Tampered With The Blood Elixir?

"Who the heck dared to drink my Blood Elixir?"

To this, Isabelle knew not how to answer. This was partly because she was unsure about the exact person, but at the same time, she was afraid of Luke's rage and anger.

She had seen such an expression just once and that too in her previous life where Luke had killed many vampires for her sake. Other than that time, she had never seen him show such a face.

That was why she was startled a bit. Despite that, she knew that she had to answer.

"Ancestor..."

"One of my ancestors probably drank this.", she said while gritting her teeth.

"Ha?", Luke was shocked after hearing this.

The Blood Elixir had immense power in it so just a single person couldn't drink half a bottle of the elixir! Even a single drop could impair him, so this didn't seem right.

"Wait a second Isabelle..."

"Before we proceed further, can I ask you a question?"

"Y-yes Luke.", she nodded her head.

"Can I trust what you are saying?", he asked.

"Eh?"

"Of course you can!"

"Why will I ever lie to you!?", she asked.

She had a stern expression so Luke decided to believe her. He then went through her previous answer and realized that she indeed was saying the truth, however that truth was limited to what she knew!

In reality, something else was going on in the background.

"The ancestor which you are speaking about, was he particularly related to you or some others too?", Luke asked.

"Uh..."

"I think that there are other descendants too which have been divided into different families so I believe he is related to others at the same time.", she replied calmly after thinking it through.

"I see..."

After this, Luke because quiet as if he was thinking something.

He was no fool and knew what was going on and after hearing just these things from Isabelle, he deducted the situation almost immediately.

'I think, there is still someone here who has the power of the blood...'

'Damn those thieves, how dare they steal my power?'

The origin of the blood elixir was known only to Luke and no one else. Isabelle had tried to ask about that in the previous life but Luke denied and prevented her from knowing it, probably for her safety.

'No wonder I felt a weird sensation since I arrived here...'

He was referring to the rise in heartbeat and blood pressure, only by a bit though. Yes, it was surely because of Isabelle's presence, but more than that, it was because of the person who had drunk a bit of the blood elixir!

"Listen, Isabelle, I need your help.", he asked.

"Surely Luke, I would be more than ready to help you!", she smiled.

"Good, so, I want you to give me the list of the family charts and the ancestor charts for the past ten thousand years."

"Do you think you can get that?", he asked.

"Hmm..."

Isabelle thought about it a bit. Her expression was getting dimmer when suddenly there was a glow probably because she realized something.

"Yes Luke!"

"I think I can get it, but it will take some time.", she said.

"Oh, how long?", he asked.

"I think, it will take around a month or so...", she nodded her head while saying that.

'A month, that's a bit too long...'

"Hmm, alright, get that within a month. Till then, I will finish my other works."

Isabelle knew that Luke would be busy, she never once thought that he was devoid of work so it was understandable that he would visit her only for work. She was a bit sad because of that, but then cheered up and left after bowing once.

"Please rest for a while Luke, I will ask the maids and my brother to let you tour outside.", she tried to neglect what he said and wanted him to stay a bit longer.

It was a reunion after ten thousand years after all. Luke wasn't opposed to the idea since he was about to go and search for the person who had drunk his blood elixir, not all, but a bit of it of course.

"Alright.", Luke got up from the dining hall and then walked as Isabelle led him towards a room.

He then entered the room only to find a lot of gold-plated things, pure gold probably.

"Hmm. Yes, it will be for the best if I rest for a while first."

He then sat on the bed and enjoyed its fluffiness and waited for someone to come and take him on a tour around the city.

'Well, I should drink this first.', he nodded his head and drank a drop of the Blood Elixir.

*drop*

Just a single drop from the elixir entered his mouth right after which, he started to experience pain.

'What the-'

His blood vessels started to expand all of a sudden and the pain started to increase. For some reason, he seemed quite surprised when he started to experience the pain and blood vessel expansion!

'What the heck is going on!?'

'Why is it so painful?'

Actually, the blood elixir should inflict no pain to him. Yes, it should go down easily and give him power without causing any trouble at all, but at the moment, the opposite was happening.

'Heck, it feels as if my vessels are going to burst!!'

He kept his voice to a minimum so that none would enter the room. Earlier, he had locked from inside as well so no one would come barging in.

Blood started to leak from his body - it started to flow out of his nails and eyes. It included the nose and the ears as well.

Yes, blood leaked from all the places which harbored thin-walled blood vessels. Coughing blood was nothing uncommon.

*cough*

Just one cough expelled a large amount of blood which probably leaked out due to the bursting of smaller blood vessels in the stomach.

'What the f*ck is going on?'

'This shouldn't be like this...'

'Wait, don't tell me, someone tampered with my Blood Elixir!?'
