The vampires gaped in astonishment.
Even Bernard, who was the Lord of the East Sea Metropolis and a Grandmaster professional, was also shocked to the core.
He gazed deeply at William. He believed that William was telling the truth.
But even if he was the Lord of the City of Dawn, what could he do?
If Bernard were to kill William right now, who would know about it?
Even if everyone got to know that Bernard had killed William, would his supporters take revenge just because of one death?
At this thought, Bernard made his move.
That was right. He wanted to test the power of William. If William was that capable, then Bernard would let Diablo take revenge on the Bruce family.
If Bernard were to back down from the challenge, how would his subordinates view him?
Bernard was a city lord, and he had built his reputation with brute force. He had grown from weak to strong and had a rich experience. Why would he yield to intimidation?
