"How much did you say?!"
Nick Fury was almost blown to bits.
I'm telling you, kid, do you have no shame?
You're not the only one who knows about the Titan?
How dare you make such an outrageous demand.
This time, there's no way you're extorting money from me. I will definitely not fall for it again.
At worst, I'll give the Monarch Organization some face, and I can still get the relevant information.
So Nick Fury hung up the phone without thinking.
Karl didn't care about this at all.
Because he had more interesting things to do at the moment.
...
Meanwhile.
Selene, who was previously hiding in the cold storage, felt a sudden sense of dread after hearing the conversation between Karl and the security manager.
Taking advantage of Karl's phone call.
She used her sky-blue cold eyes, which saw darkness as clear as day, to quickly search for a hiding place within the cold storage where fruits and vegetables were stacked.
But the result made her almost frantic.
In the vast space, there was simply no place or cover for her to hide.
Almost all fruits and vegetables were placed on two rows of specially reinforced shelves.
Only in the corner, on a simple handcart, were two cardboard boxes, one large and one small.
The larger one was estimated to be about 600 400 300mm in size.
It should barely be able to accommodate her.
"Damn it, I should have just jumped ship and escaped earlier..."
In a hurry, Selene first buried her two pistols, which were at her waist, in a pile of vegetables.
Then she took out all the remaining apples from the large cardboard box.
Dragging the small cardboard box with one hand, her entire body, like an acrobat, performed an inhuman extreme fold of her long legs and graceful body in a "Z-shape."
Finally, she managed to squeeze herself into the cardboard box.
Then she lifted her hand and tossed the small cardboard box into the air, while quickly retracting her hand and closing the top flap.
When the small cardboard box fell, it landed perfectly on top.
If a normal person didn't observe carefully, they wouldn't be able to discover anything unusual.
It must be said.
Selene's body flexibility was simply incomparable to that of a normal human.
However, at this moment, Selene didn't even dare to breathe heavily.
Because even the slightest stretch could puncture the cardboard box she was hiding in.
This was simply the ultimate test of willpower and physical strength.
And the cold storage door was slowly opened from the outside by two security guards.
"This is possible?!"
Karl walked into the cold storage first, and when his gaze landed on the cardboard box with organic apples printed on it, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Is this the Vampire's hidden skill—extreme folding?
Although the Vampire clan is born with strong Mental defense capabilities and can resist general Telepathy.
But for the current Karl.
As long as he spends a little time, he can easily penetrate the Vampire's Mental barrier and read their memories.
This was also the fundamental reason why he didn't choose to attack this female Vampire who had secretly sneaked onto the ship at the first opportunity.
"Unexpectedly, the Bloodline of this World is also interested in the blood of Titan creatures?!"
After successfully reading the memories of this female Vampire.
Karl abandoned his previous idea of killing her.
Because he not only guessed the true identity of the other party... it was very likely to be Selene, the Vampire female warrior from "Underworld," known as the "Moon Goddess"!
That's right, it's that damned World fusion again...
At the same time, Karl also unexpectedly discovered a very interesting thing.
That is, in Selene's memory, there was a memory fragment sealed with a special Mental Shackles.
Judging solely from the strength of this part of the Mental power.
It should mostly come from the bloodline restriction imposed by the superior Vampire who transformed her into a Vampire!
If combined with Selene's identity and past, the answer would be obvious...
This sealed memory is likely about the truth of Selene's parents' tragic death.
And the culprit, of course, is Victor, the Vampire lord of the Wizard Society, who transformed her into a Vampire and cultivated her into a sharp Blade in his hand.
Indeed, the older ginger is spicier.
Not only did he personally kill Selene's parents, but he also made her wholeheartedly serve him like a dog...
Karl exclaimed in his heart, a true role model for our generation.
Such an important knowledge point must be written down!!
However, since the Moon Goddess has voluntarily come to his doorstep.
Then Karl naturally has no reason to let her go for nothing.
After all, Selene's strength is still commendable.
And she also has extremely high prestige within this Vampire clan.
This perfectly fits Karl's current standard for recruiting talents.
In his opinion, the Vampire race is definitely a force that cannot be ignored.
These Outliers, who have long lifespans.
Have long since infiltrated all walks of human life during a process spanning thousands of years.
Although they have been unable to move from behind the scenes to the forefront due to the deterrence of various organizations.
But after thousands of years of accumulation.
These Outliers hold a massive amount of wealth that even ordinary financial groups cannot achieve.
If he can successfully bring them into his fold.
It will undoubtedly provide significant assistance to Karl's next phase of external expansion plans.
What's more, even a special forces team equipped with a full set of night vision goggles cannot compare to the huge advantage of ordinary Vampires in night combat and reconnaissance.
However, in the Marvel Universe, there are also Vampires.
The most famous among them are Blade (half-Vampire) and Morbius.
But unlike the Vampires in "Underworld."
The Vampires in the Marvel Universe are afraid of sunlight, silver bullets (silverware), holy Water, crosses, garlic, wooden stakes, and so on...
The Vampires in "Underworld" are only afraid of sunlight, not silver bullets or anything else.
No choice.
After all, the "origins" of these two are completely different.
Simply put:
The Vampires in Marvel come from the Black Magic curse in the dark book, and their origin is a "walking corpse" occupied by demonic power!
The Vampires in "Underworld" come directly from "God's punishment"!
This also led to such a huge difference in the weaknesses of these two seemingly very similar races.
And Karl, as an "investor," naturally prefers to choose the side with less risk.
Because even if the "advantage" is very slight.
But at critical moments, it is enough to determine the final fate of these two races.
In addition to this.
The Mental Shackles that Victor imposed in Selene's memory just gave Karl the capital to successfully recruit the Moon Goddess.
As long as he spends a little time, he can easily remove it.
Then, all that's left is how to turn Selene into his shape... ah no, turn her into one of his own!
Karl's lips curved into an evil arc, and he instructed his subordinates:
"Move this box of apples... Forget it, just push the cart directly into my bedroom."
...
"Hmph, no one who can make me suffer twice has been born yet."
After hanging up the phone, Nick Fury immediately called the Monarch Organization.
"...Dr. Serizawa, I think you should understand that for all of humanity, an uncontrollable Titan could become an unprecedented disaster, like the Kaiju!"
"And your Monarch Organization's refusal to share Titan data with others is simply playing with Fire, because these Beasts are a force you cannot control."
Upon hearing this, Serizawa Ichiro immediately retorted without showing weakness: "Director, although I am not good at War, I believe that no creature, including humans, likes to be controlled by others."
"What's more, this World originally belonged to these Titan creatures. We humans are nothing more than thieves who have usurped their nests..."
Damn it, it's that idiotic rhetoric again!
Nick Fury's lips twitched slightly in anger, he suppressed the rage in his heart, and earnestly persuaded:
"In my opinion, the attack in California already means that the Titan has declared War on our Earth..."
"Not all Titans." Serizawa Ichiro interrupted: "At least Godzilla, and King Kong, are still on our human side."
"But we can't entrust the fate of all humanity to those two brainless Beasts."
Nick Fury snorted disdainfully, "Don't you understand, the only thing humanity can ultimately rely on... is ourselves!!"
I'm telling you, you four-eyed guy, do you understand?
Do you want me to speak plainly?
Alright then... only the Kaiju who obey my orders are good Kaiju.
Otherwise, they are all threats to Earth's safety!!
