Odd Containment Specialist

There were whispers all around, and the crowd in the distance was in an uproar. The nobles in front of Xia Shou slowly separated from far to near, making way. A gray-haired man with half his chest exposed came to Xia Shou in front of the crowd.

"Let me introduce you to you. This is Lord Xia! Let us welcome him!" The gray-haired man raised his wine bowl and loudly encouraged the atmosphere. He stared at Xia Shou excitedly, and his every move was full of artificial enthusiasm.

The crowd burst into warm applause and laughter, and Xia Shou glanced at everyone coldly.

The uneasiness and anxiety of these people were almost written on their faces, but they still forced a smile and tried their best to make their emotions match that of the gray-haired man.

...They were afraid of this man.

Xia Shou's intuition was not wrong.

Although the participants of the ball this time were all ministers of the royal family and nobles close to the royal family, none of them were not afraid of Charles I.

After Charles I became a vampire, his moody temper and weird and perverted habits tortured everyone around him all the time.

As a king, he was pampered and enjoyed the best life in the country before he became a vampire.

After becoming a vampire, his desire began to expand endlessly, trying to make others understand his deep psychological needs.

He hoped that everyone who met him for the first time would be intimidated by his temperament and feel genuine fear of him.

But he always maintained a friendly, casual and approachable appearance, and made the first-time visitors feel friendly and relaxed from his behavior.

Just like now, Charles I warmly welcomed Xia Shou and asked the ministers to welcome him together. This treatment was enough to make anyone of ordinary status feel flattered.

After all, the one who welcomed him was the nominal ruler of this country, and his actual ruling power was enough to stand out from the crowd.

Except for the Red Thorn, the family of Grand Duke Rosa, the royal family was higher than the other six families.

Who wouldn't be flattered and have a good impression of the king after being welcomed so grandly by such a person?

However, most people do this, getting close to this noble and respectable king in their hearts, but they don't know that it is just touching the other party's reverse scale.

If someone really behaves like that, Charlie will feed the other party to blood slaves after the first meeting, or give the other party unbearable strong blood in the name of reward, and watch the other party go crazy and die.

The princes and nobles present were all worried about Xia Shou. Although they didn't care about Xia Shou's life or death, the test Xia Shou faced was the test that everyone had experienced at the beginning. This commonality made them instinctively empathize.

The correct reaction at this time was that Xia Shou did not feel the slightest joy of this warm welcome, but should be afraid and terrified of King Charles. That kind of panic that was out of control was what Charlie wanted to see.

Only this kind of panic that made Charles feel happy from the bottom of his heart, making him feel that no matter how he humbled himself, no matter how gentle and amiable he behaved, he could not hide his strong and domineering nature as a king.

So that those who met him for the first time would be overwhelmed by his kingly pressure.

And those who could not feel his majesty were beasts who did not even have the minimum perception, not even human beings.

All the ministers and nobles in the royal family knew the king's perverted and weird narcissistic thoughts, but no one dared to mention it, and everyone kept silent tacitly.

"Lord Xia, I have been waiting for you, and I can't wait."

Charles I called him Lord, his mouth corners raised, and the entourage behind him took the wine bowl in his hand very sensibly. Charles, who was able to free his hands, patted Xia Shou's shoulders affectionately.

Xia Shou looked at the other person's face expressionlessly, not understanding what the other person was up to.

"Thank you for inviting me here." Xia Shou said.

Very polite, short reply.

The applause around suddenly became less enthusiastic, and the smiles on the faces of the ministers froze.

This was the worst reaction, worse than being flattered.

This kind of neither humble nor arrogant performance, not affected by Charlie at all, would ignite the anger of this mad king like a fuel of extremely high purity.

It might even make this king with a paranoid and eccentric personality, regardless of the decency and elegance he had always maintained, directly go crazy in public!

Very few of the ministers had seen it, and the horrific scene still makes Duke George and Earl Hyde feel horrified.

The cause of the incident was just a very small matter, even insignificant.

The son of an earl caught a hunter lurking in the capital while suppressing the rioting blood slaves, and made a great contribution.

This young man has a unique talent as a vampire. After receiving the First Embrace when he became an adult, he awakened the power of the Earl level in just two years. He is undoubtedly the leader of the younger generation and a well-deserved genius.

King Charles suddenly wanted to meet such a genius in person and confer him an honor.

Before this, the genius's father repeatedly told him that he must be terrified and at a loss when he saw the king, because that was in line with the king's wishes.

But his son didn't know what was wrong with his brain, or he was too confident in his achievements and strength. When he first met the king, he actually expressed his loyalty to the other party very enthusiastically, vowing to devote his entire life to make the Red Thorn Family submit to the royal family.

With just this sentence, the young man exploded into blood in public.

But if it was just this, it would not be enough to scare the ministers.

They are all vampires. Seeing broken limbs is like seeing a smashed cake. It only affects their mood at most.

What really frightens the ministers is that after their king gets angry like this, he will withdraw his wounded self-esteem from other onlookers. At that time, the test of life and death will be transferred from the dead unlucky guy to them on the sidelines.

Without extraordinary language arts and performance skills, it would be normal for a few innocent ministers to die.

But now, the Eastern man's reply to Charlie was even worse than that of the earl's son who exploded into blood.

The earl's son at least wanted to show his loyalty, but his words offended an untouchable taboo in Charlie's heart.

The mad king knew very well that the royal family had no power to compete with the Red Thorn family, so the heroic words of loyalty expressed by the earl's son became harsh irony in his ears.

But at least, this young man's original intention is good, but the attitude of this oriental-faced human being is fundamentally wrong!

The applause around them gradually died down, and finally it was completely silent, leaving only the orchestra still playing music.

The nobles cursed this human's stupidity in their hearts.

How dare this humble and lowly human being pose as an equal in front of vampires like them? At the same time, he was also working hard to organize his next words.

After Xia Shou dies, it will be their turn to perform. If they can't coax the mad king, a few more people's blood will inevitably be shed.

The atmosphere changed subtly. Xia Shou frowned slightly and winked at Su Weiyu.

Su Weiyu pulled out her silver sword and stood quietly in a safe position slightly away from Xia Shou.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Xia Shou asked cautiously.

He saw that the corners of Charlie's mouth seemed to be twitching slightly, his smile was stiff, and his red eyes were as bright as fire.

Charlie took a deep breath, quickly glanced at Alice floating behind Xia Shou, and regained some sense.

He suddenly opened his mouth and burst into hearty laughter. He patted Xia Shou's shoulder hard and said loudly:

"Come on! Come with me, the circus performance tonight will be very exciting!"
