“Vampire?” Piers swallowed. He immediately turned to Cornellia. He saw Cornellia pull out the dagger. The wound from the knife became blackened. A wound that only an object made of silver could produce on a vampire's body.

Piers glared in disbelief. “Oh, God...”

Ethan opened the barrel of his gun. “Piers! Bullets!”

Piers shook his head. “I didn't bring any. I'll look for it right away!”

When Piers was about to move to get the bullets, Cornellia chuckled. The woman immediately closed the door and locked it. “There will be no bullets in this room. The ammunition is in another one.”

Suddenly Ethan and Piers dropped their plans. Ethan put his revolver back in his pocket. Piers slowly retreated to the edged weapons rack. He picked up a dagger there. Although short-range combat was not his forte, there was no other weapon he could use at the moment.

Cornellia turned around. From behind her glasses, Ethan could see her eyeballs turning a red color. Her pupils turned cat-like. The atmosphere became tense. A heavy pressure instantly enveloped the room.

Cornellia revealed her smile. From behind her beautiful face, it turned out that she kept sharp canines there. Then with the palm of her hand, she rubbed the scar Ethan had made. After a few strokes, the wound disappeared instantly.

She then glanced at the two men in front of her. “This is surprising. My cover was blown so easily. You've only met me once, Ethan Hunter. But, you can discover me instantly.”

Ethan raised the thumb that Cornellia had previously sucked. Ethan deliberately pressed the edge of the wound so that the blood would come out again. As it turned out, blood came out of two wounds. “I cut my finger with a dagger. However, when you sucked it, the wound became two. You can't stand the sight of blood, can you?”

Piers furrowed his brows. He turned to the Ethan’s thumb. Deep down, Piers still had doubts about all this. All this time he had been serving under Cornellia's orders. However, he just found out that Cornellia was a vampire. A race that had been an enemy of humans for a long time. He felt so stupid.

Cornellia's nails became longer and sharper. She held her chin while tapping her index finger on her lips. With a calm gaze, she looked at Ethan. A faint smile began to spread from her lips. “Ah... your blood is quite delicious, Ethan Hunter. It's been months since I tasted blood. After all this time, the blood I tasted for the first time was that of a legend. I want more of it. You don't mind, do you?”

Ethan just stood up while his right foot took a step forward, so his body position was tilted. He smiled without any desire to respond to Cornellia's words.

Piers carefully approached behind Ethan. “Mr. Ethan, almost everyone is unaware that Miss Cornellia is a vampire. How did you find out?”

Ethan only glanced. From the available data, the monsters and demons were also becoming more and more developed. They were also able to trap the Hunters who were on missions several times. It could happen if there were spies among the Hunters.

Previously, Ethan intended to tell Piers to search for the traitor. However, it turned out that the person was directly in front of him. Someone who had a physique more dazzling than ordinary humans, stronger, and faster. Only Ethan could tell that Cornellia was a vampire. A creature that rarely appeared before humans. Any human who realized their existence would be killed immediately. They were smart enough to hide their presence among humans. Of all the people who had encountered vampires, Ethan was the only one still alive.

Cornellia deeply inhaled the air. She closed her eyes as she savored the entry of the air into her chest. She then exhaled with a sigh. “The smell of this blood, and the taste of this blood. The same smell as the one who killed Dukan, my brother. It is definitely you, the one who managed to kill a vampire, Ethan Hunter. It is time for me to avenge my brother.”

The veins in Cornellia's hands rose. The sharp nails were frightening. Her red eyes seemed to pierce.

Piers held out the dagger he was carrying. “Lord Ethan, use it! Fighting vampires is very dangerous! Even the Hunters cannot fight them even if they move in groups. Moreover, Miss Cornellia Bridgit is famous for her regeneration magic ability. A small wound will not have much impact on her body.”

Ethan waved his hand. “Keep that weapon for yourself.”

Piers wrinkled his forehead. “Sir!”

Ethan glanced over sharply, making Piers instantly fall silent. Ethan was once known as someone who could protect his teammates. Perhaps, that was what Ethan would do to Piers. Saving his life.

Ethan looked back at the creature in front of him. A figure that was both graceful and deadly. The regeneration ability would be very troublesome for Ethan, but that did not mean Cornellia could not be defeated.

Slowly, Ethan pulled his lips upwards. He smiled until his teeth showed, then he burst out laughing. Piers and Cornellia frowned.

Cornellia smiled lightly. “You know your place already, Ethan Hunter? You're going crazy because you know you're going to die at my hands.”

Ethan walked over with a wide smile. His sharp gaze looked into Cornellia's red eyes. “What a coincidence. Tonight I was very hurt by a woman. So hurt that I almost went crazy. But hitting a woman isn't very manly, is it?”

Cornellia burst out laughing. “Ah, a woman dumped you? As a former General, you apparently have a very embarrassing weakness. If I were you, I would hide to the end of the world where no one would ever find me.”

Ethan raised his right hand. He bent his little finger and ring finger, so that the other three fingers formed a gun. “It's a pity that I don't have the self-respect to do such a useless thing. If I finish you, then I won't feel anything. Because you are not a woman, you are a monster.”

Ethan then whispered an incantation into his hand. Instantly, several magical chains emerged from the ground and bound Cornellia's body. Cornellia groaned in pain. With all her strength, she tried to break free, but the chains did not budge, instead binding even stronger.

Cornellia choked, she coughed up blood as her chest was crushed by the chains. “Damn it! There's no way I got caught so easily!”

Cornellia began to panic. She tried to pull herself out. Her smooth white skin was scarred from the scratches from the chains. Meanwhile Ethan just looked at her casually. “It's useless. This is a seal magic that activates quickly. Although the condition is that I have to use my blood.”

Cornellia was wide-eyed. It turned out that Ethan had deliberately pressed the wound until the blood dripped so that he could perform this seal magic trick. Now Cornellia understood why Dukan could lose to someone like this. Aside from his powerful seal magic, Ethan Hunter was the type of person who already had a winning ticket before even fighting. He prepared a trap before Cornellia could show her fighting skills. A natural enemy for vampires with high self-esteem is someone who does not think about self-esteem like Ethan.

Amidst the pain, Cornellia grinned. “I did not expect... you could defeat me so easily. However, you're not the only one with tricks--”

Ethan snapped out of it before Cornellia could finish her sentence. Instantly the chains strengthened their coils, so that Cornellia's body was crushed within them. The woman's screams were so loud that Piers covered his ears.

Moments later, the chain magic disappeared. Leaving many blood splatters on the floor. Piers could only stare at Ethan standing there. Looking at the floor, the center of the blood splatters.

    The Lambo stopped in front of one of Silverhaven's luxury hotels, the Gold Hotel. Piers became silent after he saw how strong Ethan was against monster. Even a vampire could be defeated with ease.Ethan who was sitting in the back opened the door. “Thank you for bringing me here.”Ethan then got out of the car and went into the hotel. Leaving Piers who was still glued there. Piers' hands became sweaty. He hissed while closing her eyes. “With just one magic he can defeat Miss Cornellia. I've never seen anything like that. Even my abilities are nothing compared to his.”Ethan approached the receptionist. A man with neatly combed hair and a big smile. The receptionist narrowed her eyes slightly. “Welcome, Mr. Ethan Hunter. Welcome back to the Gold Hotel.”Ethan didn't immediately answer the man's greeting. Instead, he took a black card from his wallet and gave it to the man. The receptionist accepted it immediately.The receptionist smiled back. “Ar you gonna use your usual room, Mr. Eth

    “Are you out of your mind?” Edward looked at Ethan while wincing at the pain. He immediately looked back. “Niko, Fernand, why are you guys so quiet?”Edward's two friends immediately stood in front of Ethan while glaring at Ethan. They acted like people with power. Unfortunately, such intimidating behavior had no effect on a former General like Ethan. So, Ethan looked at them casually while giving a faint smile.Niko held the collar of Ethan's shirt. “From your smile, you must have done it on purpose. You're looking to die, aren't you?”Ethan pointed at Edward. “He's the one who scared me. That make the thing fell.”Niko pushed Ethan's body until Ethan backed up and his back hit the wall. “Don't fuck around, damn it. Don't you know the Chulkin family?”Ethan didn't answer her. He glanced at Edward's foot. His big toe was very red and swollen. It had probably been fractured. For a person who had never experienced the battlefield, such a thing was already very painful. However, should E

In her opinion, Ethan was really too bold to say such a thing.Then a woman friend of the girl took her hand and pulled the girl. “Forgive her, just forget what she said.”The two turned around. However, Ethan heard a sentence come out of the woman in a whisper. “Don't interfere in his problem! He's already too crazy to deal with the Chulkin family. You’ll be damned!”Ethan just smiled a little. It turned out that after 3 years Ethan left the Hunter world, there were many things he didn't know. Including the influence of the Chulkin family in this town. Even everyone here seemed to be afraid of their existence.That incident must have made Edward very vengeful towards Ethan. It was likely that the man would take that revenge on Ethan sooner or later. If he could do it, Ethan wanted to see how much resistance he could put

    “Going for some fresh air, Mr. Ethan?” the man standing behind the reception display case smiled mysteriously at Ethan.Ethan glanced at the person. A young man in his twenties. He stood tall in white clothes and a black suit. A different person to the one Ethan met when he previously entered the Gold Hotel.With slow steps Ethan approached the person. His eyes narrowed slightly, wary of this person. “Do you know my name?”The receptionist nodded. “Mr. Jim told me about you.”Jim was the receptionist who had greeted Ethan earlier. He must have also told this young man that Ethan was a former Demon Hunter. Thus making him friendly to Ethan.Ethan glanced at the name tag on his chest. “Jason... Jim taught you well, Jason.”Jason gave a small smile. He bowed his head in respect. “Thank you. Maybe you haven't remembered, but I'm still alive thanks to Mr. Ethan. I almost fell prey to a Wendigo a few years ago, but Mr. Ethan came and killed the Wendigo.”Ethan gave a small nod. He really di

    “Arrest him, he's got a weapon. Don't let him get away!” the security guard pushed Ethan's body into a policeman.Ethan glanced at the security guard. A smile of satisfaction was painted on his face. Followers of the creatures of darkness did have a very annoying nature. As devil worshipers, they would be possessed by demons and have various abilities.To the Demon Hunter, they were still human beings. They are not allowed to be killed. However, they also always act as allies of the demons. Making it difficult for the Demon Hunters. Their suddenly blackened corneas were strong evidence that they had demons inside them.The policeman grabbed Ethan's shoulder. “Move! Get in the car. I'll confiscate all the weapons you're carrying.”Ethan walked into the police car, while the security guard smilingly waved his hand. Briefly, Ethan knew the security guard's plan. He wanted Ethan to be taken to the holding cell, so that the other dark beings there could gang up on Ethan. In short, the secu

    Rio frowned. “I don't understand. What were you thinking, Lieutenant? You're letting the man who injured Edward Chulkin get away with it.”The lieutenant glanced sharply at Rio. With a firm step he approached the deputy with anger. “Listen, damn it! If you still love your life, stay away from people with black cards. Even if they carry a sharp weapon or a gun.”Rio tilted his head. He realized that he wasn't a completely honest cop. However, letting a civilian carry a weapon was not something that could be justified. “So, Lieutenant is saying that cops like us shouldn't bother people like that even if they hurt others?”The lieutenant shouted loudly. “Yes! If they kill someone, you should never arrest them! Do you hear me?”Rio frowned. He really didn't understand the Lieutenant's train of thought. Karl immediately dragged him back. “Rio, never mind. Don't make the situation more precarious.”When Rio and Karl had moved away, Lieutenant Finn returned to his room. He lit a cigarette wi

    “Stealing? What do you mean steal? Are you going to accuse me of that again?” the thin man dodged.Ethan narrowed his eyes, paying attention to the details of the gestures made by this person. This thin man did not look Ethan directly in the eye. Tending to look towards the right.The eyes are a difficult organ to lie to. After all, Ethan had seen this man's evil actions from the beginning.Ethan asked back angrily. “You're still evasive?”The man immediately showed an angry face. “Do you have any proof, huh? You've been accusing me of nonsense ever since. You must really like making people look bad. Just stop what you're doing. You can get other people in trouble.”Ethan smirked slightly. Right now Ethan was witnessing how someone could strongly resist an accusation that was clearly very visible. Even if the evil of this person was only Ethan who realized it.The man then hit Ethan's hand grip. “Let go of me. I'm getting off here!”Ethan didn't budge. The blow felt quite weak to Etha

    “Edward broke it off unilaterally. I'm really upset with him!” Thalia's face turned red as she ate a meal with Betty, her close friend.They were at a café far from Thalia's office. Thalia deliberately chose this place because she didn't want anyone to hear their conversation. Moreover, this is a premium cafe where not many people come at a time like this.Betty, the girl with glasses and butterfly cut hair nodded slowly. Her eyes were sharp and calm, looking directly into Thalia's eyes. Even though Thalia didn't look directly into Betty's eyes.Thalia held her forehead. “I'm dizzy... Edward has suddenly become like this.”Betty tilted her head. Her pink lips puckered slightly after hearing Thalia's long story. “I don't understand, Thalia. You got the man you wanted and ditched your husband. That's a big thing, but you're getting distracted over a little thing like this.”Thalia glanced over sharply. Her eyebrows immediately furrowed. “Betty, this is no small matter. I'm already pregn

    “This is crazy, Mr. Ethan! You really want to kill yourself. What's worse, you invited me!” Ben protested loudly while trembling. The shotgun he was holding didn't make him feel safe at all. In fact, he was very violent with it before. “Mr. Ethan, going out at night like this is very dangerous.”The night wind blew cold, piercing the bones. Ben patted his chest several times, which felt tight despite the layers of clothing he was wearing. In fact, the problem wasn't the cold, but the fear that was too great at this time of night.Gulping, he turned to Ethan. He tilted his head and his eyebrows knitted together like threads. The man apparently calmly opened the barrel of his revolver and changed the bullet to a red bullet. Then he closed the barrel and brought it slightly closer to his ear.Closing his eyes, Ethan slowly twirled the barrel of his revolver. Listening to every sound that came out of it. Then he calmly placed it into the holster. “Preparations complete.”Ben gulped. He ap

He took a deep breath, then held his slightly dizzy head. “Freya... where am I?”Then Ethan's voice suddenly sounded. “You're finally awake, Ben.”Instantly the bearded man opened his eyes wide and woke up from his sleep. Immediately he glared at Ethan and set up a fighting stance. Breath rushed out of his mouth and nose. “Monster! Leave my son alone!”Ethan was standing in the doorway, his figure firmly established there. His gaze was cold and calm, as if the ice bars were ready to pierce the bones. Ben, the bearded man held his breath, immediately cautious of Ethan's figure. He could still clearly remember how terrifying Ethan had been when he had previously fought with him.Ben immediately stood in front of Freya, blocking Ethan's figure. “I won't let a demon like you touch my son!”

    “UAARGH!” The bearded man's shout echoed, breaking the silence. His eyes bulged wildly, his breath caught as if his heart was about to be ripped out of his chest. Panicking, he jumped backwards. However, his head slammed into a glass display case. The sparkle of shattered glass filled the air as her body staggered. The world seemed to shake in her eyes, spinning uncontrollably.Ethan took a step forward. Slowly, but each step felt like a rumble. The air vibrated as if his presence ruled the room. Those fiery red eyes stared straight, piercing, making the bearded man's blood freeze.His hand reached into his jacket pocket, searching for the remaining shotgun shells. His fingers trembled violently, like leaves shaken by a storm. A bullet fell out of his grasp, sliding to the floor because of his hands that he couldn't control in fear. “Damn it!”The bearded man cursed repeatedly, his face growing pale, almost as if there was no blood left in his body. With trembling hands, he cocked the

    “Get out of this place, or you won't make it out alive!” The man cocked the shotgun with a loud, echoing sound, as if to reinforce his threat.The young girl behind him cowered in fear, her eyes glancing at Ethan over her father's shoulder. Her face was as pale as paper, her lips quivering silently, as if she had just seen death in human form.Ethan slowly raised both his hands, his palms open upwards in a sign of peace. His face remained flat, cold as a stone statue. There was not a hint of fear in his eyes, as if the shotgun blast was just a trivial matter.Stepping away from the table, Ethan tilted his head, his gaze fixed on the man. In a low, calm voice he tried not to provoke the man with the beard. “Calm down, sir. I think there's a misunderstanding here.”The man with the beard glared, his eyes burning like embers ready to burn. His breathing sounded heavy, filling the room with tension that hung in the air. Ethan's calmness seemed to be the spark that magnified the flames of

    Ethan stood at the edge of the gravel road, his boots touching the ground damp with morning dew. Fresh air slipped into his lungs, carrying the distinctive scent of wet leaves and a hint of clay. She took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly. The cold air mixed with her hot exhale, forming a light mist in the morning.“How long have I been without air like this?” he murmured softly, his eyes gazing at the dense forest on the other side.A wooden signpost stood askew on the side of the road, the writing slightly faded, but still legible: Dogu. Ethan touched the board with a finger, the wood rough and mossy. The village felt unfamiliar to him, but his steps remained steady following the small road that led to it.Along the way, the sound of children's laughter echoed. Some ran around in bare feet, sending dust into the air. A small boy held a battered kite, its string tied tightly in his hand. Ethan glanced at them, the corners of his lips lifting slightly-a rare smile.However, the peace

    Ethan stared at his now no longer perfect silver knife, his gaze turning from shocked to cold. “No way...”Trevor, with a small smile playing at the corners of his lips, slowly raised his hands. “Perhaps you'd like to put the weapon away before my neck is completely ripped out?”Ethan narrowed his eyes, but finally lowered the knife and took a step back. Trevor calmly turned around, placing his gun on the dusty display case. His movements seemed confident, but there was a mystery lurking behind his smile.With one swift movement, Ethan slipped his dagger back into the holster, but his eyes remained fixed on Trevor. A shadow of suspicion crossed his mind. “How can you make something stronger than your grandfather's work?”Trevor tilted his head, as if savoring the moment. “That's why he retired. I've perfected his technique. He knew it was time to leave the shop to me.”He paused for a moment, staring intently at Ethan. “So, what are you looking for, legendary Mr. Demon Hunter?”Ethan

    The old wooden door creaked softly as Ethan pushed it with his fingertips. Cold air mixed with damp smells greeted him immediately, like the scent of a long-locked basement. His footsteps were barely audible as he entered the building, as if the dusty old floor didn't want to betray his presence. Sunlight only slipped through a few small cracks in the windows.Ethan scanned the room. Nearly collapsed wooden shelves stood along the walls, filled with dusty bottles and almost illegible labels. The traces of time were clearly imprinted on every corner of the store, from the shabby carpet to the cracked ceiling. He stepped up to the glass display case in the center of the room, looked at the soberly displayed goods, then pressed the small bell on the counter. The sharp clinking sound echoed in the silence, as if disturbing the sleeping souls in the place.A man appeared, wearing a neat black suit with a crimson bow tie. His appearance contrasted with the condition of the building, but the

The door closed softly, leaving Ethan back standing in front of the large window. He gazed at the city of Silverhaven, his eyes radiating a mixture of calmness and firmness.Hugo exited the room with quick, decisive steps. The door slammed shut, leaving Ethan sitting back in his cushioned chair. He leaned back, hands interlocked in his lap. A thin, meaningful smile graced his face. His eyes narrowed, as if he was weighing something. In almost a whisper, he said to himself, “You shouldn't play with fire, Thalia.”On the other side of the building, the Blake family boardroom was filled with enthusiastic energy. Jack sat at the end of the long table, his fingers tapping the wooden surface with an almost impatient rhythm. His face radiated confidence, with a smile raised in contentment. I

This is your room.”The room behind the door exuded undeniable elegance. The crystal chandelier reflected warm light onto the walls decorated with classical ornaments. A large mahogany table stood firmly in the center, with leather swivel chairs that looked inviting to sit on. A relaxed but dignified atmosphere filled the air.Ethan stepped inside without hesitation. His leather shoes made a soft sound as they touched the shiny marble floor. He walked slowly towards the swivel chair behind the desk, then sat down in a relaxed yet authoritative manner. The backrest of the chair accepted his back comfortably, while both hands rested on the arms of the chair. He turned the chair slightly, looking at Hugo who stood with a proud smile.Hugo looked relieved, like a heavy burden had finally been lifted. The small smile on his face signaled undisguised happiness. H
