January 29, 2110, Rainy

Today I met the Sun Emperor! He was just as mature and steady as I imagined, while being so arrogant that he treats everyone like dust… He’s not a good man, but he truly is a captivating one!

However, this is really too inconceivable. The little young master is actually the Sun Emperor’s younger brother?!

The solitary Sun Emperor actually has a younger brother. My god, if I sold this piece of news, I probably wouldn’t have to worry about money for the next few hundred years.

However, the Sun Emperor doesn’t want the world to find out about the little young master.

If I dared to sell this piece of news, it wouldn’t just be a few hundred years that I’d have no worries about money. I most likely wouldn’t have to worry for eternity.

Dead men have no use for money… Nor do dead vampires.

Dark Sun ran swiftly as he dodged the bullets. DSII also sped over and helped him block several. After jumping on the motorcycle, Dark Sun paused briefly to glance at the three people from the Church. Then he raced away.

The overgrown boy appeared to want to give chase, but the woman stopped him. “Don’t follow. He’s not the main target. There’s no need to get involved.”

After Dark Sun’s departure, the screen only showed Yue Gang, who was so furious that he was stamping his feet at the three people from the Church. Two of them ignored him completely. Only the overgrown boy donned a smile to speak with him.

After about ten minutes, I felt that Dark Sun would be at a sufficient distance from the crowd. Only then did I take out my cell phone and dial the young master’s number. However, just as I expected, the ringing sounded from the young master’s room… It appears the young master has made a habit of leaving his cell phone behind when he goes out.

Even though I felt very uneasy, there was nothing I could do. On the contrary, I had to resolutely suppress my anxiety and do my daily cleaning to avoid raising Gong Feng Xiang’s suspicions.

As I was wiping a glass cup, Gong Feng Xiang suddenly smiled and said, “You truly are diligent.”

“Pardon?” I was rather unsure what she was referring to.

Gong Feng Xiang smiled as she said, “I said, you are truly a diligent butler. You wiped one glass for ten minutes. If that is not diligence, then what else would it be?”

It is worry. I gave her a superficial smile, but deep down, I heaved a sigh. How is the young master doing, I wonder?

Ring ring…

Could it be the young master? I immediately received the call. “This is Charles. Is this the young master?” I asked.

“No, this is Ji Luo Chu, but Ah Ye is at my studio.”

“The young master is at your studio? How is he?” As I asked, I sighed in relief. Everything is fine as long as the young master is not alone.

Ji Luo Chu’s voice sounded deeply worried. “He looks really miserable. His arms and legs are covered with wounds, which he just bandaged carelessly. After he asked me for pants and a long-sleeved shirt, he said he was leaving. I managed to get him to stay by telling him to look over the photos from the previous shoot… Anyway, come over quickly!”

“I will head over right now,” I said hurriedly.

I got up to leave, but immediately saw Gong Feng Xiang looking at me curiously. It was only then that I remembered her presence. After hesitating briefly, I told her, “Gong Feng Xiang, I will have to trouble you to wait for me here. I will be back in a while.”

“Very well, Young Master,” Gong Feng Xiang replied with a smile.

Despite her smile, I still felt very uneasy. However, the young master’s situation was more important right now, so I could not take the time to bother with her. Still, even with the urgency of the situation, I could not forget the previous incident when Yue Gang had “mistaken” me for a vampire because of my outfit. Therefore, I decided to change into my X-Killer clothes before leaving the apartment.

The moment I walked out the door, I saw Melody. She was standing near the doorway, looking as if she had been waiting for me.

“The young master—”

“Whatever it is,” Melody interrupted, “let’s talk after we find him. I also have to make some inquiries about why those people from the Church have come here. Sunset City is not the Church’s territory!”

I nodded in agreement. However, regarding why the Church had come here, I had an inkling—it was probably related to E.X.

As I rode the elevator down with her, I inquired, “Are we taking a taxi?”

Melody shot me a glance as she answered, “I have a car.”

“When did you buy a car?” I asked, astonished.

“Ten minutes ago.”

Ten minutes?

When we walked outside, an extremely glamorous new violet sports car was parked in front of the building. There was even a man in a suit standing ramrod straight beside the car door. He seemed to be the salesperson.

“Miss Melody…” he greeted with a huge grin.

However, Melody replied discourteously, “Less chatter. I’m in a hurry! The money’s already been sent to the bank account. Give me the keys!”

“Yes ma’am!” The salesperson offered her the car keys deferentially, smiling happily. “Thank you for your patronage. If you are ever in need, you are always welcome to come for a test drive.”

Melody snatched the keys and stepped into the driver’s seat. “Butler, get in!” she shouted to me.

I stepped into the front passenger seat, and before I had even closed the car door properly, Melody hit the gas pedal and zoomed away.

“Where is the young master?” Melody asked abruptly.

I clutched the door handle tightly. “You bought a car without knowing his whereabouts?” I asked with a wry smile.

“In any case, as long as you know, it’s all right,” she answered. “And I foresee that we’ll be using a car frequently in the future. In order to tail the young master, who can fly, I specially bought a sports car with the best performance.” Melody gave me a quick look and teased, “Or would you prefer to ride DSII?”

“This car is not bad,” I praised. Then I instructed, “Turn left up ahead. The young master is at Mr. Ji Luo Chu’s studio.”

“Oh?” Melody’s eyes sparkled as an extreme left turn saw us brushing dangerously against another car as it passed.

“…” I lost the power to reply and could only cling tighter to the door handle.

Just then, my cell phone rang again. Before picking up the call, I glanced at the screen. It was Ji Luo Chu. The moment the call connected, his voice came through. “Charles, Ah Ye has left already. I couldn’t stop him. Are you nearby?”

I gauged my surroundings and replied, “Yes, we will be there after two more streets.”

“Then, be on the lookout along the way. Ah Ye only just left. He’s wearing the clothes from the previous photo shoot for the ‘Tears of an Angel’ advertisement. Dressed in all white, he should be quite conspicuous.”

“Understood. Thank you very much.”

“No problem, just hurry and find him! I’m really worried for him…”

After Ji Luo Chu ended the call with a sigh, I told Melody hastily, “Slow down a bit. Stay in this vicinity. Luo Chu said Ah Ye is on the streets nearby.”

At that very moment, Melody unexpectedly jammed on the brakes. My entire body was thrown forward, pulling the seat belt strapped over my chest so tight that it was somewhat uncomfortable… But it was lucky that I had fastened it. Otherwise, I would probably have broken and flown through the windshield.

After trembling in fear for a moment, I asked in distress, “Melody, why did you suddenly stop?”

“Look over there.” Melody pointed ahead, to the left.

The second I looked over, I saw the young master. As Ji Luo Chu had described, he was wearing a set of clothes in pure white. He was indeed eye-catching. In fact, there were numerous passersby who were looking at him. Most of their expressions showed admiration.

The young master sat on a bench by the sidewalk, looking extremely dejected. His eyes were red, although he was not crying. That aside, he was also not alone. There were three other people around him—the classmates who had come by recently. Leanna and Abner were talking with the young master, but Aren was standing quietly to the side. Despite his silence, he was frowning as he looked at the young master, also seemingly very concerned.

After watching for a while, Melody opened her mouth to ask, “Should we still go over?”

“Let his classmates console the young master first. We will observe the situation before making any further plans.” I was quite delighted. It truly was wonderful that the young master had bumped into his classmates. There would be nothing better than letting them give him comfort.

“Observe the situation, is it?” Melody asked. “Then we can get out of the car soon. It looks like the young master is saying goodbye to his classmates.”

I looked back, and sure enough, the young master had stood up from the bench. It looked like he was waving farewell to his classmates.

I nodded quickly to Melody and got out of the car, shouting, “Ah Ye!”

The attention of the young master and his classmates turned to us immediately. The young master even exclaimed, “Charles… Charles-gē! And Melody-jiě!”

His classmates’ eyes widened and then went blank as they stared at Melody’s car… Oh no! I had forgotten that Melody’s car was entirely too glamorous. One look and they would know it was a high-end luxury vehicle.

On the other hand, these three had visited the young master’s home before. They knew all of its furniture and books were expensive premium goods. Now it was merely adding on an expensive car. There was not much difference.

“Ah Ye, is the new car I bought beautiful?” Melody asked coyly.

The young master carefully examined the car. His depression seemed to have greatly lessened. He smiled and said, “Mm, it’s very beautiful!”

Melody answered happily, “Get in. I’ll drive you back.”

At that point, Abner swallowed, and with his eyes fixed on the car, asked, “Can we hitch a ride?”

The young master immediately lent him a hand. “Melody, can you give my classmates a ride as well?”

“Of course,” Melody acquiesced with sickening sweetness. “Ah Ye’s classmates are my classmates!”

Abner’s gaze moved from the car to Melody. He swallowed several times, until Leanna and Aren elbowed him from the right and left. He cried out in pain.

Seeing this, the young master laughed. With a mischievous expression, he declared, “Everyone else may have a seat, but Abner isn’t allowed to!”

“Why?!” Abner exclaimed.

“Who asked you to look at her with such pervy eyes?!” Leanna retorted. Adding insult to injury, she immediately added, “Melody-jiě would never let a lecher like you into her car!”

Abner promptly refuted, “Aren also looked at the car and Melody-jiě! How come he’s allowed to go? It’s not fair!”

Hearing this, Aren merely narrowed his eyes at him. He did not say a single word, but his expression was one hundred percent full of disdain. There was absolutely no need for him to speak.

“Hey, hey! What kind of expression is that…? If a man doesn’t like cars and isn’t lustful, is he still considered a man?”

Leanna sniffed and said rudely, “Only you would drool over cars and always be horny! Look at Aren, Ah Ye, and Charles-gē: which one of them is as perverted as you?!”

“I—Huh?” Halfway through his words, Abner suddenly froze.

A figure rushed toward the three of them. The young master turned his head to look and also blurted, “Huh?” Then, the figure dashed to his side, picked him up by the waist, and leaped away. After which, it ran off swiftly… The whole course of events lasted only a few seconds.

My mouth dropped open slightly. I was completely unable to make sense of the current situation. It was only when I heard a scream that I snapped back to reality.

Leanna was the one who had screamed. She grabbed onto Abner with one hand and Aren with the other. “Ah Ye! Ah Ye has been snatched away by a werewolf! What do we do?!” she screamed frantically.

That figure just now was indeed a werewolf. I had seen that very clearly. The werewolf who had kidnapped the young master was the one who had just escaped from Dark Sun and the Church’s subordinates… Wait, he actually kidnapped the young master?! I did not know whether to laugh or cry. What exactly is going on?

“Charles-gē!” Leanna and the other two ran to me. Panicking, she babbled, “W-What should we do? Should we chase after them? But they’ve already disappeared… Will the werewolf eat Ah Ye?”

“We…” I was speechless. Should what? We do not need to do anything, do we? If the young master thought nothing of five werewolves, then what is a single werewolf to him?

Melody muttered, “Is this werewolf unlucky or simply stupid?! He just escaped from the hands of the young master, yet now he actually abducted him of his own accord. He better run off somewhere nice and deserted, so it’s convenient for the young master to get rid of the body…”

I nearly laughed out loud. However, with three anxious classmates in front of me, I had to stifle my laughter and appear grave instead. “Let us inform the police before any further discussion!” I told them.

I took out my phone, and after thinking for a moment, dialed Yue Gang’s number.

“What?” Yue Gang’s grumpy voice came through the moment the call connected. “I’m busy right now! Don’t you know there are werewolves running all over the place? If you’ve got nothing, stay at home and lock the doors tight! If there’s something, hurry up and tell me. Got it? Concisely!”

“My brother has been taken by a werewolf.” I wonder, is this concise enough?

“… What?” Yue Gang took five seconds to respond. “Where are you?!” he shouted.

I quickly reported the name of the street and the direction the werewolf was headed.

“I’ll immediately get some men and chase after it… I-I’m sorry for your loss!”

I heard the sound of the call disconnect and in my heart, felt rather exasperated. How can you tell someone you are sorry for their loss before their brother has even died? This Yue Gang really does not know how to communicate.

Ring ring ring!

Before I even had time to put away my phone, the ringtone sounded again. To my surprise, the caller ID was Yue Gang. Why is he calling again when he just hung up? I accepted the call, feeling puzzled. Yue Gang only said tersely, “Charles, watch the television,” and then hung up again.

“What happened? Hurry up and tell us!” Melody’s acting was very realistic. Her panicky cries were almost comparable to Leanna’s.

I hurriedly assumed an expression of anxiety and replied, “The policeman told me to watch the television. Where can we go to watch?”

“Television?” Abner answered promptly, “Evening Sun Plaza is close by. There’s a huge television screen there!”

“Get in!” Melody ordered everyone immediately.
