Chapter 543 Taking Control Of Ocantine


    However, Jonathan was faster.


    The power of Level Three Immortal enabled Jonathan to realize all the ambitions of his physical


    actions.


    In other words, Jonathan''s strength allowed his body to perform any action and speed.


    Level Eight of the Immortal Stage was a terrifying stage, especially the power of vampires. At that level,


    be it in terms of the physical body or strength, they were unparalleled.


    However, power was just like technology.


    Once technological advancement reached a certain level, it would teau at that stage.


    For instance, it would be hard for smartphones to make any significant breakthroughs at this point in


    time. Thus, the difference between Jonathan and Ocantine was like the difference between a high-end


    Samsung phone and an iPhone.


    There might be subtle differences, but when a fight breaks out, it would be hard to determine the


    winner in a short time.


    However, one thing was certain. If Jonathan were to engage in a prolonged battle with Ocantine,


    without a doubt, the former would be defeated.


    At that very moment, Ocantine wielded Soulforge Dagger as if it was possessed by magical forces,


    making it impossible for anyone to get close. The Soulforge Dagger zipped toward Jonathan''s back,


    which Jonathan had anticipated. He took a step toward Ocantine''s back and immediately dodged this


    lethal strike.


    With his strike missing its mark, Ocantine immediately spun his body around.


    The de swirled around him, charging toward Jonathan''s chest like a bolt of lightning.


    Jonathan had finally realized how troublesome Ocantine was, but this time, he refused to back down.


    The continuous changes had left Ocantine''s weapon looking less powerful than before. Suddenly,


    Jonathan shot his hand out, like a long-hidden venomous snake finally seizing the opportunity to fight


    for life and death.


    In that instant, Jonathan''s hand firmly grasped the de of the Soulforge Dagger held by Ocantine.


    “You''re asking for it!” Ocantine''s eyes shed with a fierce light as he violently spun his de.


    Jonathan''s fingers made a swift move, followed by a sudden burst.


    The unrivaled Soulforge Dagger was chipped. The outburst from thebination of their powers was


    too powerful.


    Jonathan crushed the fragment in his hand, then swiftly retreated.


    “Damn it!” Ocantine roared in fury. After all, Soulforge Dagger was an extension of his own flesh and


    blood. And now, with a part of the de damaged, the integrity of its entire material waspromised.


    The Soulforge Dagger was essentially ruined. It was only normal for him to be enraged.


    Ocantine charged toward Jonathan like a bolt of lightning.


    With a coldugh, Jonathan let out a shockwave from his hand. The fragment shot toward Ocantine''s


    throat like a thunderbolt.


    Ocantine instinctively turned his head, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow. Meanwhile, Jonathan, with the


    agility of an antelope, swiftly moved to Ocantine''s left side.

    Without a second thought, Ocantine once again swung his Soulforge Dagger toward Jonathan''s back.


    This time, Jonathan directly spiraled down into a squat, fiercely kicking out one leg.


    It was a simple foot sweep, yet it had the power of total annihtion.


    Ocantine was slightly taken aback. He had finally experienced the cunning and formidable tactics of the


    young man.


    Just then, Beatrix was the first to enter and reunited with Jonathan.


    Without uttering a word, Beatrix immediately summoned Imperial Wind Sword.


    With a tap on Imperial Wind Sword, a sh of golden light aimed straight for Ocantine''s throat.


    Beatrix''s Imperial Wind Sword might not be overwhelmingly powerful, but whenbined with


    Jonathan''s strategies, it bes an unpredictable force to reckon with.


    As Ocantine retreated in disarray, Beatrix withdrew her Imperial Wind Sword.


    Jonathan did not continue the pursuit.


    Meanwhile, Aurora, Walrion, and Mabel also came in.


    The followers of Ocantine also wanted to enter, but they were all blocked at the door.


    “Prince Ocantine, let''s have a chat,” Jonathan said, gazing at Ocantine.


    Ocantine sensed something was amiss when he saw Aurora and Walrion. He was in a dangerous


    situation now that he was trapped in the room.


    Ocantine is a genius. At that moment, he said to his subordinates, “Step back, all of you.”


    Those subordinates could not help but hesitate.


    Jonathan said, “Prince Ocantine, I don''t want today''s events to get out. You need to quickly get


    someone to clean up outside and then order them not to leak any information. You should know, we are


    now fugitives. If you leave us with no way out, you''re also cutting off your own escape.”


    Ocantine studied Jonathan, then turned to his subordinates, particrly his trusted general Benjoaquin,


    and said, “Ben, do as he says. Quickly restore the outside to its original state. Also, give your men strict


    orders to not leak a word about this matter.”


    Benjamin''s eyes held aplex expression. After a moment of silence, he said, “Yes, Your Highness.”


    Then, he left with his subordinates to carry out their duties.


    Walrion turned to Ocantine and said with a cold voice, “Your Highness, I believe you already know who


    stands before you. As a prince of the vampires, shouldn''t you be greeting His Majesty with respect?”


    Ocantine nced warily at Jonathan. He had seen Jonathan''s photo before. However, the man in the


    photo was quite different from the menacing Jonathan he encountered today, so the former did not


    recognize him immediately.


    Regardless, Ocantine was sure of Jonathan''s identity in the next second.


    Ocantine hesitated for a moment, then he knelt on one knee before Jonathan, saying, “Greetings, Your


    Majesty.”


    Jonathan said casually, “You may rise.”


    Only then did Ocantine stand.


    Meanwhile, the blonde girl hiding under the bed emerged, trembling with extreme fear.


    Jonathan''s gazended on the blonde woman. She looked incredibly enticing dressed only in a


    bathrobe.


    Of course, Jonathan was not thinking about women at that moment, but whether or not to silence


    someone by killing them.


    Given the gravity of the situation at hand, Jonathan did not want any minor mishaps to ur.


    A cold glint shed in Ocantine''s eyes. Suddenly, he turned around and with one swift stroke of his


    sword, he sent the blonde girl''s head flying.


    Suddenly, blood sttered everywhere.


    Everyone present was ustomed to life and death, so they were not frightened by the sight of the


    blonde woman''s corpse. However, Jonathan slightly furrowed his brows, and said in a calm tone,


    “Prince Ocantine, you truly are nonchnt. We have a saying in Chanaea: the bond formed between a


    couple during intimacy extends far beyond that single night. You really are ruthless.”


    Taken aback, Ocantine said, “I thought that was Your Majesty''s intention.”


    Jonathan spoke calmly, “That''s right, I indeed had the intention to kill her. However, I haven''t said


    anything yet, and even if I did, you could still plead for her. As long as you can promise me that she


    won''t reveal our secrets, I don''t necessarily have to insist on killing her.”


    Ocantine immediately lowered his head in shame.


    Of course, whether Ocantine truly felt ashamed from the heart was indeed worth pondering.


    Nheless, none of that mattered; Jonathan did not care either.


    Jonathan frowned and said, “Let''s talk somewhere else.” He paused, then continued, “Prince Ocantine,


    I''m not entirely confident in your loyalty. So, I''m giving you two options now. The first is to be killed by


    me right here. I assume you wouldn''t prefer that. The second option is for us to inject a virus into your


    body. This virus is a new development in our country, and you''ll need to get a vine every year to


    survive. No matter how advanced your skills are, you won''t be able to get rid of this virus.”


    Ocantine''s face changed instantly. He spoke in a deep voice. “Your Majesty, I am willing to serve you


    loyally, but can we avoid the injection of the virus?”


    “If you are truly loyal to me, it makes no difference whether you get the virus injection or not. On the


    contrary, if you''re unwilling, it means you doubt me. If someone like you doubts me, you''re essentially a


    ticking time bomb by my side. So, you only have two paths to choose from—either die or get the virus


    injection. Think it over carefully,” said Jonathan.


    Ocantine had a conflicted gaze. After a long while, his face rxed, and he said, “I''ll follow Your


    Majesty''s arrangements.”


    Jonathan said, “All right then.” As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly pulled out a syringe and a


    vial of medicine from his bag.


    Next, he drew the clear medicine into the syringe, then approached Ocantine.


    Ocantine nced at Jonathan, his forehead suddenly drenched in sweat.


    Jonathan said calmly, “Prince Ocantine, I know what you''re thinking. You assumed I would send


    someone else to inject you, and then you could seize the opportunity to take a hostage and escape.


    What you didn''t expect was that I would personally administer the injection. So now, you''re hesitating,


    aren''t you?”


    Jonathan had seen through Ocantine''s thoughts. He quickly said, “I would never dare to harbor any


    intentions of that sort to disrespect you.”


    Jonathan smiled and said, “This virus is called Virus Neen. It''s colorless and tasteless. Once


    injected into your body, you won''t feel a thing.” He paused, then added, “Of course, it''s also possible


    that this is just tap water and that I''m only trying to scare you. If you''re brave enough, you can choose


    not to believe me.”


    After he finished speaking, he injected the medication into Ocantine''s arm.


    With that, Jonathan then said, “Let''s talk somewhere else.”


    After all, a person died there. It made the atmosphere of the conversation extremely unpleasant.


    Subsequently, everyone left the bedroom. They then proceeded to Ocantine''s secret underground


    room for a discussion.


    At that moment, Ocantine was showing utmost respect to Jonathan.


    When Jonathan and his group took their seats, Ocantine received permission to sit from Jonathan.


    Jonathan spoke in a deep voice. “Prince Ocantine, do you know what''s the current situation at Anakin''s


    side?”


    Ocantine immediately responded, “Anakin ascended to the throne as the new King immediately after


    the coup two months ago. He publicly dered that you, Your Majesty, had bewitched our revered


    ancestor and Prince Solorel. He called you a traitor.”


    Jonathan was not surprised at all. He said, “It''s a very crude trick that won''t stand up to scrutiny. But


    since he''s in power, no one will dare to challenge the truth behind his announcement.”


    Afterward, Jonathan said, “Please continue.”


    Ocantine said, “Anakin is still sending people everywhere to inquire about your whereabouts, and the


    Four Marquises have already pledged their loyalty to him. Moreover, Anakin has sessfully won over


    several dukes, and he manages the remaining viscounts strictly. His methods are very effective. Now,


    all the vampires in the whole of Eastsummer are loyal to him.” He paused for a moment, then


    continued, “He has also seized your Protector Tower and Protector Condominium and made them his


    private property.”
