373: Chapter 365 Swindler?

Even Old Mao, who had taken the espionage route, employed the method of his “spy” identity being accidentally exposed by a “bystander,” followed by a heated argument after ripping off his mask.

In short, each team had set up a grand performance for today’s operation: after such a long buildup, today was to be the climax and the perfect curtain fall.

Inside the territory, each Vampire had turned into an ordinary little turtle, each tied with a thin vine, lifted up to become six little turtle trinkets.

Their will as Vampires had temporarily vanished, leaving only their instincts as turtles.

Being tied up in their shells was uncomfortable, but their futile struggle only involved flailing limbs, and then they would just give up and lie there, tucked into their shells.

Now, only Sharon at Bruce Tavern and that Vampire named Jeffrey remained.

Jeffrey was also a Vampire that Nie Ying’s team was responsible for, but since he stayed in the tavern serving Sharon today, they hadn’t made a move against him.

At this moment, Liu Luoluo was still pretending to be a frightened little lamb, trembling as she and Zheng Jing joined Sharon and Jeffrey at a Mahjong table.

Losing miserably, she cried on the surface, while inside she was furiously roaring.

Damn Vampire, playing Mahjong so well on their first try, they must be cheating.

Lord, if you don’t send a message soon, I’m going to end up as good as trading myself away!

She was already a part of the moonlight clan, with poor Attributes and not much potential for Profession advancement.

Being a Priest made it hard to switch careers, so she was planning to work diligently at the Breeding Camp, happy for every day she could get.

That’s why she never thought about saving up to buy equipment or anything.

Only recently, because she wanted to buy a Fish Tail Potion and a Breathing Potion to try the experience of swimming underwater like a mermaid, did she begin to save money.

To keep Sharon distracted today, she made a bet with her to play Mahjong; if she lost a Gold Coin to Sharon, she would follow her out of the territory and be turned by her.

If Sharon lost a Gold Coin to her, she would no longer be able to lay a hand on her.

A single Gold Coin was already a huge amount, equivalent to 10000 copper coins.

And with Zheng Jing feeding her cards from the side, she was still losing so badly!

Finally, she saw Nie Ying enter the tavern and give her the long-awaited signal.

Liu Luoluo looked at the awful hand she held and decisively chose to flip the table, “No more, I refuse to believe my luck is this bad; you must be cheating!”

“You have to honor a bet, little sister!” Sharon maintained her graceful demeanor without getting angry.

“I don’t care, Jingjing, let’s go!” Liu Luoluo said, trying to pull Zheng Jing away, but Jeffrey, who stood up, blocked their path.

“Get out of my way!” Liu Luoluo kicked him, landing her foot on Jeffrey’s shiny leather shoes.

Since he had bumped into them, she would push him out first, remembering Mu Ying’s advice to try to stagger the Vampires’ expulsions, the longer the interval, the better.

This footstep hit Jeffrey’s sore spot; he was a nitpicky germaphobe.

Even with Sharon by his side, he couldn’t hold back, and his hand reached out to grab Liu Luoluo’s neck.

Just when Liu Luoluo felt she was about to complete half of her mission, her hand was held down by Sharon, “Don’t be so rude to the young lady, Jeffrey.

She will be your sister in the future.”

Ugh!

Your sister my foot!

If one footstep didn’t do it, go for another, channeling the innocent flower, “Ah, I’m sorry, I accidentally stepped on you again!”

Jeffrey really wanted to twist her neck with one claw; what was so good about this rude human woman?

Even if she became one of them later, he couldn’t stand such a disrespectful companion, but Sharon’s will made it impossible for him to disobey.

Such is the sorrow of vampires.

Seeing that he restrained himself, Liu Luoluo couldn’t help but feel a bit sorry.

Shifting the target, she started to needle Sharon, “Look at him, his eyes are almost killing me, but because of you, he doesn’t dare to make a move.

If you turn me into a vampire, do I have to live like this too?”

“Aren’t you living like this now?

As long as humans are alive, they will be bound by their livelihood.

In this territory, do you dare to defy your Lord?

But after becoming a vampire, only I can bind you,” said Sharon.

Her prey, both before and after death, would have to submit to her willingly.

Whether coerced into a corner by her formidable strength or seduced by her persuasion, they had to offer their necks voluntarily.

“Not at all!

I’m now a worker with an iron rice bowl; the Lord is just the boss.

If you do your job well, what boss cares about your private matters?

We have an employment relationship, it’s not that I can’t defy her, I just don’t want to and don’t need to defy her.

But for you and Jeffrey, it’s a master-servant relationship; he can’t defy you.”

Liu Luoluo wore an expression that read ‘don’t take me for a fool’: “If you dare, let him try to break your control and give me a claw.”

Come on, big brother, don’t hesitate!

Sharon remained unmoved.

Liu Luoluo had to admit that Sharon’s composure was truly exceptional.

But that was not enough to stump Liu Luoluo.

If subtlety didn’t work, then she’d confront the issue head-on with reverse psychology.

“You’re not afraid that if he claws me, you’ll be thrown out of the territory and have to pay a fine, are you?

Has your family fortune depleted so quickly?

That doesn’t match the grand image you showed before!

Can you even afford to feed another vampire?

Here, in this place, the Lord still pays me a salary.

Do I have to work for you for free?

Exactly, that’s what I thought.

I’ve figured it out today, your financial situation must be really bad, otherwise, you wouldn’t cheat at cards, and you wouldn’t be reluctant to pay the fine.

If you’re thinking about swindling my money, you’ve got it wrong.

Although I earn a decent wage, I’m part of the moonlight clan; I have no savings!”

Zheng Jing, serving as a backdrop, was floored by Liu Luoluo’s God-like logic.

But finally, she found her chance to interject, “Luoluo, you actually did this to test them?

You’re not seriously considering becoming a vampire, are you?

Otherwise, why would you specifically test their true financial status?

Don’t get fooled by them!”

At this moment, players in the tavern who were enjoying the show had a kind of ‘sudden realization’ – no wonder Liu Luoluo was so aggressive today, destroying cards and stepping on people’s feet; she wanted to test the vampire’s financial status.

Sharon, reminded by Zheng Jing’s words, realized her intention, “You’re overthinking it.

Today, I’ll show you how rich we are.

The wealth accumulated over our long lifespans is beyond your imagination.”

After saying that, she made a gesture to Jeffrey, “Give our Miss Luoluo a demonstration of our financial power.

After you go out, come back quickly.

Do it a few times, to show Luoluo enough.”

With Sharon’s approval, Jeffrey’s hand immediately pinched toward Liu Luoluo’s neck.
