Chapter 263

He had already lent the vampire artifact to Moli.0

That artifact, which he himself had been reluctant to use, was now in Moli's hands.0

But he had no choice.0

Since the emergence of that hotel, humans had become increasingly powerful, with more and more advanced weapons at their disposal.0

If this continued, vampires might soon find themselves without a place to survive.0

And yet, vampires had no way of locating the hotel themselves.0

So, he could only place his hopes in Moli.0

He hoped Moli wouldn't let him down, that Moli would destroy the hotel and return the artifact safely.0

If other vampires in the district found out that he had dared to lend the artifact to a human... he would be doomed!0

"Go see if Moli has returned yet," he repeatedly instructed his subordinates to keep watch.0

But each time, the subordinates returned with the same report: "Not yet, sir."0

"Why is it taking so long?" Buchuan Wa Zi paced nervously within the hotel. "It's been a day and a night... could something have gone wrong? No, that's impossible! I know Moli's abilities, and besides, he has our artifact with him!"0

"Sir, please don't worry," a subordinate tried to comfort him. "Perhaps Moli is still working on a plan. Since he dared to come to you to borrow the artifact, it means he must have some confidence in his chances of success."0

"Let's hope so."0

Buchuan Wa Zi thought about it and found some truth in what his subordinate said.0

He felt slightly more at ease.0

"Bring me a glass of wine."0

"Yes, sir."0

The subordinate quickly brought Buchuan Wa Zi a glass of wine.0

This wine was made from human blood, a favorite among vampires.0

Buchuan Wa Zi had just taken the wine glass when he heard a subordinate outside shouting in panic: "This is bad, sir!"0

The subordinate then rushed in, his face pale and his hands trembling slightly.0

"What happened?" Buchuan Wa Zi asked, his brow furrowed.0n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

An ominous feeling suddenly crept over him.0

"Sir, Moli... he lost!"0

"What did you say?" Buchuan Wa Zi's face turned ashen. "Then where is he now? And the artifact?"0

"He vanished, apparently sent somewhere by the hotel owner!"0

Even as a vampire, the subordinate couldn't hide his fear as he spoke.0

"And the artifact? Where is the artifact?" Buchuan Wa Zi roared.0

What he cared about most wasn't Moli, but his precious artifact!0

The subordinate trembled, too afraid to speak.0

"Speak up!"0

"The artifact... it's shattered..."0

Upon hearing the word "shattered," Buchuan Wa Zi's mind went blank. He stumbled back a few steps and fell into the chair behind him.0

The wine glass in his hand slipped and shattered on the floor, splashing wine everywhere.0

"Sir! Are you alright?"0

Buchuan Wa Zi gasped for breath, trying to think of a plan, but his mind was a complete blank.0

"How do you know this?" another subordinate anxiously asked.0

"I just went outside and encountered two humans. Seeing they were armed, I didn't act rashly but instead followed them discreetly. I overheard their conversation, and that's how I learned about all this."0

"Are those two humans staying at the hotel?"0

"It seems so. I noticed the weapons they were carrying looked like the kind that only appeared after the hotel arrived."0

As soon as this subordinate finished speaking, Buchuan Wa Zi suddenly screamed in desperation: "That useless Moli! A waste, a liar! He's going to get me killed!"0
