The four dukes were most wary of him. They knew that one of the six dukes, who had disappeared, was the work of Simon. How could the other four dukes not be wary of him?
Simon looked at the cup of bright red blood before him, feeling a sense of unease. However, blood was incredibly attractive to vampires, especially the finest blood.
“Are you afraid I’ll put something unclean in it?” Duke Harrison said with a smile, but the meaning behind his words was unsettling.
Simon gave him a cold look, and Harrison stiffened slightly.
That look just now had frightened him. He couldn’t tolerate being afraid of him.
Harrison harbored hostility toward Simon, but that hostility had to be buried deep within him. He had only just awakened, and his power was not yet fully awakened, so he was not Simon’s opponent.
The only duchess smiled and said, “Simon, if you don’t want to drink it, I can do it for you.”
As she spoke, the duchess lightly licked her red lips, seemingly drooling over the cup of blood.
Simon picked up the cup of bright red blood and took a small sip. As the blood entered his throat and reached his heart, his body trembled slightly. Then he tossed the cup aside.
Harrison and the others were shocked by his actions. The other three dukes looked at Harrison with suspicion, as if he had tampered with the blood.
Harrison felt a surge of embarrassment; he hadn’t done anything at all.
However, Simon’s reaction was too strange.
Simon abruptly raised his head, his crimson eyes coldly staring at Harrison as he asked, “Where is she?”
Harrison was completely bewildered, not understanding what he was talking about.
The next second, Simon vanished, appearing directly in front of Harrison.
Harrison reacted quickly, but even when he tried to dodge, he still took a solid blow from Simon’s palm.
After jumping back, Harrison’s long, narrow eyes glared menacingly at the seemingly deranged man before him.
“Simon, what’s wrong with you? I didn’t tamper with the blood. Don’t even think about harming me.”
“I’ll ask you one last time, where is the owner of this blood?” Simon’s voice was chillingly cold.
The thought that the blood they were drinking came from her made Simon like a mad lion, ready to pounce. He was worried, worried that something might have happened to her.
A person who had lost so much blood was in grave danger.
Unless he could embrace her before she had a last breath, no one could save her.
Harrison finally realized that his madness stemmed from the blood’s owner.
“What? You want to take her from me? She’s the blood cow I painstakingly found!”
Simon’s face was terrifyingly grim: “Hand her over, or I’ll slaughter your entire territory.”
Upon hearing this, the dukes stared at him in astonishment, especially Harrison, who hadn’t expected such madness.
A duke fighting another duke is nothing special, but a war between one territory and another is a different story; it can potentially reshape the entire continent*.
(格局, geju: a concept encompassing political landscape, social order, and overall situation.)
This was no small matter; it was not to be taken lightly.
The last time territories clashed was eight thousand years ago.
Harrison looked at Simon as if he were a madman.
She was just an insignificant blood cow; was such a large-scale war really necessary?
