Chapter 220

Awoo!

One silver-white wolf after another lifted their heads, facing the moon hanging in the night sky, and released resounding howls.

Sayonaki led a group of white wolves. He glanced at Aria, then directly ignored the kneeling Riko on the ground, fixing his gaze on Fang Li.

At this moment, Sayonakis perfectly poised smile finally transformed.

It morphed into an evil-looking smirk.

Immediately, Sayonaki spoke, How unpleasant.

This unexpected remark left Aria stunned.

Fang Li, however, didnt say anything; he just stared at Sayonaki.

Thats the look, Sayonaki said, then shook his head shortly after. No, it should be about you as a person. Its as if your existence itself is a mistake, and its really quite displeasing.

Honestly, Ive never felt such intense aversion toward anyone before, Sayonaki said in a tone that sounded both helpless and ironic. But for some reason, I feel an extreme aversion to you. Its so strong that I cant allow your existence. Why is that?

What What are you even talking about? Aria couldnt help but take a step forward.

However, Fang Li stopped her, signaling with his eyes for her to hold off on speaking for now.

Soon, Fang Li s.h.i.+fted his gaze to Sayonakis form and directly asked, Who are you, exactly?

Me? Sayonaki shrugged with a seemingly playful tone. He pointed towards the kneeling Riko on the ground and said, If I have to say something, then that would be the master of that b.i.t.c.h over there.

You! Riko struggled to raise her head and glared angrily at Sayonaki.

However, Fang Li sensed something keenly.

In Rikos enraged eyes, there was a subtle mix of astonishment and fear, triggered by the term b.i.t.c.h.

This emotion seemed to amuse Sayonaki, evident by the delighted smile that formed on his face.

Honestly, youve disappointed me greatly, Miss Fourth-generation. Sayonaki sighed, I thought even if you couldnt do much with the Holmes familys flawed item, you shouldve at least been able to expose some vulnerabilities in that unfathomable mystery of a guy. Thats why I had a tiny bit of expectation, an expectation I shouldnt have had, and came aboard this s.h.i.+p. But it turns out youre just a useless waste. Youre better off back in your cage.

Back in the cage Rikos body started to tremble, and she stammered, Could it be Could it be that youre

By the way, youve never seen me in this form before, Sayonaki put on a show of realization, then smiled, But thats fine. I dont have any expectations for you anymore. Later, Ill help you remember. Ill make you recall the state of despair that you were once in.

However, before that, you will obediently stay there. Ill deal with this unpleasant fellow first, and then Ill put the Holmes over there in the cage with you.

From Sayonakis tone, it was clear that he didnt view Riko as a human being.

As he had said, to Sayonaki, Riko was just a creature no different from a female dog.

A humans worth is determined by their genes. Humans lacking excellent genes, no matter how hard they try, will soon reach their limits. Sayonaki p.r.o.nounced as if he were reciting an ultimate truth, Fourth-generation Lupin, you havent inherited any of your ancestors advantages genetically. From a genetic standpoint, youre a useless waste. However, you still possess a superior bloodline. So, at the very least, youll remain in your cage, enjoying the privilege of being used to produce superior specimens in the future.

Under Sayonakis unbearable speech, Riko seemed to have realized something. She held her body and trembled desperately.

What Whats going on? Aria really didnt know how to react.

Fang Li, however, recalled Rikos words just now.

For freedom.

Fang Li could discern that this statement carried no falsehood.

In other words, Riko was genuinely obsessed with defeating Aria to prove she could surpa.s.s her great-grandfather, all for the sake of obtaining freedom.

In this context, combined with Sayonakis words and Rikos evident fear of him, Fang Li finally reached a daring conjecture.

It was likely that Riko had truly lost her freedom, been kept imprisoned in a cage, and treated no better than a female dog.

And the person responsible was Sayonaki.

No.

That wasnt quite right.

More accurately, it was the monster hidden beneath Sayonakis facade.

Youre Vlad

In the tremulous voice of fear emanating from Riko, Aria was the first to react.

Aria widened her eyes slightly, and her gun was aimed at Sayonaki as she exclaimed, So, youre Vlad after all!

Seeing this, Fang Li immediately asked, Do you know him?

Of course I do. Hes one of the criminals responsible for my mothers unjust suffering. Aria answered without hesitation, Hes the second-in-command of I-U, the most influential person after the leader. Hes known as Vlad of the Endless Sin!

However, as Arias words fell, Sayonaki also spoke.

Unfortunately, Im not Vlad. To be more precise, Im not yet Vlad.

Not yet Vlad? Aria was puzzled.

Then let me give you all a lesson, Sayonaki said with a smirk.

In fact, there used to be a species in this world that could modify their genes through bloodsucking, gaining evolutionary traits through it. That species is known as vampires.

However, aimless bloodsucking led to the near-extinction of vampires. Only one vampire gained human-like intelligence due to consuming human blood. This vampire strategically consumed the blood of various creatures to evolve into a powerful being, ultimately surviving.

To preserve intelligence, this vampire had to consistently drink human blood, leading to human genes continually rewriting themselves in its body.

Finally, the vampires true form was hidden by its human sh.e.l.l. Only when this sh.e.l.ls mind/energy produced a strong excitement that led to extensive neural transmission substance secretion would the vampire reveal itself.

With that, Sayonakis smile gradually turned into a sinister expression, And I am that human sh.e.l.l.
