Brandon had recovered from the pain in his guts and finally managed to gain back his composure. He glanced to check if somebody saw him.

For making any beast item, you need to gather the cores first. Either by hunting the beasts yourselves or by using money to get your hands on these cores.

Vampires who collect these cores to make their own items form a bond with the items in the process. If a vampire really cares about his items, this bond will be formed between them.

This bond marks their items as their own. By sweat, blood, and tears they work so hard to make these items, and if these items are taken away by someone who's not from their family... The bond will break.

There are side effects if the bond breaks. The urge to kill the thief will grow stronger inside the vampire. He will go to any heights just to get his item back, let that item be a pencil then.

Unless their items are claimed back, this urge will not fade. Their eyes will glow red whenever the rage would take over their body and soul and mind.

It differs from vampire to vampire, of course. If the vampire doesn't care about its item at all or if he had gained the items in the wrong ways, a bond will not be formed. They will feel nothing even if their King-tier item is being stolen.

Brandon was not able to calm himself down. He rushed inside the plane. Ryan's images started flashing in front of him.

He saw: as soon as he entered the room, Ryan was way too much startled. His heart was beating at a high rate which was not normal.

He found Ryan's actions abnormal and strange. Overall that, he focused on Ryan's position. He was standing in front of the robot statue.. no, he was in front of the drawer, he thought.

He was hiding something. He was hiding something behind his back. Behind him was my drawer.. what was inside the drawer? ...my items. My diary, my blood, my glasses. YES. YES. HE WAS THE ONE!! HE WAS HIDING SOMETHING!

Brandon's walk turned into strides. He started running. Rushed inside the airplane. His eyes were turning red.

Students started boarding the flight. Ryan came out of the washroom. He sighed and started going back to his economy class.

Then he realized he was transferred to the first class. With a smile on his face and fear inside his heart, he started walking towards the first-class section.

While on his way, he sensed something, Ryan suddenly gasped, he felt the huge presence of someone catching up with him quickly.

'Damn. damn. Okay. ok. Calm. calm down, me.' Ryan increased his pace, 'Fuck! He is here!! No way, he's running. Did he find out already?'

After analyzing the situation once more, Brandon was clear that Ryan was the biggest suspect. He was the only one in his room and the only one who seemed to use the vampire skill.

Brandon's target was locked. The only suspect, Ryan Walker.

Out of the airport, Devon and Noami were walking together, strolling around the airport. It was near time for students to board the flight.

"And yeah, you gotta be fucking polite, avoid sarcasm too. Japanese people won't appreciate sarcasm, even as a joke. They will not get your fucking sarcasm which will create an awkward atmosphere."

"Oh.. I see," Devon replied.

"Okay so... What else you wanted to know?"

"Oh, tell me anything."

"Ah... sure. Lemme think." Naomi looked away, "What's wrong?" she asked Devon.

"Ah.. nothing." Devon had gasped after sensing something. He frantically started looking around the area.

'What are you doing?' Devon thought. He felt the same presence as someone. He knew for sure what it was.

"Ah.. you might wanna know this-"

"Naomi. Can you wait for a minute?"

She looked confused after Devon suddenly cut her off in between, "....sure"

"I will be back quick. You know what, I will make it quick."

'Does he wants to use the washroom? Why is he so desperate?' she nodded agreeing to Devon.

"Thank you!" He started walking out of the airport.

The presence was getting stronger, 'No way, are you going for Ryan? Or did you spot our enemies?' Devon increased his pace as the presence started fading away.

'I gotta stop him. We don't want yet another war.' Devon started running. He entered the flight.

Many thoughts started confusing Devon what the reality was. Was it their enemy? Or was he really going for Ryan? The second case gave Devon shivers.

It was not that he thought his family could not win against Ryan or his family. He was aware of Ryan's family situation. He didn't even know how powerful Ryan's family was or did he even had a family in the first place.

The only thing he knew was, it was Ryan's ring that gave him the power to attack his enemies, heal himself. Another thing was sure, Ryan was powerful.

Not enough to win the war alone if it happened in the worst case but strong enough to kill a few before dying. The thing which scared him the most was Ryan's no fear of death.

Ryan was not afraid of his own death. Nothing will hold him back from going all out. 'Please. Don't kill him... Brandon.'

'So you are not family-friendly, are you? I thought you were just a student but looks like you are more than that. I should have taken your mission myself. Why the hell did I wait for that punk?'

His feet started banging hard against the plane's floor. No one was in yet which made it easier for him to run.

'You must be a vampire with something wrong with your body.' Brandon concluded, 'For what you have done, I guess it will be a valid reason for the council not to execute me..' he ran faster. Just one more block and it was the first class.

'This won't start a vampire war either. I mean, the reason's so valid. He didn't just take some items.. he took MY items!'

'Here he is. Act normal, Ryan.'

'There you are. I can clearly track your position.' Devon dashed through the economy class into the business class.... First-class was only a few meters away.
