Hello Brothers: The Prince of Twins
Chapter 144 The Bond of Hatred

With a serious face Alabama poured a black liquid into a vial filled with blood, slowly and carefully until the entire liquid was exhausted.

At first nothing changed, but the longer the liquid churned like boiling over hot coals.

Spewing out a thick black liquid, it made Alabama a little worried. But after a while the liquid turned green, then the work was done.

He poured the green liquid into several bottles with smaller sizes, when everything was finished then he was ready to tell Reinner.

"The effect does not last long, only about two hours because it is used at a more critical time" said Alabama.

"I understand" Reinner said.

He put all the small bottles in one container and carried them up, gathering everyone who would be involved in this mission.

"What about all the evidence?" ask Reinner.

"Everything is ready, we just have to wait for confirmation from Tianna" replied Jhon.

"That's great, I'll explain the details of the plan one more time" he said.

Everyone listens well, understands it so that no mistakes can happen. Several proposals and questions were present, exchanging ideas that made the meeting last long enough.

It was already dark when the meeting ended, Chad and Agler said goodbye to go home while the others stayed.

"Hey Chad! can I hitchhike? I want to see Alisya for a moment"

"Of course" Chad said as he opened the car door.

Agler immediately ran to the other side, sitting quietly while Chad drove beside him.

"Did I know about this?" ask Agler to start a conversation.

"You mean?"

"Pad's plan"

"Oh, not specifically. You know he'd be reckless if he found out"

"What about Alisha?"

"You're her boyfriend." Chad said with a slight smile.

"But you're his cousin" replied Agler.

"And Ima is your sister" Chad said, making them smile.

"Yes, you're right. Since childhood we were very close, he always told me everything but when you were present in his life suddenly we lost the topic" Agler said in a tone of accusation.

"You became my cousin's magnet, I can still remember how Alisya sulked in her room all day just because you dumped her. Please don't do that again, he has no one in the world" Chad said.

Agler was speechless, quite guilty but the rice had become porridge.

"Alisya just an ordinary human, a monster like me is not good for him" Agler said slowly.

"But you suffer without it too."

A truth Chad spoke contained a lot of onions, Agler couldn't hold back his feelings until they got home.

Alisya who was still awake welcomed their arrival happily, letting Chad rest Alisya invited him to another room.

"What?" alisya asked because Agler had not given up his eyes.

"You are so beautiful" replied Agler quietly who made Alisya smile.

"Another lesson from Ima? not too bad" he joked.

They chuckled but shortly afterwards Alisya displayed a serious face that was accompanied by a curious expression.

"You remember you still have a lot of debt to me?" tanyakanya.

Agler was silent, clearly he remembered what Alisya meant.

"Ask your question" he said.

"I don't care who you really are or where you're from, but tell me things about you"

"Like the way we drink blood?" agler asked more specifically and was followed by a nod by Alisya.

"Before that you should know that me, Chad, Ima, my real father and my adoptive father we are all of mixed blood. We are different from the original vampire, this is because the genes in our body are not 100% vampire blood"

"How did that happen?"

"My mother was a noble vampire while my father was a witch who turned into a vampire, my essence was mud"

"OK, then?"

"We don't have to drink human blood, we can also drink animal blood just for mud and real vampires there's a difference"

"What's that?" alisya asked increasingly curious.

"I can survive without human blood for more than a month, but real vampires don't"

"Why?"

"Human blood is our staple food, when we stop drinking human blood what initially happens is the weakening of all senses and physicality. The feeling of thirst will torment the esophagus to cause hallucinations and out of control, in the end it will turn us into real monsters that do not make sense" explained Agler.

It reminded Alisya of the night that she saw Agler lose control of her, the moments that she remained in shock until she ended up with a loss of memory.

"Listen to Alisya, you know I love you but I think it seems like our relationship is unlikely to last" Agler said.

"What do you mean?"

"Maybe you accept me for who I am, but if we continue together where will we take this relationship?"

"Do you doubt me or what?" ask Alisya offended.

"No, of course not. I just. I want to marry you" said Agler who made Alisya speechless.

"After Joyi was found out I was planning to propose to you, I wanted to spend the rest of my time with just you" he continued slowly.

Speechless Alisya could only express her happiness through clear tears, falling down on Agler's back as he hugged her.

"You want to marry me?" whispered Agler.

"Well, sure" Alisya replied as she nodded her head.

Tianna was used to serving food to humans, even he could provide food according to the needs of humans themselves. This was the reason for Joyi's rapid recovery, aside from the Tianna potion that had been used up in his body.

"I'm sure it's not difficult for you to walk, we have to leave this place immediately" Yulia said.

"Where are we going?"

"New headquarters, it's closer than the palace" he said.

Tianna nodded his head, immediately helping Joyi to prepare to upgrade the place. There were no personal items that could be brought so they could leave the place quickly.

Tianna nodded again, walking with Joyi and Clarkson while Yulia went into the house.

"Is anyone missing?" ask Tianna.

"Nothing, Yulia's just cleaning up our smell. He's the best at removing the tracks, I admire his talent enough but you're certainly much better than him" Clarkson said.

"I'm no better than him, unless we have the same talent"

"You can learn it, it's a talent he's got from learning so if you really mean it then you can go beyond it"

"really? what about you? what do you expect from me?" ask Tianna.

"If you have a talent like her, maybe I'll include you on my list of future empresses" she said.

Tianna was happy to hear it, Clarkson was obviously attracted to him more than a body mate so that the remark could be interpreted as a promise.

After taking almost an entire night they finally arrived at the new headquarters, if only they went both of them would have been faster to arrive.

"Let's go in" Clarkson asked.

While memapah Joyi who almost exhausted Tianna followed Clarkson's steps, they entered into an old building that looks like a place of worship.

There were two scents that Tianna smelled upon entering the place, one the smell of a human and another the smell of an elder he already recognized.

"Why are you guys so long?" ask a voice from behind the darkness.

Indra Tianna immediately actively watched, staring at the source of the voice until a figure displayed his form.

"Joyi"

"Ballard.. Why am I not surprised?" tianna asked looking at the great elder.

"I've heard from Yulia that you chose to join us, at first I was quite doubtful of you but after seeing Joyi I was sure you would be very useful" he said.

"I lived long enough with Alabama, you could say I'm not a regular student"

"Good, then please deliver Joyi to her friend. I'm sure he can't wait to reminisce" he said as he looked into Joyi's empty eyes.

Tianna was a bit confused by the remark but he did not want to care, precisely what he noticed was the attitude of Joyi who seemed to not recognize Ballard. From there he could deduce that Joyi was really in one secluded place, leaving her body out of nowhere.

"I understand" he said, who then took Joyi to another place after receiving a key from Ballard.

They walked to the other side of the room until they found a door with a large padlock attached to it, and he opened it with a Ballard-given key.

As soon as the door was finished he opened it was revealed where the smell of the other man, in the room that contained two beds one of which was occupied by Jessa.

"Let's go in" Tianna asked Joyi.

Although Joyi's body refused but Tianna still pulled his hand to enter, he slowly guided her to sit on the other bed.

The sound of their steps, which though not tight, apparently remained noisy until they woke Jessa, when they saw their first reaction, Jessa was certainly surprised.

"Joy?" tanyanya.

But Joyi instead shuffled and took refuge behind Tianna, as if afraid of facing Jessa.

"W-what's going on?" tanya is getting confused.

"He was sick, something bad happened until his mental health was compromised" Tianna replied.

"What's? how come?"

"What about you?" tianna asked unconcernedly about the question.

"Ballard kidnapped me, I don't know what he was up to, but as I remembered it when I realized he brought me here" he replied.

"Alright, for a while please take good care of him" Tianna said.

He was about to leave Joyi and return to Clarkson but before he could lock the door Ballard came.

"Let it go, I'll talk to them" he said.

"Alright" Tianna said, releasing the padlock.

From the smile that Ballard was displaying clearly he was enjoying it, that smile was what kept Tianna there to eavesdrop.

"You awake?" hello Ballard entered the room.

"Ballard, what do you want from us?" jessa asked without any hesitation in her eyes.

Compared to the upside with Joyi who increasingly hid himself behind the blanket, seeing it made Ballard's heart happy and laughed.

"Would I tell you a story?" tanyakanya.

Jessa stared warily, but she also widened her ears to listen.

"The vampire is the most sacred being, we uphold the law and should not have people like you entering our territory" he said.

The story is quite long, but in essence all of this has to do with the nature of vampires. As one of the great elders Ballard strictly forbade the mixing of mud blood in the palace, that was the first time he opposed the Queen for allowing Jhon to occupy a position in the palace.

The hatred that continues to gnaw from the inside to make him decide to be on the side of Viktoria, he agreed on the matchmaking of his daughter because he had dreamed of becoming the clan leader with a foothold behind the scenes.

But everything goes wrong with the plan, Reinner becomes King without heeding anyone. This is what made him so hateful that he chose to ally himself with Clarkson, supporting his desire to become a King by slandering his own son-in-law.

"I want one of my grandchildren to be King, so my original plan can be realized. But neither Chad nor Agler are they really interested so there is no way but to destroy it" Ballard said.

"You're really vile, your own blood you're hurting" Jessa said.

"What's the point of defective goods?" ballard's reply without guilt.

During this time Ballard does act as if he loves Chad, trying to protect him from Jack but what really happens is he pays some witches to provoke them.

Including the perpetrator of the Ima shooting is his best plan to destroy the family, he accidentally put someone to watch over the Hermes residence.

And when there's a chance that person will shoot anyone because in the end everything is the same, after successfully shooting Ima of course the perpetrator ran away to look like Shigima was protecting him.

Acting like a hero he brought the man back to be punished after previously being threatened to lie, as he had done before. Although this time he was a bit annoyed at the generous Ima, in the end it all ended quite well.

"I don't understand, why should you provoke us? didn't you get a replacement to be king?" ask Jessa.

"It's all because of him" Ballard replied as he pointed to Joyi.

"I gave my daughter and granddaughter for her to take care of and raise, once ready I will take her to the palace as King. But he's using Chad for his own sake, so there's no other way but to destroy the Hermes family and everyone involved in it" he said.

Jessa was silent, indeed a rope of hatred was too messy to straighten one by one.

He can no longer think how to live peacefully without revenge, every heart now has a spite that is too strong to be overcome.

But Ballard's explanation to date has opened up some strange questions, at least in some absurd cases there is a mastermind that has been revealed.

This makes Jessa remember the incident in the hills, where she was accused of stabbing Joyi.

"Ballard..is it possible?" tanyakanya.
