I started with the Ice-Ice Fruit, and Spider-Woman Gwen came after me.

But Hao Longtao had no time to pay attention to Thor.

Before the Avengers were launched, he didn't want to interfere too much with the development of these heroes.

Sensing the magical mark, Hao Longtao bypassed the Rainbow Bridge and entered a mysterious town in New Mexico.

Vlad Castle.

The T-Special Agent mercenary group escorted the blood coffin to the ancient manor.

The ancient buildings, perched atop the mountain peaks, are often shrouded in mist.

Even though they were all elite mercenaries, they still felt a slight chill in Vlad Castle.

"Everyone be careful and vigilant, something is wrong here."

Alex whispered instructions to the other team members.

Frank laughed and said, "540. This is Vlad Castle, one of the safest places in America."

Frank's tense heart relaxed at this moment.

He plotted against Hao Longtao, and the Vatican was destroyed.

The powerful figure, Lofi Vlad, personally summoned him back.

It is evident that Lofi Vlad was wary of Hao Longtao.

Of course, what truly puts pressure on the entire Vlad family is the current Vatican.

The Vatican has established monasteries and churches all over the world.

As for how much of the Vatican's power is hidden in these monasteries and churches, no one can say for sure.

With the Vatican under attack and frozen, the newly appointed pope will surely recall all the powerful priests and monks.

The Ice Demon will face a counterattack from all the forces of the Holy See.

This is a war.

Endless war.

Unless Hao Longtao truly wipes the Vatican off the face of the earth, there is only one way to resolve the war: kill Hao Longtao.

The Vlad family has another trump card.

They know who the murderer is.

An old man dressed in a black suit and with a full head of hair walked out of the castle.

Lofe Frank walked around the blood coffin, observing it carefully, and finally smiled.

“Indeed, this is the blood coffin of our Vlad family.”

Lofe Frank nodded to the butler behind him.

The housekeeper took out the phone and called the bank.

Soon, the members of the T-Agent Mercenary Group received payment for the operation in their overseas accounts.

The T-Agent mercenary group members finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This mission was narrowly successful but ultimately safe.

"Should you gentlemen rest at Vlad Castle for a few days, observe how the situation develops, and then formulate a response strategy?"

Frank asked.

Alex Haicheng exchanged glances with the other team members, then nodded.

"I want to know what exactly happened at the Vatican that night? And who exactly is that Chinese guy?"

Sandy Brandenburg looked at Lofe Vlad.

Lofe Flander sighed, "Hao Longtao is the Ice Demon, a superpowered individual who has recently risen to prominence in New York. You have all witnessed his power; even the Vatican would be frozen in his presence."

"Ice Demon?"

The outlaw, Inez, frowned slightly.

She seemed to have heard of the name before.

Oh right, it's that lecherous, foul-mouthed Deadpool Wade.

He said that this guy ruined one of his deals.

The man who hired him, Kim, was killed by an ice demon.

The manner of his death was gruesome.

"The freezing of the Vatican has had a huge impact. I hope the Vlad family will keep our employment with you a secret."

Sandy Brandenburg said with a serious expression.

Lofi Vlad smiled mysteriously.

No answer.

Just now.

Thick, dark clouds blocked out the sunlight in this area.

The fog that had been lingering around the mountain peaks and castles for years suddenly began to stir.

Large numbers of bats flew up from the abyss at the foot of the mountain.

It rushed towards the clouds.

Lofi Vlad's expression changed drastically.

"Enemy attack!!!"

Inside the castle, a large number of vampires emerged from their coffins and pounced towards the sky.

A streak of flame ripped through the sky, tearing apart the clouds.

Let the sunlight shine down from the sky.

The eerie black shadows flying in the sky turned into fireballs upon contact with sunlight, emitting painful howls before turning to ashes.

A figure descended from the sky and hovered over the blood coffin.

Hao Longtao stepped on the blood coffin, looked at the castle in front of him, and revealed a hint of mockery.

"I think this must be the financial family behind Wells Fargo."

The sound reverberated through the mountains.

Bats swarmed across the sky, once again obscuring the clouds.

It blocked the sunlight.

Meanwhile, vampires flapping their bat-like demonic wings continued to gather, surrounding the intruders.

"Mr. Hao, Vlad Castle welcomes you."

Lofi Vlad gestured for the vampires to stop.

“I don’t see any sincerity from the Vlad family.”

Hao Longtao looked down at the old man.

The old man in front of me is in very poor health, but he is just an ordinary person.

The fact that the Vlad family could control so many vampires with the commands of mortals gives you an idea of ​​how terrifying they were.

"The Vatican affair was all a misunderstanding. Frank misunderstood my instructions and acted on his own, causing you to be surrounded by the Papacy. This was my mistake."

Lofe Vlad apologized politely.

But Hao Longtao refused.

Instead, they focused their attention on the five X-Agents.

“Ignorance is no excuse. The fact that you’ve survived until now means you haven’t been thrown into the blood coffin by the Vlad family to be fed with ancestral blood parasites.”

Hao Longtao's words made Lofi Vlad's face darken.

"Mr. Ice Demon, we are partners. Are you trying to break with the Vlad family by doing this?"

Lofi Vlad has his own reasons for his confidence.

"The Vlad family has broken ties? I know who you are, but you annoy me."

Hao Longtao looked coldly at the old man in front of him.

Vital signs indicate how bad the other person's health is.

However, because he controls a large amount of resources, he can even find replacement organs at will, allowing him to live longer.

“Alex, kill him, and I’ll pay you a billion dollars.”

Lofi Vlad coldly issued the order.

At the same time, a large number of vampires pounced on him like ghosts.

"Walk!!!"

Alex Hazen shoved the outlaw Inez away.

He took out his two guns and unleashed a barrage of attacks at Hao Longtao.

Alex's mental strength told him that if they didn't leave now, everyone would perish at the hands of the Ice Demon.

The vampire's hideous face drew ever closer.

A stench hit me.

This greatly displeased Hao Longtao.

"Flame-Flame Fruit. Heat Ray!!!"

His eyes focused on flames, which he continuously compressed before unleashing them.

As far as the eye could see, flames raged.

Alex Haicheng's dual pistol bullets kept raining down on Hao Longtao.

But it passed right through his body.

It cannot cause any damage to Hao Longtao's elementalized flame body.

Members of the X-Agent mercenary group drew their weapons, aimed at Hao Longtao's vitals, and fired continuously.

This immediately enraged Hao Longtao.

Raise your finger, and Shiranui is activated.

Flames shot out from his fingers like bullets, instantly suppressing the firepower of the X-Agent mercenary group members.

The vampire, with his ghostly agility, finally broke through the heat rays' firepower.

They pounced on Hao Longtao.

Bang~~~

His entire body transformed into a giant fireball.

"Do your own fault, don't live."

Hao Longtao smiled slightly.

Suddenly, a giant fire serpent appeared in his other hand.

Flame-Flame Fruit. Fire Serpent Coil!!!

The enormous fire serpent roared and pounced on the swarm of vampires.

Wherever it goes, it turns into a fireball.

When all the vampires in the sky had died and turned to ashes.

Hao Longtao stopped his attack and looked at the X-Agent Mercenary Group.

“We’ve always kept to ourselves. But your attack on me is the biggest mistake you’ve ever made.”

Hao Longtao's body turned into flames and dissipated.

It coalesced again and appeared behind Alex Hazen.
