Chapter 1762: The Future Leader Of Vampires

The various representatives were all stunned upon hearing that.

As it was a very impactful breakfast, one could not help but feel a great sense of satisfaction. However, on closer thought, they had merely finished breakfast. The real meeting had yet to even begin.

As the representatives of their respective races, they had the responsibility to fight for their race’s interest as well as uphold their image in front of the other races.

This meeting was a little rushed, but it was greatly supported by the giant dragons, and was set in Chaos City. Furthermore, it was held before the peace talks; therefore, the various races placed high importance on it.

However, the various races only guessed that this meeting might have something to do with the peace talks. They did not know what the details of the meeting were, and neither did they know what the giant dragons and Chaos City wanted to do.

Josh sat upright after stealing a glance at Irina. This was his first time representing the Roth Empire in a meeting of this level. If he could satisfy the king with his performance here, that meant that he would not be far from defeating Sean. Therefore, he had to perform well.

I really want to go back to sleep… Vanessa leaned into her chair, and covered her mouth as she yawned. Last night, she was so excited about having hot pot that she could not sleep. However, after waking up early and having the hot pot, she was fully satisfied, and the mention of getting to business made the sleepiness set in. She could barely keep her eyes open.

“Michael, the peace talks are in a few days. Why can’t we wait till then? Is there a need to have this meeting just a few days before the talks?” Auster asked.

The various representatives all looked at Michael. They were all puzzled as well.

“It’s not because we’re impatient, but because time waits for no one,” Michael said solemnly. “A few days ago, Chaos City and the giant dragons jointly sent everyone invitations to gather at Chaos City urgently because there is something we need to discuss. This matter is a life-and-death situation for all races on the Norland Continent.”

“The three of us drafted the joint application, and sent it out with Chaos City,” Louis said in a deep voice.

Douglas and Franklin nodded in agreement with Louis’s words.

The expressions of the various representatives changed. What could be this horrific disaster that the Norland Continent was facing that could make the three big shots of the giant dragons put so much importance on it?

Josh looked at Michael and the giant dragons. These people could be considered the top powerhouses of the Norland Continent. The giant dragons were already powerful as a whole. They were on par with, if not better than, the Roth Empire. If it was an opponent that even they had to take so seriously, what could it be?

Could it be… Josh thought of a certain possibility, and a hint of nervousness flashed past his eyes.

He… Irina was observing Josh at the moment. She did not sense anything when she saw him from afar yesterday, but Josh’s aura felt a little strange to her today.

Irina and Josh had known each other for years, and they had been rather comfortable with each other. He could be considered one of her rare, few friends.

However, she had not expected that Josh would actually lay hands on Mag and Amy. On top of that, he had even lied to her after that, and even offered to help her look for them hypocritically.

She hated him so much that she wanted to flatten him with her foldable chair.

However, when she saw Josh this time, he felt a little different, as though there was something melancholic about him.

Could it be a psychological thing? Irina thought to herself. She did suspect that the devils could be at play, but the Holy Light did not give her any signs.

Michael solemnly said, “The Norland Continent could enjoy peace for the past century because of the peace accord. Everyone could live peacefully, and Chaos City was created because of that to become the city made by people of various races.

“As the third city lord of Chaos City, I am very grateful to everyone for abiding by the peace accord for the past century. I am thankful that you’ve restrained yourself to allow the Norland Continent to have its treasured peace.

“However, the hundred-year pact that the various races have signed is almost up, and following that might be the start of another war with countless deaths and injuries.

“Therefore, first up on the agenda for today’s meeting, I would like to represent Chaos City to call upon everyone to continue to sign the peace accord so that we can have another century of peace.”

The restaurant was silent. Everyone looked around, and was not in a rush to voice out their opinion.

Everyone actually expected that.

Chaos City had a very unique existence. Back then, the peace accord was signed here, and Bastie Prison was built here to lock up the war criminals. On top of that, the first batch of residents in Chaos City consisted of the prison guards of Bastie Prison and their family members.

Chaos City was where people of different races gathered, and it could be considered the center of the Norland Continent. Geographically, it was very unique as well. It was where people of different races traded, and was very tolerant of everyone’s differences. Therefore, in a short span of a century, it became a bustling city of a million people from everywhere. It was a place where different races could settle down and live harmoniously.

The city lord’s castle and the Gray Temple were set up in the early phases of Chaos City, transforming the place from a city of crime and evil to the safest city on the Norland Continent. That was what attracted a group of powerhouses from various races with the same values, allowing Chaos City to have substantial power on the Norland Continent.

It was born from peace, and would naturally want peace to continue.

This was aligned with Chaos City’s wishes, and also that of the weaker stakeholders.

Josh frowned upon hearing that. Before they set off, he was summoned to the palace. He still remembered what the king had instructed him. The generations of people’s hard work made the Roth Empire stronger than ever. How could they be willing to settle with that tiny piece of land?

“We, the vampires, agree with Michael. Peace is such a beautiful word. We no longer want to be the bloodthirsty killer of the night. Red wine is the new way of life,” Dracula said with a smile as he swirled the red wine in his glass.

Everyone looked at Dracula. This young vampire ancestor had already started making decisions for the vampires?

“Heh. Dracula, can you represent all the vampires?” Westin mocked.

“I’m one of the two only ancestors of the vampires, the youngest ancestor in history, and the future leader of the vampires. Is it that difficult to make a decision?” Dracula said to Westin with a smile. “You, on the other hand, are just a stepping stone for Zachabar, or maybe the wallpaper for Thelma?”

“You!!” Westin’s face flushed red with anger instantly. He glared at Dracula. How dared that cowardly grass-eating vampire talk back to him?

The representatives who knew some insider’s stories all smiled.

The Shivarras weren’t weak among the demons. Among them, the great elder, Zachabar, was known to be the most destructive demon, while the second elder, Thelma, was also widely known to be an advocate for war.

Compared to the two of them, Westin, in third place, was indeed reduced to a wallpaper. His position in the tribe was also very awkward.

“You don’t have to say anything. In any case, you can’t make the decision.” Dracula stopped Westin from talking straight away.

“He might very well be thinking of usurping the throne,” Camilla commented.

“Hehe, he wouldn’t dare,” Dracula mocked.

“You… you two… This is infuriating!!” Westin was so angry that smoke began rising from his head.

The other representatives watched the show happily. They didn’t expect a show to start just as they began the meeting.
