“If Rankster had gained his power by selling his soul to the devil back then, then do you think you could still stand here and sprout nonsense today?” Douglas said to the second elder coldly.

  The second elder was speechless, and he lowered his head in silence.

  “I don’t know how Rankster became the devil’s puppet, but I don’t see any problems with him becoming the chief.

  “Furthermore, I’m telling you guys now that Elizabeth is the hope of us Frost Dragons. She’s also the hope of us keeping our place among the top 10 dragon tribes.

  “If we lose her again, you guys might have to get out of this island because none of you has the power to defend it, and you guys have been trying to kill the person who made it possible for you to stay here.”


  Douglas’ voice reverberated in the great hall. All the Frost Dragon elders went white, but they still had to agree with him in silence.

  Fox was a hopeless idiot. The Frost Dragons would only lose their status even faster on the Dragon Islands if he became the chief.

  “We have to find her at all her costs, and then bring her back,” Douglas ordered coldly.

  The Boundless Sea Realm. The Demon Islands.

  An ancient gray castle towered next to the sea on the archipelago covered by gray fog.

  “As an ancestor of the vampires, I should have the right to remove you from your position, right?”


  Dracula sat at the main seat as he swirled a crystal glass filled with blood-red liquid, and smilingly spoke to the chief of the vampire race, Maynard.

  The upper echelons of the vampire race had gathered in the castle’s hall, but the current ambiance was a little stifling.

  Dracula, the vampire ancestor, had gathered them here today to discuss the reelection of the chief.

  Maynard had been the chief of the vampires for over 100 years. Everyone thought that his position would only be stabler after Dracula became the new ancestor.

  They didn’t expect the first person to target him would be Dracula.

  What was even more surprising was that the other ancestor didn’t attend the meeting. This meant that he wouldn’t interfere with the meeting’s outcome.

  This meant…


  Maynard’s chief position was completely decided by Dracula, and he could also appoint a new chief at will.

  At the same time, Camilla, who hadn’t appeared on the island for a long time, was standing behind Dracula. This gave people ideas.

  Previously, Dracula receiving the ancestorship had a lot to do with Camilla being forced to marry.

  Maynard turned grave, but he still lowered his head, and respectfully said, “Yes, that is the ancestor’s power.”


  In the vampire race, the vampire ancestor had an absolute suppression over the other vampires with his Ancestor Bloodline. That was why the ancestor had a supreme status in the vampire race.

  The chief was only managing the race’s daily affairs. The ultimate decision lay with the ancestor.

  Maynard was already very miserable as he failed to sell his daughter for gains, and even let Dracula become the vampire ancestor. He didn’t expect he would lose his position as the chief today too.

  Some vampires began to plot. Although the chief’s power wasn’t as great as the two ancestors’, the ancestors normally didn’t manage affairs, so the chief was in fact the real controller of the vampires.

  If Maynard was deposed, who would become the new chief?

  “Excellent. Seems like Big Brother still remembers our rules very well even after being the chief for so many years.” Dracula smiled sinisterly. His gaze swept over the vampires present, and he loudly said, “Maynard’s morals and behavior are appalling. He will be removed from the position of chief today, and Camilla will take over the position.”


  “Camilla?”


  All the vampires’ gazes landed on Camilla as they wore shocked expressions.

  Meanwhile, Camilla also looked taken aback. Obviously, she didn’t know about Dracula’s arrangement in advance.

  “I’m afraid that th-this arrangement isn’t appropriate, right?” Maynard looked at Dracula and Camilla with an ugly expression. “Camilla is still a child. She doesn’t have much experience with the affairs of the race. We’re in an eventful period right now. I’m afraid she will mess up if we let her take over the chief’s affairs now.”


  Many vampires nodded in agreement.

  Dracula swirled his red wine glass, and mockingly said to Maynard, “I’m afraid it’s inappropriate to say that she’s a child now, right? You know you had already forced her to marry twice for your benefits, right? Are you fit to be a father when you force a child to do such a thing?”


  Maynard’s face twitched, and yet he couldn’t rebut at all.

  “Uncle, you’re awesome!”


  Camilla looked at Dracula with little stars in her eyes. Only he would protect her like this in this life.

  As for that so-called father…


  Perhaps he had treated her as a chip that could be used to exchange for benefits since she had been born.

  The other vampires finally realized that this was a family argument, so they quickly kept quiet.

  It was over for Maynard. Dracula wanted to put Camilla in the chief’s position, and the other ancestor had already accepted it.

  The vampire race would enter the ruling period of Camilla.

  Maynard took a deep breath, and said to Dracula, “You’re fooling around. I don’t believe the great elder will agree with your decision!”


  “Ha. Since he’s not coming, it means that he has agreed with my decision.” Dracula shook his head. Taking a sip of wine, he said to Maynard, “Dear Big Brother, I am no longer the little brother whom you could boss around. I hope the term ‘fooling around’ will never appear in our conversation again.”


  A terrifying aura emerged from Dracula. Fear appeared on Maynard’s face, and his legs trembled. He couldn’t control himself, and he knelt on the floor.

  Dracula kept his aura. Still with a teasing expression, he said, “Now, do you still have an opinion?”


  Maynard lowered his head, bit his lips, and replied, “N-no…”


  Yes. Dracula was no longer that useless little brother whom Maynard had absolute control over.

  The absolute suppression of Dracula’s bloodline and power made it impossible for him to resist.

  Camilla felt gratified with a hint of sadness when she saw Maynard kneeling on the floor.

  “Very good.” Dracula nodded, and then said to all the vampires present, “Now, I declare Camilla as the new chief of the vampires. She will take on the position immediately.”


  “Greetings, Lady Chief!” All the vampires bowed to Camilla.

  Camilla, who was still in a daze, quickly said, “P-please rise.”


  She had never expected that. She thought she was just coming back with Dracula to throw her weight around. She didn’t expect to take over the chief’s position from her father.

  However, this homecoming sensation…


  …was fantastic!

  Looking at Maynard being dejected and submitted, she finally vented that seething feeling in her chest.

  She had once thought of never returning to these waters and castle, even if she had to wander forever.

  But Dracula brought her back, and gave her the foundation of life and more.
