(Heartfelt thanks to 'Infinite Bloodslaughter Wings' for the 10,000 reward, and to 'Yunqi Qinggu,' 'Liu Jin Yu Shui Yue,' and 'Luo Zhi Qingyue' for their rewards!)
"Vattler!"
Seeing that the farce before them seemed to be escalating, Wu Yan sighed and finally spoke.
"Make it clear. Why exactly did you invite us here?"
As Wu Yan spoke, Kojo and the others, who had been bickering in a mess, all paused. The somewhat noisy atmosphere gradually turned solemn.
Vattler chuckled, closed his eyes, and slipped both hands into his pockets. The somewhat flirtatious air around him changed completely, turning sharp!
This was what the real Vattler should have been like!
Sensing the change in his aura, Kojo and Yukina's expressions also grew grave. They moved to Wu Yan's side, and the four of them lined up facing Vattler as though prepared to fight at any moment, staring at him closely.
"Don't make such frightening faces..." Seeing Kojo and Yukina tense up, Vattler spread his hands as if trying to ease the atmosphere. "As the diplomatic envoy of the War King Domain, having come to the Fourth Primogenitor's territory, shouldn't I pay a visit?"
"I told you, don't decide that on your own!" Kojo clenched his fists. "I never said I occupied this island!"
"But the world's strongest vampire lives on this island!"
When he mentioned "the world's strongest vampire," Vattler's voice rose with excitement. "At the very least, as long as the Fourth Primogenitor remains here, this island is the Fourth Primogenitor's territory in other people's eyes, including those who live on it..."
Kojo froze, unable to refute him.
Unlike the other three Primogenitors, who possessed entire empires as their territories and commanded vast vampire clans, the Fourth Primogenitor had never been known to lead vampire kin or rule any territory.
