Chapter 451: My Job Panel Is Somehow an Anime Style? Chapter 209

Just as the grotesque palm was about to cover the screen, it suddenly froze in midair.

Realizing the peeper had already left, the tattooed man—who had somehow gained an extra arm tattooed on his back—raised an eyebrow: "Ran off?"

He hadn't even managed to catch the other's aura; this was the first time such a thing had happened. One had to know that anyone who'd previously dared to spy on him had met with rather unpleasant ends.

"Tch."

Clicking his tongue with some regret, the tattooed man drew the arm on his back back into his body.

Meanwhile, Yajade standing off to the side wore a slightly sullen expression, and the sea of blood at his feet grew increasingly turbulent along with his mood.

And to think he'd bragged so boldly, only to end up needing his partner to bail him out.

More critically, the Vampire Sovereign never knew who had been spying from the shadows. Wan Xing that his conversation with the tattooed man hadn't revealed too much information.

'It shouldn't be those two, otherwise I'd probably already be dead.' Thinking of this, Yajade let out a slight breath of relief. 'But just who could it be?'

He didn't think the one spying on him was a stranger—it had to be someone who'd had a past grievance with him.

Fortunately, most of them had already been converted by him into blood slaves, so narrowing it down wouldn't be too difficult.

Recalling that gaze that had made him feel so deeply uncomfortable, Yajade couldn't help squinting slightly.

The Vampire Sovereign vaguely felt that the gaze contained some extremely dangerous qualities, but unfortunately had no way of discerning them.

"Since the nuisance is gone, can we continue now?"

At that moment, the tattooed man's voice pulled Yajade back to reality.

He drew a light breath to steady his emotions, then immediately regained his earlier composed demeanor, a perfectly measured smile appearing on his face: "Naturally."

Dealing with the peeper could wait—for now, the most important thing to him was the upcoming negotiation.

No one could stop him from taking the next step.

No one!

……

Elsewhere.

As Li Ang voluntarily ceased his spying, his line of sight began to plummet, until it finally returned to the laboratory.

Seeing that Kaius's corpse still lay quietly on the workbench, he couldn't help sighing.

Sure enough, 【Great Luo Insight】 made one unable to resist becoming a peeping tom.

It's all Gu Gu Jiting's fault!

Fortunately, he hadn't come away empty-handed—at the very least, based on the conversation between Yajade and the tattooed man just now, he could judge that the other party probably wouldn't have time to worry about what was happening in a remote region like Morabis Star in the short term.

As for what this Vampire Sovereign actually wanted to do, Li Ang had no intention of investigating further—chances were it wouldn't affect him anyway.

Besides, without Kaius as a medium, spying on a sixth-tier professional across such a vast distance with his current strength was clearly beyond him.

After briefly settling his emotions, Li Ang continued modifying Kaius—after all, if he didn't get moving soon, the corpse would be cold.

As time passed, the once tidy laboratory gradually became smeared with fresh blood.

Li Ang had long been prepared for this—after all, last time when he made Christine into a 【Pseudo-Servant】, those vampires had displayed an absurdly exaggerated amount of bleeding.

Artificial-human maids in black-and-white dresses carried buckets as they shuttled back and forth through the laboratory, constantly mopping the bloodstained floor, and from time to time a maid would wipe the sweat from Li Ang's brow.

【Living Puppet Master】, as a third-tier profession, was ultimately still somewhat strained when handling a fifth-tier corpse.

Fortunately, with several other professions assisting, Li Ang could barely manage.

After an unknown length of time, he finally completed the modification of Kaius's corpse—this was also the first fifth-tier 【Pseudo-Servant】 he had ever made.

Looking at the black-haired vampire before him who seemed to be merely sleeping, Li Ang, attended by the artificial-human maids, removed his gloves, then extracted Kaius's soul from 【Ama-no-Miwachi】.

Before the former Secret Blood Company executive could react, Li Ang applied the Third Law to him and stuffed him into the body.

A moment later, Kaius slowly opened his eyes.

He stared at the unfamiliar ceiling, momentarily dazed.

Just then, a voice utterly devoid of emotion reached his ears.

"Come here."

Upon hearing this, Kaius shuddered and instantly came to his senses, scrambling up and standing before the owner of the voice.

"How do you feel?"

Faced with the question, the black-haired vampire honestly stated his feelings.

Apart from the significant drop in strength taking some getting used to, there were no other issues.

Hearing his answer, Li Ang first gestured for the artificial-human maids to record the experimental data and file it away, then said: "From now on, you will serve my younger brother as you serve me. Understood?"

Going through with the whole act—having come this far, he naturally didn't mind adding another layer of insurance.

Hearing these words, Kaius hurriedly lowered his head: "Yes, my lord Norton."

". Hmph."

After leaving behind a cold snort that made the black-haired vampire somewhat afraid, Li Ang vanished in an instant.

Yet even so, Kaius still did not dare raise his head.

Only after confirming that Li Ang had truly left did he gradually relax his taut body.

Feeling his current state, an extremely complicated expression appeared on Kaius's face.

There was no such thing as a free lunch in this world—to gain something, one naturally had to give something up.

To break free of the blood contract, he had willingly become the dog of another powerful existence. The two were essentially no different—yeah, right.

Having spent so many years among the Bersha clan, Kaius understood deeply what fate awaited him if he kept going down that path. In fact, over the years he had frequently been influenced by the Sovereign.

But now?

Carefully savoring the mental relief, the corners of Kaius's eyes couldn't help but moisten.

Farewell forever, cage!

And just as he was indulging in melancholy, a maid stepped forward and gestured for him to follow.

Seeing this, Kaisus hurried after him.

No matter what fate awaits him in the future, it's better than staying by the Lord's side.

Meanwhile, in the Viceroy's mansion, Li Ang once again disguised himself as his ordinary Rank Four form.

He still needed to handle the aftermath of Kaisus's transformation—he couldn't just leave the man as a 【Simulated Follower】 and abandon him.

At that moment, Karina suddenly came to find him.

"Master, Master Yize has arrived on Morabiss Star and hopes to meet with you."

Following last time's lesson, this Rank Four alchemist now showed great respect—though the influence of 【Dual-Full Hands】 certainly played a part.

Hearing her words, Li Ang nodded slightly and said calmly, "I understand. Arrange it—location will be the Viceroy's mansion."

"Yes."

Yet after watching Karina depart, Li Ang couldn't help frowning.

Strange. He had not sensed Master Yize's aura at all. Logically, a Rank Six alchemical master's aura should have been glaringly obvious under 【Zhou Tian Changes' Principle】 and 【Qi Pattern Arrangement】.

'Never mind. I'll find out what's going on when I meet him.'

With this thought, Li Ang sent a message to Sophia.

Out of caution, he felt it necessary to set up some safety measures in advance.

Given the involvement of a planetary Viceroy and an alchemical master, Li Ang did not wait long before meeting Master Yize.

Yet when he saw the man with his own eyes, his heart jolted in surprise.

Seeing the young dragon's movements pause slightly, the bald man covered in tattoos smiled warmly.

"What? Do you know me, kid?"
