Chapter 160 – Never alone

Night fell.

A black coffin was quietly parked on the autopsy table, and Miss Elisa lay inside with a dignified face, her hands folded on her stomach, with a delicate red jewelry box in the middle.

In the mourning hall, all the light bulbs had been changed to warm colors, and they were all lit up now, casting a soft light.

Limited by the venue, it couldn't be made very grand, but every detail reflected its delicacy.

Karun sat on a chair in the corner. Behind him were several rows of chairs prepared for the mourners who came. On the table in front, there were also drinks and some snacks, not expensive, but with a variety of choices.

The time had come.

Pick took a pen and walked outside, writing on the signpost: Miss Elisa's mourning hall.

Dinkum took a jar of clean water and began to sprinkle it on the path from outside to the autopsy table.

Alfred walked to the sound system, adjusted it twice, and a song named "My Count" began to play.

It was the theme song of a vampire movie that was released two years ago. The protagonist was a vampire count. The movie was not about his war experience, but about his love and hate.

It told the tragic story of him selling his soul to the devil for his beloved.

But Karun knew that in fact, the prototype of this character, or more precisely, the prototype of the type of people he represented, were all ordinary people, not bloodthirsty demons.

However, it didn't matter. Choosing this song was just to set the mood.

Karun turned slightly and looked outside. He was waiting for tonight's guests.

Captain Neo, would he come?

A blue sedan appeared and parked on the side of the road next to the funeral home. The man who had cried that night got out of the car. Today, he was wearing an evening dress and looked very tasteful.

After he walked in, he went straight to the autopsy table and stood beside the coffin, looking at the woman inside.

From Karun's angle, he could clearly see the attachment in his eyes, and this expression was not fake.

After about fifteen minutes, a black extended "Pilsa" business car stopped on the side of the road. A young woman got out of the car. She looked seven points similar to Elisa and should be her sister.

Accompanying her were two male servants.

When they arrived at the funeral home, she looked around with a dissatisfied expression in her eyes.

Karun unconsciously smiled when he caught this detail. He smelled a familiar feeling from this woman, and the indifference between big families was reflected in her.

Dinkum, who was sprinkling water, stepped aside, but when the woman came over, a security guard behind her still took the initiative to step forward and block Dinkum, causing him to fall to the ground.

"What are you doing!"

Pick rushed over to help Dinkum up and was about to demand an explanation, but Dinkum pulled him back when he saw Karun still sitting in the corner.

Then, Dinkum's gaze shifted to Karun, and seeing that he was still sitting there, he pulled Pick back and got up by himself.The woman stopped and looked at Karun sitting in the corner. Then she turned around.

"Smack!"

She slapped a bodyguard in the face, leaving a bright red mark.

Then the woman walked in and approached the autopsy table.

The man saw the woman and knelt in front of her.

The woman didn't even look at him and instead looked at Elisha lying in the coffin.

After a while, she reached into the coffin and took out a box containing Elisha's fangs and nails.

"Hehe..."

The woman laughed.

"Hehe..."

The woman continued to laugh, covering her face.

Karun silently took a sesame candy from in front of him, unwrapped it, and put it in his mouth. The candy wasn't sweet, but it tasted good.

The woman put the box back and walked down the steps towards Karun.

Two bodyguards instinctively tried to follow her, but Alfred Basque blocked them.

The woman raised her hand, and the two bodyguards stepped back quietly.

Then Karun smelled a strong fragrance, which wasn't the type of perfume that Yunes Allen would use.

The woman sat down next to him and asked, "Are you the judge here?"

"No," Karun answered honestly.

"Where is the judge?"

"He's not here."

"Okay, I see."

The woman pointed to the autopsy table and said, "My sister is lying inside."

Karun nodded and said, "I can tell."

"Do we look alike?"

"Um."

"No, actually, we don't look alike at all. I'm not as foolish as she was, to end up like this for a man."

"For him?"

Karun pointed to the man still kneeling by the coffin.

"Him?" The woman laughed, shook her head, and said, "She wasn't foolish enough to end up like this for him."

Karun took another piece of sesame candy, unwrapped it, and put it in his mouth.

The woman saw this and frowned slightly. She hesitated before taking a piece herself and considering whether to unwrap it.

"It's pretty good," Karun recommended.

"Oh, is it?" The woman unwrapped the candy and put it in her mouth. "It's okay."

"Will you take the coffin and body with you?" Karun asked.

"Yes."

"Okay."

"Anyway, thank you for holding the funeral for her."

"It was arranged by our boss. We only carried it out. You don't need to thank us."

The woman leaned back slightly, still chewing the sesame candy, and looked around outside.

Then, a shadow appeared in the night, a middle-aged man with sharp facial features and wearing a black coat. When he appeared, the two bodyguards knelt down before him."Father..."

The woman stood up and walked towards the middle-aged man.

"I thought you wouldn't come."

The man didn't respond to his daughter, but instead walked towards the mortuary table.

The butler continued to kneel down, his body trembling. It was clear that he was very afraid of this man.

"Lord Count... I... I... I didn't take good care of Miss... I, Gross, am guilty, guilty!"

The man referred to as the Count only looked at the woman lying in the coffin, then reached out and picked up the small box, opening it.

"Removing the ancestral tooth is extremely disrespectful to our clan."

Karun stood up and replied, "Because no one informed me of the specific procedures beforehand, we could only follow local customs for the funeral makeup. Please forgive us."

The Count's gaze swept towards Karun and asked the same question a woman had asked earlier:

"Are you the judge here?"

"No, our boss is not here. I am a divine servant here."

"Are there only divine servants here?"

"Yes, sir."

The Count stepped down from the mortuary table and came to the chair, sitting down.

The woman took the initiative to pick up a piece of sesame candy, opened the packaging, and handed it to the Count:

"Father, sister is gone, you still have me."

The Count didn't open his mouth to eat the candy, but slapped his daughter in the face.

"Smack!"

The woman was slapped and fell to the ground.

Karun, who was sitting next to her, witnessed this scene.

Hmm, it seems that this family has a tradition of slapping people in the face.

"Father?"

"This is your sister's mourning hall. You should show the proper respect, Itis."

Itis didn't dare to argue, stood up, and wanted to sit next to her father.

"Kneel in front of your sister's coffin."

"Father?"

"Go!"

Itis pursed her lips and finally walked towards the mortuary table and knelt down.

The Count looked at Karun and asked, "How long will the mourning ceremony last?"

"It will end at 2 am." Karun replied.

"Okay, have the funeral expenses been paid?"

"Yes, they have."

The Count nodded, sat up straight, and closed his eyes.

For a long time after that, everything seemed depressing and boring.

Those who knelt continued to kneel, those who sat continued to sit, and those who lay down continued to lie down.

Alfred poured a glass of ice water for Karun and brought him today's newspaper. He knew his young master needed these things now.

Karun gestured, and Alfred understood, pouring a cup of hot tea for the Count, who nodded slightly in acknowledgement.

Then, Alfred poured a cup of tea for the other two guests and placed them in front of them.

Itis raised her head slightly and looked at the glass of water placed in front of her, gritting her teeth but didn't dare to lash out.Because of the kneeling position she and the male servant Gross were in, with their hands stretched forward and their butts raised on the tiles, a glass of water placed in front of them looked like two dogs drinking water while lying down from afar.

Karun used the posture of reading a newspaper to cover his face.

A bloodthirsty demon died, and her sister and father happened to be in York City?

And it seems that they did not sneak in secretly, so they should have come for other purposes, and it was a semi-public nature.

Karun speculated that they should be envoys of the family, coming to York City to negotiate some cooperation with a certain orthodox church, so they received some degree of recognition and protection.

Even, it is likely to be the Order of the Gods.

Otherwise, it cannot explain why they would appear here so openly. After all, they did not know that Judge Pavarotti was not here before they came. They dared to face the judge openly, obviously not afraid of causing conflicts or being reported.

But, is it just a coincidence?

They just arrived, and Elisa lost herself and committed suicide?

Karun looked at the time, just past midnight.

In fact, the reason why the mourning time is so long is to facilitate people who are far away to come and mourn and see the deceased for the last time. If there are no other people coming, those who have mourned do not need to continue waiting.

Finally, the Count stood up and said, "Itis, take your sister home."

"Yes, father."

Itis finally got up from the ground and signaled his two bodyguards to carry the coffin.

But at this moment, a group of figures suddenly appeared outside, standing far away on the side of the road, and the atmosphere in the mourning hall instantly froze.

The two bodyguards immediately stood at the door, and Itis also looked nervously outside.

"Hehe...hehehe..."

Laughter came from Gross, who had been kneeling on the ground before. He slowly stood up and looked at Itis and the Count in a ferocious voice, "The people of the Bocat and Magna families have come. Miss, sir, you can't leave today."

Bocat and Magna are the three major bloodthirsty demon families that are on par with Anawas. These three families once controlled a country during the peak of the bloodthirsty demon in the previous era.

Itis turned his head and stared at Gross angrily, "Gross, you betrayed us!"

"No, I didn't!" Gross roared angrily, "I did it to avenge my beloved Miss. You, you, you are the executioners who killed Miss!"

Gross walked down from the autopsy table and continued, "Why are you so cruel? I really don't understand why you should treat Miss like this. When I secretly went to find you and hoped to give her a bottle of restorative liquid, you gave it to me. I was really crazy happy at the time, because I knew that my beloved Miss could temporarily stay away from the troubles of the lost!"When I brought it to Miss, she cried directly. After leaving home for so many years, she once again felt the warmth from her family. She even said she wanted to go to the alley opposite the hotel where Count lived and kneel down to pray for him!

But after Miss drank it, she lost control and suddenly accelerated, faster and earlier than expected!

Miss didn't even see the last person and had to use a silver nail to kill herself!

Why...how could you be so heartless?"

The Count looked at Gross. "So, you contacted the people from the Bocat and Magna families?"

"Yes, that's right. They are very sensitive and angry about you representing Anavas to come to York City to negotiate cooperation with the Church because they didn't expect Anavas to choose to betray the group of bloodthirsty demons!

So, they wanted to stop it, and I contacted them. I guessed that you would come here tonight, I guessed that you and you would definitely come.

Because you killed Miss with your own hands, as the murderer, you will definitely come and admire your achievements!

I guessed right, so I let those two families wait here in York City. Now, they have arrived.

In Miss's mourning hall, you need to accompany her burial!!!"

"Madman, madman, madman, you traitor, Gross, I'll tear you apart first!"

Eris showed two fangs, but when she was about to pounce on Gross, a whistle came from outside.

Soon, the originally dark figures gradually became clear. They were wearing black robes and black masks on their faces, like a group of ghosts suddenly appearing.

But how could they be bloodthirsty demons or the Bocat and Magna families lurking in York City? It was impossible because they were the Order's Whip!

Karun had seen Thales and his team of subordinates from the Order's Whip. They didn't have the same temperament as the people in front of them, the kind of awe-inspiring feeling.

The strength of each Order's Whip team actually had a big gap?

"How...how is this possible!" Gross couldn't believe his eyes as he looked at the people outside.

At this moment, a black mist appeared in the center of the mourning hall. When the black mist dissipated, Neo's figure appeared.

"The group of people from Bocat and Magna who illegally entered the city has been cleared by the Order," Neo said calmly.

"Neo!"

Eris looked at Neo with a surprised expression on her face. This surprise was not just because she knew she wouldn't be surrounded.

The Count also looked at Neo with a complicated expression.

Gross pointed at Neo. "You...you...how could you do this, how could you!""I know you won't just be satisfied with helping her with a funeral; I know you will find a way to help her seek revenge, but you are just an ordinary person, you can't do it yourself, so you can only contact other forces. When I was in Sangpu City, I knew you had a way to contact two other families."

"I went to find the contact method for Miss to buy the restorative liquid, but it turned out that the restorative liquid from the other two families was useless for Miss. Hehehe... Did you even consider this?"

"Miss got the wrong person, she really got the wrong person, Neo, you are just an animal!"

Neo calmly said, "The Count is here on behalf of the Avanas family to negotiate cooperation with the Order in York City. I must ensure the Count's safety. This is for the sake of order."

"Then what about Miss? What is she in your eyes?" Gross shouted hoarsely.

Neo's gaze fell on the coffin on the mortuary table.

The Count said, "According to the agreement, this cooperation should be kept secret. Now, you have made it public. The Ananas family will have no way out. This is what you wanted, right?"

Neo shook his head. "I am only responsible for ensuring your safety, my lord."

Eris walked towards Gross. "Traitor, I'll kill you first!"

A whip directly stopped Eris.

"Neo, let me kill him. He is a servant who dared to betray the master. He deserves to die!"

"He is an ordinary person and needs to be tried," Neo said calmly.

"Neo, don't stop me. He is my family's servant, and I have the right to deal with him. Don't stop me, Neo!"

Obviously, Eris and Neo had known each other for a long time.

Neo walked to Eris and put his hand on her shoulder. "Stand still, don't move."

After the physical contact, Eris suddenly felt uncomfortable. She seemed a little shy and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Neo looked at the Count and asked, "My lord, is the restorative liquid you gave to Gross fake?"

When Eris heard this question, a look of horror appeared in her eyes.

The Count said seriously, "I could have not given her the restorative liquid. Since I decided to give it to her, why would I give her a fake one? In the past, I could have watched her betray the family and fall into the abyss of loss, but as a father, I won't stand by and watch her fall. And now that we have cooperation with the Order, giving her the restorative liquid to establish a relationship between her and you will also not be opposed by the elders in the family. Actually, when I saw Elisa lying in the coffin, my first reaction was that you wanted her to die for your own future, so that her identity wouldn't drag you down. I know that because of Elisa's relationship, your team has been stuck in Sangpu City for many years and couldn't get promoted. This time, you finally got this opportunity."

Neo murmured, "It wasn't you..."Count naturally said, "Of course it's not me."

"Then it must be her."

Suddenly, a black dagger appeared in Neo's hand, which was resting on Eris's shoulder. He swiftly sliced off Eris's head.

He grabbed her hair and placed her head in front of him.

"Although she never told me, I know she missed her family and wanted to go back home. You can accompany her to her grave."

This way, my Elisa won't be lonely anymore."
