Completely unaware of China, thousands of miles away, an extremely dangerous figure is coming towards him. At this time, Blatter was discussing with Zhang Lie and Mark about dealing with Jude.

"I believe that I have sent it to Jude through a special channel within the Blood Clan, so that he can meet in the downtown area in two days." Looking at the note written in the Bloodline script in his hand, Blatter said to the two of them.

When they met during the day, Jude had to come alone, and there were no vampires to protect him. As long as Jude shows up, with the strength of the three of them, it will not be difficult to capture him.

Looking at the bright sun hanging outside the window, Zhang Lie couldn't help but say, "Is the meaning of the trap too strong?" ”

Mark picked up the parchment roll on the table and shook it: "That's because you don't know the importance of this thing. This sheepskin is no different from the crown on the king's throne to the members of the Demon Feast, and if Jude really has the ambition to dominate the entire blood clan, he will definitely not sit idly by and let it fall into the hands of others. ”

Blatter also nodded: "Mark is right, that's exactly what happened. ”

"That's good." Zhang Lie said and stood up: "Then the day after tomorrow, we will act according to the plan." ”

Downtown Chicago's business district is a vast area of shopping malls, entertainment venues, and parks. Every day it is crowded and very busy.

Near the famous Peace Square in the business district, some of the tallest buildings in Chicago are all here. Around the square, these tall buildings are like a huge fence, and even the sunlight can only squeeze through the cracks between them.

However, although the sunlight is scarce, he is not afraid that vampires will dare to venture out. At this moment, Zhang Lie and Blatter were pretending to be tourists, waiting for Jude's arrival by the fountain in the center of the square.

Mark didn't show up, but Zhang Lie clearly knew that he was watching the situation somewhere nearby. Eye-catching, Blatter also deliberately wore a pair of wide sunglasses.

Tourists taking pictures, children laughing and running, pet dogs walking leisurely with their owners, hawkers holding handfuls of colored balls and dressing up as clowns... Under the sun, it forms a vibrant picture.

Blatter looked at everything around him calmly, not knowing whether it was envy or emotion, and his face, which was half covered by sunglasses, did not show any expression. Pale skin, cold people, look so out of place.

"These sunglasses don't deserve you, brother." Suddenly, a voice came from behind the two.

Hearing this, Zhang Lie and Blatter turned around at the same time. Behind them, next to a faint rainbow of mist from the fountain, Jude stood quietly smiling.

He was still so handsome, his soft blonde hair seemed to compete with the sun in the sky, and his face was delicate and fair, like an angel's face, and he had a handsomeness that did not belong to the world. With his appearance, it seemed that the entire splendor of the square was taken away by him, and all the men and women around him looked at the young man with distraction.

Jude looked at the two calmly with an innocent soft smile, his eyes as gentle as a clear lake. Who would know that this boy is in charge of one of the most vicious vampires?

Noticing a well-behaved little girl he was holding in his hand, Blatter frowned and said, "Let her go." ”

"Why do you have such an expression when you meet, brother?" Jude smiled slightly and pulled the little girl closer to him: "Aren't you happy to see your brother at all?" ”

As he spoke, his slender fingers pressed lightly against the artery on the side of the girl's neck, as if to remind the two of them not to act rashly. The girl was at Jude's mercy without a hint of reaction.

If it was Zhang Lie, he would never care about the life of a child, but he knew that Blatter would never want to hurt the innocent, so he could only hold back his intention to do it.

"Brother, brother, did you forget what we said when we met for the first time?" Jude stared at Blatter and slowly took a step: "Have you decided to break with your brother?" ”

Not as gaffe as the first time they met, Blatter appeared very calm: "No, I didn't. ”

"No?" Jude couldn't help but sneer: "So you and this dirty and savage guy snatched our holy relics just to meet me here?" ”

Looking at Jude with sad eyes, Blatter sighed, "Jude, you have gone too far, far beyond your control. Come back with me, to the Justice, and I'll keep you safe. ”

I don't know how long Blatter thought about this proposal, anyway, it was the first time Zhang Lie heard it. However, he was not alarmed by Blatter's impromptu change, because he knew that Jude would not be able to agree.

Sure enough, as soon as Blatter's words fell, Jude teased, "Who do you think you are?" Saints, or compassionate monks? When the entire Bloodline was looked down upon for the stupidity of the Alliance and hunted down by humans, it was only me, and I stood up. I gather my scarred people and call them to fight back against human oppression. At this time, our father, and that Camarilla, what are they doing? ”

Jude's emotions were stirring, his eyes sparkling, and he spoke in the language of the Bloodline: "Why are you accusing me? Who are you to accuse me? Even though I was on the wrong path, I was brave enough to stand up and go on. And you, what about you? Fear, hesitation, speculation, trembling under the blows of humanity... Should the great bloodline be buried in the hands of a group of inactive old men? No! Only me, I can save the Bloodline. Not just the Bloods, I will make my Race stand on the pinnacle of this planet, and I will regain the glory that the Bloods have dreamed of for thousands of years! ”

The impassioned words were not at all like what a teenager could say. However, Jude's aggressive speech was like the sharpest weapon, making Zhang Lie involuntarily feel the power of it. If it weren't for his usual calmness and determination, I am afraid that he would have been instigated by him.

To be recognized by all the members of the Demon Feast, Jude does have his strengths. At least in the face of his questioning, Blatter, who is not good at arguing with words, cannot refute it at all.

The situation here has attracted the attention of many passers-by, but because they don't understand it at all, and Jude and Blatter are so dazzling, everyone thinks that this is a secret filming location of a certain movie, and they don't think it's unusual.

Taking a step closer, Jude reached out and said to Blatter in a seductive, almost dreamlike voice, "It's still too late, join me, brother." Together, we will lead the Bloods in the final crusade and achieve the final glory and power. Humanity is but an insignificant stumbling block on our path to greatness, and the rest of the inhuman race will grovel before us, and even our people will prostrate at our feet. Only you, you are different, brother, only you and me, are the most eternal existence. ”

"So—" Jude's hand almost touched Blatter's fingertips, "grabbing my hand like holding your trusty weapon." The Bloodline will stand on the pinnacle of eternity because of our union. ”

It has to be said that Jude's words are more incendiary than a thousand of the best warriors. Under his encouragement, Blatter, who has always been calm and constant, can't help but show longing and excitement on his face. It's like someone has put the best picture in front of them, who can not be moved?

Blatt can.

"If what you say is true, my brother, why do you still use 'seduction'?" With a soft sigh, Blatter took off the sunglasses off his face.

Seduction is a skill unique to the Bloodline. Using his handsome appearance and some little tricks to manipulate his voice, movements and expressions, people can be involuntarily bewitched by it. Don't underestimate this ability, if used properly, it will have unexpected effects.

Jude, however, was presented with a pair of eyes that were calmer than the deep sea.

At this moment, Zhang Lie knew that Blatter had far surpassed the original Blatter. If it was Blatter in the past, he might not be moved by Jude's words, but he would hesitate, he would struggle, and he would suffer. Like a deep well, throwing stones will stir up waves, but eventually it will be calm.

But now he won't, maybe after the battle of the Vatican, he has gone through too much pain and struggle. Today's Blatter is like the endless sea, no matter how big a stone you throw, it is only insignificant compared to the whole sea. Even if Jude's words had a tenfold inflammatory effect, they would not impress him in the slightest.

Oh, no, no, such a Blat, it shouldn't be Blat. When his feelings had become pale and lifeless as his appearance, hadn't this handsome body had completely lost its soul?

No, of course not. The innate fiery feelings cannot be cooled no matter what, just as Anne will never lose her stubbornness, and Beneath Blatter's cold exterior will always be a burning heart that beats at a poop.

It's just that now he can suppress this feeling to the deepest part of his body and soul, and he will no longer reveal it easily. Because of his position and identity, this outpouring, even a little, brings pain.

And what about Zhang Lie? Was he able to remain unmoved for the same reason? No, he is fundamentally different from Blatter, Zhang Lie doesn't need to hide his feelings, on the contrary, he knows his **** very well and can go all out for it.

If Blatter is a calm sea, then the sea in Zhang Lie's heart has set off monstrous waves because of his own ***. Nothing in the outside world can stir up a single inch in it.

This is the **** that can bring strength, and it is also the greatest motivation to spur people towards the goal. However, success and failure are also due to the fact that they are in the middle of the line, and what they hold is nothing more than their personal mastery.

Those who can drive away the servants will be successful; Let the elders be nurtured, and they will eventually be counterattacked.

And Zhang Lie has unwavering confidence in this.

The expression, which was still hotter than fire one moment, has cooled down the next. Jude flicked Blatter's hand and stepped back: "It's a pity, I thought you should be sober after all these days." Who knows that you are still so stupid, have you been brainwashed by those old men? ”

Blatter's calmness made Jude's heart agitated. Shaking his head, Blatter said, "No, on the contrary, I am very sober, so I know that you have gone wrong." Believe me, we can't win the human race, and the ultimate holy war you dream of is just letting the entire blood clan bury you. ”

"Funeral? So now, do we have any hope of survival? Jude teased.

"No, it's not just war that is the ultimate way out..."For some reason, when he said this, Blatter glanced at Zhang Lie intentionally or unintentionally.

Jude had a very amused expression: "This is really strange, brother, I always thought that you had expectations for humans because of your soft heart. I didn't expect your mind to reach such a stupid point. What do you think we can do but war? Do we pray for humanity to give us a chance to live, or do we make peace with them? ”

This time, Blatter didn't speak, and apparently, he acquiesced to Jude's statement.

"Hmph, are you out of the way?" Jude sneered, "My brother, this is the last time I'll call you that." ”

As he spoke, the softness in his eyes vanished, and a coldness like ice and iron gradually appeared: "If you are willing to continue to live in the shadow of humanity, then it is up to you, Blatter; If you're going to throw away the glory of the Bloodlines and be a cringing rat, you're up to you, Blatter; If you're going to unite all the people against me, it's up to you, Blatter. Because we are no longer brothers, and we will be strangers in the future, and I will use all means to take your life and achieve ultimate perfection. You and I are just two halves fighting with weapons. ”

"So," Blatter looked up, a look of determination in his eyes, "I'm going to stop you." ”

After saying this, Blatter looked at Jude quietly, and behind his calm and waveless eyes, God knows how much sadness flowed. After all, these words represent his last "kind", or "relative", in this world, and completely break with him.

However, this was not an option for him. Like Jude, he has things to carry. Jude wants the entire Bloodline to be buried as a companion to his ambitions, so Blatter must stop him.

Why, why Blatter? Why did he always get this in the first place?

Cannibalism, is there anything more painful than this? And this suffering will only end when one of them dies at the hands of the other. No, maybe it will last forever...

Glancing at Zhang Lie coldly, Jude said: "Now that you can talk about the right thing, how can you return the 'Bible' to me?" ”

Glancing at Blatter, Zhang Lie smiled: "It's very simple, come with me." ”

"Where?" Jude couldn't help but ask.

Zhang Lie shook his head: "Don't worry about this, just do what I say if you want, the thing is naturally yours." ”

"Hmph, when I'm a three-year-old?" Jude's eyes flashed with mockery: "I refuse." ”

I know that your kid will not be obedient, Zhang Lie said secretly. Anyway, he didn't have such plans in the first place, and he didn't care. He was about to make a gesture for Blatter to act, when Jude suddenly turned around.

"Negotiations break down, no matter what you want to do, sooner or later I will ask you to hand over the Bible." As he spoke, Jude took the little girl by the way, turned his head and left.

This time the timing was wonderful, it was when Zhang Lie was about to send it, and he was a little overwhelmed for a while. The most surprising thing to him was that Jude actually said to leave, didn't he want to go back to the parchment at all?

"Wait, let her go—" Blatter stepped over to Jude.

"Do you want that?" Jude turned around abruptly and smiled strangely: "Then I'll give it to you!" ”

As he spoke, he grabbed the little girl's hand and threw her at Blatter. Instinctively catching it, Blatter was about to comfort her, but when he looked down, he saw that there was no life in the girl's empty eyes.

"It's... Puppet!? Blatter let out a low sigh.

The body in his arms was lifeless, only under Jude's control, it looked like a living person.

Jude giggled, "This is what I picked up from the road an hour ago." Surprised, right? How could I fool you, Blatter. ”

Shocked that something was wrong, Blatter tried to retreat, but it was too late. Hearing a bang, a violent explosion exploded in his arms, and in an instant, the wild soar with the power of the runes swept straight away.
