FAMILY ABOVE ALL: BATTLING AGAINST GODS

A golden-haired boy lay in the embrace of an enchanting snow-white-haired girl.

Their embrace would have been a mesmerizing scene to any viewer and would make them hold their breath, if not for the young boy covered entirely in blood and with a missing arm, and the visage of the enchanting girl twisted into such a rage that would send chills down the back of the devil himself.

Arianne's snow-white hair bellowed without air, and her ruby eyes were releasing a crimson glow.

"Why did you attack him?" she asked, her voice icy cold.

Nikki who had acted out in fury suddenly came back to her senses. Her body trembled as she slowly turned around.

She suddenly found herself in a difficult situation.

She and her husband could already tell that this guest of theirs didn't come for them.

As for the reason for her visit?

It was very clear that it was for Arlo. After all, even their great liege seemed to have developed some interest in him, not to say that she came after Arlo was delivered to them.

"I, I…" Nikki was anxious, yes! But she was also equally furious.

A boy who was meant to be their slave put her children in such a condition, yet she wasn't allowed to intervene?

She was just about to throw caution into the air and speak her mind when Tibu appeared in front of her and bowed deeply.

"Please, forgive my wife for her actions. She lost control of herself for a moment and acted rashly."

Nikki clenched her teeth when she heard what her husband said.

Arianne frowned as she wasn't satisfied with his excuse.

If not for Arlo who was still in her embrace, she would have already attacked by now.

"She lost control? Both of your children attacked a human boy who doesn't even seem to have started cultivating, yet they lost."

"If you had intervened to save their lives that would be fine. But for you to attack the same boy who was severely wounded and spent, despite the huge gap in strength, where exactly did you put your pride as a vampire?"

"When did we become cowards who bully the weak?"

Tibu was at a loss. He didn't know how to reply to the young girl in front of him.

First of all, Arlo was their slave. They could treat him anyhow they wanted as it was within their rights.

Moreover, even if they were at fault, he had already swallowed his pride and apologized. It's not like she would punish them and take the side of a human, would she?

Reality proved him wrong though, as seeing his lack of response, Arianne's raged expression suddenly disappeared.

However, her eyes were still chilly as she gazed at the two.

After a few moments, she spat out four words that sent chills down the spine of Tibu and Nikki.

"Cut off your arms!"

Her words sounded like a decree, one that couldn't be disobeyed.

What sent Tibu and Nikki into more despair was that, their bloodline reacted to her command, and their bodies subconsciously started to move on their own.

Nikki was in a panic, yet she couldn't stop her actions.

Tibu similarly wanted to protest and plead once more on their behalf, however, his mouth wouldn't open.

It was as if his body wasn't his own and no matter what he did, he couldn't gain any control.

'Who the hell is she?'

That was the only thought in Tibu and Nikki's heads.

For a mere command to render them powerless, she must be a big figure at the very top. Not to say that their bloodline was also reacting to her.

Both of their left arms clutched their right tightly, and were just about to rip them off when…

*Sigh!*

A light sigh drifted across the room.

Yet...

Tibu and Nikki suddenly found themselves free, and they regained control of their bodies.

However, both of them were not happy at all with their newfound freedom.

No!

Their face twisted in horror.

Someone appeared before them.

Someone that they have also dreamed of meeting, but knew they could never approach.

Someone that they looked up to and worshiped from their very core.

Scarlett!
