Chapter 72

He stood wearily: "If you want to see me for such petty words, let me go! I've already left my job to come to you!"
They were about to leave, but Eric stopped him, holding the tip of his shirt.
Eric: "Brother Irene, I'm thinking of another operation soon."
Erin sighed, hasn't Eric given up yet!? His blindness was strongly from the other world , All those operations and this hospital did him no good..and yet he is still trying!? Even the mighty Phoenix still lost his left eye..
He is just wasting his time with these operations that are of no use except to stay in the hospital more and more..
Irene coldly: "Do whatever you want..."
He walked out of the room and was shocked by the presence of the Phoenix , And worst of all, he holds his son clinging to him.
Erin: "Baby, we're leaving now."
But the child refuses strongly and is attached to Phoenix..
He ignored Phoenix and walked in while Irene sighed, what's up with this kid now?!
Irina smiled: "Leave him Irene and go to work, I'll bring him myself later."
Irene hugged her expressing his thanks and happiness and then walked away..
Phoenix approached Eric while Eric recognized him directly: "Phoenix?"
Phoenix approached and whispered in his ear: "Sir Eric."
Eric was shocked by this , It is true that in the past, Phoenix was nothing but a servant to Eric who had been bound together by the knot that this was the result of his breaking!
Phoenix whispered: "I've got a good piece for you to play with , he's clever and his cries will really please you... I have appointed him as my son's butler and can simply throw him in prison if I want to... I have longed to play with you, sir."
Eric whispered: "I've missed you too, my servant prince."
He raised his hand and Phoenix grabbed it: "I can cross into a world without a name , let me take you there... and find a good cure for you! As you know your illness is due to breaking the contract so it is a disease of that world and its cure is already there..! you want"
Eric: "Really?"
Phoenix whispered hard and cold: "And we'll make up for all those years, Sir Eric.. What did you say?"
Eric whispered: "Take me there."
Phoenix: "I command you, sir."
He was leaning on the windowsill looking out, not knowing where the car was taking him.
He looked at Irene and straightened his seat: "Sir, what is the purpose of this picnic?"
Erin with a smile: "Well I don't know if you're well aware of your surroundings, but you're an important character now okay? You might be in danger in the next few days.. I'll tell you something.. you don't have to trust Phoenix."
Ace: "You might be right."
Erin: "Indeed, I'm absolutely right.. Hear me, I spoke to my teacher about your teaching."
Ace was surprised as Irene continued, "You're special and you ought to be even more special; I've already agreed with him for the amount and your lesson will be for an hour after you finish your work at the Clumsy Phoenix Mansion; you'll spend that hour with him at his house and then back home."
Ace: "Wouldn't that be difficult? I already have.."
Irene interrupted him, "I've already agreed with him on everything; he'll be your tutor."
Ace fell silent as he looked at him in astonishment.. what exactly is going on with the Smith family!?
They arrived at a park and Ace and Eren came down with him; Erin put the shawl that was in the car around Ace's neck.
Ace shyly: "I'm already wearing one."
Erin: "That's more warming for you..."
Ace didn't get hung up and started walking with Eren and having fun here and there; He hasn't been out like that for a long time!
.........
Eric was lying on a wooden bed in an old mansion.
Meaning, in a world without a name.
Phoenix stood before the doctor: "So it can be cured, right?"
Doctor: "Yes, Prince, but..."
Phoenix: "I don't care about the consequences; just cure it... I agree with Eric, right?"
Eric nodded, and the doctor sighed, "Okay, that's going to be painful and take a few hours...bear, human, I've never treated a human before."
Eric calmly: "It's okay..."
Phoenix excitedly: "You heard this?" He lightly hit his shoulder..
Doctor: "That's really reckless... I'll do my best."
Phoenix: "This is better, or else your eyes will go out!"
He said it cheerfully and excitedly and walked out leaving the doctor with Eric while the doctor sighed helplessly when he saw Eric.. How would he do such an operation on a human!?
..........
His eyes widened and his hand on his head: "Missing!? How...! Why!? Oh baby Carl, I've lost you and we're still in trouble!"
Nicholas replied, "It's been fifteen quiet years for you, Smith; Eric's disappearance of course has to do with breaking the seal."
Thomas puts his hands down his throat: "I had to punish Ray for his negligence on the guard; he broke the seal, opened the coffin, and the problems were already coming back..."
Nicholas: "What are your plans; do you..."
He interrupted him: "I'm kicking you out of here; I can't stand talking to you any longer!"
Nicholas coldly turned toward the door: "Ace has become my student; the special child who broke the seal carrying the force of the Riqnett is already!! I'll tell you from now on... We won't involve new people in Smith's endless maelstrom... He may be the cause of this mess because he opened the coffin but... ... I won't let you do it as you wish..."
He left silently back home.
..........
He was in front of the fireplace and the quilt was around him as he contemplated a yellow note in his hands...
He turned a new page while reading quietly while Shawn silently watched him..
are still in this world; Falcon did not tell them about Ace, and the atmosphere did not calm down to return to the search.. Also, Alvin's health had not improved yet...
Alvin quietly: "It's touching but I can't remember"
"I'm supposed to remember if it's mine, as Val claims..." he said, turning a new page on this note.
He extended the note to Shawn and put his head on his knees: "Read to me, I'm tired."
Shawn approached and took the note from him... Meanwhile, Falcon came to tell them that Ace had returned to the human world.
And now the three of them are getting ready to come back..
.............
He heard his cold voice whisper in his ear: "Your work is not perfect."
Tris was startled, and turned quickly to him: "S.., sir! You scared me!"
Falcon straightened and pulled his hair back: "Little human, did I smell fear of you?"
He hesitated as Falcon approached him: "You saw that right?"
Tris hesitantly: "What...what?"
Falcon grabbed Triss' chin and raised his head to reveal his neck; His eyes turned red and he muttered murderously, "You know what I mean?"
They heard a voice from the door of the room arranged by Triss: "Sir?"
Falcon walked away silently and turned to see Alford behind him.
Falcon coldly: "Oh, I almost forgot our agreement..."
He approached Alford while Tris ran and stood before Alford: "You've got to eat the most delicious food! You don't have to leave him to go for another!"
Triss said so insistently and seriously that Falcone and Alford were surprised by him..
Falcon smiled lightly: "You admire me, little one; although you are afraid, you have stood bravely."
Alford: "Triss, do not interfere; you will not be able to endure with that body of yours.. Do not be afraid, for you have lived among us and you know what kind of people are the servants of Mr. Falcone."
Tris looked distressed and then surprised when Falcone stood beside Alford for a blink of an eye, biting his shoulder.
Tris mumbles, "Why...??? Who am I really to you, Alford?"
He curled himself up and covered his face helplessly; He definitely doesn't know what to do.
His phone rang, but he just ignored it. He didn't even see the caller, who was none other than Carl Alert.
..........
Lottie stretched her arms across the table in boredom: "This is Tris, a passive member of the team."
Carl turns off his phone and puts it down: "Maybe he's busy with those he's living with, the guards of the forbidden mansion.. I wonder if they plan to return Alvin to the coffin?"
He looked at the silent Rex while Lottie protested, "The twins that my parents didn't tell me about; I wouldn't mind them leaving like this again."
Rex finally said, "Here comes Ace and Alvin!!"
They walked in and Lottie blew up at Alvin Said and hugged him, "Welcome to Team Phoenix Smith's home!"
Carl Alert: "So how are you now, as...I mean, Alvin?"
Alvin was silent for a moment, his hand on his head in confusion: "You who helped my master free me from the coffin?"
Lottie dragged him and seated him beside her, glad he was there: "Yes; it was at the direction of Mr. Phoenix Smith."
Rex: "Ace is enough; why did you call him my master?"
Alvin was silent for a moment before saying, "It's my master..."
Ace: "So our job is..."
The four looked at him.
Rex: "Alvin's memory revived...so help us Alvin; what's the last thing you remember...?"
Silence Alvin; They waited for him to talk, but he surprised them by saying: "I am thirsty..."
Silence pervaded the headquarters, while Ace silently extended his hand.
Lottie: "Wait, wait!!"
Ace and Alvin looked at her in amazement.
Carl walked over and grabbed Alvin's palm: "Drink my blood!"
Lottie drags Carl: "That's what I wanted to say!!"
Ace and Alvin were surprised.
Rex tilted his head: "Let the two idiots fight and you can take me."
What is this strange group!? Are they even normal!?
Lottie points at him with spontaneous anger: "That's not fair, Rex!"
Carl: "I'm the one who dreamed of vampires and their erotic stories!"
Rex bored: "Oh, Arles..."
Ace scratched his head while Alvin put his hand on his chest, and Ace understood that he might be thirsty now.
The three ignored and silently bit Ace's arm.
Lottie: "Well... your sister can be next so Ace doesn't get tired, okay?"
Ace was surprised, was this for him!? Or is it fancy??
Alvin turned away and looked at Lottie, who had already reached out and bit her silently.
Carl wearily: "A vampire drinks from the neck. What's wrong with this vampire!?"
Rex put his hand to his forehead in a tricky way while Alvin suddenly pounced on Carl's neck, surprising him..
Carl whispered in his ear, "You can always swear to drink rather than just spill one of us's blood;
Alvin walked away quietly, staring at Carl in silence while the other smiled lightly at him.
Alvin stood up and put his hand dizzy as he looked at Rex..
Rex stood up and approached him: "You're still thirsty, and you look tired..."
He placed his hand on Alvin's forehead while the other bit his neck, seconds until he tightened his bite and Rex returned one of his feet to balance.
Carl grabbed his bite while Rex closed his eyes to resist him.
Carl anxiously trying to hide it: "Be nice Alvin"
But the other tightened his bite even more until Ace said, "Stop!!"
Alvin walked back coldly as Rex fell to his knees and grabbed his neck and Lottie blew towards him.
Lotte worried: "Are you alright, Commander!?"
Ace: "What happened Alvin!?"
Alvin calmly: "It's just... a new type of blood... a mixed blood..."
He wiped his mouth with his sleeve and continued, "Sorry, I didn't pay attention to myself."
He extended one hand to Rex while the other raised his head, saying, "You didn't answer me.. what do you remember..?!"
Alvin was surprised but answered calmly: "It's been dark for a long time... very..."
Carl: "Tell us... about that darkness..."
