Something seemed to have snapped inside Morningstar. Despite always being a man who wore a smile regardless of danger or insult, this time he genuinely looked as though he had reached his limit. What his subordinate had said had gone too far. The man hadn't merely tried to force him into making a decision. He had questioned him, challenged him, and openly implied that he was weak. Evangeline couldn't tell which offense had angered Morningstar more, but whatever it was, it had clearly struck a nerve.For a brief moment, Morningstar simply stood there staring at the man on the ground. Then he slowly raised a hand toward him. Almost immediately, something akin to a sphere of black energy began gathering above his palm. Darkness swirled and compressed together, twisting into a mass so dense that even Evangeline could feel the pressure radiating from it. The atmosphere inside the cave became heavier. The shadows around them seemed darker. Morningstar was going to bring that same hand down

In the end, there was no defense she could make for her escape. Whether a strange creature had accidentally helped her or whether she hadn't originally intended for things to unfold that way no longer mattered. The truth remained the same. From the very beginning, she had already made up her mind to leave the mansion. Last night's incident had merely given her the opportunity she had been waiting for, a stroke of luck that had arrived just as suddenly as it disappeared. No matter how she tried to explain it, she had taken that chance without hesitation.Resigning herself to her fate, Jane slowly lifted her head from the floor before meeting Victor's eyes with a surprisingly calm expression. "So... what is your punishment?"Victor blinked, almost caught off guard by how quickly she had accepted the situation. "You're giving up?""I can't run away, I can't fight against you, and I can't disobey you," she replied matter-of-factly. "I don't think I have any other choice but to give up."I

The place they arrived at was a towering building that resembled an ancient church. Its walls were almost entirely black, not because they had been painted that way, but because countless years had stained the stone until its original color had long since disappeared. Cracks stretched across the aged surface while vines clung stubbornly to the walls, making the entire structure appear older than anything Jane had ever seen. The building rose so impossibly high that no matter how much she tilted her head upward, she still couldn't make out its highest point. It simply disappeared into the sky above. Looking at its overwhelming height, Jane couldn't help thinking that if anyone were unfortunate enough to fall from the very top, there would be no hope of surviving. Death would be the only possible outcome."What is your business here?"The deep voice startled her enough to make her jump.A massive man had suddenly stepped in front of the entrance without her even noticing his approach. H

"The headquarters."The simple answer made Jane blink. That was it?Before she could ask for clarification, Victor smiled, his grin quirking upward in that annoyingly smug way she had come to recognize."Anything else you'd like to ask me?"Seeing him continue walking, Jane quickly followed after him. Her brows remained suspiciously furrowed as she studied the back of his head."You'll answer all my questions?"Victor shrugged. "Who knows? You can always give it a try.""Then why are you being nice to me today?" Jane asked immediately.Victor chuckled. "I was thinking of ways to stop you from escaping again. After some thought, I realized something." He tilted his head slightly. "Wouldn't you say that as long as I don't scare you, working under me is practically a blessing from Heaven itself?"He said it with the proud confidence of someone completely convinced he was right.Annoyingly...He was.If Victor wasn't such an eccentric man who valued excitement and adrenaline more than oth

Arnold was brimming with delight as he paced back and forth, unable to hide the excitement bubbling inside him. Every few steps he would clasp his hands together before separating them again, as though his thoughts were running much faster than his legs could keep up."Don't you know, young master, a brain is the most complex organ in anyone's body. People often praise the heart for emotions or the muscles for strength, but in truth, the brain commands everything. Every movement, every memory, every pain, every fear, every instinct to survive. Would you believe it that there are people whose body strength could become much stronger and more powerful just because their brain believed so?"Victor crossed his arms and hummed thoughtfully. "What a fun idea. Do you mean that a human can turn into a vampire if their brain believed that they are one?""Not quite," Arnold answered with an amused chuckle. "The belief itself has to remain within the boundaries of what the body could possibly ac
