Built in the middle of the last century, the Rexler Tower is located in the center of Frankfurt, with a height of more than 370 meters and more than 90 floors, and is one of the most conspicuous landmarks in the city.

Caesar Tsmich sat by the floor-to-ceiling windows of the tall building, overlooking the night view of the city with brilliant lights, and a wicked smile appeared on his handsome face.

He is a domineering president, a billionaire, and a noble, promising viscount of the blood family.

The world is full of anomalies lurking behind the Veil, anomalous creatures born from an ancient past that history has not recorded, mysterious, evil, and little known.

Especially in the current world where science and technology are prosperous and the tide is mysteriously ebbing, no matter how powerful the aliens are, they cannot compete with guns, artillery, missiles and even nuclear weapons, and have to hide and lie dormant in dark corners.

Except for the Bloodline.

Thousands of years back, the Blood Clan, like other transcendent beings, was hunted down by the Holy See.

The witchers with iron swords of holy water and silver crossbow arrows hunt for eerie castles scattered all over Europe,

Piercing wooden nails into the hearts of "noble" bloods, like dragging dead dogs, dragged them out of the coffin and exposed to the sun until they turned into ashes.

In the most difficult time, the blood clan elders were nine out of ten, the bloodline of the thirteen clans was on the verge of extinction, and even the blood clan holy weapons such as rotten bracelets and spirit wands were seized by demon hunters and hidden in the hidden stone cellar.

Just as the remnants of the Bloods were desperate and attempting to launch a suicidal counterattack against the Holy See, a genius dissuaded the Race and proposed a new way of thinking to contend with the Holy See.

That's... Become a capitalist.

Under the leadership of this genius, the Bloods began to migrate en masse, out of the jungle castles, to Spain and Portugal, the first countries to emerge from feudal division.

The early stage of capitalism was mercantilism, and the most essential and fundamental demand of mercantilism was gold and silver.

The strong demand for gold and silver prompted Spain and Portugal to become the first kingdoms to explore across the ocean, and at this point in time, the blood clan played the role of sailors to make geographical discoveries, while spreading out to the outside world, preserving a part of the bloodline that was on the verge of extinction.

Because of the gold and silver brought back by the captains of the Bloods, the human rulers of Spain and Portugal were willing to turn a blind eye and allow them to survive.

Then, sensing keenly that mercantilism chasing only gold and silver could not accumulate wealth, the genius turned his attention to some more commercialized countries and regions.

Let's say, the Netherlands.

The Netherlands was originally a region of merchant cities, and the remnants of feudalism were not strong here.

Under the command of that genius, the Bloods hiding in the forest began to kidnap and raise some human children.

These human children will not accept the first embrace, but will accept the teachings of the elders of the blood clan as human beings, and learn the inheritance of the blood clan.

Under the personal education of that genius, he became a prominent scholar and businessman, created the early credit system and financial system in the Netherlands, and improved the money bank into a bank.

Subsequently, the genius allowed the bankers, guaranteed by the national credit of the Netherlands, to absorb idle money from all over Europe, amass huge wealth, build countless ships, and for a time became the world's center of shipping, finance and trade.

At this point, the Bloods were no longer the poor "kneeling" who cowered in gloomy castles, and they collected money through shipping and finance, provided protection money to the rulers of the feudal kingdoms of Europe, and even paid a large sum of money to the Holy See to beg for forgiveness.

For the sake of real money, the Demon Hunters of the Holy See also suspended the pursuit of the remaining bloodlines.

Then, the genius was keenly aware that although the Netherlands had become a coachman at sea, it had no special advantage over the European continent countries that had large areas of land and resources.

Capitalism itself is a huge flood that will wash away the feudal remnants of the dry ditches, but the flood itself cannot be stopped or controlled, it can only be channeled.

So, the Kindred turned his attention to Great Britain and France. Both countries had a strong thirst for gold and silver, and their approach was to encourage handicrafts that were higher than agriculture.

Due to the relatively narrow land area, the handicraft industry in the two countries is clustered, and the continuous expansion of overseas markets has increased the acceptance of products and further boosted the demand for production.

The genius of the blood clan was keenly aware that capital would naturally begin to seek the protection of social, economic, and political systems in order to open up space for survival, so he sought out talents among the young people of England and France, and manipulated them to carry out the first bourgeois revolution on the European continent, making Great Britain and France a sea and land power.

At this stage, the Bloodline no longer has to worry about survival - there are their disciples and protégés everywhere in the court, and the overseas colonies of the European continent also need the Bloodline to manage and coordinate.

But the genius of the blood clan was not satisfied, he believed that with the development of capital, capital itself would begin to seek new technologies and new forms of production organization.

As he had predicted, capital forced technological growth, triggering the Industrial Revolution, and making Great Britain a world hegemon.

Capitalism spread like a plague, the thirst for wealth replaced traditional beliefs, the divine kingship was dragged down from the altar, and even the light of the Holy See was obscured by the smoke and dust of the steam engine.

The Bloods became the owners of wealth, lending money to the kingdoms and using financial games to loot for wealth, even richer than the Holy See.

However, the birth of capital also gave birth to a monster called the "Red Ghost", who wandered across the continent and wandered in the areas where capital bloomed, and even the blood clan could not eradicate it - the red ghost itself has been the death knell of capitalism since its birth.

Sensing the tide of the times, a witcher of great talent betrayed the Holy See and went to the banks of the Volga River in Tsarist Russia to propagate his ideas in the most oppressed and vast country full of gray cattle.

Thought, thought cannot be destroyed, as long as there is a class system, there is exploitation, and there is oppression, the red ghost will definitely exist.

The Bloodlines could not tolerate the existence of something that threatened their free financial realm,

So they pulled all the forces of the whole of old Europe and tried to exterminate them.

They failed.

Only the mind can fight the mind, this slightly sloping witcher, with his followers, swept away everything in the old Tsarist Russia,

And through the Witcher's legacy, establish a committee of Demon Hunter squads called "Cheka" to resist assassinations from the Blood Elite.

After losing the blessing of money and organizational form, the Blood Clan is just a group of half-human, half-bat monsters with some force, and there is nothing they can do about the red ghosts that rise far away in the Far East.

If you can't kill it in the cradle, then you can annihilate it with dignity.

The Bloods are sowing chaos and smiling the seeds of struggle across the continent, spawning an unprecedented world war in an attempt to extinguish the Red Ghost with a torrent of steel.

Once again, they failed, not only failing to wipe out each other completely, but also allowing the Red Ghost to thrive in the war of fire and iron, igniting fires around the world.

Just when all the Bloods thought that the tide was over, the Bloodline genius stepped forward again, offering to manipulate freedom of speech through the media, and to use "ideas" and "slogans" to sow the seeds of chaos in regions that refused to accept the rules of the financial game.

Only thought can compete with thought.

The genius of the blood clan wants to use the media tools to promote the idea of freedom in the country ruled by the northern demon hunters.

For example, exchanging the enemy's valuable things for fakes and making them believe in these fake things.

To dispel the social nature of their literature and art, to detach their artists from the crowd, to make them not want to depict and understand what is happening within the masses of the people, and to make their literature, drama and cinema express and celebrate the worst emotions of man.

Violence, betrayal, all sorts of immorality, encourage recklessness and bribery.

exalting unprincipledness, bureaucracy and procrastination as virtues;

enshrine the pursuit of money as the truth, and ridicule honesty, decency, and perseverance;

Let the people who were originally united in the territory of the red ghost instinctively fall into suspicion, hostility, and hatred among themselves.

All these things should be cultivated in a subtle and imperceptible way, so that they can blossom into bright flowers.

Only a few people can guess or even understand what is going on, but the media tools under the rule of the Bloodline genius will manage to keep these people in a position of powerlessness, making him the object of popular ridicule, finding ways to slander them and declare them the dregs of society.

The Bloodline genius succeeded, and the Red Ghost collapsed on its own and vanished forever—what regrew from that pile of ruins was only the fruit of the Bloodline's ideology that had been poisoned by its birth at the beginning.

This is the history of the Bloods, from a group of bat monsters living in a jungle castle to the ruler who stands on top of the world today.

Caesar Tsmich sat on the sofa, glass in the palm of his hand, and his eyes were full of lights.

The surname of that blood genius is Tsmich.

His great-grandfather was the genius who saved the Bloods and allowed them to rule the world.

"One day, I will surrender the world to my feet."

Caesar Tsmich muttered, sipping the scarlet from his cup.
