This is also what Lake feels very suspicious about.
One is the wolf leader.
One is Kraven, who became the second-in-command of the vampires with your cooperation.
If the two of them work together, they may not be able to wipe out the entire vampire clan, but Marcus and Victor who are sleeping in the manor can be easily killed.
After Marcus and Victor woke up, they needed blood transfusions to recover.
You said you couldn't beat Marcus and Victor in their prime, but how could you not beat Marcus and Victor who had just woken up and whose strength was only one tenth of what it was?
Lucian dared to confront the vampires even with the presence of the three elders. He dared to do so when he was at his peak. How come he is getting worse as he gets older?
Lake said this with some curiosity: "So, can you explain to me, even if Kraven disagrees, he will have to do it if you threaten him with your own identity."
Everything Kraven has today was earned through a lie.
If Lucian used this as a threat, apart from anything else, if Kraven, the second-in-command, sent most of the people in the manor out, Lucian would undoubtedly succeed by sending out all the wolf troops and cooperating inside and outside.
Lucian's eyes flickered.
Lake raised his eyebrows, thinking of something. "I see, I see. You and Kraven have already made a plan. The day after tomorrow, by killing Emilia, you will make Kraven send out a large army, and then you will lead your wolf cubs to attack the manor."
I remembered it wrong.
Lake smiled and shook his head, then looked at Lucian. "You take revenge, and Kraven can become the new leader of the vampires after the three elders are all dead. Sorry, I just remembered it wrong."
Admit your mistakes when you are wrong.
Lake always means what he says.
Lucian's eyes flickered as he said in a deep voice, "What if I want Emilia's life too?"
Emilia was also present at the time.
Lucian hated Emilia as much as Marcus, who gave the order, and Victor, who stood by and watched.
Lake smiled coldly: "Then you are seeking death."
Lucian's green eyes flickered, and his lips parted slightly, as if he was about to show his teeth to Lake.
Lake sneered: "Why, you're planning to fight me? Fine, don't think that just because I need you to kill Marcus and Victor, you're that important. Without you, I can still find someone else to do it."
Said.
A golden mini dragon emerged behind Lake, baring its fangs and claws, looking very arrogant.
Lucian retracted his exposed fangs, looked at Lake, and pointed at Michael who was sleeping beside him: "Okay, I promise you, give me this human."
Lake made a gesture of invitation.
Selina, who had been in shock while listening to their conversation, quickly came to her senses. She grabbed the unconscious Michael and ran to the side: "No."
Selina felt as if a ten-level wave was rising in her heart.
Oh my god.
She heard everything.
Emilia's husband and Lucian, a mortal enemy of the vampires who should have been dead, actually said to her face that he would kill Marcus and Victor.
What does it mean?
Should Emilia continue to rule?
After all, Selena is Victor's adopted daughter, and to be fair, Victor raised Selena as his own daughter, at least that's how Selena feels.
Someone is planning to kill Victor while he is sleeping. How can Selena not be shocked?
no.
I'm going to go back and wake up my adoptive father and tell him that Emilia plans to kill them and take over the world.
Selena thought about it and prepared to pull Michael away quickly.
but.
Boom boom boom!
One werewolf after another appeared around Selina, baring their teeth and staring at Selina and Michael in her hand with murderous eyes.
Lucian laughed and looked at Lake: "It seems that your people have betrayed you."
Lake's face was expressionless: "Your IQ is indeed worrying. I seriously doubt whether you can live up to my trust. How can you think that Serena is mine?"
Lucian was silent for a moment. "So, I killed her to prevent her from breaking our agreement. Is that okay with you?"
Lake's lips curled up. He didn't answer Lucian, but looked directly at Serena. "Serena, do you remember what I just said to that werewolf? If I kill him, can I still find someone to help me do this?"
Selina took a deep breath and looked at Lake who was speaking calmly: "The Third Elder has been in power for a hundred years. This is an iron rule."
Lake nodded.
There is no doubt about this system. Since it has been able to operate for hundreds of years, it shows that this system is feasible to a certain extent.
But that's not what Lake wanted to say.
Lake looked directly at Serena: "If I tell you that your entire family was killed by Victor, will you still stick to what you said?"
"What?"
"If you don't believe me, ask him."
Lake pointed at Lucian.
Lucian, who was about to order the killing of Serena, blinked when he saw the direction of Lake's finger and pointed at himself with a silly look like a husky: "Me?"
Why don't I remember this myself?
Selina glanced at the silly Lucian, then looked at Lake expressionlessly: "You are lying to me."
Lake laughed and said, "I do like to lie sometimes, but when it comes to serious matters, I don't like lying. If I were lying to you, why would I let you follow me and not mind you listening at all?"
Serena was silent.
Lake laughed and told the story from long ago again.
A long, long time ago.
William, the originator of the werewolf, was caught. Victor's opinion at the time was to kill him directly, but Marcus disagreed. After all, no matter how beastly his brother was, he was still his brother. So in the end, the three of them decided to imprison William the werewolf.
Imprisoning a werewolf progenitor is no easy task.
After discussing with Victor and Emilia, Marcus planned to build a prison for William that could imprison him forever, and the mission of this prison fell on Selena's family today.
A long time passed.
The prison was finally built. To prevent William from escaping, Marcus crafted a set of prison keys. These keys consisted of two copper plates, one large and one small. One plate was placed in Victor's stomach, while the other was carried by the ruling elder.
Only when these two copper plates, one large and one small, are combined together can the prison where William is imprisoned be opened. Without these two copper plates, it is absolutely impossible to open it.
Victor was in power at the time, so the key was in Victor's hand. Victor, who doted on his daughter, wore the key around his daughter Sonya's neck as a decoration.
after.
It was about Lucian, the werewolf who was enslaved by vampires at that time, wanting freedom.
Speaking of this.
Lake looked at Lucian and said, "Then take out your key, or she will think I'm making it up."
Lucian's expression was the same as Serena's. He looked at Lake with deep shock and confusion: "Is this how you know all this?"
The little cotton-padded jacket twinkled with little stars and looked at Lake with admiration.
Daddy is awesome.
Lucian lowered his head and took out the necklace that fell from his wife's body after he drove away the vampire. It was also the key to the prison.
Lake's expression was indifferent: "I know a lot of things. To be honest, the reason why Serena's family was killed was actually because you got this key."
Lucian and Serena looked at each other.
Lake shook his head and said, "Victor lost a key and was worried that William would be released, so he killed Serena's entire family. During the massacre, Victor had a ulterior motive. He spared the young Serena and adopted her. Then, he repeatedly told Serena that the wolf tribe and you are irreconcilable."
Selena's heart was beating fast.
Lake rubbed his chin. "I know the logic seems ridiculous, but it's the truth. As for what Victor was thinking when he killed your entire family, I still don't understand. Besides, he killed them all, but he left you behind. I can only say that after his daughter died, Victor took his anger out on your family. Then, after seeing you, he probably thought you looked a lot like his daughter when she was little, so he used that as an excuse to adopt you."
This explanation can explain why Victor put down his knife after killing the last one.
but...
Lake really couldn't understand why Lucian, after getting the key to the prison, killed the entire family of the prison's builder.
This makes no sense at all.
What if you say this is a belated burial?
This makes sense, but William had already been imprisoned at that time. Besides, that was not a tomb, and you are not an Oriental. Besides, there was no reason for you to be buried alive with the dead late.
but...
Regardless of his own affairs, Lake thought about it for a while, but gave up when he couldn't figure it out.
Lake looked at Serena, who was brainstorming with her head down and eyes flashing rapidly, and said, "I've finished talking. Tell me, are you still going to stand on the side of Victor, the man who killed your family's enemy?"
Selina lowered her head, thoughts racing in her mind.
this...
She found it hard to accept.
Selina looked up at Lake, trying hard to study the expression on his face, trying to find a flaw to prove that Lake's words were a lie.
but.
Serena finally gave up.
She couldn't see any trace of lying on Lake's face. There were only two reasons for this: either Lake was too good at lying, or Lake was telling the truth.
Although Selena didn't want to believe it, she knew that the second possibility was more likely.
reason?
A strong man like Lake would not bother to lie.
Lake's aura, which was like the sun, was enough to turn her into ashes.
