Infinite Evolution: My Idle Evolution System

Chapter 201 Alaric, the Pushover

'Poor lad,' was all Alaric could think as he neutrally observed all the emotions filtering through the massive Demon Dragon's sinuous expression.

"My whole life…" Cassius began to mutter, his enormous form slowly shrinking and returning to what it originally was. "My Extreme Hyperthyroidism, my Dilapidating Body Deterioration Syndrome, all the isolation I was forced to endure because of my hideous looks… That was all… you…?"

Bella repeatedly nodded, hearts still swimming inside her sparkling eyes. "Yep, yep, that was me, my love! Me and Daddy!" Suddenly realizing something, she hysterically added, "But you see it, don't you!? That I did all of this for you!?? I couldn't have any more thieving b*tches—like the ones you temporarily have at your home—latching onto you, so… so I did the only reasonable thing!" She clasped her hands and stared at him as if he were the whole world to her.

"Holy… holy sh*t," Cassius mindlessly murmured, his gaze becoming listless. "This is… this can't honestly be true…"

But it was. And he knew it was.

Then again, how was he just supposed to accept everything he'd just heard come from the mouth of a pretty girl he had only ever known to be polite and caring!?? What in the hell was going on here?!??

Was the script chucked out the window or some sh*t!?

"I don't mean to interrupt your coping time, boy," said Alaric. "But if we don't get the Vampire Couple Contractual Ceremony done before the night's end, we'll have to wait another half a year for the next bloodred moon cycle in Nightingale. Then again, perhaps my daughter would be—"

"No! Now!" Bella spat out, dangerously glaring at the hesitant middle-aged man. "We must get married today!! I want him to love me today!!"

"…Yes… very well…"

Even though Cassius was about to be kidnapped and forced into a vampire marriage by their Vampire Duke, he couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him. Although the Duke was the one who placed this supposed 'Seal' on him, he was, in the end, a victim, just like him.

He was also a… pushover.

However, with far more pressing concerns on his mind—like figuring out how to escape this nightmare and never think about it again—Cassius's pupils darted subtly around the scene. He was

Both Bella and her father tilted their heads in confusion as they watched the handsome, half-naked man… have an argument with himself?

"Maybe my daughter and he really are a match made in heaven," Alaric mumbled to himself as he shifted his gaze between two different versions of crazy.

Bella's heart-shaped eyes brightened. "I know, Daddy! Aren't we the definition of soulmates!?" Read new adventures at My Virtual Library Empire

…Yes, but not for the reason you believe…

Shaking his head, Alaric decided to just get things done and over with. He sauntered toward the perplexing young man. Stretching his hand out, he was prepared to restrain Cassius and take him back to Nightingale with his daughter.

However, just as his dark, bloody energy shot out in the form of chain tendrils, something changed in the young man's presence. Alaric instinctively retracted his hand, yet didn't know why he did so right after. His brows furrowed as he once again stretched out his hand, this time with even more momentum behind his actions.

OOOM!!!

"!!!"

Alaric immediately retreated. He covered his infatuated daughter in a translucent barrier before carrying her along with him. Then, with astonishment etched across his face, he watched as an oval-shaped black congregation materialized behind Cassius. The congregation emitted no energy waves, and there was no movement on its flat, swirling surface.
