An Understated Dominance (Dustin Rhys)

“Corpse?” Bill scoffed dismissively.

He continued, “Father, aren’t you exaggerating? Vampires are immortal. Even the most skilled martial artists from Dragonmarsh wouldn’t be able to kill me.”

He didn’t mention that the Holy Sovereign Church’s holy laws, while effective against vampires, wouldn’t be enough to stop him. Even Jeremiah wouldn’t be able to catch him if he chose to escape.

“Mr. Wolfe, your vampire gene is impressive, but you’re not immortal. If you were, the Coven of Blood Eclipse wouldn’t be a vassal of the Hall of Gods, “Jeremiah said calmly.

He continued, “Also, don’t underestimate Dragonmarsh’s martial artists. We’ve clashed with them multiple times over the years and haven’t come out on top. If you keep being arrogant and complacent, you’re bound to face consequences.”

Bill, being an inexperienced aristocrat, had no idea how dangerous Dragonmarsh could be. His earlier encounter with a group of young elites had been relatively easy by comparison.

However, if they provoked the older, more formidable figures, their chances of escaping alive would be slim.

“Father, I hope you’re not afraid of those Dragonmarsh martial artists. Seems like your title as ‘The Dust of Angel’ isn’t as impressive as the legends say,” Bill said with a sneer.

As an aristocratic vampire, he naturally looked down on human martial artists. He had expected Jeremiah to be on the same page as him. But instead, he discovered that Jeremiah was actually a coward and ran away from a handful of young martial artists. It was a real letdown for him.
