Hearing this, Wen Zhuhei perked up in relief as he smiled. Though he didn’t know if he had passed or not, Chen Shujin had at least let it go.
Chen Shujin raised a brow as he saw Wen Zhuhei’s small action before he then said, “Here.” Then, he handed a small stack of paper to Wen Zhuhei.
Wen Zhuhei accepted it under Chen Shujin’s eyes, reading the first sentence as he looked back up in shock. “You want to enter the human cities?”
Chen Shujin nodded his head. “I’ve been able to pull some strings within Jiibeng, the capital of Achin. You also need to take a look at Achin first before you take over the vampires. I have already have some of the vampires in the city help us with our identities.”
Hearing this, Wen Zhuhei didn’t say anything else as he began reading the paper carefully to understand what Chen Shujin meant.
First off, his name was the same. He was supposed to be Chen Shujin’s cousin. His identity was made to blend in with the rich families of Achin and the higher-class people. He had been living abroad in AUS and had just recently returned back to Achin.
Basically, not many knew of how he looked like but many should know of his name? It seems like Chen Shujin had been planning this for a while as many people already knew about Chen Shujin and Wen Zhuhei. And it also seemed like many vampires had already been turned into the rich families of Achin.
Chen Shujin was the CEO and chairman of Chen Corp, a company that had been built a few years but had quickly stepped up into the list of companies, listing at 3rd place in the world, making hundreds of billions.
Wen Zhuhei crinkled his brows at this. “How were you able to do this?”
“Ah, the company? I had some time while you were gone so I managed it. Since we also have our vampires working there, they were also able to manage other things. I estimated that you would be coming back around this year so I made preparations for you to experience how the rich are treated. Plus, I’ve been alive for thousands of years, I’m probably the richest man in the world.” Chen Shujin explained quickly.
It wasn’t wrong, since he had managed companies before, he basically did the same. Since the original soul had been alive for a very long time, his bank account was a staggering number. In Chen Shujin’s pocket right now, he had a couple trillions from over 5,000 years of making money. Since vampires lived for a very long time, they were basically walking banks.
“How do you-how did you do all of this?” Wen Zhuhei knew that Chen Shujin was fully capable of many things, but he didn’t know just how talented the man really was.
“I visit the human cities quite a lot. And even if I don’t show up in person, it’s not like the humans know what my face looks like. All they know is the Vampire Lord and that’s about it. While they may fear the Vampire Lord, to them, I’m Chen Shujin, the man who built Chen Corp.” Chen Shujin didn’t know how to word his answer so he simply said that.
Wen Zhuhei could see Chen Shujin’s conflicted face as he tried to answer and he struggled to hide his smile. Chen Shujin probably thought of this as something normal, even though it wasn’t, and didn’t know how to properly explain it.
“So, how are we going to leave?” Wen Zhuhei quickly asked. He had a rough idea of how he should act now. It wasn’t anything different from the norm, he just needed to be more careful. Thinking this, his fingers traced the ring now on his finger.
“You should know Shu Hezhen, right?” Chen Shujin asked in turn.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Wen Zhuhei nodded his head. Shu Hezhen was in the paper. He was second in power, or referred to as the president of Chen Corp and helped took care of matters when Chen Shujin was not able to do so. He was also in Chen Shujin’s clan and was a half-blood vampire nearing the age of 3,400 years.
“He’ll be coming to pick us up in my private jet tomorrow morning. I also have our villa prepared, everything is made for you to simply enjoy your time there. If anyone offends you, just throw money in their face. Most of Achin’s rich kids do that, it’s something that they picked up from their unruly ancestors.” Saying this, Chen Shujin eyes held disgust.
Wen Zhuhei showed a light smile at Chen Shujin’s words, his own eyes lighting up in warmth. It had been five years since they last met in person yet Chen Shujin still remained the same.
“Alright. In the mean time, my job is to think about what I intend to do in the future regarding the enmity between the humans and the vampires?” Wen Zhuhei stated, unsure as he looked towards Chen Shujin to see his reaction.
“Something along that line. But, mainly, I’m trying to get you used to the human’s way of living, especially when you have status and money. The humans are a little special in their way of scheming.” Chen Shujin said as his golden eyes narrowed. Especially girls who wished to climb up the ladders by seducing people. If even one girl tries to trip in front of Wen Zhuhei, things were not going to end up pretty.
“I see. Then I will read through all of this first before I meet up with you later. Hongxue went back to meet the other vampires but if you need to know about my progress, she should have all my papers ready for you.” Wen Zhuhei quickly said in an attempt to escape Chen Shujin’s piercing eyes that were staring straight towards him. He really needed to get used to this, but his heart was not used to it, not even one bit.
Chen Shujin saw how Wen Zhuhei’s ears turned red for a split second and pushed down his smirk. Wow, it looks like in this world, their roles would be switched. Not that he minded…
–
Shu Hezhen entered inside an extravagant company, wearing a black suit with a 20 million watch on. His suit was worth millions, everything he wore was enough to sustain a family for the rest of their life. As he walked in with his assistant, Li Yinlui, a half-blood vampire, the workers inside turned to them and greeted.
“Good morning, President Shu!”
Shu Hezhen nodded at this as he continued walking towards the elevator designated for the executives of the company and the higher ranking people.
As they stood inside the elevator, Li Yinlui tapped his glasses, deactivating the cameras inside the elevator and brought out his list of papers.
“Have you already read through what His Majesty ordered you to do?” Li Yinlui asked as he took out a small jewel with one hand, taking his glasses off with the other hand. Then, looking over his glasses, he pushed the small jewel onto an empty space next to the rim and put it back on. Well, it was more specific to say his artifact.
Shu Hezhen nodded his head as he also got prepared. Reaching into his breast-pocket, he grabbed a black stud and pushed it into his right ear, clicking it in place as he finished. “Yes, I’ve already told everyone already. Today, they asked for us to meet with them so that they could prepare everything for His Majesty’s visit. He would also want to look at the company that he started.”
When the elevators opened, Li Yinlui tapped his glasses again to activate the cameras. They walked into the hall, reaching the furthest room they turned into it.
Li Yinlui opened the door as Shu Hezhen stepped in. Li Yinlui didn’t enter, waiting outside by the door.
Already in the meeting room, seven vampires were already waiting. These seven vampires were seven members of Aces, Chen Shujin’s most loyal followers.
Seeing that things were about to begin, Li Yinlui closed the door and stood guard so that no one would be able to enter without permission.
Li Yinlui already knew what was going to be discussed as Chen Shujin had been in contact with him. Li Yinlui was considered close to Chen Shujin as he had grown up with Chen Shujin teaching him quite a bit about the vampire politics. Hence, that was why Li Yinlui didn’t do much when Chen Shujin decided to toss him into Jiibeng to watch over the company he set up.
Shu Hezhen was Chen Shujin’s fifth general, else, the fifth vampire he had turned. Shu Hezhen was essentially a very competent person, taking over Chen Shujin’s job without complaint.
Now that Chen Shujin was coming back and even bringing the Young Master with him, the vampires that were of Chen Shujin’s clan had long been alerted, especially those who had power, whether it be in the show-biz world or those who had built their own companies. Everyone was trying to please Chen Shujin in any way possible.
Thinking this, Li Yinlui pressed the artifact on his glasses.
‘What is everyone saying?’
Not long after, he had a reply.
‘Not much, mainly talking about how to spread His Majesty’s arrival as fast as possible. We don’t want to risk anyone angering His Majesty when he returns.’
‘Make sure to tell Aces that he is also bringing the Young Master.’
‘Already done, they have made preparations for that too.’
‘Finish up as quickly as possible, we still need to get His Majesty.’
‘I know, it won’t be long. Everyone is just double-checking that they have everything prepared.’
Just then, seeing someone walk towards him, Li Yinlui put down his hand and looked at who it was.
Ru Xiaowei, one of the rare humans in the company. She had just entered the company recently.
“Assistant Li, the press have been alerted about Chairman Chen’s return, shall we block the news or let them keep the forums up?” Ru Xiaowei asked as she stopped in her track when Li Yinlui walked towards her instead.
Li Yinlui quickly walked towards her to keep her away from reaching the door.
“Just keep them up, I’ll check which ones can be kept up later and you can contact the ones that need to be taken down.” Saying this, Li Yinlui didn’t display anything odd as he walked towards Ru Xiaowei.
Ru Xiaowei nodded her head with his reply.
“Is that it?” Li Yinlui asked in turn when he saw that Ru Xiaowei wasn’t moving. Then, his eyes glinted secretly as he realized what was wrong.
“No, there are some things I will need to discuss about. Assistant Li, can we find somewhere more private?” Ru Xiaowei brought up as she bit her lips, her eyes looking down.
Li Yinlui’s eyes narrowed in on her actions. It looks like they hadn’t been careful enough with their security.
But, not missing one beat, Li Yinlui replied, “Alright, let’s go to my office.”
As Li Yinlui led the way, Ru Xiaowei followed, a smile suddenly appearing on her face. She looked back at the doors that blocked the meeting but followed after Li Yinlui.
Li Yinlui continued leading the way, making sure that Ru Xiaowei was following him. When they arrived, Li Yinlui closed the door, locking it in the process.
It didn’t take long before Ru Xiaowei suddenly pounced in his direction. Li Yinlui scoffed in annoyance as he kicked her in the stomach and grabbed her head, to which her eyes suddenly glinted red. From her mouth, two fangs appeared as they pierced through her lips and she slammed her head into Li Yinlui’s.
Li Yinlui merely grasped her neck, enabling her from doing anything else as she choked for air.
A vampire hunter. And it looks like the vampire hunters were trying to gain the abilities of the vampires too, but they failed rather greatly at that.
Li Yinlui didn’t hesitate as his hand reached for her mouth, pulling her jaw open, dislocating it in the process as his eyes glowed blue. Then, his fingers grasped for her fangs and pulled them out, a scream of pain was muffled as it came out of Ru Xiaowei’s throat. Li Yinlui grasped onto her neck even tighter as he broke her fangs.
Once Ru Xiaowei finally ran out of air, her eyes closed and relaxed. Li Yinlui watched her do this and finally dropped her on the ground.
‘Get in here, you two have another body you need to pack.’
Then, Li Yinlui examined her body. It didn’t take long for him to find the vampire hunter’s crest on her body. It looks like in their desperation to fight back against the vampires, they were turning their own people into vampires and messing up big time. These fake vampires were extremely weak and simply an insult to the vampires.
‘Your Majesty, I’ve found out what the vampire hunters are trying to do. Once you come, I should have everything already prepared. The humans have begun turning their hunters into copies of vampires.’

I meant “Dumb”. My fat thumb…
