Victoria and Lily stood in silence, their hearts racing with a mix of fear and curiosity. After a moment, Victoria gathered her courage and spoke, “Alexander, we appreciate your trust in us, but we need some time to process this. The Book of Eden holds immense power and knowledge, and we’re not sure if we’re ready for it.”Alexander nodded understandingly. “I respect your decision. Take all the time you need. The book has been here for centuries; it can wait a little longer.”Relieved by his response, Victoria and Lily excused themselves from the cave and returned to the party. As they mingled with the guests, they couldn’t shake off the feeling of unease. The Book of Eden was a significant discovery, but it also posed a potential danger.Later that night, as they lay in their room, Victoria and Lily discussed their options. “We need to be cautious,” Lily said. “The book could hold secrets that are better left undiscovered.”Victoria nodded in agreement. “But it could also hold answer
Liam's heart raced as he waited for Alex at the edge of the dense forest. The fading sunlight cast long shadows, creating an eerie scene. They had entered the forest to investigate a series of mysterious deaths that had recently terrorised the area. Five men had died in mysterious circumstances within a month, all in this forest.His mind was filled with thoughts of what they might find and his anticipation grew. Just as he was lost in thought, the quiet silence was broken by the sound of laughter and splashing water. His attention was immediately drawn to the lake at the heart of the forest.Suddenly, two charming figures emerged from behind the trees, their beauty enhanced by the twilight. Seductively dressed, they exuded a carefree confidence that seemed incompatible with the gloomy mood. The attractiveness of the two women could not be ignored, and their presence seemed almost unreal.midd"Hey, handsome," one of them whispered, her voice like a melody that sent shivers down Liam's
It had been an hour since Alex had been alone in his favourite bar. Liam, who had been enjoying himself with the ladies inside, had literally left Alex alone. In a dark and destructive corner of the old cracked bar, Alex Thornfield sat in solitude, his piercing blue eyes brooding over the boisterous crowd. Soft shadows of candlelight highlighted his handsome features, creating a sharp contrast between darkness and light. The bright spotlight accentuated his slightly tousled black hair, adding a glint of mystery to the seemingly serene face. From her carefully concealed position, she watched the crowd around her. People were engrossed in heart-warming conversation, laughing and enjoying the joy of the night. Soft music played in a melodious yet soothing way, immersing everyone even more in the activities of the moment. But despite the colourful, laughter-filled atmosphere, Alex's piercing blue eyes never lost their sensitivity to danger. Like an ever-watchful eagle eye, Alex watched
The next day, the first rays of sunlight chased away the shadows of night that had settled in the sky. The city, once a dark mystery, was now illuminated by the flickering neon lights of the streets and pavements. It was at this moment that Alex Thornfield and Liam Callahan walked side by side through the streets, buzzing with life and light. Both were walking in silence, as if busy with the business in their own minds. Although they work for the same detective agency, their jobs are very different. If Liam takes care of all cases involving people, Alex is the opposite. He deals with all matters relating to invisible beings. Perhaps because of their contrasting fields of work, their appearances are also contrasting. As always, Alex looks mysterious with his long black coat draped over his legs. The fedora hat he wears adds to his enigmatic aura, making him look like a character from a classic film noir. The amber light from the street lamps bounces off the surface of his coat, creati
"What is going on? Is this demon in front of me much more than the ones I usually meet?" Alex said to himself. His alertness increased. Not only did Alex have to think about how to drive this creature out of its true form, he also had to think about how to erase the memories of Liam and the restaurant owner once everything was done. If they remembered everything, Alex's secret could be revealed. The waiter looked at Alex intently, his gaze almost piercing the soul, and seemed to say, "Oh! I recognise you now. You're the half-human, half-vampire creature? You're not my opponent, little snot-nosed boy! Stay away from this place. This is not your fight. Stay out of my way! Or I will be forced to slaughter rare creatures like you!" Alex gave a wry smile! His heart always felt offended when an astral being made fun of him. What if he was half human and half vampire? Did he ask for that? No, he did not! It had been that way since he was born. He himself did not know whether his mother was
As night falls, the city is wrapped in a silent darkness. Deep beneath the bustling streets lies an unseen world that most cannot perceive. Alex moved through the dimly lit tunnels that wind under the city, leading to a secret destination known only by those who dwell in the shadows. Although Alex's mind was buzzing with countless questions regarding his encounter with the astral creature, he couldn't ignore the summons from the lords of the night. He knew that a part of him also belonged to them. His eyes kept darting back and forth, unable to resist the tension and excitement inside the secret chamber. As a highly perceptive being, Alex was acutely aware of the charged atmosphere. A multitude of vampires inhabited a dimly lit gathering, with only candlelight revealing their uniquely shaped features. Murmurs of their desires, laden with undisclosed intentions and aspirations, emerged softly like the gentle night breeze. Amidst the commotion, Alex sat as a guest, serene and poised.
Time passes and the human victims continue to fall. But Alex still hasn't found out who the bloodthirsty vampire really is. What clan was he really from? Was he from the ancient vampire clan? Or a rival clan? If the vampire was from the Ancient Vampire Clan, Alex somehow doubted it. The Ancient Vampire Clan was a respectable vampire clan that had coexisted with humans for hundreds of years. Even when Alex appeared in this world, it had already been that way. It seemed unlikely that they were behind all these murders. On the contrary, the rival vampire clan's wild and unruly behaviour had led Alex's thoughts to them. Moreover, their leader's obnoxious attitude - accusing the ancient leader of the vampire clan - really made Alex suspicious. Alex also marked the rival vampire clan in his notebook. "Don't let my hunch be right," he muttered and closed the book. Amidst the AC and DC electricity running through Alex's brain, Alex's doorbell suddenly rang. "Isn't that Evelyn Stirling?" th
Night falls slowly, plunging the city into darkness. Alex and Liam stood at the door of the dark and silent art gallery. The overcast sky hid the moon and stars, adding a mysterious atmosphere to the night. The two men looked at each other, trying to hide the slight nervousness in their eyes. "Can I get out of here?" Liam asked in a hesitant tone. Alex shook his head, "It's too late to back out!" he said, actually regretting taking on this case. Somehow his instincts told him that the creatures playing here were not on the same level as the ones he was used to dealing with before. Especially after the case in the restaurant the other day, when he had been confronted with a supernatural creature with strong energy, Alex was even more cautious in his search. With cautious steps, Alex and Liam slowly opened the heavy gallery door. An atmosphere of silence and stillness greeted them as they entered the room. Their breathing was clearly audible in the stillness of the night. The flashlig
