"Is her mental fortitude really that fragile?"
In a small town in Romania, Wang Hao, holding Sakura in his arms, turned his head and glanced at Aoi and her daughter Rin Tohsaka, who were following Kariya Matou.
Ever since Kariya Matou brought this mother and daughter back, they've had empty eyes and looked like walking corpses. It seems that Kariya Matou has already shown them Sakura's memories.
He just hadn't expected that Kariya Matou would be so perverted, not even sparing that little Loli Rin Tohsaka.
Noticing the disdainful look in his teacher's eyes, Kariya Matou knew what it meant and quickly explained, "I originally wanted to kill that beast Tokiomi Tohsaka without Little Rin's knowledge, but I got carried away and wasn't on guard. Little Rin happened to see me coming home from school, and that's how it happened."
After six months of Hell training, Kariya Matou admitted that he had developed some twisted tendencies, but he still wouldn't go so far as to torture a little girl, especially since that little girl was the daughter of his beloved Aoi.
So this was all an accident, not his intention.
Do you need me to alter her memories?
After glancing again at Rin Tohsaka's vacant eyes, Wang Hao felt it was too cruel for a little girl to witness such a thing, and that it would be better to erase this memory.
"No, you can't erase my memory!"
Before Kariya Matou could speak, Rin Tohsaka, as if provoked, spoke first like a cat with its fur standing on end, her eyes filled with hatred as she looked at Wang Hao and Kariya Matou.
"Never mind, teacher!"
With a sigh, Kariya Matou chose to respect Rin Tohsaka's decision.
Unlike Sakura, Little Rin is much stronger and will be able to overcome this hurdle.
Moreover, although this memory is cruel, it's far less painful than Sakura's.
Rather than letting Little Rin know the truth, it's better to let her hate me.
Moreover, this hatred can be effectively transformed into a powerful driving force for cultivation and growth, which will greatly benefit this girl's future development.
He wasn't stupid; he was well aware of his teacher's insane ambitions. He could foresee that he would never lack battles in the future, and he didn't feel comfortable leaving Aoi, Sakura Little Rin behind, so he had to keep them by his side. This meant he needed to have a certain level of combat strength.
"Suit yourself, just remember not to overdo it!"
Wang Hao didn't care, but he still offered a reminder.
He had a wealth of negative experience in this regard, having messed up quite a few times in the previous dungeons. He didn't want to see this cheap disciple get killed by that girl Little Rin someday.
"I understand, teacher!"
Nodding to indicate that he understood, Kariya Matou continued to look at Aoi beside him with a mixture of fascination and worry. He was very concerned that his beloved would not be able to withstand the blow and would collapse.
"Teacher, can Sakura let Aoi hug her?"
Unable to bear watching his beloved continue like this, Kariya Matou set his sights on Sakura.
Aoi became like this because she couldn't bear the blow from Sakura's memory. As the saying goes, the one who tied the knot must untie it. Perhaps Sakura will bring about a different change in Aoi.
Wang Hao remained silent, casually handing the sleeping Sakura, who was nestled in his arms, to Aoi. Aoi, who had been like a walking corpse, regained her composure the moment she saw Sakura. Instinctively, she pulled Sakura into her arms and held her tightly, as if afraid someone would take her child away.
Seeing that Aoi had finally reacted, both Wang Hao and Kariya Matou breathed a sigh of relief.
It's good to have a response; I'm just worried about no response at all!
"And you? Have you made up your minds?"
Their gazes shifted to Reika Rikudou and Jack on the other side, awaiting each other's final decision.
He felt quite sorry for the two of them, as they had both suffered unfortunate experiences, and most importantly, they were both very good-looking.
As a beautiful woman, she naturally deserves some special privileges.
"I'm leaving Lord Hao behind. I hope to give Jack the Ripper and me a completely new life."
Taking a deep breath, as if gathering her courage, Reika Rikudou made her choice.
In the past, she would never have considered a pointless future when she was lost, but since meeting Jack the Ripper, she has found that her gloomy life has gained some light for the first time.
She hoped to seize this opportunity and amplify it, thereby changing her entire life and giving Jack the Ripper a different life as well.
"Very good, a very wise choice. I will do my best to teach you these next few days, and how much you learn depends on yourselves!"
Wang Hao nodded slightly in satisfaction, having a very high opinion of Reika Rikudou.
Although their early life was filled with confusion and even a tragic past, such people can unleash unimaginable power once they find their purpose in life and the meaning of existence.
Especially now that this woman has become Jack the Ripper's mother, don't underestimate a mother's awareness!
"Wow, you were discovered so quickly? Very efficient!"
Suddenly stopping, Wang Hao looked at the knight riding a fine horse slowly approaching from the end of the street, or rather, the Grand Duke, a former king in Romania history, Vlad III, the Grand Duke in the mouths of the fans.
This is the Black Faction's spearman, a very powerful but also quite tragic character.
The opponent is already First-Rate - Servant, and being in their homeland of Romania provides them with even greater advantages, making them capable of contending with top-tier Servant.
The other party's arrival was clearly aimed at them.
It seems that Darnic has considerable control over Romania; they were discovered on their very first day here.
Looking around, sure enough, the other four Servant Heroic Spirit of the Black Faction were slowly approaching.
They're surrounded!
"Unknown powerhouse, state your position!"
The Grand Duke was not one to procrastinate; he went straight to the point and asked Wang Hao about his stance. If he chose friendship, all would be well; but if he chose hostility, then they would have no choice but to take action.
After all, two unstable Servant are a real hidden danger. It would be fine if the other side chose to observe during the Holy Grail War, but if they were to enter the war, or even join the Red Faction, it would be too fatal for them.
Therefore, after discovering the arrival of the two Servant, they came out in full force. If they cannot be used by me, I will do everything in my power to eliminate them!
"It's the Grand Duke! I admire you so much! Could you sign my name for me? Just on my chest!"
To everyone's astonishment, Wang Hao appeared mysteriously beside the Grand Duke in a flash, staring at him with burning eyes, and handed him a watercolor pen, gesturing for the Grand Duke to sign his name.
There was no way around it; before he transmigrated, he was a vampire fan, especially after watching the Underworld series of movies. Now that the Grand Duke, the source of the vampire legend, had appeared, there was no reason for him to let him go.
"..."
The atmosphere fell into a deathly silence, and even Darnic and the others hiding in the distance were stunned by what they saw.
They had considered many possibilities after the two sides met, but they never expected it to turn out like this.
"Sign it on your chest?"
After a long silence, the Grand Duke could no longer resist Wang Hao's burning gaze and took the watercolor pen to sign his name.
Honestly, this was the first time he had ever encountered fans, let alone someone who idolized him so much.
Of course, most importantly, he didn't sense any malice from this mysterious Servant; it was genuine worship, not some conspiracy.
Therefore, there's a good chance the other party is a friend, not an enemy. In that case, signing an autograph is fine; if we can use it to bring them into our camp, that would be even better.
"Okay, sign here, the bigger the better!"
Wang Hao pointed to his chest Earthly Dao, saying that this was the first time he had ever been so close to his idol, and the idol was even in the form of Heroic Spirit Servant, far surpassing those movie stars.
The Grand Duke dismounted and signed his name on Wang Hao's shirt as instructed, then casually asked out of curiosity, "You said you admire me greatly. What aspect of me do you admire? After all, I have quite a few merits."
"Of course, it's your most famous vampire legend. Although I'm from the East, and our ancient Eastern country also has zombies similar to vampires, those zombies are too ugly, far less handsome than vampires..."
Wang Hao immediately began to tell his idol about it, becoming more and more excited as he spoke, making no attempt to hide his admiration for the existence of vampires.
Unfortunately, although Huaxia also has similar zombies, no matter which version, the zombies in those versions are all ugly, while the actors playing vampires are all handsome men and beautiful women, and even though they are of different races, they are still quite pleasing to the eye.
Moreover, vampires pay great attention to cultivating their personal demeanor, possessing a rare aristocratic air. They even use titles to classify their cultivation levels, just like in movies where they are often referred to as vampire counts or vampire barons, which sound very prestigious.
Wang Hao became more and more excited as he spoke, but the Grand Duke opposite him gradually turned ashen-faced, eventually becoming as black as the bottom of a pot. With a sudden burst of strength, he crushed the watercolor pen in his hand.
"I solemnly declare that those sordid legends about vampires have absolutely nothing to do with me, and I hereby reclaim this signature!"
After a long while, the Grand Duke finally calmed down and casually tore off Wang Hao's clothes at the chest. With a burst of magic, the clothes turned into dust.
The legend of vampires already infuriated him; in his eyes, it was a complete disgrace. How could he, a king, associate himself with rats that only hide in dark corners?
What annoyed him most was that these many vampire legends from later generations had given him an Personal Skill, a skill that greatly irritated him.
Now that I've finally found a fan, it turns out they're only interested in my vampire legend.
If he didn't still have some sense and know that this was an ally worth trying to win over, he would have really wanted to take out his iron spear and stab this bastard in front of him to death.
"Why are you doing this, Your Highness? Vampires are so handsome!"
Helpless, Wang Hao then used his Time Divine Ability to reverse his own time and restore the clothes that had been torn to shreds by the Grand Duke.
This move shocked everyone present, after all, it was the power of time, which was one of the top powers even among the Heroic Spirit, and very few people could control it.
