Otaku Witch-Chapter 1530 - 823: Business (2)

It turns out that not only is she rising quickly within the Judgment Court, but even her personal forces are developing quite impressively.

The Moon Rabbit Clan, a top-tier servant army that even the Thirteen Vampire Clan Families couldn’t recruit at their peak. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

But besides the Moon Rabbits, what are these Yin Yang Witches of Hyakki?

Stepmother was somewhat puzzled.

"Oh, oh, these are specialties of Japan, and they’re all quite capable. Annie, rest assured, I guarantee you the top-level configuration of our guild, with a minimum of a Senior Great Witch..."

Dorothy began promoting and introducing the services of her guild to Annie.

Stepmother could only listen with growing questions in her mind.

"Wait, weren’t you just going to Japan for a study tour? How many people did you recruit?"

Annie couldn’t resist her curiosity and asked.

Earlier, both she and Adam knew about Dorothy following her Spider Teacher to Japan, especially since the kid brought back quite a few souvenir gifts for the two of them. But now, listening to the child’s introduction, Stepmother realized that the child seemed to have brought back more than just those souvenirs.

"Ahem... well, actually not too many, just about moved the entire island back. Now I can barely consider myself the Lord of Japan."

Dorothy scratched her head shyly and said awkwardly.

Annie: "....."

Stepmother fell into silence.

Well, look at you with your newly grown wings, what amazing capabilities! If you’re so great, why don’t you go soar to the heavens and stand shoulder to shoulder with the Sun?

However, while outwardly calm, inside, Annie was really shocked.

She had heard of the legends of Japan, but even she had never had the opportunity to set foot in that secluded land of Immortals. Yet, her stepdaughter had just turned a trip into instantly becoming the Island Master. How on earth did she manage that?

Stepmother was filled with questions.

But aside from amazement, she couldn’t help but re-evaluate Dorothy’s previous cooperation offer.

If this child isn’t exaggerating, then this is indeed a good way to solve the current power vacuum in the Dracula Family, maybe even making them stronger than at their peak if coordinated well.

"Hmm, wait a moment, I’ll contact Mother Superior. I can’t make such a big decision on my own, but I’ll help convince her."

Annie thought it over carefully, growing more convinced of the idea. She lifted her hand, and a drop of blood trickled from her fingertip, transforming into a foolishly cute red bat that flew away.

A few minutes later, the Vampire Grand Duke, who had the same physique as Annie, returned with two daughters in tow.

"Annie, why did you call us back so urgently? You should know tonight’s event is important."

Dracula still looked somewhat weak at this moment, clearly not fully recovered.

Duchess Loli was actually a bit worried about it, as tonight’s banquet was initially intended to announce Lilith’s return to the family, showing that the Dracula Family had successors.

Sigh, well, it’s just a way to put up a facade and intimidate those increasingly restless other Clans.

She, as Mistress, was even planning to personally attend the banquet to hold the fort, which shows how bad the current situation of the Dracula Family is.

Well, because back then, to nurture Lilith, she poured almost half of the Blood of Ascension from the clan into it.

Normally, the Draculas were supposed to have one Duke, three Marquises, nine Earls, twenty-seven Viscounts, eighty-one Baronesses, Blood Citizens, and Blood Slaves.

But now, although the Duke remained, Camilla and Elizabeth were still there as Marquises, other ranks were...

Well, three Earls were left, nine Viscounts, and only about ten Baronesses...

All the Blood of Ascension reserved for the other vacant seats had been drawn out to serve as nourishment for nurturing Lilith, the True Ancestor’s Container. Even this wasn’t enough; back then, she shamelessly asked other Clans for some Blood of Ascension, but of course, the bulk had to come from the Dracula Family.

Only such sacrifices brought forth Lilith, this precious daughter. She had indeed embraced the resolve not to succeed but to become a martyr.

Of course, as long as she, the Duke, was around, life in the Dracula Family would be tough, although not to the point of being easily oppressed. But just recently, due to her curiosity, she was backlashed by the terrifying curse on Dorothy, and now she entered a period of weakness, needing years of recovery.

This was really misfortune upon misfortune. The days ahead for the Dracula Family would be rough.

Therefore, she paid extra attention to tonight’s event, which must be managed well; if anyone detected their decline, they’d be in trouble.

But right at this critical moment, daughter Lilith called her back again. Although Duchess Loli adored this dear daughter quite a bit, she couldn’t help but feel a bit impatient at this moment.

"Mother Superior, here’s the situation...."

Annie looked at her Mother’s expression, knowing well the pressure she was under, feeling even more guilty. However, recalling Dorothy’s words, she also felt a tinge of pride.
