After discussing going out to eat, Luo Wei walked towards the door and put on his coat.
Evelyn stood frozen behind him.
"Can I... can I go out?"
Luo Wei glanced at her and mentally issued a command to the containment facility. The mansion's main door immediately flashed with a faint light.
[Restrictions Lifted]
[Free Attack Mode]
Evelyn blinked, and then an expression of disbelief appeared on her face.
"You're willing to let me go out??"
Luo Wei looked at her calmly and nodded gently.
Evelyn immediately lit up like an excited cat, darting out from the kitchen as her blood-colored shadow instantly appeared at the doorway.
Then, she stopped suspiciously.
"Wait, you're just letting me go like this? I'm free??"
"Aren't you afraid... that I'll go back to my family and seek revenge? With your strength, wouldn't you be killed instantly?"
Evelyn narrowed her eyes - something wasn't right, something was definitely not right!
There must be a trap here!
Seeing that she could resist the temptation and hold herself back from leaving, Luo Wei couldn't help but smile.
"Teacher, are you paranoid?"
Evelyn snorted coldly, recalling the events of the past few days in her mind.
Just thinking about when he used commands, those black chains that suddenly appeared on her wrists, that instant tightening pain, and that subtle mocking smile on Luo Wei's face...
She felt certain things weren't this simple!
"You're so devious, yet you dare to let me go so easily - aren't you... plotting something!"
Seeing her suspicious expression, Luo Wei pursed his lips.
"If you don't trust me, I'm leaving."
"Stay home and starve then, I'm going to eat."
With that, he stepped right out the door.
Leaving behind a dumbfounded Evelyn.
"Huh?"
"Hey, don't go!"
"You..."
Luo Wei hadn't closed the door, and Evelyn stared at the wide-open doorway, her gaze wavering.
"He must be tricking me..."
"There must be a trap..."
"I won't go out..."
While she was muttering to herself,
Her stomach growled uncooperatively.
Her face immediately fell, all her emotions seemingly pierced by the feeling of hunger...
"Maybe..."
"Just go out for a bit?"
"I can try to figure out what Luo Wei is thinking..."
The blood-red shadow flashed instantly as she hurried to catch up with Luo Wei.
"Luo Wei! Don't eat without me!"
"I want to eat too!!"
Watching her scurrying after him, Luo Wei secretly laughed to himself.
Her mouth says no, but her body is quite honest...
After walking around the streets for a while, Luo Wei brought Evelyn to a small tavern not far from home.
The tavern also served food, and at this hour, there were quite a few city workers who had just gotten off work.
Smelling the aroma wafting from the shop, Evelyn's stomach growled even louder.
Seeing Luo Wei's teasing gaze, she lowered her head in embarrassment.
"Let's not stand here... let's go in quickly..."
Luo Wei nodded, and just as he was about to push the door open—
A resentful voice came from the small alley next to the tavern.
"Brother, where are you going?"
They both quickly looked over to see Helena hidden in the dark alley, staring at Luo Wei without blinking.
"You scared me..."
Luo Wei patted his chest, realizing she hadn't gone far and had been following him since he left home.
"The kitchen at home is broken, brother came out to eat..."
"Oh..." Helena slowly walked out of the darkness, tilting her head curiously.
"Isn't this woman a vampire? Brother has to bring her along even when going out to eat?"
"Your relationship... seems quite close..."
The killing intent that subtly emerged made Evelyn warily arch her body, blood magic seemingly ready to burst forth.
"Wait!" Luo Wei hurriedly tried to explain to her why he needed to bring Evelyn to eat.
But Evelyn just snorted coldly, "Do you need to report everything to her? Is she your sister? Your lover? Or your mother?"
Luo Wei glanced at her helplessly, thinking, sister, please don't run your mouth.
Did you eat gunpowder or something? Why so aggressive?
Evelyn glanced at Luo Wei, crossed her arms, and finally stopped talking.
Looking at the subtle expressions between the two, though neither seemed particularly pleased, there was clearly some kind of intimate atmosphere surrounding them...
Helena's gaze grew even darker.
"So brother is on a date..."
"Did I come at a bad time?"
"Not at all!" Luo Wei's face broke into a big smile.
Then, ignoring Helena's resistance, he pulled her over.
"You came at just the right time~"
He pulled Helena to his right side, with Evelyn on his left.
Helena showed an unwilling expression, especially when seeing Evelyn so close.
Evelyn blinked, surprised at Luo Wei.
How dare he?
But Luo Wei really dared... especially now.
Since gaining the Vampire Clan's incredible healing abilities, his level of audacity had skyrocketed. In the past, he wouldn't have dared to say a single wrong word to Helena...
This was the confidence that supernatural powers had given him!
I, Luo Wei, fear no love triangle!
"Helena hasn't eaten either, so let's eat together~"
Luo Wei smiled at her, and after firmly holding her hand to show he wouldn't let go, Helena finally gave up resisting.
"Then... let's eat together."
She turned her head away as she said this.
And so, three people with three different expressions sat in the corner of the tavern.
"Luo Wei, order this for me!"
"I want that!"
"And that too!"
Evelyn pointed imperiously at items on the menu, showing no restraint.
Helena rested her chin on her hand, glaring at her with murderous intent.
Luo Wei sat in the middle, preventing them from destroying the shop.
He didn't even have time to eat, too busy watching their expressions, worried they might start fighting over a piece of fried fish.
This "warm" atmosphere continued until...
The sound of hoofbeats outside the tavern.
The hoofbeats were heavy and powerful, clearly from fast horses, and there were many of them.
The atmosphere in the tavern grew quiet, and all three looked up.
Several black carriages had stopped in front of the small tavern, and a group of mysterious people wearing black coats stepped down into the narrow tavern entrance.
Though they weren't carrying guns, they emanated an aura of danger even more intense than the Special Affairs Department agents they'd encountered before.
Luo Wei's brows furrowed slightly.
The leading black-clad figure pushed open the door and walked straight to Luo Wei's table.
"Mr. Luo Wei Edlin, His Highness requests your presence."
