Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge-Chapter 268 A Great Mess
[ Vampire Headquarters: Scarlet Heart Inc. ] ๐๐eewe๐๐๐๐๐๐.co๐ฎ
Kira and Raizel were roaming around the Scarlet Heart Inc. They went to the underground facility. In there, Kira saw the army of vampiresโ the bloodsucker beasts who were turned into vampires. They were not pureblood. Those armies were once humans, werewolves, and witches.
"How many soldiers do you have here?" Kira asked Raizel, his brows drawn together in a frown. He didn't like what they did, creating an army to become the frontliners during their war.
"Thousands of them." Raizel shortly answered. He glanced at Kira, noticing the displeasure on his face. He was unhappy. ๐ง๐๐ฒ๐ฆ๐ ๐๐๐ฃo๐ซ๐ฒ๐.๐o๐
"Kira, you can't blame our fellow vampires. We were being hunted by werewolves and witches a thousand years ago. We didn't have a choice but to fight back and build an army to protect our clan." Raizel explained to Kira, justifying their actions of turning other creatures to become one of them.
"I understandโฆ"
After passing by the army's quarters, Raizel brought Kira to their supply. The Scarlet Heart Inc was able to serve its purpose by storing blood supply through its network and connection.
Scarlet Heart Inc was funding several hospitals in different countries in exchange for blood supplies. Because of this intervention, the vampires were able to sustain their lives and strengthen their bodies.
"Ki, if you need some blood, you can come here or bring some to the mansion. I can even send you some supplies, just call me if you need it."
Marceline's face suddenly popped up in his mind. He preferred to drink her blood than these bountiful supplies of blood from different humans.
"No thanks," He simply responded. "By the way, where is Victoria?" he asked, roaming his eyes around the area.
"I don't see her either. She might be on the field right now. Why do you want to see her?" Raizel eyed Kira suspiciously. Was he planning to punish Victoria for what she did to Roland Zhou?
"Nothing. Is there anything more you want me to see here? If noneโฆ I'm going home now. Marceline is not feeling well. I have to be there and take care of her." Kira was still worried about Marceline. He couldn't be at ease knowing that she was poisoned by the vampire bite.
However, he still couldn't get over the revelation that Marceline was indeed a werewolf since she was born.
"She belongs to our clan's mortal enemy. You should stay away from her, Kiโฆ this is for your own good. Just stay here with us. No need to accompany her." Raizel was trying to convince Kira.
'Furthermore, I suspect that she is related to Dominique. She might be the missing werewolf princess,' Raizel added to his thoughts but he didn't dare voice it out loud.
"I made a promise to her. I can't leave her. Let's not talk about this, Rai. Let me do what I have to do. Just do your job." Kira ended the topic right away. He didn't want to argue with Raizel.
Since he was done visiting the vampire headquarters, Kira bade goodbye to Raizel. Marceline was alone in the house. She was sick. He had to take care of her.
Raizel could only sigh in defeat. Kira's decision was firm. He couldn't convince him for now. However, once he found out the proof whether Marceline was related to Silvano or not, he could support his claim and convinced Kira once again to leave that she-wolf!
Kira had just left the Scarlet Heart Inc when Victoria and her two vampire soldiers arrived. Raizel was utterly shocked after seeing Victoria and the two vampires with wounds.
"What happened to them? Where are your other team members?" Raizel asked them in puzzlement.
The three of them had a sullen look on their faces. They felt sad and angry. They lost a lot of comrades tonight.
"Generalโฆ We had an encounter with the Werewolf King," one vampire soldier responded to Raizel, clenching his fists tightly. "We lost them. Eight of them were killed during the fight."
"What?!! You should have avoided him! Why did you fight him?! We already have a plan on how we will destroy him! Are you not thinking?!" Raizel turned to Victoria with his angry eyes. "Because of your reckless decisions, we lost our comrades!"
Victoria didn't say a word. She felt guilty as well. But she didn't anticipate this. She didn't plan this to fight the werewolf king. It just so happened that he was there when they came to eliminate Marceline Zhou, the white werewolf.
"What have you done this time, Victoria?" Raizel could tell that she was acknowledging her fault, that's why she didn't refute his words.
The two vampire soldiers kept their mouths shut. It seemed that Raizel had no idea about tonight's mission. Victoria hid this from him so he would certainly get mad at them once he found out.
"He is protecting herโฆ the white wolf. The Werewolf King might have known about Marceline's real identity." Victoria absentmindedly said, still recalling the scene that transpired in the Zhou Ancestral Mansion.
Raizel's frown deepened upon hearing that. "What do you mean?"
The two vampire soldiers exchanged glances with one another, then darted their gazes back and forth between Raizel and Victoria.
"We were supposed to finish her off butโฆ the Werewolf King came to save her."
Raizel was utterly astounded when he heard that. 'No Way! Is sheโฆ' He couldn't believe that Dominique came to save Marceline. But he was more shocked when he learned that Victoria tried to kill Marceline Zhou. Kira had warned him already!
*****
Meanwhile, Kira returned home. Upon entering the gate, Kira noticed the strange behavior of the guards. They were sound asleep.
Then not too long when his nose caught a scent of bloodโ various blood! His eyes widened, looking up at Marceline's bedroom.
With his vampiric speed, Kira proceeded to her room only to be surprised by the unsightly scene! Dead bodies of vampires and their blood were scattered in the room. Marceline was long gone.
"What the hell happened here???"
