After knocking on the door, a family of three appeared in front of Fang Ping.

The three of them looked unhealthily pale, and the child’s face was only slightly flushed.

When the mistress saw Fang Ping appear, she immediately pleaded.

“Sir, my child is still young. Can we not count him?”

“The two of us can give you more, but please let the child go.”

Faced with the requests of his kind, Fang Ping immediately felt compassion.

He could not refuse such a request because he was also a human in the past.

However, it was not entirely up to him to decide how much rent he wanted to collect. If he counted the amount and it was later discovered to be too little, it would be difficult for Fang Ping to explain.

Seeing Fang Ping’s troubled expression, the mistress immediately pulled her family to kneel in front of Fang Ping.

“Please be magnanimous!”

Finally, Fang Ping said reluctantly.

“How about this? I’ll only collect rent from the two of you, but you have to compensate for the child’s share too. There won’t be a next time.”

Upon hearing this, the mistress thanked him profusely. She even actively offered her arm for Fang Ping to draw blood.

Subsequently, Fang Ping placed a check mark at the back of the house on the registration form, indicating that the other party had paid the rent in full.

There was only one person in the second family, and he was an old man living alone.

As the old man was still a few years away from the rent reduction standard, Fang Ping had to collect rent from him.

However, with his first experience, Fang Ping seemed to be more at ease with this job.

He deliberately drew less blood from the old man and recorded how much blood was left.

When he came across strong young people later, he would think of a way to make up for it!

The process of collecting rent was very smooth. The humans living here had obviously been domesticated long ago and did not have any mentality of resisting.

After all, this was the territory of the vampires. With the strength of humans, they could not cause any trouble.

Fang Ping had always helped when he could. If he really could not, he would think of another way.

He tried his best not to cause any deaths while collecting rent. He also tried his best to make things easier for these humans.

Although he could not do much, he had used up all his meager strength.

The collection of rent continued until the next morning. There was only one street left to end the day’s work.

However, it was at this moment that Fang Ping encountered a small problem.

After knocking on the courtyard door, the door still remained unopened after a long time.

Fang Ping had already knocked several times, but there was no response.

“Open the door immediately. You should know the consequences of refusing to pay the rent!

“My patience is limited. I’ll say it one last time. Open the door immediately!”

Fang Ping’s tone became much harsher, and he was ready to break in.

Finally, the door opened.

Fang Ping was shocked when he saw the people in the courtyard.

This was because these people looked too weak. Moreover, there was no color of blood on their faces!

It was as if all the blood in their bodies had been sucked dry!

Fang Ping could not sense any fluctuations of vitality from them either.

At this moment, Fang Ping suddenly recalled some of the situations he had encountered during the process of collecting rent.

He finally realized that something was wrong!

During the day, Fang Ping had met a few families. Their faces were as pale as ordinary people.

Furthermore, Fang Ping could see what looked like needle marks on their bodies!

However, at that time, Fang Ping did not think too much about it. Perhaps it was just a needle mark left on their bodies during treatment.

However, the situation of this family could no longer be explained with common sense.

The butler in the palace had told Fang Ping that although the vampires regarded humans as a source of food, years of rule have long produced a very scientific system of rent collection.

Between the two rent collections, it would give humans enough time to recuperate and not affect their lives.

It was also impossible for vampires to collect rent multiple times in a short period of time and force these people to death.

“What happened? Why did you become like this?”

Fang Ping approached a thin woman and asked.

The woman looked at Fang Ping in horror.

“My lord, several people broke into my house yesterday during the day in the name of collecting rent.

“I felt that the other party’s identity was suspicious. I asked him to show me something that could prove his identity, but that person ignored my request and forcefully drew our blood.

“If you still want to collect rent from us, we will die. Please forgive us! We will remember your kindness!”

The situation was already very obvious. Someone was pretending to be a staff member and collecting rent from the people in this town!

And it was forced!

Of course, Fang Ping would not sit back and do nothing when something like this happened while he was working.

“Tell me what happened, who pretended to be a rent collector and forcefully collected the rent, and where they went.

“If you can provide effective clues, perhaps I still have a way to get back the rent that was stolen from you yesterday. In this way, it will also spare you from this calamity.”

Seeing the hope of survival, the family immediately began to recall the situation yesterday.

Finally, Fang Ping got the information he needed.

One of the pieces of information surprised him.

Previously, the palace butler had told Fang Ping that this town belonged to a count. The other party had entrusted the rental work to the royal family.

And that count was actually Manstein!

That would explain everything.

Manstein was chased by his enemies and escaped from his territory after suffering serious injuries.

Before this, he had entrusted the royal family to collect rent for him and he would give a portion of the rent to the royal family as remuneration.

As for those who illegally collected rent from the town, their identities were already clear.

So it was Count Manstein’s sworn enemy, Count Bruno’s subordinate!

Since they could not capture Count Manstein, they could only seek revenge in other ways.

Although it was illegal for them to do so, Count Bruno had a powerful background.

His family was a branch of the royal family!

As a direct descendant, Count Bruno’s bloodline was even purer than Princess Kallen’s!

That was why Bruno allowed his men to do such illegal things without fear!

Should he risk offending Count Bruno to help Count Manstein?

After all, the two of them had only met once. Fang Ping could completely ignore this matter.

But at this moment, a white light suddenly appeared on this family.

Was it the system?

Did these people have any investment potential?

Or was it because of the connection between the town of Porto and Count Manstein?

Fang Ping did not think for too long. Since he had triggered the system, he would invest in all of them!

The rewards given by the system would never be a loss!
