This naturally made Viktor very displeased, but fortunately, the person by Seline's side was a human male, possibly a familiar specifically for blood consumption.
So, although Viktor was angry, he didn't immediately move to strangle Javier; at least he had to ask about the situation first.
But if Javier were a werewolf...
Sorry... Viktor would probably be furious and tear Javier limb from limb on the spot.
After all, although Seline was only Viktor's adopted daughter, Viktor, who had no descendants, indeed treated Seline as his own daughter to compensate for the lost paternal love for his biological daughter, Sonja.
"..."
"Forgive me, I didn't mean to disturb your slumber, but it's of great importance, and I had no choice but to seek out a high-ranking Vampire to report to."
"As for Elder Amelia, I don't believe she has the capability to handle this matter. And this human beside me, you can simply consider him a crucial clue; he cannot be easily harmed, which is why I brought him here."
Kneeling on one knee, Seline explained with an incredibly respectful demeanor, and her words indeed somewhat eased Viktor's emotions.
Although Seline's abrupt act of waking him was against the rules, her trusting him more than the current ruling Elder Amelia made Viktor quite satisfied.
Who doesn't like a loyal subordinate? Not to mention this person was his adopted daughter.
This strongly suggested that Seline had thoroughly accepted him as a qualified father, which pleased Viktor greatly.
"Oh?"
"What is it? Although that woman Amelia is indeed not smart in some aspects, she is genuinely an Elder who cares for the Vampire clan."
"Many matters should be sufficient for her to handle, after all, she is in power now. If I interfere excessively, it will lead to malicious rumors of power struggle. I entered slumber to avoid suspicion."
Showing a hint of doubt, Viktor looked at Seline in front of him and asked indifferently. Amelia was one of his mistresses, and while she was a mistress, that was many years ago.
Now, that woman's ambition had grown vast, and her influence was already on par with Viktor's, with many Vampire subordinates supporting her.
But even so, Viktor could see that Amelia was indeed devoted to the development of the Vampire clan; it was just that her own abilities were limited, preventing her from being a great leader...
Therefore, Viktor was very curious,
What kind of matter could be so important that even that woman Amelia couldn't handle it—
"This is indeed a very important matter..."
"Please see, this is a weapon I just seized from a group of Werewolves. This is a special pistol; it doesn't use gunpowder for propulsion but simply uses parts to launch bullets. The crossbow also works in a similar way."
"And the bullets it fires are these blue bullets, Ultraviolet Bullets. They contain energy equivalent to direct sunlight."
"Once hit, we Vampires will be instantly incinerated, no different from being exposed to the sun. The Werewolves are gradually popularizing this dangerous weapon. This is the Vampire Warrior who was shot dead by an Ultraviolet Bullet."
"Just now, when we were encircling the Werewolves, out of four Vampire Warriors, we lost three. This has never happened before. If the Werewolves continue to popularize this weapon in the future, it will likely cause even more severe damage!"
Handing the picked-up Ultraviolet Bullet and white pistol to Viktor, Seline then threw the Vampire corpse from Javier's back in front of Viktor and explained calmly.
Upon hearing Seline's explanation, Viktor began to examine the weapon slowly in his hand, but soon... his previously eased expression turned grim again.
This matter was indeed serious and would cause significant losses to the Vampire clan, but it wasn't critical enough to warrant waking him.
If this was the only matter, then he would have to punish his adopted daughter Seline; this was an unavoidable rule—
Just like his biological daughter Sonja, who once violated the rules by mating with a werewolf slave, if rules were violated, punishment must be accepted.
Violating rules was just a fig leaf for Viktor, but now... he seemed to have become obsessed with the Vampire rules, beginning to enforce order even more strictly, with anyone who violated it facing punishment.
But in reality, Viktor just didn't want to admit that his execution of his biological daughter Sonja back then was an impulsive and very regrettable act for him...
And Javier seemed to have seen through Viktor's thoughts, so he took the initiative to explain to Elder Viktor before Seline could speak:
"The development of weapons..."
"Not only does it indicate the harm it poses to the Vampire clan, but more importantly, it's a premonition, a premonition that the Werewolves are no longer foolish and clumsy, even if they are a group of lowly ants gathered together."
"But they truly possess extraordinary power that ordinary people cannot have, and they can use this extraordinary power to command and force a group of intelligent humans to do things for them."
"And this weapon is precisely the best evidence. It was not developed by the werewolves, but a weapon forced upon humans for its development."
"Additionally, they are also attempting to find a special serum that can perfectly blend the blood of Vampires, Werewolves, and humans into a special experimental subject."
"Then, they would use this human to create a new species that surpasses both Vampires and Werewolves. This species would be stronger than both Vampires and Werewolves, and naturally, it could easily wipe out the Vampire clan. This is the most important matter!"
"Elder Viktor, do you remember Lucian, the Werewolves leader you created hundreds of years ago? The first generation of Werewolves were beasts who couldn't turn back into humans."
"But a human child was born inside a beast's belly. You knew it was a disaster, but you still kept it, and that child was Lucian."
"The ancestor of the second generation of Werewolves, and to continue creating and enslaving such a race, you had Lucian bite many people, infecting them and turning them into Werewolves."
"And now, the Werewolves are attempting to imitate this method, creating a third, more powerful species to continue the history of hundreds of years ago and completely overthrow Vampire rule."
"And it seems... they have recently found this special experimental subject. For this matter, do you still think it's not important enough? If it's not taken seriously, the Vampire clan will likely face utter destruction!"
One by one, Looking at the Vampire Elder Viktor, Javier explained calmly, narrating all matters with great realism.
Even Seline, standing beside him, was unaware of these details and also looked at Javier with a surprised expression, as if saying, "Why didn't you tell me these things before?"
However, Although the words were true, Javier's explanation provoked great displeasure from Viktor. Since when... did a human dare to interject in matters of Vampires?
Moreover... hearing the name Lucian from a human's mouth enraged Viktor greatly.
That slave, who once defiled his daughter and overthrew Vampire rule, always filled Viktor with immense humiliation whenever he recalled him!
Therefore...
"Boom—!!!"
In just the blink of an eye, Viktor vanished from his spot, leaving behind ruptured blood vessels and splattered blood on the ground.
His slender, withered hand fiercely grabbed towards Javier's throat, attempting to choke Javier's neck, to teach this ignorant human a lesson.
But it seemed...
Viktor had underestimated Javier's abilities slightly.
This was biohazard, where the power of the virus held the dominant position, and the power fused from the T-Virus might not be much inferior to that of Vampires.
Even if the Vampire progenitor Marcus himself were to revive in front of him, Javier would not be afraid—!
"Clang—!"
A crisp sound, Javier directly drew the Yamato summoned from his spatial ring. A flash of snowy white blade light appeared.
This slash was not forceful, but gently parried Viktor's grasping hand. As a Vampire Elder, Viktor's hand was as hard as steel. When the two collided, a crisp sound naturally erupted, and sparks flew instantly!
"Hmm...?!"
But this sudden parry made Viktor incredibly surprised. This was just a human, yet his strength was so extraordinary.
Moreover, he was one of the three great Elders of the Vampires. Even though he had just awakened and his strength had slightly declined during slumber, his power was still incredibly terrifying.
Yet, Javier still managed to block it, which made Viktor extremely incredulous. Of course,
It wasn't just Viktor, Even Seline, standing nearby, was incredibly surprised. She hadn't expected her adoptive father Viktor to rashly attack Javier, an ordinary human, and what was even more astonishing was that Javier actually blocked him?
The series of events she encountered today were very fantastical, completely exceeding Seline's worldview—
"Wait, Father!"
"You cannot harm him. This human is a very important clue. All the Werewolves's plots were told to me personally by him."
"And these matters have been confirmed one by one. If he dies, we won't be able to obtain any more clues as easily!"
Although the situation was somewhat fantastical, Seline still quickly stopped her adoptive father Viktor, hurriedly shielding Javier behind her, her ice-blue eyes fixed on Viktor, not intending to let her adoptive father continue his attack.
At the same time, this was the first time in a long while that she had used the address "Father," indicating that Seline was serious about pleading on his behalf...
"..."
"Heh heh, interesting... You are not an ordinary human, Seline. No need to worry so much about this human."
"I originally thought he was your Vampire familiar, but now... it seems I was mistaken. Human, what is your name, and who are you?"
"Why do you know so many secrets? You should know that even that woman Amelia was not aware of these details back then!"
Watching Javier easily block his attack, Viktor looked at Javier with a somewhat grave expression, re-evaluating him from head to toe, and asked with a heavy tone,
After all, From that single move, it could be deduced that Javier was no ordinary person. Not even a transformed werewolf could block Viktor's attack so easily.
Even if it was just a show of force, it was enough to prove that Javier's strength was greater than that of ordinary Werewolves.
"My name is Javier, an envoy sent down by God."
"I am here specifically to guide you Vampires to avoid signs of disaster, but unfortunately... your daughter doesn't believe me, which truly saddens me."
"I think Elder Viktor, as one of the powerful Vampires, should at least trust a little of what I say."
Facing Viktor's inquiry, Javier showed a very helpless expression, continuing to impersonate his identity as a divine envoy, as he intended to maintain this identity to the end.
But Viktor was no fool; on the contrary, he was extremely cunning and sly, much smarter than Seline, and naturally even less inclined to believe in such things as divine envoys.
Although Vampires were supernatural beings existing in the world, Viktor couldn't help but marvel at the Vampires' strength, but he still didn't believe there were divine envoys in the world.
After all, if there truly were God and divine envoys, they would have long since eliminated evil Vampires like them, and naturally wouldn't leave such unnatural scourges to exist in the world!
However, As an old fox, Viktor also understood what Javier wanted to do. This human wanted to intervene in the Vampire clan as a divine envoy, and then gain the status and power he desired within the Vampire clan.
After all, if he joined simply as a human, it would be too lowly, no different from those so-called elite humans or social scum who tried to join the Vampires.
Therefore, Viktor did not directly disrespect Javier like his adopted daughter Seline, but instead showed a fawning smile and continued to ask indifferently:
"As one of the wielders of power, I would indeed not be so decisive."
"If Mr. Javier can provide more evidence to prove your identity, then it is not impossible for me, on behalf of the Vampire clan, to acknowledge your status as a divine envoy."
There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. As long as appropriate benefits could be given, then everyone could become friends. As an old fox, Viktor understood what Javier wanted.
As long as Javier could provide Viktor and the Vampire clan with enough intelligence and benefits, then treating this human, Javier, as an honored guest was not out of the question.
