Chapter 197 [Bonus Chapter] Might Cross Paths Again
Vladimir and Natasha rushed Evelyn to Triple W Headquarters. She was bleeding too much. When they arrived, the medical personnel immediately responded to treat her.
Vladimir was still wondering who was the mastermind of the attack. Leaving Natasha and Evelyn in the medical facility, Vladimir dashed into Cedric's office.
Fortunately, Dominique and Serena already went to Silvano's Villa. Vladimir could now confront Cedric about what happened to Evelyn.
He slammed the door open and a loud bang was heard. Cedric raised his head, observing Vladimir in puzzlement.
"Did you ask someone to attack Evelyn?" Vladimir was clenching his fists but he maintained his calm voice. Cedric was still his Alpha. He couldn't offend him.
Cedric just raised his eyebrow. Though he already knew that Kira might be the one who attacked Evelyn, Cedric remained nonchalant about this. He didn't care whether Kira killed Evelyn or not.
"Why do I feel like you are suspecting me?" Cedric didn't hide the annoyance in his voice. He closed his laptop and looked straight into Vladimir's eyes.
There was a moment of silence between the two men. They were both assessing each other's reactions.
Vladimir was the first one who broke the silence. "Evelyn was attacked by a werewolf. She has a lot of claw marks all over her body. I don't think a vampire did this to her."
Cedric narrowed his eyes upon hearing that. "Just because she has claw marks, you are now thinking that I am involved in this incident? Vampire can control our fellow werewolves through mind control ability."
With that, Vladimir lowered his gaze, apologizing to Cedric. He could tell that he was not lying. But something was bugging him. How did Kira find out her hideout and location? He made sure that Kira would never trace Evelyn. Only Cedric and Vladimir knew about her location.
'It's very unlikely for him to find the place in just a short period… Did Cedric reveal Evelyn's hideout to that vampire?' Vladimir was still not satisfied with Cedric's answer.
"Where is she?" Cedric simply asked him. There was no hint of interest in his eyes. He just asked Vladimir for the sake of diverting the topic.
"She's currently being treated in our medical facility. She received severe injuries." Vladimir informed Cedric.
This time Cedric pretended to be worried. "What will happen now? Who will open the portal if our Alpha King and Queen Luna decide to go back to Kingdom Phantasia?!"
"We have no choice but to pass the role and responsibility to their son and daughter, Enrique and Natasha Zhou. It's now the time to reveal our existence to them and do the gatekeeper's sacred ritual."
"How about Marceline Zhou? She has to be a gatekeeper too." Cedric was still thinking of collaborating with Marceline. He didn't give up the idea of getting her.
"NOT HER!" Vladimir objected firmly. "We can't control her. We can't let her become a gatekeeper. She might join forces with the vampires!"
Complicated emotions flashed through Cedric's eyes. He had to admit that Vladimir had a point. It was too risky for them once Marceline would become a gatekeeper.
But little did they know, Marceline would never become a gatekeeper as a werewolf's blood was running in her veins.
"Alright. Then summon Natasha Zhou and Enrique Zhou tomorrow. I will talk to them myself," Cedric gave his order. He sounded like he was dismissing Vladimir already. He didn't want to talk about Evelyn. It was just a waste of time for him.
But Vladimir was still thinking about Evelyn's incident. "If this incident is related to Kira, I think we have to do something against him."
"No! We can't! In the first place, we had an agreement with him that we would never get involved with the Zhou Family's matters. We have to stay out of their business. Dominique is here in the human world. Who knows, that vampire will suddenly approach Dominique and reveal our plan just once we break our agreement with him."
For that reason, Vladimir was not able to refute him. He just swore to himself that he would get his revenge against Kira and the werewolf who attacked Evelyn.
Vladimir was about to leave to check Evelyn's condition when one elite guard of Dominique entered the office. He had a message from Dominique which was to be relayed for them.
"Our Alpha King wants to visit the Zhou Patriarch in the hospital the day after tomorrow. Will you escort him?"
Dominique also heard the news that the Zhou Family was in a chaotic state right now. Both Roland and Ronan Zhou were in the hospital.
Cedric and Vladimir exchanged meaningful glances with one another. They were worried about one thing– Kira meeting Dominique in the hospital. The two should not meet for now. That's what they were both thinking.
"Okay. Got it. I will escort our King," Cedric said, hiding his anxiousness. Kira's presence would always be a threat to them.
After relaying the message, the elite guard immediately left Cedric's office. Cedric and Vladimir grabbed that chance to form a plan to stop Kira from meeting Dominique.
"Call that bloodsucker tomorrow. Tell him I have a proposal for him. You have to make sure that he will not show himself around the hospital during Dominique's visit."
Vladimir could only bob his head. He didn't know if he could control his anger once he saw Kira. But this was also a chance to investigate and find out who was the werewolf who attacked Evelyn.
"Will Serena come and tag along with Dominique during the visit?" Vladimir asked Cedric. If she would not come, there was a possibility that Vladimir would be assigned to entertain and accompany Serena and her guards.
Cedric massaged his temples. He had forgotten about it. If Vladimir would have to stay with Serena then how would he meet Kira?
"Just find a way where you can talk with that bloodsucker secretly while accompanying Serena on her tour around the Golden City," Cedric suggested.
"Okay, Alpha. I got it."
Cedric was thinking that it would be better for Kira to see the Werewolf Queen, rather than the Werewolf King.
