Chapter 1267: Chapter 1268: Oh, Little Beauty (4)
Eddie, who had a slight case of OCD, thought about how the remote was handled by Tan Yulin, with his red hair and lack of hygiene, and he wanted to rip his own lips off.
"Hey! Pretty boy, what’s your problem? What did my remote ever do to you? Are you insinuating something?" Tan Yulin rolled up his sleeves, clearly not backing down!
As a foreigner, Eddie had no idea what "insinuating something" meant, so he looked at the furious Tan Yulin with confusion, utterly clueless about why he was angry.
Tan Yulin felt as if he had punched a pillow; all his rage had nowhere to go.
As the key figure in the whole situation, Gu Yelin calmly took An Yiqing’s hand out of Eddie’s grasp and carefully pulled her over to sit on the sofa.
"Those people are looking for you, planning to take you back."
Gu Yelin’s words stopped Eddie and Tan Yulin from arguing further. Qiao Si, who had just come out of his room with mouthwash, paused, his eyes flickering with a cold light.
Looking mockingly at the few men sleeping on the ground, Eddie’s lips curled into a bright smile. But despite the smile, Tan Yulin, standing next to Eddie, couldn’t shake off a chilling feeling.
"They’re just a bunch of clowns from the Refuno Family, not worth mentioning. With their level of skill, they need a few more years before they can catch me."
Gu Yelin coldly glanced at the self-assured Eddie, his words mercilessly cutting him down.
"They have the church’s Holy Light Water."
Eddie’s face immediately darkened, and even Qiao Si’s expression became somewhat grave.
"What’s the Holy Light Water? What’s going on?" Tan Yulin scratched his head, puzzled.
"The Holy Light Water is a treasure possessed only by high-ranking church officials, purified by the Pope himself to cleanse the world’s darkness. It is rumored to be the nemesis of all vampires. High-level vampires like Princes and Dukes might just feel unwell, but lower-level ones like Viscounts and Barons will immediately disintegrate. Eddie, being an Earl now, isn’t life-threatened by it, but it can immobilize him. If these people succeed today, Eddie will have no chance to escape being taken away."
An Yiqing’s words gave Tan Yulin a rough understanding of the threat the Holy Light Water posed to vampires. Eddie shot An Yiqing a surprised glance, not expecting an Eastern woman to know so much about the inner workings of Western vampire churches.
"Don’t look at me like that. I’ve traveled extensively with my master since I was little. I’m not the caged canary you’re imagining."
Feeling Eddie’s astonished gaze, An Yiqing shook her head gently, "You should think about how to deal with these people. If you kill them, the Refuno Family won’t let it go easily."
Eddie felt a bit gloomy; An Yiqing’s analysis was spot-on. He couldn’t kill these people; otherwise, the Refuno Family would send more after him.
The Refuno Family has long been at odds with his Bruch Family. Both families are evenly matched in strength, and each is determined to take the Clan Chief position of the Blood Clan. Eddie and his father have always been thorns in the Refuno Family’s side. Now, with such an opportunity, there’s no way they wouldn’t take advantage of it.
However, Eddie didn’t expect that the Refuno Family’s people would come so late.
"Gu, beautiful little baby, do you have any suggestions?"
