Chapter 1058 Lucas Family

Apparently, even the Lucas family, a stubborn faction within the vampires who held themselves in high regard, didn't dare to neglect Vivian, this ultimate ancestor who had survived since prehistoric times. Hesperide sent a servant to deliver a message yesterday, and today their family head had personally come to visit. But thinking about it, vampires were originally a race that attached great importance to bloodlines and inheritance. They valued "seniority" more than anything else. Even if Vivian was mentally ill, she was still their elder. And not to mention vampires, even if someone like the Yellow Emperor or Adam and Eve suddenly appeared among humans and said they wanted to meet someone on Earth, how many people could sit still, assuming it was genuine? Vivian's history wasn't shorter than those figures...

However, although the Lucas family arrived early, the important figure they wanted to see had only just woken up. As Hao Ren followed two vampire maids towards the main hall on the first floor, he saw Vivian pushing open a door from the side, yawning and looking like she hadn't fully woken up as she greeted him, with her hair uncombed and face unwashed. This surprised Hao Ren greatly: Vivian usually paid the most attention to her image. As Lily would say, she was a pretentious pauper. Even when she was about to starve to death, she would try to keep her old clothes neat and tidy, always looking like a dignified and elegant lady—this look was rare.

"Didn't sleep last night?" Hao Ren looked at Vivian strangely. Vampires' biological clocks were different from humans. Sometimes Vivian could sleep for an hour a day and not feel tired. Her current mental state was like she had stayed up for three or five nights.

Vivian pointed to Hesperide, who was coming out of another room: "I dealt with her all night, and I'm almost having a nervous breakdown."

Hao Ren immediately had a brain full of inappropriate images and looked at Hesperide strangely. But the latter was still angry: "What kind of look is that! I just wanted to crawl into Vivian's hair to sleep like before—but I failed."

Hao Ren looked curiously at Vivian, who put her hands on her hips: "Easy to deal with. I dissolved into a swarm of bats last night and slept scattered throughout the house. Her little skills were inherited from me. She's too young to fight me... yawn..."

"You maintained a dissolved state all night?" Hao Ren looked at Vivian with a strange expression. "Aren't you tired? What's the point of sleeping all night?"

"Let's not talk about this, let's not talk about this. I heard the Lucas family guys are here? Take me to the washroom to wash my face, I'll go see them right away," Vivian said, while having the two vampire maids lead the way. Before leaving, she turned her head to remind Hao Ren, "Also, you still haven't changed your habit of kicking off the covers while sleeping? It scared me when I saw them hanging at the head of your bed last night!"

Vivian strode away, leaving Hao Ren to turn his head and meet Hesperide's dagger-like gaze stabbing towards him. He now felt that Vivian was definitely doing this on purpose!

Hesperide took out an iron hammer from somewhere, smiling brightly at Hao Ren: "Come, come, come, put your head over here and I'll show you something good..."

"Calm down! Even if she was really hanging in my room, they were just two bats! What can I do to bats?"

"Stop talking nonsense! Who doesn't know that there are many perverts among you humans! Especially you wizards, what if you were born to like winged things!?"

Hao Ren: "..." Vivian shouldn't have let her daughter grow up like this! Look at what this girl has learned?

Fortunately, Hesperide still knew what was important. Perhaps considering the risk of Vivian beating her up in the future, this girl finally calmed down and went to fulfill her responsibilities as the family head to entertain today's guests. Hao Ren then knocked on each door along the corridor to gather his companions, leading a mighty... well, a team of only four or five people to the main hall on the first floor. He wanted to see the head of the Lucas family out of curiosity, while Lily had the mentality of eating breakfast—or maybe lunch or dinner. This big dog was already confused from sleeping, and this damn city had no time of day, so who knew what time it was outside.

As soon as he went downstairs, he saw the representatives from the Lucas family. He couldn't help but notice. This group had a super high presence. You could tell at a glance the huge difference between them and the surrounding atmosphere, and Hesperide and her cronies: this seemed to be a group of vampires who actually conformed to common sense.

A large table was temporarily placed in the center of the main hall. Hesperide and a group of subordinates in formal attire were sitting at one end of the table, temporarily looking very well-mannered, while sitting opposite them were a dozen men and women, the envoys of the Lucas family. Everyone was wearing the clothing that the blood clan liked most: formal black attire with heavy tones, decorated with scarlet silk or ribbon trim, not the outdated classical style, but carefully designed clothes that wouldn't seem too out of place even at a modern banquet, and wouldn't seem too simple at a blood clan banquet. The blood clan was indeed a race that paid attention to everything under any circumstances. Lily's evaluation of their "pretentious pauperism" was still very pertinent.

The head of the Lucas family was the tall, thin man sitting in the middle of the dozen people. He was a pale middle-aged man with short, gray-white hair combed meticulously back, wearing a black formal attire with dark red lining, with elegant clothing and a dignified appearance, even with a bit of refinement, not as gloomy and刻薄 as imagined. He was clearly someone who paid considerable attention to his image, from his hair to his clothes, even to every wrinkle on his clothes, being impeccable. Hesperide was complaining about this across the table: "You still look like this, dressing like you're ready to be cremated wherever you go..."

Just based on this mouth, Hao Ren suspected that this girl had injured her brain when she split off from Vivian. The difference between her and her source was too great.

"I'm here to see the Countess," the refined middle-aged man said without any fluctuation on his face, as if he hadn't heard Hesperide's words, "She is an elder, and I should do the courtesy of a junior. But the meeting environment you arranged... don't you have a proper reception room?"

The middle-aged man looked at the scenery in the main hall, and even his composure was a bit unsustainable. The remnants of yesterday's welcome banquet still remained here, making it clear at a glance that there had been a commotion here not long ago—well, to be clear, there was an Hesperide vampire lying on average every five meters, muttering nonsense. The gentlemen and ladies (at least in appearance) in formal attire were lying on the ground like a murder scene...

"Your family is simply the blood clan's..." A glamorous woman next to the middle-aged man twitched her lips and said half a sentence, but didn't dare to say the last few words.

"So what? We're very happy, and we're developing quickly," Hesperide grinned. "Anyway, the earliest people gathered here were all vagrants that your old families didn't want. Didn't you take the initiative to expel them back then? Now you want to control them?"

Hao Ren had already heard Hesperide babbling about her family history at the banquet yesterday. He knew how this strange vampire family had developed: as expected, anything related to Vivian's bloodline would not develop normally.

Hesperide's family was originally composed of vagrants.

Traditional old vampire families usually had strict rules, even small families with only a few dozen members in the sanctuary were no exception. They would expel members who violated the rules, and this happened often. Vampires who were expelled would lose the protection of the family, lose a stable source of livelihood, and be widely discriminated against. There were even no so-called regulations to protect them in this sanctuary—therefore, vagrants usually didn't live long, and even if they barely survived, no family would be willing to accept them again. This was a strange phenomenon for humans, but it was a very common thing for those who valued strange honor and恪守 ancient etiquette.

When Hesperide was first sent here by Vivian, she gathered such a group of people: because she had been wandering outside from the beginning, and then received Vivian-style abnormal education for a few years, she didn't pay any attention to the honor and disgrace of the orthodox blood clan. She found that some vagrants were actually not bad, so she gathered them to play together... well, at the beginning, it was just playing. She was still a child at that time.

Many vampire families were wary of the phenomenon of vagrants gathering, but no one dared to provoke this suddenly emerging child king—yes, no one dared to provoke her.

Because she was sent by the "Countess Who Summons the Red Moon," half of the ancient ones in this sanctuary, including the most资历 old Hesperus, were Hesperide's guardians, and because those ancient ones had lived for too long, and most of their families had been覆灭, their racial concepts were very淡薄. They didn't care about Hesperide's behavior at all. Since those old evil stars didn't care, of course others didn't dare to care.

At that time, people thought: Hey, an unbridled second-generation權熊 child is gathering a group of poor bugs to play house, she'll get tired of it in a few days, what big problem can arise?

Then this Xiong child led the poor bugs under her command and overturned all the vampire families except the Lucas family, in just three days.

These lunatics were hanging crosses and garlic all over their bodies, waving holy silver weapons and rushing out...

At that time, the people in the sanctuary were so scared that they peed their pants, they almost thought the demon hunters had broken in!
