After killing Philip, Qin Haodong put away the Xuan Yuan Sword and said to Khorkina, “You’ll take over the Philip family. Tell all the members of the Blood Race that no one is allowed to hurt Huaxia people, or they’ll end up as Philip did.”

“It’s easy to take over the Philips, master,” Khorkina said. “But it’s very difficult to control them. They have many Grand Dukes there, and I can’t be there all the time.”

“That’s easy. Pick a talented Grand Duke from your family and bring him to me. I’ll help him to improve and be a Prince, and then he can take over the Philip family.”

“That’s great, master!” Khorkina said happily, “I have a daughter named Avril. She is just a thousand years old, but she’s already a Grand Duke. Is she OK?”

“Of course. Bring her to me!”

Khorkina was now his servant, so he didn’t mind helping her be stronger.

“Thank you, master.”

Although the Blood Race had a long life span, their birth rate was quite low, so Khorkina had only one daughter. She was very happy that her daughter would soon become a Prince.

After dealing with the things here, Qin Haodong got in the car with Xi Youmi and Lev. Fabio and all his gunmen were handed over to Khorkina. Their lives rested with this Prince of Vampire.

In the Grand Duke Andrey’s Manor, the awakening of the Holy Virgin Kathryn returned to normal after Qin Haodong left. The Divine Court all got happy and excited.

At this time, the decree of the Divine King was issued, and Zhang Feiyang was officially a member of the Divine Court as the Pontifex Maximus.

As Qin Haodong had guessed, the news that a Huaxia person got the Sacred Six-lights Star spread all over the Western world in an instant.

The Divine Court had always been tolerant towards different races, so the Divine King could not be opposed to the offer, and it was the first time for a Huaxia man to become the Pontifex Maximus.

Though Jankovic was extremely unhappy with this decision, he could do nothing about it. He could not stand out openly to oppose the Divine King.

Alex said to him, “I’ve told you before that you can’t be biased against Huaxia people. The Divine King is tolerant and all humans are his people.”

Jankovic shook his head. “I’m not biased against Huaxia people. I just don’t think Qin Haodong is a good guy.”

“Don’t say that,” said Alex. “Have you forgotten that he just saved the Holy Virgin of our Divine Court? Without him, it would have been extremely difficult for Kathryn to awaken.”

“But I thought that something was wrong. Anthony must have been killed by him. Maybe he is a spy of the Dark Parliament.”

Alex said unhappily, “How is this possible? Do you think that the Dark Parliament’s undercover agent will kill a Pontifex Maximus and then save our Holy Virgin?

“Don’t you know which one is more important to us?”

Right at this moment, the great knight, Hulk, hurriedly walked in. “Miss Alex, something major just happened.”

“What is it?”

“We’ve just received the news that Qin Haodong killed Prince Philip of the Blood Race, as well as his subordinate, the Grand Duke Nemecek,” said Hulk.

Alex asked, “Do you know why?”

Hulk replied, “Nemecek of the Philip family wanted to bite Xi Youmi, Qin Haodong’s friend. So Qin Haodong killed him in anger and told all the vampires in the West that they were not allowed to hurt the Huaxia people.”

Jankovic said, “What a selfish man! He only protects his countrymen.”

Alex shot him a sideways glance. “Do you want him to forbid the Blood Race to feed on all the human beings? Do you think that’s possible?”

“I…”

Jankovic was rendered speechless. It was impossible to stop the vampires from sucking blood. Blood was to them what rice was to humans.

He said discontentedly, “I really don’t know why you always speak up for that guy.”

“I’m just telling the truth. Didn’t you just say that he was a spy of the Blood Race? How could he kill the Prince of the Blood Race if he’s a member of them?”

“I…”

Jankovic became silent, but he hated Qin Haodong more.

Alex said, “Bring some people with you to guard this place. I’m going out for a while.”

Jankovic had a bad feeling. “Where are you going?”

Alex said, “I’m going to visit Doctor Qin. He’s too mysterious. He has many things that we haven’t discovered yet.”

Jankovic said hurriedly, “Alex, have you fallen in love with that guy?”

Alex frowned. “Don’t make it so complicated, OK? I just want to investigate for the sake of the Divine Court. He’s too mysterious for us.

“And I am free. It has nothing to do with you whether I like him or not.”

“Alex, I’m sorry,” Jankovic explained. “I’m just worried about you. I think it’s very dangerous for you to come to him alone. I’ll go with you.”

Alex said unhappily, “Are you spying on me?”

Jankovic hurriedly said, “No, I just want to have a look.”

“But I don’t like you following me.”

“Alex, you’ve just said that we are free, so you have no right to stop me.”

“But who will take care of this place if both of us are off?”

Jankovic said, “Valderrama will stay here. Besides, we will not be far away from here and we’ll come back in a few minutes if something went wrong.”

“Well, you can go with me, but you have to watch your mouth. You’re not allowed to argue or fight with Mr. Qin.”

“Okay.”

Jankovic accepted whatever Alex said in order to go with her. They left the Duke’s house together and rushed to Qin Haodong’s villa.

Back home, Qin Haodong felt that he didn’t have enough at noon. So he prepared many good dishes in the evening. Just as he was about to ask Xi Youmi and Lev for dinner, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Feeling the holy force outside the door, Qin Haodong frowned slightly. He didn’t know why the people of the Divine Court came here at night.

Lev went over to open the door. Alex and Jankovic came in.

Qin Haodong’s face suddenly clouded at the sight of Jankovic. “What are you doing here? Did some Pontifex Maximus of your Divine Court disappear again?”

As the Paladin of the Divine Court, Jankovic had always been arrogant. So he was quite irritated at Qin Haodong’s mockery.

But Alex stared at him coldly and told him to master his temper.

“Mr. Qin, we are here as guests. Don’t you welcome us?” Alex said and sniffed, “What’s so delicious? Did Dr. Qin make delicious food? Can we have a taste?”

Among the people of the Divine Court, Qin Haodong had a good impression of this straightforward Pontifex Maximus. He nodded and said, “Let’s have dinner together.”

Then they went to the dining room and enjoyed the food.

“It smells so good!”

Alex didn’t put on any airs at all. She sat down and wanted to try the braised eggplant.

It was a pity that she didn’t know how to use chopsticks. She tried several times but still failed to eat it.

In the end, Xi Youmi gave them two sets of knives and forks with great care, and she finally put a piece of eggplant into her mouth.

“It’s delicious. I’ve never had such delicious food before!”

Then she cut a piece of pie with her fork and took a bite. “It’s delicious, but the pizza looks strange. Why are the fillings inside? And the fillings look weird.”

Qin Haodong explained, “This is a pie rather than a pizza. And there are Sam Sun stuffings inside.”

“What is it?” Alex asked with curiosity.

“Uh…” Qin Haodong tried to explain, “The stuffings are delicious and fresh. It’s a mixture of eggs, shrimps, and leeks.”

“It doesn’t matter. But it’s very delicious.” While speaking, Alex had already finished eating a small pie, and then she took another one.

She observed the little pie and asked, “It’s really strange. There is no crack in this pie. How did you put the stuffing in?”

“Uh…”

Qin Haodong didn’t know how to deal with this Pontifex Maximus who kept asking questions about the food.

Right at this moment, the door opened, and Khorkina, the Prince of the Blood Race walked in with her daughter, Avril. She was quite surprised to see Jankovic and Alex. Apparently, she didn’t expect that these two members of the Divine Court would have dinner with her master.

Jankovic knew Khorkina. The two of them had just fought in the Grand Duke’s estate last night.

He suddenly stood up and pulled out the Holy Light Cross on his back.

“What are you going to do?”

As soon as he was about to take action, Qin Haodong said coldly, “This is my house and they’re my guests. I don’t care what had happened between the two of you, but you are not allowed to fight here.”

Seeing that Qin Haodong got angry, Alex immediately stopped Jankovic. “Mr. Qin is right. We are guests today, not soldiers. Sit down and have dinner.”

Jankovic shouted, “But they are dark creatures. They’re enemies of our Holy City. As the Paladin of the Divine Court, I must do something.”

Qin Haodong said again, “I don’t care if you are from the Divine Court or the Dark Parliament. You’re all the same to me. As long as you’re here at my house, you will be my guest.

“You can go out to have a fight, but you’re not allowed to do it here.”

“What…”

Jankovic didn’t take his words seriously. But at the thought that this young man had just killed Prince Philip, the strongest man in the Blood Race, he knew that Qin Haodong was extremely powerful and he could not afford to offend him.

At this moment, Alex pulled him back to his chair. “We’re guests. Hurry up and sit down for dinner.”

Jankovic followed her order without saying anything else.

Khorkina sat down next to her daughter. Avril was completely different from her mother. She had long hair and was wearing a long white dress. She looked elegant and quiet.

If they didn’t know her background, they would really think that she was a lady from a noble family. No one would think that she was a Grand Duke of the vampires.

Qin Haodong looked around the dining table and found it funny. It was really a special gathering.

Here were the Pontifex Maximus and the Paladin of the Divine Court, the Wolf King with Golden Hair of the Dark Parliament, and the Prince of Vampire. It would be great if some Dark Wizard could join them.

Right at this moment, a man wrapped in a black robe appeared at the entrance of the manor. It was the Grand Wizard Cesar.
