Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System Chapter 146: Lily's Childhood Friend

Based on Lily's story, Sasha was a cheerful and kind girl. She was the type that would make a friend no matter where she went and turn any situation into a more cheerful one.

The only downside to her personality was that Sasha was too trusting and always gave people a chance.

When Blaire stopped pursuing Lily and then went after Sasha with his glib tongue, she quickly lted.

"Can you believe it? She still gave a chance to a man like Blaire. When he pursued , I did a lot of research on that bastard, and I knew a lot of things that he had done.

He was involved in many cris in this kingdom. I am sure his only goal in pursuing Sasha or is to get royalty status."

"Did you try to convince your friend?"

"Of course I did. Did you know what he does? Human trafficking, prostitution, casinos, sending money to gangs, kidnapping, loan sharking, illegal drugs... the list goes on and on.

But that man is just so slippery that no matter how much I look for it, I cannot find any conclusive evidence."

Hearing this, Alex frowned. If Blaire could evade the investigation of the Guardian captain, his influence would be huge.

This ans he has many high-ranking people in his pocket, and they prefer offending Lilly compared to him.

There are only two reasons Alex knows that could make this happen: they have a bigger benefit going with Blaire, or Blaire has sothing very detrintal to them, a blackmail material that could destroy their lives.

"So what happened next? You say she disappeared?"

"Yes, after getting married to him for just three months, she is nowhere to be found. Tell , don't you sll anything suspicious about it?

Look, I know Sasha. I can easily guess what happened. Blaire promised he would change, but Sasha found evidence he hadn't changed at all.

Then she threatened to make it public if he didn't surrender himself. Blaire got angry with it, then killed Sasha."

"Wait, Sasha is also a princess, right? Isn't she part of royalty? How could no one look after her then?"

"Legally, she is pronounced dead. After a year of searching without any results, Blaire just pulled his report. There's nothing the authorities can do then. They even held a funeral for her.

Can you believe it? I was really mad at that ti, but there was nothing I could do. And yes, she is my far cousin; she is still a princess; otherwise, Blaire won't get his noble status."

"Just what does a noble status bring for him to go that far for it?"

"For daily life, it won't give you many benefits, but there are many things only allowed for royalty.

For example, exclusive clubs or places, a few minister spots, access to buying weapons, and having a small army for himself.

Although the army is limited to only a dozen at most for those with a silver bangle, many still seek it; it's like a status symbol."

"Do they also get any immunity from the law?"

"Depending on the case, if it's a small matter, then yes. Most judges will also think twice before condemning a noble since they will gang up together and make the judge's life hard, except for a really big case with conclusive proof."

"I see. So, let get this straight. You suspect he has sothing to do with your friend's disappearance since she disappeared not long after their marriage, but there is nothing you can do?

Don't you try to put pressure on the investigator? With your position, I am sure it's easy."

"We ourselves may be immune to normal law, but it's not like we can do things as we please, Alex. Otherwise, I will honestly not think twice, skewering that man to death."

"Who can punish you other than Sentinel?"

"Well, only the Sentinel can take our position or when we are defeated in the tournant.

But if we do sothing too bad, the nobles can gather together and create a petition to make us lose our position."

Alex squinted his eyes. "You are still hiding sothing from , Lilly. That is not enough reason for you to not do anything.

Just like you said, despite the lack of conclusive evidence, there is still a lot of evidence pointing at him. So you still have many justifications to punish him.

What is really stopping you from doing that?"

Lilly hesitated; her lips quivered for a mont, but in the end, she stayed silent. This is her own problem; she doesn't want to bring strangers into it.

Alex tapped his finger on the table and then asked, "Is the captain who was hostile to before related to Blaire?"

"Based on what I know, nope."

"Hmm… it's fine if you don't want to tell , but let guess. Does he have sothing on your mother or brother? So kind of cri that is better not to be found out by anyone."

Seeing Lilly's expression, he knew his guess was not that far from the truth.

What happened between her and Blaire is none of his business, but Alex sohow felt that Blaire was planning sothing big; that's why Blaire felt wary of him before.

"How is Blaire's relationship with your father?"

"You an the king? I don't know now, but in the past, he was quite close with the king.

Even though the public doesn't know about this, I have seen them eting in private a few tis."

"Do you know what they were talking about?"

"I don't know."

"What kind of person is your father?"

"Is that important?"

"Well, I am just curious. You can answer if you want. If not, then don't."

Lilly turned silent; her mind started considering how to answer.

It's not that she doesn't want to tell Alex about his personality, but she doesn't know much about him. Despite being her biological father, she never really had an interaction with him.

While she was deep in thought, a black shadow enveloped them, followed by a voice.
