Chapter 551: Linear Plot

The fact that Chen Zhao hated Carlo did not prevent him from admiring the beauty before him.

She looked particularly charming in her tight clothes.

“I’m not sent by that old asshole Carlo,” the black-haired beauty said. “I’m Murphy’s mom.”

Spit—

Chen Zhao almost vomited blood. The lady who looked as old as him was Murphy’s mother?

“Stop lying.”

“I’m serious. I’m already fifty-six this year.”

Chen Zhao did not believe it. He couldn’t.

There was no way this twenty-year-old lady could be Murphy’s mom.

“Were you five when you were pregnant with Murphy?”

“Have you forgotten my bloodline?”

“Vampire?”

“My name is Agnes Dracula. I don’t like people calling me a vampire.”

“Dracula? That Dracula?”

“Dracula is a common surname among the Kindred. I’m not sure if Count Dracula really exists,” Agnes said. “But it won’t make sense for him to exist. We live for at most 150 years, not 400.”

“Don’t the Kindred age?”

“Not if we drink enough human blood.”

“Fine. How much human blood have you drunk?”

“Are you going to help me save Murphy or not?” Agnes asked.

She was already impatient. Chen Zhao had kept changing the topic.

“Sorry, I’m busy.”

Chen Zhao had already advised Murphy not to go.

But he had to go and kill himself.

Why must Chen Zhao take the risk?

It was not like Murphy was his son.

“A million dollars,” Agnes said with a serious tone as she stared at Chen Zhao.

“Why are you asking me? I’m just a human.”

“But I know you’re strong.”

“But I’m scared of death.”

“Me too,” Agnes said. “Everyone is.”

“Thanks for your understanding. The door is there. Goodbye.”

“Do you know why Murphy’s father insisted that Murphy go there?”

“I’m not interested in any stories.” Chen Zhao covered his ears.

He was determined not to get himself involved.

Regardless of what Agnes was about to say, he would not go.

Not even with a million dollars.

That place was too dangerous.

It would not matter how much money he could receive if he died there.

“Severn and I met 22 years ago.”

As if she did not hear Chen Zhao’s words, Agnes continued talking.

“I’m not interested.”

“Wait for me to finish. That time, I was already pregnant with Murphy.”

“Which means Murphy isn’t your husband’s son?”

“But Severn still raised Murphy up like his own son.”

“And then?”

“But as he aged, I was still young. He began to try all he could to become a Kindred like me.”

“What a great ambition.”

Chen Zhao could not help but satirize.

Since Agnes really wanted to tell him the story, he would listen.

But even after that, he would not go to the place.

“Wait… Don’t tell me Murphy is Carlo’s son.”

Chen Zhao suddenly felt that it was very likely.

Agnes’ husband found a wife and got a son for free.

He appeared to be obedient and responsible, but he was actually distorted inside.

Then he deliberately sent Murphy to Carlo.

So that Carlo could kill Murphy.

This seemed to be the right plot.

Anyway, this was what would happen in films.

“Stop overthinking. Murphy is unrelated to Carlo. I’m unrelated to Carlo too.”

Agnes added, “I was only in Carlo’s team for a period of time in the past.”

“Unfortunate.”

“What?”

Chen Zhao found it unfortunate that the plot did not unfold according to his imagination.

There was no love and hatred.

The plot seemed too linear and uninteresting.

Any American series with such a plotline would surely be dead after three episodes.

“Anyway, it turns out that the ancient ruin Carlo’s about to explore is actually very much related to the Kindred.”

“Carlo said that the ruin contains the elixir of life… Don’t tell me it’s a potion that converts a person into a vampire.”

“Correct. Severn asked Murphy to go so that Murphy could bring him the potion.”

Chen Zhao yawned. What a boring story.

“And then?” Although the story was dull, Chen Zhao had already listened to half of it.

“In fact, it’s not a potion to convert into a Kindred. According to records in our family, it’s a potion to convert into a Crypt Demon.”

“Family records? Carlo said that it’s a ruin from the prehistoric era. You really have a long history.”

“The Kindred has existed for way longer than you think,” Agnes said lightly. “According to the records, the Kindred had a short civilization. Because we had longer lives than humans, and we never turned old, humans viewed us as gods and wanted to become one of us. Indeed, we also developed a potion that could turn normal humans into the Kindred. This continued for three hundred years, and then disaster struck. The potion was somehow replaced and the chosen humans didn’t become the Kindred, but instead Crypt Demons. The civilization and the empire collapsed.”

“So the Kindred had been developing the American continents before humans discovered them?”

“At least that’s what my family records say.”

“And then? I still can’t find a reason to go to the ruin. But if you tell me that the entire human race is in danger, I might actually consider it. After all, my ambition is to rescue all humans and become the savior.”

“If you help me rescue Murphy, I can help you to kill someone, anyone,” Agnes said.

“How about the person in the White House?”

“Then you can kill me instead,” Agnes said, rolling her eyes.

“Actually you’re quite powerful too, right? Why don’t you go by yourself?”

“Of course I’m going, but I’m not confident about going alone,” Agnes said.

“If it’s just one or two Crypt Demons, I can help, but you said yourself that there could be many of them in the ancient ruin. If we go, we’ll probably become their food.”

“I can provide you with weapons,” Agnes said.

“What weapons?”

“In the vehicle outside. Weapons that I’ve modified myself,” Agnes said.

Chen Zhao walked to Agnes’ car and opened the trunk. The arms inside were enough to start a war.

Chen Zhao still did not want to go. Why must he take the risk?

Just then, Agnes took down a pendant chain from her neck. A key was hanging on the chain. She gave the chain to Chen Zhao.

“If you help me, the Dracula family owes you a favor.”

Chen Zhao grabbed the key. Another key that looked the same?

Was it the same key as the one from the Grandfather?

After taking the key, Chen Zhao hesitated for a while. Did the keys have the same function?

Or did they represent something?
