Incorrect. They did end up making a big fuss.
An hour later, Damon stood in the huge hall of a much grander castle, and staring down at him were two powerful C-rank vampires, two elders of the Valeross family. Power rolled off them in heavy waves. One was a broad-shouldered man in dark plate, scars running across his face. The other was a woman in a long robe, eyes cold.
Of course, there was also Alaric standing next to them. From the looks of it, he belonged to the same family.
The Valeross family controlled this particular mountain in the Crimson Mountain range, and Hinata mentioned that she was also a member of the same family. Since Damon had entered the crimson mountains through their family’s territory, they were by default the ones responsible for his admission into the mountains.
The two elders watched him like animals watching a new piece of meat. The man in the dark plate folded his arms; the woman in the robe didn’t move at all, but her eyes seemed to cut right through Damon.
"You arriving there right when Hinata is on the cusp of finishing an important mission for the family... isn’t it all a little too coincidental? How were you, a mere blood acolyte, able to survive a clash with the demon lord’s heir?"
Hinata hurriedly opened her mouth to support Damon, but the woman’s cold glare made her shut up. "I am asking him." Demora Valeross said coldly. She stepped forward, eyes boring into Damon. "You will answer me directly."
Damon sneered inwardly. Sure, why not simply give them all of his secrets? Do they really expect someone to be that dumb?
He remained calm and responded with the same answer. "I came from the light-faction continent," he said. "I run a small blood hall there. We paid a fortune for Crimson Mountain reinforcements, billions of gold, in fact."
"I heard about the dark continent and received a quest to open up a portal. A group of us came through the portal. I merely happened to wander into the small demon city by chance to try and find a way to connect with the other vampires."
"Everything that happened was indeed a coincidence. I have never met Hinata before nor heard of her. The first time I saw her, she asked me to stay away from her and the other vampires for the time being. I intended to do the same, but the auction caught my interest."
"As for the demon lord’s heir, I have no idea who he was and why he was there. I was equally shocked to find someone like that in that small demon city."
Demora’s eyes narrowed. "Let’s say I believe your words and your ridiculous explanation. Still, how do you explain the heir’s sudden misfortune? What caused his condition to become like that out of nowhere?
