Chapter 1089 - 432: White’s Unease
As the little girl let out a sharp cry, Zhang Beixing hadn’t reacted yet, but Jimmy was startled by her aura.
Seeing the two of them about to start fighting, Jimmy felt at a loss.
He wanted to step in and mediate, but was intimidated by the strength of the two, far surpassing his own, leaving him hesitant to move.
Seeing the little girl’s demeanor, Zhang Beixing remained unfazed; after all, he had already made some estimations in his mind.
This girl named Dracula was at most close to the Half-Step Extraordinary level, having not only an eerie speed but perhaps hiding some unique vampire techniques.
However, in an actual confrontation, absolute strength matters most; everything else is just icing on the cake.
As his aura gathered, waiting for the girl’s next move, the girl’s momentum suddenly weakened.
The bone wings behind her, which were originally pulled taut like bowstrings, suddenly lost their power.
"If we’re not going to fight, then so be it."
"But I can’t let go of the person Jimmy mentioned so easily."
Both Zhang Beixing and Jimmy were somewhat surprised at the girl’s sudden change in attitude.
Unexpectedly, this seemingly temperamental girl turned out to be rather flexible at crucial moments.
In fact, it wasn’t so much that the girl was flexible; rather, Zhang Beixing’s aura was daunting enough that the girl immediately sensed something was amiss.
His powerful aura rivaled her father’s, the Clan Leader of the Dracula Clan, a level of strength among the vampire clan’s elite.
Besides, vampires are inherently fast, but their defense is severely lacking.
Somewhat akin to the assassin class in online games.
Furthermore, the vampire clan prides itself on nobility, each member with a perpetually disdainful demeanor—so either nothing happens, or they return home in a box.
This is why, after so many years, the vampire clan has dwindled to so few members.
With few clan members left, acting impulsively and hotheadedly against this big guy in front of her would likely further reduce the clan’s numbers.
Hence, the girl chose to back down at the crucial moment; it wasn’t a principle matter, merely refraining from showing off in front of the juniors.
Anyway, the foolish-looking boy likely wouldn’t mind too much.
True to her expectation, Jimmy, standing beside her, seemed pleased rather than skeptical as the tension between her and Zhang Beixing dissipated instantly.
Looking back at Zhang Beixing, the girl realized she had retreated a step, yet he showed no reaction.
"Hey, don’t push it."
"I’ve already made my biggest concession. If someone bullies us Dracula, and there’s no cost to them, our clan’s reputation will be ruined."
As she spoke, the bone wings behind her quivered, ready to unfurl again.
Seeing the girl’s earnest expression, Zhang Beixing felt she was genuinely prepared to fight him.
Zhang Beixing shrugged slightly.
"Anyway, I don’t like that guy either, so handle him as you wish."
"But you cannot touch anyone from the Alba Clan."
This was Zhang Beixing’s true sentiment; ever since entering the Alba Manor, Peter had been wearing a disgruntled look.
If not for Richard, Peter might have met his end long ago.
Moreover, concerning Peter, even if the girl named Dracula doesn’t go after him, Zhang Beixing would find a way to deal with him for Jimmy’s sake.
After all, Jimmy had indeed helped him.
Seeing Zhang Beixing agree, the girl let out a long sigh of relief.
If he hadn’t agreed to even this small matter, she wouldn’t know what to do. Truly fighting with Zhang Beixing made her hesitate.
Thus, Zhang Beixing and the girl named Dracula reached a verbal agreement.
The girl cannot harm any members of the Alba Clan, but Peter, the instigator, must face punishment from the Dracula Clan.
Meanwhile, Peter knelt devoutly in the standalone chapel at the Alba Manor, praying sincerely, unaware of what was to come.
High above in the night’s sky, two large pairs of bone wings whistled, cutting through the sky’s swirling air. It was the figures of the girl and Jimmy flying at great speed in the moonlight.
Except for the larger figure, which seemed a bit unaccustomed to its recently grown wings.
After a short flight, it would stumble.
Meanwhile, above the forest on the ground, a shadow jumped effortlessly on the treetops, gracefully agile, moving even faster than the two flying in the sky.
After every jump, gaining distance, Zhang Beixing would stand on a treetop, looking up at the two flying above.
He silently cursed, saying, they’re unbearably slow.
Despite that, Zhang Beixing couldn’t help but feel a bit envious.
After all, what little boy hasn’t dreamed of growing wings and soaring through the skies?
After watching twice, Zhang Beixing gradually lost his patience, and his shadow accelerated abruptly.
In the darkness, if you didn’t carefully examine it, Zhang Beixing’s figure was barely discernible.
In the sky above, the girl noticed Zhang Beixing’s rapidly disappearing silhouette on the ground and felt anxious.
