Vampire's Slice Of Life

Chapter 428 Angry Lith

"...It is time to retreat."

All the members of the Shadow River Sect fell silent upon hearing Wan's depressing words.

Even Lith was the same. He couldn't believe that the war was stopped abruptly and Wan just ordered people to retreat.

'Why?' He thought to himself as he looked around.

Having no clue about what's going on, he called Luna and asked softly, "What is happening?"

"Your Highness, it seems that the CNC has removed the conflict zone status of Redstone City. If there's no such status present, people can no longer fight in this region." Luna's voice rang in Lith's ears. Though he was not able to see her, he was clearly able to hear her.

"Why did they remove this status? Wasn't everything going fine?" Lith asked.

"My apologies, I do not know the reason. Should I go investigate this matter, Your Highness?" Luna asked.

Lith clicked his tongue as he realized even Luna didn't know. "No. Don't go investigate. There's no need."

After Lith said so, his expression became really serious.

The crowd on the battlefield soon broke their silence. They started sending out frenzied questions towards Wan and the silent battlegrounds became noisy.

As for the ones from the Senzal Clan, they didn't ask any questions and silently retreated.

Lith, who had a serious expression, thought to himself while standing in the middle of the battlefield, 'The CNC huh…'

'Last time they fired my wife from her job and although it was solved and Arya does not think much of it, I haven't forgotten about it. I was there when it happened.'

'It's not just that…'

Thinking about the CNC made Lith's mood plummet. He clenched his fists with anger and a frown formed on his face.

'...Even Emilia was bothered.'

Lith's eyes glowed with a vicious glint as he recalled the days of his academy as well as Emilia complaining about Eric and the CNC.

At that time when Emilia was complaining about Eric, she was just venting out some stress. She had no idea that one day Lith would become her husband and care for her so deeply.

Had she known, she wouldn't have complained and made her husband worried over nothing. But the words were already spoken and Lith remembered them. He wasn't the least bit happy with how CNC dealt with things.

Lith turned to look up and saw officials from the national security still standing there. He then asked softly, "What's their rank, Luna?"

"Half Kings, all of them, Your Highness." Luna's calm voice resonated in his ears.

"I see." Lith nodded lightly. He then sighed and said, "It's a pity that I am not their match."

Lith then walked a step forward and cracking his neck, he continued:

"But it's even more pitiful that these guys would die…" Lith's purple eyes shone with a tinge of red. "...by the hands of a Rank 9 mortal."

Swoooooshhhh

Lith went into the air and teleported straight towards the ten officials.

Standing in front of them, he smiled and waved. "Yo! Are you guys done with your work?"

The officials looked at Lith with a calm gaze. They could make out that he was coming towards them and although he approached at a fast speed and greeted them, they had no idea why he would do that and were confused.

"You are…?" One of the officials asked Lith.

Lith smiled and said, "I asked a question first, right?"

Another man answered Lith with a tone of superiority, like educating a child. "Our job isn't done. Until everyone leaves, we will stay here."

"Why are you answering his question?"

"It's our duty." The man said simply to his co-worker.

Clap! Clap!

"What a dutiful man. Now, I've got another question. Why was the war stopped?" Lith had a bright smile on his face as he asked this.

"It's confidential information. We cannot answer. And you should leave this place as well." The official replied.

"I see. Then I guess you are choosing the option to stay silent, am I right?" Lith asked again with a smile on his face.

The man nodded. "That's right. Silence it is. Now could you please leav–"

Lith smiled widely and cutting off the man's words, he charged towards him with a punch and said, "then how about you guys stay silent…"

BOOM!

"...forever."

A mighty pressure descended down on the ten guys as Lith charged towards the man and punched him in the face.

The man's face was disfigured and the other officials fell to their knees. They didn't fall down to the ground as there was some force keeping them up in the air.

Lith's leg was on top of the chest of the man he just punched. The punch was so strong that the man wasn't able to retaliate at all. He lay down like a corpse beneath Lith's foot.

Lith looked at the other people and said, "Now tell me, why was the war stopped? If I don't get a proper answer then…"

BURST!

The man's body beneath Lith exploded and he was killed in a gruesome manner. His blood and organs splattered on the bodies of the remaining officials and they shivered with rage and fear upon seeing their companion's death.

One of the officials standing close to Lith pointed his finger at him and said in a slightly trembling tone, "Y-you… do you know what you've done?"

Lith looked at the guy as if he was an idiot and calmly replied, "killed him, obviously."

The man was stunned by the answer. He was too shocked to say anything upon hearing the reply. Ignorance was one thing but this… what could this be even called?

"You've killed an official from the national security forces of Uklov. An important person of a division under CNC. By killing him, you've committed the crime worthy of extermination. The CNC will leave no stone unturned to punish you, no matter which part of the world you go to." An official explained with incredulousness, thinking Lith did not understand the consequences of his actions.

Lith smiled and walked towards an official close to the guy who just answered, Lith said, "is that so?"

"Then…"

Lith held the hair of the official and pulled at his head with great force.

"AHHHHhhh...hh…h... . . ."

The official screamed from the pain. But soon the pain disappeared and so did his scream. As his head separated from his body, signs of life disappeared from his eyes as well.

Blood spurted out and dyed the face of the man who said Lith made an enemy of the CNC. The man's body trembled as another one of his companions died so easily.

Lith smiled looking at him and continued his words, "...then come to Nightingale whenever you want."

"The Royal Castle to be precise."
