Su Chen rely glanced at her coldly: "You better pray I gain sothing from this trip, or else I'll deal with you."
For so reason, gazing into Su Chen's icy eyes, Liz chose to yield, sothing even she hadn't anticipated, for she was the eldest daughter of the Nopheler Family.
Since childhood, she had been pampered by many, and even the young talents from other families dared not disrespect her easily.
It was not only because she was the eldest daughter of the Nopheler Family, but also because she had a powerful father and a protective brother.
Yet it was also this environnt that had made this young lady thoroughly arrogant and domineering.
There was never anything she wanted to do that she couldn't accomplish.
No one dared to bully her, not even her father, the patriarch of the Nopheler Family, had ever scolded her, let alone laid a hand on her.
So now she felt endless grievances.
Now, even at her own doorstep, she dared not boast loudly, sothing that would drop many jaws if told.
"Miss, you're back." The elderly man dressed in typical Middle Ages housekeeper attire greeted Liz respectfully and warmly after she crossed the drawbridge and entered the grand entrance.
But Liz, in a very bad mood, had no ti to entertain him. She replied impatiently, "Where's that old man? Get him out here, we have a guest."
"Young mistress, the Marquis is resting, but your brother should be here. Should I call Lord Colin instead?" the housekeeper cautiously asked.
Liz's bad temper was famous far and wide, and as the housekeeper of the Nopheler Family, he was acutely aware of just how bad Liz's temper could be.
Upon hearing the housekeeper's words, rather than getting angry, Liz's eyes brightened: "Oh, by Satan, my brother is actually in this moldy tomb (castle)? Where is he? I need him now!"
"As you wish." The housekeeper was not weak himself; if classified according to the bloodline hierarchy, this seemingly easy-to-bully old housekeeper was actually a second-class Marquis!
But Liz forgot this fact; she only knew her father was strong and her brother was recognized as a genius by the Bloodline.
Either one should be able to lay Su Chen flat.
Moreover, she had already thought of how to sha and humiliate Su Chen after defeating him, to let him understand that a noble Bloodline is not to be sullied, and certainly not to be beaten!
The housekeeper of the Nopheler Family glanced at Su Chen and then turned into a bat before his eyes.
Su Chen witnessed the scene calmly without any ripple of curiosity.
Since he already knew this was a vampire's lair, there was nothing strange about a vampire turning into a bat.
Nonetheless, the old housekeeper of the Nopheler Family would evidently live longer, richer in life's experiences, and his gaze towards Su Chen was not friendly.
Although he was not clear about the relationship between Su Chen and Liz, it seed their interaction wasn't very amicable?
Although Liz's temper was terrible, it shouldn't reach the extent of being this frenetic.
Su Chen's eyes, moreover, were filled with indifference and a hint of vigilance.
All this made the old housekeeper suspicious.
However, one thing he could be sure of: Su Chen was not a Bloodline, nor did he belong to any special races.
He was a proper human.
Yet humans are typically food for Bloodlines, hardly any human could catch the Bloodlines' eyes unless they were granted an Initial Embrace, becoming a newly ascended Bloodline.
But such Bloodlines usually have an innate fear of pureblood Bloodlines.
True powerhouses disdain being given an Initial Embrace by Bloodlines, and even Bloodlines have to show sufficient regard and respect towards these powerhouses, treating them as equals.
The fact that Su Chen appeared capable of standing on equal footing with Liz inevitably made the old housekeeper think more deeply.
But he still went to summon Liz's brother, Colin Nopheler.
Colin Nopheler was Liz's brother, but he was two hundred years older than Liz.
Yet at under three hundred years of age, he achieved the status of a third-class Marquis, he could definitely be considered a talented young genius.
Because typically, a Bloodline would need at least five to six hundred years to be promoted to a Marquis, generally speaking, while Colin Nopheler took just half the usual ti other Bloodlines took to ascend to the third-class Marquis, couldn't this be labeled as genius?
Above Marquis lies the Duke.
But the difficulty of ascending to Duke far surpasses that of Marquis.
Generally, a first-class Marquis Bloodline needs fifteen hundred to two thousand years to beco a Duke.
This is when the Bloodline is pureblood, thus indicating that actually, improving Bloodline strength is not so easy.
The Bloodline's strength grows as ti passes, but a breakthrough in status needs a bit of serendipity.
Among Bloodline legends, there was once a Marquis strength Bloodline who instantaneously killed a Duke Bloodline.
This incident has always been considered mythical.
But few know that that Marquis Bloodline had stayed at the Marquis level for ten thousand years!
And the Duke he killed was just a third-class Duke.
Colin Nopheler has achieved the level of a third-class Marquis at just over two hundred years old.
Given the right resource support, Colin Nopheler might indeed beco a top Marquis at five hundred years old, and at eight hundred might have hope of becoming a Duke!
"Young Master Colin." The old housekeeper knocked on Colin Nopheler's door.
A handso, noble-looking young man suddenly sprang open his coffin lid.
"What is it?" The voice was lazy, as if nothing mattered to him.
"Young Master Colin, Miss Liz has returned."
"Oh? That girl is back? Is sothing the matter?" Colin's voice remained lazy, he's two hundred years older than Liz but spoils his sister terribly.
"She also brought back a guest, but that guest doesn't seem very friendly." The old housekeeper voiced his suspicions.
Colin Nopheler imdiately snorted coldly: "Co, let's see, who dares to be so presumptuous before my Nopheler Family!"
The Nopheler Family's status among Bloodlines is quite considerable.
As nobles within the Bloodline, typically any Bloodline encountering Nopheler Family mbers would show respect, even powerful Bloodlines, if not of noble birth, even as a Marquis, would need to show respect to a Nopheler Family Earl.
This is the benefit brought by a powerful family.
Colin Nopheler, as the young master of the Nopheler Family, plus he was recognized as a genius by the Bloodline, attracted even more submission towards him.
