Chapter 213
"To meet a mere human, you took so long to return. Did you fall into a ditch?"
Buchuan Wa Zi said, hurling his wine glass viciously in the direction of the vampire.
The vampire jumped in fright and managed to dodge.
The wine glass shattered upon hitting the ground, splattering red wine everywhere.
"My lord, please calm down!" the vampire said, trembling with fear. "It wasn't that I wanted to return so late, but that human never showed up. I waited for him until now!"
"What did you say?" Buchuan Wa Zi straightened up abruptly, his face darkening ominously. "He never appeared?"
"Yes."
Buchuan Wa Zi clenched his fingers and gritted his teeth. "That damned human, he dares to deceive me! Hah, what a bold move. Does he think I would let him off so easily? Spread the word: any vampire in this territory who encounters that human with a birthmark on his forehead is to kill him on sight!"
"Yes, sir!"
At that moment, however, Buchuan Wa Zi suddenly heard a mocking laugh.
He turned his head and saw Buchuan Kuzi.
"What are you laughing at?" Buchuan Wa Zi asked coldly.
"I'm just wondering, have you considered that it might not be that the human deceived you, but rather... that the hotel owner discovered his betrayal?" Buchuan Kuzi said slowly.
Upon hearing this, Buchuan Wa Zi's expression grew even more grim.
"If he didn't confess, how would the hotel owner know?"
"That's beyond me." Buchuan Kuzi shrugged. "But think about it, that hotel is so powerful... uncovering a traitor wouldn't be difficult, would it?"
"Then what do you suggest we do?" Buchuan Wa Zi roared in anger. "If this continues, vampires might really not be a match for humans!"
"That's your problem to figure out." Buchuan Kuzi sneered. "If you can't come up with a solution... heh, you might lose your position as the Eastern District leader. And then, who do you think would take your place?"
With that, Buchuan Kuzi swaggered away.
Buchuan Wa Zi wanted nothing more than to tear him apart right then and there.
But Buchuan Kuzi was of noble blood and couldn't be touched lightly, or it would cause trouble with the higher-ups.
And now was not the time for internal strife. The key was to come up with another plan to deal with that hotel...
...
Gu Wanyin's Lightning Ability had been upgraded to level three.
She found a secluded spot to test it out.
Indeed, the lightning she could now unleash was far more powerful than before.
Gu Wanyin was quite pleased with this.
At that moment, the system issued her a new task.
"Ding! New task unlocked: Sell thirty snack mystery boxes. Task reward: Unlock ten super fertile lands; unlock unlimited bumper cars; upgrade Gu Wanyin's Lightning Ability to level four."
Aliali: 6754d302bd5e46c308a67379"Unlimited bumper cars? Like the ones in amusement parks?" Gu Wanyin wondered. "At a time like this, who would have the heart to play bumper cars?"
After all, this world lacked ability users, and vampires were far stronger than the zombies of the previous world.
Many vampires still roamed outside.
So the humans in this world faced an even more precarious situation.
Most people had no interest in entertainment.
"Those aren't just ordinary bumper cars, hehe. Once the task is completed and the rewards unlocked, you'll find out."
Gu Wanyin was genuinely curious.
As for this task, it wasn't difficult.
She simply took out five snack mystery boxes from the vending machine.
Then, she, Bai Shuwen, Old Six, Fugui, and Mengmeng each took one and sat in the hotel lobby's lounge area to eat.
