“Evelyn Winslet is a pretty good name.”
If I hadn’t sensed Reese’s aura, I probably wouldn’t have let the girl leave so easily. In fact, it also gave me a headache when my subordinates were too loyal.
Sure enough, I was just about to step outside and I saw that Reese had been waiting at the door.
“Master, should we continue to send more people to the Keschi family?” Reese asked me.
As the largest power in the western region of the Kindred, the Kesci family had been challenging the dignity of the House of Stuart for the past few years. Perhaps they had also been assimilated by the human world and were clamoring about equality every day. Heh! What a bunch of foolish fellows. Even in the human world, the strong made the rules, while the weak followed the rules. No matter what era it was, the essence of survival was always like this.
“Send more men to them. Make Groser’s retirement a little more fun.”
“Yes, Master.”
Although Reese’s loyalty occasionally bothered me, it was this loyalty that kept him safe by my side.
If I ordered him to assassinate Groser one day, he would also obey my command, even if he knew he would be the one to die.
“Look into this person, Evelyn Winslet.”
“Yes, Master.”
Reese obeyed the order and left and I also went to find my lost little wildcat.
If she was a heretic, which traitor’s descendant would she be? How exciting.
I came to Spurget High School to find out more about the little wildcat. The powers of vampires were very convenient, especially the ability to hypnotize and make people forget a certain memory. It was a common trick we used in front of humans.
Due to these two powers, I soon got personal information about the kitten.
Evelyn Winslet, 18, graduated from Spurget High School, had loving parents and a twin brother. Her parents had a bakery in town called Eddie’s Bakery.
It turned out the kitten had a twin brother. Then, it looked like Reese would bring me some interesting news.
When I reached the front door of the bakery, I did see the kitten daydreaming at the cash register.
However, the kitten seemed sad. Did something happen? I pushed the door open. The wind chime hanging at the entrance of the shop made a tinkling sound, but the sound didn’t bring the kitten back to Earth.
“Beauty, aren’t you selling bread?” I asked teasingly as I gently knocked on the glass cabinet with my knuckle.
To be honest, it was quite fun to see her daydreaming.
“It’s you!”
I didn’t expect her to have such a big reaction when she saw me. If it weren’t for the restraints of manners, she probably would have pointed her finger right at my nose directly.
“Evelyn, we meet again. Like I said, we’re attracted to each other.” I smiled at her.
She probably had mixed feelings about me right now. She liked me emotionally and wanted to be close to me, but her rationality warned her to stay away from me. So whenever I did something beyond her expectations or tried to seduce her with my looks, her reaction was extraordinarily big.
She thought she was hiding it well, but who wouldn’t be able to see her flushed face that was about to start smoking and the occasional furtive glances?
Even though I was trying not to laugh, her cute move made me laugh out loud.
She thought she could fool me by adding ingredients to the bread, but she didn’t know that vampires were creatures that wandered around and hunted at night. The green packaged condiment should be wasabi! Her plan was truly exposed completely.
I pretended I didn’t know and ate the bread she handed me. Sensing the change in her expression, I suddenly felt like coming here was the right decision.
Then I took the other bread with extra ingredients to her and asked if the bread in the shop had gone off.
For the sake of her bakery’s reputation, she had no choice but to take a big bite of the wasabi-filled bread.
Seeing how she covered her mouth and kept crying, I felt extremely pleased.
After Evelyn went into the back kitchen, I sat back in my chair and waited for her to come out.
However, another person came out.
“I’m sorry. Evelyn is a little naughty. Please don’t mind.”
As he spoke, the man brought a piece of freshly baked cake to me.
“Please take some of our best breads as an apology.”
“And you are?” I got up to shake his hand.
“Hello, I’m Evelyn’s father.”
After talking a bit more with the man, Evelyn came out. Her eyes were still very red, and her pretty lips were slightly swollen. I held back my laughter and coughed softly with my fist on my lips. Then, I saw her give me another fierce stare.
If she was really a kitten, she would probably reach out and scratch me with her sharp little claws.
“Evelyn, apologize to the guest quickly.” The man said.
“It’s okay, sir. Evelyn was just joking with me. I don’t mind.”
I didn’t mind giving them a good impression before I figured out the situation of Evelyn’s family.
In the end, Evelyn couldn’t wait to see me out the door of their bakery. She even packed some bread for me. I knew she didn’t put anything else in the bread this time.
