Salute To The General

Nathan asked, "First question. How did you become stronger?"

Hepburn hesitated before saying, "A mysterious man named Morgon helped me become stronger. As for the method of becoming stronger, I promised him to keep it a secret, so I can't disclose it." Morgon?

Chen Ning frowned. He didn't recall anyone by that name in his memory.

This mysterious person was terrifying for being able to rapidly increase Hepburn's strength several times over, making her just as strong as any prince-level elite among the vampire clan. Nathan really wanted to know what method did Morgon use to make Hepburn so strong.

However, he didn't press on for answers after seeing Hepburn's troubled expression.

He simply asked, "Do you know who Morgon is?"

Hepburn shook her head. "He's quite mysterious. I hardly know anything about him, but he's very strong. I even suspect that his combat abilities are on par with yours, Mr. Cross."

Nathan's frown deepened as he wondered why so many unfamiliar powerhouses suddenly popped up on Earth recently. For example, Shadowbeard and Morgon, whom Hepburn had just mentioned. These guys were once nobodies. How did they all suddenly come out of the woodwork?

Nathan had a vague sense that something was amiss.

He fell silent for a moment, then continued, "All right, let's not talk about this mysterious Morgon for now. The second question is, how did you gain the recognition of the vampire clan and how did you recruit mysterious and powerful members like Shadowbeard and Sinistral under your command?"

Hepburn spoke. "Once I become stronger, I returned to the vampire clan with Lyanna. Lyanna persuaded Max and the other princes to obey me and regard me as their queen. As for Shadowbeard and the others, they came to me willingly. They call themselves the primordial vampires, living in seclusion all this while. Upon learning that the vampires now face a life-and-death predicament, they have come forward to lend their aid and weather this storm together with the rest of the clan." Primordial vampires?

Nathan's doubts deepened even more.

To his knowledge, the vampires did not originally inhabit the Earth. They only sought refuge here when they were being hunted down by the Gods.

However, those vampires who escaped to Earth eventually all perished due to their inability to adapt to the new environment.

Before dying, they had already infected humans with their blood virus, causing humans to turn.

Those afflicted humans, in fact, became the vampires on Earth later on.

Now that a group claiming to be primordial vampires had suddenly emerged, Nathan couldn't help wondering whether they had any connection with the vampires from the Divine Realm.

However, according to the confession of the previously captured Demigod, there were no more vampires in the Divine Realm. The vampires had been wiped out by the Gods, and only a handful of them were being held captive in prison.

Logically speaking, it was unlikely that primordial vampires of the Divine Realm could escape, let alone make it to Earth.

Who exactly is Shadowbeard and these so-called primordial vampires? Where did they come from?

Nathan asked indifferently, "Exactly how many of these primordial vampires, like Shadowbeard, are there?"

Hepburn was momentarily taken aback before she replied honestly, "Several hundred to a thousand, I guess. I never asked for the exact number. Why do you ask?"

Nathan shook his head. "It's nothing.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

My final question is, what's your next move? Slaying heinous human criminals to provide fresh blood for your clan? As your clan expands, this approach will surely become unsustainable soon. Also, humanity won't let you continue this savage slaughter. Have you ever considered that if this continues, the second war between humans and vampires will soon be upon us?"

Hepburn nodded. "I know. In fact, the Curia has already started to expand its forces. They have been gradually engaging in conflicts with us vampires. A full-scale war between the vampires and the Curia is likely to break out soon."

Nathan tried talking some sense into her. "Is this the outcome you desired? Listen to my advice. Take your kin and leave the world of humans. Why not live in seclusion in the deep, remote forests, just like Shadowbeard and the other primordial vampires?"
