"Miss Alice, today's sun... the moon is so round."
"Sorry, I need to rest now."
Watching Alice leave impatiently, Ning Fan smiled wryly. If Andrew wasn't still around to restrain her, this young lady would have left long ago.
"Such a failure. Am I really that pathetic?"
Ning Fan dejectedly stroked his chin; this was the first time he had been snubbed by a woman.
Back in his room, he looked at the full moon in the sky, feeling the magic power within Alice surging uncontrollably.
The Blood Clan are children of the night, blessed by moonlight every evening, especially on such a full moon night when the blessing becomes more pronounced.
"I wonder what Adams is up to?"
Alice cupped her chin with both hands, staring dreamily at the full moon in the sky, her mind filled with the scene of Adams commanding with authority, revered by all.
As the night deepened, the bustling night market in New York gradually quieted down, even the homeless on the streets had drifted into slumber.
