As Herod raised both his hands, silence descended upon the crowd.
He declared, “And now, I'll officially announce the kill order. Anyone, be it vampires, werewolves, or any other member of dark clans, whoever kills Nathan will be rewarded with a drop of my dark blood essence.”
Dark blood essence!
Lux and everyone else's eyes glistened in response.
Dark blood essence was the blood essence belonging to the vampire elite that contained tremendous amounts of energy. Any dark clan warrior who ingested it would experience an exponential increase in strength.
As a result, the blood essence of someone as powerful as Herod was highly coveted among members of the dark clans.
That was the reason the burning desire within the vampires was ignited.
When he saw the ambitious looks on their faces, Herod smiled in satisfaction. “Whoever kills Nathan can come and claim the reward from me. Now, off you go.”
“Understood!”
With that, the vampires began to leave in an orderly manner in accordance with their ranks.
Soon, the only ones left in the hall were Herod, Lyanna, and a group of bodyguards.
Just as Herod was about to leave, he suddenly noticed that someone else had remained—Max.
Stopping in his tracks, he asked curiously, “Is there something else?”
Max replied, “Patriarch Herod, there's something I would like to report to you in private.”
“We'll speak in my study.”
Inside Herod's study, Lyanna served both of them a glass of fresh blood before leaving the room.
After that, Herod held up his glass and gestured for Max to do the same.
Surprised by the respect the former showed, Max quickly raised his glass and took a quick sip.
Herod then asked flatly, “Tell me, what is it?”
