Banquet

Just as Charlotte was about to return, Gamakichi suddenly spoke up:

"Lord Charlotte, don't forget my Tanto!"

Charlotte was taken aback by Gamakichi's words, feeling slightly embarrassed because he had forgotten to tell her about forging the Tanto Ginny.

However, he remained very calm and said in a very composed tone, "Gamakichi, your Tanto is too big. It will take time to forge. I will send it to you once it is finished."

Gamakichi, unaware of the truth of the matter, happily exclaimed, "Thank you, Lord Charlotte!"

After saying that, he returned directly to the Summoning Realm, while Charlotte used the Reverse Summoning Jutsu to arrive at the side of the Ninja Dog Bull.

Watching Lord Charlotte leave, Iruka glanced at Sasuke and Rock Lee and said, "Alright, let's head back to the Continental Hotel!"

Blue Snake had already returned to the Summoning Realm, while the three of them, along with Alexander, were on the sea, racing towards the coastline.

Inside the Vampire Castle.

Marcus had now regained his strength and transformed back into his human form. Seated on his Throne, he looked at Elektra kneeling below him and asked:

"What's the result now?"

Elektra lowered her head, a hint of unease in her expression. "We sent a security team from Zaldes Industries to investigate, and apart from signs of a struggle, we didn't find any Werewolf or Vampire at the scene."

"Not even a single corpse has been found, and the whereabouts of Elder Viktor and the others are unknown."

Marcus sat on the Throne, his mind preoccupied with the Werewolf doctor's memories. Could it be that Lucian had already completed the fusion, thus defeating Viktor and the others?

After a moment's thought, Marcus said, "Check all the Safe House using the monitoring equipment to see if they are activated."

"It's daytime now. If Viktor and the others aren't dead, they'll definitely find somewhere to hide."

"Summon Death Dealer are out there, and order them all to return to the castle after nightfall!"

"Yes"

Marcus glanced at Elektra and then said, "Go take care of the business."

Upon receiving Marcus's instructions, Elektra dared not linger and immediately stood up and retreated.

Recalling the Werewolf doctor's memories, Marcus saw on Lucian the key that imprisoned his brother William, though it was only one of two keys.

If I were to acquire William's bloodline power, would I be able to create a powerful race that is neither afraid of sunlight nor is it a half-wolf, half- Vampire?

But the thought of Viktor's disappearance and uncertain fate, along with the mysterious whereabouts of the two keys, gave Marcus a headache.

London Continental Hotel.

Iruka led the bound Alexander inside. At that moment, a hotel waiter saw this and cautiously approached Iruka, saying, "Lord Iruka, killing is forbidden inside the hotel. This is Rules set by the High Table."

Iruka turned to look at the waiter, his expression icy, and said, "I know!"

After saying that, he ignored the waiter and returned to his room with Alexander, Sasuke, Rock Lee, and the others.

Alexander, who had been dragged back by Iruka, had already woken up. Looking at the three people in front of him, he said incredulously, "It was the three of you who defeated my entire fleet's men!"

Iruka glanced at the other person and said calmly, "I warned you!"

Where are you taking me?

Iruka ignored Alexander, instead dislocating his joints and jaw, and then handed him over to the Werewolf for safekeeping.

"You guys take a break, we'll continue after dark."

After giving Sasuke and Rock Lee some instructions, Iruka headed towards Selene's room.

Sasuke and Rock Lee returned to their rooms to rest, clearly exhausted from the long journey.

Naruto was listening intently to Selene's Vampire stories when he saw Iruka and the others return. He excitedly exclaimed, "Iruka-sensei, you're back!"

Iruka nodded, glanced at the three people in the room, and said, "Selene, take us to the Vampire Castle after dark."

"Yes, sir!"

Seeing that Selene and the others were heading to the Vampire Castle for a cleanup operation, Michael immediately said, "Please take me with you."

Iruka frowned slightly and looked at Michael, saying, "Although you have gained some power, you don't have much combat strength."

Iruka clearly didn't think highly of Michael; the other was just an ordinary person who had suddenly gained power, and it was questionable whether he would even dare to kill.

Upon hearing Iruka's refusal, Michael explained, "I can clear out some of the grunts, and of course, I can help you clean up the battlefield."

Seeing Michael's suggestion, Iruka nodded and agreed.

Night fell quickly.

Iruka Team, along with Selene and Michael, headed towards the Vampire Castle. As for the fifteen Werewolf, five were left behind to guard Alexander, while the remaining ten went to the Vampire Castle together.

Their main task was to block all directions of the castle and prevent any Vampire from escaping.

At Charlotte Agency.

Seeing that Shizune and Tsunade had already changed their clothes, Charlotte said, "Let's go!"

John drove, while Charlotte led the three beauties, Ginny, Shizune, Tsunade, to the Walt Disney Concert Hall where the banquet was being held.

Charlotte had just gotten out of the car when she heard gasps of surprise from the crowd:

"Mr. Charlotte!"

"So handsome!"

"Oh my god! Who's that beautiful woman next to him? She has such a great figure!"

Tony Stark, who had arrived at the scene earlier, was being interviewed by a beautiful reporter.

"Stark Industries is very confident in becoming a leader in the new energy sector, and my very existence, Tony's, is the strongest endorsement of this."

"Furthermore, after ceasing arms sales, Stark Industries has become an even more caring company; for example, this Heart-to-Heart Charity Gala is a good start."

Just as Stark was answering the beautiful reporter's question, a gasp and a flurry of camera shutter clicks caught Tony's attention.

Tony Stark is always in the news, and countless media outlets are eager to uncover something about the mysterious Charlotte Doyle, so many reporters and media immediately swarmed around him.

Seeing Charlotte Doyle approaching, Tony ended the interview and walked over with Pepper Potts beside him.

"You, the host of this banquet, actually arrived later than us guests."

Charlotte gave Tony a brief hug, then said, "The banquet hasn't started yet, so I'm not late."

At this moment, countless reporters were taking pictures frantically with their cameras, documenting the friendship between the two.

Charlotte looked at Tony and said with a smile, "Let's go in together!"
