With every gaze trained on her, Sailles nonchalantly continued.
"Since they are not able to understand the meaning of the strongest fist reigning supreme, why not throw them in pit fights with the other clans' youths. Only when they realize their weakness and see their incompetence, will they be able to strive to improve themselves."
As her calm and confident voice rang out in the silent clearing, the youths could not help looking skeptically at her.
She did not seem to be much older than them, so why was she acting like she was more experienced and informed than them?
Did she think that she was special just because the Supreme Elder gave her a little bit of attention?
Moreover, she was not even a vampire.
Unbeknownst to them, if Sailles' three lives were combined together, she would at least be three times older than them.
The young vampire giving the speech earlier felt despised and looked down on just for giving speech to inspire his fellow clan mates instead of training.
But since the girl appeared to be a guest of the Supreme Elder, he did not dare to be rude.
"Since you made such a suggestion, then you must have experience in challenging other clans. Why do you not be our first challenge?" He suggested in a gentle tone, appearing friendly and sociable.
"You, be my challenge? Sorry, but I do not fight with kids. Who knows, I might accidentally break you and your vampire parents will be on my back." She replied disdainfully, the scorn on her face undisguisable.
"Just say that you are afraid to fight us if you are. Why make so many excuses?" Some of the watching admirers of the young vampire could not stop themselves from speaking out as their temper erupted.
Hearing the disdain and scorn in Sailles' tone, they lost the reign on their temper.
The extremely outstanding young vampire they highly admired and respected was openly being disgraced, disdained, and looked down on by a girl that was not even part of their clan.
When had an outsider ever criticized the Bloodsucking clan to their face without paying a very price?
When had members of the Bloodsucking clan ever been looked down on?
Seeing that the supreme elder was accompanying her, they did not outrightly provoke her.
However, they silently felt that the girl was just too much!
Luke watched the proceedings with a thoughtful gaze.
He liked the girl's easy-going attitude as she spoke to the youths. Although she looked about the same age as them, the aura she gave off as she stood before them was like that of an elder standing before the younger generation.
He felt both amused and attracted to this other side of her.
If he was not already aware of the fact that she was once human and only recently got reborn, he would have thought that she was an old monster like him.
"Oh, since you guys are so desperate to be under my knees, then I do not mind accommodating you. Let us go right now. If I do not teach you fools a lesson today then I am not Sailles." She purposely used her new name, to show her gradual acceptance of her new situation.
'She called herself Sailles.'
Luke was so ecstatic with happiness as he heard her introduce herself with the name he gave her, that his body trembled uncontrollably.
"Sailles? Okay Sailles, I am Max. I will be the first to challenge you." The young man, Max, lightly said as he stepped forward.
"Where do you want to duel?"
"I am fine with beating you just here. After all, it would be a pity if we abandoned such a good audience for a private duel. Let them see for themselves as well. I do not want them to come rushing to me for confirmation after learning that I effortlessly crushed you."
"Oh, okay. Then good luck." Max skeptically said, not understanding where the girl found the confidence to boast so shamelessly.
Turning on his heels, he to his group, instructing his buddies to make a clearing for them to battle on.
Sailles indifferently watched the vampires clear out in less than two breaths, leaving only her and the brat in the center.
"You can start whenever you want. I do not want others to say that you lost because I started first or that you were not ready yet. So, you start first and be sure that you are ready to start before you do." She loudly cracked her neck and knuckles, looking like a hooligan beast out to beat some poor lesser race out of their mind.
Snarls of displeasure resounded from the spectating crowd, upset at her flippant attitude.
"Go Max!"
"Show her that she should not bully others too unreasonably."
"Yeah. Show her that she should never underestimate others."
"We are counting on you to win us some face."
"Yeah, beat the scorn off her face!"
The plaza instantly transformed into a battling stage as the enthusiastic audience loudly cheered.
In the next moment, the vampire kid unrestrainedly charged at Sailles, intending to end the battle in one move to teach Sailles a good lesson.
Sailles, who was ready for his advance, did not retreat, instead meeting his attack fearlessly with her clenched fist.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
After the third head-on clash of fists, Sailles remained in her spot, not moving even an inch back, while the young vampire was sent flying through the air before heavily crashing to the ground, blood flowing from the side of his mouth.
Silence. The whole plaza immediately fell into a dead silence, before loud gasps of surprise and astonishment rang out one after the other.
"No way! How could Max lose so easily." A young vampire female, a long-time admirer of Max shouted in disbelief, her figure trembling as she tried to come to sense with what she saw.
"That was just a few mere clashes of fists. How could it knock out Max in three hits, that too when the two clashed head-on? At least the both of them should have come to a draw, right?"
"What did I just see? Max was knocked out in three strikes?"
"Yes! That was only three strikes!"
"Is she not even younger than Max? How could she be so powerful?"
More and more exclamations sounded out as the vampires looked at Sailles with strange gazes and gaping mouths before turning to Luke.
The instant they saw his stoic expression, understanding dawned on them.
As expected of a guest of the supreme elder.
Even a little girl he brought along for a stroll was capable enough to defeat Max, who was considered to be one of the outstanding talents of the Bloodsucking clan's younger generation.
Turning to Max, they saw him slowly rise to his feet, his face flushed, his fists clenched, warily looking at the seemingly harmless girl.
