Chapter 48 - 2.18 I Was So Afraid
Lu Yizhou dragged Alfred’s limp body to the front gate of Valmor Residence and hung him there after making sure that he wouldn’t awake until the sun rose tomorrow. This was a punishment as well as a warning for every vampire out there, the consequences of breaking into a territory he protected. With this, they would have to think twice before even daring to touch the outer wall of the residence.
He stared up at Alfred’s ghastly pale face and his eyes that rolled backward, suddenly recalling the wounds on Theodore’s arm. Once again, anger rose in his heart and his nails elongated, sharp and deadly. A long gash formed on Alfred’s neck in the next second. Vampire’s healing ability was top notch but it was a different matter altogether if the one who inflicted the injury was a pureblood. They would become vulnerable, similar to a human with slow recovery ability. Alfred’s body jerked as blood spurted out from the wound and flowing down his body to the ground, still unconscious.
[666: Host, your waist...]
Lu Yizhou paused. He almost forgot about that. He lifted his shirt to see the wounds had already started to heal and pinkish flesh grew anew. One couldn’t even have guessed that he was just shot just a moment ago. Once again, he marveled at Raphael’s regeneration ability. Nonetheless, although the wound had closed up nicely...the bullet was still inside. Frown creased Lu Yizhou’s forehead as he once again tore the wound open to dig the bullet out, biting his lips to suppress the groan that almost came out.
[666: *retch* oh fortunately, 666’s screen is mosaicked but the imagination is enough to make 666 unable to eat for the whole day.]
The bullet fell from his fingers and Lu Yizhou flicked the blood from his hand. [I didn’t know you can eat.]
[666: No, of course 666 doesn’t eat hehe. 666 just wants to try saying that. It sounds cool!]
Lu Yizhou was once again at a loss of words at the system’s absurdity. Ignoring the remarks, he turned his heels and made his way inside the building. [With this, the tragedy that should befall Valmor Family has been evaded right?]
[666: Oh yes! Congratulations, Host! You have successfully altered the villain’s fate. He doesn’t have to lose his family and go through the torment of being a slave! Host is cool, Host is powerful! Host doesn’t know how envious other systems are when 666 showed them Host’s pictures! They were all gushing about how Host is soo handsome!]
[Shut it. You still dare to say that?] Lu Yizhou sneered. In the first place, it was only because 666 was distracted with taking pictures that it failed to notice Lu Yizhou that Theodore was eavesdropping behind the door. Well, regardless of that, Theodore was able to have a good talk with his parents so he couldn’t say that it was a bad thing although having his identity exposed in such a way left a bitter taste in his mouth. [There’s something I am confused about. In the original plot, Alfred is still alive but the attack on Valmor Residence still happens.]
[666: Yep, that’s just how the simulator works. It conjures up the most probable scenario that will lead to a certain major event. In your case, Host, Alfred’s revenge is the most suitable. Even if Alfred is still alive, the world will create another scenario that will lead to the same situation, for example Master Valmor’s enemy or a wandering group of thieves. Anything that can result in the death of the villain’s parents.]
