Plundering in the Apocalypse - Chapter 4 True Despair

A conversation with a handsome stranger leaves Ariane chained in a cellar with a strange affliction. She soon discovers that the darkness of the nineteenth century’s Deep South hides many dangers. Mages, wolf shifters and the humans who hunt them play a risky game where to stumble is to die, all under the amused gaze of the apex predators of the supernatural world: vampires.

It is never healthy to attract the gaze of the aristocracy of the night. It takes much to survive in this merciless world, but Ariane will not let that deter her. The southern belle has a bite, and she is willing to learn and to grow in this hostile new world. She will use whatever means necessary to reclaim her freedom, be it guile, charm, or those intriguing new instincts that make blood so delectable.

This is a story of vampires as I believe they should be, with their strengths and weaknesses, with their remnants of humanity and the beast inside. Updates every Friday. Mind the tags.

The old lady said: Our wealthy family pays the most attention to face and image. You are not allowed to say that you have something to do with Wei Nuan outside.

At this, she sneered——

The God of Tea, who is crazily supported by her countless fans, the buildings and shopping malls in several large areas are waiting for rent collection. Isn’t it nice to be a cold and rich woman?

So, she caught a man——

“You won’t suffer a loss if you marry me. If you get divorced in the future, you will be compensated for a small villa of 300 square meters, 20 million.”

After getting married, she discovered that the man who was arrested was actually a big boss. Not only did he not want a divorce, but he also wanted to be a charterer for the rest of his life…
