I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

Kate Castle, the reception room,

Marquis Sibino of the Kate family tensely watched Lis, his face instantly tensing up.

To be honest, the formidable aura emanating from Lis truly shocked him, being locked in by the strength of the Extraordinary Domain, he felt as if he had no power to resist, unstable.

This was an unavoidable situation; within the Gold Rank, whether or not one could grasp the power of the Extraordinary Domain was the dividing line of strength, also the most important key for future advancement to higher tiers.

Sibino was extremely clear about this, as he had been striving to master the power of the Extraordinary Domain, but ultimately to no avail, standing before the gates of the Extraordinary Domain for many years, he had abandoned the idea when age had caught up with him.

But what was the situation now? He actually felt the power of the Extraordinary Domain from this young man?

How old was he?

Twenty? Twenty-five?

Looking at Lis's youthful face, Sibino was very clear that this could not possibly be some old monster in disguise.

He could keenly feel the vigor and unwavering confidence brimming from Lis.

So young and yet he had already mastered the power of the Extraordinary Domain?

Was he facing a future Legendary Strongman?

Sibino looked at Lis, his expression growing immensely grave.

If his previous behavior stemmed from respect for the Burns family status of Angela, now it was entirely respect for Lis himself.

The strength of this young man before him had already completely surpassed his own. For what matter could he be seeking him out, even bringing along the little Princess of the Burns family?

What was his relation with the Burns family?

"You flatter me, Marquis."

Lis looked at Sibino, smiling as he spoke,

"Indeed, there are some matters for which I've come to seek your assistance in Kate City."

"Please speak, Master Lis!"

Sibino earnestly gazed at Lis, placing him at an even higher status than himself at this moment.

Although he was the master of Marquis Kate's Domain, the power in this world ultimately revered strength.

Powerful individuals deserved respect; this was the most fundamental rule!

And Augustus, who stood behind Lis and Angela, was somewhat taken aback by the sight of his father.

He was unaware of Lis's true power; even with his breakthrough to the Silver Level, he was unable to discern it.

After all, Gold Level powerhouses felt equally oppressive to his senses.

He initially thought that with his father being a Golden-level noble, who had practiced for many years after breaking through the Gold Level, his strength must surely be stronger than Lis's, or at least on par.

But witnessing his father Sibino's respectful—even somewhat reverent—demeanor, he truly recognized Lis's might.

"Are you aware that there is a Golden-level Vampire here in Kate City?"

Lis asked with a light smile on his face, as if discussing a trivial matter.

"A Golden-level Vampire?!"

Upon hearing this, Sibino's expression instantly darkened.

He genuinely did not know this information; if he had, he would have done everything possible to locate and deal with that Golden-level Vampire.

Of course, he had no doubt about the veracity of the information Lis provided. It was clear that his purpose for coming to Kate City was related to this Golden-level Vampire, so it was unlikely he would fabricate anything regarding this matter.

No noble could tolerate having such a dangerous element stealthily lurking within their domain.

But the helpless reality was that as the owner of a domain, few nobles could completely control everything that happened within their territory.

Particularly in important cities, the more people that came and went, the more prosperous it became, and the more underground riffraff it attracted.

Given that such an individual could stealth within Kate City for so long without being detected by the Kate family, it demonstrated their caution. Even if a Lord took action, it would be difficult to apprehend them, with driving them out of the territory being the more likely outcome.

But this was ultimately a temporary solution, not a cure. Those individuals could potentially return after some time.

Of course, the more likely scenario was that the nobles simply could not detect the Dark Creatures and forces lurking in the shadows, as those creatures are the professionals in hiding their tracks.

That's why many Lords have no choice but to turn a blind eye or even collude with these underground forces.

However, Marquis Kate was not such a person; if possible, he would rather exterminate all those lurking in the dark.

"This news is indeed surprising!"

Sibino said in a grave voice, steadying his emotions before looking at Lis.

"Did you come here to capture that Vampire?"

A Golden-level Vampire, although formidable, wouldn't count for much before a powerhouse like Lis who had already mastered the Extraordinary Domain.

"Of course... but it's not just that."

Lis's lips slightly curled up as he spoke seriously,

"To be honest, before coming here, I had already met with the Vampire named Andre."

"What?"

Sibino was suddenly a bit confused; if you've already found that Vampire, then why come to me?

Was he not here to seek my assistance?

Sibino was momentarily at a loss to understand Lis's tactics, only able to silently watch Lis and wait for the rest of his explanation.

"After a 'friendly exchange' with that Vampire, he agreed to do me a favor."

Lis nodded slightly, continuing,

"He is willing to help me contact all the Golden-level Vampires in the Bolin Kingdom and notify them to come to Kate City."
