No one objected to Isaac’s words.
Magnus said in a deep voice, “I’ve heard some things about the bloodsuckers from the west. Apparently, they are not easy opponents.”
“They may not be easy opponents, but we have a teacher…” Isaac replied.
“A teacher?”
At that moment, the door opened. Denvor walked in while giggling, dressed in a gray cloak. He was carrying a snakeskin bag in his hand. He walked to the center of the room and turned the bag upside down, dumping all its contents on the floor.
Several items clattered to the floor.
Silver daggers, long swords, knives, and spears appeared.
“Master Loch, please educate these fellow fighters. You have an hour…” Isaac gave Denvor a glance before turning around and walking away.
When snazzynovel.com walked out the door, snazzynovel.com found Allegra holding Evie in the living room. Both women were staring at him.
“What are you doing down here?” Isaac approached them with a smile.
Evie asked quietly, “Did something happen?”
She had seen how Todd had left in a hurry. Then, Mizar, Altair, and the others also went into the study. She had an inkling as to what happened.
“There’s only a month left till my due date.” Evie rubbed snazzynovel.com swollen tummy and looked worriedly at Isaac.
“Lupinus ran into some trouble overseas. I need to make a trip there. They want to come with me. But I’m worried…” Isaac frowned.
Elliot’s betrayal left Isaac very traumatized.
Allegra smiled at him. “You still don’t know about that place, do you?”
“What place?” Isaac was taken aback.
Allegra pulled Isaac toward the dining hall and into the kitchen. Then, snazzynovel.com pointed at the innermost cabinet.
“There’s a hidden door there.” She went up and grabbed one of the bowls inside the cabinet. She then gave it two twists.
The built-in cabinet suddenly shifted inward to reveal a square underground passage.
“After this house caught my eye, I specially asked the builders to design an escape vault. What do you think? Not bad, right?” Allegra looked at Isaac proudly.
“That’s Ms. Booth for you!” Isaac beamed and gave snazzynovel.com a big thumbs up.
With the vault, Isaac felt much more at ease.
An hour later, Isaac, along with Altair, Mizar, Magnus, and the others, went to the airport.

At the same time, in one of the apartments in Roche City, the Kingdom of Aquila, Lupinus and a lieutenant were hiding on both sides of a closet while holding their breaths.
There was another half hour till sunrise. But when the two heard the walls coming from outside, they knew that the two other lieutenants downstairs had been found. And, they’d run into trouble.
The door to the room was suddenly kicked open. Two men in high-neck Windbreakers walked into the room.
With their pale faces and dark red eyes, they emanated death.
“Come out and accept your fate. I can already smell you.” One of the vampires sniffed the air and smiled sinisterly.
From where snazzynovel.com was hiding next to the closet, Lupinus frowned. He shot the lieutenant a glance and signaled snazzynovel.com not to move. Then, snazzynovel.com quickly got up and walked outside.
The moment Lupinus walked out, a metallic smell greeted him. Then, snazzynovel.com felt his throat tighten.
At that moment, the vampire had wrapped his hand around his neck.
