This resounding statement was undoubtedly another earth-shattering piece of news, leaving countless media outlets watching this public video meeting stunned and speechless.
The death of President Norris was already suspicious to smart people, but no one expected it to be like this!
Although Yin Shang’s accusations lack any evidence, each of his arguments, like Capilison’s, is highly persuasive and credible.
Because, in every detail, they matched up with the information released when the vampire queen "declared war" some time ago.
“You’ve never treated me like an older brother. And from that day on, I no longer have you as my younger brother.”
...
...
...
Yin Shang signaled to his staff to end the video call; he had nothing more to say.
But at that moment, a fierce killing intent, unique to demons, flashed across Capilison's eyes.
"Yin Shang, I'll give you an address later. Go there in three days and we'll settle our issues once and for all."
"This is your last chance."
Yin Shang knew, of course, that this guy no longer wanted to waste his energy on their affairs.
He wanted to get rid of Yin Shang, this thorn in his side, as soon as possible, and the Vampire Council naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity to strike at the Spiel Group.
Although he knew perfectly well that this was a trap, Yin Shang still scoffed without changing his expression.
"I'm almost out of patience too. Wash my neck and wait."
Chapter 226 Hitting a wall
Yin Shang had already killed his younger brother with his own hands on that night ten years ago, or at least that's what he believed.
The current Kapilisson is nothing more than a demon in human skin.
To atone for his sins, he resolutely stepped into the darkness, transforming into a vampire—
"Now, the blood flowing in my veins has no connection whatsoever with the so-called Yin family or the Spyr family."
Yin Shang gripped the hilt of the knife tightly, gently pulled it out, and stared at it for a long time.
With a crisp sound of it being sheathed, the demonic weapon vanished from his hand, turning into a bloody mist and dissipating.
During this time, Yin Shang has not slacked off in his training. He shuttles between Ye Liuli, Alexei, and Ruo Keke, dragging these three "masters" through high-intensity training in turn with a bitter and resentful face, making them complain endlessly.
He first learned from Ye Liuli how to form a contract with a magical weapon; then he learned from Alexei how to infuse blood energy into weapons, thus using blood energy through weapons; and finally he learned the skills of wielding cold weapons from Ruo Keke.
Time did not allow him to learn anything more profound, so after learning the skills he wanted from the three people in a superficial way, he "graduated" on his own, just as he had done in the beginning by "becoming an apprentice" on his own.
...
"Brother Yin..."
“Solid, this is a family matter between him and me, so you don’t need to come along.”
"Yes, I'll listen to Brother Yin."
...
At Yin Shang's request, he refused any help from the Vampire Council or even Solid, insisting on going to the address given by Capilison alone.
“A fierce battle is inevitable, but this has nothing to do with you. I will not only teach that devil a lesson, but I will also make him come back alive.”
He smiled and patted Solid's head.
"A real man keeps his word."
Yin Shang knew that Capilison would not come to see him in person, and Capilison knew his brother's temperament very well—
Yin Shang would inevitably come to the appointment, just to vent his anger and curb the arrogance of the Spier Group; while Capilison also wanted to get rid of this big troublemaker... In the end, this mutually agreeable banquet was reached.
...
...
..
Judging from the results, Yin Shang's actions were very effective.
He returned a few days later without a word, covered in injuries, his clothes in tatters.
Although he was missing an arm, for vampires... even if all that's left is a head, as long as they receive timely treatment, they can be cured. Losing an arm or a leg is no big deal at all.
Although Capilison did not show up, he did arrange an extremely "luxurious" lineup, just as Yin Shang had expected, to ensure that Yin Shang, who had become a high-ranking vampire, would disappear from this world.
...
Yin Shang took a miniature camera out of his pocket and tossed it to Ye Liuli.
"Here you go. I don't know when it broke, and the recording probably isn't as much as you think."
Ye Liuli asked, "Did you record the important parts?"
Yin Shang waved his hand: "Probably. Let me have some peace and quiet first."
...
After watching the video, Ye Liuli immediately understood why Yin Shang looked so dejected.
The miniature camera recorded the scene of Yin Shang fighting against more than ten "evolvers" all by himself.
The group's most elite evolved humans, the "Chess Clan," are almost wiped out. It seems that the group did not send the remaining Chess Clan to deal with Yin Entropy, but they still sent these second-tier modified humans in an attempt to crush Yin Entropy with their numerical advantage.
The biggest reason for Yin Shang's disappointment was not that Capilison did not show up—everyone knew that President Spier would not come at all.
It's because he went to such great lengths to kill all the evolved beings, and not a single one of them was a chess player!
"That bastard Spyder, does he look down on me?"
Yin Shang said with a frustrated expression.
"I went through all that trouble just to take down a bunch of weaklings, doesn't that make me look like I was tricked?!"
Ye Liuli rolled her eyes at him:
"Come on, you're lucky to be alive. If any of those dozen or so 'small fry' had even managed to become a [Chess Player], you wouldn't be sitting here spouting nonsense right now."
"Besides, even if you win against the chess fans, it won't have much effect on the current public opinion war, because the general public doesn't know what chess fans are. At most, your victory will only make the group realize one thing—"
"The fact that the vampires could kill their 'new humans' with a newly recruited member proves that their 'new humans' are nothing, which is like slapping Caprison in the face... and that's all."
Ye Liuli looked at him with a mocking expression.
"Unfortunately, you didn't manage it. He completely avoided the possibility of being humiliated and almost didn't let you come back alive."
She looked back at the computer screen, clicked the mouse, and uploaded the processed video.
"Don't be too discouraged, Yin Shang. Because these evolved beings in the video just happen to confirm the group's criminal activities, and their unrestrained words before you fought with them became the most powerful evidence."
This was a scheme devised by the vampire queen.
Before Yin Shang set off, Ludwig had a plan – she taught Yin Shang some suggestive statements to get the enemy to say things that seemed insignificant but could actually serve as solid evidence.
Just as Ludwig had predicted, not all evolved beings were as cunning and intelligent as the chess players. Yin Shang easily extracted some weighty statements from them, which were recorded by the miniature camera along with the battle footage.
"The group is currently under attack from multiple forces and is in a precarious situation. They probably wouldn't mind adding fuel to the fire, would they?"
Ye Liuli said with a cold smile.
"It's a pity. Even a centipede with a hundred legs doesn't die easily. On the surface, the group seems to be on the verge of collapse, but this level of weakness doesn't even begin to touch the foundation of their rule. We still need to think of some more effective methods..."
She glanced at Yin Shang.
"And you too. The Queen knows she can't persuade you, so she sent you to this 'trap.' Now you know? You alone can't even touch a hair on Capilison's head. You'd better just obediently follow her arrangements."
Yin Shang said helplessly, "Sitting here like this isn't a solution. The group of lawyers they employ just keep delaying the court proceedings. Once the public anger subsides, they'll be able to catch their breath and deal with us again."
叶柳离耸耸肩:“我是见识过永夜女王的本事,你大可放心。而且她似乎还留着什么后手...”加|}1*=$-1%+7$&4一+零*>}五}/酒-|+@~@5+9+/4|}9$~
Jingle Bell--
The old-fashioned telephone on the table rang with a retro ringtone, and Ye Liuli picked up the receiver and put it to her ear.
"Hello, it's me, Captain Blood Shadow 'Liuli'. What's up?"
The next instant, Ye Liuli's expression became extremely solemn, and then she stared in disbelief.
"..."
click!
She hung up the phone and said to Yin Shang:
"Quickly, go and inform the Queen!"
...
Yin Shang's intuition told him that something terrible was about to happen.
"what happened?"
...
"A large human army has gathered around the Castle of Eternal Night... completely surrounding it from all sides!"
Chapter 227 Fighting
What is the background of these people?
"Mercenaries. It seems the group will stop at nothing to circumvent the law. They've recruited mercenaries from war-torn regions like North Africa, who are not under any government jurisdiction, intending to silence you physically. Faced with such money-grubbing outlaws, our United Council cannot offer any assistance, neither morally nor logically... We are very sorry."
"It's alright, I understand your difficulties."
Ludwig hung up the phone. In the darkness, her blood-red eyes radiated a chilling aura.
"It seems the group no longer cares about the little face they have left."
...
"What should we do, Your Majesty?"
A minister asked with great concern.
...
The vampire queen glared at her coldly.
"What, do you think I, the Queen, would be afraid of humans? The Eternal Queen has never been afraid in the past thousand years, so how could I possibly be afraid?"
She rose from the throne and descended the throne steps.
"Some time ago, I declared war on the Spier Group, which means that we can resort to force against each other."
"Originally, I was worried about what excuse to take action, but I didn't expect that the hypocritical group could no longer keep up the act. Ha, how ridiculous."
The group's objective was very clear. After the failed attempt to entrap Yin Shang at the Hongmen Banquet, the group quickly realized that the vampires were constantly using their advantage in public opinion to seize territory on the battlefield of public opinion. The grudges that the group had accumulated over the years erupted at this moment, and the scale of the conflict had long since escaped the group's control.
As long as the vampire council keeps quiet, everything will be fine—that's probably the conclusion the group has reached.
Because the Vampire Council was the instigator of this massive protest. Even among the humans, many supporters emerged in solidarity with the graceful, elegant, and aloof Vampire Queen.
Throughout the entire process, the Vampire Council, at the Queen's request, restrained its anger, demonstrating its gentlemanly conduct of "victims not arguing with perpetrators." Even when someone like Yin Shang occasionally hurled insults in public meetings, his arguments were so eloquent and factual that they did not damage the overall image of the vampires.
The vampires' supporters are growing daily, but as long as the vampire council is kept completely silent until the vampires truly gain the upper hand, the corporation can still use its powerful control to make everyone "forget" all the scandals a few years later.
Yin Shang actually managed to escape from the ambush and encirclement, and the group realized that their tricks were no longer effective against the Vampire Council.
Then let's just take action.
...
"Reporting to the Queen. According to the Blood Shadow Scouts' reconnaissance, these mercenaries surrounding the castle come from all over the world, and they have all erased their markings. The group does not want to leave any evidence against them."
After listening to Ye Liuli's report, Ludwig snorted coldly.
"Being smart."
Mercenaries without any markings... This means that even if the vampires were to kill, they would have no evidence to prove their origins.
...
After a moment of silence, Queen Ludwig of the Night made a cold and ruthless decision.
"Let all the ungrateful humans witness the wrath of the vampires."
She closed her eyes and, through her ruling power, issued an inviolable royal decree to all the warriors in the castle.
