71 Chapter 70: Javier
The face of the student was covered by his black hood, making it impossible to see. He swatted at a corner as he spoke and his voice echoed across the abandoned alley.
“How did his blood taste?” Damon finally looked up, revealing fiery purple eyes as he asked the question.
Hearing this the face of the bartender twisted and he instinctively clenched his fist. He didn’t know what to say or how to reply to the kids’ words.
“I heard students are currently busy with internships. You shouldn’t waste your time coming to my bar anymore.... You are too young to drink anyway” the bartender said coldly and turned to leave without hesitation.
“Of course, I already started my internship. Guess who I work for?” Damon said which made the bartender stop. His hands curled into a fist and his eyes turned cold. His body trembled a bit but he seemed to regain his composure and when he turned to meet Damon’s gaze he had a smile on his face.
“For a man, it is a sin to put on makeup. Let the world see your pale little face... Anyway, hiding within a bar all through the day is quite smart. With a legit business, no one would suspect you. But don’t you think you have killed enough homeless men on the streets? Even normal people already know you have close relationships with a lot of homeless men who went missing after a while” Damon said.
“What are you trying to say?” The youth asked.
“I’m saying two things that blew your cover. My hands brushed against yours while you kept serving me drinks. I was really high but damn, your hands were cold as fuck. That and the homeless men stories blew your cover... And just in case you are confused. My internship is with the Hail family. They sent me” Damon said the last part with a grin that revealed his fangs.
Hissed!
.....
The bartender hissed like a snake and quickly jumped onto the wall, scaling it like it was nothing! Damon stood and watched in shock as the bartender ran up the wall like he was running on the ground and frowned.
This was truly unexpected!
Swoosh!
Javier ran through the night, jumping from rooftop to rooftop with a frightening look on his face. His eyes had dark circles and were blood red now instead of orange!
A blood clan member or you can say a vampire!
How the fuck did they know?
I really overdid it with the homeless people?
Why the fuck are they even pissed? I feed those homeless people well for a while before draining them and giving them a peaceful death! I was doing this fucking kingdom a favor!
Countless thoughts raced through his mind as he jumped from building to building. Javier arrived in this city ten years ago, under the directive of the blood clan to do two things.
The first is to keep an eye on the capital and learn of any major movements taking place. That was when the Hail clan was at its peak, under the leadership of their former lone wolf. He was the one who tipped them off of their plans to raid and this led to the forces of the kingdom getting ambushed on their way there which lead to the old members of the Hail family dying.
For more than a decade he remained here and watched while accomplishing his second task. In this world, vampires are far more organized. In the past, you could see vampires roaming every part of the world, breaking into homes at night and drinking to their fill while hiding during the daytime. The Blood clans, first blood soon came and created the blood clan at the center of the continent. There they withdrew from empires and gathered there to form what one could consider a nation of their own.
This kingdom attracted all the vampires across the world, pulling them over to that side. The original inhabitants of that area were turned into livestock, reared by the vampires like sheep and cattle. With the laws and rules on the ground, feeding has never been a problem. Humans reproduce fast and grow even faster! It can be considered a paradise for them!
Javier’s duty was to gather any vampires found here and send them to the homeland of all vampires. In fact, if possible he was allowed to turn people and send them over!
One way or another, he was blistering the forces of the vampires!
He was no small player on the list even though he was lacking in strength.
Yes!
For someone who only turned a few decades ago, Javier’s strength was still somewhere at the peak of the human realm. Vampires get stronger with age. While they can cultivate their cultivation resources are extremely rare and most times are strictly used by the first bloods and their generals. People like him just need to keep feeding on blood and living. Their strength rises with time.
Thud!
Javier stopped as he was met with a petite-looking girl in complete steel armor and a massive shield in her left hand with a hammer in her right. She seemed to have been waiting for him the whole time as if she knew he would come.
“Wow, you really came just like he said you will” Jean yelped in surprise.
“Of course he did. He is a fast runner but I have come across people who can run better” Damon suddenly landed on the rooftop and spoke with a calm smile on his face.
He has heard so much about the blood clan but has rarely encountered them. These vampires were far more organized and powerful than anyone would think. That is why they have a country of their own and yet not even the normal citizens of this country know about it.
If allowed to exist even longer, the human race that these vampires desperately seek to replace will be wiped out eventually.
“I apologize, I know we sacred you but the kingdom is about to mobilize forces to invade the blood clan again but this time they want you dead before letting out the news” Damon said coldly.
