"What are you all doing during work hours? Natasha, come to my office." Natalie's voice was cold, her expression dark as she barked out the command. Without sparing Daniel a glance, she turned on her heel and walked away, her rigid posture making her dissatisfaction crystal clear.Natasha froze. 'This is bad.' Like a child caught red-handed, she felt a wave of panic wash over her. Lowering her head, she hurried after Natalie, her movements obedient and subdued. As she followed, she couldn't help but glance back at Daniel, her eyes clouded with a mix of emotions she couldn't quite untangle.Inside the office, Natalie didn't say a word. She simply stood there, her sharp gaze cutting straight through Natasha as if peeling back every layer of her thoughts. The silence was suffocating, and Natasha, unable to bear the weight of it, caved almost immediately."Ms. Clark, I know I was wrong," she blurted, her voice trembling with remorse. "I shouldn't have been fooling around

Vroom, vroom, vroom! The roar of a motorcycle engine shattered the quiet as Rose pulled up in front of Daniel. Dressed in a sleek black leather jacket and a matching helmet, she exuded bold confidence and rebellious charm."Well, well, your grandpa actually let you out?" Daniel said, raising an eyebrow. He was genuinely surprised to see her. Callum rarely allowed Rose to leave his turf.Rose removed her helmet, shaking out her hair as she revealed a delicate yet stubborn face."Hmph, if I want to go out, no one can stop me," she said, tossing her hair with a proud glint in her eyes.Daniel sighed and gave her a helpless smile. "You're as headstrong as ever. Let me guess—your grandpa's going to be furious when he finds out you sneaked out again, huh?""My grandpa doesn't have the time to worry about me right now," Rose replied, her tone growing serious. "Because of you, the Center of the World is in chaos. The balance has completely unraveled. The Coope

The underlings barely registered a blur before Daniel appeared in front of them like a phantom.A series of dull thuds followed, accompanied by agonized screams, as one by one, they were sent flying by Daniel's overwhelming strength. Bodies crashed into the walls and slid to the floor, leaving trails of blood behind. None of them moved again.Katherine's face went pale as she watched the scene unfold. Her body trembled uncontrollably, and fear clouded her eyes. She took a shaky step back, her voice quivering as she said, "Daniel, you've made a terrible mistake. My family won't let you get away with this."Daniel turned to her, his gaze icy and unrelenting. "So what?" he said coldly. "I'm not afraid of anyone's threats."Katherine instinctively stepped back, but Daniel moved faster. In an instant, he was in front of her, his presence suffocating. With a swift motion, he tore through the delicate fabric of her dress, leaving her exposed."Ah!" Katherine scream

"The Vampires..." Katherine's voice trembled as she stared at her master, now fully revealed as a vampire. Her legs gave out beneath her, and she collapsed to the ground, her face pale with terror. Her entire body shook uncontrollably, and her lips quivered as she stammered, "Th-this... how is this possible? I... I've been kept in the dark all this time."Tears streamed down her face as despair and regret filled her wide eyes. "Master... no, you monster! You deceived me!"Daniel glanced at Katherine, who was slumped on the ground in shock, and said calmly, "At least you know the truth now. But whether you survive or not... that's up to you."Declan let out a guttural roar. "Brat, you're finished!" Without another word, he lunged at Daniel with inhuman speed, his claws slicing through the air.Daniel's gaze sharpened, and a sudden burst of radiant light erupted from his hand, illuminating the dark manor. Vampires feared light—it was their greatest weakness.<

Daniel boarded the bus and quickly realized there were no seats available. With a resigned sigh, he grabbed onto the handrail and stood near the center aisle. The bus started moving, and as it traveled further, more and more passengers squeezed on at each stop. The space became so cramped it felt like a can of sardines, leaving barely any room to breathe, let alone move.Amid the jostling crowd, a delicate figure was suddenly pushed forward, landing right in Daniel's arms."Evelyn?" Daniel's voice carried a note of surprise as he looked down at the woman now pressed against him. Her long, golden hair cascaded over her shoulders like a shimmering waterfall. Her delicate face was flushed from the heat and closeness of the crowd, and her bright eyes held a flicker of panic.Hearing his voice, Evelyn looked up at him, her expression softening as a glimmer of delight flashed in her eyes. "Daniel, what a coincidence."The bus jolted again as more people crammed in, for
