Rebirth as The Vampire Lord's Wife
Chapter 167: The Third Task (5)

Chapter 167: The Third Task (5)

Silence hung in the air once more.

Iris knows Demons will attack their mental mind. If she is not ready, then she will be affected.

Gavriel’s words rang true—this was the right moment to clean up the Mafia lord, and time was not on their side.

Just as Iris was about to voice her thoughts, Justin couldn’t contain his enthusiasm, blurting out, "Should we make our move now?"

Justin was bubbling with excitement about his new role as Iris’s protector. His enthusiasm soared when he learned of Iris’s divine mission to punish sinners. He couldn’t wait to witness her in action.

However, despite Justin’s eagerness to see Iris in action, Gavriel issued a stern warning. They are not allowed to help her unless her life is in danger.

...

Not only was Justin curious, but Gavriel was too. He was eager to finish their task and leave this place. Spending too much time with Xavier makes him tired and restless, as he always tries to avoid making mistakes and upsetting him.

Gavriel’s eyes focused on Iris. He felt a surge of curiosity at her decision.

Later...

Iris nodded enthusiastically, her voice filled with determination. "I agree with you guys. The sooner we complete this task, the better. Let’s go..."

Gavriel and Justin nodded happily.

After obtaining Xavier’s permission, Iris climbed into the car driven by Gavriel while Justin sat beside him.

Iris settled in the back seat, but her eyes fixed on Xavier. She smiled, gazing in his direction as he stood near the main door, observing their car drive away. Despite the distance, his calming voice continued to echo in her ears.

’I’ll join you with Lucian once you’ve completed your task. Stay focused and wrap things up quickly," he said. "Take care, my darling.’

Iris smiled as she answered him, ’I’ll return to you safely, Mr. Darkwood. Don’t worry,’ she assured him. She shifted her gaze forward, recognizing the street she had passed by with Xavier the previous night.

"Gavriel, why can’t we just teleport there?" Iris asked.

"Iris, no need to rush; we still have plenty of time," Gavriel playfully replied as he glanced at her. Enjoy the scenery."

Justin turned to her and said, "Indeed, Lady Iris, relax. There’s no need to hurry. We can even stop by a cafe if you’d like!"

Iris was speechless, not because he asked her to stop by at a cafe but because Justin called her Lady Iris.

"Justin, how many times have I asked you? Please stop calling me that. Just call me by my name," she said, feeling uncomfortable being called ’Lady Iris’ or ’Miladi.’

Justin simply shook his head and focused on the road ahead, disregarding her request. Since Iris had learned of their true identities as vampires, he no longer had to pretend to be Xavier’s cousin. He had returned to his role as Xavier’s subordinate. Treating Iris the same as before was no longer possible.

"I’m serious, Justin. If you keep calling me that, I won’t respond."

Justin chuckled and stole a glance at her through the rearview mirror. "Alright, but only if Lord Xavier isn’t around."

"Do as you please when he’s present, but not now. It feels strange when someone addresses me like that," Iris insisted. After Justin nodded in agreement to her request, she turned her attention outside, trying to enjoy the view.

The streets gradually emptied as they moved away from the hustle and bustle of the city towards the outskirts of the city. Along their route, the once-frequent buildings gave way to the comforting presence of shady trees lining the road.

A thought crossed Iris’s mind; she felt like she was heading towards Darkwood Villa.

"If I’m not mistaken," Iris asked, "...this road leads to District Six, right?"

"That’s correct. The mafia lord’s residence lies between District Six and Five," Gavriel explained. "Oh, right... Later, you and Justin can teleport ahead. I’ll follow up shortly. And, Iris, make sure to activate your God’s Eyes."

"Mmm, I know..." Iris nodded in agreement with Gavriel’s plan. She turned to Justin, saying, "Justin, you can come with me, but remember, you can’t assist me."

"Yes, Milad—" Justin stopped his words, grinning as he remembered her request to call her by her name. "—Iris. Don’t worry; Gavriel has briefed me on what to do."

"Good!" Iris said and, following the activation of her God’s Eye. Instantly, she could clearly visualize their destination a few miles ahead.

Before long, she said, "Justin, follow me!"

Iris disappeared from the car and appeared in a forest near the highway. Turning to Justin, who had appeared nearby with a puzzled expression, she met his confused gaze.

"Are you certain you know the mafia lord’s house, Iris?" Justin asked in confusion. How could she know, given she had never been there? "It’s still a mile to go..."

Iris responded to his question with a smile and swiftly moved, appearing she was running but actually teleporting from one location to another.

’Justin, if you want to come with me, make sure you remain hidden from the enemy,’ Iris cautioned, her warning echoing in Justin’s thoughts.

Following closely behind her, Justin was taken aback by the voice in his mind. He refrained from speaking, focusing on maintaining a magical shield to shield himself from view, ensuring no human could spot him.

Within a few seconds, they were moving at full speed. Finally, Iris slowed down and perched on a huge tree branch a few meters from the Mafia Lord’s villa. Justin arrived and stood beside her.

’You can see me?’ Upon realizing she had detected his presence immediately, Justin expressed his astonishment.

Iris didn’t immediately address his curiosity but asked, "Did you not hear what Gavriel said?"

"What?" Justin inquired.

"He instructed me to activate my God’s Eyes," Iris answered. She gazed back at the Mafia Lord’s house and continued, "This means I can see for miles from my position. I can see anything the ordinary eye cannot see, and probably my hearing is sharper than yours."

Justin is amazed at her abilities, growing curious about what other powers she might have.
