Chapter 33 - Family Division

In the dark night of the Lost City, the internal tension within the vampire family intensified. Casavell stood in the center of the family hall, his gaze serious, confronting the divisive issues among the members.

In the family hall, Casavell's voice echoed in the night of the Lost City.

Casavell: "The revelation of the Night Goddess has brought us the light of wisdom, but we must face the challenges of internal and external crises. The threat of vampire hunters and the distrust of human society demand a new strategy from us."

Alex: "I agree, but there's disagreement within the family about engaging in dialogue with the vampire hunters. Some members believe it's a risky move that could lead to more trouble."

Elena: "We can't only focus on external threats; we must also address internal divisions. If we have differing opinions on external matters, it makes us vulnerable in every aspect."

Family Member 1: "But, Casavell, we're concerned that this dialogue might expose our weaknesses and give the vampire hunters an opportunity."

Family Member 2: "Moreover, the Special Operations Team has been constantly pressuring us. We can't afford to show weakness easily."

Casavell: "I understand everyone's concerns, but we can't be indecisive. Before engaging in dialogue, we need to establish a stronger unity internally, ensuring everyone understands our shared goals."

Alex: "I suggest we showcase our goodwill before the dialogue. Participating in some charitable activities in human society can change their perception of us."

Elena: "That's a good idea. We can prove our goodwill through practical actions, showing people that we're not the threat they imagine."

Family Member 3: "However, we can't ignore the threat from the Special Operations Team. They've been intensifying their pressure on us. How do we deal with that?"

Casavell: "Stability externally, unity internally. We can assign some members to handle the Special Operations Team's issues while others continue to seek opportunities for dialogue with the vampire hunters."

Alex: "We need to find a balance, addressing external threats while resolving internal divisions. Only then can we be more secure."

In the discussion among family members, the atmosphere gradually eased. Members began to contemplate how to find balance amid internal and external challenges. Rational discussions emerged amid debates, with each member expressing concerns about the family's future.

Casavell: "We must find opportunities in this crisis to showcase the unity and wisdom of our vampire family."

Alex: "At the same time, we need to closely monitor the response of human society and adjust our strategy promptly."

Elena: "Internal and external, only by doing so can we establish a firm foothold in the Lost City."

Meanwhile, in the command center of the Special Operations Team, Emilia and her team were closely monitoring the internal dynamics of the vampire family.

Emilia: "There's division within the vampire family, and this is the opportune moment we can exploit. We need to infiltrate more deeply and escalate our influence on them."

Special Operations Team Member 1: "We can create more emergency events to make the internal situation of the vampire family even more chaotic. This way, they'll be distracted and easier for us to manipulate."

Special Operations Team Member 2: "This dialogue is a good opportunity for us to weaken them. With their internal divisions, we can more easily apply external pressure."

In the following days, the Special Operations Team continued to intensify their efforts against the vampire family using various means. They utilized media and social networks to create a series of events, causing the vampire family's image to suffer greater negative impacts in human society.

Simultaneously, internal discussions within the vampire family persisted. The disagreements and pressures weighed heavily on each family member.

Casavell: "We must find a solution before the storm arrives. Otherwise, the family's division will be inevitable."

Alex: "We can't delay any longer; swift action is necessary."

In the family members' discussions, disagreements still existed, but they began searching for a common direction. Meanwhile, in the Special Operations Team's command center, Emilia and her team were devising new strategies.

Emilia: "The internal division within the family is an opportunity we can exploit. We need to penetrate even deeper and intensify our manipulation."

Special Operations Team Member 1: "Moreover, we can create more urgent situations by manipulating events, causing further chaos within the vampire family."

Special Operations Team Member 2: "This dialogue is an excellent opportunity for us. When they're in trouble, we can more easily apply pressure."

In the following days, the Lost City became even more turbulent. Family members engaged in intense discussions internally, while the Special Operations Team continued to cause trouble externally. The city's nights were filled with tension and uncertainty, as if a storm were about to erupt at any moment.

Casavell: "We must find a solution before the storm arrives. Otherwise, the family's division will be inevitable."

Alex: "We can't delay any longer; swift action is necessary."

Casavell: "We're all aware that division is destructive for us. We must unite and find a way to resolve our differences."

Alex: "Firstly, we need to understand the reasons behind the division. Is it external pressure or internal conflicts causing all this?"

Elena: "I think internal disagreements are one of the main reasons. In matters external, we might have different views, making us vulnerable."

Family Member 1: "So, how do we resolve these differences?"

Casavell: "Firstly, we need to sit down and listen to each other. Understand everyone's perspective and find common ground in how we view the issues. We can't let differences in opinions ignore our shared goals."

Alex: "Additionally, we can establish an internal committee specifically to address internal disagreements. This way, issues can be resolved internally promptly and not be magnified endlessly."

Elena: "I agree. We can also enhance training for members, raising everyone's awareness so that each person can approach issues more rationally."

Family Member 2: "What about the Special Operations Team? They've been exerting pressure on us. How do we deal with that?"

Casavell: "We need to take some proactive measures. Firstly, we can engage in dialogue with the Special Operations Team, attempting to ease conflicts on both sides. Simultaneously, we must strengthen communication with human society, making more people understand our true situation."

Alex: "We can also seek support from external forces, such as establishing partnerships with other supernatural organizations. This way, we can better resist the pressure from the Special Operations Team."

Elena: "We cannot avoid dialogue with the vampire hunters; it's an inevitable path to problem resolution. We need to build mutual trust rather than getting trapped in the vortex of hostility."

Family Member 1: "But dealing with the vampire hunters is no easy task; they've always been our enemies. Letting go of prejudices isn't that simple."

Family Member 2: "We must present a united front externally; we can't let differences weaken our strength. However, we also can't easily trust the promises of the vampire hunters."

Elena: "We must dare to face past hatred. Only through dialogue can we find the possibility of coexistence. Otherwise, we're destined to struggle long-term in hostility."

Family Member 2: "We can't easily trust the promises of the vampire hunters. Past wounds are not easily healed."

Alex: "There's a divergence in our family's understanding of dialogue and balance with vampire hunters. Some see it as a dangerous venture, but we can't ignore the possibility of coexistence. We must present a united front externally, or we'll sink into deeper troubles."

Family Member 3: "However, external unity doesn't automatically solve our internal issues. Our disagreements are our vulnerability, and we must address this to have a stronger external presence."

Casavell: "I agree to engage in dialogue with the vampire hunters, but we must remain vigilant. We need to be prepared and not reveal our vulnerabilities to them."

Family Member 1: "Dialogue isn't easy. How can we ensure our interests remain unharmed?"

Alex: "We need to send an elite delegation while showcasing our goodwill in human society. Only then can we gain people's understanding."

Casavell: "Simultaneously, we must find ways to stabilize human society's emotions and alleviate their concerns. We don't want the Lost City to descend into chaos."

In the midst of the debate, family members gradually realized the complexity of the issue. While seeking a balance, they had to confront external threats. Elena's rational thinking injected some optimism into the dialogue, but internal divisions remained a challenging problem.

Simultaneously, behind-the-scenes operations by the Special Operations Team became more frequent. Emilia's team continuously fueled human society's distrust of vampires, penetrating the vampire family's social circles to create more internal divisions.

Special Operations Team Member 1: "It seems our actions are having an effect; the tension within the vampire family is escalating."

Special Operations Team Member 2: "We can also create some unexpected events in the vampire family's social gatherings, plunging them into deeper troubles."

In this intricate game of internal and external challenges, the night in the Lost City grew darker. Family members struggled for survival and the idea of coexistence, while the Special Operations Team plotted to further weaken the vampire family's strength.

Casavell: "We can't be passive anymore; we must find a breakthrough. Otherwise, we'll crumble in this endless conflict."

Alex: "We need to unite more closely; otherwise, we'll be shattered from all sides."

Elena: "While battling externally, we mustn't neglect the troubles within the family. We need to find a solution."

Debates and discussions intertwined within and outside the family, and each member felt the weight of destiny. Amid the escalating interference from the Special Operations Team, some internal contradictions within the vampire family became sharper.

On this tense night, a new juncture in destiny was about to unfold, and the Lost City would become the battleground for the family's future.
