Chapter 2909

Nathan, Colin, Kraven, and Kerry swiftly left the scene.
As for the security guards and soldiers at the harbor, it took them a long time to finally regain their senses.N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.
Many of them stared at the heavily-damaged Lady Freedom statue before turning their gaze to Max''s corpse beneath it. They whispered softly amongst themselves, "Has Admiral Max... been killed?"
"My God, our God of War has been defeated."
"Now that our Five-star General has been beaten to death, does it herald the end of the world?"
Just as cries of despair rang from the crowd, a towering ck figure suddenly emerged from the darkness.
Dressed in a ssical-looking suit and a pair of ck leather shoes, the figure looked to be around fifty years old and had a handsome, albeit stern- looking face.
The exquisite-looking walking cane in his hand served to entuate the distinguished air he was exuding.
As a result, the crowd was awestruck by his presence.
They stared at him in amazement while wondering which royal family he was a member of.
Even if the Pope himself was there, he would be equally blown away by the man.
After all, the middle-aged man of royal descent was none other than Vince, the vampire duke in charge of Newcove. Previously, the famous vampire viscount, Antonio, had been killed by Nathan, which lead to outrage among the vampires. Moreover, the incident had particrly upset Vince.
Consequently, he ordered all of Newcove''s vampires to kill Nathan in order to defend the dignity of their race.
However, due to thetter''s overwhelming strength, none of them managed to find a decent opportunity to strike.
That night, after learning that Nathan had fallen into Max''s trap, Vince had hidden in the shadows to observe the situation. He had hoped to see with his own eyes how Max annihted Nathan.
Unfortunately, he was disappointed to see Max, a human Five-star General and God of War of Ariarica, overwhelmed by Nathan. On top of that, Max was humiliated by being killed at the foot of the statue of Lady Freedom.
In his shiny ck leather shoes, Vince sauntered up to Max''s corpse.
Lowering his head to look at Max-whose eyes were open even in death-Vince''s lips curled slightly.
He then let out a sarcasticmente
"Max, you were considered one of the most powerful among humans, and yet, you were of no use when it really mattered by getting yourself killed by Nathan."
Vince had barely spoken when he suddenly hesitated. Narrowing his eyes, he dered smugly,
"Nevertheless, you should count your blessings for running into me tonight. As a vampire duke,

bestow upon you the gift of resurrection!"
With that, Vince bent forward and picked Max''s body up.
Meanwhile, the roar of police and army vehicles could be heard in the background.
Subsequently, police officers and soldiers swarmed the scene.
"Who are you? Release Admiral Max and put up your hands. Or else, we''ll shoot!" Mueller, mayor of Newcove, warned at the top of his voice after getting out of the car.
Nevertheless, Vince simply responded with a smirk. Ignoring them, he prepared to leave with Max''s corpse.
His actions instantly infuriated Mueller.
Upon learning about the incident at Lady Freedom Harbor, Mueller-concerned about Max''s safety—had gathered as many men as he could and rushed over.
Upon his arrival, he didn''t expect to be greeted by the devastating scene or to see Max''s lifeless body being taken away by someone.
Faced with Vince''s attitude, the already anxious Mueller blew his top and ordered, "Capture and kill him!"
His assistant ryed the instruction, "Order the snipers to fire."
However, Mueller stopped him at once. "What are you trying to do? Admiral Max is still in his hands, and we have yet to ascertain if he''s still
alive. Will you take responsibility if Admiral Max is shot by mistake?"

Looking at his stunned men, Mueller thundered, “What are you spacing out for? Don''t shoot. Instead, subdue him and rescue Admiral Max!" "Yes, sir!"
Upon his instructions, the elites from the police and army lunged forward at Vince.
