My Vampire System novel Chapter 325

Chapter 325 A love triangle

As soon as the timer had gone off, a few little spiders started falling down to the ground from underneath Logan’s sleeve. The two boys continued their fake conversation with hand gestures and such.

"So, what’s your favourite sandwich?" Fex asked, trying to make the conversation look a tad bit more realistic by asking a real question.

However, Logan looked as if he was really struggling to decide his answer. He placed his hand on his chin and looked up into a corner.

"Hmm, I would probably have to say cheese and onion. But since my body doesn’t deal with cheese that well... I guess if we were talking about favourites, then it would depend on my cravings at the time. Regarding how the question is phrased, the best sandwich differs. Do you mean the best tasting? Best one for your health? Or perhaps the best ingredients?"

"Eh, I guess you can tell me all three then?" Fex’s tone had a nervous vibe to it, as he wasn’t expecting a real answer back.

The spiders had now fanned out, and once they had completed their tasks, they reported back to the server, namely, Logan.

In the middle of their intense conversation, Logan suddenly stopped and stood up. "Let’s go."

The underground arena was accessible from any hotel room. It was designed this way so when contestants were eliminated, they could easily rejoin with their military base. This meant that each of the elevators were in some way linked. One would usually require a pass to go to the lower floors, but that wasn’t a problem to worry about. Not for Logan anyway.

They continued walking through the lobby and headed towards the elevator area. Fex glanced at the camera in the corner and could see a spider falling from it before rejoining back up with Logan. Once the doors opened, they both stepped in. The cameras within and outside the elevators weren’t able to capture their figures.

The cameras were set to loop footage for two minutes, once the time was up, it would then begin showing the live feed. It was currently night time and there were no other contestants that would be making their way from the underground up to the lobby. Once they were past these cameras, there would be no more problems since there were no other cameras in the underground section.

Logan could assume this was due to the same reason why there weren’t any cameras at the school. Many students would be practising their abilities. Their families simply wouldn’t allow them to spy and gather information by looking at what the students were doing.

While in the elevator the two of them placed both their masks over their face.

"So far, everything’s going well," Fex confidently commented. "Now, Vorden, Layla, it’s all up to you.

Without the blood, everything they were doing was pointless.

Vorden told Layla to meet him just outside of the number one military hotel building. He even informed her that he found a place and everything was ready. All she needed to do now was bring Quinn over to the destination.

Since he already told her of his plan beforehand, there was no need for her to use her tools. There would be no cameras inside when Quinn entered the room with Vorden, her job there was to be the lookout. Although only members from the big four could use the room, that didn’t mean they themselves wouldn’t. However, there was still the slight chance that Mona Bree or Jack would try to use it.

Burnie had informed Vorden that this was extremely unlikely, in all the years the place had been built, it was never once used by them. In fact, he reckoned that he was the only one to have ever used the place.

She stood outside Quinn’s door and took a deep breath before raising her hand to knock. It felt like the work she was doing now was more like the double-agent-type-stuff back when she was in Pure. These were the things that she had been trained to do, it seemed a little funny that she was still using it despite already leaving them.

"Okay, let’s do this!" Just as Layla was about to tap the door with her knuckles, it suddenly opened.

"Layla, what are you doing here this late?" Quinn asked her.

"But... How...?" She started asking questions in her mind. ’How did he know someone was by the door?’

"Oh... You don’t need to worry, I could smell you were coming" Quinn responded.

"Smell?" These words stung her a bit. She was tempted to lift her arms up to see if she really did smell that bad.

Upon seeing that she felt somehow insulted, Quinn realized that what he said just now could have been easily misinterpreted.

"No! I didn’t mean that you smell... I meant like, you smell great," he said while blushing. "You know, because of my sensitive nose and all."
