The First Vampire-Chapter 702 - : 700 Inquiries_1
Chapter 702: 700 Inquiries_1
The courtyard suddenly became quiet, leaving only the unrestrained racket of the children behind.
Magician Cusius froze for a moment, but quickly recovered.
He chuckled nonchalantly and then rose to take his son from his back and tossed the child to the butler. With a laughing face, he then addressed Colin:
“Duke St. Chapman, I was not expecting your visit, I apologize for my rudeness. Please forgive me.”
Colin observed Magician Cusius with amusement. The man seemed completely unfazed and unashamed by the embarrassing scene witnessed by an outsider.
“It’s fine. I recently became a father myself, so I understand how you feel.”
...
Magician Cusius burst into hearty laughter and warmly invited Colin into the house. He personally served him tea and water.
“Duke, may I ask why you have graced me with your visit today?”
Colin replied with a slight smile, choosing not to beat around the bush:
“Have you been following the recent developments in the East?”
“I’ve heard some things.”
“Tell me, how do they dare to kill my student?”
“Mr. Ji has always been very skilled at manipulating people’s hearts.”
Colin’s eyes flickered; he immediately asked:
“So, you are certain that the instigator from the East is Mr. Ji?”
Magician Cusius sighed, pulled out a letter from his pocket, and handed it to Colin, explaining:
“Duke, this letter was sent to me by Mr. Ji not long ago, inviting me to help him in the East.”

Colin hurriedly scanned over it; he then asked:
“So, why didn’t you accept his invitation?”
Magician Cusius shrugged and laughed:
“Duke, I have already established my home and business here in Winterfell City. Why would I want to involve myself in such violent affairs? Moreover, considering my relationship with the Northern Duke, seeking a future for my son here is better than having him in Yevir, tediously studying those dry arcane knowledge.
Besides, as I have honestly told you before, I have never had much faith in Mr. Ji. He is overly reliant on intrigues and schemes but fails to pragmatically build his power. Until now, he still has to resort to petty tricks to manipulate others. He is not capable of great things.”
Colin laughed noncommittally, whether he believed Magician Cusius’ words or not was unclear. He just asked:
“What do you think Mr. Ji used to convince those nobles in the East to confront me?”
In fact, this was Colin’s biggest doubt.
He had already led the Blood Knight Army to sweep through the East once, so the Eastern nobles were surely aware of the consequences of defying him.
Moreover, the majority of the main forces in the East have been deployed to the frontline in the Luwal Valley, leaving only secondary troops behind, who were no match for the Blood Knight Army.
Colin couldn’t understand where they found the courage.
And as for Mr. Ji, Colin didn’t believe he posed any threat either.
Although the man had taken over the body of a Holy Knight, judging from the fact that Prince Lexie keeps chasing him around, his actual strength was inferior to a real Holy Knight.
In his True Blood Form, Colin was even stronger than a Holy Knight of the same rank, so dealing with Mr. Ji wouldn’t be a problem.
Moreover, Colin had another Holy Warrior Blood Slave.
So what did Mr. Ji rely on to dare to incite those Eastern nobles to assassinate Colin’s student?
Magician Cusius touched his nose and laughed awkwardly:
“Duke, I really don’t know about this… However, in my view, Mr. Ji’s trump card might be the Eyes of Judgement.”
Colin had thought of this as well.
But to be honest, he didn’t think Mr. Ji would be able to initiate the Eyes of Judgement again.
The person sitting on the armchair was dressed in a loose white Tang suit. He held a purple clay teapot in his right hand and was slowly counting the Bodhi pearls in his left hand. After counting them one round, he held the white jade pendant in the center and slowly rubbed it.
This person was none other than Gong Monan.
His mental state looked very good, and his eyes were very bright and spirited. If you only looked at his eyes, you wouldn’t think that he was a man in his forties at all.
Gong Monan didn’t seem to hear the woman in black at all. He took a sip of tea from the purple clay teapot.
The woman in black was furious because she was ignored. She raised her voice and said,”Mr. Gong …”
As soon as he finished speaking, the person standing behind Gong Monan suddenly pulled out a gun and aimed it at the woman in black.
“No one can be rude to Mister,”
The woman in black was so frightened that her body trembled and her face turned pale.”Gong … Mr. Gong … I-I didn’t mean that. I just … It’s just …”
Her legs went weak, and her tongue stiffened in fear. She could not even finish the second half of her sentence.
Gong Monan put down the teapot and looked at the woman in black. “”Who do you think you are? How dare you call yourself a guest?”
“I…”
“I thought…We are …”
The woman in black wanted to say that they were working together, but when she saw the black muzzle, she swallowed her words.
This was her first time using a real gun on the street, and also her first time being pointed at by a gun.
It was too terrifying. It was as if a bullet could shoot out of the muzzle at any time and pierce through her head.
Gong Monan looked at her with a smile as if he was looking at a junior. However, his eyes were abnormally cold and devoid of any warmth. They were like snakes, cruel and terrifying.
The woman in black felt cold under his gaze.
The cold feeling was different from when he was waiting outside the door and being blown by the cold wind.
It was as if…Under his gaze, you could feel your life slowly draining away from your body. Your body became stiff and cold, just like that … He was experiencing the feeling of walking towards death.
The woman in black finally realized that the Gong Monan she saw last time wasn’t his true self.
Perhaps he still wasn’t his real self, but he was beginning to show a little of his fearsomeness.
Just this little bit was enough to make the woman in black regret it.
She regretted coming here alone.
She had underestimated Gong Monan. Although she had heard about him from some people in the past, those rumors did not affect her at all.
Now, after experiencing it for herself, she knew that what others said was true.
” You can’t think of anything, ” Gong Monan said slowly. ” I’ve already shown you the greatest mercy by allowing you to stand in front of me…”
When the woman in black heard this, she couldn’t control her legs and fell to the ground with a thud. Her knees hit the hard floor, but she didn’t feel any pain. The fear in her heart had already overcome everything.
“Yes, it would be an honour for me to become Abi’s teacher.”
Magician Cusius clapped his hands excitedly: “Great, I’m going to get the little guy right now!”
Without hesitation, he darted out of the lounge.
