The next evening, Twin Bridges Town.
The blood-red sun of the Plains of the Abyss had just sunk below the horizon, but the arrival of night seemed to have no effect on the town.
At least, it didn't affect the Southeast District where Hagrid Manor was located.
Lancelot's neighbors were all reclusive members of the Blood Race. In most realms of mortals, this race was associated with words like evil, crime, fallen, and concealment, but not in Twin Bridges Town. They never hunted within the town, paid their taxes to Tijana on time, and were keen to invest in business activities, essentially model citizens in terms of law-abiding behavior.
But that was just on the surface, because little Issa was one of the victims of the Blood Race. Fortunately, Earl Barlow of Hagrid Manor, the previous owner, had died; otherwise, this poor girl would have been enslaved forever by her killer as a vampire derivative.
