Chapter 101 101 – Plan Commence

In the end, the Vampire lord, Grigori, didn't return to his base until morning. So he left a message to the bunny-costumed vampire to relay that he had come to visit Grigori last night.

Kai decided to leave after dawn arrived, and Robert also returned to his hotel to prepare to move. He needed to tell his wife and tidy his luggage before moving.

The plan they talked about had been prepared. Using Robert's connection to some shady Vultures, they got the thing they needed at a low price of $20,000.

And thankfully, the item would arrive soon, and he would be able to use it immediately.

When Kai returned to his hotel room, Amber was already out investigating the Dragon King, and he was only greeted by Ibaraki Douji, who wore her loose black Kimono. 𝙛𝘳𝘦e𝓌e𝗯n𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝚘𝑚

"Welcome back, Master." She smiled softly. "How is your talk with the Vampire lord?"

"Grigori isn't in his base." He replied, walking toward the bed and sitting on it, facing Ibaraki. "But I already have a plan on my own. Say, Ibaraki. Do you mind if I ask you to do something?"

The plan he talked about with Robert. It was a hasty and rough plan, but he was sure that it would succeed in bringing the result he wanted.

For that plan, he needed Ibaraki's cooperation.

It could also have been Amber, but that would be too dangerous. The Phoenix girl's Spirit Power was easy to detect, and she had no sensitive senses like Ibaraki.

What he needed in this plan was someone with sensitive senses, and Ibaraki Douji was the perfect choice that he ended up choosing.

"Of course not, Master!" She immediately beamed. "Instead, I will be happy to follow your order. Please leave it to this Ibaraki Douji! Even if I am lacking, I will do my best to meet your expectations!"

"Good. While we are waiting for Robert and the item we ordered, I will tell you my plan."

"Yes!"

He then explained his plan to Ibaraki Douji. Her expression was serious as she listened to him, nodding her head a few times to show that she understood her assignment.

Of course, he didn't forget to tell her that this plan must be kept a secret from anyone else, even Liliana. He didn't want the daughter of Grigori to know about his plan as he couldn't trust her yet.

Then when he arrived at the most important part of the plan, Ibaraki's eyes widened, but she still listened seriously. Finally, he finished his explanation as he felt Robert had arrived with his wife at the entrance of the hotel.

"Did you understand, Ibaraki?"

"Yes, Master. Please leave it to me. I will carry out your order with all my abilities."

"Thank you. I trust you with that."

"Yes!"

Inside, Ibaraki was really happy that Kai had left such an important task to her. Her lips curled up, creating the biggest smile she ever had.

'Master trusted me. I don't want to disappoint him and will carry this out perfectly!'

And they began to prepare their plan with Robert, who brought the item they needed. Rebecca, Robert's wife, was still afraid of Kai, but she didn't try to evade him.

***

The preparation of the plan he had in mind finished without a problem. A few minutes later, Liliana arrived at the hotel, and Kai went downstairs to meet her.

He wore a long-sleeved black shirt with a black tie and black pants. His black hair was slicked back, and he wore a black mask to cover the lower half of his face.

When he arrived at the hotel lobby, he noticed Liliana standing near the entrance. She noticed him and turned to him.

"You're here, Ruler." The Vampire girl greeted him and bowed a little. Her arrogant behavior was nowhere to be seen due to her respect toward Kai grew from his display of power yesterday. "What should we do today?" She asked.

Kai stopped in front of her and looked around. He noticed a few vampires in the lobby. Five, to be exact.

Noticing his gaze, Liliana turned to the vampires who were in black suits standing around the lobby and said, "They are the manpower my father entrusted to you. They will move according to your order while the others who aren't here will gather information about the Boogeymen."

"I see." Kai nodded as he turned back to Liliana. "Can they fight? Compare them to a 3-meter tall Malice so I can understand their strength." He asked curiously.

Liliana grinned at her question, seeming to be a little bit proud as she declared, "They are decent. If they fought against 3-meter tall Malice, then each of them would be able to defeat one in a 1v1 fight under 1 minute."

'5 minutes, huh?' Kai thought, whistling in amazement.

Defeating 3-meter tall Malice in under a minute was quite a feat. Even when he fought one for the first time, he needed more than a minute to defeat it. Well, that was mainly because he had a low Spirit Power at that time and still didn't understand his power.

However, defeating such a tall Malice in under a minute meant they at least had the strength equal to a red Oni, the fighter Oni from Oni Village. And the red Onis were said to have similar strength to an experienced Slayer.

"They're not so bad then." He said. "Then, can they defeat a Jack-o'-lantern?"

"That's…"

When Kai asked that, Liliana had a complicated expression. She glanced at them before turning back to Kai.

"Jack-o'-lantern is like our natural enemy, so it will be a rather hard fight."

"But they can protect themselves, right?"

"Yes," Liliana confirmed with a nod. "They can defend themselves." She looked at the vampires who stood around, and her golden eyes flashed a dangerous glint, gesturing to them that they should be able to protect themselves from Jack-o'-lanterns. 𝒇r𝙚𝙚𝓌𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜𝘷𝗲𝘭.c૦𝑚

The five vampires knew that the daughter of the Vampire lord was selfish and a bit arrogant. When they noticed her gesture, they shuddered. They knew that they would be killed if they messed up or didn't live up to her expectations.

Kai didn't know about that as he didn't fully understand how the vampire society worked or about Liliana's personality.

"Then, that's enough."

He only thought that Liliana only used her authority as the vampire Princess to confirm that her subordinates could protect themselves from the Jack-o'-lantern.

Also, what she would do to her subordinate wasn't of his concern. He only needed them to collect information for him.

"Let's go. I want to check the previous mountain to search for a clue again."

"That mountain where we met the Jack-o'-lantern?" The Vampire girl asked, to which Kai replied with a nod. "Should we run toward the mountain?"

He nodded at her question, "Yes. We will run."
