Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge-Chapter 256 Unqualified

Marceline's expression darkened. Though she was surprised to hear that, her anger surged up inside her. This incident only meant that someone took her grandfather away!

Who did it? Her cousins? Or someone from their enemies?

Marceline hung up the phone immediately and turned to Kira. Their eyes met for several seconds. Kira overheard their conversation. No need to utter some words, Kira and Marceline already understood each other.

They immediately put some clothes on, Marceline grabbing her car keys and Kira reaching for her hand. They left the room with their entangled hands.

The worry and concern were written all over Marceline's face so Kira took the car keys from her as he decided to drive the car himself. He stepped on the pedal, speeding off to the Golden City Hospital.

They had to find out what happened to Grandpa Roland. Who took him? What's their motive for taking an old man who was in a coma?

Upon reaching the hospital, Kira and Marceline hurriedly proceeded to Grandpa Roland's private ward. His doctor and nurses were there, waiting for Marceline and Kira.

All of them were standing anxiously in front of an empty sickbed. There was no trace of Grandpa Roland. The Zhou Family would surely get furious about this incident. They might lose their jobs.

The doctor bowed his head several times, apologizing to Marceline the moment she entered the room.

"Miss Zhou! Please forgive us. We didn't know what happened here. We already checked the CCTV footage but there was no sign of someone taking your grandpa. It seemed to be that he just disappeared like a bubble, leaving no trace at all!" The doctor spoke spontaneously, getting nervous by the second.

The nurse also stepped forward, saying her thing. "Miss Zhou, please believe us. We are all here but nothing unusual happened. We were surprised to discover that our patient was gone this morning!"

Marceline's eyebrows were drawn together into a deep frown. She needed to see it for herself. "Bring me to the CCTV control room. NOW!"

The nurse nodded her head frantically before guiding Marceline and Kira to the CCTV control room. Kira also assessed every scenario that might have happened in that hospital.

No CCTV recordings. No traces at all. Distorted memories of the staff. All these only led to one thing. Someone who could manipulate people's memories and avoid CCTV recordings must have done this.

VAMPIRES! They are the only creatures that could pull this off. Werewolves couldn't hide their traces. Vampires are more capable than werewolves in doing that. But Why? Why did a vampire take away Marceline's grandfather?

Then a certain someone popped up in Kira's mind. 'Raizel! He might have the answer to this question.'

With this generalization, Kira pulled Marceline towards the corner for them to talk privately. Marceline looked at him with her questioning gaze. She could tell that Kira might have gotten a clue.

"What is it, Ki? Do you have any idea who took my grandpa?" Marceline asked him. 𝘧𝘳𝐞𝚎𝑤ℯ𝘣𝗻𝘰ѵℯl.c𝐨𝚖

Kira nodded his head, reaching out to caress her face. His gesture was telling her to trust him and calm down. He was comforting her. 𝙛𝑟𝑒e𝘸𝑒𝗯𝘯𝗼𝘃el.𝒄𝒐m

"Don't worry. I promise. I will get him back. I think the vampires have something to do with this but I need to confirm it first. Don't overthink. As we all know, your grandpa is working with vampires. I believe they would not harm him." Kira wanted to reassure Marceline but deep inside, he was already scolding Raizel in his mind.

He had just told him not to touch any people close to Marceline. And now, vampires were the prime suspect for the sudden disappearance of Grandpa Roland.

"I have to go and meet someone," Kira softly mumbled, leaning closer to plant a gentle kiss on Marceline's head.

Marceline grabbed his arm and said, "Let me come with you." She pleaded.

But Kira shook his head. "No. You can't. You are a werewolf. We must not let them know that you've become a werewolf. Vampires have biases when it comes to werewolves."

"But you are by my side. You will protect me, right?" Marceline insisted. She couldn't stay behind, doing nothing. She wanted to help Kira in finding Grandpa Roland.

But Kira's decision was firm. He didn't want Raizel to find out that Marceline had become a werewolf. He would hate her.

"My Lady… please understand. I am asking you this to keep you safe. Trust me. Can't you do that?" Kira's pleading eyes finally convinced Marceline to stay behind.

"Alright. Just come back soon. I'll give you one hour." Marceline said, her eyes filled with worries.

"Thank you, my Lady!" Kira kissed her once again before letting go of her face.

"I should go. Just wait for me here. Okay?"

Marceline bobbed her head. There was a faint smile on her lips. Kira took his leave right away to find Raizel. He would seek an answer from him.

A few minutes after Kira left, Marceline went back to Grandpa Roland's empty ward. She dismissed the doctor and nurses, allowing them to leave. She wanted to be alone and think. She was contemplating whether to follow Kira or just wait there.

Marceline was lost in her thoughts when someone suddenly entered the room. A slender woman in a red off-shoulder tight-fitting dress with long curly hair marched forward, disregarding Marceline's privacy.

She had just barged in as if she owned that room. She held her head so high while looking at Marceline with an eyebrow raised. She sized her up, eyeing Marceline from head to toe and vice versa.

'So this is her… Roland's another granddaughter. Hmm, what's so great about her? Why is Raizel afraid to offend her?' Victoria continued assessing Marceline's beautiful features.

It did not take long before Marceline finally raised her head, meeting Victoria's gaze. She finally noticed the stranger's presence.

'Who is she? What is she doing here?' Marceline was alerted as Stella also told her to be wary of this newcomer. She could sense an overwhelming pressure between them. Stella could also feel that Victoria was not just an ordinary woman. She possessed a powerful aura, enough to intimidate others, but not Marceline.

"Who are you?" Marceline asked her indifferently. She didn't show any politeness as Victoria was the first one to act rudely, barging in without knocking on the door.

"You don't have the qualification to know my name," Victoria responded coldly and arrogantly.

Marceline just sneered at her and mockingly said, "Then why did you come here to see someone unqualified like me?"

Victoria: *Speechless*

She didn't expect that Marceline would talk back to her. She wasn't intimidated at all by Victoria's overbearing attitude.

"I'm right. Based on your expression, you came here just to see me." Marceline taunted her further.

Victoria crumpled her face while giving Marceline a sharp glare. How dare a mere human talk back at her like that? If not for Raizel's warning, she could kill Marceline right here right then, with just one snap of her fingers.

Trying to maintain her cool, Victoria let out a sarcastic laugh. Then she moved closer to Marceline. In a flash, Victoria grabbed Marceline by her neck, strangling her using one hand!
