C1682 Self-overestimation
Although the vampire race did not eat much, but once they reached the level of a prince, they would be able to eat like ordinary people, maintaining the customs of a noble in Europe. This kind of banquet would naturally be prepared with a lot of food and drinks.
From morning until now, he had not eaten. Coincidentally, Isabella Sler also had some matters to discuss with the Night Race people, so he let Zhou Hao go eat first. This was actually a little negligence on Isabella Sler's part.
If Zhou Hao was not that strong, he would not have brought him to this banquet, but because the cooperation between him and Zhou Hao was a secret, and Zhou Hao did not want everyone to know his identity, he wanted to keep a low profile.
The reason why he could be so tyrannical in the Special Ability User's Exchange Meeting was to deter these Special Ability User. In the Night Race family, there was no need to do this.
Just as Zhou Hao was eating, a man and a woman looked at him and frowned. The man could not help but ask: "Sir, I wonder which family you are from, at today's occasion, you aren't here to eat right? It is a bit disrespectful."
Today was a family gathering for the Night Race. Even though the man didn't know who Zhou Hao was, he still thought that he came from some kind of small clan, since there were a lot of people in the Night Race after all, so if a young expert appeared in any family, it might not necessarily be everyone who knew him.
Furthermore, looking at how Zhou Hao was eating, he was definitely not someone that a duke could compare to. Being a Vampire Prince at such a young age, even if his actions were not noble enough, he was still worthy of respect.
The woman beside him had even stronger eyesight than him. When the man opened his mouth, her expression suddenly changed as she asked: "Just who are you, how did you manage to sneak into our Night Race's banquet?" As he spoke, he turned to the man next to him and said, "Taylor, this person isn't a member of our race. He is an ordinary human."
"What?" Taylor's heart trembled. Previously, he had felt that this man did not have any noble demeanor, but now, after careful observation, he realized that Zhou Hao was just an ordinary human. He actually thought that Zhou Hao was an expert at the level of a prince.
Zhou Hao looked at the two of them, and he did not feel disgusted at all. After all, if his own family's banquet was held, and some random person came, he would not be happy. After thinking for a moment, he decided to explain, "I'm sorry, you two, but I'm a friend of your family's Mr. Zuan, but I'm just too hungry so I might as well eat a little."
After the man and woman heard his words, they were shocked at first. Then, they looked at Isabella Sler, who was conversing with a clan member in the distance.
"Sir, although we do not know who you are, but as a human, for you to appear at our Night Race's banquet and even pretend to be our emperor's friend, aren't you going a little too far?" Taylor was a bit more cautious, but his eyes were a bit more vicious.
The woman, however, was not as patient as he was. She snorted coldly and said, "You're just a human, how could you be a friend of our emperor? Tell me honestly, how did you manage to sneak in? What's your motive?"
Zhou Hao's face unconsciously darkened, if only they doubted his identity, they could explain themselves, but they kept their mouths shut about how you humans are, just like how Japanese devils invaded China, and did not do anything to you Chinese.
To some extent, Night Race wasn't considered human, but in the end, they were still a type of human. In Zhou Hao's opinion, they had just become stronger because of a special type of virus, and they didn't seem to be human at all.
"The two of you are both people of Night Race, I don't want to make things difficult for you two. Leave immediately, I'll pretend like nothing happened." Zhou Hao was displeased in his heart, and his tone became rude as well.
They did not expect Zhou Hao to say this, this was a place of Night Race, not only did this human get caught by them and was trying to steal something to eat, he actually dared to threaten the two of them now. Not to mention that there was still the monarch Isabella Sler here, even the two of them here could make this brat, who did not know the heights of heaven, feel regret.
Seeing that they did not have the intention to move, and even wanted to attack, Zhou Hao could not help but let out a sigh: "Don't be too agitated, I've already said it, I'm Isabella Sler's friend."
"Sir, you must know that disaster comes from the mouth. Our Overlord is over there. Your lie will easily be exposed." Taylor pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice.
No matter from what angle Zhou Hao looked at him from, he seemed to be more clear-headed and normal. And even if such a person could not speak the truth, at the very least, he would not be randomly bragging.
Zhou Hao thought for a while, then decided to ask Isabella Sler to explain that he still had to work together with someone from the Night Race, and did not want the relationship between them to be strained.
But before he could open his mouth, the woman had already shouted, "Taylor, are you a coward? This person is obviously a swindler. He's human, not someone from our Night Race."
In their eyes, whether or not the people from Night Race were even more noble or not, even if he did not want to have a falling out with the people from Night Race, he would at least teach them a lesson. Otherwise, they would really look down on him, a human.
Although the two of them were not happy, due to the environment, the two of them did not make any loud noises. Until Zhou Hao got angry, the people at the side thought that the three were just casually chatting.
Although Isabella Sler was not always paying attention to Zhou Hao, at least he would look at him from time to time. He did not think that his family members would be disrespectful to Zhou Hao, and only wanted to introduce him to everyone after Zhou Hao had eaten enough so that they wouldn't offend him.
On this side, Zhou Hao also did not plan to call his Isabella Sler. He believed that since the juniors of their family had offended him, he could definitely teach him a lesson. He did not believe that Isabella Sler would lose his temper because of this.
"You two, today is your family's banquet, I do not wish to ruin it. Leave now, or don't blame me for being impolite." Zhou Hao thought for a bit, and tried his best to suppress his anger. If he was somewhere else, he would have probably slapped them flying with a wave of his hand.
Taylor's face didn't look too good, but he didn't say anything. To be able to attend today's banquet, most of the participants from the Night Race would be dukes or above. Although he didn't know how strong this young man was, since he was so arrogant, he shouldn't be weak.
He had a lot of thoughts, but the woman beside him did not think that way. Since when did such a young man dare to speak to him like that, and did he really think that he was Isabella Sler's guest?
The woman did not speak this time. Relying on her own strength, she took a step forward and raised her hand to slap Zhou Hao's face. The contempt in his eyes made her feel uncomfortable.
No matter what, she was still a Duchess level woman. Although within Night Race, she could not be considered an expert, and was considered superior to others, this brat was simply provoking her strength, and furthermore, Mr. Taylor was a prince of Night Race, so his strength was much stronger.
Originally, Zhou Hao wanted to teach them a lesson so that they would not be so arrogant, but he never thought that this woman would actually be faster than him and already make a move on him. Zhou Hao could not help but laugh.
If he were to immediately take action and teach this woman a lesson, even if Isabella Sler had no objections, the other people from the Night Race might not be convinced, but now that she had taken the initiative to attack him, he could only say that she was courting death, and that even Isabella Sler would not be able to protect her.
Seeing Zhou Hao's smile, Taylor felt an indescribable unease in his heart and could not help but shout, "Anna, don't be rash." As he spoke, he tried to capture the woman named Anna.
A person with Zhou Hao's strength, facing a vampire duke who was the same as himself, simply did not feel any pressure. He did not even have the time to smile at Taylor, although he was a little self-righteous, at least he knew that if he spoke now, he would be able to suppress the urge to teach him a lesson.
When the woman's hand fell on Zhou Hao's face, everyone thought that Zhou Hao would at least be defending or dodging the attack, but they saw that he had no reaction at all. Those who were not aware of the situation, thought that Zhou Hao was stupid.
As soon as everyone's thoughts flashed, they saw that the woman who was about to slap Zhou Hao seemed to have been struck by something hard. Not only did he not hit Zhou Hao's face, he was even bounced up and flew ten metres away, knocking over several wine tables. He did not stop even after landing and continued to roll a few meters outside, almost falling out of the hall.
Everyone was alarmed by such a big commotion as they raised their heads to look at Zhou Hao. The people around him looked at him with fear in their eyes, but before Zhou Hao could even move his hands, the Duchess was sent flying.
Although it looked like he did not have much killing power, he could only think that she was being lenient. If she really wanted to attack, with his strength, it would only be a thought for her to die. There was no fool in the scene, even the Prince of Night Race, Taylor, felt his hair stand on end.
If he wanted to defeat this Duchess Anna, it wouldn't be difficult, but he had to do it himself. How could it be as strange as Zhou Hao, when he didn't even feel any energy fluctuations, Anna was already blown away.
Zhou Hao's strength was not at the level of an ordinary Special Ability User, and there were simply no energy fluctuations at all. How could anyone with Night Race resist an attack that he had used his own internal energy to do, especially one where the gap between them was so obvious?
Although Anna felt that she had met an expert, but since he had not hurt her, he clearly had his own reasons, then she would take revenge on him as much as she could, since Isabella Sler was here.
She thought to herself, just when everyone thought that she would either behave and leave, she suddenly turned into a vampire without caring about the situation. Although she wasn't as powerful as the Vampire Prince, who turned into a giant bat directly, she, as a bat, had already reached the realm of an ordinary Supreme Expert.
With a flutter of her wings, she pounced towards Zhou Hao with a sharp sound. Seeing her iron-clawed hands, no one doubted that as long as her claws made contact with Zhou Hao, she would definitely rip him apart.
Zhou Hao only sneered at Anna's bat transformation, the red wine in his hand did not even move. Previously, when Anna had attacked him, Isabella Sler could say that he did not see it, but now that Anna had caused such a huge commotion, Zhou Hao did not believe that he could watch himself being attacked.
Sure enough, when Anna's body arrived beside Zhou Hao, ready to catch him in love, Isabella Sler suddenly let out a cold snort.
In such a clan, the hierarchy was extremely strict, and high-level vampires could completely rely on their aura to oppress the lower levels. This kind of deterrence effect was extremely obvious, and no matter who it was, as long as one was weaker than Isabella Sler, they would all stop for a short moment.
Anna's body in the air was the same, she had originally planned to attack Zhou Hao, but the pressure of the Vampire Emperor forced her to the ground, making her unable to move, and she quickly turned into an ordinary woman.
Under the deterrence of an Emperor, the stronger the existence, the more obvious the feeling. Anna turning into an ordinary woman would instead reduce the pressure, but she did not understand why Isabella Sler seemed to be extremely angry, and who exactly heated him up, made his the scapegoat.
Just as she was lost in her thoughts and had even planned to send Isabella Sler that ordinary person who dared to enter the banquet, she saw Isabella Sler take large strides and arrive in front of Zhou Hao, saying somewhat embarrassedly: "Mr. Zhou Hao ?"
Don't worry, although your disciples are quite strong, they are unable to hurt me. However, I feel that you should still teach them a lesson, so that they won't act so arrogantly towards you. Especially don't look down on humans, otherwise, they will be in trouble sooner or later. Zhou Hao shot a glance at Anna, and said without a trace of politeness.
Isabella Sler was the number one expert of the Night Race. Although he was not bowing and groveling like Zhou Hao, everyone could tell that he was extremely familiar with Zhou Hao. Furthermore, under certain circumstances, Isabella Sler still had to look at his expression.
The key point was that had already agreed to let him deal with the Light Pope. If he were to offend Zhou Hao because of a member of his clan, then it would be too late for him to cry. All of the preparations he had made before would be wasted.
Now that he heard Zhou Hao say that, Isabella Sler also put down the boulder in his heart. He glared at Taylor and the silly Anna and said: "You all heard what Zhou Hao said, don't be too arrogant in the future."
