The Heavenly Emperor nodded, feeling more confident about this, yet still wary of the Vampires and whatever scheme they might be weaving.
"So the vampire you sent after Wu Lieng died. How?"
"Wu Lieng killed her."
"...WHAT?! I didn't receive that report!"
"Perhaps they didn't know how it ended. That man is the son of the Heavenly Demon, right? I can tell he's awakening his powers faster than you imagine. My daughter was among the most vicious of my four Archdukes, so if she lost, it means he's truly powerful."
"Ugh..." The Heavenly Emperor groaned, frustration rising as those "loose ends" persisted.
He had been trying to eliminate that man for years, yet he always failed, or the target vanished only to reappear later.
"What's wrong? Are you upset?"
"Yes. I've been trying for years to dispose of him. How annoying! Why do you interfere in my personal matters? He must die!"
"That's what you want, but if he lives, he can supply us with rich blood. That's why we seek him."
