Salute To The General

Chapter 3079



At the long conference table used by the highest-ranking vampires for meetings, the Patriarch's seat remained empty.

The rest of the thirteen vampire princes had arrived and were seated on both sides of the conference table according to their statuses.

To Lux and the other vampire princes' surprise, an extra chair was added to the table that day, and the person who occupied the seat was none other than Max.

Lux, Vivien, and the other princes knew Max had failed to bring back the blood of Hepburn, the Holy Maiden-the mission assigned to him by the Patriarch—causing the Patriarch to go into slumber once more from being unable to fulfill his wish.

Lux was under the assumption that the Patriarch would be utterly disappointed with Max, and thus the latter's yearning to become the fourteenth vampire prince would not be realized.

Hence, all of them were dumbfounded to see Max sitting leisurely at the conference table with them.

Infuriated, Lux was the first to voice out. "What's going on?"

Just then, the Patriarch's maid, Lyanna, ambled into the room and said, "This is the Patriarch's will."

The entire time, Max slouched in the chair in silence with an amused expression on his face.

Instantly, Lux grew anxious.

"Ms. Lyanna, this guy didn't complete the mission given to him by the Patriarch. Why can he be present here today, not to mention deserving a seat at the table?"

Vivien and the other vampire princes, sharing the same doubts, gazed at Lyanna, the host of the meeting that day.

Lyanna replied calmly, “I'm just as clueless as you are. I only know this is the Patriarch's decision. When Max came back, the Patriarch summoned him. I don't know what the Patriarch discussed with Max, but he was delighted after the meeting. He mentioned he has high hopes for Max and said that the credit belongs to Max if the vampires can successfully replace humans as the earth's new ruler. The Patriarch made the exception of allowing Max to be the fourteenth vampire prince. From now on, Max and the bondslaves he creates will form a new clan, and they will be on equal footing with the other thirteen vampire clans."

Lux and the other princes were astounded.

They did not expect Max would successfully earn permission to establish a new clan and become the fourteenth vampire prince.

Fury and astonishment churned within them simultaneously.

Lux was much more livid than the rest. "He doesn't have a pure bloodline, not to mention he failed in completing the mission the Patriarch entrusted him with, so why is he qualified to be the fourteenth vampire prince and become our equal?"

Vivien sneered and chimed in,

"That's right. He's no different from a

b*stard from the streets with his low bloodline How dare a b*stard

request to share equal status as us, the masters, and even plan on forming a new clan? This is such joke. I suggest him to name his clan 'the B*stards."

The remaining eleven princes concurred one after another.

The vampires regarded their bloodlines with great importance. The thirteen princes at the scene had highly pure bloodlines, and all of them were nobles among the vampires.

Unexpectedly, a newcomer b*stard like Max, who lacked a pure bloodline, was becoming their peer. Needless to say, the turn of events enraged

them.

The host of the meeting, Lyanna, felt her head throb at the sight of the wrathful princes. She found the situation to be spiraling slightly out of control. At that instant, Max gradually got to his feet.

Everyone present immediately shifted their attention to him and fell silent.

Max, a man who was very particular about his appearance, tidied his suit and drawled, All of you question my qualifications to become the fourteenth vampire prince, is that right? Well, let me tell you. I am

et

qualified because the Patrid

so. Since he had given his consent in this matter, I shall claim the position as the fourteenth vampire prince. If you are dissatisfied with the Patriarch's decree, feel free to express your thoughts to him."

Thick silence hung in the air.

No one would dare to do as Max had suggested unless they were tired of living.

Max sneered. "You all don't even

have the courage to speak up before the Patriarch. It's no wonder the vampires have been deteriorating in the last few centuries. From now on, I think it will be best to let me handle the responsibilities of empowering the vampires to our rise and turning us into the earth's ruler."
