Chapter 70 69. True unity must be built on blood, either his or yours! 【960】

(Additional update for the ‘Frostfang Claw’ brothers [4/5])

Murphy left the house.

He took the bottle of "Day Potion" given to him by Jed, which is specially used to weaken vampires, and swore to join Jed's group fighting for the final power of the Blood Vulture Clan.

However, Jed didn't really trust him, and Murphy could feel that the guy was just treating him as a chess piece and using his future power to trick him into betraying his current friends.

This is quite normal.

Especially in traditional vampire society, it is absolutely impossible for one vampire to completely trust another vampire.

What flows in their veins is not low-level stuff like blood, but a highly toxic substance formed by mixing conspiracy and malice in proportion and fermenting in the night.

If you touch it, you will die, and the blood will seal your throat.

Tens of minutes after Murphy left, the door of the house was pushed open again.

This time it was Maxim who walked in.

The latter covered his eyes and face with his hood and held a bottle and seven goblets in his hands.

It is not easy to find these flashy things in the current Cadman City. Fortunately, Lord Murphy's warriors are talented enough in searching, and Miriam also has a lot of supplies stored there.

"Sir, let's have a drink."

Maxim poured the crimson liquid in the bottle into the cup and handed it to Jed. The weak vampire moved his throat and took it, unable to maintain the hypocritical etiquette.

At this moment, like a vulgar greedy man, he raised his head and drank the blood in one gulp like fine wine.

"Well"

When the blood enters the mouth, it turns into real power and merges into the thirsty body, causing Jade to let out a long moan, just like drinking jade liquid and nectar makes the aging and wrinkles on the face visible to the naked eye.

It's just that the gray hair can never return to its original dark color.

Injury to the blood essence is not an injury that vampires can recover from in a short time, just like men who unfortunately suffer from kidney disease.

Being anxious won't solve the problem!

This kind of thing that hurts the origin has to be healed slowly.

"You didn't tell Murphy that I had woken up a long time ago. It seems that you are still loyal, Maxim."

Jade whispered.

The voice was no longer as dry as before and seemed to have the viciousness and gloominess that a vampire should have. Maxim, who lowered his head, did not answer, but poured him another glass like a servant and took it from the virgin in the camp.

of sweet blood, and offered it to Jed with both hands again.

"He trusts you."

This time Jed was not as rude as before.

He seemed to have regained the manners expected of a midnight noble, gently shaking the sweet thing in his hand, and observing Maxim's expression through the waves of blood.

He said:

"He also told me something about you, hoping that I could give you to him as a gift. He really thinks highly of you.

but me

I also suddenly realized that I had made a mistake.

Just as I failed to discover Murphy's hidden talent, I also failed to discover that there is an outstanding individual like you among my servants. So, Maxim, are you willing to follow Murphy?"

"I am your servant."

Maxim said in a deep voice:

"I still owe you a life. This is a favor that cannot be forgotten. I must repay it with this life!"

"good!"

This answer made Jed very satisfied.

Maxim did not hide his appreciation for Murphy and his willingness to follow him, but he also expressed his thoughts honestly. A vampire who knows the human heart well knows that this kind of entanglement is the normal state of fragile creatures like humans.

The more determined or loyal Maxim is, the more doubtful he will be.

"Then, I need you to do one last thing for me. In the name of a servant, this is a certain ritual that must be performed in order to gain freedom."

Jed took a small sip of blood, flicked his fingers, and a familiar bottle of daytime potion fell into Maxim's hand.

He said:

"Murphy is an outstanding junior. I guess he agreed to cooperate with me just to stabilize me. What he expected was to get offers from both sides before selling.

If it were me, I would do the same.

But now the conditions don't allow it, I have to 'help' him make up his mind. You go and put this medicine into Ms. Tris's drink, and then hide her.

Don't hurt her until it's over.

I don't need you involved in this, Maxim.

I just need Murphy to feel a little bit of pressure, and when I'm done with him, you get what you want, and we, we all get what we want."

Maxim nodded.

He seemed unable to understand, and finally asked:

"My lord, you clearly have the advantage. Femis is just a lone person. She is only at the Black Iron level. Any of your companions can kill her.

Why do you still have to”

"This is not what you should know, Maxim. You are not one of us yet. The secrets of the night are not something humans can pry into!"

Jed glanced at the servant indifferently.

The latter immediately bent down and left. Before leaving, Maxim said to him:

"I have been selecting 'food' for you that suits your taste and will deliver it to you early tomorrow morning. Please be patient for now."

"Um."

Jed watched Maxim leave. After the room became quiet again, he stood up with his heavy body, picked up the blood bottle Maxim sent, and selected from the dozen children lying on the ground behind him.

After a while, the blood was finally poured on a tall heir.

The latter soon came to life under the nourishment of blood, and then heard Jed whispering in the dark:

"Arthur, my best son, go! Watch Maxim, I remember that you are very familiar with him. If he completes my instructions, you will take over the care of Mrs. Tracey and let him return to me.

Return here.

But if he did something he shouldn't have done

Get rid of him!"

——

Maxim walked on the ashes-covered ground of Cadman City.

He was annoyed that he was still too upright and failed to ask the source of Jed's concerns about Miss Femis.

He didn't believe that Jed's decision to ask Mr. Murphy to execute the eldest lady was harmless in itself. The cunning old man must have wanted Mr. Murphy to bear the terrible guilt.

Perhaps there are other more dangerous factors.

He had to find a way to obtain more benefits for Mr. Murphy in this unexpected incident.

Unfortunately, his brain was really not suitable for these thoughts. After thinking for a few minutes, he felt like his head was going to explode. At this moment, Maxim suddenly stopped and looked left and right.

He heard a very artificial chirping sound, and then discovered that in the dark alley ahead, Lord Murphy's warrior Miss Yanghen was gesturing to him to let him pass.

After confirming that he was not being followed, he quickly stepped forward.

"Jade asked me to poison Lady Tris!"

He whispered to Yang Hen:

"Tell Mr. Murphy the news immediately. Jade will use Mrs. Tracey to force him to submit. Mrs. Tracey must be transferred immediately."

"You exposed yourself by doing this!"

Lumina is so smart, she understood it as soon as her little head turned, and she whispered:

"I'm here to convey Sir Murphy's instructions. Sir Murphy said that he trusts all judgments you make and allows you to move freely until the matter is over. Do not contact him to avoid dragging you into danger.

He also said that you don't have to worry about Jade, as long as you protect Mrs. Tracey.

This is an opportunity to pick you out."

Lumina admired the loyal blood servant warrior in front of her. She said to Maxim:

"You should take advantage of the situation to take Mrs. Murphy's weakness away from the whirlpool of this family conspiracy, and don't let her fall into the hands of Jed, who doesn't look like a good person at first glance."

"This is not enough."

Maxim shook his head and said:

"Mr. Murphy is under too much pressure. Jade and his accomplices are very powerful. I have to think, maybe you guys who are inconspicuous are more suitable.
