Better safe than sorry. If I died for no reason at Blade's hands, who would I cry to?
Wang Bert thought to himself. Soon, he followed John and the others into the bar. It was very dark inside, with only a few light sources. Hundreds of Vampires danced wildly to deafening music, while all sorts of unsavory scenes played out around them.
"Disgusting!"
Wang Bert did not like noisy places. Worried about Blade as well, he found a quiet, safe corner and silently played the handsome man. As for John and Jenny, they had long since gone dancing. Jenny had even hooked up with two burly men.
After a while, three men were led into the bar by three beautiful women. The three men had no idea of the danger they were in. They danced wildly with the women, completely unaware that the surrounding Vampires were practically drooling over them. No, they were already drooling.
Ever since Vampires and humans reached an agreement, most Vampires had survived on blood bags. The blood of living people was something only Pureblood lords could usually enjoy.
"Deacon Frost really knows how to win people over. He holds Blood Feasts and even brings in living humans. But why have humans never discovered this? It isn't exactly well hidden."
Wang Bert was a little puzzled. Soon, accompanied by rousing music, all the showerheads overhead turned on. What sprayed out was naturally not water, but blood!
Ah...
The Vampires roared in excitement, drinking blood while smearing it all over themselves. The three men, drenched from head to toe in blood, finally realized that something was wrong. Were these people insane?
Before the three men could do anything, the worked-up Vampires surrounded them. Some had even opened their mouths and bared their fangs. Just as the three screaming men were about to die horribly, a gunshot suddenly rang out from the entrance.
Everyone turned and saw several Vampires rapidly turning to ash. At the entrance stood a cool-looking Black man in a black trench coat and metal-plated vest, wearing black sunglasses and holding a shotgun! The noisy bar fell silent in an instant. A moment later, someone cried out in shock, "My God, it's Blade!"
"Blade, the Daywalker!"
Like startled rabbits, the Vampires screamed and fled in every direction. That was right—hundreds of Vampires, all running from one cool-looking Black man!
Blade grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. Then he pulled the shotgun's trigger without hesitation. With a bang, several Vampires turned to ash!
Once an ordinary Vampire was hit by silver pellets, the blood in its body rapidly dissolved. Then, from skin to flesh, flesh to bone, the entire body quickly crumbled into ash. In a sense, it was rather environmentally friendly! "Blade really came!"
Wang Bert could not help swallowing. He immediately fled toward the second floor through a nearby passage. This was where his foresight showed—compared to the other Vampires, he was clearly in much less danger!
Blade's mother had been bitten by Deacon Frost while pregnant with him, causing him to be born half-human and half-Vampire. Later, under the guidance of his teacher Whistler, he became a Vampire hunter. The Vampires he killed trembled at the mention of his name!
The most vicious curse among Vampires was—may you run into Blade! Blade possessed all the advantages of a Vampire but none of their weaknesses. He could even move under Sunlight, which was why he was also called the Daywalker! Naturally, the bar had security guards. Hearing the commotion, they charged out against the fleeing crowd. One guard fired a submachine gun at Blade while shouting, "I'm not afraid of you! I'm not afraid of you..."
"Does that look like someone who isn't afraid?"
Wang Bert, watching from the second floor, could not help mocking him. Blade sidestepped the guard's bullets, then fired a shot at him. With a bang, the guard flew backward and turned to ash in midair.
At that moment, more and more armed guards rushed out. After Blade fired two shots and killed quite a few of them, he threw the empty shotgun at the guards. Then he pushed off with both feet and charged into their midst at astonishing speed! Next, Blade drew the gleaming silver sword from his back and swung it rapidly. The blade flashed, and one guard after another was struck by the silver sword and turned to ash. They were no match for him at all! This was not only because Blade was incredibly fast, but also because the guards would die if any part of them was cut. Vampires' weakness was simply too obvious!
"So this is an Elite Vampire? So powerful!"
Wang Bert stared in shock. This was completely different from the movies. In the movies, Blade could fight, but he was only at a normal human level. He definitely did not have such terrifying speed. When he sprinted just now, even his flaring coat left an afterimage.
It looks like I can't use the movies to judge the strength of Super Heroes in the future. Otherwise, I won't even know how I died!
Wang Bert thought to himself, his eyes burning with desire. He wanted speed like that too! What person had never dreamed of possessing extraordinary power?
By now, aside from those who had been killed, all the other Vampires had escaped. Just as Blade was about to continue the hunt, a blond, bearded man arrived late with three fully armed guards. Seeing Blade, he cursed loudly, "Blade, you again!"
"Quinn, you won't escape this time!"
Blade said coolly. Quinn did not waste words. He immediately raised his gun and fired at Blade, shouting at the same time, "Kill him!"
The three fully armed guards immediately raised their assault rifles and opened fire on Blade. They were obviously much more professional than the previous guards. At the very least, if Blade had stood still, all of their bullets would have hit him! Of course, Blade was not going to stand still. He spun behind a pillar, then emerged from the other side and flicked his hand hard. A silver double-ended spiral throwing knife spun out at high speed, leaving a wound on each of the three guards' arms before returning to his hand.
But to Blade's surprise, the three guards did not turn to ash. Instead, they all turned their guns toward Blade and fired. If he had not dodged quickly, he would have been hit.
"Blood-thirsty Clan!"
Blade cursed. Quinn burst into laughter, firing at the pillar and sending fragments flying as he shouted, "Blade, let's see how arrogant you can be this time!"
Blade smiled disdainfully, took a flash grenade from his waist, and threw it out. Light exploded in a brilliant flash. The three Blood-thirsty Clan members were better off, only suffering pain in their eyes, but Quinn screamed miserably. Although the flash grenade contained no Ultraviolet, Vampires were still afraid of intense light!
In fact, Quinn was not the only one injured. Wang Bert's eyes were hit hard as well, tears streaming down his face. He cursed inwardly. He was only here to watch—how had he gotten caught up in this too? At the same time the flash grenade went off, Blade rushed out from behind the pillar. The blade flashed, and one guard's arm fell off, blood gushing from the wound.
The other two guards heard the sound and immediately swung their guns around, but they were still too late. Blade slashed backhandedly across both guards' necks. The two guards clutched their throats, but they could not stop blood from pouring out like it was free!
"Quinn, it's your turn!"
Blade flicked the blood from his sword and spoke coolly to Quinn. Without another word, Quinn threw his gun at Blade, then turned and fled! Blade immediately pursued him. Both moved at incredible speed, as if they had activated a speed boost. After waiting a moment, Wang Bert followed, enduring the soreness in his eyes.
In a hall, Quinn was caught by Blade, and the two began fighting. Though Quinn was also an Elite Vampire, he was clearly no match for Blade. He was soon cut several times. However, as an Elite Vampire, he did not crumble to ash. His wounds were merely quite large.
I can't drag this out. I have to end it quickly!
Seizing an opportunity, Blade poured a tube of Red Potion over Quinn. Whatever the potion was made of, raging flames burst from Quinn's body the instant it touched him. In the blink of an eye, he became a Human Torch, screaming in agony and rolling across the floor! Blade held his silver sword coldly, intending to chop off Quinn's head once he passed out. Even an Elite Vampire would die if its head was cut off by silver.
"Don't move!"
Just then, several police officers suddenly rushed in and pointed their guns at Blade. Blade cursed and turned to flee unwillingly. He was ruthless when killing Vampires, but he never slaughtered innocents!
The officers immediately chased after him. By then, Quinn had already been burned unconscious. Wang Bert could not help feeling delighted. This was exactly why he had followed them.
Just as Wang Bert was about to act, Jenny's terrified voice suddenly came from behind him. "Bert, what are you doing here?"
Wang Bert jumped in fright and hurriedly turned around. Seeing Jenny and John walking over with terrified expressions, he was speechless. So many Vampires had died just now, yet these two had somehow survived. Was there any justice in this world?
Maybe this is my chance to get revenge?
Wang Bert's eyes flickered as he whispered to them, "Our chance has come. Quinn has been burned into a charred corpse!"
"Quinn was burned into a charred corpse. What does that have to do with us?"
John was confused. "Let's get out of here. Who knows if Blade will come back to kill us!"
Jenny said as well, "Yeah, hurry up and leave. Oh, right, Bert, you have to compensate us. If we hadn't brought you here, we wouldn't have been scared like this!"
"You still care about money at a time like this?"
Wang Bert looked speechless. Since the two were not very bright, he explained in detail, "The police will definitely send Quinn to the hospital in his current state. With Blade's ruthless personality, he'll definitely chase Quinn all the way to the hospital. Quinn probably won't escape death then! If we secretly swap Quinn's body out, once he recovers, we can follow him to meet Boss Deacon. Then we can have whatever we want!"
John and Jenny immediately began breathing heavily. Joining Deacon Frost's team was the good fortune they had dreamed of. They did not think any further and nodded repeatedly. "Right, we have to save Boss Quinn!"
Wang Bert rolled his eyes inwardly. It seemed he could skip the rest of his excuses. He said directly, "Then let's get started!"
This job was neither difficult nor easy. It was not difficult because the police did not know Vampires existed, and they believed Quinn had already been burned to death, so they would not care much about a corpse! It was difficult because it had to be done inside the building, not outside. That would attract Blade's attention. Blade was surely watching outside now!
This was why Wang Bert wanted to swap the corpse instead of stealing it. If they stole the corpse, Blade would notice something was wrong. Then Wang Bert might end up having a date with Blade!
Under Wang Bert's instructions, John found a man who had previously been tricked into coming here as a blood bag before the police did. After Blade charged in, the man had been so frightened that he hid in a restroom, trembling and not daring to come out. That was when John found him!
Because Wang Bert had specifically instructed him, John did not kill the man. He merely knocked him unconscious. As for why he did not kill him, John did not ask. He was completely worked up now and only wanted to earn merit and join Deacon Frost's ranks!
Then, Wang Bert had Jenny run past two officers carrying the corpse while pretending to be terrified. Covered in blood, Jenny naturally made the officers chase after her to find out what was going on. As for the corpse, they naturally left it behind. It was not like it could run away!
The corpse could not run, but it could be swapped. Wang Bert had John exchange the unlucky man with Quinn's charred corpse. To be honest, the charred corpse was truly disgusting, and its smell was even worse. If Wang Bert and John had not had an ulterior motive, they would never have done something like this.
The two swapped the bodies as quickly as possible and stuffed the corpse into a bag. Then they secretly took it to the underground parking garage!
Not long after, Jenny returned after shaking off the two officers. This would not cause any trouble, because there were still quite a few Vampires who had escaped earlier in the building! Once everything was settled, the three drove away quietly. Since the place had multiple exits, the police did not spot them. All three were excited, because their good days were about to begin! "Bert, you're so smart!"
Jenny excitedly tried to kiss Wang Bert, but he dodged her. He had no interest in such trash. Besides, they no longer had any use to him. It was time to repay the debt! Wang Bert did not care about money, but his money was not so easy to take!
This was an abandoned building in Hell's Kitchen. John put down Quinn's body, turned to Wang Bert, and said, "Bert, go outside and keep watch. See if anyone comes close!"
Wang Bert was a little speechless. They had no brains in other matters, so why were they so skilled at taking advantage of people? They clearly did not want him to share the credit and stand on equal footing with them!
"Fine!"
Wang Bert agreed while pretending to be dissatisfied but helpless. Then, with one hand slipped into his waist pocket and gripping the throwing knife, he walked forward and said softly, "By the way, there's something I need to mention!"
John did not notice anything wrong and casually asked, "What is it?"
"The thing is, it's time for you to hit the road!"
Wang Bert suddenly pulled out the throwing knife and stabbed forward. It smoothly pierced John's side. John stared at Wang Bert in disbelief. Before he could say anything, his body rapidly turned to ash from the waist up!
Ah! Jenny screamed in terror. Wang Bert threw the knife backhandedly. It spun through the air and buried itself in Jenny's chest. Jenny screamed as she turned to ash, leaving only the throwing knife to clang onto the ground! "Easy! Still, if Vampires are this weak, why did humans make an agreement with them?"
Wang Bert nodded in satisfaction. His heart held only excitement, without the slightest negative emotion. They were merely Vampires, not even worthy of being called human.
After dealing with the two of them and retrieving his throwing knife, Wang Bert turned his attention to Quinn on the ground, looking a little troubled. This really was not something he could bring himself to bite!
