The gray robe slowly pulled back, revealing a deeply etched, aged face. Compared to Alonzo's elderly appearance, this man's face was even more weathered, filled with depth, and carried a subtle hint of something eerily enigmatic.
"That brat, along with the martial god assassin from Dragonfang, wouldn't find it difficult to kill a high-ranking vampire," he said.
This man was none other than Christopher, Guillermo's master. Of course, no one knew his real name; he was only known as Wyrmhelm. He was one of the most terrifying figures active across the world.
The last person beside him pulled down his blood-red cloak, revealing a stunningly handsome man in his early 20s. He had blood-red hair, blood-red pupils, and blood-red fingernails.
However, he was no ordinary figure. He was Alucard Ludendorff, a high-ranking vampire archlord.
Alucard's gaze was ice-cold as he spoke in a chilling tone. "Sir, your sarcastic comments are useless. Don't forget, you came to us seeking cooperation, not the other way around. Now, another vampire duke has died. Your lack of sympathy is bad enough, but this insult is intolerable. Do you think our family lacks backbone?"
Christopher gave a dismissive laugh and glanced at Alucard with apparent contempt. "Alucard, like me, you're someone who has lived past 100 years. Wait… You seem to have lived even longer."
He continued, "You're over 500 now, aren't you? That puts you around the middle tier among the vampire archlords. Since you have lived that long, you should know a thing or two about me."
