Too slow!
Ever since Luo Yan disappeared into the alley with that pesky Enchanting Demon, quite so ti had passed, yet it remained quiet as ever with not a single sound. She wondered how her dear brother intended to deal with that Enchanting Demon. Grill it or boil it?
To be honest, she was starting to regret letting her brother handle it.
"...Enchanting Demons, definitely no good ones among them."
The more Vivian thought about it, the angrier and more aggrieved she beca. However, she didn't dare defy Luo Yan by rushing in to take a look, so she vented her frustration on an innocent street lamp.
"Bang!"
The black iron lamppost slightly dented under her "gentle" treatnt.
She was actually holding back.
Otherwise, with her strength as a Gold Level Vampire, even using just a tenth of her power, this lamp would have likely flown out like a cannonball, taking out the display windows of at least two shops.
Not far away, a goblin lamp-lighter cowered in a corner, not daring to approach, and could only hopelessly glance at the Demon guards across the street.
However, those Demon guards selectively ignored him and even deliberately walked further away, pretending to be busily tending to the street-side plants.
What Demons could be provoked, and which couldn't, they knew better than anyone.
Such mistakes were only made by complete rookies, and those rookies were usually on patrol in the outskirts and not eligible for the core area of Demon City.
Just as Vivian's anger was about to reach its peak, there was finally a commotion from the alley.
Her dear brother finally erged from it, accompanied by a shaless Enchanting Demon.
Vivian's previously tense brow instantly relaxed, and she let go of the slightly deford street lamp, rushing over to Luo Yan like a gust of wind and hugging his arm.
She leaned her little nose close and took a deep sniff—
Good!
No sll of Enchanting Demon!
Vivian instantly bead with satisfaction.
As a Vampire, she had absolute confidence in her sense of sll.
"What are you doing?" Luo Yan's brow twitched, and he tried to pull his arm back.
"I..."
Vivian looked at Luo Yan's retreating arm, her smile collapsing instantly, and it felt as if sothing heavy struck her heart. She pouted aggrievedly.
"It's not like it's my fault... you were gone so long, I... I was worried, alright?"
Luo Yan was silent for a mont and glanced at his pocket watch.
—Only five minutes had passed.
Feeling the murderous intent gradually closing in on her, Miss Isabelle instinctively hid behind Luo Yan. But as the murderous intent intensified, she reflexively jumped aside, trembling, and said.
"Miss Vivian... I've deleted the recording... I'm sorry! Really sorry! I... I shouldn't have fild you without permission..."
She sincerely apologized from the bottom of her heart.
Especially after learning from Luo Yan that this was the eldest daughter of the Colin Family, she was scared out of her wits.
The Abyss Tis wasn't backed by the official background of the Magic City Daily, and even the latter had to adapt when dealing with core families of Demon City.
For example, last year's Magic City Daily reported on the Dragon family's scandal with the Gate of Chaos, focusing mainly on well-known points. Rather than spreading rumors, they aid to settle the narrative and prevent wild speculation, focusing on the family head's unimportant, titleless brother.
Uncovering unknown conspiracies?
That's a quick way to get reborn.
Isabelle finally understood why her editor looked at her like a dead person. Although the Demon King of Thunder County wasn't overwhelmingly powerful, who knew if he was entangled with a powerful family?
With these thoughts, her legs trembled more.
Vivian didn't care much about her and wasn't as exaggerated as her wild imagination.
Seeing her heartfelt apology and realizing she indeed hadn't done anything with her brother, Vivian, though annoyed, let it slide.
"Alright, rember that, next ti, make sure to capture my good side if you want to take photos." Twirling a curl of her hair, Vivian muttered, looking to the side.
Isabelle awkwardly smiled.
There won't be a next ti.
This lesson would stick with her for life and throughout her career.
Luo Yan tucked the pocket watch back into his waistband, then looked at Vivian, lightly coughed, and said.
"Well, it's getting late. I believe you've had enough fun for today. Let's call it a day."
Not far away, the goblin lamp-lighter was gingerly climbing up the slightly tilted streetlamp with a ladder, taking out new coal from his basket to rekindle the dimly lit street with resplendent light.
Hearing Luo Yan's voice, Vivian quickly turned her head back and hurriedly said.
"Ah, um... we haven't gone to see Nanfu yet—"
eting Luo Yan's half-smiling gaze, Vivian suddenly rembered he had already seen through her lie, causing her face to flush.
"Next... next ti... I'll definitely take you there."
She genuinely wanted to introduce Luo Yan to her brother, but it was a pity Nanfu was too timid. The re ntion of eting his brother made him curl up like a hamster with an upset stomach, either crying of tummy ache or cramping legs, even inexplicably having back pain... In short, he was all problems from top to bottom.
