"That''s right, I''m Matthew. Beingte doesn''t tend to be my style, but it looks like I was a littlete this time."n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    Ray, who couldn''t believe his eyes, quickly stood up. "You really came back; didn''t they kill you? I survived by miracle that day; a bunch of powerful people showed up out of nowhere and almost killed me. I thought you were dead." As he said this, he remembered Alice. "What about Miss? Is she okay?" he asked.


    Matt nodded. "That''s right, Alice is just fine. She was recently named Student Leader of the Academy, and we are now engaged." He replied, bringing a twinkle to Ray''s dull eyes.


    No one knew when they hadst seen each other like this. "Congrattions, Matt! You must make her happy!" he replied sincerely, and Matt nodded.


    "That''s right; she''ll be happy. Why don''t we find a ce to talk?" Matt asked, and Ray quickly nodded, leading him to a nearby square where not many people walked at night.


    "It''s not a good ce, and it''s a little dirty, but I think it''s okay." Ray said though Matt didn''t care about those minor issues.


    "Eat; you must have strength for what I''m going to tell you," he said, and he made Ray eat quite a bit.


    Who knows how long it had been since he had eaten properly, but this time, he ate a lot of what Matt gave him. Plus, he drank real blood by the bucketload.


    Within 30 minutes, Ray Jowel looked refreshed. Even though he hadn''t bathed yet, the food and blood gave him a new glow.


    "That''s better. Tell me a little bit first; why were you like that? What happened?" Matt asked.


    Then Ray saw his eyes slightly darkened, but he nodded.


    "After I escaped from there, I tried to go back to the Academy, but the White Family and other powerful families threatened me with my wife..." Ray Jowel began to recount everything that had happened to him at that time.


    From running from side to side to taking his wife to safety, his whole life in thest 2 years seemed like hell. His power hadn''t increased at all in thest few years due to the fact that he barely had enough to eat.


    In the end, he smiled, "I don''t know what happened to the Whites, but I haven''t seen them anymore. I was thinking that if in two months I didn''t see them anymore, I would go back to my wife. I haven''t seen her in two years."


    Matt smiled. "Haha, you haven''t seen them anymore because the Whites were captured and exterminated. Neither the Whites nor their allies exist, so it''s normal that they don''t chase you anymore. Still, I''m sorry you got into trouble like this because of me; I apologize." He replied, startling Ray Jowel. Find exclusive content at empire


    "They were exterminated!?" he asked in shock, so Matt proceeded to exin everything that happened.


    "Unbelievable... I really didn''t know that. I see, so I''ve been running away in vain for so long... Haha, hahahaha..." He began tough good-naturedly; he looked happy.


    Only he understood the kind of weight that was lifted by that news, so only he could understand how happy he was at this moment.


    And afterughing for so long, he was pleased. "Matthew, thank you. I''ll go get my wife and introduce her to you." He said, standing up abruptly, wanting to run off right now, but Matt pulled him to sit down again.


    "Wait, I''m not done yet."


    "Is there still something else?"


    "Obviously. I came here because I want you to work for me. Do you want to know something? I''ve recently been appointed as the Next Leader of the Allen n. That''s right, of the most powerful Vampire n, to which Alice belongs."


    "What!?" He stood up abruptly again, but this time with a different motive. "The Leader of the Allen n?! Really?!" Anyone would find that hard to believe, but Ray was one of a kind.


    Instead of doubting it, he immediately started congratting him. "Hahahaha, that''s great, congrattions!" He said, looking so happy that he seemed to feel frantic happiness.


    But he suddenly realized that the person he was talking to had an amazing status, so he quickly apologized for his shout, though Matt spoke first.


    "Forget about that status. What I want to know is your response to being my subordinate. I will let you be one of the Leaders of my new territory. Of course, your family and your wife''s family cane too. Right now, I have the territories of the Whites and their allies, so I am sure you will have a lot to work, learn, and improve.


    By being leaders of those ces, you will all be able to train in the best ces and with the best resources."


    Ray was dumbfounded to hear this.


    "That...that does sound like a lie, Matthew." He said, sitting down once again.


    He could believe that he was the Leader of the Allen n, but this was already getting hard for him to believe.


    Matt smiled and pulled out several documents to show him. "You were very good at Academics back then, so I can let you go back to the Academy to finish your studies while you work for me and learn what you need to do."


    Ray Jowel looked at the documents and almost forgot to breathe. "You''re serious..."


    He looked up. "This... Are you serious? I don''t want to study anymore. I entered the Academy to protect my wife, but that ce doesn''t seem to be very reliable, and I don''t want to keep my wife hidden anymore, so I don''t need to go back to the Academy... But are you serious?


    This is hard to believe."


    Matt nodded. "Naturally, I''m serious."


    Although Ray Jowel was doubtful, he decided to believe Matt. "I''ll believe you. I will find my wife and tell her. I will also try to convince my inws toe with me. My family is no longer in this world, but they have been my family for many years, so I will bring them.


    Then you will tell us the same thing again, and if necessary, we will sign a lifetime contract." He was sincere and assertive; he did not want to miss such a good opportunity in case it was real.


    So he was sincere, as always.


    Matt nodded. "I''ll give you all this as a down payment for being my subordinate. Find your family ande to this city." He handed him a storage ring and a small map where it marked a ce to go. "Then we''ll talk again."


    After giving him all this, the two of them and I began to talk more openly.


    Ray seemed to have a lot to say, but a whileter, Ray Jowel ran to the ce where they rented flying boats to travel. He had a lot to say to his wife, and he longed to see her, so running there was paramount to him.
