An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 2102

"Thanks, Mr. Bailey," Jasper said with a triumphant chuckle. He was blissfully ignorant of the imminent danger lurking ahead.

The influential figures from various powerful nations watched in silence. They showed no interest in intervening as they were only there for the spectacle. After all, the outcome didn't concern them.

"Heh... Looks like I'll have a feast tonight!" Willem smirked wickedly.

His body quivered as each arrow lodged in his back dislodged and fell to the ground. His bloody wounds began to heal rapidly.

"Hmph! Not even all those arrows were enough to kill you. It seems like you're quite a tough monster!" Jasper's expression turned fierce as he narrowed his eyes at Willem.

Despite being pierced through the chest and riddled with arrows from behind, Willem appeared unscathed except for a few drops of blood. His resilience surpassed even that of a cockroach.

"Did no one tell you I'm immortal?" Willem said, his fingernails extending further.

"Ha! 'Immortal' my foot!" Jasper jeered.

He added, "I see right through you. You're just a vampire with all your fancy powers and quick healing. I'll take you down once I find your weak spot!"

Despite never encountering one himself, Jasper had heard plenty about Streuquan vampires. Witnessing Willem's transformation into a bat and surviving a seemingly fatal wound only fueled his suspicions.

After all, vampires were notorious for their vulnerabilities—sunlight, fire, and silver objects. Fortunately, Jasper's troops were armed with silver-tipped spears, perfect for dealing with such monsters.

"Oh really? Then come on. Give me your best shot!" Willem taunted, spreading his arms in mock invitation.

"Swap weapons!" Jasper commanded, tossing aside his golden spear in favor of a silver one. Armed with the gleaming silver weapon, he was confident he could defeat Willem unassisted.
