Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

No matter how he looked at it, Fang Ping would never forgive this vampire in front of him.

Even without the so-called laws of the Vampire Kingdom, just this guy’s crime of killing a large number of humans through cruel means was enough for Fang Ping to kill him at all costs!

Moreover, Fang Ping planned to use the cruelest method to carry out his punishment!

Fang Ping first crippled the captain to ensure that he had no chance of resisting.

Then, he grabbed the captain’s head tightly and pulled his body up from the ground. Their eyes met.

The captain’s eyes were filled with fear. His life was now completely in Fang Ping’s hands.

“Soul Devouring Spell!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a purple light instantly enveloped the captain’s entire body.

The captain let out a blood-curdling scream as his entire body twitched crazily as if he had been electrocuted.

It was obvious that he was enduring unbearable pain.

This was the first time Fang Ping had directly used the Soul Devouring Spell on a living person!

This method was extremely cruel because it would directly absorb the other party’s soul when the other party was in a vulnerable state!

Moreover, it directly shattered the soul in the other party’s body and then completely absorbed it!

This pain was even more intense than having ten thousand arrows piercing through one’s heart.

If there was a ranking of the various cruel methods in this world, the Soul Devouring Spell would definitely be ranked at the top.

Fang Ping had never done such a thing before.

However, today’s incident had infuriated Fang Ping. He had to make Bruno’s men pay with their blood!

Only then could the souls of those victims rest in peace!

The screams coming from this house woke many residents in the town from their sleep.

However, after panicking, they quickly realized what had happened.

Then people spontaneously stepped out into the street and walked in the direction of the screams.

At this moment, everyone had completely forgotten their fear of the night. They only wanted to see what the hero who had avenged them and their family looked like!

After a while, the captain’s eyes were lifeless. He had become a corpse, and even his soul had been completely destroyed.

After that, Fang Ping used a fire to completely ignite the entire house, thinking to himself.

“Rest in peace. I hope you won’t be born into this cruel world in your next life!”

In the courtyard of this house, Fang Ping found a horse carriage.

There were several blood extraction devices in the carriage, and the carriage was filled with vessels carrying blood.

Fang Ping finally heaved a sigh of relief. Now, his work could be completed successfully.

With this blood, he no longer needed to collect rent from the remaining families!

Fang Ping was about to leave when he led the carriage to the street outside.

With the help of the morning light, Fang Ping suddenly saw a dense crowd of people standing on the road not far away.

Seeing Fang Ping walk out of the house alone, these people knelt down in unison.

They started to worship him with a grateful and pious expression without stopping.

Fang Ping was rather touched. Today’s incident could be considered a redemption for his humanity.

Otherwise, he was really worried that he would really end up becoming a skeleton if he ignored this matter today. When that happened, would it mean that he had really become an undead creature?

At that time, he would have completely abandoned his former identity as a human. He would have abandoned his principles and bottom line as a human.

“Everyone, get up. I don’t expect you to repay me for what happened today.

“But I hope you can promise me one thing!”

Hearing this, everyone’s eyes widened as they listened attentively to Fang Ping’s words.

Fang Ping smiled and continued.

“You guys must keep it a secret for me!”

Such a simple request made everyone laugh uncontrollably.

After that, Fang Ping left under the gazes of hundreds of residents in the town.

When he killed the captain, the voice of the investment system had already sounded in his mind.

Since this was only a white grade investment, there were no particularly precious rewards.

There were no precious tools or powerful weapons, but the large amount of experience points given by the system was still very useful.

It could help Fang Ping level up quickly and have greater strength to protect himself.

Just as Fang Ping was returning to the city, the news of what had happened in Porto Town had already reached Count Bruno’s castle.

“What? Someone attacked our blood collection team? Has the situation been confirmed?”

“Could someone have stolen the rent?”

Count Bruno immediately asked when he heard the news.

The depositor shook his head and said in an affirmative tone.

“Lord Count, our blood collection team has been strictly selected and trained. They are absolutely loyal to you. It’s impossible for them to betray you!

“So I can be sure that someone must have attacked them and snatched the blood that should have belonged to us!”

Count Bruno was furious.

He slammed his palm on the table beside him, shattering it into pieces.

He said in a low voice, “Send someone to investigate this matter immediately and find out who is so bold as to attack my blood collection team!

“Report to me as soon as you find any clues. I’ll make him regret what he did!”

The butler bowed his head and said, “Yes, my lord!”

What happened in Porto made everyone in Count Bruno’s castle move quickly.

Some people went to the town to investigate this matter, while others began to investigate suspicious candidates.

One of them, a vampire with the strength of a viscount, had locked onto Count Manstein!

He had followed Count Bruno for many years and was well aware of the grievances and feuds between Count Bruno and Count Manstein.

In his opinion, Count Manstein was undoubtedly the most likely person to commit this crime!

The moment he heard the count’s order, he gathered his subordinates and headed to Count Manstein’s castle.

Before long, the group of uninvited guests arrived outside the castle.

They completely ignored the guards at the gate and directly beat them to death before breaking into the castle.

Fang Ping, who was absorbing the experience rewarded by the system and leveling up, had no idea what was happening hundreds of miles away.

Nor could he have imagined the catastrophe he had wrought on the people of Count Manstein’s castle last night.

“What are you doing? Stop right now!

“This is Count Manstein’s castle. What you’re doing is against the laws of the kingdom and a crime!”

Just as Count Bruno’s men entered the castle garden and wreaked havoc, an old butler stood up and blocked their way with a group of servants.
