Chapter 446: [444] Terms
In the waters surrounding Itogami Island, a luxurious ocean liner slowly sailed into its domain.
The vessel, named Oceanus Grave II, was over 400 feet long—a massive, opulent yacht built for transoceanic travel. Every detail of the ship exuded extravagance, befitting its enigmatic owner: Dimitrie Vatler, the vampire noble and duke of the Warlord's Empire.
Standing at the bow of the ship, Vatler cut a striking figure in a pristine white suit, a glass of red wine delicately held in his hand.
"At last, Itogami Island. Fourth Primogenitor, we are about to meet again," he murmured with a smile.
In that moment, a ripple of energy passed through the air, and a figure materialized on the deck. Koyomi Shizuka, one of the revered leaders of the Lion King Organization, had arrived.
Vatler, far from surprised, greeted her with an amused expression, his ever-present smile playing at the corners of his lips.
"Ah, Koyomi Shizuka, the distinguished head of the Three Saints. What an unexpected honor," he said, tilting his glass in a mock toast.
"Vatler. It's been a while," Koyomi replied, her tone steady and composed.
"Indeed. The last time was during the Blazing Banquet, wasn't it?"
"That's correct," she said curtly.
"So, to what do I owe this pleasure?"
