Our Relationship Is Ordinary

Russell wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Amelia was hinting at wanting to sleep with him... no, maybe she was making it explicit.

Amelia has the looks, the figure, and the charisma; sleeping with her would be a great deal.

But being a person and doing business are two different things. Business can be done as long as it doesn't lose money, but being a person is different; one must adhere to principles. Russell was a man of great principle; he always kept himself clean and upright, so he decisively chose to refuse.

Well...

Well, Russell really wanted to close this lucrative deal, but Amelia's fangs were intimidating, and he didn't want to become a vampire.

Some might say that some kind of magical artifact can effectively block vampire fangs. Haha, these people are too naive; they only look at the surface.

It's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark!

The mouth you can see can be sealed shut, but the one you can't see...

In short, vampires are creatures you can only admire from afar; don't even think about getting serious with them!

For a moment, Russell thought a lot; divergent thinking has always been one of his strengths.

Amelia waited for a long time without receiving a reply from Russell, then frowned and asked again, "What exactly are you? A vampire or Werewolf? Where did the Church find you?"

Returning to reality, Russell noticed that Amelia had mentioned Werewolf, and after a moment's thought, he asked, "If you really want to win me over, does it really matter whether you're Werewolf or a vampire?"

Amelia was taken aback by these words. That's right, whether Werewolf or a vampire doesn't really matter!

While Amelia was momentarily stunned, Russell seized the opportunity to extract information. "Elder Amelia, I don't know much about the vampire race. Could you tell me how many high-ranking vampires like you there are?"

"This kind of thing should be common sense for your Church, don't you know that?" Amelia frowned slightly, becoming wary.

"The Church didn't tell me much about vampires, and I know very little about Werewolf either..." Russell was silent for a long time, then said in a low voice, "To be honest, I joined the Church for revenge!"

"?"

"When I was very young, my family was killed by dark creatures. The Church saw my potential and trained me to be a 'Vampire Hunter,' telling me that our enemies were vampires. But according to my own investigation, there seems to be more to the story than meets the eye, so I have been gathering information on vampires and Werewolf to find my true enemies!"

Russell's words had two meanings: they explained why he knew nothing, and they also showed that he was not of one mind with the Church and could not be won over.

Amelia, still somewhat skeptical, revealed a few insignificant details. "The vampire clan, including myself, has three elders. The other two are Marcus and Viktor..."

"As for the Werewolf, you don't need to gather intelligence on them anymore. The Werewolf clan was wiped out by us six centuries ago. Their leader Lucian, was killed, and the remaining Werewolf barely survived, their numbers dwindling after years of hunting..."

"Besides, they're far away in Europe, and there are no Werewolf in the America States, so they shouldn't be your enemies..." Amelia said, then casually added some negative comments about the Church: "In my opinion, your real enemy is most likely the Church. They're training you as a weapon, and they need you to be an orphan and have a mortal enemy..."

The Grand Elder: Marcus, Viktor, Amelia!

Werewolf Leader: Lucian!

Europe!

Russell didn't really listen to Amelia's last words, but he listed a few keywords in his mind and vaguely guessed the world he was in.

Underworld!

Russell recalls the plot... uh... there was a very pretty vampire girl, that's it!

Regarding his memories of the plot, he only had scattered fragments. If you removed the image of the beautiful female vampire, there wasn't much left. But coincidentally, there was a crucial clue about the World Quest: the source of the vampire bloodline— Marcus, one of the Grand Elder.

Take him down, and this World Quest will be complete!

It's a very easy task, comfortable and effortless. With a little planning, you can complete it smoothly while lying down.

Thinking of this, Russell was in a good mood and interrupted Amelia, saying directly, "I probably already know who my enemy is. Now, one last question, please answer seriously, as it concerns whether we can cooperate."

"That's how you found out?"

Amelia became suspicious again. Russell's behavior puzzled her. What could be deduced from a few ordinary pieces of information, which were not even considered secrets in the Church?

"I roughly understand..." Russell said perfunctorily, then asked seriously, "Elder Amelia, what is your relationship with the other two elders?"

Amelia was secretly pleased, but her expression remained unchanged. "Our relationship is just so-so, we're not close!"

"What if I were to kill one of them? Could we still cooperate?"

"Which one do you want to kill... wait, they can't possibly be your enemies. Even Viktor has been asleep for 100 years..."

"That's not important, since you two aren't really close anyway, are you?"

Amelia nodded. "Which one do you want to kill, Viktor or Marcus?"

Russell decisively said, "Viktor!"

Amelia remained silent. She was more wary of Marcus than Viktor. After a moment of silence, she said, "I can help you kill Viktor, but you must do it yourself. And after it's done, I need you to kill Marcus as well."

"Hehehe, Elder Amelia, your relationship is much worse than usual."

Amelia laughed too, "Like you said, it doesn't matter, does it?"

It's so refreshing to talk to smart people. The two looked at each other and smiled. As they smiled, Russell suddenly remembered something and looked Amelia up and down.

"What's wrong?"

Amelia sensed Russell's malice and her face showed displeasure. "If you want to strengthen the alliance, take off your hood first and let me see what you look like. If you're too ugly, then forget it!"

￣△￣

Why did it suddenly overtake me?

Russell forcibly snatched the steering wheel back from Amelia's hands and tapped the brakes. "Elder Amelia, how much difference is there in your strength compared to the other two elders? Are you being utterly defeated by them?"

In the story, this female elder and her subordinates were wiped out by a group of Werewolf, and even their blood was drained, showing how incredibly weak they were.

But if this terrible teammate is this powerful, then wouldn't Viktor and Marcus, who are so dominant, be incredibly strong?

Upon hearing this, Amelia's eyes flashed with annoyance. "Put away your contempt. I may not be as good as Marcus, but I'm confident I can beat Viktor."

Amelia is not as good as Marcus or Russell, but better than Viktor... This is probably exaggerated, with a certain degree of self-hypnosis and subjective beautification.

At most, it's a 50/50 chance, no more!

Russell recalled the film's plot, which was set against the backdrop of a battle between Werewolf and vampires—a war-torn world where anyone who dared to defy authority would fight. If Amelia were truly a fraud, rising to power through her beauty, she might have enjoyed temporary power, but it would never last.

Rather than the "pretty face" stereotype, Russell preferred to believe in logic. Amelia rose from a mere woman to become Grand Elder and held that position for a millennium, could not possibly be a weakling. Otherwise, she would have been overthrown by her subordinates and imprisoned in the basement long ago.

"Elder Amelia, is it possible... that your strength will decline significantly during this period?" Russell asked quietly.

"The vampire clan undergoes a power transition every hundred years. During the period before entering a deep slumber, I suppress my bloodline power in order to enter a deep slumber. After all, it is a two-hundred-year slumber, and the power remaining in my body is too strong, so I will awaken in advance."

Russell nodded upon hearing this and continued, "So now, have you suppressed your power?"

Amelia smiled dismissively, "What do you think? With you, the 'Vampire Hunter,' around, would I suppress my power and wait to die?"

Amelia's words made perfect sense, Russell was speechless!

"Alright, I've said enough. How long are you going to keep hiding? Pull down your hood; it's the least you can do to show respect to your allies!"

Russell: "..."

He didn't move, afraid that if he lifted the lid, Amelia would insist on solidifying the alliance!
