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…
After about forty minutes of driving, the car finally came to a halt at the foot of the mountain. Since the
car couldn’t 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 dere, “…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 fresherpared to the
city’s. Aside from the crisp air, they were also surrounded by the rejuvenating aura of the nts around
them…
Regardless, after walking for about half an hour, the five of them eventually arrived at a vige.
The vige 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 vigntly at the
group, a man wearing a leather jacket walked up to Gerald, ring 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 wares!”
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 wee people in the vige, it also caused
their food supply to rapidly diminish as the vigers 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?”
