Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!-Chapter 124: The King is most pleased
The King was surprised once again but smiled even more.
This was a much better attitude than he had expected. It was an attitude that was not blinded by the riches and status they might bestow upon him.
'He is clear about his goals and knows that if he continues as he is going, he will accomplish them. He doesn't need to rush, but he knows that rejecting that status would be stupid. Still, he didn't let himself be blinded and was rational, knowing that the City of Clans was dangerous.
Tsk, he's too good a young man, in personality I feel he already kicked all the Vampire Generals three times, hahaha.' Thought the King, almost unable to hide the smile on his face.
Indeed, he had found a diamond in the rough.
And he needed to polish it.
So, he nodded to him.
"All of you, leave the room. Reagan, brother, and the two Misses can stay." Said the King and looked at his daughter.
"Do you want to stay?" he asked, and she let out an angry-mouthed snort and walked straight out the door.
The King sighed as he shook his head.
'Someday she'll understand me.' He thought.
At the same time, everyone who was not qualified to know about this mission walked out.
During this time, Isla was so nervous and scared that she kept her aura as hidden as possible, hoping they would forget about her. But suddenly, she was named, and she sighed.
Though she looked at Matt, very surprised.
'I knew it; he would accomplish great things.' She thought, smiling proudly.
She approached Matt back then because she wanted a friend in the classroom. Because Matt didn't have any friends and neither did she, she thought they could overlap and didn't care if he was weaker.
She just wanted a friend there.
She didn't expect that the same boy she approached a few months ago, who was barely a student trying to pass Reagan Cooper's first test, would today become one of the most feared existences of the younger generation.
A Bloody Vampire General.
Who wouldn't dream of such status? Although they are not often named, as the Heirs tend to get all the fame, the truth is that any young person would want to be a Bloody Vampire General.
They are the only group, behind the Heirs, who have tremendous power in the Five Kingdoms.
This is not a status for just anyone and usually requires hard training to form the character of the person it is meant to bestow. Still, today, it was being delivered on the first time the King had seen Matt, which showed that he was more capable than Isla had imagined.
For that, she was proud.
Not only her, but Alice was bursting with pride, and the smile on her face could not be hidden despite her being immensely surprised at the King's decision.
Still, she couldn't hide her smile; she was too happy!
She had never imagined that Matt, her subordinate, would reach such an important status in such a short time!
'God, he's really worthy of all that, but I still find it amazing. If I could grant him my heir token, I'd really give it to him. I think he's more worthy than I am.' She thought happily.
Soon, several people left the room in tremendous shock.
They were shocked not only by the King's decision, which was shocking enough to leave them stunned for several hours but also by Matt's decision to almost reject such a meaningful status.
Who was so stupid? If he questioned the King and the King decided not to give him the rank, wouldn't he lose a lot?
That's a Bloody Vampire General!
It is a status that only the King of each Kingdom can grant, but they cannot grant it freely. Each kingdom only has 2 Bloody Vampire General Tokens to grant freely; the other Tokens are in the hands of the Vampire Clans, and they will decide if the one chosen by the King is correct or not.
Right now, the token that the Dark King was handing out was the last one in his hand.
Therefore, it was an important token for the Kingdom.
But it was being awarded to a small young man, who refused it!
'Shit, this kid, I don't think he knows where he stands.' Several of them thought and began to question the King's decision.
Still, they all obediently left and the room was left somewhat lonely.
Dawid Lewis, Reagan Cooper, Ericson Lewis, Alice Allen, Isla Moore, and Matthew Dietrich were the only ones who remained in this vast room.
Isla felt totally out of place in front of so many personalities, but when she held Matt's sleeve, she felt that someone was supporting her, so she relaxed a little.
Then the King nodded to Reagan Cooper, and Reagan Cooper pulled out a scroll, which the King grabbed.
"Matthew, the mission is simple, though it is a bit dangerous. But don't worry. It's not a mission you're going to do on your own; you'll get help from powerful people." The king said this and walked over to where Matt was standing.
"As you know, the City of Clans is too powerful a City that is totally out of my control. But you may not understand why that is so; I will tell you about it later. For now, you need to know that there are at least two people there, as powerful as me, who watch over the City day and night."
"Even so, they care about nothing but the city, for to them, this city is the greatest treasure that exists in the world. That is why, although the City of Clans is one of the safest cities in the world for us, it is also safe for traitors."
As soon as the King arrived before Matt, he passed him the scroll.
"Matthew, your mission there is only to find the identity of the traitor; since he has a very different way of acting, we cannot trace him even though we know he is there, and it is possible that he is not one but several. In that parchment are the identities that you are going to investigate, along with their respective forces. Even so, do not worry; you will not go alone.
Reagan Cooper will support you from the inside along with two Army Generals, and you will go as a distant relative of Ericson Lewis, my brother."
"Inside the city, we have enough forces to protect you in case something goes wrong, so I won't send you to your death. I just want you to follow the tracks and lead us to discover them. These are all the clues we have so far." Said the King, passing him another scroll.
