Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 3113

A casket was positioned in the luxurious room.

The casket was opened as the flickering candlelight showered on it, giving the grand room a mysterious and eerie air.

A balding elderly man in a black suit was sitting on a chair while holding a wine glass in his hand. His skin was sagging, and the bags under his eyes were exceptionally swollen.

The wine glass was half-filled with red fluid, and there was a faint scent of blood in the air.

Lyanna knocked on the door before leading Max in and uttering softly, “Patriarch Herod, Max is here.”

The senile Herod merely sat there without giving any response, as if he didn't hear Lyanna or he was deep in thought.

Lyanna turned around to look at Max, signaling him to speak up.

With that, Max hurried forward and placed his left hand on his chest before bowing slightly and saying, “I'm here upon your summon and am at your service, Patriarch Herod.”

Herod came back to his senses and forced his droopy eyes open with difficulty. “Max, your plan failed,” he uttered softly.

Although Max's power was in no way comparable to Herod's, he remained calm and collected when facing the Patriarch's questioning. “Yes, something unexpected happened. My plan was sabotaged by Nathan's men and people from the Curia as soon as it began, rendering it unsuccessful. I've been exposed as well, and I lost my position as the admiral of Ariarica. There's no place for me in human society,” he responded in a deep voice.

Herod slowly said, “I'm surprised that an elite like Nathan exists among humans. Do you have anything you'd like to say about the failure of your plan this time?”

Max got a little nervous when he heard that.

He was able to advance in ranks and become the fourteenth vampire prince because he confidently promised that he could lead the vampires' uprising, enabling the vampires to overturn humans and become the new rulers of Earth.

Herod held Max in high regard because of how ambitious the latter was.
