Vampire's Slice Of Life

SKCT, Redstone City.

Inside a small pavilion, four people were sitting around a table and discussing things. There was one more person present and he was sitting on the railing present around the pavilion and humming a song without bothering with the people on the table.

"Did you pay the witch?" Kenzal, one of the four people sitting around the table, asked.

"Obviously. Did I have a choice?" Senzal knitted his brows and said.

"Good. So how how many people do we have?"

"Three hundred from the army I got from the witches. There are ten Rank 9s, forty Rank 8s, and the rest are all from Rank 5 to 7." Senzal shared the numbers.

"Clan head, that is certainly a good size. We didn't end up paying too much, right?" A man with a scar on his face, sitting beside Senzal in red robes asked.

Senzal looked at him and sighed. "We had to pay ten low grade magic stones. It wasn't a small sum." 

"What!?" The person said in fright as he stood up from his chair.

"I told you, didn't I? We are going all out now." Senzal explained.

"But clan head, that's–" 

" I know, Peter, I know. That's certainly going to affect us financially, but just know that we lack people and this war is really important to us." Senzal didn't hide information from Peter and said it.

Peter was the general handling the affairs of his army and he was a really trustworthy person. He hailed from a branch family of the Senzal Clan but it didn't matter to the clan head and always placed great importance on him.

"It's good that you're suffering, bastard." Kenzal couldn't help but curse with a smile.

"Clan head, you shouldn't be saying that. We are in the same shoes and have spent around eight low grade magic stones as well." A man that appeared to be in his early 30s and wearing blue robes, said to Kenzal.

"What? How the fuck did we even manage to spend that much, Ethan!?" This time it was Kenzal who jumped in fright out of his chair as he heard the sum.

"Bringing the demon army and managing them, as well as paying the Mayor, it was a lot of money. I am sorry, clan head, but that was a necessary sum." Ethan couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

"Ugh." Kenzal almost vomitted blood as he heard the sum.

His head was hurting just knowing how much they spent on this and he couldn't help but curse Senzal again for scamming him into going to war with the sect.

Senzal smiled from the side as he noticed the state Kenzal was in. It was good that he was suffering just as much as him.

Ten low grade magic stones, if given to a mortal with Rank 2 or less was enough money for him to spend his whole life time without having to worry about earning and feeding himself or his family food or other things.

If the amount were to be translated into the terms of Earth, Lith's previous world, it would be a billion dollars from there. 

A mortal had a limited lifespan and needed food and water to survive along with shelter in a safe place. This amount was enough for him to spend his entire limited life hassle free.

"The demon army is here?" Peter who was listening to the conversation carefully, asked.

"Yes. The high demon family of the Sin of Sloth ended up helping us by sending fifty Rank 9s and hundred Rank 8s." Ethan said with a proud expression.

"Wow." Peter was amazed. He knew Ethan was trying to show off, but if he were in his shoes, he would do the same as well.

Senzal was amazed as well, but he wasn't jealous of Kenzal even in the slightest. He knew Kenzal would need to pay a hefty sum later to the demons as nothing in the world was for free.

Kenzal, who was in a bad mood, was slightly happy when he saw Peter's expression but his mood turned for the worse when he saw the calm look on Senzal's face.

"So, demon army and army from the witch, eh? Good job you two. But don't become so broke that my payment remains pending." The man on the railing said in a playful tone and continued to hum a song.

Senzal and Kenzal both looked at him and clicked their tongues in annoyance. This was probably the greediest man they've come across. He not only demanded 75% payment in advance, he also had a condition that if he was in grave danger, he would always back out and not take the remaining 25%.

This was basically them getting scammed big time, but there was nothing they could do to solve this problem. The only saving grace the two had was that they had made the guy sign a contract that stated he would do his best to help the two clans win the war and not back away unless in grave danger.

But of course, despite the contract being like that, there were bound to be holes in it and this guy, he was a King Rank and not someone stupid. This made the two people worried, but they couldn't do anything about it and just got back to discussing things again after ignoring the man.

"Clan head, we have used almost all our connections and there's no further external help that we may get. We have to win this war by any means." Ethan said to Kenzal.

"I know. Senzal, are the elves here?" Kenzal asked in a neutral tone without trying to curse Senzal for the nth time.

"Not yet. The last time I heard from them, they were still trying to finish up with the paper work in the Elven Continent to leave and enter the Neutral Continent."

"Damn, this paperwork!" Kenzal cursed again.

To ensure the peace and stability of the Neutral Continent, all the other continents made sure that all people who are entering and leaving the Neutral Continent are in their records and this would help track them in future if some mishap occurs.

It was strict, but not anything that would restrict the movements of the people. Of course, everything would be cut short if one used the services of the witches.

"Clan head, are you sure that the elves would come?" Peter asked.

"Yes. That guy likes Duram Tea a lot, he'll send them." Senzal said, and as soon as he finished saying that, a melancholic expression was on his face.

It was at the place that his wife, son, and nephew died and he didn't want to remember the things again.

"If you say so." Peter didn't question Senzal further as he could read the atmosphere.

"Alright Ethan, here's what you guys should do. This is the plan. Once the elven army arrived we'll…" Peter changed the topic and started talking to Ethan about it.

They both were generals of their respective clans and could easily communicate together. Senzal and Kenzal paid attention to what they were talking about and as for the King Rank guy, he couldn't care less about what they were discussing. He was simply there so that Senzal and Kenzal don't end up accidentally killing each other.

…..

Shadow River Sect.

Inside the administration building.

"So, you're saying that we let these two take charge of things?" Wan couldn't help but ask.

Lith nodded. "Yes." 

Wan and Ling looked at each other and were clearly dumbfounded about things.

They both once again shifted their gaze to Ralph and Dennis and tried to have a better look of them. 

One appeared extremely charismatic and handsome and the other appeared a bit average in looks in comparison. But there was something about the pink-haired and the black-haired guys that Wan and Ling weren't clearly able to point out.

Ralph and Dennis both let out powerful auras around them and although it wasn't something that harmed or bothered Wan or Ling, it made the two re-think about these two.

To the two, it felt as if Ralph and Dennis were some superior beings and not someone normal. They had no idea why they were thinking like this but that was just what went on their heads.

The academy never revealed the faces of their kids and only revealed very little information to the public. For example, there was an information that stated about the heirs of Emperor Rank cllans and families were there, but who it was, it was never revealed.

There was also the information revealed that the Vampire Prince would be joining the academy, but nobody knew the name of the prince or his face.

Thus, although the heir of the Lust Family of the demons was here along with the heir of a Duke Clan of the vampires, Wan and Ling weren't able to point it out as they had no information about it and could just curiously and randomly make a guess.

Wan looked at Lith again and said, "We need time to think about it. Please excuse us for a moment."

Wan and Ling left the room and Lith was now alone with Ralph and Dennis.

The three people talked for a while and waited for the two Sect Masters to arrive again.
