<h4>Chapter 318 Enemy or Friend</h4>


    Dropping the teleporter in front of us, Ste starts circling it.


    "It''s pretty outdated... It might cease to function midway, though," Ste lets out, worry evident on her face.


    Even Ste could tell that this teleporter is outdated, huh...


    "It''s working perfectly. You know, the celestial monkeys don''t leave theirs like other races, which makes us not care much about teleporters," Commander Ln exins and taps a button on the teleporter.


    The teleporter lets out a small buzz and slowlyes to life. However, no portales off because the destination hasn''t been set.


    "Arrr....ahem, I don''t know the destination code for the red, do you mind checking it out?" Commander Ln requests, looking towards me while scratching his head.


    "Wait, it runs on code? What the actual fuck... New teleporters use the name of thes to target locations and are also equipped with other functions," I exin to Commander Ln.


    "Well.... I already exined to you, maybe I should ask the prime minister for the destination code," Commander Ln suggests, prepared to move away.


    "Wait, I can use this type of teleporter," Ste suddenly asserts.


    "Wait, what?" I ask, surprised.


    "You know in my father''s barn, there''s a simr teleporter to this that uses destination code. Besides, since I have been on the red for a while, I know the code. It''s 3489XXFHB," Ste exins.


    "Haaaa~" Arthur and I let out a voice at the same time while we exchange a nce of horridness.


    "Master, just trust me this once, I am not actually stupid in everything," Ste ims with a confident expression.


    "Alright, give it a try," I say with a defeated sigh while Arthur swallows a mouthful of saliva.


    "We might end up on an asteroid," Arthur grumbles under his voice, cursing his luck.


    With a smile, Ste walks forward towards the teleporter and starts inputting the digits. Abruptly, the center of the teleporter lights up with a red sh as the portal to the red appears.


    Seeing Ste''s small achievement, I begin to p for her, and Arthur also joins me. Gogo doesn''t hesitate to imitate our actions.


    "You are going to reward me, master," Ste says with a giggle.


    "Of course, I''ll reward you," I assure her with a small grin.


    "Alright, time to go," I say to the members as we start holding each other''s hands.


    The first person to enter the teleporter is Ste, followed by Arthur and then me.


    Taking in the effects of the teleporter, we begin to materialize in a warp station on the vampire. However, a jaw-dropping scene happens.


    The moment we arrive, several des press on our necks. Arthur and Ste want to draw their swords, but I stop them by waving my hand.


    Looking up, I see several vampires around the lord stage, donned in powerful armor and weapons from top to bottom. Armor that seems to be made from demon-rank beasts. Not only that, their aura transcends that of vampire lords.


    _________________________________


    Inside a vast, dpidated room resembling an abandoned space with cobwebs and insects hanging around, several vampire lords are seated on chairs that appear to be on theirst legs. Among them is Zero, the vampire warlock whose real name is Hector.


    All eyes are fixed on a particr person seated adjacent to them on a throne full of cobwebs, situated on a concrete tform higher than where the vampire lords are seated.


    "So, tell me... None of you could do what I asked you to do, huh...?" The vampire sitting on the throne demands in a deep, terrifying voice, instilling terror into the hearts of everyone present.


    "Answer me, Bryce!" The figure asks, his eyes glowing red.


    Bryce, typically calm and fearful, now trembles in front of this figure, a strange forbidden liquid flowing down his pants.


    "S-Sir... We tried our best, but your son is just too powerful for us. He sabotaged all our ns. I... It''s like he took after you," Bryce exins with a stutter, his skin turning paler with each passing second.


    Hearing Bryce''s words, the figure keeps silent and doesn''t say anything, his eyes glowing even brighter red.


    "My son.... Wait... Give me all the details I need to know," The figure requests.


    "Y-Yes, sir... Before the king went to slumber, he nominated your son as the crown prince and ordered the coronation ceremony once hees of age. When the time came, your son showed up as expected, but we stood up and stopped the coronation, on the condition that he needs to prove himself during the world''s strongest tournament."


    "Everything was going ording to n. However, during the tournament, he disyed unparalleled talent and power. Even the most talented vampires of this generation could not touch him. In fact, it was once revealed that he won a match against Zamira while he was still at the noble stage. He is a tyrant that won''t hesitate to kill us if he realizes what we are after. L-Let''s not talk about Alphonso; he came out of nowhere and woke the king from his slumber," Bryce continues exining everything to the figure.


    Suddenly, the figure bursts into a loudugh that resounds throughout the whole room.


    "I just have one question... From your perspective, do you really think he''s my son?" The figure asks, a wild aura swirling around him.


    "I... I think he''s the protoss. That crazy amount of power is out of this world," Bryce answers.


    "I see... My son would never lust after his own mother or sister. And even went as far as lusting after his aunt. That deed can not be none other than the reincarnation of the perverted protosss. In the first ce, that bitch never liked me despite my love for her. Moreover, I see the reason why the king asked for our kids to be born through artificial methods; I was only used as a pawn. But... I don''t care about the protoss; he can''t have his full power yet." The figure says with a smile on his face.


    "Bryce, give one pill each to all the men you''ve gathered," The figure says, tossing a jar containing small red pills.
