"What?" Boris could not quite understand.
"For certain reasons, my identity in Muggle society—you'll soon understand what that means—must remain secret. But the founder of Umbrella Corporation cannot stay hidden behind the scenes forever, so I need you to become me, to become Murphys Anon."
"But the two of us don't look alike at all."
"That doesn't matter. Murphys Anon is a false identity to begin with, and I have never appeared before the public. I can change all the records to yours. From now on, you will be the founder of Umbrella Corporation. And whenever I appear in the future, I will use your appearance."
Boris understood. "I'm your body double."
"Exactly."
This was something Murphy had always wanted to do.
It was just that he had never found a suitable candidate.
Boris was very suitable. Murphy had looked through his memories and knew he was a principled and intelligent man. Moreover, he had now been turned into a vampire and could no longer be accepted by the Muggle world, making him perfect to bring to his side.
Besides, he had a vulnerability, a weakness. As long as Mariana was there, Murphy was confident that Boris would not betray him.
After thinking for a long time, Boris finally nodded. "All right."
He had originally been prepared to use his life to avenge Mariana. Without Murphy, perhaps his life would have ended there, and it would have been filled with regrets.
Now, Mariana had returned safely, and his previous life had become the past along with that vial of true blood.
Then there was nothing wrong with spending the rest of this extra life, aside from caring for Mariana, in Murphy's service. After all, Murphy had given it to him. It was only natural to give something back.
