As the sight captures the view of an ancient Gothic castle, the eerie and mystical structure appeared like a buried treasure, inviting people to explore its secrets.

At the end of the dim and long corridor, there was a room surrounded by crimson curtains on all sides. There was no light, not a single gap as if it were a wrapped-up house.

Wide and desolate, pitch black and pale.

In the middle of the room stood a coffin draped in mid-air by a crystal-carved marble pedestal. The coffin lid was adorned with a silver plaque embellished with red roses. On the plaque, there were several powerful and resolute characters engraved -

Angell. Prince Totalli.

……

As the sun descended in the west, its rays illuminated the fading red glow on the crimson curtain. After an elapsed moment, the darkness of silence was restored.

The coffin suddenly shook violently, then slowly opened, revealing a pale and enchanting face.

Silver hair flowed smoothly and spread out in the coffin, accompanied by Western deep-set features. Countless long eyelashes naturally outlined a thin eyeliner. Thin lips were as red as blood, embellishing the fair skin. It was hard not to feel astonished, as if Snow White herself couldn't compare.

The lashes of the person in the coffin moved slightly, signaling the imminent moment of awakening.

"Lord Angell," a room that was originally empty suddenly had an old man in butler attire appear. He respectfully bowed and, with a calm but pleasantly surprised tone, exclaimed to the person in the coffin, "You have finally awoken!"

"Umm..."

An inviting syllable was emitted from those lips as red as fresh blood. The man sat up from the coffin, squinting his eyes as he lazily looked around his surroundings.

An empty room with dark green stone bricks, covered in dust, filling every corner, mixed with a lingering dampness that had not been cleaned in years.

The man's eyes darkened and he coldly snorted, "How dilapidated."

"Lord Angell, you have been asleep for too long," the old man sighed wistfully. "Times have changed, it is now the 21st century, and the era of the vampires has long passed."

"21st century?" The man sneered with a tone of contempt, "Dominant of which race?"

"Replying to Your Excellency, it's humans..."

"Human beings? Ha! What is there for mere humans to fear!" A glimmer of ignited flames in his eyes, confidence and ambition intertwined, making his already enchanting and handsome face even more radiant.

"But..."

"No, there isn't!" a stern voice interrupted the old man, "Old Jack! Prepare the castle, for it will soon become the temple of the king!" As soon as the words fell, a sea of darkness surged forward, blurring Old Jack's vision. Hastily, he reached out, trying to stop something, but in just a few seconds, the dust settled, and before his eyes, all that remained was an empty coffin, with wilted petals scattered everywhere, devoured by darkness.

There are rare moments in the summer sunlight like this, hazy and not intense or scorching. The faint breeze, sneaking through the gaps of the shining rays, carries a hint of spring that has yet to fade away, giving a refreshed and clear feeling.

Breaking through the barriers of time, Angell arrived in the present world only to realize that something seemed a bit off...

He is very small, and he is flying.

The humans in Lao Jieke's mouth were several times bigger than himself. Many people were coming and going as if they had a purpose in walking around. Anger narrowly dodged the big feet that were about to step on him.

Isn't this the Giant Race, not the Human Race?!

Anger flew upwards with great effort to avoid the crowd while cursing Old Jack in his heart. He couldn't help but think of the time he was swindled by him. As he raised his head, he came face to face with a towering glass building over twenty floors across the street...

Oh my heavens, what on earth is this?

Black mass, pitch-black round eyeballs, sharp teeth exposed, and constantly flapping wings.

Isn't this the lowest-level little bat of the blood clan?

Angell's heart was startled, and he quickly rushed to the glass to look at the reflection inside. It was a small, black bat that kept spinning around and around.

Oh my god, that's Engel.

That! Is! Ang! Ge! Er?

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows on the twentieth floor, Lu Ze was dressed in a well-fitted suit, with a meticulously tied tie. In his hand, he held a cup of warm and aromatic coffee, enjoying the beautiful scenery while taking a sip of coffee.

Suddenly, a small black dot appeared in their line of sight and gradually became larger.

Lu Ze felt puzzled in his heart, so he took a couple of steps closer. The small black dot was also rapidly approaching this way.

After a while, he saw it.

That was a bat and not a small one.

...Huh? Bats?

Lu Ze gently furrowed his brow, "Are there bats in the city too? And are they appearing in the daytime?"

It looked like a baby bat, fluttering its wings against the glass in front of it, which was quite amusing. Lu Ze, who had been working in the workplace, found it funny when he saw this. Perhaps someone as cold-hearted as him needed a small animal to stir up his emotions.

However, raising a bat...

Lu was sipping his coffee, his eyes fixed on the round eyes of the little bat, brimming with shock and disbelief, with a hint of astonishment in the depths of his eyes.

A bat with emotions? Could it possibly even hear its heartbeat? Well then, since that's the case, keeping it wouldn't be a problem...

Thinking this, Lu Ze's hand was faster than his thoughts. In a daze, he had already opened the window and swiftly grabbed the back of the little bat's neck, bringing it inside while it still had a puzzled expression.

Angell: "......"

"I've been kidnapped!"

Lu then held the back of the little bat's neck, carefully examining it from side to side. He noticed that after a brief moment of confusion, it began to struggle vigorously, its little mouth moving and emitting a unique and pleasant chirping sound, even more melodious than that of birds.

"Let go of me, you delusional human!"

"Let go quickly! If you don't let go, I'll take your life!"

"Hey! You, idiotic human, don't grab my neck!"

......

Lu Zhe dragged it over to the office desk and pressed a button, "Zhang Zhen, go buy me a birdcage."

Then, a small hook was hung on the high cabinet, and an expensive-looking birdcage swayed leisurely. Angell clung onto the steel bars with his claws, his face filled with a look of despair as he watched Lu Zhe, who was busy handling documents at the nearby desk...

This audacious man kept in captivity... me, the grand master.

In the cage.

At this moment, Angell's deep red pupils shimmered with bloodlust, countless beasts roaring within his heart, clamoring to one day tear this man apart!
