Destiny [YiZhan FF]

Chapter 38 - Retrospect and future

EGO POV Yibo

It's been almost three years now since I was hired by Sigma back in the day to join a search party that was supposedly looking for missing persons in a previously unknown tunnel. Sigma, however, was not interested in the missing persons, but in what he hoped to find, artifacts and relics.

However, it quickly turned out that the tunnel was not a tunnel and I ended up in a cave labyrinth, together with 29 other men. Divided into small groups, I had to rethink my plan and figure out how to proceed first. In addition, I was also tired as hell, which made it a little more difficult for me to think.

After a long cave passage, another cave followed, another cave passage and finally I killed the first two men there according to my order. After all, Sigma told me to do it, no survivors! And I complied with his instruction. But right after I killed the first two men, I sensed a danger that was scary even to me, so I decided to go back through the cave passage and found several dead bodies.

Realizing that I was dealing with a danger that could not be evaluated, I teamed up with someone and we tried again along the path I had previously avoided. Only to end up in a tiny cave that you could only get through if you crawled through a narrow hole.

We were trapped inside, because all around us were creatures we neither knew nor could assess. And then out of nowhere, I heard a voice offering to help me. How could I have said no in my situation?

A little later, I found out that this voice belonged to the really sweet, naughty but also dear Xiao Zhan, a vampire! For the very first time ever, I had to deal with a vampire I was absolutely not afraid of. Instead, I even wanted to befriend him and decided to trust him.

After only a very short time, I realized that I had developed feelings for the vampire that I had also never had before in my life. For a vampire whose foster father was, of all people, the one who pronounced a curse on my ancestor Flora Wang after she had lied to him, betrayed him and hurt him. A curse that affected Flora Wang and all her descendants.

Well, what can I say? After some back and forth, Zhan and I managed to break the curse. And when that happened, I finally felt free of a burden and loved Zhan even more than before. We officially got mated by the council shortly after. A very sacred, intimate ceremony where only the council members themselves are allowed to be present. I became a vampire! But not just any vampire, I became a vampire assassin.

A few weeks and many hours of training later, we received our first mission from the council, to find and kill Meng Yao and Su She. We did it and were able to complete our mission. After that, we killed Jang Jan, the former director of the Vampire Academy. And after that, Zhan and I wanted to travel first.

But then I remembered that there was still the Yang who had betrayed me to the commander back then. Since I was no longer working for the Assassin Council, I couldn't ask them if they had taken care of him. And because Yang was human, I couldn't just kill him myself. Not without a permit from the Council of Vampires.

So Zhan and I made our way to our council and made my request to be allowed to kill Yang ourselves, if it hadn't already been done. Since it was about a human, it was discussed quite hard in the council. But no agreement could be reached. So Zhan and I were sent to the highest authorities. Which was also the first time for Zhan.

We flew by plane to Romania, traveled for two days in a special bus that the council organized for us, and finally arrived at an ancient castle. The castle where the three oldest vampires, the highest rulers, live.

For two days the heads made us wait in a room for a decision whether they are willing to listen to us at all. We were not allowed to leave the small dark room and waited anxiously for the decision.
