1182: Chapter 533: Tutankara_2 1182: Chapter 533: Tutankara_2 “You stepped out of the cetery, the streets silent, not a single vehicle in sight.

You could only walk ho…”

“When you returned to the apartnt, the sky had already brightened.”

“You ca to the second floor of the apartnt, pushed the door open, and entered your room, only to find a broad figure standing inside, making the already small room feel even more cramped.”

“‘Where were you last night?’ the masked man asked as he looked at you, his question sharp.

You choose…”

“‘It was hot, so I went out for so fresh air,’ you replied.”

“‘To the cetery for a breeze?’ the masked man scoffed.”

“‘Is there a cooler place than a cetery?’ you countered.”

“‘I’ve told you not to play clever with ,’ there was a hint of a warning in the masked man’s voice.”

“‘Play clever?

If you can’t keep up, whose fault is that?’ you t his gaze unflinchingly.”

The man’s brows furrowed slightly, seemingly not expecting your sudden defiance.

Mu You of course was defiant; this was the confidence brought by strength.

And after learning that he could potentially die at this man’s hands in the future, Mu You had nothing more to say to him; he was ready to confront him head-on.

“The masked man examined you closely, dropping the topic, and walked towards the door: ‘Let’s go, the Regent King summons you.'”

“‘What for?’ you asked.”

“The masked man didn’t reply, but glanced at the lightening sky outside the window: ‘It’s about to get light.

If you don’t want to get scorched by the sun, you’d better not dawdle.'”

Mu You raised an eyebrow.

He was waiting for daylight; with the ring of the Blood God on his finger, his combat power during the day was enough to erase the disparity in generations.

Mu You was even considering whether to delay a little longer, wait for sunrise, and then attempt to finish the other off directly.

If the prophecy said he would die at the other’s hands, then eliminating him ahead of ti could surely change that fate, right?

But after a mont of hesitation, Mu You still abandoned the idea.

The man seed sharp; if he deliberately stalled for ti, he might be sensed by the other.

Using sunlight as a one-ti advantage would only work once.

Once he revealed his immunity to sunlight, the enemy would certainly beco guarded.

It would be better to wait for a safer opportunity to make a move.

“You silently followed the masked man, leaving the apartnt.”

“…You arrived at the Regent King’s comrcial building and, in the top-floor eting hall, you saw the Regent King once again.”

“The Regent King, dressed in a suit, greeted you with a smile as before, looked you up and down, and clapped his hands, ‘You truly live up to my expectations.

In less than two days, you’ve risen three generations on your own, setting the fastest record in this city to date!'”

Mu You was a bit surprised.

He knew that what had happened last night in the cetery with the masked man must have been known to the other, and he thought for sure the Regent King would question him about it.

But the Regent King had not even ntioned it, deftly moving on.

“After the complint, the Regent King finally introduced the real reason he had called you today: ‘So, after one night, have you considered thoroughly?

Are you willing to accept my bloodline?'”

“As he spoke, the Regent King took out a bottle containing droplets of blood and placed it on the table.”

“‘This is the Blood of Heart Vessels.

If you’ve made your mind up, then consu it,’ the Regent King spoke with an air of expectance.

You choose…”

“Consu the blood droplet, showing your loyalty to the Regent King!”

“Refuse to consu it, claiming you have yet to make a decision.”

“Flip the table, taking advantage of daylight to jump out the window and escape.”

The Regent King seed to have already made plans to force Mu You to take sides.

Mu You was puzzled; given the Regent King’s gracious and magnanimous image, it should not have been so quick for him to lose his patience after just one night.

Additionally, considering what Katerina had ntioned in her prophecy before, “You have drunk the Regent King’s heart’s blood,” it seed to refer to this situation.

Logically, he would never truly drink the Regent King’s heart’s blood; that would equate to becoming the other party’s slave.

Yet, in the predicted future, he had indeed drunk it…

Piecing the two matters together, Mu You felt the vial of blood was perhaps not as simple as it seed on the surface.

After so thought, Mu You had his character glance out the window.

“You look toward the direction of the window.

The indifferent morning sun has just shown its face, casting the first rays of dawn onto the city streets…”

With the sun up, there was nothing for Mu You to fear anymore.

He decided to drink first and see what the problem with the blood was; if it was indeed heart’s blood, he could just backtrack later and escape after a fallout.

“You show the Regent King that you have co to a decision, willing to pledge your loyalty.”

“Under the expectant gaze of the Regent King, you pick up the vial of blood from the table and drink it down without hesitation.”

“The sweet taste of blood relieved the symptoms of your blood hunger slightly, but you did not feel any energy from the blood—this seed to be just a drop of ordinary human blood.”

“You look at the Regent King with confusion.”

“The Regent King has already begun to applaud and approaches you: ‘Very good, my child, you have amply proven your sincerity!'”

“‘As for this drop of blood, don’t be surprised.

It’s rely a drop from a mortal.

I apologize for testing you, but the matter at hand…

I must entrust to soone truly close to .

Without a demonstration of your commitnt, I wouldn’t be able to open up to you.’ The Regent King walks up to you with a smile, pats your shoulder, and says: ‘But now, I can confirm that you are indeed one of us.'”

“So it was really just a test…” Mu You raised an eyebrow.

Of course, it was called a test because he had the pocket watch, which emboldened him to such an extent; in reality, this was a high-stakes gamble that most people would not dare to wager on.

From the Regent King’s perspective, his readiness to drink the blood right away could only an that he had indeed sworn true loyalty.

“The Regent King warmly invites you to sit at the table and begins to discuss the important matters.”

“‘Have you ever heard of ‘Tutankara’?’ the Regent King asks.”

“You shake your head to indicate you do not know.”

“‘Tutankara’, also known as ‘Plague’s Coffin’, is a sarcophagus containing a mummy.

Legend has it that it seals away an ancient Egyptian pharaoh, the ‘Plague King’, who contracted a terrible disease upon his death that was highly contagious.

It could easily destroy an entire clan.

The pharaoh did not wish for his people to be consud by the disease, so he chose to embrace death, sealing his remains and the disease within the sarcophagus, buried beneath the pyramid, and thus a catastrophe was averted…”

“‘Now, ‘Tutankara’ has been exhud by soone and brought into the City of Enoch.

According to reliable intelligence, it is now under the control of Mansour, the leader of the Reforr clan.'”

“‘If the coffin is opened, it will turn the city into a breeding ground for plague, an unthinkable consequence!'”

“You look at the Regent King, puzzled.

Vampires are immortal beings; wouldn’t vampires with their regenerative capabilities be unaffected by the plague?”

“‘Of course vampires don’t fear the plague, but humans cannot withstand such a disease.

Once humans die on a large scale, we will lose our food source, leaving us to starve to death,’ the Regent King explains.”

“‘So, having this coffin within the City of Enoch is like having a nuclear weapon.

Its deterrence is more significant than its actual lethality.

Whoever controls the coffin commands the speech.'”

“‘As you know, those Reforrs have always wanted to overthrow our rule.

They were few and had not posed much of a threat before, but now, they have started to gain montum and, with the acquisition of Tutankara, have beco a significant threat to us.

They must be stopped!'”

“The Regent King looks at you eagerly: ‘Now, I have found out the exact location of Tutankara.

I need soone to retrieve it and then destroy it to thwart this catastrophe.'”

“‘Mansour has a keen sense of sll, and he can recognize anyone from the three high clans from afar.

So, this task can only be done by you, who has not yet officially joined us.

But rember, do not attempt to destroy or open it; it’s too dangerous.

You must bring it back to intact, and I will organize experts to destroy it with professional asures!'”

Mu You understood upon reading this far; no wonder he used fake heart’s blood to test him—he needed him to maintain pure bloodlines for the task.

“The Plague’s Coffin, huh…”

Mu You, looking at the description of Tutankara above, imdiately made the connection to Katerina’s warning not to touch a certain item—could she have been referring to this very coffin?
