Chapter 244

The vampire punched the glass casing, sending a sharp crack through the air like a tree splitting in a thunderstorm. A web of fractures spread outward from its fist and the reinforced glass struggled but lost the fight. The second punch didn't just crack it—it sent shards flying in every direction.

The sound turned heads, making everyone in the room decide this situation was well above their pay grade.

The guards didn't hesitate.

Guns snapped up, pointed at the creature as if bullets were going to do anything more than piss it off. They opened fire, but the vampire barreled forward with zero interest in being civilized.

One guard screamed before dropping his weapon and bolted for the exit. The rest followed like dominoes, leaving their fallen comrades behind without so much as a second glance.
