An Unexpected Morning

“We cannot confirm anything at the moment,” Sneijder said. “But the Camarilla received news from China that some vampires have been going around injuring humans so Lilith from the Ventrue clan and Lafayette from the Brujah clan have been sent over to China to investigate.”

“Oh? Those two kids have gone there?” The man smiled with squinted eyes, “Must be someone influential.”

“Apparently it was a letter from Pluto who’s now in China but that is as far as our information goes.”

“Hades?” The man curled his lips and something shone in his eyes. “Interesting. The current Pluto, he's the first human who inherited the title right?”

Sneijder nodded. “Yes, Your Royal Highness. Should we depart immediately to Zhonghai and search for Court Drogba? I fear the consequences of their initial meeting.”

The man waved his hands nonchalantly. “Don't bother. He's my son and a pureblood vampire. Not even a god would be able to find him so quickly. I’m more interested in Pluto compared to his safety…”

Sneijder trembled and said, “Your Royal Highness, I disagree with that.”

“Hmm? Why?”

“In the previous war in France, not even the half-god Sargeras from the Ventrue clan could beat the new Pluto. We’re no match for him, even for someone as powerful as Your Royal Highness!”

Fear was evident in Sneijder’s eyes.

The man threw back his head and laughed, “Sneijder, I'm grateful for your concern but I am well aware of my capabilities.”

Sneijder frowned but he didn't dare to say anything else. He vanished from the church after a respectful bow.

The man turned around and looked at the giant golden cross that was hanging above.

“God? Ha…”

He snorted. In one swift turn, he walked towards the door.

As he walked out of the door, the golden cross had started to change!

Powder started to rain down and soon, there was nothing more than a pile of gold ash on the ground!

Following that, the sculpture of Jesus collapsed onto the ground…

The next moment, the man’s silhouette was nowhere to be found.

Yang Chen put down his bun and told Zhenxiu, “Zhenxiu, open the door.”

Zhenxiu was startled. “Open the door? Are we expecting anyone?”

“He’s already here.” Yang Chen sounded bored.

Zhenxiu nodded in confusion, but she still ran out to open the door, aware of Yang Chen’s special abilities.

Wang Ma and Guo Xuehua were both confused but they could tell that the guest wasn't welcomed by Yang Chen.

Zhenxiu was dumbfounded when she opened the door. Her eyes were filled with disgust when she recognized the person.

It was a young man draped in a military jacket with a star on his shoulder. He walked inside with a bouquet of fresh flowers in hand.

This young man turned out to be Yang Lie!

Everyone else finally knew why Yang Chen’s face had darkened. They might be brothers but they were each other's destined enemies.

Hui Lin pouted upon seeing him. She hated Yang Lie for incessantly pursuing her.

Guo Xuehua knew that both of her sons were not on good terms but she was still happy to see him after a long while. She walked towards him and said excitedly, “Lie’er, where were you this whole time? Why didn't you call me?”

Yang Lie squinted his eyes and looked towards Yang Chen who was eating his breakfast in silence. “Mom, I'm sorry for my behavior in the past. I was childish and immature. I brought some flowers to seek your forgiveness.”

Having said so, he pushed the flowers into her hands.

Guo Xuehua’s eyes turned watery when she finally heard the apology from her disobedient son.

Yang Chen, on the other hand, frowned when he heard that...
