Chapter 1753
It was at around eleven that night when Gerald and the others finally arrived at the Emerald Realm. The vampires’
territory was an old forest located on an ancient mountain there, and since ancient times, few had ventured into
the forest to meet them…
Fortunately for the party, there were still some operating hotels and inns in the vicinity. With that in mind, the group
of five could finally settle down and get some proper rest…
After booking some rooms, he allowed everyone to head to their respective rooms to get some well-deserved
sleep. After all, they needed to be fully rested before officially entering vampire territory early the next morning…
By dawn, all of them checked out early and immediately began driving toward the old forest in the mountains…

be driven any further, they had no other choice but to continue forward on foot.
Once they got their luggage, they began their journey up the mountain…
As they were walking, Ray couldn’t help but declare, “…I’m not sure about the rest of you, but the air here is
amazingly fresh! It feels rather nice to be away from the hustle and bustle of the city!”
The others knew what he meant. After all, the environment here was definitely fresher compared to the city’s.
Aside from the crisp air, they were also surrounded by the rejuvenating aura of the plants around them…
Regardless, after walking for about half an hour, the five of them eventually arrived at a village.
The village itself was built by the local vampires, and since they lived in such seclusion, their customs were naturally
different.
With that in mind, the second the surrounding vampires noticed Gerald and his party’s presence, they instantly
stopped whatever they were doing. As all the vampires stood up and stared vigilantly at the group, a man wearing
a leather jacket walked up to Gerald, glaring at the youth as he asked, “Who are you people?”
Naturally stopping in their tracks, Gerald then smiled subtly as he replied, “Greetings! We’re merchants!”
“Hah! A merchant, you say? Look, I’ve seen tons of people like you, so cut the act already! Tell me, are you here for
the treasure in the forest?” sneered the man.
Frowning slightly upon hearing that, Gerald couldn’t help but think that the vampires were a bit more difficult to
deal with than he had initially anticipated.
After a slight pause, he then ordered, “Ray, bring the food out!”
Upon hearing that, Ray immediately took all the food out of his backpack before handing some to Gerald.
Taking the food, Gerald then handed them to the leather-coated man before saying, “We really are merchants!
We’re here in exchange for some goods and local specialties! If you still don’t believe us, come examine our
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwares!”
Of course, Gerald was saying this to avoid the man from further being suspicious of them.
After hearing Gerald’s words and seeing the food, the man lowered his guard slightly before taking the food that
Gerald had handed out to him.
Even as the leather-coated man was still inspecting the food, the other vampires were already rushing toward
Gerald and his group.
While Gerald and the others quickly became the most welcome people in the village, it also caused their food
supply to rapidly diminish as the villagers readily traded in gold for the wares.
Naturally, this made Ray, Nori, and Juno slightly worried. After all, if they had no food left, what were they going to
eat when they ventured deeper into the old forest?
At that moment, a gruff voice could be heard shouting, “Step aside!”
Following that, everyone watched as a fat man fumbled forward with a few shabbily-dressed subordinates following
behind him.
“Oho! Outsiders, hmm? What good things have you brought over?”
