He's in Marvel, working behind the scenes.

Everyone looked on in surprise, and saw him slowly walking over, saying in a deep voice, "Since the advent of time travelers, nothing in this world is surprising anymore. So don't think about things with the old mindset."

"That's true."

Banner nodded in agreement, then asked, "What's the situation on the Vampire Empire's side?"

"He said he knew nothing about it."

Fury narrowed his eyes and said, "Their reaction is too lukewarm. The guys who were expelled are messing around outside, and they don't seem worried about getting into trouble at all."

"what do you mean?"

"The Vampire Empire knows everything. Perhaps they were the ones orchestrating everything behind the scenes, plotting something."

"Are they crazy?"

Banner asked incredulously, "Their rampant hunting of humans could provoke attacks from humans. What could possibly drive them to such madness?"

"Perhaps they've gone mad, but perhaps this scheme will give them the resources to fight against humanity!"

In short, we cannot be careless.

As Fury spoke, he looked at Tina and said, "Tina, you will infiltrate the vampire empire tonight and find out the reason."

"Wait, Tina, she..."

"Understood, I will definitely complete the mission."

Tina readily accepted the order, then looked at Dr. Banner, who was trying to dissuade her, and smiled: "Don't worry, I've hunted many monsters and never failed."

"Hmph, so not failing means there's a possibility of failure?" Hawke said arrogantly, "If you guys are really impossible to deal with, then let me go with Tina!"

No, you'll mess things up if you go.

Fury thought to himself, but his face remained serious: "No, you have an even more important task."

"W-what mission?"

"Let's go to the Himalayas!"

……

Soon, night fell.

Most of the shops on the street were closed, and the street was deserted.

But Bishui Paradise remains a place of dazzling lights and bustling activity.

This is a bar, newly opened by the Vongola family.

Two well-dressed family members patrolled back and forth at the entrance to maintain security in and around the bar.

Suddenly, two dark figures descended from behind.

A flash of cold light, and the two family members fell silently to the ground.

As the two men fell, the light shone on them, revealing their silhouettes.

Those were ninjas completely clad in night clothes.

"Charge in!"

One of them made a gesture, and then the two of them rushed toward the gate together.

Chapter 162 The Balian Forces

The two ninjas were very fast; they covered a distance of more than ten meters in a single step.

But as they approached the gate, firelight shone from inside.

The flames grew brighter and brighter, until they burst open like daytime. The entire gate of the Azure Paradise, along with the walls on both sides, seemed to have been bombarded by missiles, and it exploded.

The two ninjas who happened to be at the door were blown to pieces and sent flying backward.

"Ouch, ouch, you used too much force!"

The two Vongola members who had been killed earlier stood up, and their figures began to change.

Height, clothing, and appearance are all distorted.

Finally, he transformed into a boy wearing a black leather uniform, an exaggerated frog hat, and with turquoise eyes and hair.

His tone was casual, and he dragged out the last word.

The other person was a middle-aged man, also dressed in a leather uniform, with blond hair and a small crown.

"Shut up, Fran."

The blond man wearing a small crown threw a throwing knife, which stuck into Fran's frog cat. He smiled and said, "If you hadn't been slacking off and had just used illusion magic on them, this wouldn't have happened."

"Hey, isn't capturing them Senior Bell's task?" Fran looked at him in surprise and said, "We agreed that I would provide cover while you made the arrests."

"Shut up!"

Bell threw another knife, which landed on the frog hat's head. He continued, "You need to use your own judgment when it comes to missions. Don't be so rigid!"

"Eh, could it be that just now, senior..."

"puff!"

The throwing knife struck again, embedding itself in the frog's hat and interrupting Fran's next words.

Bell was about to say something.

Xanx emerged with four other people.

"You two are both useless!"

Xanx stared coldly at them, the unspoken pressure causing cold sweat to bead on Bell's forehead, while Fran smiled like a child.

"See? Senior Bell got scolded."

"boom!"

Xanx raised his hand and fired a shot, piercing Fran's hat.

Fran quieted down as well.

"What should we do now?"

With his silver hair flowing down his shoulders and a handsome, cold face, Squalo glanced at the mangled corpse on the ground, then turned to Xanx. "If someone is dead, there's no way to interrogate them."

"Luslia, go and heal them."

"Well, no matter what, I can't bring the body parts back to life!" The person called Lusslia was a man wearing stylish sunglasses and sporting a green mohawk.

He made a delicate gesture with his fingers, and his voice was feminine.

When answering xanx, the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

"They're all useless trash!"

Xanx scoffed in annoyance, took a cigarette, and walked away, saying, "Go find the next one."

"Wait a minute, boss!"

At that moment, Levi called out to Xanx the last member of the Balian, a middle-aged man with spiky hair and eight umbrellas stuck in his back.

"Incredulous!" he exclaimed. "These two guys are still alive!"

"What are you kidding me...?"

Squalo was about to say it was impossible, but when he looked over, he saw the two ninjas who had been dismembered, their bodies and chests rising and falling slightly.

His eyes widened immediately. "How is this possible?!"

"Immortality?"

Xanx grinned, revealing a wild smile, "Finally, something interesting has come up."

……

Vampire Empire.

Firth Dickin sat with his legs crossed in the main seat of the conference room, with the members of the Elders Council below him.

Of course, many members have been completely transformed.

Those who resisted and disobeyed have all been drained of their blood and burned to ashes.

Looking at the people below, Firth Dickin felt an immense sense of fulfillment and satisfaction.

Just a week ago, he was an unknown nobody who could only wait in the audience room to attend elders' meetings and was not allowed to offer any opinions.

They were summoned and dismissed at will by the members of the council of elders.

Now, he is the one who controls the entire vampire empire.

The changes brought about by this shift in identity made him feel incredibly comfortable, and he wanted more.

Being the leader of a vampire empire was not enough for him; he wanted the entire Earth.

But he also knew that all of this was due to power.

Without the power enhanced by the ghost blood, he would still be that nameless nobody who couldn't even get into a meeting room.

And there are many other powerful people in this world.

Especially during the final battle in the Infinite Castle, the appearance of so many powerful humans made him re-examine the human species.

Therefore, he must possess greater power.

The source of this power is Dracula.

Yes, he never even considered resurrecting Dracula.

All he wanted was Dracula's power.

A vampire's power comes from blood. If he can drain Dracula dry, he can gain Dracula's power... Although each vampire's potential is different, there is an upper limit to the amount of blood they can digest.

He himself might not be able to digest all of Dracula's blood.

But no matter what, that is the power that the Count possessed in legend.

Even if we can only absorb one-tenth, it will be enough.
