Chapter 404 Matthew Dietrich and Gray Allen, face to face (3)
If it weren't for Gray's self-control, several things might have flown around the room.
But he was able to control himself and study what Matt was saying.
'Alice fought with her... I see, that's why she told me she had fought with a scary woman. How the hell did she fight with that strange woman? Even that Edevane woman was recently injured by her and had to spend some time healing.' Gray couldn't understand this, but his expressions, despite trying to hide them, were very obvious to Matt.
Since learning of Gray's plan, he raised all his defenses to the highest and used all his ability to talk to and look at this man. Any information is precious when you're facing possible death, after all. And while he wasn't entirely worried, it was still wise to do things carefully.
After all, in a head-on battle, at this point, Matt would lose miserably to Gray.
Gray then looked up and looked at him. "If what you say is true, what skill does Charlotte Adams use? Her ability makes no sense and I have never been able to understand it. It's enough for you to tell me its name or what it does; if you can't tell me that, I can't believe your words."
Matt sighed. "Well, I assume you're referring to her crowd-control ability. I can't tell you much about that; I can only tell you that it is a supreme and unique ability; she uses it strategically." Matt replied.
"Strategic? Is she a strategist?" asked Gray, and Matt nodded.
"There are no strategists who can stand above her. Even I learned from her." Matt said truthfully.
Gray frowned. 'A strategist...' Though he tried to think about it, he didn't know too much about Charlotte Adams.
They had only met once before. A human walking in the vampiric territories and near his Clan shocked him, but even he couldn't catch her at the time. It was then that he realized that there was a monster among humans, but since then, all he knew about her was pure research.
That's why he couldn't think much about it.
"So, let's say I believe you. How did a human and a vampire get married? That doesn't make much sense," Gray said.
"Well, we were married a long time ago, so it's hard to say, but we've always been spouses, and we won't stop being spouses," Matt replied.
He and Charlotte had over 35 years together, so to say it was a long time ago that they were married, was not a mistake.
But Gray understood it differently. 'A long time? Does he mean the ancient era? Are there two people who came from the ancient era to this era? What the hell is going on in the world?' He couldn't understand it, but that was the only thing he could come up with.
The information he was getting seemed to be a made-up lie in this world's fantasy. Other people would call it a fallacy, but Gray's perception told him it wasn't.
'There's still the option of asking Alice, but this guy doesn't seem to be lying.' Gray thought.
Seeing that he was a little doubtful, Matt spoke up again.
"I can't tell you that I will protect the vampire race or this kingdom. Honestly, I don't plan to ever again protect someone who might betray me. I hate betrayals to the point that I want to exterminate numerous beings solely because of a betrayal. But I can assure you that, as long as I am around, no one will be able to touch Alice.
I am not afraid to tell you, Gray Allen, that, as you have suspected, I am a member of Clan Dietrich from the past, and I can tell you something else: neither I nor Charlotte know how we got here. But here we are."
"We are not moralists, nor are we looking out for a race. We are only going to look out for our own and kill our enemies. My stance on the vampire race remains the same. They are not worthy of my protection, but as long as those who oppose the race are within my path, then I will indirectly end up protecting them, so you can keep that thought.
And you should know, killing me is not as easy as you think." Matt answered sincerely.
Gray listened to him patiently and nodded a little at the end of his words.
"A Dietrich married to my little girl would be something to see. How about it? The other reason I called you here is to ask you if you agree to get engaged to Alice. She already told me everything, don't worry, I was supporting you before and was planning an engagement between you two when I found out who you were, so what do you say?" Gray asked. His words reflected that he believed Matt.
Maybe he saw something with his ability, or maybe he was already sure of it from before and was simply testing Matt, but what was certain was that his proposal reflected confidence.
That made Matt smile a little. "Despite knowing I'm already married, I'm surprised you still bring that up." Matt replied, and Gray smiled.
"I have researched again and again, trying to understand in-depth vampires' different paths to becoming stronger. So much research has made me realize that it is, perhaps, impossible for a vampire to avoid falling into madness if he only has one woman. Male vampires have a very different body than women, so their arousal cannot be so easily suppressed."
"It is possible that the reason why more women than men are born among the race is because the vampiric body itself understands that women are more necessary. Otherwise, the race itself could not continue to exist. Therefore, if you were not planning to have a harem, forget it, you will not be able to achieve it.
The only ones who make it are those who don't exceed 100,000 power or those who let old age hit them; I guess you won't meet either of those requirements, will you?" Gray smiled.
Matt shrugged. "Well, it's certainly not like I can leave Alice out of it anyway. If you want me to get engaged to her, that's fine; I accept; it will happen sooner or later. But I suppose you have other plans for me in the Allen clan, don't you? What do you intend?"
Gray shook his head. "You'll find out eventually. For now, the information that will come out within the next few days is that your wedding will occur in the near future. I'll wait for Alice to decide that herself with her mother and with you, shall I?" he asked, and Matt nodded.
"Fine." He replied.
"You can go back. Someone will take care of getting you to your room," Gray said, and after seeing Matt get up to leave, he spoke again. "Don't do strange things while you are in the mansion. And if you do, be quiet," he said in a joking tone.
Matt smiled helplessly. 'It seems like my in-laws will always be like that.' Matt thought and left the room.
