Wang Xiaoqiang and Jing Xueyan wore outfits designed by a renowned Italian fashion designer to attend Anderi's sister's wedding ceremony.

The wedding was held at a vineyard, a unique countryside wedding that somewhat resembled the weddings in Wang Xiaoqiang's hometown, warm and joyful. The difference was that it was a bit more fashionable than those in Sanmiao Village.

During the ceremony, something strange occurred. The one hundred and twenty-six Spiritual Springs within Wang Xiaoqiang suddenly stirred from their dormant state, as if they had been greatly agitated, very similar to the first time he encountered Little Bai in human form.

Demon?

In broad daylight, could there possibly be a demon species present at the wedding venue?

Wang Xiaoqiang was utterly confused, but with so many people around, it was impossible for him to identify any demon species.

Little Bai, in an invisible state, reminded Wang Xiaoqiang, "Master, you must have noticed, the scent of blood here is so strong, and among those men in suits just now, there were vampires..."

"Vampires?" Wang Xiaoqiang's heart grew cold... "What's so formidable about vampires?"

"The vampires of legends are supernatural beings that sustain themselves for a long time by drinking the blood of humans or other creatures. Early tales of vampires originated around the Balkan Peninsula and Eastern European Slavic regions. According to legend, vampires are corpses that rise from the grave to drink people's blood. However, this is only as depicted in novels and movies... In reality, vampires are not like the ones in legends; they are half-human, half-ghost entities. They can live, study, and work like humans. They aren't mythical creatures that need to drink blood to maintain their life force, only active at night and possessing supernatural powers. They are usually evil, and they drink blood only to increase their own strength..."

Having said this, Little Bai paused, then continued...

"The agility and speed of vampires are far beyond ordinary humans. They can swiftly end a person's life and then drain their blood to enhance their own strength..."

After listening, Wang Xiaoqiang pondered for a moment... "Hmm, Little Bai, with your current abilities, can you deal with a vampire?"

"Master, my power is enough to deal with one, but if there are too many, I can't manage..." Little Bai said.

"Hmm, as long as they don't hurt anyone, we shouldn't interfere with them..." Wang Xiaoqiang instructed.

"Yes, Master."

"Also, Little Bai, your task is to protect Xueyan. Understand?" Wang Xiaoqiang communicated to Little Bai using willpower.

"Master, I understand. Rest assured," Little Bai replied.

Although vampires appeared at the wedding venue, the wedding ceremony was conducted very smoothly and successfully.

This made Wang Xiaoqiang quite puzzled.

That evening, Anderi introduced Wang Xiaoqiang to his father, Bern.

Bern was a man in his sixties, appearing rather aged, clearly no longer fit to sit on the highest throne of the Mafia.

Bern, who often kept up with current events, had already heard of Wang Xiaoqiang and had learned some details from his son. Knowing that Wang Xiaoqiang was a remarkable figure from China, this number one person of the Mafia showed considerable respect and warmth toward Wang Xiaoqiang. It was evident in their conversation that this Mafia leader was still reluctant to step down from his throne. Of course, he was even more hopeful that his own son, Anderi, would win the upcoming election and succeed him.

"Mr. Wang, I hereby entrust this matter to you..." Bern said respectfully.

"Sure thing. Since I've agreed to help, I will certainly do so," Wang Xiaoqiang responded. "May I boldly ask if your family has also invited vampires..."

"Vampires?!!"

The Bern father and son both gasped upon hearing this, their expressions not feigned, indicating that the vampires were not their invitees.

"No. Absolutely not..." Old Burn shook his head.

"There were vampires at today's wedding feast..." Wang Xiaoqiang said.

"Er..." The expressions of the Bern father and son changed, and Old Burn suddenly stood up from his chair, his brows furrowing tightly, his face growing increasingly solemn. "This, this must be something Wesley is behind..."

In this election, Anderi's biggest competitor was Conan, but Old Burn had heard early on that Wesley, in order to ascend to the pinnacle of power, had colluded with a vampire family.

"Dad, just for the sake of the throne you're sitting on, is Wesley really in cahoots with vampires...?" Anderi asked angrily.

Clearly, the Bern father and son were no strangers to vampires.

"You haven't experienced the strife during the change of power, so you don't know how brutal it can be..." Old Burn turned around and glanced at his son, "Nothing to marvel at... I think this time it's not just vampires, Thai wizards, Chinese cultivators, and Japanese ninjas that might make an appearance..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaoqiang was profoundly shocked. This was no longer a mere struggle for dominance among the dark forces. It was clearly a gathering of the Mystic Sect!

It seems that the waters here are indeed quite deep!

Just then, both Burn and his son turned their eyes on Wang Xiaoqiang. Since Wang Xiaoqiang could identify vampires, they presumed he surely must have a way to deal with them. Therefore, at this moment, they placed their hopes on Wang Xiaoqiang. Seeing him wearing a look of indifference, Old Burn spoke up, "Mr. Wang, as long as you are willing to lend a hand this time, regardless of success or failure, I will have a generous reward for you..."

Anderi chimed in at just the right moment, "Father, I have already promised to give the Moffett Vineyard to Mr. Wang..."

"The Moffett Estate is too small," said Burn, "give my Feyn Manor to Mr. Wang instead..."

On hearing this, Anderi winced in pain. He glanced at his father; the Feyn Manor was the very foundation of the Burn family's wealth. To illustrate, if they lost this election, the Burn family would lose a significant part of their influence, and the majority of the public assets would only yield them a meager profit. The Burn Family would then have to rely on the Feyn Manor for their livelihood.

However, upon further thought, Anderi came to terms with it. If they lost the election, their lives might not even be spared. And if they were to lose their lives, someone else would ultimately inherit the vast estate.

"Since I'm here, I'm going to take action," Wang Xiaoqiang said.

Wang Xiaoqiang's words were like a tranquilizer to the Burn father and son. They both bowed slightly toward Wang Xiaoqiang, expressing their gratitude, "Thank you very much, Mr. Wang."

"Just let me know what needs to be done," said Wang Xiaoqiang.

"Mr. Wang, the election is the day after tomorrow. Anderi's safety is of the utmost importance these next two days, so I hope you can ensure his well-being..."

"That won't be a problem, just arrange Anderi's room next to mine," said Wang Xiaoqiang.

"Good, I'll have someone take care of that right away..." Anderi said, and immediately made a phone call.

That evening.

Anderi moved into the room next to Wang Xiaoqiang's.

Before going to bed that night, Wang Xiaoqiang asked Little Bai to invisibly enter Anderi's room to keep watch and to alert him immediately at any sign of danger.

Little Bai went on his way to carry out the order.

Jing Xueyan's safety was naturally Wang Xiaoqiang's responsibility. After treating her private injuries with his Wood Element Spiritual Qi, Jing Xueyan felt no pain throughout the day. Moreover, by evening, she was reminiscing about the ecstasy Wang Xiaoqiang had given her the previous night. After her bath, she slipped into a set of provocative lingerie and lay on the bed in a seductive pose, looking at magazines.

Suddenly, Little Bai's voice echoed in Wang Xiaoqiang's mind. It was a telepathic transmission. "Master, there's movement. Eek? The smell of blood is strong; it must be vampires..."

Wang Xiaoqiang's heart skipped a beat. He swiftly dressed, leaped out of bed, went out, and then, with a heavy kick, broke open the door to Anderi's room and entered.

Anderi woke from his sleep, fearing an assassin had arrived, and immediately pulled a handgun from under his pillow, aiming it at Wang Xiaoqiang. Sensing the danger, one hundred and twenty-eight Spiritual Springs burst forth from Wang Xiaoqiang's body, almost at the speed of light, forming a multi-colored shield in front of him, blocking right before the gun muzzle.

When Anderi saw it was Wang Xiaoqiang, he lowered his gun and let out a huge sigh of relief, his brow covered in sweat.

Just then, two figures, like agile monkeys, approached the window. They slashed the aluminum window with their hands, whoosh whoosh! The aluminum window was sliced open as easily as a knife through tofu.

Little Bai had gone back to protect Jing Xueyan the moment Wang Xiaoqiang entered the room.

Seeing that there were indeed assassins, and such terrifyingly powerful ones, Anderi acted quickly. He jumped out of bed and shrank behind Wang Xiaoqiang.

The assassins who entered through the window were extremely agile, and they carried no weapons. It was clear they had sliced open the aluminum window with their hands, or more accurately, with their knife-like nails. Moreover, as the two intruders came into the room, the one hundred and twenty-eight Spiritual Springs surrounding Wang Xiaoqiang vibrated unanimously. Thus, the identity of the two assassins could not be more obvious—they were vampires.

"Anderi, what's the use of hiding? Come out and meet your death..." One of the vampires opened his mouth, exposing two long sharp fangs.

They didn't even glance at Wang Xiaoqiang; in their eyes, this Chinese "bodyguard" was totally negligible.

The vampires attacked. They moved incredibly fast—one dashed in front of Wang Xiaoqiang, while the other appeared in front of Anderi.

At that moment, Anderi could no longer contain his fear. With a terrified shout, he pulled the trigger of his gun at the vampire.
