My Vampire Guy

Chapter 48: Eirlys’ True Identity



– What’s going on up ahead? Calantha impatiently stuck her head out the car door and grumbled.

– It seems there was an accident. Samson answered.

All three of them turned around at the same time and looked behind.

Realizing that there were too many cars coming this way and knowing that if Calantha didn’t take them home, she would turn into a nearby alley and run to the main road because her house was not in this direction, so he asked her to drop him and his sister off.

– I don’t have anything to do, it’s okay to wait a bit. I’ll take you two home. Honestly, I also want to know where Lucasta lives. Calantha turned to look at her lovely friend and winked teasingly.

– We’ll invite you to our house another day. You need to get out of here while you still can.

As soon as he finished speaking, he opened the car door and called Lucasta to follow him.

The blonde girl reached out to hug Calantha and said goodbye, then obediently followed her brother.

Looking at Samson holding Lucasta’s hand, carefully leading her through the line of cars parked close together, Calantha felt a little sad.

She also wishes to have a brother like that, unfortunately, she is the eldest daughter.

It seems that Samson’s love for Lucasta is greater than the love of lovers, even husband and wife.

At that dangerous moment, he did not care about his life and rushed after his sister.

– Lucasta, I would trade the entire Workday company in exchange for such a close relationship. You must be obedient and obey him.

The tears that were about to fall quickly shattered on the long slender fingers. Calantha quickly flashed her turn signal and turned into a nearby alley.

Because of the warm feeling that Eric gave her when she had an incident on the road, she got entangled in this tearful love affair.

Just as Samson guessed, there was a traffic accident ahead. The two cars were stuck together, burned to the point that only the car frame remained.

Even though the fire was extinguished by the police, smoke still rose, black and choking.

Lucasta was scared, hiding in her brother’s arms, her arms hugging him tightly and her eyes closed.

Fragments of memories that she had forgotten over the past ten years suddenly appeared in her mind.

This was the first time she saw them while she was still clearly conscious, not in a dream.

Samson’s eyes suddenly flashed with red light as he looked closely at the two cars in front of him.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

What remained helped him realize that the charred corpse was no stranger but the man who pushed Lucasta downstairs.

If he guessed correctly, this was a deliberate accident to cover up clues.

Regardless of whether the man was able to harm Lucasta or not, his outcome was only one word, “death”.

– Samson, please carry me, I don’t dare open my eyes. Lucasta tremblingly suggested.

– Okay.

He gently pushed her away a bit then bent over and carried her on his back, continuing to walk.

The drivers sitting in the car could only sigh and wish they had chosen to walk like that couple just now, then they could have easily escaped this congested road.

Because Michael and Bevis had to jog, when they arrived at the scene, Samson and Lucasta had disappeared from their sight.

A young traffic police officer with a high position approached and quickly reported the situation to Michael.

– Both drivers died, and their identification documents and bodies were burned. I took a photo of the license plate and shared it on the internet, hoping that their relatives would quickly recognize it.

– For now, let’s regulate traffic through the alleys so the crane can come to assist, then contact the technical center and get the video captured by the traffic camera for me.

The traffic police officer nodded and quickly ordered his subordinates to guide the flow of vehicles to nearby alleys.

Because he realized that this accident had criminal signs, he contacted the criminal special police team to get involved.

According to several witnesses, the car in front exploded before the car behind lost control due to sudden braking and crashed into it, causing another terrifying explosion.

While that road was still in chaos, Samson and Lucasta had caught a taxi and were moving home. She still hugged him tightly to feel safe.

It wasn’t until now that she remembered that the moment she stepped onto the balcony, there was a very strong push that made her lose her balance and fall immediately afterward.

– Do you want to eat something more? Samson stroked Lucasta’s hair and asked as he walked into the house with her.

– Yes, I’m hungry.

– Go take a shower to wake yourself up and then come out, I’ll make you fried chicken thighs.

Lucasta nodded and quickly ran into the bathroom. When she returned, the delicious chicken thigh was on the table.

Just now, if he hadn’t quickly grabbed her and held her tight, she wouldn’t still be alive to sit here and eat chicken thighs.

– Thank you, if you hadn’t saved me, I would have died.

– Right.

– It seems like the man in the room pushed me.

– Right. I see that. But because saving you is more important, I didn’t arrest him. Now… he’s dead, we don’t have any more clues.

– What?

– He was the victim of the accident. I recognized him by his half-burnt shoes.

The moment they finished eating and went to bed, the vampire hunters and police also came out to block and check late-moving vehicles.

The road where the accident occurred was also completely deserted as the cars dispersed in all directions and headed home. Only a scorched patch remained, making the road surface ugly.

– Captain, are you not feeling well? If you’re tired, you should go home and rest a bit. You’ve worked so hard these past few days. Bevis spoke up when he saw his boss rubbing his forehead from time to time.

– It’s okay, the whole team is struggling, it’s not just me.

As soon as Michael finished speaking, the phone rang. Seeing the screen displaying the caller’s name as David, he thought his eyes were blurry. He wondered if the old man had been kidnapped again.

– I listen, Mr. David.

– Please go to the western villa of the Anthony family. I have something to tell you, it’s very important.

Late at night, if that million-dollar old man called him there, it must have been something important.

After handing over the task to Bevis, Michael immediately drove to the meeting point and brought only two policemen.

He already had a few crosses sprinkled with holy water in his car, so he wasn’t too worried about vampires.

And if he encountered criminals, he wasn’t even worried because he was very confident in the abilities of himself and his teammates.

After an hour passed, the official vehicle stopped in front of the ancient villa.

The maid with a face like a witch with a pointed nose due to excessive plastic surgery and glaring eyes appeared as soon as the gate opened, making all three guys think they were entering a haunted castle.

Before Michael could introduce himself, she invited him to follow her and told the two remaining people to wait in the living room.

Michael realized that David’s bodyguards were also standing everywhere in the villa grounds.

– Please come in.

The maid pushed the door open just enough for one person to enter and then quickly closed it when the guest had passed.

However, she did not go but stood right outside to guard because she was also one of the bodyguards who had protected David since he was a ten-year-old boy.

Different from the gloom and solitude outside and in the hallways, inside the room, the electricity was brightly lit, making Michael’s eyes a bit dazzled because he was temporarily unable to adapt after going through a dimly lit road.

David was sitting majestically behind a table made of precious wood. When he saw Michael, he slowly approached because he realized that Michael was busy squinting his eyes.

– I’m sorry to bother you at this hour, but I can’t wait any longer.

– Oh, hello, don’t mind, we’re still on duty. Michael quickly replied as soon as he heard the voice.

– Follow me.

David steered the wheelchair to the far end of the room. Michael also followed him and when the door was opened, another room appeared, making Michael squint because there were many paintings inside.

Although Michael doesn’t know much about painting, he can recognize a few famous precious paintings that people can now only admire through old black-and-white images published in newspapers.

– Isn’t that the painting that guy just finished drawing? Michael spoke up when he saw Samson’s work displayed in the center.

– Yes, compared to the old painting, it is much more valuable.

Michael’s eyebrows furrowed because of those confusing words. How could David compare the work of a famous artist who lived more than a hundred years ago with the work of that young man?

Before he could ask, David slowly told him a story related to the female character in the painting. It turned out that the girl’s name was Eirlys, David’s biological aunt.

When the Anthony family fell into financial crisis due to business losses, David’s father, also Eirlys’ brother, arbitrarily married her to another wealthy family to receive support from them.

However, before the wedding, his aunt ran away and disappeared forever even though the two families hired many people to search for her.

– My father carried that regret with him until the day he passed away. Every time he thought about my aunt having to struggle outside, he cried. David gently touched the painting and said.

– I thought the character in the painting was Miss Jenny. They are so similar. Michael confessed.

– Everyone thought it was Jenny if they didn’t know that the painting was painted by the talented artist Drake more than a hundred years ago.

David said as he motioned Michael to come closer and told him to look at the brush strokes of the new painting and the nearly five-hundred-year-old painting “The Girl in the Mirror” created by the famous artist Lionel.

This work has long been lost after the most shocking museum theft in history.

Back then, security was still very poor. Although there are only a few people, there are hundreds of artifacts that must be taken care of. Therefore, thieves have an opportunity.

According to analysis from an experienced painting collector, Michael quickly realized and was extremely surprised to see that the brush strokes of the two paintings were very similar as if they were drawn by the same person.

He could not explain this and did not know how David could own the painting “The Girl in the Mirror”.
