Chapter 312: A Noble Vampire

Thomas’ POV:

I looked at the panic-stricken blonde lady in front of me and tried to give her my friendliest smile.I really
didn't mean her any harm.I just wanted to know which vampire clan she came from.I had seen her
retaliate against the robbers using her special power just now.

It was absolutely marvelous.It was obvious that she was no ordinary vampire.

She was probably of noble descent as well.I didn't expect to cross paths with another vampire
aristocrat on my journey to this small island, so naturally I wanted to make friends with her.

"No, you're mistaken.I'm not a vampire."

The blonde lady avoided my gaze and shook her head vehemently.

"Anyway, I'm looking for someone.I should go now.Bye!"

I was a little surprised.

Why was she denying that she was a vampire? She had used her special power just now.

Only a vampire with noble bloodline could possess such an extraordinary ability.

Recalling how miserable she looked when the robbers were threatening her earlier, I figured her family
must've encountered some troubles, which was why she was hiding here on Rube Island.

I decided to respect her privacy and didn't ask any more questions.I just smiled and said, "Alright.If you
don't mind, can we be friends?"

When I said this, the blonde lady seemed to be relieved.She finally showed a polite smile to me.



"Of course, you saved me, Thomas.My name is Skylar.It's nice to meet you."

"Skylar, what a nice name!"I smiled back at her politely.

Out of curiosity, I asked casually, "Are you on the island on vacation?"

Truth be told, I was very curious about Skylar's background.Why was a noble vampire here alone?
Skylar's smile wavered slightly.

"Oh, I'm with my husband.We're going to settle down here."

"Oh, I see."I nodded.

Just as I was about to ask her another question, a handsome man suddenly rushed in between us.

Holding her in his arms, he shouted, "Skylar, are you alright? What happened?"

Skylar blinked at the man in a surprised daze before breaking into a big smile.But then, she looked at
me nervously.

"Oh, Thomas, this is my husband, Jerome."

Then, she pointed at me and explained to the man, "Jerome, this is a friend I just met.His name is
Thomas.I was robbed just now, and he saved me."

I smiled politely at Skylar's husband.

"It's nice to meet you, Jerome.I'm Thomas."

Looking this man up and down, I felt a little surprised.He didn't look like a vampire at all.

Jerome's POV:



I searched three streets before I found a restaurant that served burgers.

Unfortunately, it was full, and the line was long.I waited in line for more than ten minutes, yet I still
wasn't anywhere near the counter.

Thinking about how Skylar was waiting for me, I grew anxious, but there was nothing I could do.I could
only pray that the customers in front of me would be quick.

Just as it was about to be my turn to order, I overheard two passers-by chatting.

My ears keenly picked up on a few words they were talking about.

"I heard that a pregnant woman was robbed in the street ahead.I feel bad for her."

"Yes, but those robbers are notorious.No one would dare cross their path."

When I heard this, my heart leapt into my throat.

Skylar! Skylar was pregnant.

Were they talking about my wife? I was scared out of my wits.I didn't dare to stay in the line for one
more second.I bolted out of the restaurant and searched for Skylar.

Oh, my God! I couldn't believe that I possibly let something bad happen to Skylar! Fortunately, I found
Skylar safe and sound.

Relieved, I immediately threw my arms around her in a hug.

Only then did I notice the young man by her side.

He was handsome and had short flaxen hair.



It was obvious that he was popular among the ladies.

Alarmed, I protectively tightened my embrace around Skylar.

Fortunately, Skylar's explanation made me realize that I was overthinking the situation.

Embarrassed, I quickly smiled at Thomas and greeted him warmly.

"It’s nice to meet you, too.Thank you for saving my wife.I really appreciate it."

"You're welcome.It was just a piece of cake.No gentleman should watch a pregnant woman being
robbed without doing anything,"

Thomas replied nobly.

As I listened to him speak, something felt wrong.I couldn't smell the scent of werewolf from him—not a
single whiff.And his skin was abnormally pale, as though blood didn't run through his veins.I stared into
his light brown eyes and was almost sure that the man in front of me was a vampire.He must've worn
contact lenses to cover the morbidly red eyes unique to vampires.

"I'm sorry, honey.I overheard some people saying that a pregnant woman was robbed so I rushed back
as soon as I could.I wasn't able to order a hamburger.Let's get some food at a restaurant instead."

I gave Skylar an apologetic look before turning to Thomas.

"If you don't mind, I want to invite you to share a meal with us to express my gratitude." Thomas waved
his hand dismissively.

"No need.You must have something to say to each other.I wouldn't want to intrude."

Skylar shook her head.



"No.Thomas, you saved me.Dinner is no big deal.Please accept our invitation."

In my eyes, no man could refuse a request from Skylar.I looked at Thomas expectantly.

Sure enough, he smiled sheepishly and said, "Alright, thank you."

With that, I led Skylar to a nearby restaurant, with Thomas following close behind.

Skylar sat opposite Thomas and politely chatted with him.

After ordering some food, I snuck a glance at Thomas’ wrist.

There was a hexagram mark on Skylar's wrist.

If Thomas was a vampire, he might also bear a mark.

"Rube Island is a beautiful place!"Skylar sighed dreamily.

"Yes, I like it here too.The scenery is quite nice, don't you think?"

As Thomas spoke, he absentmindedly rolled up his sleeve to take a look at his watch.

In that moment, I saw his wrist clearly.

There was indeed a mark on it, but it was different from the one on Skylar's wrist.

Thomas’ mark looked a lot like lightning.So my suspicion was right.

He was indeed a vampire, and it was very likely that he carried a noble bloodline.

After all, Anthony had once said that every noble vampire would bear a specific mark totem.



Did he approach Skylar deliberately because he recognized her identity? I immediately grew nervous.I
couldn't let my guard down.No matter what his purpose was, I needed to protect Skylar.
