Chapter 93: The Sun Never Sets Empire

Speak, where are the other vampires?

Van Helsing, stepping on Boya whose limbs had been broken and whose face was full of humiliation, looked down at her from above and asked coolly.

"Do you want to know?" Boya sneered.

"I refuse to tell you! Find it yourselves! Hahaha!"

She laughed.

Van Helsing's expression remained unchanged, he said nothing, only lifted her and walked toward the door.

As they approached the sunlight, it grew ever brighter.

Boya panicked, hurriedly shouted, "Wait!"

"Release me, and I'll tell you!"

Van Helsing paused his steps: "You have no right to set conditions."

He continued forward.

Boya could already feel the scorching heat of the sunlight, making her extremely uncomfortable, her mind in utter panic:

"I say, I say! London! They've all gone to London!"

"I came to... the villages outside London.............. Ah!!!"

Before she could finish, flames instantly ignited on Boya's body!

Van Helsing hurriedly threw her out.

Beside them, Feiluo, just as he tried to rescue her, realized the fire was terrifying; in an instant it burned Boya to ashes, leaving only a few specks of ash on the floor!!

The two exchanged a glance, each seeing the other's speculation.

It was someone behind her who acted!

They all looked toward London together.

Satan said there was a familiar scent inside London, and Boya had also been sent to the villages outside London.............

"Alright, stop looking; let's go back and search."

Yu Lin walked over, patted their shoulders:

"If we go back now, we can still make it in time for dinner."

Hearing that, the two withdrew their gaze: "Indeed."

"Let's go."

London.

Inside a Church of the National Church.

Christianity has three major branches: Catholicism, Orthodoxy, and Protestantism.

Catholicism follows the papal system; clergy must remain celibate, and they not only believe in the Holy Bible but also in Holy Tradition.

Holy Tradition is the divine word of the Lord Christ and the Holy Spirit entrusted to the apostles, passed down by apostolic successors (Bishops) through oral proclamation; it includes oral truths not written in the Holy Bible, both serving as sources of faith.

Catholicism holds that both should be equally revered.

Orthodoxy has a patriarch system, no Pope, also believes in Holy Tradition, but its scope differs from that of Catholicism.

However, their priests may marry, while bishops and above must remain celibate.

Protestantism outright rejects papal authority, upholds the sole authority of the Holy Bible, and does not recognize Holy Tradition.

Their pastors may marry; pastors differ from priests—priests can only be male, but pastors can be female.

Pastors rank slightly below bishops.

Additionally.

Many Protestant denominations reject the veneration of saints, believing saints are no different from ordinary Christians and should not be prayed to, emphasizing a direct relationship between Christ and believers.

Because many saints are honorific titles given by various Christian sects to deceased clergy and believers, not chosen by God, they lack true sanctity.

But Yu Lin is different.

At that time, the Christians present saw with their own eyes their Lord perform a Divine Miracle, showing it was approved by the Lord, not chosen by them; he truly possessed holiness!

So, regardless of any rules, just worship and be done with it; if you have questions, take them up with the saints!

Could those who set the rules know more than the Lord? First earn the Lord's favor before speaking!

Speaking of the National Church again.

Yingguo's National Church is one of the Protestant denominations, having broken away from Catholicism during the 16th‑century Reformation.

At this moment.

Dracula had just finished the service under the priest's guidance.

He thought, "That was quick; this Protestant liturgy is much simplified."

He, like the others, stood up, thanked the priest, then turned and left the Church.

At the doorway.

Jonathan had been waiting in front of the carriage for a long time.

Because he had finished his business in the morning, and this time Dracula was coming, he brought Dracula along.

Seeing Dracula emerge, he walked to Dracula's side:

"Mr. Dracula, your properties have already been rented out in thirteen units, and the remaining ones have been entrusted; they should be fully leased soon."

"As for your plans to establish factories and companies, this is what I..."

The two stepped onto the carriage.

Jonathan took out a notebook and handed it to Dracula, its pages densely filled with information.

The carriage moved forward.

Dracula slowly leafed through it, and after comprehending all its contents, he looked up and said with a smile:

"Jonathan, you truly are a trustworthy person."

"When my company is established, I will hire you to manage it and give you a raise."

Jonathan, hearing this, immediately expressed his thanks:

"Thank you for your praise!"

Dracula said nothing further.

The atmosphere fell into silence for a moment.

He gazed at the distant, setting sun, his eyes deep.

After a long while, he suddenly asked:

"Why is Britain called the Sun‑Never‑Sets Empire?"

A proud expression appeared on Jonathan's face; he straightened his back and said, "Because Britain's territories span the globe; wherever the sun shines, our flag flies!"

"That is why it is called the Sun‑Never‑Sets Empire, representing our strength!"

"I see." Dracula nodded slightly, his gaze falling outside to the warship docked at the harbor, and whispered:

"Sun‑never‑sets ……"

"I once hoped my hometown could become the strongest dynasty, but ……"

Jonathan, hearing his words, couldn't help recalling matters about his hometown.

Principality of Valaquia.

In 1859, Valaquia merged with Moldavia, forming the "Romania United Principality," which later upgraded to the Kingdom of Romania.

Hmm, the upgrade refers to the years just before he went to Romania.

Dracula, being of the Vlad family, though not the earlier Vlad, was given this name by his father, suggesting he also harbors great ambitions ………

Jonathan shook his head, stopped pondering, and laughed:

"Sir, if you can expand your company worldwide, wouldn't that be another kind of Sun‑Never‑Sets?"

"I believe with your ability, you can definitely achieve it!"

"Thank you for your steadfast belief." Dracula withdrew his gaze, gave a slight smile, and patted his shoulder:

"Jonathan, I want you in my 'Sun‑Never‑Sets Empire.'"

"Will you help me?"

Jonathan, seeing how much he valued him, was moved and immediately promised:

"I will!"

"Very well." Dracula's smile widened.

"Then, come to my residence the night after tomorrow; I have a gift for you."
