"This..."

The crowd looked at one another, all of them too afraid to act for the moment.
Seeing their hesitation, Ian's anger only grew.
"Are you trying to rebel by disobeying my orders?"
At that moment, Yan Siyuan and the others pushed their way out of the crowd.
"Don't listen to him! This Mayor Ian is actually a vampire monster. He only wants to keep you captive and have you provide him with an endless supply of blood. Holy Land Town's protection is nothing but a lie!"
Upon hearing this, only a small portion of the humans showed shock and horror. Most remained numb, their faces carrying faint resentment.
They stood where they were, making no other move.
"Huh?"
Yan Siyuan looked around. He had thought that dropping such a bombshell would send the crowd into an uproar.
But clearly, the effect had not met his expectations.
"Aren't you surprised? Everyone should unite and overthrow their rule."
Yet after hearing him, the people still stood there blankly, looking at one another without the slightest intention of taking action.
Yan Siyuan frowned. Had he learned sixteen languages for nothing? Did they not understand what he meant?
At that moment, the elderly leader of the castle servants stepped forward, filthy and disheveled.
"We've lived here for so long. Do you think we don't know whether they're vampires? But what can we do? We just want to survive!"
"You, this..."
Yan Siyuan was speechless.
A faint smile appeared at the corners of Clan Leader Ian's mouth. He was fairly satisfied to see them yielding beneath his tyranny.
But then, a long blade suddenly tore through the air and slashed toward the old man. In the blink of an eye, it severed his head.
