Chapter 784: Unforgivable mistake

Moments ago, after the doctors had taken over and wheeled Iryz into the emergency room, Zeres took the vampire along with him.

But only after asking Alex to stay back at the hospital to wait for Iryz to be out of the emergency room.

He only trusted Alex to watch over the safety of Iryz at the moment.Knowing what Zeres was going to do with the vampire, Alex could only agree to stay.

He would rather let Zeres vent out his anger on that idiotic vampire than have him pace up and down here in the hospital like a caged lion, just waiting to explode and then end up causing a much bigger trouble for them all.A massive trouble was the last thing that Alex wanted to deal with at this point.

As it was, he was already caught up in the mess of both Zeke as well as Zeres.

He just wanted to go home as soon as possible! That was where the love of his life and their precious twins were at!Now the same room where Iryz had been tortured was now reeking with the heavy and metallic scent of fresh blood that was slowly oxidising.

The vampire was currently tied up in the middle of the room.

He was covered with wounds that were all dripping and bleeding out.

The corner of his lips had been cut up all the way up to his ears.

Exactly the same way he had threatened he would do to Iryz earlier."What goes around, comes around, you bastard!" Zeres had viciously whispered to him as the knife he held had sliced slowly and excruciatingly up the sides of the vampire's face."Let's see how you are enjoying being on the receiving end this time."Zeres had really tortured him to the extreme.

And despite the vampire being barely alive, Zeres did not seem to intend to stop the torture.

He was now whipping the vampire, strike after strike, rhythmically, with ice-cold and merciless eyes.Until his phone vibrated inside his pocket.The whip in his hand was then flung to the floor as he picked up the phone to answer the call."Come over here now, Zeres.

She's out of the emergency room and safe." Alex reported the latest updates on Iryz.Zeres's fingers trembled a little as he clutched the phone tightly in his hands.

He felt like someone had pulled out the sword that was stabbed right through his chest.After quietly shoving the phone inside his pocket, he stared at the vampire he had been torturing, approached him and stood right before him.

"Just...

kill...

me..." the man begged."No.

Not yet." Zeres' flat and cold voice seemed to belong to a heartless beast, so opposite from his outward appearance of the silvery angel.

"You will stay like this, tortured, for a bit longer.

Have fun."Then he casted a powerful and cruel spell on him no other witch can undo but silver haired witches.

The spell would double his pain and will stop his vampiric ability to heal his wounds, but it will continue to keep him alive.

Thus, prolonging his suffering which was what Zeres was aiming for.When the man started growling in so much pain, Zeres turned his back.

Two male witches were standing by outside.

They were the ones he had called to come over to him beforehand."Bring him to Reign castle." He ordered.

"Make sure that the King of vampires will see to him personally.""What shall we say to the vampire King?" his two subordinates asked."Nothing.

He'll receive my message once he sees this man." Was all he said before disappearing.Zeres had returned to the hospital just a few minutes after Alex's call despite the fact that he had to quickly drop by somewhere to wash off the blood that had gotten all over him and get changed.

His hair was still dripping from his shower when he emerged from the door."How...

how is she?" he asked, slowly approaching Iryz's bed."She's alright." Alex replied calmly.

"It's a relief that she didn't suffer any broken bones.

I'm not sure how that happened, but that is a miracle."Slowly, Zeres looked at her, his eyes travelling the length of her — from head to toe.

The sight of the wounds all over her face and her uncovered hands made him clench his fists hard."I saw strange red wisps of smoke-like thing appearing over her.

I believe it's magic.

A spell to be exact." Alex continued.

"I think it was trying to speed up the process of her healing.

At this rate, she'd be totally healed much faster than a normal human.

The doctors will surely get suspicious, and we don't want such unsolicited attention.

Not to mention that the magic that is appearing is very much visible.

So I suggest that we transfer her out of here, pronto, my friend.

Maybe bring her to your place for now? I will arrange for a personal doctor to care for her while she is over at your place.""What kind of doctor? A vampire?" Zeres' voice hardened, not liking the idea of another vampire getting close to Iryz.Alex quietly stared at him for a while."You've already read that vampire's mind.

So I'm sure you already know the reason behind all this, Zeres.

The king is desperate and fearful.

He is against Zeke's decision that's why " Alex tried to explain it to Zeres but got cut off."No matter what the reason, the damage has already been done.

Look at her! They hurt an innocent girl, Alexander!" Zeres hissed out, anger blazing clearly in his eyes."Yes.

The king just made one unforgivable mistake and that's why I'm going to meet him myself after this." Alex's usually relaxed and playful gaze became serious.

The one Zeres knew he would only ever wear when preparing to go to war.

"I will assure you I will teach that old man a lesson he would not soon forget.

So leave this to me.

Time is crucial for all of you here.

Don't forget that you have only ten days left for Alicia.

So forget about the vampires for now, I'll deal with them.

Just focus on this girl and the book.

I will make sure no one else will do anything stupid anymore." Alex reassured him..
