Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

This matter absolutely cannot be ignored.

Ye Ge immediately contacted Long Ying through the system communication and explained the situation to her.

"Such a thing actually happened?" Long Ying sat on the throne and pondered for a moment: "You're right. I was negligent and overlooked the fact that some dark races can maintain their human form and lurk in human territory."

"Fortunately, with your Deep Blue System, it's now very easy to verify identities. I can immediately order the law enforcement officers to conduct a census."

“Yes, we’d better act quickly,” Night Song said. “The curses that afflicted those two vampire warriors are the highest-level and most vicious curses among vampires, which means they are carrying top-level military secrets.”

Long Ying's expression brightened: "I understand."

The call was disconnected.

Ye Ge looked at the two pools of blood on the ground again and fell into deep thought.

Recently, numerous unexplained disappearances have occurred in suburban towns and cities along the outer and middle ring roads...

Could it be related to these vampires?

......

Vampire territory.

A vampire warrior knelt on one knee in front of Nicholas, rapidly reporting something in the vampire language.

Nicholas held a glass of blood wine in his right hand. As he listened, he suddenly stopped swirling the wine in his glass, and his eyes gradually turned cold.

"These idiots, after lying in wait for so many years, actually exposed themselves at such a crucial moment."

Nicholas placed his glass on the table beside him: "Hmph, all my years of preparation have been for nothing!"

More than eight years ago, during the civil war in the southern part of the human empire, Nicholas took advantage of the war between the Ye family and Wang En to lead the vampire army into the southern territory.

After Wang En's defeat, the vampire army was quickly defeated in the face of the human counterattack.

Nicholas promptly ordered the vampire army to retreat.

Because his purpose in sending troops that time was not to conquer the southern border.

Instead, they wanted to take advantage of the invasion of the southern border to have a large number of their elite vampire warriors infiltrate the human empire, allowing them to live in human society in human form, laying the groundwork for a bigger plan in the future!

After all, when he attacked, he brought hundreds of thousands of vampires with him. Even if he left behind more than a thousand vampires when he retreated, no one would notice.

His plan was originally very successful. In more than eight years, those vampires who had infiltrated human society had gained a foothold in the human empire. Several of them had even gotten married and had children. Some of them had joined various guilds and sects and become high-ranking members. Some of them had even become lovers of certain noble lords!

When the time comes, these spies he planted in human society, working together from the inside and outside, can definitely play a terrifying role!

but now......

An elderly vampire stood behind him and said, "My lord, you can't really blame them."

"These vampire warriors you arranged have been infiltrating the human empire for eight years. Medicine alone can no longer suppress their 'blood thirst'."

"Vampires' love for drinking human blood is an uncontrollable instinct. Over the years, these warriors have been taking drugs for a long time, and their bodies have gradually developed resistance to the drugs used to suppress their 'blood thirst.' They probably couldn't bear it any longer, which is why they hunted civilians in the human empire."

“Yes, yes.” Another vampire officer echoed, then hesitated before defending him, “Besides, sir, it’s just two vampire warriors who were exposed, it shouldn’t matter, right? Vampires invading human territory to hunt humans has happened before… Nobody should take it seriously.”

"Nothing to do with it?" Nicholas sneered. "In the past, this would have been normal, but since Empress Long Ying came to power, the human empire has been much more vigilant than before. Dark races are no longer so easy to infiltrate the human empire. Recently, so many ordinary people in the lower classes of human society have disappeared without a trace. Do you really think humans are all fools?"

"The most crucial thing is that that idiot just happened to provoke Ye Ge."

"Given his intelligence level, this kind of thing can't be hidden from him. This matter will definitely arouse his suspicion, and then it will definitely trigger a large-scale and rigorous investigation by human law enforcement officers."

Vampire officer: "Then what should we do?"

Nicholas fell silent, his fingers tapping lightly on the table as he pondered.

In fact, he didn't know what to do at the moment.

Originally, he had made all the preparations to plunder the Azure Dragon Treasure.

Nicholas was the first of the dark races to discover the remains of the Azure Dragon buried in human territory.

He had already discovered this eight years ago, which is why he cooperated with Wang En at that time and planned to lay out these pieces.

Everything was for the Azure Dragon's remains.

Unexpectedly, at this critical juncture, the most important link has run into trouble!

"I never expected your vampire clan to be so useless."

A voice with a slightly mechanical tone and no emotion whatsoever came over.

Nicholas looked up.

A young man dressed in a jet-black suit and a dark top hat, whose appearance was very similar to that of a human, walked in wearing leather shoes.

Although he resembled a human, there were still slight differences between him and humans. There was a barely perceptible black line on each side of his face, and his skin had a faint, elegant silver hue, which was definitely not a normal human skin color.

"A bunch of lowly dark creatures who can't even control their own nature. It seems I've chosen the wrong partner." The young man spoke very rudely.

The vampire officer was immediately displeased by the young man's words: "Hey, you..."

Nicholas raised his hand, signaling him to shut up, then smiled at the mysterious man: "Mr. Carl, this is just a small accident, I think I can handle it."

“Really?” Karl said, “But I don’t trust you at all now. Eight years ago, I helped your vampire clan obtain identity information in human society, which allowed thousands of your vampires to successfully infiltrate the human empire and directly obtain legitimate and credible identities.”

"Even so, you still manage to mess things up, which shows how stupid and incompetent you are."

"I think I should choose to cooperate with other, more intelligent dark races."

Nicholas said, "Things are far from that bad. Please give us another chance."

Carl said expressionlessly, "Then tell me, what's your plan to fix this?"

Nicholas hesitated: "This..."

"You still won't admit your incompetence," Karl sneered.

Nicholas could only force a smile, after all, he still needed their help: "Mr. Carl, if you have a way, we will do our best to cooperate."

Karl gave a dismissive snort, then said, "Fine, I won't pursue this matter further this time. Besides, perhaps this is also an opportunity."

"An opportunity?" Nicholas asked, puzzled.
