Chapter 111: The Survivor of Hahn, Nighttime Howls

Lestat noticed the unusual tension in his brother Richard's demeanor. He knew Richard had discovered something significant, but before he could inquire, Richard bolted out of the basement like a gust of wind. 

What was going on? Everyone present was baffled by Richard's abrupt departure. 

Curious, Lestat approached the wall Richard had been examining. He studied it intently, his brow furrowing. Suddenly, a realization dawned on him, and his expression shifted to one of alarm. 

"Master, what did you find?" Sheffield asked. 

In a voice colder than usual, Lestat uttered a single name. 

"Hahn." 

Upon hearing the forbidden name, Sheffield was momentarily stunned. Knowing the history behind it, he understood his master's implication. 

There was nothing visible on the wall itself. Richard and Lestat had deduced the connection to the Hahn family by analyzing the age of the basement. 

The passage of time left unmistakable marks. This basement wasn't a recent addition—it had been excavated during the construction of the old dormitory itself! 

Perhaps at the time, it had been used for food storage. The exact purpose was lost to history, but now, over sixty years later, even the Morris brothers and their steward were unaware of its existence. So, who else would know? 

Unless it was someone who had been involved in digging it. 

Sixty years ago, among those involved in constructing the old dormitory, who harbored a deep-seated grudge against the Morris family? Only the Hahn family—a low-ranking vampire household under their jurisdiction. It was a young member of this family who had instigated the infamous dormitory massacre, bringing ruin upon his own kin and prompting Jonathan Morris to exile the entire family from Rosewood Town. 

"There's no doubt a survivor of the Hahn family is involved in this," Lestat said coldly. 

As for why Richard had reacted so fearfully, Lestat soon realized the reason, and his expression turned grim. 

Earlier that day, Richard had publicly announced his relationship with An Ran in the academy's broadcast room. If the mastermind behind all this was indeed a Hahn survivor, then the human girl's safety was in grave danger… 

A chilling aura erupted from Lestat, rapidly spreading across the basement. The floor and walls frosted over as thin layers of ice formed. This was Lestat's second ability—ice manipulation. He intended to destroy this basement. 

Meanwhile, at the edge of a residential street in the town. 

After seeing Murong Mingyue off and tidying up the house, it was already past eight in the evening. An Ran's grandfather, who preferred early nights, decided to take a hot bath before settling into bed. Bored and restless, An Ran sat in front of the television, which picked up only a few channels, lost in her thoughts… 

Suddenly, a series of aggressive dog barks echoed from outside. The incessant noise grated on her nerves. 

The barking continued for several minutes, showing no signs of stopping. Knowing her grandfather would want to rest soon after his bath, An Ran decided to chase away the stray dog causing the disturbance. 

Grabbing a broom from the house, she stepped into the courtyard…
