At the same time, in Parid's room.

Blatter sat quietly in his chair, while Parred stood in front of him. Seemingly a little afraid to face him, Pared took two steps back and forth before he couldn't help but say, "Blat, oh, Blatter... Are you mad at me? ”

"Nope."

"You must know that although Jude is your 'brother', he is not actually related to you. Blat, we have lost ground in the Inhuman Alliance, and now the Bloods are facing an unprecedented crisis, and for the sake of all the clansmen, I have to find a way to eliminate all possible threats, do you understand? ”

"So, is that why you're still making that thing?" For the first time, Blatter looked up.

couldn't help but take a step back, and Pared immediately frowned: "You saw it?" ”

Brad nodded, "Congratulations, it seems to be almost finished." ”

How can you not hear the sarcasm in his words? Pared suddenly became agitated: "Blatter, please understand your position!" Admit it or not, you are my son, you belong to the entire Kamarilla Alliance, and you will lead our Bloodline into the most glorious times in the future! ”

"What about Jude? Isn't he, too? ”

After a pause, Pared angrily covered his heart with his right hand: "Why? Blatter? Why? Why do you always have to live up to my painstaking efforts? Why do you always have to think of yourself as an outsider? Why are you always so worried? Why? Isn't everything I've done enough? ”

For a moment, Parid's plea sent a flash of eagerness in Blatter's eyes. Soon, however, this eagerness disappeared into the bottomless deep blue of his eyes.

He stood up and said calmly, "Do you want to unify the blood clan so much?" Then I'll help you get rid of Jude, just promise me not to make that horrible thing again. In the end, it will be destroyed, not just the enemy. ”

Unexpectedly, Blatter would suddenly say this, Pared was stunned: "But you have always been to Jude..."

"Promise me."

"Okay... I promise you. ”

"I hope you remember this promise, my... Father. ”

The first time, Blatter uttered the word, but before Pared could savor the sudden surprise, Blatter opened the door.

When Parid was the only one left in the room, a voice suddenly came from behind him: "Congratulations. ”

"Congratulations? But I feel that Blatter is getting farther and farther away from me..."Pared smiled bitterly.

"Far? He already calls you father, and you should know how difficult it is to be with this child's character. As he spoke, the comer walked slowly.

The person who came was a tall old man with elegant manners. At this time, if there was a third person around, they would be extremely surprised that this old man was actually the former representative of the former Blood Clan to the Inhuman Alliance, Elder Maloney. Wasn't he already killed along with the elders of other clans in the human race to encircle and suppress the elders?

However, it is true that he appeared in front of Pared at this moment, could it be that the one who died that time was a stand-in at all? So how many secrets are hidden behind the blood clan?

Then Pared sighed: "I know this child's character too well, and the reason why he is willing to call me that is just to remind me not to forget what I promised him." ”

After a pause, Maloney asked, "Did he notice anything about us?" ”

Pared shook his head: "No, not yet. I was going to explain to him after a while that you were still alive and what we were going to do, but now I can't let him know about it. ”

"Justice, Blatter is the final key in this matter, and he must understand what he needs to do."

Pared smiled: "Of course I know this, but the time is not ripe for now, so it's better to hide it from him for the time being." Hopefully, if he can kill Jude this time, he will change his mind. ”

After a pause, he said again: "The matter of the blood beast, Blatter already knows, can you pause for a moment?" ”

Maloney nodded: "Yes, it has entered the final debugging stage, and it will not have a big impact." The whereabouts of the other piece are known, and I've sent additional personnel to try to recover it before the Inhuman Coalition notices. With the addition of the one still in the hands of the Holy See, there are now twelve parts that can be confirmed. ”

Pared smiled with satisfaction: "Very good, except for the Holy See, in the hands of the group of fools in the Alliance, I can take it back at any time." Don't act rashly now, find a way to stabilize the impatient Holy See and find the last piece as soon as possible. Hmph, I'm going to let you know who the winner is! ”

"Do as I am told." Maloney bowed deeply and quietly retreated.

"Blatter, don't let me down." After a while, Parid sighed.

*******************************************************

Blatter walked downstairs, where Zhang Lie was leaning against a pillar in the hall and waiting for him.

Seeing Blatter, Zhang Lie beckoned to him: "Let's go." ”

Blatter raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Come on, I know you're going with me." Zhang Lie laughed, turned around and left.

Looking at Zhang Lie's back, Blatter couldn't help but show a smile, and he quickly followed.

"Hey, Blatter, are you going to blame me?" Suddenly, Zhang Lie asked.

"What am I to blame you?"

"Huh." Zhang Lie smiled to himself, and stretched exaggeratedly: "Blatter, why don't you change it?" Your uncontrollable temper will only bring you pain. ”

Quickening his pace and walking past Zhang Lie, Blatter took the lead in going out: "Are you apologizing to me for doing this?" ”

"Okay, I didn't say what I said just now." Zhang Lie also went out immediately: "I am also forced to do so this time, and I will definitely compensate you in the future." But I know very well that what you decide must have your own considerations, and you will not be led by the nose. ”

Step out the door and you'll be greeted by an endless stream of neon lights stretching into the sky.

***********************************************************

A day later, the city of Chicago, USA.

In a café on the street, Zhang Lie and Blatter looked out the window at the crowded street. Due to the fact that the Demon Feast has always been good at stealth, Pared was unable to provide more information, and only said in general terms that the Demon Feast Alliance had been very active in the city recently, and the others could not be determined.

"Did you find anything?" Zhang Lie asked. In order not to leak the news, the two came secretly without informing the members of the alliance in the city, and everything had to be found by Blatter.

Blatter's astonishing handsomeness attracted the attention of all the women in the café, and the sight of him had not left him since he entered. Although Zhang Lie also has a charm that attracts women, compared with Blatter, basically no one notices him anymore.

Ignoring the burning gaze around him, Blatter simply turned his head outward. Hearing this, he shook his head: "No, the aura of the blood clan in this city is surprisingly small. ”

Zhang Lie couldn't help but smile bitterly: "If I come alone, it's a question of whether I can meet Jude." ”

"It's always been difficult for us to grasp the traces of the Demon Feast, but there are too few clans here, which makes people suspicious. I have a hunch that we will have something to gain. Blatter said indifferently.

Zhang Lie sighed, turned back and sat back in the chair: "I hope it can be as you said." ”

At this moment, Blatter's eyes closed slightly, as if he had discovered something. The sensitive Zhang Lie immediately caught this information, and he couldn't help but lean over and whispered, "What's wrong?" ”

"There's a 'slave' of the feast there." Blatter gestured down the street.

Looking in the direction of his finger, he saw a man in a suit and leather shoes striding out of a building opposite. The term "slaves" does not refer to blood servants, but to humans who envy the power of vampires. After receiving the approval of the Bloodline, they swear allegiance and voluntarily provide blood for their owners to suck in order to one day get a kiss and become a real vampire.

Not only the Demon Feast, but Kamarilla also has many slaves, and on the one hand, they exist as reserve members of the Bloodline, and on the other hand, vampires will also do many things through them that are inconvenient.

"Let's go, I hope this guy can provide some useful information." Zhang Lie got up suddenly.

Under the reluctant gaze of the women, Blatter and Zhang Lie left the café. Blending into the crowd on the street, the two followed the man far away, towards the other end of the city.

Half an hour later, in a typical middle-class neighborhood on the outskirts of the city, the man walked into one of the houses. Seeing him enter the room, Zhang Lie and Blatter also left the car.

"There are two members of the Demon Banquet in the room, but they are just rookies, and they don't even hide their aura." Blatter whispered.

"Looks like this fishing is about to pay off." Zhang Lieha smiled and strode over.

The whole house is wrapped in thick curtains to block out all sunlight. When Zhang Lie kicked open the door, the three people in the room looked at him in astonishment. In addition to the servant, there were two young men dressed as hippies, dressed in leather garments covered with iron nails, with colorful hair and thick eyeshadow and lipstick.

The sunlight followed in, and the bare skin of the two men seemed to be burned by fire, and immediately smoked and foamed. They let out a terrible scream at the same time, and sprang into the depths of the house like ghosts.

Blatter also walked in, and he closed the door casually, and the room was slightly darkened, and the dim light was once again shrouded. By this time the slave man was speechless.

Drugs such as marijuana and cocaine were scattered on the table, and a briefcase was ajar with several blood bags inside, apparently the slave was delivering food to his master.

"Who are you?" With a vicious voice, the two vampires slowly emerged from the darkness. They were all cautious, obviously afraid that Zhang Lie would open the door again.

Walking to the middle of the room without any scruples, Zhang Lie picked up the bag of blood and smelled it, and threw it into the box. He shrugged at the two of them, "It's nothing, I just wanted to ask you about something." ”

Looking at each other in amazement, the two vampires couldn't imagine that the comer was so arrogant, and one of them couldn't help but giggle: "I don't care if you're a hunter or whatever, but obviously, you don't seem to have long to live." ”

Zhang Lie couldn't help but be disappointed, it was obvious that these were two rookies who had just accepted the kiss for a long time, and they couldn't even see his identity as a monster. What kind of information can a small character like this dig up?

He looked back at Blatter, who was looking closely at a copy of Picasso's painting on the wall, without saying anything. Sighing, Zhang Lie knew that Blatter probably had the same idea.

At this moment, a vampire suddenly bent down and jumped, and he had pounced on top of Zhang Lie's head in an instant. didn't even look back, Zhang Lie grabbed it with his backhand, pinched the opponent's neck, and lifted him in the air.

Feeling that the other party's hand was like a red-hot iron tong, the vampire instantly lost all his strength, and his body collapsed after two struggles. didn't even have the spirit to talk nonsense with this guy who didn't know whether to live or die, Zhang Lie's five fingers grabbed into his neck, and the vampire screamed miserably, and instantly exploded into a cloud of flying ashes.

Only then did Zhang Lie turn around and casually dust off the dust on his shirt: "Then let me ask you now, where is the headquarters of your Demon Banquet in this city?" ”

"I—I don't know." Only then did he realize the power of the comer, and the remaining vampires were already terrified.

Looking at Zhang Lie, who was approaching, the vampire said in a trembling voice: "You... Don't come here... Wow! Suddenly, he let out a wild cry and rushed to the window behind the house in desperation.

He was so frightened that he would rather choose the exposure of the sun than face Zhang Lie.

However, before he had taken three steps, he saw a shadow on the ground roll up on him as if it had come to life. The vampire suddenly felt that the sky was spinning, and there was a flower in front of him, and when he saw it clearly, Zhang Lie's face was close at hand.

The sudden fright made him speechless, but he was constantly shivering by the shadow hanging in the air, and the cold sweat soaked his entire spine in an instant, like a sheep facing a tiger.

"Tell me, where is the headquarters of your Demon Feast here?" Zhang Lie patted him.

The vampire was almost fainting, and he stammered, "I—We've wandered here... The people above don't intend to accept us at all... Believe me, I really don't know anything..."

Zhang Lie couldn't help frowning, and after a while, he turned around and drank: "Xiaoyu! ”

Without waiting for his command, Xiao Yu had already emerged from Zhang Lie's body, floated into the air and sank down violently, and had already immersed himself in the vampire's brain. A few minutes later, she came out again.

"Brother Zhang Lie, he really doesn't know." Xiaoyu said to Zhang Lie regretfully.

With a sigh, Zhang Lie motioned for Xiaoyu to return to his body, and then said to Blat: "Blat, what should he do?" ”

Blatter turned his head to look at him: "This is a secret operation, why do you want to ask me?" ”

This is the contradiction in Blatter's personality, although he will try to avoid all possible fights, but he will not be soft-hearted when carrying out his mission, even if he is of the same kind.

With a slight tightening of the five fingers, the shadow that wrapped the vampire suddenly shrank inward, as if it had been wiped away by a board brush, and the vampire had gradually been swallowed by the shadow, and disappeared completely in a moment.

When Zhang Lie glanced back at the slave, he had almost completely collapsed.

Having done something for the vampire for so long, the man has seen a lot of bloody scenes. However, what broke his will was the kind of decisiveness and arrogance that Zhang Lie inadvertently revealed when he killed the vampire. It's as if you know that the other party will kill you without hesitation, there is no room for any turnaround, who can not be afraid?

"No, don't, please let me go!" The man huddled in the corner, screaming desperately.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, he cried out like a straw: "I, I know something, I tell you, tell you everything, please let me go, don't kill me!" ”

Driven by fear, he quickly said what he knew: "Two days ago, I was ordered to deliver letters to several Bloods. I don't know the specifics, but it seems like tomorrow night on the top floor of the Kempin Hotel in the city center, there's going to be a party. This gathering was very secretive, and all the invitations were delivered in the form of letters, and these two guys were not qualified to be invited at all. As for what kind of banquet it is, I don't know..."

"Thank you." Zhang Lie smiled slightly, and flicked his fingers at him.

His complexion changed, the man covered his heart violently, and the man slowly curled up and fell to the ground, out of breath for a moment.

Zhang Lie pondered for a moment: "Tomorrow night?" It seems that I have to go and see it first. ”

Brazz nodded: "The members of the Demon Feast are very careful, and they usually don't have contact with others. It must be a big deal to be able to get them together, and I don't know if Jude will be there. ”

"Let's go, we'll find out tomorrow night." Zhang Lie opened the door and walked out, and at the same time threw a fireball into the house with his backhand.

By the time the two left, the entire house had been surrounded by raging flames.
