The Cullen Family's territory was not far from the Volturi Family, but their styles were vastly different.
If the Volturi Family's territory was a castle for "noble" living, then the Cullen Family's territory was more like a residential area for commoners.
The scattered, simple residential buildings filled the place with a sense of life.
The only difference from a human town was probably the absence of children's laughter.
When Mike, a human, arrived, he quickly attracted the attention of the Cullen Family members.
"Could he be the Destroyer Marie foresaw?"
"This young human doesn't look like a bad person..."
"The Volturi Family leader and the Werewolf leader are both here, so nothing should happen..."
"No, we must inform Carlisle about the situation here..."
...
The number of Vampires in the Cullen Family was not large, perhaps only a little over two hundred in total, and most of them maintained goodwill towards strangers.
This was also Carlisle Cullen's original intention in establishing the family—to be kind to others.
Of course, among these family members, there were also intelligent Vampires.
They realized that a human arriving at this time might mean trouble was coming.
So, some clever Vampires secretly went to the leader's residence, wanting to report the situation to him.
On the other side, Carlisle, who was alone in his room thinking about how to deal with the crisis, naturally noticed the situation outside.
When he walked out of his room, he happened to meet the Vampire who had come to "report" the news.
"A human has come to our territory? The crisis came so quickly..." Carlisle frowned after hearing his subordinate's report.
"Leader, I heard a human arrived—"
Just then, important members of the Cullen Family also gathered at the leader's residence, including Marie Cullen, Edward Cullen, and other Vampire members.
"Indeed, a human has arrived, but I'm not clear on the specifics." Carlisle thought for a moment and said, "Let's go, we'll meet that human together. If a crisis truly comes, we can't hide from it."
It could only be said that Mike arrived too quickly, leaving the Cullen Family no extra time to prepare.
On the other side, Mike, surrounded in the middle, looked at the surrounding Cullen Family members and was a little surprised.
Among these more than two hundred Vampires, all of them were good Vampires who had never harmed humans.
This was simply... a miracle!
And since Mike made no move, Sam, Billy, Aro, Marcus, and others who had accompanied him naturally made no excessive gestures either.
Thus, when Carlisle arrived with the important family members, what he saw was such a "harmonious" scene:
Both sides seemed to be in a standoff, but there were no signs of action.
'Thankfully, no conflict occurred...'
Just as the Cullen Family leader's gaze swept over Aro and the others, finally noticing Mike, who was surrounded by them, and was about to ask his intentions.
Mike's gaze, however, passed over them and landed on Caius, who was behind Carlisle, looking fearful and ready to hide.
Truly "enemies on a narrow road," getting what he wanted without effort.
In an instant, Mike activated his [Five Senses Control] ability, directly controlling Caius, who was preparing to flee, and made him walk towards him.
This second elder of the Volturi Family was not a good Vampire; putting aside other things, his recent act of taking people to Genovia and killing a dozen royal guards was enough to warrant a death sentence.
Moreover, Mike's mind-reading ability had also read from this second elder's mind his desire to retaliate against him.
However, this was not surprising; this second elder of the Volturi Family, besides being timid, also had a vindictive personality.
To retaliate against the Werewolves, he had once secretly massacred an entire Werewolf squad.
Mike clearly would not let such a hidden danger live.
"Demon... you're a demon..."
Caius, whose actions were beyond his control, noticed Mike's dangerous gaze and screamed in collapse.
Then, in his terror, he saw Aro and, grasping at a straw, shouted, "Leader Aro, save me—"
However, Leader Aro himself was in "self-preservation" mode and could hardly spare a thought for the second elder.
In fact, to avoid Mike's misunderstanding, the leader of the Volturi Family directly averted his gaze, making no eye contact with the second elder.
"You're playing with fire; sooner or later, this human will kill you all too!"
Seeing his pleas for help were useless, Caius directly cursed the surrounding Vampires.
"Have you said enough?" Mike controlled Caius to walk in front of him, intentionally not cutting off his voice.
Or rather, this was the effect he wanted.
Just like subduing the Volturi Family, Mike also needed a target for a public execution here with the Cullen Family.
It was just that the members of the Cullen Family seemed to be good Vampires of the lawful alignment.
So this target just happened to fall on Caius.
"I..." Looking at the human's indifferent expression, Caius felt a chill down his spine before thinking of begging for mercy.
"Alright, you've said enough. If you have more to say, save it for your next life." Mike didn't give Caius another chance to speak, extending his right hand and activating the Power of Retribution again.
And it must be said, this angelic attack method had a special effect against Vampires.
Immediately, holy light descended, and before Caius could react, sacred white flames ignited on his body.
Then, in agony, he turned to ash.
All of this sounds complicated, but it actually happened in a few breaths.
However, the effect was exceptionally good.
The Vampires who had been guessing Mike's identity now understood that this human who had arrived so abruptly was indeed the "Destroyer" Marie had predicted.
Suddenly, in the astonished expressions of the Cullen Family members, the scene became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Even Carlisle, the Cullen Family leader who had wanted to greet him earlier, was now frozen in place, staring blankly at the pile of white ash on the ground.
[Shield Spell (Talent)]... [Escape Ability (Talent)]... [Perception Spell (Talent)]... [Future Sight (Talent)]... [Charm Aura (Talent)]... [Mental Conduction (Talent)]...
As for Mike, after dealing with Caius, he checked the newly acquired characteristic traits.
It must be said that the core members of the Cullen Family, apart from lacking combat talents, had quite comprehensive abilities.
"Will you hurt Renesmee, and Mommy and Daddy?"
Just as the scene fell silent, a small Vampire with a cute appearance came up to Mike and boldly hugged his leg.
Although Renesmee was only a few months old, with her high-purity Vampire bloodline, she had already grown to look like a two or three-year-old child.
Children at this stage were also at their most adorable age.
"Of course not, as long as you don't harm humans without reason, I naturally won't harm you..." Mike looked at the cute child in front of him, smiling as he ruffled her head.
However, Mike still underestimated the level of terror he now held in the Vampires' hearts.
"No, Renesmee, come back quickly!"
Bella, seeing her daughter who had slipped away at some point, screamed in fright.
Just as the mother was about to rush forward, the female Vampire from the Cullen Family next to her quickly pulled her back.
However, someone was even faster than Bella.
"Roar!"
Accompanied by a roar, Jacob instantly transformed into a Werewolf, howling as he charged towards Mike, wanting to protect his imprinted mate.
Behind him, Edward also rushed forward, ready to protect his daughter.
"Interesting—"
Looking at the charging Werewolf and Vampire, Mike clenched his hand, and [Five Senses Control] instantly made them collapse in pain.
Jacob's enormous wolf mouth even spewed out some internal organs.
Seeing this, Jacob's father, Sam, twitched at the corner of his eye.
"Don't be rude, Jacob!"
Knowing Mike's power, he quickly stood in front of his son, lest he provoke the human again.
Then, Sam turned to Mike and sincerely said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Mike. Please forgive my son's offense; I will discipline him well afterward."
...
"It's him, the person from my future vision, it's this young man..."
At the same time, Marie, who possessed the [Future Sight] ability in the Cullen Family, murmured like a shaman, her eyes filled with immense fear.
It seemed she was greatly frightened.
At this moment, Carlisle, the leader, could no longer sit still; he flashed forward, blocking Edward, and faced Mike, saying, "Sir, I wonder where the Cullen Family has offended you?"
And as the leader stepped forward, the more than two hundred members of the Cullen Family around them also prepared for battle.
"What's wrong with all of you? This big brother said he wouldn't hurt us as long as we don't harm people..." Just as the situation was about to erupt, Renesmee uttered a tender, confused sound.
Compared to the other nervous Vampires, this little Vampire seemed not so afraid of Mike.
"Come back quickly, Renesmee—" Bella stepped forward, calling her daughter.
Heaven knew how afraid this mother was right now.
"It's okay, I can feel that this big brother has no ill intentions." Renesmee shook her head, extending her two small arms as if asking Mike for a hug.
This little Vampire, because of her pure bloodline, naturally possessed the [Mental Conduction] ability, allowing her to transmit her thoughts to others through touch.
At the same time, she also had the ability to perceive others' minds.
And the angelic energy on Mike made the little one feel very "warm."
This was also why she dared to come close to Mike.
