Chapter 1101 - 438: Zhang Beixing Has Absolutely No Intention of Getting Involved
Alina’s unexpected question caused Richard’s mind to go completely blank.
He hadn’t anticipated that the focus would shift back to him again.
Richard felt as if he was being toyed with by merciless fate, powerless to resist.
All he wanted was a crack in the earth to crawl into and escape this place of trouble.
But facing Alina’s sharp gaze, Richard knew there was no escape.
He cautiously glanced at Zhang Beixing, hoping to receive some guidance or hint from his elder brother.
However, Zhang Beixing wore an indifferent expression, seemingly unwilling to intervene.
Suddenly, Richard felt a surge of helplessness and despair.
He realized he would have to face this tricky question alone.
Richard’s mind raced as he tried to find a suitable answer.
He knew that his response might determine his life or death.
If his words were misplaced, it might invite Alina’s wrath.
The consequences would be unimaginable.
Richard took a deep breath and, trying to remain calm, spoke: "Miss Alina, your value is naturally immeasurable."
"You possess powers and abilities far beyond those of ordinary people, there’s no doubt about that."
Alina raised an eyebrow, appearing dissatisfied with the answer.
She coldly stared at Richard, awaiting his continued response.
Richard felt a chill climb up his spine, causing him to involuntarily shiver.
He hurriedly added: "However, value often needs to be proven through actual actions."
"I believe that with your strength, if you are willing, you can achieve astounding feats in various fields."
"Then, your value will be recognized and praised by the world."
Upon hearing this, Alina’s expression seemed to soften a little.
She nodded thoughtfully, seeming to seriously consider Richard’s perspective.
Richard secretly breathed a sigh of relief, grateful his quick thinking had avoided a disaster.
At that moment, Zhang Beixing suddenly spoke: "Richard is right."
"Value needs to be proven by actions, not just by words."
"Miss Alina, if you truly wish to return to China with me, then prove your value with your strength."
Zhang Beixing’s words surprised both Alina and Richard.
They hadn’t expected Zhang Beixing would stand by Richard at this moment.
Alina squinted, as if pondering the deeper meaning in Zhang Beixing’s words.
"Alright, I accept your challenge." Alina suddenly said, her tone carrying a hint of excitement.
"I will prove my value with actions, and make you acknowledge it."
"Don’t go back on your words by then."
Zhang Beixing smiled slightly, as if he had anticipated Alina’s reaction.
"Rest assured, I, Zhang Beixing, always follow through with my promises."
"If you truly demonstrate sufficient value, I will certainly honor my pledge."
Alina nodded with satisfaction and then turned to leave.
She seemed eager to begin proving herself.
Richard stared at the scene in disbelief.
"Brother, are you really going to let her prove herself?" Richard asked quietly, his tone containing a bit of worry.
"If she does something out of line, it could be hard to manage the consequences."
Zhang Beixing chuckled and patted Richard’s shoulder.
"Don’t worry, as long as I’m here, things won’t get out of control."
"Besides, this is an excellent opportunity to witness the true strength of a vampire."
Upon hearing this, Richard suddenly understood.
He realized Zhang Beixing was intentionally provoking Alina to showcase her abilities willingly.
This way, they could not only understand vampires better but also prevent Alina from acting rashly.
Richard couldn’t help but admire Zhang Beixing’s far-sightedness.
He secretly felt fortunate to be following such a wise brother.
It seemed he still had a lot to learn from him in the future.
Zhang Beixing watched Richard’s enlightened expression and smiled secretly.
In fact, he hadn’t thought so much; he simply found Alina intriguing and wanted to learn more about her.
However, Richard’s reaction was unexpected for him—he hadn’t realized the young guy had a knack for observation.
As they pondered their thoughts, Alina’s figure had already vanished into the night.
She seemed eager to start her "journey of proving" immediately.
Zhang Beixing and Richard exchanged glances and smiled knowingly.
They both looked forward to what kind of surprise this mysterious vampire girl would bring.
Meanwhile, they also speculated how this "proving" would affect their fates.
In any case, it was foreseeable that the coming days would not be peaceful.
Alina walked lightly on the paths of Alba Manor, her mind filled with countless thoughts.
She contemplated seriously how to best demonstrate her value and convince Zhang Beixing.
As a proud vampire noble, she had never considered proving anything to a human.
However, Zhang Beixing’s few words had ignited her fighting spirit.
She had to admit, there was a special charm about this man that made people instinctively want to follow him and submit to him.
And she, dignified Vampire Princess, how could she be content with being left behind?
Alina suddenly stopped, slightly stunned by the scene before her.
