Vampire's Slice Of Life

Chapter 437 Reforms In The CNC

Chaos ensued in the Upper House once again with people panicking and being on guard and taking a defensive stance.

Noman and Ruben's actions were not something they had expected. They thought that after telling them about the rules and other things, these two would back out, but that wasn't the case!

The council members could only stay in their places and wait for help while continuing to defend themselves against the two. There was no other option.

Judging from how the two had the ability to kill a council member with one single attack, they knew it was better to not take risk and run towards the exit.

Noman, looking at all the people taking a defensive stance and looking at him and Ruben with hostility, said calmly, 

"This wouldn't have happened if everyone here did their jobs properly." 

Nobody commented on Noman's remarks. Their full attention was on guarding themselves against these two.

Noman continued, "In case you don't know what I am talking about, let me remind you about it." 

"Lady Emilia was made to take rounds of the CNC constantly because you guys couldn't understand Eric's tricks and his false complaints. Then, there was Lady Arya who was falsely charged and you ordered her to be removed from her job. Lastly, you took off the conflict zone status just because you had the power to without considering if the conflict was over or not. This caused serious problems and you also sent officials to attack His Highness." 

Ruben, listening to everything from the side, said to Noman slowly, "hey, you accidentally let out His Highness' identity."

Noman turned to look at him and said, "it's alright."

He then turned to look at the council members and continued, "they are not going to live anyway."

Looking at his friend acting like that, Ruben made a big smile and said with a laugh, "I wonder who's the real demon among us two?"

Noman said simply, "it's you, not me. My ways of killing are mild and less painful."

Ruben laughed again hearing that.

Meanwhile, on the council members' side, their thoughts went haywire and they didn't know what to do.

From what Noman said, they could recall these things happening as it wasn't too long since those events occurred.

They cursed themselves thinking how stupid they were to meddle with the affairs of an Emperor Rank. They shouldn't have messed with the problems of Eric and Emilia and they also regretted their decision of firing Arya.

Arya was now a Supreme Rank and she could kill everyone here in just a single breath. They were too foolish to meddle and now no amount of cursing was enough to change things.

But other than this, they also caught onto another point that Noman said. 

His Highness, he said? He meant the Vampire Prince by it right? Because there was only male in the Royal Clan and it was him.

But now the question lied: when did these guys attack him? They dared not do such a thing even in their dreams. So why did Noman say that?

Everyone was thinking the same except…

'Oh no…' 

Myers had a cold sweat on his back and his entire body trembled in fear. He knew exactly how the prince was hurt. More correctly, how he had commanded the people to attack him.

It was due to the command from Myers who was the reason the conflict zone status was gone and it was him that was also responsible for whatever was happening to today.

When he realized this, his expression became really grim.

'Don't panic. Don't panic. If they had known it was me who attacked the prince, they would've already killed me. Them not killing me must be because they don't know who is the culprit.' 

Myers took deep breaths and tried to stay calm.

Noman, who was looking at the people in the front, raised his lance and spun it. He chanted an ancient spell while spinning it and a few seconds later, a white magic circle with golden engravings was formed.

Noman then turned towards Ruben and tossed his lance to him. "Put some of your spiritual energy into it."

Ruben didn't know what Noman was upto but he did as asked. He held the lance with one hand and touched it with his index finger of the other hand. 

A reddish dark aura spread from the tip of his finger into the lance and the ordinary looking white lance soon changed colour and turned dark red. 

A few seconds later, Ruben tossed the lance back to Noman, who simply spun it and sent it straight towards the magic circle above.

The people in the room had no idea what the angel and the demon were upto, but they continued to be on guard to defend against any attack that may potentially happen.

The lance went straight into the centre of the magic circle and got swallowed by it. 

The magic circle started rotating and a bright white light lightened the entire hall in just a matter of a few seconds.

Soon…

A ray of white light fell on a person and then onto another person beside him. This kept happening with a few more people until…

A red ray of light fell onto a council member.

Fuussshhhhhh

BURST!

An air piercing sound was heard followed by the bursting noise of the council member's body.

Everyone once again became shocked to know what had just happened and turned to look at Noman and Ruben.

However, before they understood things, the white light continued to fall onto them and soon, a few more red lights shone upon some council members.

Myers was far from the group where the initial white light fell. He currently had no light on him and he was constantly chanting in his mind,

'I don't know what that light is, but please be white. Please be white. Please be white.' 

Myers was also fully on guard and in a defensive position. He was ready to block any incoming attack on him and flee right after a moment later.

The lights continued to shine on the many council members and finally, it was Myers' turn.

Myers, who was hoping it was a white light, saw his vision turn completely red. He was momentarily confused when he once again heard the air piecing sound.

'It's coming!'

Myers quickly escaped from his position and dodged the incoming attack.

BOOM!

An explosion occurred in the spot Myers was. 

Myers felt slight relief in dodging that attack, however, before he could rejoice, his vision turned dark and he fell unconscious.

"The reform is completed. The ones guilty of causing problems for the Royal Clan have been eradicated. We shall take our leave now." Noman's voice resonated in the hall.

Soon, the remaining thirty or so council members saw Noman and Ruben vanish from the hall along with the bright white light that illuminated the room.

The council members were dumbfounded by this entire fiasco that took place and only after a few minutes passed did they come to the realisation that those not involved with Arya or Emilia were left unscathed.

Not everyone was killed.

They all took a breath of relief and sat down on their chairs with their bodies still trembling from fear of knowing how the Vampire Royal Clan could come at any time and kill them if they dared to bother it.

They swore upon their gods to never get into conflict with them and thanked their stars for letting them live.

A few more minutes later, the door of the Upper House opened up and a man in black daoist robes entered. He was a human and currently had a very serious look on his face.

"What happened here? What was the emergency?" 

Everyone's gaze turned hostile as they saw him. How dare this man arrive only now?! Where was he before? The people in here would've almost died a few moments ago.

The person in black robes was the representative of the human race sent to the Neutral Continent for the current tenure. He was at the very top and below him was the CNC that was supposed to govern the Neutral Continent.

The man, noticing everyone's hostile gazes, couldn't help but ask, "what's wrong with you all? Why are you looking at me like that?"

The council members wanted to smash this person's head into a thousand pieces for asking such a dumb question.

But one of the calm and collected council members decided to not get angry and explained the situation to the one in-charge.

The man, finally understanding what had just occurred, felt extremely angry with the behaviour of the Vampires. 

'How dare they? Who do they think they are? Barge in here anytime they want, kill anyone anytime they want? Do they take the current heads of the Neutral Continent as a joke?' The man cursed internally 

The man then looked at the council members and said, "don't worry everyone, I'll be sure to bring this matter with the ancestor and have him pay a visit to Nightingale. I am sure that the Vampires just think too highly of themselves. But don't worry, once Ancestor pays them a visit, their arrogance will soon subside."

The man then smirked and continued, "the humans have been dormant for quite a while. The vampires will finally understand the immensity of heaven and earth."

The people in the room facepalmed as they heard that and were stunned speechless.

'Mate, if only you knew…' 

Everyone had similar thoughts, except for a few human council members who had full faith in their Ancestor.

The man in black robes then walked towards the exit and said while leaving, "I'll go inform the Ancestor about it. Don't worry, this issue will soon be resolved."
