What Are You Doing?!
In the living room, Selma and Jiang Da Jin heard a sharp, mournful scream coming from the basement—the sound was quite urgent and piercing! It sounded muffled and elusive through the door, like a fleeting illusion.
But Selma and Jiang Da Jin heard it.
They looked at each other in bewilderment...
Selma remarked, "This Mr. Cao is ruthless."
Jiang Da Jin pursed his lips and nodded! Among the extraordinary people he had received, Mr. Cao's ruthlessness definitely ranked in the top three!
As for why there was only one sound... Mr. Cao must have used some means to isolate the sound! The actual situation is...
Li Yao and Xisen are currently staring at each other, both feeling a bit bewildered.
Xisen: "What are you doing?"
Li Yao: "Drawing blood? What are you doing?"
Shouting so loudly, people outside might think I did something to you! Xisen: "..."
What am I doing?! You come here with such a huge syringe and ask me what I'm going to do with it?! I thought you were going to use it to XXXXXX me! Xisen is from the Sabbat Faction, a branch of vampires obsessed with power and pleasure; their longer lifespans than ordinary humans lead them astray in their pursuit of thrills. From a young age, Xisen has been exposed to many rather horrific practices. Some of these practices have even spread outside the clan and are considered gospel by certain satomasochism enthusiasts.
It can only be said that ordinary people in this world are, in some ways, far more insane than superhumans or mutants.
So when he saw Li Yao come in with such a big syringe, he panicked!
Even some old perverts have never handled such a big syringe before!
But little did he expect that they were just there to draw blood... Recalling the previous scene, Xisen felt it was already a disgrace to his vampire career! Li Yao had taken many syringes; he drew six syringes' worth of blood from each species. He sent four to his best friend and kept two for Maeve.
When you're done,
Xisen stared in a daze at his arms, which had become two sizes thinner.
Smoking that much?
That's fucking outrageous! Who's the real vampire here?!
Li Yao didn't care what they thought. He casually untied the ropes binding them and told them to stay put. Since they had already signed a forced Slavery Contract, Li Yao wasn't afraid of them causing trouble.
He then left the basement and returned to his room upstairs.
After using protective and prophetic spells to create an isolation zone, Li Yao contacted his best friend on his phone and released Summoning Altar from his Space Ring to exchange supplies.
The rest were preserved using necromancy and stored in Space Ring.
When I meet Maeve in the future, I can give her this.
After the supplies were delivered, Lin Xiaowei sent a message: "I received them. I'll let you know what the research results are."
Li Yao: "OK".
After finishing here,
Li Yao lifted the isolation barrier and returned to the downstairs living room, sitting in front of the fireplace. "Everyone downstairs is taken care of! What are our plans for today?"
Selma's eyebrows twitched. "There are three relatively large gathering places for Inhumans in Bucharest. One of them is Fire Shark, which we've already been to. There's another one on Kyoto Avenue, which is actually run by the Wallfacers. It's even more hidden, and I don't know its exact location. It's one of the Wallfacers ' bases of operations in Europe."
Li Yao: "And what about the last one?"
Selma: "The last one is in Colentina, which is much more upscale than Fire Shark. Anyone with an Outcast can enter Fire Shark Bar, but Colentina operates on a club system, and only members can enter."
and,
Membership there is very difficult to obtain; it requires the joint recommendation and guarantee of at least two members to gain entry, and becoming a member also requires paying annual membership fees in the millions.
Selma smiled and said, "You're in luck. I'm a member there, and according to the rules, I can bring one attendant into the club."
Li Yao: "Thank you very much."
Selma waved her hand. "It's nothing, actually there's something I'd like to ask you for help with..."
As she spoke, she looked at Li Yao expectantly, and Li Yao hesitated for a moment before saying, "I hope that our relationship will remain purely based on monetary transactions."
Selma nodded. "I understand."
Li Yao: "???"
What do you understand?
Then he saw Selma take out her phone and start using it. Soon after, Li Yao's phone received a notification that the Alipay had been received.
He took out his phone and saw a large sum of money transferred: four million!
That's over 500,000 euros!
Li Yao: "..."
He lowered his eyes, wondering if the girl opposite him had misunderstood his words. "I said I didn't want to help! What do you mean by transferring money directly to me?" Selma looked intently at Li Yao: "Is it pure enough? If not, I can add more."
Li Yao: "..."
He pursed his lips. "That's enough, that's enough. You tell me first, but I might not be able to help."
Selma nodded. "I want you to help me get something. Actually, I've already assembled a reliable team, but I'm not very confident about the outcome, so I'd like to ask you to join."
As she spoke,
As he got up, he pulled a piece of paper from a book behind the fireplace. It had a strange mistletoe painted on it.
Unlike typical mistletoe paintings, the veins of the mistletoe plant on this piece are pale gold, and the edges of the leaves have a ring of sharp, golden barbs, giving it a sacred yet eerie appearance.
Selma explained, "This is a magical plant recorded in ancient books, Balder's Mistletoe, and I need it. I searched for it everywhere, and later learned that the Schutzstaffel Romania Division possessed this magical plant, which is why I came here."
Li Yao nodded. "Speaking of which, the Schutzstaffel even tried to recruit Xisen and his men. Of course, Xisen and his men are with me now."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Da Jin slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "That's awesome!"
Li Yao smiled modestly, "Right, hahaha..."
After he finished laughing, he said to Selma, "If you really want to get something from the Schutzstaffel, Xisen and the others can help you."
Selma seemed somewhat doubtful. "Can they be trusted?"
The scene of those guys readily admitting defeat last night was still vivid in Selma's mind, and he instinctively didn't quite trust Xisen and the others.
Li Yao simply got up and called Xisen and the others up from the basement. At this moment, they were all extremely obedient to Li Yao.
It was that genuine, heartfelt subservience! Selma was completely stunned!
She looked at Li Yao, somewhat bewildered. "How did you do that?"
"That's too creepy!" Li Yao chuckled and said, "Looks alright, right?"
Selma replied, "What if we encounter another powerful enemy?"
He may be respectful, but he's a real coward!
Xisen and the others blushed immediately after Selma's words, but Li Yao came to their rescue, saying, "They won't dare to do it again, right?"
He looked at Xisen and the others, Xisen immediately thumped their chests loudly! Absolutely!
I'll stake my dignity and pride on the vampire/werewolf/ Nightspawn / Moon Demon!
Selma was still not entirely convinced, but they were still a source of support.
With all members possessing strength ranging from high to peak of the third tier, and being exceptionally skilled in combat—even just twelve of them should not be underestimated.
They were just unlucky.
How did I end up running into Cao Tao?
Afterwards, Li Yao arranged for Xisen and the others to stay at Selma's detached villa, leaving Jiang Da Jin there to keep an eye on them. Jiang Da Jin was extremely happy to be able to get close to so many superhumans! He readily agreed, while Li Yao and Selma went to Colentina's club.
On the way, Selma told Li Yao the name of the club— Dacians Club.
This club was originally founded by a group of pure-blooded Dacians from Romania, and it started as a private gathering place. Later, it gradually grew into a club with considerable influence throughout Romania and even the entire Southeast European region.
Moreover, new members often hold high positions of power and have considerable influence.
If we compare them,
Fire Shark Bar is similar to Taobao: it's vast and comprehensive, offering everything from the highest to the lowest price.
The Dacians Club is similar to Tmall: its main users are flagship stores.
Selma said, "The Dacians Club is located on a estate near Colentina. They own an entire forest... The forest and road you see now actually belong to the Dacians Club. So we are already within the Dacians Club's territory."
Li Yao nodded. The scenery along the way was very beautiful. The Bodhi and chestnut trees along the roadside were lush and green. Roses and carnations were in full bloom in the park they passed, vying for beauty and displaying their vibrant colors.
Colentina, being a new urban area, naturally has many residential communities.
Between the buildings in those residential areas are plum and cherry trees, which are not yet bearing fruit at this time of year, only a lush green expanse.
In terms of environment, this place is quite nice.
The woodlands along the road leading to the Dacians Club are even more beautiful and picturesque.
The Bodhi trees, neatly trimmed and arranged in a pleasing manner, cast their shade through the gaps in the leaves. Sitting in the car, feeling the cool breeze on your face is refreshing and invigorating.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Li Yao thought to himself, "These Dacians really know how to enjoy themselves!"
This level of style is something most organizations can't replicate! Li Yao was even thinking that when he got back this time, he might as well set up a magic academy.
I'll have my own forest farm someday! That would be so cool!
While lost in thought,
Li Yao then heard Selma say, "We're almost there."
Looking through the trees from the winding road, a European-style manor building could be vaguely seen standing amidst the lush greenery. Selma continued, "They will conduct thorough security checks on the people brought by the members. Don't worry about it... and definitely don't get into any conflicts with them, or else..."
Before Selma could finish speaking, a tremendous roar suddenly came from not far away! "Boom!"
A massive shockwave emanated from the manor where the Dacians Club was located!
The shockwave spread and radiated outwards with tremendous force!
The powerful blast wave bent the trees near the castle, and the entire forest shook from the massive explosion. Even Li Yao, sitting in the car, felt the vehicle violently jolted by the shockwave, swaying wildly on the road like a drunkard! Selma immediately slammed on the brakes, then stared in shock at the location of the Dacians Club! Li Yao was also somewhat bewildered.
Pointing to the smoking manor building, he asked, "That Dacia Club you mentioned... it looks like it's been blown up."
Selma: "..."
Her hands tightened on the steering wheel, and she said, "Then let's not go..."
"Don't do that!"
Li Yao pulled out a bag of sunflower seeds from under his clothes and said excitedly, "Let's go take a look!"
Anyway, those who enjoy watching the drama never mind! Seeing Selma still in a daze, Li Yao urged, "Hurry up! It'll be over soon!"
Selma: "..."
She eventually drove over, and only when the vehicle got close did Li Yao notice that a battle was already taking place inside the manor.
Both sides in the battle had European appearances.
One side was enveloped in a pure white light, which was quite piercing and thick like milk; while the other side's fighting style was much more complex. Some of them were surrounded by black mist, while others were shrouded in dark purple light veils, with specks of silver light shimmering within the veils, like a magnificent and profound starry sky.
The side with more diverse methods also has a numerical advantage, while the side using the holy and pure white power only has four people!
Therefore, by the time Li Yao and his group arrived there, the battle was almost over.
soon,
The four people on the side using the holy, pure white power showed signs of fatigue, and their coordination became much more sluggish.
Seeing this, the many supernatural beings surrounding the four seized the opportunity to attack!
A dark purple veil of light, like a starry curtain, flew towards them and enveloped them directly. Then, blazing fire power, sinister dark power, and dark green evil power slammed down on them one after another!
Intense fluctuations in trading volume intertwined and culminated in a violent explosion!
The four people were blasted away by the violent and chaotic power, and the holy white light on their bodies was peeled off piece by piece.
Just as the victors were about to take them all down, the four men nimbly evaded the attack the moment they landed. After dodging the first wave of blockade, they found themselves with a silver cross-shaped dagger in their hands.
They shouted fervently, "The glory of our My Lord walks upon the earth, therefore we shall shine for Him!"
My heart desires it to be so!
They suddenly plunged the silver cross dagger into their hearts, and the mysterious, complex runes engraved on the cross lit up rapidly!
Immediately, a terrifying and immense power surged into their hearts, causing them to pound wildly as if electrocuted, squeezing the blood mixed with the holy white power throughout their bodies.
Their meridians and arteries bulged and expanded, giving them fine and terrifying silver-white lines—this change inevitably brought great burden and pain to their bodies. The four of them roared in agony, and pure white light even burst forth from their eyes, ears, noses and mouths!
All of this happened so fast.
It was too late for anyone to stop it!
Therefore, they could only retreat quickly while simultaneously using their power to envelop themselves layer by layer. "Watch out!"
"Boom!"
Another explosion swept in from the manor, and pure white psionic flashes radiated from the four martyrs, causing the nearby European aliens to scramble for cover! Selma quickly summoned layers of vines to wrap herself up completely!
All of this happened so suddenly!
So it wasn't until she used vines to wrap herself up that she remembered there was someone next to her! But thinking about the person's previous performance in battle, she felt relieved.
She breathed a sigh of relief and looked towards Li Yao, only to see that Li Yao was actually recording a video on his phone! Selma: "???"
Wow!
What are you doing?!
This is the first update, but it's a two-part chapter combined! Hope you enjoy reading!
