Chapter 51: The Hunters
The smoke from the man’s lips rose into the air, his eyes showed satisfaction but mixed with calculations.
– The police have been deceived, it’s time to bring our treasure back. William extinguished his cigarette and leisurely walked out of the room.
– Yes, sir. Henry bowed and replied.
The darkness always hides crimes and when dawn comes, sinister people put on the white robes of angels and do the work of angels.
The research project to concentrate blood into dry form has not yet produced results, so William is extremely impatient.
After walking around the laboratory, he signaled Aurora to follow him to his private room.
– What do you want to ask? She spoke as soon as she closed the door.
– Please sit. He pointed to the sofa opposite and poured tea into a cup.
Aurora took the cup of tea and took a sip. At this moment, she suddenly felt that William’s face had some similarities with the blonde girl that Samson was raising.
She felt a little ridiculous. Why did she only realize this now when she saw him every day and interacted with that girl quite a lot?
If she didn’t understand William’s good personality, she might have thought that Lucasta was his illegitimate daughter because that girl currently had no parents or relatives.
What happened in Lucasta’s past is still a big question mark.
– Aurora, didn’t your father leave any documents about his research? I think the project can be accelerated if we have a document available to continue studying.
– Right. All we have are documents from the old research team. My father gave up this job when Mr. Walter fired him because, as you know, funding was a difficult problem. I guess if my dad was still alive, he wouldn’t let me work here.
Although Aurora’s words were very reasonable and convincing, William was still very skeptical.
One of the people in the old research group who was Richard’s close friend revealed that he said in a drunken state that he had discovered a method of blood concentration after leaving the Institute of Medical Sciences.
There was no reason why he wouldn’t have written it down.
If it’s true as Aurora said, then perhaps Richard wanted this information to reach Walter’s ears to annoy him and make him regret that decision.
To be honest, William personally invited Aurora to work here because he thought she had the formula from her father.
Ultimately, more than ten years have passed but the project is still at a standstill with tests costing millions of dollars.
Leaving William’s office, Aurora continued with her work in a bad mood.
Last night, Harvey stopped by her house to give her fresh blood and stayed for nearly an hour to tell the story of Samson who was causing a storm on social networks.
However, when he opened the video for her to watch, everything had been completely removed.
If she guessed correctly, cyber security had intervened at the request of the police.
However, people all over the country are eagerly searching for the identities of the two main characters.
She, like Harvey, is extremely worried about the cursed vampire’s safety.
A heavy day gradually passed and when dusk surrounded the city, the auction organized by Star Group also began to take place.
Harvey also came but did not show his face, he just sat in the room and watched via camera, everything was left to Bonita and the senior staff in charge.
Lionel’s painting appeared in the auction, attracting many famous painting collectors to register to participate.
It wasn’t until just now, when Harvey passed by a group of people standing, that he vaguely realized that there was another piece of information that made this famous artist’s works famous for hundreds of years, which was his true identity.
Everyone in the art world thought he was a vampire.
Two hours passed, and the auction ended with an unexpected amount of money. The painting was bought by an anonymous collector for twice the price Harvey bought it from Kamala.
– It’s been hard for you. Harvey smiled when he saw Bonita walk in with a bright smile on her face.
– Congratulations, the auction was a great success. With this money, we will be able to help many disadvantaged children.
Bonita said as she placed the documents on the table.
Harvey quickly flipped through the pages. As he guessed, most collectors were anonymous.
Precious paintings are always the object of attention from super thieves, so usually no one wants to publicly announce that they own them, to avoid trouble and danger.
– Did you fall, Bonita? Your neck… – He frowned and pointed to the bruise on his assistant’s white neck.
– Ah, yes, it was because I was careless.
Bonita smiled wryly, adjusting her collar to hide the mark left by her husband after the argument.
A gentleman after ten years suddenly changes his personality when he falls into the path of gambling.
Bonita thought about divorce more than once, but because of her son, she tried to endure it.
She didn’t want to tell Harvey the truth because she feared he would be upset and worried.
– He abused you, right?
The sudden question made all her actions stop. She knew Harvey was a delicate and intelligent man, how could he not recognize what was an accidental wound and what was an intentional wound? Unless he couldn’t see it.
– That’s right, he is addicted to gambling and alcohol. Her eyelids drooped, and her voice became lower.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
– Get a divorce, I’ll take care of you and Ricky. I will accept him as my son. If ten people fall into it, ten people won’t be able to get out. Don’t waste time waiting for him to change.
The proposal from the owner made Bonita emotional and teary-eyed. She nodded repeatedly and promised to complete the divorce procedure soon.
If Harvey were Ricky’s father, the boy wouldn’t have to suffer any more losses. Although Harvey cannot take the boy to school or appear at parent-teacher meetings, his status as President Star’s adopted son will be the perfect shield for her son.
Harvey knows he can never experience marital happiness, but he always wants his assistant to be happy with the man she loves. However, if that person dares to touch her, it’s best for her to cut it off, he won’t advise her to hold on.
Glancing at the clock and seeing that it was just after eight o’clock in the evening, Harvey immediately changed direction and drove to Aurora’s house.
While passing by the bakery, he stopped by to buy some cakes for Aurora, not knowing that his platinum hair had attracted the attention of a group of vampire hunters standing nearby.
Seeing that he was so handsome, the bakery owner didn’t blink. He had to call twice before she woke up from her dream.
She quickly took the cake, put it in her bag, and quickly ran out.
Unfortunately, her loose shirt was blown up by the night wind, and caught on the glass cabinet and after just a few steps, she fell over, dragging the cabinet with her.
– Careful.
The bakery owner’s face turned pale because she thought she was about to fall.
Opening her eyes, she realized the picturesque man was holding her.
The hunters gasped when they saw the guy’s rocket-like speed, and even more so, his strength.
– He looks so skinny, yet he’s holding that fat lady with one hand and that heavy cabinet with the other. Could it be… – A young hunter leaned into Peter’s ear and whispered.
– Just keep watching. Peter replied.
After paying, Harvey quickly drove to the small alley and rang the bell.
It took five minutes for Aurora to appear and open the gate for him.
Looking at the bag of cakes in his hand, her heart pounded, she reached out to take it even though he hadn’t said anything yet.
– I thought you were sleeping.
– I just came out of the lab when you rang the bell.
As usual, Harvey went to the sofa and lay down on it while Aurora was still busy locking the gate.
Whenever he has something sad in his heart, he wants to come here, roll around on her sofa for a while, and talk to her a few words to ease his mind before returning home.
– Would you like to drink blood?
– Yes, give me a glass of blood.
Outside, the group of hunters who had just climbed over the fence and broken into the yard immediately looked at each other with wide eyes when they heard the conversation of the two people inside because the main door of the house was still open.
One guy tried to stand up but Peter forced him to sit back down. They all continued to hold their breath and observe inside the living room.
– Let’s drink. Aurora smiled, placing the red glass of water down in front of Harvey.
He nodded to express his thanks and sat up, but just as he touched the glass, a group of hunters suddenly appeared, standing right at the door.
This situation made Aurora pale because she didn’t know which way they went in, from the roof or from the drainage pipe.
– A pure-blood vampire? It’s been thirty years since I’ve seen a noble vampire. Peter smirked, his hand went to his belt, grasping the handle of the iron ax.
– What are you talking about? Who is a vampire? Aurora approached the edge of the door and asked.
– Blood. You people are drinking blood. You are also a vampire. Peter said as he signaled the people behind him to pull out their iron axes.
– I think you have misunderstood.
After raising her hands to tell him to wait a moment, she quickly ran to the table, brought out a glass of water, and gave it to the uninvited guest.
Peter looked at her, then brought the glass of water to his nose and realized that this was a glass of watermelon juice, not blood as he thought. However, he heard with his own ears that she invited that guy to drink blood.
– We often joke like that because I am a doctor specializing in hematology and blood transfusion. A PhD student at the Institute of Medical Sciences. If you don’t believe it, you can go there and ask about Aurora, the leader of the research team on the project that condenses fresh blood into dried blood.
Although Peter confirmed that the liquid on his hand was not blood, he was still suspicious because of Harvey’s special hair and extreme strength and speed.
In the current chaotic situation, he cannot ignore any clues.
Without giving the leader of the hunter group time to speak, Harvey leisurely walked towards the door, but he still stood behind Aurora.
– I donated a large amount of money so the government invited you guys here to catch vampires. Let me introduce myself, my name is Harvey, president of Star Corporation.
