Chapter 775 Rare Guest, Rare Guest
The blonde driver looked quite composed after being scolded. It was hard to tell if he was used to it or just a masochistic pervert. He backed up a bit, clearing the way to get out of the car, and muttered, "Madam, I'm taller than you even without my head..."
"...How did I end up bringing such a useless person with me?"
The young woman in the car grumbled, finally bending over and stepping out. She had long hair that reached her waist, fair skin, delicate features, and a Eurasian mixed-race beauty. The black dress she wore was made of exquisite materials, clearly indicating she was a wealthy person.
After this young woman got out, the other door was also pushed open, and another young woman emerged. This was a beautiful girl with a high nose bridge and distinct European features. Her appearance was even more eye-catching than the woman called "madam." This woman had a bewitching aura and a perfect figure. She wore a black, form-fitting long dress that resembled an evening gown, with an elaborate lace petal decoration on the chest. This decoration would normally be considered gaudy, but on this woman with her unique temperament, it seemed just right. The only word to describe the feeling she gave was: enchanting.
Enchanting beyond words, she seemed like a noblewoman straight out of a movie depicting medieval aristocratic life. Every move she made carried a distinct but unpretentious noble air, and she immediately attracted everyone's attention as soon as she appeared.
Originally, the few people standing by the roadside had only noticed the fancy car—uncommon in the southern suburbs—and glanced over. But when this enchanting woman appeared, those casual glances instantly became fixed. However, rather than being attracted by the woman's beauty, most people were wondering which film set these people had come from. How could three such strangely dressed people suddenly appear in this little southern suburb?
"Cassandra," the "madam" with long, straight black hair turned to look at the enchanting woman who was respectfully approaching her, "why do you always stand out more than me?"
The woman called Cassandra placed her hands on her lower abdomen and bowed slightly in response, "Because my breasts are bigger than yours."
The "madam" slapped her forehead. "Fu♂ck, who kicked me in the head when I was choosing a follower..."
The blonde driver immediately reported in a precise manner, "Madam, it was Hesperides who kicked you, because you insisted on passing through the Sixth Shadow Rift. Therefore, Lady Hesperides kicked you out of the gate with two feet, the second kick landing on your head."
The "madam" finally flew into a rage and roared, "...Duncan!!"
But just as she was about to teach her silly follower a lesson, someone suddenly walked out of the restaurant next door. It turned out that Nangong Wudi, who was cleaning up inside, had heard the commotion and came out to see what was happening. As soon as he came out, he saw a car parked at the door, and three people with a style different from the locals were standing next to it. He didn't pay much attention to the car—because Uncle Wudi didn't recognize it at all—but he immediately recognized the girl with long, straight black hair: "Huh? Vivian, what are you doing here? Are these your friends?"
The unexpected visitors who had arrived were none other than Heise Anna, who had run away from the Athens Sanctuary, and her two followers: the high-ranking vampire Duncan and Cassandra.
Heise Anna, who had already raised her leg to kick Duncan, perked up when she heard the name "Vivian," and stood up straight as if someone had flipped a switch. Her two followers immediately turned to look at Nangong Wudi. Duncan asked in somewhat broken Chinese, "You know Vivian Ansesaeta?"
Nangong Wudi quickly regained his composure from his brief surprise. He finally noticed the huge difference between the girl who looked almost identical to Vivian and the real Vivian: Vivian couldn't afford such nice clothes...
The impression of Vivian as a poor wretch was deeply ingrained in his mind, and Uncle Wudi didn't even notice that Heise Anna was a size smaller than Vivian overall.
While Nangong Wudi was becoming vigilant due to his momentary confusion, Heise Anna also cautiously scanned him. As a result of this scan, she happened to see the silver-plated buckle hidden under his coat—the signature equipment of a demon hunter!
An unfamiliar demon hunter!
Heise Anna suddenly became nervous, and didn't even notice the familiar tone in which Nangong Wudi had mentioned Vivian's name. Although Duncan and Cassandra were sometimes silly, they were also genuine, experienced vampires, and their reactions were no slower. The three vampires immediately formed a subtle triangular formation to support each other. It looked as if they had just casually changed their standing positions, but they had already formed a formation that could launch an attack at any time and escape in the confusion. A strange cold air emerged from all directions, carrying a mental force that ordinary people couldn't detect, enough to disturb their minds. The surrounding pedestrians only felt the temperature inexplicably drop, and then one by one, driven by an inexplicable unease, they left the area.
Nangong Wudi had originally wanted to ask about the origins of this girl who looked like Vivian, but he immediately noticed the rapidly increasing magical power in the air. His instincts as an old hunter made him immediately pull out his protective Leta card and holy silver dagger from his pocket.
A confused battle was about to break out.
Then Hao Ren's voice suddenly came from the other side of the road: "Hey! What's going on over there?!"
Nangong Wudi and Heise Anna looked over at the same time, and saw Hao Ren jogging towards them. They were both stunned.
Hao Ren was also confused. He had just taken Doudou out for a walk and was only a block away from home when he suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to buy groceries and soy sauce. Thinking it would be too troublesome to turn back, he went straight to Nangong's restaurant, intending to buy something there to take back to Vivian. But he didn't expect that as soon as he reached the intersection, he sensed a familiar chill coming from ahead. When he went around to look, he found Uncle Nangong confronting three people with non-human auras.
He noticed that the backs of the three people next to the car looked a little familiar, so he quickly called out to stop them, and then jogged over. At this time, Heise Anna happened to be looking back at him. When Hao Ren saw her face, he almost subconsciously called out Vivian's name, but he swallowed the words just as they reached his lips. After noticing her appearance, he immediately recognized that this was not Vivian, because that poor wretch couldn't afford such nice clothes...
Anyway, the first impression everyone had was of Vivian's poverty, and then they would remember other things.
"Heise Anna?" Hao Ren looked at the rare guest in surprise. "What are you doing here? And who are these two?"
Hao Ren's eyes fell on the blonde noble and the enchanting noblewoman. They had the perfect appearances and unique auras of high-ranking vampires. They could theoretically live off their faces in any country with a normal sense of aesthetics. They should have made a deep impression, but there were too many vampire beauties and handsome men at the Athens Sanctuary back then, and Hao Ren, who had face blindness, didn't recognize them at first glance. He just remembered that he should have met them once before.
"Duncan," the blonde noble bowed gracefully, "This is Cassandra. On behalf of the Heise Anna family, we extend our respects to you."
Heise Anna immediately glared at Duncan. "Shut up—I haven't even spoken yet, what are you representing!"
This "mini-Vivian" had a deeply rooted resistance to Hao Ren. Her mindset was roughly similar to that of a rebellious daughter facing a stepfather—although Hao Ren couldn't understand how this mindset was triggered, he could only respond to Heise Anna's bad attitude with a helpless dry laugh.
"This is Heise Anna, Vivian's... uh, mini-version," Hao Ren pointed to the problem girl who had Vivian's face but a completely different temperament and personality from the original. "We met at the Athens Sanctuary. She's the head of a family there."
Then he pointed to Nangong Wudi: "Nangong Wuyue's father."
Heise Anna was surprised: "Oh, you found her?"
"Found her," Hao Ren said deliberately, "It wasn't easy. I even had to go to another world."
"Keep bragging," Heise Anna rolled her eyes, "You don't have that much ability."
Hao Ren smiled and didn't say anything. He thought that it would be interesting to bring this problem girl to the spaceship to see the world when he had the chance—as long as he didn't leak any information about the Space-Time Administration and the Macro World. With Heise Anna's clinginess to Vivian, this girl would eventually find out that her "mom" was running to other worlds all the time.
A misunderstanding was finally resolved. After Nangong Wudi realized that these were friends, he immediately laughed heartily and invited them to sit down in the shop. Heise Anna was easy to talk to with people other than Hao Ren, so she happily agreed.
