Chapter 3528 A Pawn

Hepburn fell silent.

After a long time, she slowly began, "Mr. Cross, I'm going to be completely honest with you. I'm afraid the situation is out of my hands now. The vampires will not agree to withdraw from the human world just like that. The proud vampires will not consent to live in seclusion among the barren mountains, spending each day with gnawing hunger. Primordial vampire elites like Shadowbeard won't agree either. As for the enigmatic Morgon, he won't like that idea, too."

Nathan asked, "What's wrong?"

Sighing sadly, she continued, "I've only just realized that I'm merely a pawn on a chessboard. My destiny is gradually slipping out of my own control."

Nathan's eyebrows were tightly knitted.

He, too, could sense that recently, one or several unseen puppeteers had been subtly and deliberately orchestrating the return of vampires to the human world, intentionally stirring up conflict between vampires and humans. Individuals like Shadowbeard and Morgon as such might all represent a certain power.

Nathan fell into deep thought, remaining silent.
