Chapter 870 Nothing To Worry About

"That's enough." Liam frowned.

He was not really interested in listening to the sleazebag's life story and ambitions. As for what he wanted to know, even Jonathan Hoffastader did not seem to have that information.

Again the same response? Couldn't remember the face? Just who was this person pulling all the strings? Was he strong enough to wipe out memories?

He summoned the other newly forged vampires as well and confirmed with them about this. They all gave him the same answers, but they did not have any special skills. 

They only had minor powers like fire magic proficiency and enhanced strength like the vampire twins he had met previously and forged.

At this time, Liam also summoned the vampire twins, thinking if he could get some information if he managed to ask everyone the right question or maybe jog some other memory.

However, just as the two twins popped out, they immediately lunged at Liam at full speed. "Master, we are ready to serve you." 

The duo pushed their chests forward and knelt in front of him in their usual position, ready to take things into their mouth and swallow.

"Bloody bastard." Jonathan sneered in contempt.

Luna snarled at him, but Liam hurriedly coughed. "Luna, don't do anything to him. He might die again and dissipate. I need to return this guy to Alex and Rey. They will take care of him." 

He realized that in his haste, he hadn't informed the duo anything much about the war or their uncle. 

It was something that should be done so that they could have some piece of mind. He would also then see what to do with the useless bastard. As far as he was concerned, they could do whatever they wanted with him. It would be up to them.

Liam then turned to pay attention to the two troublemakers who were still eyeing him like he was a tasty piece of meat they wanted to gorge on. "Ahem. from now onwards, I forbid you two to do this until I say so."

"Well, not until I say so." Liam shook his head as he had spoken in a hurry, but then he was alone, and he did not have to explain his behaviour to anyone. He came to the main point. 

He made all the main vampires stand in line and asked them. "Do you all know each other? Are you all vampire lords?" 

Liam asked this because these vampires seemed to possess one or the other skills that the other vampires did not.

Unexpectedly, the vampire soul minions shook their heads in unison. No one knew each other nor had ever communicated with each other before today in their whole lives.

And even though they all had some amount of narcissism to them, surprisingly, except for Jonathan, no one else seemed to claim that they were vampire lords or anything of that sort.

Liam circled the group, recollecting the special skills or rather powers of each of these individual unit leaders. They seemed to be bestowed rather than developed. 

Also, Jonathan's powers were definitely a step above the rest. Perhaps he was really a 'Vampire Lord' like he claimed?

Though the chances of this were low, this made him think if there were more vampire lords like Jonathan. Something like that would definitely be dangerous.

If they possessed powers like him but had more patience and brains to build this power and skill step by step, then they could really become a threat.

"I need to find out more about you vampire lords." Liam patted Jonathan on the back. His touch made the guy's soul contort in pain as he stumbled and fell forward in front of everyone.

Jonathan growled in anger, his eyes glaring at Liam, but the other party simply dismissed him. There was a lot more work to be done. He did not have time for this idiot.

Liam quickly packed up all of his soul minions and then once again resumed his search.

Meanwhile…

North of the currently marked 'Territory 6', which included all of the Asian countries, there was an island that did not show up on the world map which Liam had seen. 

In the middle of this island, a small boy or rather a boy who was clearly a bit short for his age, was sitting on the sandy ground.

He had human-like features and was dressed in crisp and clean clothes as if he belonged to an aristocratic family. His black jacket and the matching trousers did not contain a single spec of dust even though he was sitting on the ground.

More importantly, this boy had his eyes closed even though he was in the middle of nowhere. He only had a tranquil expression on his face. It was as if he was thinking about something pleasant or perhaps immersed in some sort of daydream.

But all of a sudden, this expression changed, and he flashed his eyes open without any warning. "Someone is killing my playthings one after the other."

If one looked closely, small wisps of crimson liquid that looked a lot similar to blood were revolving and rotating around him as if he was the sun.

"My Lord." Another voice chimed in, noticing the displeasure in the small boy's demeanour.

Four other beings rushed forward to attend to him, but the small kid silently grunted and waved them away.  This was something that he had to take care of himself.

"Nothing. Nothing. Forget it. You guys carry on." The small kid lazily answered. "Just some mosquito is buzzing around me and irritating me. It will get slapped down sooner or later. Nothing to worry about."

All the underlings obediently nodded as they bowed to the kid and then left him alone to do their assigned chores with all of their sincerity. Unlike him, these lackeys did not look human.

If Liam were here, he would have found similarities between them and the demons he had seen in the nether realm.

And the important chore they were attending to was... They were putting together some roasted meat and a refreshing coconut drink as per their lord's request.
