Of course.
African Americans don't care about that. They just think that not allowing African Americans to live there is racial discrimination. So, they keep on complaining, holding up signs to protest, and complaining...
After all.
It's because they have nothing to do, but these people only dare to stay on the side of the road and don't dare to step into the steps of the Star Building, because the security guards of the Star Building really dare to shoot.
Skye, who was sitting in the back, just glanced at it and then paid no attention.
Skye used to think that the Star Building was a racially discriminatory building, but after living there and being exposed to the environment, he also felt that these African Americans outside were simply bored and looking for trouble.
soon.
School has started at Midtown High School.
Skye once again returned to her daily routine of taking the school bus to school with Alexis, going to the library with Gwen, and then being taken home by one of Lake, Castle, or George.
So does Lake.
Being promoted to deputy director of New York State did not change Lake's work and rest habits. It was just a matter of attending a few more meetings and banging the table a few more times. It was very simple, and his assistant Tiffany also came along.
Jack became the deputy director of the operations team. For this, Jack and his wife specially invited Lake to dinner at home to express their gratitude.
soon.
The end of January has arrived.
Just like last year, Lake created an avatar to stay in New York and continue working, while he hid his glasses. Like last year, he rented a car from the Continental Hotel and prepared to go to the private airport outside Jersey City to board the plane.
This year is different from previous years.
If Lake had reasons not to go before, then this year there is definitely no reason not to go.
Because the child's mother was going to sleep, and this sleep would last for a hundred years, so a few days ago, Emilia urged Lake to come and make preparations early.
for example...
The question is what to do with the two children after she goes to bed.
Lake was also waiting for this day.
The child's mother went to sleep and slept for a hundred years. How is this possible?
sleep?
When you really die, you will have plenty of time to sleep.
at the moment?
If he really let the child's mother go to sleep, Lake was afraid that a hundred years later, the child's mother would fight him to the death. The reason was probably very simple, because he couldn't help but kill the rebellious son himself!
In the evening.
It's still that private airport.
The airport gatekeeper is still Mr. Molabi, who is in his seventies or eighties.
Standing at the plane's boarding door were the vampires Anton and Sahu, still looking cool.
A long time ago, there was a plague. Many people died in that plague. However, there was still one person who survived the virus and overcame the plague through genetic mutation, becoming the first immortal in human history. This person's name was Alexander Corvinus.
Alexander Corvinus had three sons, but with the Western concept of family, most of them were raised freely, not to mention in the past. So, due to poor care, his eldest son was bitten by a bat and became a vampire, and his second son was bitten by a wolf and became a werewolf.
The eldest son's name is Marcus.
The second son's name was William.
As for the third one?
Fortunately, he was not bitten by anything and has always been an ordinary person. Fortunately, he was not bitten, otherwise, Corvinus' bloodline would have been broken.
Afterwards.
Marcus bit the human leader Victor and the noblewoman Emilia, and together they stopped the werewolves that were wreaking havoc in Europe at the time. As time went on, they formed the Vampire Council.
Marcus, Victor, and Emilia are the three elders of the Vampire Council. They have an agreement that when one elder is in charge, the other two elders will sleep for a hundred years and take turns in ruling.
Today, Europe's top consortium, the VAM Consortium, is a combination of the initials of the names of these three people, and this consortium is the group they use to manage the wealth they have accumulated over the years.
at the moment?
Emilia's reign is about to reach a hundred years. According to the agreement, it will be Marcus who wakes up and takes charge of the next hundred years.
Yes.
Emilia is the mother of Lake's two children, son David and daughter Catherine.
As for Lake and Emilia's meeting, it was also very simple.
At that time, Lake was still in the army. After the vacation, he went out to travel. As a result, he traveled to a small town in Europe at that time and offended vampires.
The vampire came and wanted to drink Lake's blood.
after...
What did Lake say at that time? He had just debuted, so he was bitten to death by the vampire. Unfortunately, Lake was immortal. Then, he took advantage of the vampire's inattention and killed him with a knife.
What followed was the so-called clichéd plot of "the younger one gets beaten and the younger one comes back".
What kind of character is Lake?
Don't be afraid, just do it.
As a result, he was spotted by Emilia. On a dark and windy night, Emilia found Lake lurking outside the castle, preparing to open the window when the sun rose the next day.
That's how Lake and Emilia met.
Emilia looks like a queen.
What a coincidence.
Lake likes royal sisters.
Then, after a few interactions, Emilia suddenly told her that she was pregnant. This was amazing because Emilia was a vampire, and an elder-level vampire at that. It was amazing that she could get pregnant.
Lake was also confused at the time and once suspected that he had become the one to take over.
but...
Vampires cannot get pregnant, at least not internally, but Emilia's belly is actually getting bigger, which is very surprising.
The most surprising thing is yet to come.
Emilia is no longer afraid of the sun.
Lake thought of the immortal body he had extracted. Perhaps, when the first explosion occurred in her body, Emilia, who had received the essence, was a little different.
After all, to a certain extent, Lake and Alexander Corvinus are both immortals. No, Lake's immortality is even greater than Alexander Corvinus's.
That guy's immortality is a joke. He is immortal and can be killed by others.
Lake's is 100% immortal.
wrong.
It should be considered immortal!
Then time flies and it is now.
Lake goes to Emilia's place every year for a family reunion of three.
Of course.
Lake appeared there as an ordinary person.
At the very least, the two vampires on the plane, Anton and Sahu, including other vampires, thought that Lake was a pretty boy kept by Emilia who couldn't stand being lonely.
Lake had no objection to this. As long as no one provoked him, everything would be fine. Those vampires who had dealt with Lake in the past were secretly killed after Emilia found out that she was pregnant and not even afraid of the sunlight.
And he wasn't pretending, he just wanted to expose himself. Others didn't bother him because of Emilia, so he couldn't just lose his temper at will.
I'm not a tyrant.
Lake thought so in his heart.
A few hours later.
The plane arrived at a private airport outside Budapest. Immediately afterwards, Lake walked out of the cabin alone, got into the black car of the VAM Consortium, and headed to a nearby train station connected to the Emilia Mountain Castle.
Ever since Emilia became pregnant, she moved from the castle in Budapest to a century-old castle in the mountains and forests north of Budapest. Except for a few personal female attendants, other vampires were not allowed to approach the castle, otherwise they would be killed directly.
An hour later.
This train, which looks like a medieval train, is parked steadily at the train station halfway up the mountain.
Lake got out of the car wearing sunglasses.
"Daddy!"
The girl looked a little pale, but she looked almost taller than Skye. She wore a sweet shirt and high-waisted jeans that showed off her perfect figure. Katherine, who inherited Lake's hair color and had smooth blonde hair, happily threw herself into Lake's arms and raised her head, "I've been waiting for you here since dusk."
Lake laughed and looked at his eldest daughter in his arms.
The eldest daughter was thirteen years old, but now she looks like she is eighteen or nineteen. Although she stays in the castle all year round, she is knowledgeable and beautiful. After all, vampires are a long-lived race. After Lake's request, Emilia directly found several professors who were about to die of illness, and asked other vampires to transform them, and then use them to teach Catherine and her son David.
And Lake comes every year.
very good.
My daughter didn't grow up crooked.
Lake is very sure about this, his daughter has always been his sweetheart.
As for his son David?
hehe.
I warned you once last year, don't force me to draw out Seven Wolves!
On the way to the castle.
Lake asked, "Where's David?"
Katherine shrugged and said, "He went to Kraven's place."
Craven.
If Emilia is now the centennial queen of the Vampire Council, then this Kraven is the so-called vampire prime minister, because Kraven "killed" the werewolf threat Lucian, became the so-called hero of the vampires, and became the prime minister, fully responsible for handling affairs in the vampire world.
Lake's eyes flickered. "I remember I told him last year not to get too close to Kraven."
My daughter is my little cotton-padded jacket.
His son was a rebellious son, and at one point Lake wanted to beat him to death.
And because of the growth period of the vampire race, it seems that his son David has entered puberty and the so-called rebellious period early. At one point, it was even believed that Lake was the so-called pretty boy among other vampires.
This made Lake very unhappy. If Emilia wasn't a bit patriarchal, like David, Lake would have hung him up and taken out the Seven Wolves to give him a good lesson.
He even dared to kill his girlfriend.
A son?
Considered poor.
Lake has plenty of sons if he wants.
soon.
A huge mountain castle built in the Middle Ages appeared in Lake's sight.
The castle's drawbridge slowly descended under the action of automatic machinery.
Lake walked into the castle, pulled by his daughter Catherine, who was hugging him and telling him about the interesting things that happened last year.
In front of the main hall of the castle is a huge square.
In the square, an angel-like fountain was flowing slowly, with two goldfish playing in it. Several vampire female attendants dressed like medieval court girls were moving around in every corner of the castle.
This castle is different from other vampire castles. It is lively. If other vampire castles and villas are lifeless, then the castle in front of you seems particularly lively, perhaps because of the people living there or because of the flowers decorating the square. Anyone who walks here will not think that the owner of this castle is an ancient royal vampire.
Emilia appeared at the door of the main hall.
Lake looked.
