Chapter 114

Following Leon, Sylas entered the count's mansion. The mansion was about the same size as Count Corleone's estate. When they reached the parlor, the door opened to reveal three people who had already arrived: Walter Vindeln and two other young men in their early twenties. While Walter seemed surprised, the other two scowled at Sylas.

"Who's this? A face I haven't seen before," one of them said.

"Leon, aren't you the representative this time?" said the other, his tone less than polite. It was clear that none of them particularly liked each other.

"Do you fools not know manners? Is that any way to address someone you've just met?"

"Ridiculous. Why should we show respect to someone from the Winslow family?" one of the young men sneered.

"Apologies, but he's not one of us," Leon replied calmly.

"What? Then who on earth is he?" asked the two bewildered young men, looking at Leon in confusion.
