"Boss, I understand…"
John Jameson felt as if he had been enlightened.
He quickly picked up a pen, muttering to himself, and wrote down the big characters "From today onwards, no more low-end games."
Then he said with an exceptionally serious tone:
"From today onwards, this sentence will be my motto… No, I will even make young Jameson tattoo it on his body, to be passed down as a family motto for generations."
Σ(⊙▽⊙"a???
Uh, old Jameson, what you said sounds a bit too extreme!
Karl didn't want to get too entangled in this topic, so he immediately ordered: "Use your connections to find out where the Life Foundation transported those three containers."
That's right.
This time, Karl decided to personally go to the Life Foundation to retrieve the Symbiote.
Because if they couldn't complete "matching" with a Symbiote, they would wantonly devour the host's internal organs to gain energy.
Those with weak constitutions might die on the spot.
Those with stronger constitutions could only last about a week at most before dying of organ failure.
So, if this matter were left to others.
There would likely be enormous risks and uncertainties.
However.
The former headquarters of the Life Foundation in San Francisco had already been abandoned due to the previous Kaiju invasion.
As a result, Karl was now unsure where the three Symbiotes had been sent.
Fortunately, there was John Jameson, a local.
He believed that with his connections, he would soon be able to find out.
"Boss, don't worry, leave it to me!!"
...
…
Night fell.
New York · Newark Liberty International Airport.
A Boeing 737 passenger plane successfully made a safe emergency landing on the runway, and all the passengers in the cabin let out a long sigh of relief!
The cabin door opened, and Frank, Selene, and ten burly Thunder Warriors were the first to descend the gangway.
Selene took out her phone and glanced at it, then turned to Frank and said:
"My loyal subordinates just sent word that Victor has already led the Death Walker squad to the Blood God Sect to rescue Amelia."
"Currently, only a group of useless nobles with no combat power are left in the Wizard Society Headquarters, so we can seize that place first."
After a slight pause, she raised her hand and pointed in the direction of Port Elizabeth in the distance, continuing:
"The Wizard Society's headquarters is located on Staten Island, south of Manhattan, less than half an hour's drive from here, so let's all go to my safe house to get equipped first!!"
As the most elite Death Walker of the Wizard Society, and Selene, who consistently ranked first in the werewolf hunting leaderboard.
She had safe houses set up almost all over the U.S. for emergency refuge.
Naturally, various types of weapons and ammunition were indispensable inside.
Frank had no objection to this.
He then gestured to the Thunder Warriors behind him, who were maintaining a state of alert, to follow.
The group silently walked out of the airport.
...
…
Staten Island.
A massive ancient castle, inherited from the early Middle Ages, covering an area of at least three thousand square meters, was situated on the most beautiful Mount Moses.
And this was precisely the headquarters (lair) of the Vampire clan, the Wizard Society, to which Selene belonged.
During the past hundred years of Elder Amelia's rotation.
This ancient castle was mostly filled with decadence and weakness.
Those Vampire nobles who didn't need to perform missions or hunt werewolves outside had long been accustomed to a life of extravagance and indulgence.
Their minds were only filled with how to throw orgies in various ways…
However.
Today was an exception.
At this moment, in the brightly lit great hall of the ancient castle.
Dozens of Vampire nobles, dressed in luxurious attire, all without exception, had anxious expressions on their faces.
They were anxiously awaiting news from the front lines.
Just half an hour ago.
Their Master, Victor, had already led the most elite Death Walkers and a large number of Vampire warriors to the Blood God Sect's stronghold to demand the return of the abducted Elder Amelia.
This battle might directly affect the future fate of the two Vampire clans.
So, even if these people were usually dissolute, they couldn't help but feel nervous at this moment.
Especially Klein!
As Victor's number one subordinate, his status within the Wizard Society was second only to the three ruling Elders; he was a true power broker.
Even Selene, who was Victor's "adopted daughter" and held extremely high prestige among the Vampire warriors, had to obey his orders and management.
And in this sudden incident.
After Klein received the news that Elder Amelia had been abducted by the Blood God Sect, he directly disregarded the opinions of other council members.
He took it upon himself to awaken Victor, who was supposed to be on duty in the next century.
This undoubtedly broke the Elder Rotation System that the Wizard Society had adhered to for fourteen centuries.
The so-called Elder Rotation System was as follows:
Among the three ruling Elders—Victor, Amelia, and Marcus—for every hundred years, when one Elder ruled the Wizard Society, the other two would choose to slumber.
And according to the original process.
Amelia and the council members would awaken the next rotating Elder, Marcus, a month later.
That is to say…
Even if a special situation occurred requiring the awakening of a ruling Elder.
That person should have been Marcus, who was the strongest and the "Vampire Ancestor" of this branch of the Wizard Society.
But because of Klein's stubbornness.
Victor was awakened a full century early.
Victor was also furious upon waking up as a result.
However, Klein temporarily appeased him with excuses such as the critical situation and Selene's unexpected disappearance, suggesting she might be secretly colluding with the Blood God Sect.
Then he very timely reported the whereabouts of the Blood God Sect, successfully diverting Victor's attention, thus narrowly escaping disaster.
However…
No one knew that.
Klein was willing to risk being killed to forcibly awaken Victor, which was absolutely not just a mistake made in nervousness.
Or a helpless move compelled by the Blood God Sect's abduction.
But stemmed from his long-standing immense ambition!
That's right, Klein wanted to replace the three ruling Elders, including Victor, and become the Master of this branch of the Vampire clan, the Wizard Society.
In this way, Victor, who had transformed him into a Dependents (subordinate/vassal), became the biggest obstacle on his path forward.
As long as he could eliminate the other party.
He would be able to break free from the shackles of bloodline suppression and ascend to the long-awaited throne.
As for Marcus, known as the "Vampire Ancestor," he was even easier to deal with.
Wouldn't it be fine to just let him remain in slumber in the Land of Eternal Sleep?!
To achieve his ambition of "ascending," Klein not only secretly colluded with Lucian, the werewolf leader eager for revenge.
He frequently betrayed the operational information of the Death Walkers, causing them heavy losses.
Not long ago, he also unexpectedly latched onto S.H.I.E.L.D., a powerful backer that could help him achieve a breakthrough.
When Klein nervously proposed to the one-eyed black man in front of him that he wanted to use S.H.I.E.L.D.'s hand to eliminate Victor.
Unexpectedly, the latter agreed very readily?
However, the price was that after Klein successfully ascended, he must become an informant for S.H.I.E.L.D. within the Vampire camp.
And at the upcoming Centennial Conference, held only once every hundred years, attended by the strongest Vampire sects (clans) from various regions.
Help them gather information about the Vampire Lord, Vampire King, Vlad Tepes Dracula!!
The two hit it off immediately.
Klein agreed without even thinking.
He could even commit the act of murdering his own Master.
Betraying his own kind was nothing to him, okay?
Moreover, what S.H.I.E.L.D. "didn't know" was that although the Wizard Society was the strongest Vampire organization in the New York area.
For nearly a thousand years, the Blood God Sect, ranked second, had always been the one qualified to participate in the Centennial Conference.
For no other reason.
The three ruling Elders, including the Sovereign Victor, unanimously believed that only the Wizard Society possessed the purest bloodline of the Vampire clan.
Therefore, they disdained participating in meetings organized by those "hybrid Vampires" who had more weaknesses.
As a result, it gradually appeared to the outside world that the Blood God Sect was the strongest Vampire organization in the New York area.
However, Klein had no intention of correcting this perception from the outside world.
He just wanted to use S.H.I.E.L.D.'s hand to deal with Victor and be a carefree emperor.
Anyway, if he couldn't participate in the Centennial Conference then, he would have an excuse.
I would like to be your mole, but my strength doesn't allow it!!
In Klein's view, this cooperation only had advantages for him, no disadvantages.
So, the scene where Elder Amelia was abducted soon followed…
"Darling, do you think Master will be able to bring Elder Amelia back safely this time?"
At this moment, a female Vampire with long golden wavy hair leaned close to Klein's ear and asked softly.
Are you dreaming?
Still want to come back?
That old man is dead this time!!
Although Klein was extremely eager for Victor to die there, he still had to feign loyalty on his face.
He pushed away the female Vampire who wanted to get intimate.
And then, raising his arms, he shouted to the dispirited Vampires in the hall:
"All you useless people, cheer up."
"Master will definitely bring Elder Amelia back safely this time… So, let us celebrate the upcoming victory in advance."
Klein nodded to his trusted subordinates who had been waiting at the back of the hall for a long time.
The latter immediately understood.
A moment later.
More than ten trembling human girls were brought to the center of the hall, roughly pushed by several Vampire guards.
The Vampire nobles around them immediately cast burning gazes and involuntarily swallowed their saliva.
They smelled the unique fragrance of virgin blood on these girls.
This special scent, for Vampires, was like a pheromone that could instantly turn the most honest person into a beast.
It directly aroused their bloodsucking instincts from the depths of their souls.
The previously suppressed atmosphere was instantly dispersed.
These Vampire nobles involuntarily surrounded the human girls.
"Enjoy the delicious fresh blood from these human virgins."
Klein's face revealed an uncontrollable Laughing (maniacal laugh), like a new king who had just completed his coronation, he imperiously ordered:
"I declare the banquet officially open… Bang!!"
However.
Before he could finish his sentence, the heavy door was forcefully kicked open from the outside in an extremely brutal manner.
Then, Selene, dressed in black leather and with silver pistols hanging from her waist, walked in expressionlessly.
Behind her, a burly man followed.
From the scent, it was not difficult to discern that this man was a human…
And he was the kind of high-quality "food" whose vitality was several times more abundant than that of ordinary people.
No, how come we're having dumplings and then getting more dishes?
Selene, you're too good, you even thought of giving us extra food!
Many female Vampires who didn't understand what was happening began to linger their gazes on Frank.
Although he looked a bit old and ugly, there were many wolves and little meat right now; those who were quick would get it, those who were slow would not!
"Selene, what is the meaning of this?"
Klein's face showed a hint of vigilance as he pointed at Frank, who was standing beside Selene, and questioned:
"Why did you bring this human back to headquarters without my approval? Are you challenging my authority?"
Selene did not answer his question, but instead, with a cold face, retorted: "Were my parents killed by Victor?!"
Σ(⊙▽⊙"a???
Klein's face showed a look of shock, and he subconsciously blurted out, "How did you know… Ah, I mean, what are you talking nonsense about?!"
But then he realized his impropriety and forcibly swallowed the rest of his words.
However, for Selene, the answer was already very clear.
"I'm done asking, it's your turn."
Selene didn't waste any more words and immediately turned to look at Frank behind her.
The latter stepped forward directly, his gaze sweeping condescendingly over the Vampires in front of him, and said in a very strong tone:
"I announce that from now on, all assets of the Wizard Society, including the lives of you trash, are officially taken over by the Hyperspace Group."
!
"Alright, I'm done talking… Who agrees, who objects?!"
All the Vampires present were stunned.
No, this guy isn't going crazy, is he?
Just a mere human like you, and you want to take over our Wizard Society?!
You must have just drunk some fake alcohol and haven't sobered up yet, right?
Also, what the hell is the Hyperspace Group? We've never even heard of it, okay?
"Selene, are you trying to rebel?"
Klein sneered with a sinister look.
He had been looking for an excuse to get rid of this Moon Goddess, who had considerable prestige among the Death Walkers.
Now, wasn't this the opportunity?
Then don't blame me for being heartless…
Klein immediately ordered the guards behind him: "Selene has colluded with humans and betrayed the Wizard Society. Kill them both."
As his words fell.
Suddenly, more than ten Vampire guards, armed with firearms, rushed out from the back of the hall.
However.
Before they could even raise their guns, they saw Frank calmly order: "Action, kill all these scumbags."
The moment the order was given.
Bang bang bang…!!!
Ten Thunder Warriors burst in from the windows where they had been ambushed around the hall.
Their various firearms fired continuously, precisely blowing off the heads of the Vampire guards.
Blood mixed with remnants of brain matter splattered out.
The bodies of the Vampire guards then crashed heavily to the ground after swaying slightly.
But the slaughter did not stop there…
