The Girl Who Reincarnated as a Vampire Heiress - C.304: Accident 02

No need to walk, you can be a lazy bum directly in the carriage.

How could Chloe possibly pass up such a wonderful opportunity?

So, not only did she stay in the carriage alone, eating and drinking to her heart's content, but after half an hour, she even lifted the carriage curtain and invited her buddies to join her in being lazy bums.

This carriage was originally prepared for Xavier, and because of that, both its size and interior decor perfectly matched Xavier's aesthetic.

In short, it was high-end, classy, and top-notch.

When Daniel and the others secretly climbed in through the carriage windows one by one, they all widened their eyes in awe, marveling at the magnificent wealth of the Vampires.

The Vampire soldiers outside clearly saw their little maneuvers but, after much restraint, ultimately chose to ignore it.

Never mind, after all, it was the young miss who invited them, and even the Ancestor probably couldn't change the young miss's mind at this point, so they didn't need to meddle.

As long as the young miss was happy, that was enough.

Chloe pulled out a homemade deck of cards from her pocket:

"Come on, let's play High-Low."

They played the simplest version of the game. After dealing out the cards, face down, they would send out one card at a time in order.

Higher cards beat lower cards, and whoever ran out of cards first would be the first to be eliminated.

It was a simple little game, not even as fun as the various online games in their terminals.

But they still played with great enthusiasm, munching on sunflower seeds while playing cards.

Anderson also cooperated with their game, sitting next to Chloe, drawing and playing a card when it was his turn.

But obviously, his attention was not on the card game.

Anderson would occasionally look out the window, his gaze falling on the distinctive signposts and buildings along the road, his brows slightly furrowed, seeming somewhat agitated.

Chloe noticed his condition and, after thinking for a moment, gloriously lost the game by playing all the cards in her hand. She then placed a handful of split sunflower seeds in Anderson's palm and leaned in with a smile to ask:

"What's the matter? You're frowning like someone owes you money."

"Here, have some seeds and drink some water, cool down."

Anderson was caught off guard and suddenly had his mouth stuffed full of sunflower seeds. He leaned back a bit, looking somewhat uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Chloe's feeding was within normal limits, and Anderson eventually managed to swallow that handful of seeds. He looked at her with a slight hint of helplessness:

"Young miss..."

Chloe raised an eyebrow: "Cheer up, once we reach the Werewolf Race, who knows how many things there will be to worry about."

"You know what a bunch of arrogant and conceited fellows the Werewolf Race are."

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a burning gaze from behind.

Chloe immediately added smoothly:

"Except for Daniel."

Only then did Daniel withdraw his gaze, satisfied.

Chloe made a couple more sarcastic remarks before continuing to joke around with Anderson.

The journey was very peaceful, with no major incidents occurring.

Only Anderson would frequently get off the carriage for a while.

Chloe didn't know what he was doing when he got off, and when she asked him, Anderson was reluctant to say.

Chloe didn't like forcing people, so in the end, she didn't insist on him telling her.

This continued until the entire caravan suddenly came to a stop.

All the Vampire soldiers received orders to stand still, not moving an inch.

Noticing that the carriage had stopped moving, Chloe lifted the curtain to look ahead.

She found that they were now on a cement road.

The road was very wide, almost able to accommodate all the Vampire soldiers present and the guards who had come as reinforcements from The No.1 Military Academy.

But the carriage had still stopped.

The reason was that right in front of them stood a stone monument and a building similar to a sentry box.

Xavier seemed to be negotiating with someone in the sentry box, but the communication didn't appear to be going very smoothly.

Chloe secretly glanced at the person opposite Xavier and saw that it was a very thin, small person who looked quite shrewd.

Wearing round-framed glasses, he looked like a calculating businessman.

Their conversation seemed to have hit a snag, and a few Vampire soldiers nearby even lost their patience and raised their weapons.

However, before they could act, Xavier suppressed them with a simple gesture.

How strange, could there actually be someone in this world that Xavier was wary of?

Yes, wary.

After all, based on Chloe's understanding of Xavier, if someone were to block his path like this, Xavier not immediately reducing them to ashes would already be considered an act of great mercy on his part.

How could it be that now he was carefully negotiating?

The more she thought about it, the more interested Chloe became.

Who exactly was this person in the sentry box?

So, she put down her cards on the table and, under the shocked and confused gazes of everyone, quickly rushed out.

Chloe ran to Xavier's side.

She was tall, even half a head taller than the thin, shrewd man opposite, but the man clearly wasn't intimidated by this height-induced aura.

The man smiled like a cunning old fox, his gaze slowly falling on Chloe, eyebrows raised:

"Oh, is this your little princess? She's quite a beauty."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xavier's eyebrows furrowed slightly, his gaze cold as he looked at the thin man.

Upon meeting Xavier's gaze, the man vaguely understood that this joke couldn't be made, and he muttered "so touchy" before changing the subject:

"It's really not that I won't let you pass, it's just that we can't make room."

"If it were any other time, it would be fine, but recently the boss of the merchant guild has been strict, saying no one can use this road no matter what, saying there would be problems..."

The man rambled on: "I don't even know what kind of problems, but I'm just a small-time worker under the boss, please don't make things difficult for me."

Xavier asked in return: "No one can pass, no matter who they are?"

The man: "Really, no one can!"

Xavier looked at him silently for half a second, saying nothing. freeweɓnovel.cøm

Chloe, who had been observing from the side for a long time, felt that she needed to be the little firecracker who would declare her boss's identity and then surprisingly fizzle out.

She immediately said haughtily:

"Do you know who my father is? See those soldiers behind? Let me tell you, my father is the king of all Vampires. Even your so-called merchant guild would have to kneel and kowtow to him if they met my father."

Xavier: "..."

He pinched the bridge of his nose, looking helplessly at Chloe, who for some unknown reason had gotten into character and was strutting around proudly like a little rooster, but in the end, he didn't say anything.

Unexpectedly, even after learning Xavier's identity, the thin man still seemed to have no fear. His attitude was very humble, but there was not a hint of respect in his tone:

"It's really not that I'm unwilling, it's just that the orders from above are too strict, I..."

Just as Chloe was about to impatiently interrupt him, Anderson's gentle voice came from behind:

"Young miss, is there something wrong? Why haven't you come back yet?"

The next moment, Chloe watched as the thin man, who had been arrogant and domineering just moments ago, looked straight past her to her back, his mouth stuttering for a long time before finally blurting out:

"...Actually, the orders from above aren't that strict. If you want to use this road, of course, there's no problem."
