"I am very glad that you lot accepted my invitation. Honestly, I had my doubts concerning whether you'd take me seriously.." Aiden leaned back."Just like you might've heard, I made a small-scale sweep in Fenris City, getting rid of.. some trash.." Aiden intently focused his gaze on the Mercenaries as he spoke. "Unfortunately my efforts ended up bringing more harm than good. The sudden shift in the power dynamic caused major changes and complications that I can only describe as nerve wrecking.." "Unfortunately as the Leader of Fenris City underworld, I cannot carelessly lash out because such actions would cause serious consequences.." Orlock sniggered. "Your point exactly is?" "It's exactly what you think. I want you lot to help me maintain the peace in Fenris City.." Pft! The Mercenaries present could no longer reel it in as they burst into a fit of laughter. As for Aiden, he calmly watched them, appearing like he couldn't hear their mocking laughter. "You want our help? isn

"As an Envoy of Monarch Maestro, it's my responsibility to punish you for your disrespectful actions.." the hearts of the Mercenary Bosses gladdened when they saw mop head rise up to the occasion. "Oh. And here I was thinking that you were just going to let others do your dirty work for you.." Aiden clicked his tongue as he keenly observed the other party. —[Analysis has been activated!] "Oh? a Vampire Duke and a Delta Lord Lightning Magi.." he mumbled in an almost inaudible tone as the power level of Mop Head was stripped bare before him. "You were right though. I am completely green regarding how Kaine or Bart ran things. However I've heard about this Monarch Maestro and also the special ceremony to cement their status as Vampire Barons once either one of them won the gang war.." for the first time, Aiden rose up on his feet. "Apparently, they were supposed to consume the blood of an Ascendant Vampire?.. considering you called yourself an envoy of Monarch Maestro, there's only

"Earlier you expressed your confusion when I considered your age as a weaknesses.." Mop Head finally completed his series of warm-up exercise. The sound of pages flipping echoed sharply as an intricate but magnificent hex pattern slowly began taking shape behind him. "Unlike what the public thinks of us.. we Vampires are the perfect species capable of a near limitless evolution.." Mop Head clenched his fist, causing the hex pattern behind him to explode into multiple fragments that flew towards his right fist, encasing it in a layer of lightning gauntlet pulsating with terrifying bolts of lightning. However this time, his lightning appeared to be encased in a halo of translucent light, causing it to emit an even more volatile pressure. "Unlike the human race whose bloodline merely grants them a temporary increase to the damage of their attributed techniques, we Vampires are built different. Whether we are Noseferatus or Dhampirs, we are capable of accessing a special form know

—[Battery Level: 0%] —[Sand Clone has been activated!] Borrowing the diversion brought by the Lightning Spinning Kill Hex, Mop Head closed in on Aiden as he ruthlessly clawed towards the right side of his chest. Like hot knife tearing into butter, the upper part of his wrist easily pierced right into Aiden's chest. However Mop Head didn't feel the slightest satisfaction. Instead his expression warped into one of horror as he noticed the tissues around Aiden's chest suddenly began to constrict. No matter how he tried, he couldn't pull out his right hand that seemed to have been stuck. "Ka-boom" a couple feet away, a tunnel appeared across the ground revealing Aiden who calmly emerged from it while snapping his fingers. "You litt--" Mop Head's pupils constricted as a berserk pressure suddenly surged out from Aiden's sand clone which exploded the next split second, resulting in a powerful shockwave that sent Mop Head flipping through the air while vomiting a mouthful of blood in the

"Has the joint transmission been successfully connected to the online portals?" "Yeah Sir.." "Good.." Investigator Wales nodded his head in satisfaction as he calmly walked across a dimly lit passageway. Besides him was a female hugging what seemed to be a digital tablet, against her chest. Occasionally the both of them would encounter a couple Sentries who would respectfully exchange pleasantries with Investigator Wales. Finally, the duo arrived before a wall, whose walls clearly shone with an intricate runic pattern. Stepping forward, Investigator Wales placed his hand across the palm sized depression. "Entry Confirmed.. two stars Special Investigator.. Bilbo Wales.." a robotic voice echoed as the wall split apart, revealing a brilliant light that enveloped Investigator Wales and his Assistant. When the light finally died down, the duo found themselves standing before twelve large plasma floating screens within a large hall brightly luminated. However they were not alone
