Chapter 290 Am I the weakest son of the vampire progenitor? 27
In the gloomy, blood-stained room, Chi Wei couldn't hold back any longer and collapsed to her knees as soon as she entered. The tray and cup in her hands fell to the ground with a clatter.
He glanced warily at the closed doors and windows before letting out a sigh of relief and collapsing to the ground.
This room was one he had specifically requested from Zhao Zhao; it was very soundproof and far from the crowded central area of the castle.
This place, which ordinary vampires would not set foot in, became his safe haven, and only when he returned here could he occasionally relax.
"Hiss!" Feeling the strange sensation in her body, Chi Wei showed a pained expression.
The ten-day treatment has been effective for seven days, with only three days left...
With that small figure in her mind, she resolutely closed her eyes again.
His father was a top-notch pharmacist in human medicine and also an activist against vampire rule.
Long ago, when his blood was found to be ultrapure, his father injected him with a ten-day potion to prevent him from becoming a vampire servant.
He was so extreme that he wouldn't allow his son's blood to feed the vampires he hated most.
The Ten-Day Potion was a drug that my father secretly developed specifically to deal with vampires. Once a vampire drinks blood infused with this drug, they will fall into a permanent slumber after ten days.
The drug needed a trigger to take effect. At first, he didn't want to hurt that innocent little vampire. He was innocent, kind, positive, and optimistic, very different from other vampires.
However, he recently received news that his entire family had been killed by vampires...
It happened half a month ago, and he only found out a few days ago.
So, feeling utterly hopeless, he began searching for the medicinal ingredient and then took it.
As the father said, the blood poisoning would immediately take effect after taking the medicine, causing him great pain and death. Similarly, the young master who drank his blood would also die.
The vampires killed his entire family, and in return, he didn't want any of them to have an easy time.
Feeling as if she was being pricked with needles, Chi Wei didn't have the strength to clean up the mess and even lay down on the floor and fell asleep.
Soon, in a daze, Chi Wei felt her door being violently forced open by a strange force.
A loud bang startled Chi Wei, who had only been asleep for a short while.
Chi Wei was stunned. She hurriedly got up, but before she could do anything, her thin neck was instantly grabbed by a vampire.
"You despicable and cunning human, what exactly did you do to the blood?!" Damian's fingernails dug deeply into his flesh, and Chi Wei's blood seeped out, falling onto Damian's hand.
"Disgusting blood! Disgusting humans!!"
With a look of disgust, he flung the person off his arm, and Chi Wei was instantly slammed against the wall. The powerful impact made him feel as if his internal organs had shifted.
Oh no, it seems he's been discovered.
He tried to get up, but Damian's leather boots stepped on his hand.
There's a serious problem with your blood.
"If you don't want to die, you'd better tell me the truth!"
Damian's sinister voice rang out from above.
However, he didn't seem to find any specific problems; he only did a general test.
Chi Wei wanted to laugh. Sure enough, he was worthy of his father. Even with high-end testing equipment, the vampires still couldn't fully figure out the specific effects of the Ten-Day Elixir.
Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, his eyes were bloodshot, and he stubbornly looked up at the man with a condescending expression as if he were looking down at an ant.
"You vampires are cruel and inhumane, what? You won't even allow humans to resist?"
Now that he'd been discovered, there was no point in hiding it anymore. He was going to die anyway, and he didn't want to die so pathetically.
"What does that have to do with Hilgaln?! He's so young, he doesn't understand anything! He didn't do anything! You hypocritical human who keeps talking about benevolence and morality, why did you go and harm him?!"
Damian was furious; the thought of his beloved younger brother being hurt made him want to kill him with a single blow.
The pressure on her palms grew heavier and heavier. Even as the pain became unbearable, Chi Wei continued to smile. As she smiled, tears slowly streamed down her face.
"But even though I was forcibly brought into the vampire clan, I never thought of taking revenge on you. What I shouldn't have done was that you vampires brutally killed my whole family!"
“Your father is spouting nonsense and inciting the human race to rebel. He deserves to die.” Damian didn’t even turn his head, and had the vampires waiting behind him drag Chi Wei away for interrogation.
He straightened his sleeves and said disdainfully, "You humans are not worthy of fighting against the vampires."
With that, he turned around resolutely and took the doctor to see Zhao Zhao. He didn't stop for a moment and went straight to Daled's room.
It was midday, the sun was high in the sky, and it was the vampires' sleeping time. With a cold face, he pushed open the lid of Darid's coffin, only to find that inside lay only the doll he had given to Zhaozhao.
Where have those two gone?!
Given Damian's familiarity with Darid, if he wasn't sleeping, he must be handling state affairs. However, how could he possibly be handling state affairs so late at night while taking care of a cub?
Leading a group of vampires, they wandered around the castle for half a day in a flurry, finally finding the sleeping cub in a corner.
A short while later, Darid was found by Damian in another place. Seeing that Darid was still calm and collected, Damian, who had a short temper, immediately stepped forward and punched him.
Caught off guard, Darid was hit. He touched his handsome face and said, "Are you crazy?"
"Don't think that just because you were born a few minutes earlier than me, you're my older brother. How dare you hit me?" Even though he was angry, he was still smiling, but his smile was very sinister and eerie.
Damian rubbed his temples, his head aching. "Stop being ridiculous! Something's happened to little Hill!"
Darid paused slightly, turned to look at the sleeping cub in the vampire soldier's arms, then looked at Damian, rubbing his hands together in anticipation. "I was just playing hide-and-seek with my brother, how did he get into trouble?"
Thinking that this wicked boy was deceiving him, Damian calmly revealed his vampire battle form, ready for a good fight, and then calmly told him everything about Chi Wei.
The moment he finished speaking, Darid frowned and pulled Zhao Zhao into his arms. "To be honest, I've felt something strange about that lowly blood servant several times."
Damian's eyebrow twitched. "Since you sensed something was wrong, why didn't you say so?"
Darid remained silent.
There's not much to say; ultimately, he didn't care enough about the cubs.
Although I gradually grew to like this little guy through our daily interactions, our feelings for him weren't really deep.
However, he found it strange that Damian cared so much about this cub.
Seeing that Darid still had the nerve to look at him, Damian scolded, "You should really pay more attention to your own brother!"
"Don't just stand there, let the doctor examine him!"
Since the prince's safety was at stake, the physician dared not delay and immediately took out instruments to examine Zhao Zhao. What he saw shocked him: "Your Highnesses, the symptoms in Prince Hillgarven's body are very similar to those of the vampire who fell into a deep sleep a month ago."
Deep sleep can be understood as death.
Daled was slightly taken aback.
Damian immediately became alert. "Before that vampire went into slumber, did his blood servants behave any unusually?"
“Indeed, at that time…” The doctor explained the whole story to him in detail. Damian’s heart sank slightly, and he immediately ordered all the vampires in the castle to undergo a physical examination.
He guessed that there were now quite a few people like Chi Wei hiding deep within the castle, plotting revenge.
"Damn it."
Damian's eyes hardened. He glared at the apothecary and roared, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and treat the young prince!"
"This...this..." the doctor stammered, his eyes darting around, "This symptom came on suddenly and is unprecedented. There is currently no way...to treat it..." He had said the same thing a month ago when he diagnosed that vampire.
His voice trailed off as he spoke, and before the two princes could get angry, he quickly added, "However, the young prince shows no signs of falling into a deep sleep. Although the blood of this lowly slave does have an effect on the prince's body, it is not fatal."
Damian noticed the anomaly in time, which saved Zhao Zhao from disaster.
Both princes had identical handsome faces with the same gloomy and ruthless expression. The physician, fearing for his life, quickly made a guarantee.
"Your Highnesses, please don't worry. The Medical Association began researching solutions for this symptom a month ago, and we believe they will reach a conclusion soon."
"At the latest, one month. If there's still no result after one month, well, you bunch of freeloaders, just wait and see!"
It was Darid who spoke, a devilish smile on his face. He was about to carry Zhao Zhao back to their room when Damian stopped him, "You unreliable thing~ Give me little Hill~"
His eyes narrowed slightly, making his ruby-like eyes even deeper. Just as the two were about to fight over it, Zhao Zhao was awakened by the noise and opened her eyes.
Faced with the two people who looked like mirror images, Zhao Zhao was momentarily disoriented. She rubbed her eyes and mumbled sleepily, "How did brother split himself into two..."
"Ha, you little fool..."
"Silly little brother~"
The two smiled again, one with a wicked charm, the other with a gentle one. Zhao Zhao's dazed mind was able to process things a little better. "Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother?"
Seeing this, Darid, unable to resist this quirk, deliberately imitated Damian's expression, mannerisms, and way of speaking, asking Zhao Zhao, "Little fool~ who is the fifth brother, who is the fourth brother, hmm?"
Zhao Zhao was momentarily confused. Before he could react, the older brother who was talking to him was slapped away.
Damian's eyes flashed with rage. "What time is it? Why are you still arguing about this!"
He had always known that his younger brother was petty.
"Wow! Brother is handsome!" Zhao Zhao made no attempt to hide her praise.
Damian snorted arrogantly, ignoring Darid, and forcefully took Zhao Zhao back to his side.
Walking down the street, he noticed Zhao Zhao staring intently at his face. Without thinking, he blurted out, "Am I the fourth brother or the fifth brother?"
Zhao Zhao: ……
Both of them were stunned for a moment. Damian, realizing his embarrassment, angrily covered Zhao Zhao's eyes, "What are you looking at? You can't even tell the difference? How dare you look at me!"
“Fourth Brother, you’re Fourth Brother!” Zhao Zhao said quickly.
After easily appeasing her fourth brother, he took her to find her eldest sister. The two of them immediately began to whisper secrets about something, leaving Zhao Zhao alone to wait.
He sat on the thick carpeted floor of the hall, holding his fourth brother's doll, and scratched his hands and feet blankly.
In the past few days, Zhao Zhao's body has been experiencing intermittent pain and itching, and the situation is getting worse every day.
When Damian and Evanolin came out of the room next door, they saw Zhao Zhao in this state. The two looked at each other speechlessly. Damian quickly stepped forward and picked him up, unable to help but say, "Look, you've been 'sold out' by someone else."
What did he say earlier? This kid is too naive and doesn't have any tricks up his sleeve. He wasn't watching him closely enough and immediately suffered a loss.
Thinking about the harmful effects of the Blood Servant's blood, Damian almost wanted to kill him immediately.
"What?" Zhao Zhao didn't understand what he meant.
Damian felt helpless and heartbroken. Just as he was about to say something, Evanorein gave him a warning look.
"Sigh." He sighed and patted his head. "It's nothing."
Evanolin approached and said to Zhao Zhao, "You'll stay here with me for the next few days."
"why?"
Damian avoided Zhao Zhao's clear eyes and then explained, "I have things to do, and it's inconvenient to bring you along."
The matter concerning Chi Wei and his group needs to be thoroughly investigated. He wants to see who is the one who is so fearless as to rebel!
In Zhao Zhao's eyes, the thing he said he had to do, something she couldn't bear to see, was probably murder. She instantly grabbed his collar, refusing to let him go, shouting, "I don't care! You have to take me with you wherever you go!"
Even though he was treated so rudely, Damian was not angry. After getting used to Zhao Zhao, he looked at him with a cub-like filter.
The cub's strength was as small as a kitten's, tickling him until his heart melted. For the first time, he smiled normally at Zhao Zhao. "You can't bear to leave me?" he joked.
"Yes, I love Fourth Brother the most! I can't bear to part with Fourth Brother!" This was just a casual remark Zhao Zhao made in order to stay by his side.
His words, though not particularly sincere, were heard by a sincere person and instantly melted Damian's hardened heart.
At that moment, seeing Zhao Zhao's dependent look, Damian really wanted to give in to him.
"cough."
His elder sister's soft cough brought him back to reality. The cub in his arms was taken away by his elder sister, and with it, his heart was taken away as well.
"Little Hill, please continue your treatment with your elder sister. I'll come pick you up as soon as I'm done with my work."
The eldest sister is steady and meticulous, and more importantly, she has a way to slightly suppress the related symptoms that Zhao Zhao is experiencing.
Seeing this, Zhao Zhao finally couldn't hold back anymore and asked sadly, "Brother, are you going to kill someone again?"
Damian was taken aback, but after thinking for a moment, he nodded.
Sure enough.
Zhao Zhao was heartbroken. "Didn't you promise me you wouldn't kill innocent people indiscriminately and that you would implement benevolent policies?"
"You stinky brother! You lied to me again!"
Damian's heart sank when Zhao Zhao yelled at him. He was about to say something nice to coax him when he suddenly remembered the disappointment when the cub said, "You lied to me again."
"I'll come see you again next time..." In the end, he didn't say a word and left without looking back.
The first thing to do is to eliminate these rebels who are still hiding in the shadows before Asher's birthday banquet.
The dignity of the vampire regime is inviolable.
As for the good policies my younger brother mentioned, we'll try them next time. Just think of it as pleasing a child...
