Chapter 269: Bloodline Conference
"The others haven't arrived yet. Let's discuss matters once everyone is assembled."
Ofemia appeared completely unconcerned, but the attendants behind her had already begun to move. Gradually, the conference room was surrounded.
Perhaps they couldn't defeat Aisaco, but merely blocking him was more than sufficient. As long as they waited for the other high-ranking vampires to arrive, Aisaco would have no chance of escape.
Moreover, Marquis Ofemia herself was here to oversee things.
Loren stroked the crow in his arms. Movila had been constantly monitoring the situation outside. It was just inconvenient for her to speak here, but if something truly happened, she had plenty of ways to alert Loren.
During the wait for the others to arrive, the conference room was quiet. Loren simply struck up a conversation with Aisaco.
"Aisaco, what have you been doing all this time?"
"I've been researching new medicines. I'm not very proficient in other matters, so I left them all for my subordinates to manage."
Aisaco's words carried a hint of self-exoneration. He didn't want to break with the vampires just yet. His true plan hadn't even begun; it was far too early to sever ties.
