This sentence is very hurtful and, at the same time, extremely insulting.
But Catherine was telling the truth.
Yesterday, Catherine told her stupid brother that tomorrow was the day Lake would come over, so David should behave himself and not run around.
The result...
As soon as night fell yesterday, David ran to Craven.
Catherine had no feelings about the smoky manor and didn't want to go there, so she could only settle for the next best thing and see if she could provide some cover for Lake.
As a result, Lake failed to provide cover as soon as he arrived.
"Then why didn't you tell me he was very strong."
"Why should I tell you?"
"…"
Catherine spread her hands and said to David in the confinement room, "Besides, you idiot, even if I told you, would you believe me? Daddy once said that an action is worth a thousand words. Don't you now fully understand Daddy's strength?"
Need I say more?
Emilia's attitude towards Lake.
The vampires in the castle treat Lake like this.
Isn't this obvious enough?
They don't live in some deep mountains or forests. There are so many vampires outside. If you pay attention, it will not be difficult to find out that none of the ordinary people supported by the group of female vampires outside has any say.
Looking at Lake?
Emilia treats Lake as she treats her lover.
The vampire servants in the castle treated Lake as their master.
so.
Does this need to be said?
Anyone with eyesight who observes carefully can understand that even though their dad exudes the aura of an ordinary person from head to toe, inside and out, he is definitely not an ordinary person.
No need to prove it right now.
Catherine blinked. "But you know what, Daddy has a great body, not a single ounce of excess fat. Plus, he looked so handsome when he beat you up."
David's face darkened. "So you said I was deceived. How could I be deceived? If there was any deception, it was him who deceived me."
Catherine came back to her senses and looked at her stupid brother with an undisguised smile, mocking him: "I said you were stupid, but you still refuse to admit that you were used by that guy Kraven, idiot."
"What?"
"Who do you think you are? Kraven is the second-in-command of the Vampire Council, after all. Don't you know how he treats you? He treats you like his own son, calling you uncle all the time. Daddy once told us when we were little that anyone who shows affection to us for no reason is either a traitor or a thief!"
"I am..."
"You are a piece of shit. Don't you know what our situation is? To the outside world, we are all adopted by our mom and dad. You are a poor kid, you are..."
Catherine said this unhappily, then looked at David suspiciously: "You didn't reveal our secret that we are not afraid of sunlight."
This is the narrative that Katherine and David were raised with.
The unanimous statement to the outside world was that they were Emilia's adopted children. After all, vampires could not reproduce. Moreover, Emilia also educated them strictly and told them not to go out even during the day.
David was stunned for a moment and then shook his head: "Of course not."
He thought Lake was an ordinary person and did not respect him and even felt a little disgusted with him, but he still obeyed Emilia, who had always protected and doted on him, on some major issues.
Because David also knew that if he was exposed, then there would be big problems.
Especially in five days, Emilia will step down and be replaced by the bloodthirsty and brutal Marcus. Once Marcus knows their secret, he will probably send them directly to the laboratory.
Catherine rolled her eyes when she heard David's certainty. "Of course not, you idiot! Even Craven suspected it. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so sweet to you every day."
David frowned, "Kraven?"
Catherine shrugged. "I'm too lazy to talk to you. I'm sleepy. Just think about it yourself. I'm so tired of having a stupid brother like you. How about you provoke Daddy and let him kill you? That way, I can have all his love."
David couldn't help but say, "Don't you have all his love now? Besides, I'm his biological brother."
Catherine shrugged. "No, now it's only 99% at most. The remaining 1% is yours. Besides, I don't want to admit that I have a stupid brother like you. Others will laugh at me."
Finished.
Catherine shook her golden ponytail and left the bunker.
Before leaving.
He deliberately forgot what he had brought and left a bottle of potion at the door of the confinement room that could help vampires quickly heal various internal and external injuries.
David, whose face was bruised and swollen from being beaten, lay on the bed, staring blankly at the bottle of potion left outside and blinked.
Three days later.
It's still night.
In the square of the castle.
Lake put his hands behind his back and looked expressionlessly at David, who was standing opposite him and had lost all his momentum. His expression was indifferent: "Come."
David couldn't help swallowing.
In the past three days, after Catherine finished her own work, she would appear at the door of the confinement room and speak harshly to him, while telling him a fable about Lake.
It has to be said that only after a person or thing that he has always looked down upon has hit him, his IQ will start to come back online and start thinking about something.
For example, the attitude of the vampire maid in the castle towards Lake.
For example, when Lake got angry, even his mother Amelia didn't dare to touch Lake's beard.
Lake said expressionlessly, "Come on, I'll give you a chance. Attack me. As long as you can beat me, you'll be my boss from now on. If you tell me to go east, I won't go west. If you can't beat me, I'll do the same as I did three days ago: break your legs and put you in solitary confinement!"
It doesn't matter if you're stupid.
He has one stupid son at a time, let alone one, even if there are five, Lake doesn't care, he can afford it.
but...
He was so stupid that he was taken advantage of and even attacked his own father. Lake would rather not have such a stupid son. He would be killed sooner or later anyway. Killing him now would save him a lot of trouble in the future.
David came back to his senses and listened to Lake's disdainful and contemptuous words. A surge of anger rose in his heart and he looked at Lake.
"Come on, bro!"
"Shut up."
Emilia directly knocked on the forehead of her daughter who was watching the fun nearby. She seriously suspected that Catherine really wanted her own brother to be killed by their father and then receive his old father's 100% love.
You've already been pampered 100% of the time, and you still think it's not enough?
Catherine rubbed her forehead and stopped talking. Instead, she made gestures of effort, cheering and encouragement to David.
"Take action!"
"ah!"
"hold head high!"
David roared, his fangs bared, and his speed was even faster than last time. He appeared in front of Lake in an instant.
but.
Lake jumped into the air on the spot, his right leg turned into a dragon, and after a dragon roar, there was a bang. As fast as David came, he rushed back as fast as he did.
With a loud bang.
Lake took a step forward with his right foot, and instantly appeared above David's head as he rushed backwards, and his right foot chopped down like a giant axe.
boom!
David fell heavily on the bluestone floor. The huge impact force directly cracked the bluestone floor again.
The most advanced ancient martial arts Dragon Claw Hand.
All four limbs can transform into dragons.
"stand up!"
"…"
Lake had a blank expression on his face. He stretched his neck and looked at David, who was lying on the floor groaning. "Aren't you going to challenge me? You think I'm not qualified to discipline you? Come on, beat me and I'll call you dad!"
How come a good son turned into a rebellious one without anyone noticing?
Lake began to understand. Although there were signs last year, they were at most rebellious. But this year, he has become a rebellious son.
"Come on, bro. Get up. You can do it. Believe in yourself. Dad is just an ordinary man. Go ahead and take care of him."
"Bang!"
"Ahhh!"
Emilia grabbed Catherine by the back of her collar and threw her to David's side with a whoosh. "You're screaming so loudly, go ahead. Your dad is just an ordinary man, you're better than your brother, you go ahead."
Lake looked at the little cotton-padded jacket thrown into the field with a smile on his face.
Catherine smiled sweetly and appeared beside Lake in a flash. She hugged Lake's right arm and said to Emilia in the main hall, "I'm Daddy's little cotton-padded jacket. I'm the most caring one. That's why Daddy can't bear to hit me."
Emilia sneered, "Lake, your daughter has been delivering healing water to her brother every three days. She didn't listen to a single word of your warning."
Lake looked down at his little cotton-padded jacket: "Really?"
Catherine shook her head: "No, did you see me give David the healing water?"
Lake shook his head and looked at Emilia: "Do you have any evidence?"
Emilia rolled her eyes.
What is preference?
That's it.
One of them tells lies with open eyes, and the other is a daughter slave who wanted to hold his daughter 24 hours a day when she was little.
Emilia looked directly at David who was struggling to get up from the floor across from her: "Alright, apologize to your father and don't let those idiots use you as a pawn anymore."
David was shaking all over and trying to keep himself steady.
The ancient martial art Dragon Claw Hand is the most masculine and powerful first-class martial art of Shaolin. Lake was holding back. If it were an ordinary vampire, Lake's attack would probably be as harmful as exposing him to the sun.
Otherwise, Lake would not have chosen to use the [Jingwu Card] he won in the last lottery to exchange for this ancient martial arts dragon claw hand before coming here.
Catherine blinked hard at her brother and said, "Apologize, my stupid brother."
She was tired.
After all, he is her own brother. Although Catherine is very harsh to David and looks like she wishes her father would chop him up, her brother is already so stupid. If she doesn't care about him more, she will be really stupid to death.
Do you really think Catherine is teasing?
That was after she and Emilia had discussed it, they planned to use this method to get Catherine out of the game, and then use her own advantage to put Lake out of power.
Lake was well aware of this.
