He's in Marvel, working behind the scenes.

As the battle ended, the system notifications in my mind gradually slowed down until they stopped completely.

Gu Qing glanced at the system panel and received 40,000 prayer points.

"I'm still 40,000 short of 20 draws."

Xiao Dangjia and Guo Haihuang provided 6,000, and with some other miscellaneous income, we have earned about 50,000 prayer points today.

"It seems like there's nothing else going on. Looks like we'll have to wait until Iron Man 2 starts before we can collect them all."

……

The ambush turned into an ambush, and the town of Green was bombarded and almost reduced to ruins, with hundreds of police officers and soldiers losing their lives.

They gained nothing except shooting down more than twenty enemy helicopters.

Everyone was in a bad mood.

Back at S.H.I.E.L.D., Tina immediately stepped forward to apologize, saying, "I'm sorry, it was all my negligence that caused this accident."

"Turning the enemy to their side was my idea."

Fury took the blame and then changed the subject, saying seriously, "That Faith Dickon has become stronger and more like the legendary vampire. He must have received a gift from Dracula."

"Why are you so afraid of Dracula?" Tony asked, puzzled. "No matter how powerful he is, he's still a vampire with many weaknesses. Just prepare some garlic, silver, and stakes, and you'll be fine, right?"

"Dracula probably doesn't have these weaknesses."

Blade Runner, his body wrapped in bandages, limped into the conference room, leaning on a cane.

He looked around at everyone in the room and said, "I have vampire blood, but I'm not afraid of silver, sunlight, garlic, or stakes. I don't think the progenitor of vampires would be afraid of these things."

"You don't have these weaknesses, isn't that because you also have human blood?"

"If it's that simple, then why isn't there a second Daywalker?"

Blade's question silenced everyone.

Yeah, why?

The vampire empire had long coveted beings like Blade Warriors, and naturally, they had conducted experiments on pregnant women who were about to give birth.

However, no mixed-race vampire is like Blade.

Seeing that no one spoke, Blade continued, "Although I don't know the reason, it's definitely not as simple as a human-vampire hybrid. We must be prepared for a tough battle with Dracula."

"Dracula hasn't broken the seal yet, we still have a chance."

"It's difficult."

Fury said in a deep voice, "The first thing I did upon returning was to request the Security Council to freeze all the Vampire Empire's accounts and funds, and to ask international agencies to search for vampires, but I was refused."

"What!?"

Tony couldn't believe it. "The vampires are already preparing to start a racial war, so why aren't the higher-ups reacting at all?"

"These are all uncertain things after all."

Fury stared at the crowd and said, "The vampire empire has existed for countless years. The wealth they have accumulated is enough to plunge the world into the biggest financial crisis in history. No one dares to take the risk lightly."

Moreover, those in power didn't believe that mere vampires could cause any real trouble. Furthermore, with internal traitors infiltrated by vampires and corrupted by money and immortality, orders against the vampire empire were difficult to carry out.

Furthermore, higher-ups ordered us to halt our plans targeting vampires.

"Shit!"

Tony cursed and walked outside. "I'm not their subordinate, and I have no obligation to take their orders."

"That's right, the Avengers exist independently and do not accept orders from any person or organization."

Fury conceived the idea of ​​forming the Avengers precisely because of his concern about this situation, and their current actions will not be affected.

but……

"S.H.I.E.L.D. is probably unable to provide assistance."

Fury continued, "S.H.I.E.L.D. is an organization under the Security Council, and it has to take into account the international situation. Without the help of various countries and S.H.I.E.L.D., it would be very difficult for us to stop Dracula's resurrection, like finding a needle in a haystack."

"So, is the only option left to fight Dracula after his resurrection?"

"Yes."

"Okay, call me when the time comes."

……

Inside a wealthy family's villa.

Lady Gao reported to Dio: "Lord Dio, we have found out that the current leader of the Vampire Empire is a half-blood named Fies Dickon."

"A hybrid?"

Dio looked at Madame Gao with a puzzled expression.

In their world, vampires are all humans who are transformed by wearing stone masks; there are no pure-blooded vampires, they are all evolved from humans.

"They are vampires who are given the Embrace by vampires and transformed into humans..." After telling Dio about the vampires in this world, Madam Gao said, "Because of the time I helped the demon, I still have contact with him and can find him."

"I never imagined that naturally existing vampires existed..."

Dio touched the scar on his neck and smiled. "Contact him. I want to see him."

"Yes, Lord Dior."

……

The following day, in the evening.

Dior brought Madame Goriot to a country castle.

This ancient castle is quite old; the cracks in the walls and the rusty lamp stands tell its story.

"This way, please."

A vampire servant greeted Dio and Madame Goriot and led them to the hall.

A ten-meter-long dining table was set up in the hall.

Firth Dickin sat at the end of the table, enjoying his dinner—a bloody steak with a wine glass of bright red liquid beside him.

"This is the fresh blood of a virgin who just turned sixteen. Would you like some?" Faith Dickon asked without looking up, while cutting the steak.

"I, Dior, never accept things from others."

"Ok?"

Firth Dickin paused, looked up in surprise, and laughed, "If you won't accept anything from others, then why are you coming to me?"

"I will get what I want myself."

Dior's lips curled up slightly, and the wine glass that Faith Dickon held appeared in his own hand.

Chapter 179 The King of Pretending

what? !

How is this going? !

The five vampire servants in the hall reacted as if they had seen a ghost when they witnessed this scene.

Festicken looked at his hand holding the cup, still bearing the painful memory of when it was taken away.

Instant teleportation?

Retrieving objects remotely?

Or is it super speed?

Festicken thought of many things for a moment, but quickly focused his attention on Dio, his eyes narrowing.

"What do you mean?"

"Your position is very good."

Dio didn't answer; instead, he looked at his chair with great interest.

It's just an ordinary chair, nothing special.

Dior's words seemed to have a hidden meaning.

Therefore, Festicken stopped pretending, his face darkened, and he said with a threatening tone, "Looks like you've come looking for trouble!"

"You've misunderstood me."

Dior raised a finger and shook it lightly, then picked up his wine glass, took an elegant sip, and said, "I hate trouble the most, so I don't want to cause trouble for others."

"So what are you here for?"

Festicken paused in surprise for a moment, then asked.

"I have come to bring you good news."

"What gospel?"

"We vampires are far superior to humans, yet your vampire kingdom has existed for countless years, only able to eke out a living in the shadow of humans. It's truly pathetic."

Dio spread his arms, seemingly intoxicated by something good, and said in a seductive voice, "This is not the vampires' fault, but the incompetence of the rulers who lead the vampires."

So let me rule you!

I will lead you to dominate humanity, dominate the world, and make vampires the true overlords.

Isn't this the gospel?

Quiet, quiet, quiet.

After listening to Dior's speech-like explanation, everyone in the room remained calm.

Only Festicken's eyes held a mocking expression.

This made Dior very uncomfortable, and he frowned slightly.

Just as he was about to say something, he saw Festicken's expression change, and he said with interest, "It's rare to find a vampire who thinks the same way as me."
