Chapter 50: Plan to expose Identity
– Lucasta, Samson’s eye color is not due to wearing colored contact lenses, right? Michael continued to ask after a long time seeing her silent.
All this time, Lucasta has been busy remembering the days with Samson as well as his eating habits and living hours.
It’s true that he ate very little, he was allergic to garlic, he was afraid of the sun, he didn’t let her buy a cross and his speed when he saved her was beyond imagination.
At this moment, she was startled to realize that those characteristics were exactly like the vampire character in the movie she had seen.
– No, he wears colored contact lenses. She replied.
Michael’s sigh showed his helplessness when this girl kept protecting the person she always thought was her biological brother.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to further analyze for her to understand the dangers of being with vampires, the phone in his pocket rang, and on the other end was Bevis’s voice.
– I’m listening.
– Captain, the cameras in the party area and the hallway where the girl fell stopped working at the time of the incident. Someone touched it and the power cord was cut. Currently, we can only determine that the victim came out of the basement parking garage. He also has no relatives and is a security guard working at the Institute of Medical Sciences.
– I see.
Accidents of a criminal nature kept happening like challenging the police, causing Michael a lot of headaches. He didn’t know if it was done by humans or vampires.
Comparing the timing, Samson did not seem to be involved in the explosion on the street because when he received the notification, Lucasta, Samson and Calantha had only left the main hall for about seven or eight minutes.
Vampires do not have the ability to clone themselves.
– Lucasta, why did you fall from upstairs? What did you do up there? Michael put down the phone, turned to her, and asked.
– A staff member asked me to bring hangover drinks to the guests in that room, but when I entered, there was no one there. After that… I went to the balcony to take a look and slipped. Luckily, Samson was walking behind me so he saved me in time.
The corner of the policeman’s lips curled into a faint smile because he realized that she was both telling the truth and lying.
If Samson was really behind her at a close distance, he would have been able to hold her back the moment she lost her balance rather than waiting for her to fall off the railing.
Unless there was someone else in the room who was hindering him.
Michael knew that if he didn’t use a strong psychological beating, Lucasta would always defend the vampire, so he told her that at some point, Samson would bite her neck and suck her blood.
And then she will turn into a permanent food source for the vampires, and at the same time, Samson will use her as a tool to maintain the species.
She will turn into a vampire and then follow in his footsteps to suck human blood, and won’t be able to roam around in the sun anymore.
– Until then, you will live in fear and darkness. You will be hunted by police and vampire hunters.
Just as Michael predicted, Lucasta’s face turned pale when she heard these threats.
Without giving her time to refute, he quickly took out a cross and placed it in her hand.
– You can try if you still doubt what I said. Take out the cross silently when Samson is not paying attention and you will see his unusual expression. Lucasta, you should know that you are the daughter of the late director of the Institute of Medical Sciences and you went missing after the car accident that killed your parents.
The car continued to drive on the road, which was now crowded with cars going back and forth and then stopped in front of the gate of the corporation, which was ranked among the top ten prominent corporations in the country.
Seeing Lucasta carefully put the cross in her bag, Michael breathed a sigh of relief, took a piece of paper, quickly wrote down his phone number, put it in her hand, and then opened the car door for her to get out.
Next, he turned the car around and ran back to the police station. He could have told Peter his doubts and the hunters would have gone directly to Samson.
However, he was worried about Lucasta’s safety, he wanted her to leave that vampire first before taking action.
– Why are you late for work today, Lucasta? Harvey looked up and then looked down very quickly, his hands continuously typing on the computer keyboard.
– Because the police came to the house to interrogate, Samson and I had to go back.
While answering, Lucasta observed the expression on Harvey’s face.
However, he remained focused on the computer screen while asking her what the police needed to ask about.
Harvey thinks that if there really was a big problem, Samson would definitely have called him.
– They suspected that Samson and I were involved in a murder case. She went to the sofa, sat down, and sadly replied.
– Why do you and Samson fall into suspicion? What happened?
At this point, Harvey was really confused and could no longer focus on the computer. He left his desk and sat across from the chubby girl.
Reflexively, Lucasta held the bag tightly in her arms and told him that she had led the two victims across the street, and when she turned back, she was almost hit by a car.
Coincidentally, the captain of the special police team was also present at that time and so both of them were suspected.
– Samson didn’t tell me anything. How did the police find out where you and your brother lived?
– I don’t know. When I went to work, I saw him standing right at the beginning of the alley.
At this point, Lucasta suddenly remembered and didn’t understand why Michael knew she lived in that alley unless he had followed her back from Star Corporation.
While Harvey was deep in thought, Lucasta took the opportunity to observe the man sitting across from her.
His eye color was similar to hers so she didn’t feel anything strange. However, she didn’t know if that hair was dyed by him or if it was originally the hair color of a vampire with the most noble blood she had seen in the cinema.
Finally, she was shocked to realize that Harvey, her brother, and Maris had something in common.
They eat very little and have not aged since ten years ago, although her appearance has changed dramatically and Aurora also has wrinkles around the corners of her eyes.
Samson once said he was sick and allergic to the sun, but there was no reason for Harvey and Maris to be as sick as him.
Maris only leaves the castle in the evening or on cloudy days. As for Harvey, he always goes to work too early and comes home too late, and there is no sunlight during those hours.
– What’s wrong with you, Lucasta? Where are you unwell? Your facial expression is so bad.
Hearing Harvey’s voice slowly speak, Lucasta was startled, out of her chaotic thoughts.
– I… I… because I heard the news that the two of them died so I felt uneasy even though I didn’t do anything to them. She quickly found a reason to defend herself.
– Don’t think too much, the police have already confirmed that it wasn’t done by you and Samson. Okay, go to the next room and rest. Today, just leave everything to Bonita.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
As if finding a way out of a tunnel, Lucasta immediately bowed to Harvey and quickly left the room.
She was afraid that the longer she faced him, the more she would make him realize her unusual appearance.
Waiting for her to disappear behind the door, Harvey immediately returned to his desk and took out his phone to call Samson.
He only knew about the poisoning but did not know about the accident that happened near the company a few days ago related to Lucasta.
After hearing Samson’s confirmation, Harvey just wanted to crawl through the phone and throw him back into the deep forest.
– It seems like you always ignore my warnings, huh? Samson, if you save someone when the distance between them and the car is very short then people will consider you a hero but when that distance is extremely short then you are a vampire. Harvey hissed.
– You mean I have to watch Lucasta get hit by a car? Samson’s voice is equally loud as Harvey’s.
Harvey was about to tell Samson to come up with an excuse and take Lucasta out of the city when his eyes suddenly bulged like duck eggs when he saw the video that had just been posted online with a huge number of likes and comments.
The image was sharp enough for him to clearly see Samson and Lucasta swaying on the third floor of the hotel.
But this is not so cool. When he pulled the control stick back, a scene that seemed to only exist in the movies appeared.
He completely collapsed when he saw Samson dive over the railing like a Spiderman, grab the blonde girl’s leg, then throw her high into the air and catch her gently.
– What is this?
He continued to go from surprise to surprise as the video showed Samson redrawing the painting within fifteen minutes.
Although the white cloth covered the actions of famous artist Lionel, Harvey knew that the short time was what caused this video to receive millions of views and hundreds of thousands of comments.
– Samson, is that man who seems to be very talented in the Black Roses Hotel you? Harvey exhaled and asked.
– How do you know? Lucasta said?
– She really knows how to keep secrets. Go online and look, you are being hunted by the online community.
– That was an unintended incident.
– Who forced you and Lucasta to go there? Go back to the forest and give her to me or let me take her to a place where you can’t see her anymore.
After finishing speaking, Harvey hung up the phone, and leaned back against the back of the swivel chair, staring at the light bulb on the ceiling.
Harvey wondered what Samson was thinking, doing such attention-grabbing things.
Doesn’t he know that the police and vampire hunters are roaming every corner of the city?
At the same time, at the police station, Deputy Captain Bevis was standing in front of Michael and reported about the car explosion on the road.
Cameras in the main lobby entrance area filmed the victim entering and the invitation he gave was personally written by Mr. David and sent to Dr. Henry, currently working at the Institute of Medical Sciences.
– There is no reason for Dr. Henry to ask a security guard to go there on his behalf. That would be disrespecting the Anthony family. Michael fiddled with the pen and said.
– That’s right. If he can’t participate, he can send a gift to the party instead of asking someone from a lower class and not related to him. Bevis nodded in agreement with his boss’s guess.
Thinking for a long time, Michael picked up the phone and called William to ask for Dr. Henry’s phone number in order to ask him a few things about the invitation card.
Luckily for Michael, Henry was standing next to William and he quickly confirmed that he had carelessly lost the invitation card so he couldn’t come to the party.
Henry said that because there were so many guests that day, he could not call and bother the homeowner to come to the gate to lead him past the security fence.
If he knew that the invitation card was lost early, it would be easier. However, when the party was about to start, he realized it and that was when Anthony’s family members were busy welcoming guests.
