Meira looked around and gave a small smile. She originally planned to go with her supposed best friend, Aurora but it looked like that damned woman had completely forgotten all about her. She could only look in the direction helplessly and leave with Phoenix and Blood Wraith.
With everyone squared away, there was only Malia, his family members and Erin left. "Anyone else wants to leave?" Damon asked. "Erin, can help you do some power leveling if you want to compensate for the inconvenience." He especially looked at Georgina when he spoke.
But the woman simply scoffed and turned her face, walking away. On her behalf, John apologetically looked at Damon.
Damon just shrugged. He then shifted his attention to Erin who was indifferently standing there and waiting. "Erin, stay here as a guard. Spread your senses and see if anyone needs help."
His parents, and his brother’s family were not hardcore players and they did not care about taking a few days off. Malia was an administrative assistant. Though she could fight a bit, it was not what she wanted to do. She was also very busy with guild management with more and more guild members popping into Blood Domain every minute.
Same with Arya. The little alchemist had already settled near Damon and started analyzing some flowers and plants from around them with a serious expression on her face. Mark was still out somewhere training and Ghost was also missing. The two were more than capable of handling themselves. That was that. With this, he was free to get to his work.
Damon then remembered that there was one other party. The assassin, the Third.
"Are you going to come out or what?" Damon asked the shady guy.
The assassin popped from his stealth with a sheepish smile on his face. "Greetings, Master."
"What are you doing here? I don’t think you are in any danger. I am pretty sure a guy like you could manage to stay hidden as long as you want. So what are you doing here?"
The assassin scratched his head awkwardly. "Master... about that... I tried to follow your example but it did not work out well for me."
Malia who was sitting on the side and tapping away at her system interface rolled her eyes at this response. "My Lord... he is lying to you. He has been busy going around the Blood Hall and harrassing all the vampiresses. I heard that there were some people looking for him."
The Third immediately became flustered. "Hey! Hey! I was not lying. I did indeed follow my Master’s path. Just like you, Master, I also wanted a family for myself and some good wholesome wives to warm my soul.
Damon stared at him.
Malia stared at him.
Even Erin, who rarely reacted to anything, blinked once.
"...Wholesome wives," Damon repeated slowly, like he was trying to confirm he heard correctly.
The Third nodded earnestly. "Yes, Master. You have so many. I thought... why shouldn’t I also seek such warmth? Such companionship? Such.."
"-such stupidity," Malia cut in flatly. "You weren’t seeking wives. You were catcalling elite vampiresses from noble families."
The Third froze like someone had turned him to stone. "T-That is slander."
"It’s recorded," Malia replied. She flicked her wrist, and a floating hologram popped up. It showed The Third leaning over a balcony rail, whispering down at a group of armored vampire women:
"Ladies! Fear not the night, for I am the man who will accompany you through it!"
The vampire women threw knives at him. A lot of knives.
