North Country Club…
The club had a spacious bar at the center . The fairly dull environment had crimson red lights on the ground, acting like a layer of glowing red carpet .
The bar had a Western style, with the head of a deer hanging above the wall, which was painted with lots of religious patterns . A few silver glasses and cutlery were ready at the end of the bar . Even the bartender was a fairly handsome Westerner .
“What drink would you like?” asked the bartender inside the bar .
“Marina, not too full . I’ve got a better drink to enjoy later,” said a pale-faced customer .
The customer emptied the drink into his throat quickly, without leaving a single drop behind, as if he were trying to boost his courage for whatever he was planning to do later .
“Asshole, who’s trying to mess with me? If I knew the kid was the only person there, I would’ve killed him on the spot . They shouldn’t have seen my face . This is unacceptable! Never have I let prey escape from my palm, and Liu Ru won’t be an exception, either!” murmured the pale-faced man .
The man did not notice a harmless looking Little Loli was sitting not far away from the bar . She was drinking a glass of juice while secretly observing the man .
The place was a club for the rich . There were a few residential areas nearby with mansions, thus occasionally, some of the rich residents would bring their kids to the club . As such, it was not strange to see a kid hanging out in the hall .
The Little Loli was holding a phone in her hand . She seemed to be talking with someone .
“Hey little gorgeous, why are you here on your own?” asked a well-groomed middle-aged man with a smile .
Lingling raised her head, and her eyes had an innocent look instead of her usual intelligent gaze . She pouted and said grumblingly, “I hate learning Magic . There’s an endless amount of questions to answer every day . Why can the adults come here and drink, while we kids have to learn those boring topics? I want to drink too, but that irritating foreigner doesn’t let me order one . ”
The middle-aged man burst into laughter, who could not respond to Lingling’s interesting remark at first . He replied after a while, “Kids who don’t listen to adults are naughty . How about this, I haven’t drunk from this glass of wine which I just ordered . I’ll let you take a sip, and you’ll understand how bad the taste it has no matter how expensive the wine is . ”
Lingling nodded with the same naive look .
After the middle-aged man left, Lingling glanced back at the pale-faced man at the bar . To her annoyance, the guy had already left without her noticing .
Lingling cursed in her heart, “Goddammit strange uncle, you’ve ruined my plan . ”
She did not manage to get a clear look at the vampire’s face . Strangely, the vampire’s face seemed to have an automatic censoring functionality . Every time she tried to look at his face, a cloudy mist would be shrouding his face . If she could get a clear look, she could easily track the vampire down .
On a side note, since he was a regular visitor here, he must be one of the rich people living in this residential area .
“Come, I’ll give you just a sip,” the middle-aged man returned with a smile, having switched the glass of wine into a small cup .
“Uncle, do you know the guy at the bar?” asked Lingling .
“Why are you asking?” said the well-groomed man .
“I heard that girls always come to the bar to hook up with guys . I want to do that, too,” said Lingling .
“Why him? Am I not a man too? Besides, you’re the most interesting little girl I’ve ever seen,” the middle-aged man chuckled .
“You’re right, so do you know him?” asked Lingling .
The middle-aged man’s eyes which were reflecting the light from the bar stared at Lingling, as if he were trying to read her mind . However, all he could see was an innocent, determined expression .
A moment later, he smilingly shook his head, “He looks familiar, but I don’t know who he is . ”
“Such a pity, I want to be friends with him,” said Lingling .
The middle-aged man chuckled again, who said to Lingling, “He might not be interested in young girls like you . He must be interested in mature girls, instead of a little girl who came to an adults’ club and vented her spleen because she doesn’t like studying . ”
“Alright, I should be going home . My dad will surely come searching for me if he didn’t see me when he went home . Thanks, uncle,” said Lingling, while poking her tongue out .
The middle-aged man glanced at the little cup and asked with his brows raised, “Are you sure you don’t want to take a sip? I’m sure that you won’t want to grow into an adult after having a taste . ”
“Maybe not, I heard that drinking alcohol will make your face red . If my father knew, he would lock me up in my room for a month,” Lingling finished the juice in one go and quickly left the place .
The middle-aged man watched the adorable Lingling exit the bar . His gaze seemed calm on the surface, yet it felt like he was wearing an eerie grin .
——
Soon after Lingling left, the pale-faced man previously at the bar slowly walked up to the middle-aged man and said, “Your taste is still the same after all these years . ”
After saying this, the pale-faced man finished the wine in the glass at one go .
“Such a pity, she was interested in you instead . I’ve roughly sounded her out . She seems like an ordinary little girl . Of course, if I were to see her again, she won’t be ordinary anymore,” the middle-aged man smiled .
“Why did you let her go then? It’s rare to see such a smart little girl,” said the pale-faced man .
“Wasn’t that your fault?! Someone now has their eyes on you, which means that they are aware of our Blood Tribe’s existence . It’s easy for us to be exposed if we do anything extra during this period . We should stay low for a while, and be cautious with everything,” said the middle-aged man .
“There’s nothing to be scared of, I just happened to stumble into a small Magician . Besides, I haven’t done anything yet,” the pale-faced man said arrogantly .
The middle-aged man suddenly wore a sharp gaze and thrust the knife in front of him at the pale-faced man, before stopping in front of the man’s eyes!
“How many times have I told you, not to let your prey die within a short period of time, and not to pick on the same prey repeatedly? You’ve made someone suspicious, which is going to worsen our situation . I’ve already asked the others to stay low, and I don’t want to lose any more members of our family,” the middle-aged man snarled, his face outraged .
