CHAPTER 56 – THE DETECTIVE'S INITIATION
Scott sat in the chair across from Victor Hale, his eyes moving around the spacious office. He had barely been inside this building for an hour, yet he had already seen enough to realize that the organization was far larger than he had imagined.The underground facility was equipped with advanced technology, training grounds, medical rooms, and an armory filled with weapons designed specifically to kill vampires. It was nothing like the small secret group he had initially imagined when Adrian first told him about Black Cross.And now, he was sitting in front of the man responsible for running thus divisions.Victor leaned back in his chair, studying the detective with a relaxed expression."So, you're Scott. Adrian has told me a little about you." Scott glanced at Adrian, who stood beside the door with his arms folded."Hopefully, he didn't tell you all my secrets." Victor chuckled."Nothing too concerning. He mentioned that you're a detective who has spent quite some time investiga
CHAPTER 55: Do You Believe In Vampires Now?
The detective slowly regained consciousness, his head pounding as he struggled to make sense of his surroundings.Everything was dark, and for a moment, he couldn't tell whether his eyes were still closed or whether something was blinding him from seeing.He tried to move his arms, only to discover that they were restrained. His back pressed against something firm, and the uncomfortable position of his shoulders told him that he was sitting on a chair."You could have at least warned me before bringing him here," a woman said. Her voice carried a casual, almost playful tone, as though they were discussing something completely ordinary."Did you sedate him?" she asked the person she was talking to."The boss told me to bring him in, so I had to," he heard Adrian reply in a voice he recognized."That's a bit harsh, don't you think?" the female voice replied, but Adrian laughed."Do you want to guess who I learned that from?" Adrian asked."You learned from the best," Lirielle responded
CHAPTER 54: PROOF OF THE IMPOSSIBLE
CHAPTER 54: PROOF OF THE IMPOSSIBLEAdrian walked into the library with a bag slung over his shoulder. The place was relatively quiet, with only a handful of people scattered across the reading area.Some were busy studying, while others sat behind their desks with books open in front of them.He made his way upstairs, heading toward the section containing books on mythology and supernatural creatures.After scanning the shelves for a short while, he finally found what he was looking for. He pulled out a book, examined its cover briefly, and then headed toward an empty table near the window.After setting his bag down, Adrian took his seat, opened the book, and began reading.Five minutes passed before he heard footsteps approaching his table. Someone pulled out the chair opposite him and sat down without saying a word.Adrian slowly raised his eyes from the book.The man sitting across from him wore an all-black long coat. His hair was scattered and slightly unkempt, while the tired
CHAPTER 53: A PROMISE AT THE GRAVESIDE
CHAPTER 53: A PROMISE AT THE GRAVESIDE“See you on Monday, Adrian. Make sure you don't suddenly develop a fever or an unknown sickness before then,” Kellan joked as Adrian closed the back door and leaned through the driver's window.“Watch your mouth, man. You might be prophesying for yourself,” Adrian replied simply as they shook hands.“I'm sorry for the intrusion today. I really didn't expect her to show up all of a sudden and join us,” Adrian said, referring to Lirielle.“It's alright, man. She was a fun person to be around. It defeated the purpose of us bonding, but I had fun with her around. Plus, she paid for our stuff, so a win is a win,” Kellan said with a smile.“Hope you're not angry, Emily?” Adrian asked as he turned to her.“I am,” she said plainly, feigning anger.“If you want me to forgive you, then make it up to me.”“Most definitely. I'll do that,” Adrian replied.“Goodnight, Adrian,” Emily said and waved at him as he waved back.“Make sure Kellan walks you home and d
CHAPTER 52 — THE SHOPPING TRIP
After paying for their meals, the group left the restaurant and continued exploring the shopping district. Kellan wanted to visit an electronics store, while Emily wanted to look through a few shops selling accessories. Adrian had no particular destination in mind and simply followed them. That changed when they passed a clothing store. Adrian stopped in front of the display window and looked at the clothes on the mannequins. "What is it, man?" Kellan asked as he noticed Adrian. "My clothes are getting smaller." "Interesting. And here I thought clothes didn't grow smaller on their own," Kellan said as Adrian gave him a flat look. "Don't start." Kellan grinned. "Just admit you've been spending too much time admiring yourself in the mirror." "It's because I've been visiting the gym frequently, you idiot. My old shirts barely fit anymore." He had noticed the problem recently. His shoulders had broadened, and his chest and arms had become more muscular. Some of his shirts fel
CHAPTER 51: AN UNEXPECTED COMPANION
Lirielle pulled out the empty chair beside Adrian and sat down, making herself comfortable as though she had been part of their group from the beginning. She placed her phone on the table, removed the lollipop from the corner of her mouth, and glanced at the three people staring at her. "What?" she asked innocently. "Why is everyone looking at me like that?" Kellan blinked before looking at Adrian. "Bro, who is this?" "Her name is Lirielle. She's a friend of mine," Adrian replied with a sigh. "A friend?" Kellan repeated, raising an eyebrow as he turned toward Lirielle and extended his hand. "I'm Kellan, Adrian's best friend and the most handsome man at this table." Lirielle glanced at his outstretched hand before shaking it. "Really? Then I feel sorry for the other men in your life," Lirielle replied as Emily burst out laughing while Kellan slowly withdrew his hand with a smile on his face. "Wow. I like her already," Emily said. "That's because you haven't spent enough ti
