Unwelcomed guest

"Fight me!" The tall broad man with blond hair and blond beard demanded with a confident smirk.

Oh, great...iv'e noticed that basically everyone in this age wants to fight the moment they see you! What happened to talking like civilised people? I have barely taken in my situation in this child's house and am already being challenged!

Only a few minutes ago, I even laid eyes to their nice mansion with flowers around the entrance. I would have been mesmerised if it was before the tragedy but now it's meaningless to me. When his mansion was in view, the child grabbed my hand again and proceeded to drag me inside.

Inside, there where a bunch of maids but also some vampires either drinking, relaxing or pacing about but when We entered, they all stared at us and some rushed forward.

"Young master where were you? You're meant to be back an hour ago! Are you ok? You should have taken one of us at least if you were going to be gone for this long!"

I'm guessing they are his bodyguards. While they were bombarding there "young master" with questions, I could feel intense gazes on me from them and the rest of the vampires that saw me. Guess I'm not really welcomed am I?

"Enough! I would like to see my father!" The boy said while grabbing my wrist and dragging me to the top floor. He is quite forceful, isn't he? I'll tolerate it for the time being as long as this whole thing will lead me somewhere.

You know for the whole of this, the boy hasn't taken off his hood once! Not even in the comfort of his house that he takes it off...

Whoever is in charge must be very strict to force such a rule.

The boy leads me to a set of double doors and opens them excitedly.

"Father! I'm back! I brought a new friend!" The boy said with joy.

The boy was talking to a fair build man with a stern face, looking to be around his 40's. The man had blond hair and a beard that covered the lower half of his face and he has light red eyes. The presence he gives is quite dominating, as seen when the others around him are quite tense, clutching their hands.

However, when the boy came in and called his father, the tense atmosphere vanished when the father smile at the sight of his son. The four people around the father seemed to have lightened up and felt relieved when they saw the son but an instant later they felt tense again once they noticed my presence. Do I smell or something?

The father left his desk and ran to give the son a hug as if they reunited after years of separation but like the others, the father sight changed from his son to me.

"Who are you?" He asked with a deep voice.

"Someone that was hired by your son to protect him," I answered lightly.

Even if it is a fake name, why should I tell them it when I don't even know there's!

He stares at me for a few moments then says "Thank you for protecting my troublesome son."

Did he....just thank me?

I mean I know it's normal to thank people but for the entire time I was here, they made me feel very unwelcome. I was beginning to think they would just kill me which would be not pleasant.

In fact, it seems I am not the only one surprised as the other four people in the room, not including the father or son, seemed to be shocked as well.

"Dad he is really cool and strong! He can mix his aura with that of a human! I think his presence is causing high-level beasts to roam this end of the forest!"

The boy kept going on and on about how "great" I am which of course I AM great but a lot of what he says is his own interpretations. However, he just told them about the whole mixing aura's...

I can only hope that the others didn't notice but my luck seems to be shit lately and their confused expressions are telling me they noticed the boys words.

The father looked at me after telling his son to be quiet.

"Fight me! I want to see just how powerful you are!" He shouted which can be heard across the room and outside of it.

So now we are caught up with my short time here and now he wants to fight. Since he is a vampire, I know currently I stand no chance since they are above level 70.

"No thank you, I just came to drop him off and get the reward I was promised." I calmly explained with a straight face.

"Sir, he could be a spy for the blood vampires! We should just kill him. He has the scent of one!" One of the four people said.

"Just try to kill me and see what happens," I told them, giving them a cold look.

They were about to say something when the father put his hand up to tell them to be quiet.

"If he was a blood vampire then he would know my son and instead of spying, it would have been better to hold my son hostage!" The father explained.

"What is a blood vampire?" I ask finally.

One of the people scoffs" Now trying to act dumb! You blood-sucking vampires are so old with your tricks!"

I guess blood vampires are vampires that still feed on human blood. Guess that's how they differentiate between blood-sucking vampires and vampires that absorb essence to get stronger. Eh, it makes sense to call them blood vampires.

Hmm....wait a second. If they dislike blood vampires then they would hate that cult I visited yesterday! If I could use them as the distraction to get the blood rose!

"If you hate blood vampires, I know that there is a cult of them near Tatis."

"Psh, do you think we are idiots? Of course, we know about that cult!"

God these 4 assholes are pissing me off. If it wasn't for the overwhelming power advantage they have I would have killed them already!

"Then why haven't you taken care of them?"

" We are trying to strike when most of the members gather but it's difficult to know when that is." The father finally spoke and kindly answered me.

The 4 idiots seemed to want to say something but couldn't since their "master" spoke.

"Oh? I know when they will all gather" I said to the father.

The father's eyes widened "You do! When?"

"You haven't even rewarded me, why would I tell you?"

"HOW DARE YOU TALK TO SIR LIKE THAT" one of the 4 idiots lost control and shouted!

"Stop being rude to my friend!" The boy shouted at the 4 idiots.

"All you have done is be rude to him!" The boy continued.

" You're making him think we are awful people who take help for granted!!!" The kid started to lose it.

The four idiots we're at a lost for words from the child's outrage.

"Enough! All you of leave! The guest and I will have a chat!" Finally, the father interrupted and kicked the four idiots and his son.

After they left, the father sat down on his desk and asked me to sit on the chair opposite his.

"Sorry about them, they are just agitated due to our rivalry with the blood vampire near Tatis. We have lost a lot of our comrades due to them. Since we are in the same territory and our hatred of each other ways of getting stronger clashes thus we fight." The father explained to me about his group and the cult vampires.

He continued "Since you are aware of them then you know only vampires are able to see their magic circle that hides them but it's also a barrier, so only members are able to enter. However if your a noble or above vampire you can just enter the barrier."

Yea I knew that but didn't know that nobles and above can enter with ease. Well, I just relied on the bracelet to get me in, so that restriction is pointless to me but I guess it's a problem for them.

I smirk "How about we make a deal? Let's cooperate, I help you to be able to beat them and you increase my reward"

"You are able to help us? How?" He asks with widened eyes.

"If I can get rid of that barrier then you can attack right?"

"Not to be rude but are you even up to such a task that even we couldn't handle?"

"Your choice to believe me or not"

"You seem to have a lot of confidence in your eyes....alright let's test you! I will attack you 6 times with my initial attack being as powerful as level 10 and the rest will increase by 10!"

Oh...crap. I don't even know how strong a level 60 attack will feel like! However, I need to get that Rose and if I have to do this to get it then fine!

"Alright let's do it!"

"Perfect! Meet me at our garden once you change, we don't want your personal clothes to be shredded now do we?"

Once he said that he stood up and left his room and then a few maids came in with some clothes and holding them out.

I tell them to leave the clothes and proceeded to change; storing my black robes in the ring. All he gave me are brown trousers and a white shirt, though they feel quite comfortable.

I walk out and the maids directed me to the garden and when I get their I see the boy, the four idiots and a few others while the father is further ahead.

There garden is huge! Near the house are flowers but further away it's just a plain field of grass.

I walk near him and face him.

"Are you ready! You can back out now if you'd like?" He asks me with a confident grin

"Please, if I can't even survive this then how could I live long?" I answer him.

I just have to survive 6 attacks! Each stronger then the last! Can I do it? How will I survive I wonder!

Let's do this!
