Li Ang looked down at Deacon and pressed his foot down a little harder.
"Can't kill you? I'll kill whoever I want!" Li Ang's voice was calm. "Didn't you say I was a yellow monkey who wasn't worthy of speaking to you?"
Deacon's body began trembling violently.
A few minutes earlier, he had been sitting on a barstool with a wineglass in hand. He was a vampire, one of the Frost Family's youngest direct-line heirs. Within the family's territory, even older vampires had to show him some respect.
He was used to looking down on humans, used to treating those mortals like livestock, like sheep on two legs.
But now, a human had him underfoot. Half his body lay shattered across the floor, and ashes and blood covered his head and face.
"I was wrong! Please!"
Deacon's voice broke. He began to cry, snot mixing with blood and smearing his face. The remaining vampires around them exchanged looks, but none dared step forward.
Li Ang grabbed Deacon by the head and lifted him up. Looking at Deacon's fangs, he had an idea.
He reached out, seized one of Deacon's fangs, and yanked it out!
With a wet squelch, blood spurted, and Li Ang now held material for a pendant.
Deacon paid no heed to the pain or the blood covering his face. He simply kept begging for mercy, all his earlier arrogance gone.
"Please let me go! I can give you money, okay? Please spare me! I'll do anything you want! Do you want me to suck your dick? I can suck your dick!"
Arrogant as he was, when had he ever experienced the fear of death, let alone such overwhelming defeat?
Li Ang merely said coldly, "You can die now!"
He was about to press down with his foot when, the next second, a woman's voice suddenly rang out. "If you don't want this bastard to die, stop!"
Hearing this, Li Ang turned to look. It was the noblewoman. She was drenched in blood, and the rain of blood had stopped.
She stood in a pool of blood, holding someone in her hand. It was Blade!
Confusion crossed Li Ang's face. By rights, Blade shouldn't have been this weak.
He was unbeatable in the movies, so why did he become such a scrub the moment he joined my team? Did turning white make him weaker? But wasn't he black?
Activating X-Ray Vision, Li Ang was startled. The blood inside Blade's body was boiling. Clearly, after being knocked to the ground earlier, he had drunk human blood, triggering some kind of reaction.
When Li Ang failed to answer for some time, the noblewoman's expression twisted.
Her once slender, elegant fingers pointed at Blade, her nails slowly lengthening until they pressed against his neck. "Hurry up!"
"Heh, are you fucking stupid? You think I'd spare him for some black bastard?"
Li Ang sneered and tilted his head as he looked at the noblewoman. "Besides, what makes you think you can threaten me?"
The moment he finished speaking, Bella, the noblewoman, and Blade all felt a sudden burst of pressure against their bodies!
The pressure came so suddenly that none of them could react. Bella was already accustomed to the sensation.
She offered no resistance and simply toppled into the pool of blood, even swallowing a few mouthfuls.
Blade and the noblewoman, however, were not used to it.
The noblewoman fell flat into the blood, her expression twisted with disbelief. "What did you do?"
She had never imagined that Li Ang could restrain her from a distance. All her plans had fallen through, and now she couldn't even leave.
Despair spread through her heart, quickly crushing her will to resist.
Pinned to the floor, she could only watch as Li Ang grabbed Deacon with one hand and gave a hard twist!
With a crack, Deacon felt his vision spin around, and what he saw was his own backside.
Then a searing sensation suddenly appeared in his chest. The fear of death instantly swallowed him. Defiance flashed through his eyes, and then his entire body exploded with a bang!
As ashes drifted down, the noblewoman's eyes widened. "It's over, it's over... Do you know what you've done? Wherever you hide from now on, the vampires won't let you get away!"
"That's wonderful." Li Ang walked over to Blade, whose entire body was pressed into the blood, though he kept his mouth tightly shut.
Seeing this, Li Ang withdrew the Gravity Capture Net. Blade immediately struggled to climb up. Beside him, the noblewoman didn't dare linger. She got to her feet and tried to run outside.
"Don't run!" Blade said, staggering as he tried to get up and chase her.
But he was too weak now. He couldn't stand at all.
Li Ang looked at Bella nearby. If Bella didn't act, then neither she nor that old woman had any reason to stay alive.
Feeling a chill, Bella immediately stood up.
Meeting Li Ang's scrutinizing gaze, Bella gritted her teeth. After weighing it over and over, she charged at the noblewoman.
Dying later was better than dying right now!
Having fought Blade and then been pinned down by Li Ang, the noblewoman was also at the end of her rope and couldn't run far.
Bella caught her before she even made it out of the bar, and the two immediately began grappling.
It was plain and simple, without techniques or spells, just two shrews cursing, pulling hair, and tearing at clothes.
Their fight was like smashing golden prize eggs, with equipment dropping nonstop!
Soon, Bella seized an opening and bit into the noblewoman's neck.
Li Ang saw the veins bulge in Bella's neck as she swallowed a stream of pure blood.
After being bitten, the noblewoman, who had still been struggling, grew weaker and weaker. Her body rapidly aged, and Bella only stopped when she had finally become a dried corpse.
In the pool of blood, Bella was covered in bloody filth. She stared blankly at the dried corpse as a strange feeling rose inside her.
When she turned her head, she saw the bar's lights blur Li Ang's outline and features. But in Bella's eyes, the blurrier he was, the more it stirred an urge within her.
Black markings appeared across her skin, then vanished.
Powerful strength surged from within her. She savored what Li Ang had done to her earlier. That overwhelming power filled her with longing.
She craved Li Ang and feared him. The closer she got, the harder her heart trembled.
That feeling intertwined with the pleasure of growing stronger, leaving her unable to stop. Savoring the sensation, she unconsciously began to move...
Yet all those changes within her heart looked to Li Ang like nothing more than Bella kneeling with her back to him, trembling all over for some reason.
"Pervert," Li Ang remarked, turning to Blade beside him.
"Hey, you okay?"
At Li Ang's question, Blade wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said coolly, "Yeah~"
Seeing Blade still trying to act cool despite having had his glasses knocked off, Li Ang rolled his eyes. "Yeah, my ass!"
Having confirmed that Blade was fine, Li Ang returned his attention to the voice he had heard earlier.
[Mission eight: Neither devil nor angel (completed)] [Mission rewards: 10 attribute points, one ten-pull, Heat Vision random attribute imbuement ×1 (bonus reward)] [Attribute drawn: Lightning!]
After confirming, Li Ang distinctly felt a tingling around his eyes.
What pleased him most was that the mission had informed him he had killed his second villain, bringing him another step closer to unlocking his chest cannon!
