"Welcome to the Hyperspace Group. You can just call me Boss from now on."
Karl nodded in satisfaction. "Once the experimental results are out, I will send people to help you unify the Wizard Society and get rid of Victor."
"No..."
Who would have thought that Selene would shake her head with unusual firmness, saying, "Boss, I must kill Victor with my own hands to avenge my parents!"
As she spoke,
Selene slowly knelt down, then crawled on all fours to Karl's feet, raising her exquisite face, and pleaded with slightly parted lips:
"After Elder Amelia was kidnapped, the Wizard Society's council members activated an emergency plan, awakening Victor, who was originally scheduled to take office next century."
"And I am a kin personally transformed by Victor. If I don't break the bloodline suppression on me, even if he stands still in front of me, I won't be able to lay a hand on him."
"So... (gulps)... I beg you, Boss, please bestow upon me some 'Evolutionary Blood'!"
Σ(°△°|||)︴
Good heavens, so this woman was still hoping to get a taste of my blood?!
Karl's brows furrowed slightly at her words, but this time, he didn't directly refuse her.
Selene was right...
Whether in the Marvel Universe or the Underworld Universe, the Vampire race has extremely strict bloodline suppression.
Lower-ranking Vampires, when facing higher-ranking Vampires who transformed them into kin, would experience a powerful shock and restraint from the soul level, causing their strength to plummet.
Unless she could break this shackles, Selene would simply be unable to "offend her superior."
However, what puzzled Karl was...
How could Selene be so sure that his blood would help her break through this bloodline suppression?
After a brief moment of contemplation,
This time, Karl finally decided to agree to her request.
There were two reasons:
First, he was actually curious to see what effect his blood would have on a high-ranking Vampire.
Second, he wanted to take this opportunity to confirm his previous guess: whether other Vampires of Selene's lineage, besides the Elders, could read his memory fragments through his blood.
This would undoubtedly serve as a good precaution against anyone using his blood samples to cause trouble in the future... like a certain one-eyed black man who liked to send people to collect discarded blood on battlefields!
Most importantly, Selene had now become one of them.
"Open your mouth..."
In Selene's incredibly expectant and surprised gaze, Karl raised his hand and lightly sliced his index finger. A drop of bright red blood fell directly onto her tongue.
"Ah? This... Is that all?"
Selene stared blankly at Karl, who had bandaged his wound after only letting one drop of blood fall. She was utterly bewildered.
"No, are you treating me like a beggar here?"
She immediately put on a dissatisfied expression and pouted coyly:
"What's this, Boss, you're really stingy, only giving me one drop... That's not enough at all. Please, please, can you give me a little more?!"
However,
Her little trick had absolutely no effect on Karl, who had frequented various KTVs, clubs, and foot massage parlors.
After secretly preparing to use his Mind abilities to erase any sensitive information that might be exposed, he urged her solemnly:
"What do you know? This is a brand new version you haven't tried before. Just one drop will bring about a change!"
"Is that so? Alright then..."
Selene could only reluctantly comply.
But in her heart, she kept complaining about her Boss's stinginess.
However,
The moment she swallowed the drop of fresh blood on her tongue, the aura around her suddenly changed.
A boundless and unparalleled power erupted from the depths of her soul.
Then, it swept through like a tidal wave, breaking through the shackles and curses that had originally bound her bloodline, one after another.
It even opened a path for her towards a higher, further, and more powerful evolution!
Now...
Selene could no longer feel any bloodline shackles from Victor in her soul.
However, she found it hard to believe that merely swallowing a single drop of this man's blood could bring about such a tremendous change?
She even had a faint feeling.
She had already overcome the Vampire's only weakness of fearing sunlight, successfully ascending to become a Daywalker like Blade!
This... this effect was simply too incredibly powerful, wasn't it?
It seems my previous guess was indeed correct.
The Boss's blood is the "Evolutionary Blood" recorded in the book of darkness, also known as the "Vampire Bible," which can elevate all blood relatives to a higher level!
"Haaah!!"
Selene, reborn, arched her swan-like, pure white neck.
An uncontrollable and evocative moan escaped her throat.
Her melodious and elegant voice seemed to possess a strong enchanting effect, causing a tingling, electric sensation.
And her beautiful ice-blue eyes had closed at some point.
She was fully immersed in enjoying the perfect experience that erupted during the process of "evolution" to a higher level!
"Hmm?!"
All of Selene's current sensations were truthfully relayed back to Karl through the Mind Chain.
Although he was quite satisfied with the changes his blood could induce,
What puzzled him was that he hadn't found any new memories in Selene's mind after she "read the blood."
In other words...
Although she had consumed his blood,
She hadn't been able to extract any memory fragments from it.
What was going on?
Was her level too low to decipher my blood?
Or was it because the amount I gave her was too little?
Should I... give her a little more?
Just as Karl was contemplating, he suddenly felt an unusual sensation on his leg.
Looking down...
He saw that Selene had, at some point, gently rested her cheek on his lap.
In her beautiful eyes, narrowed like a cat's, two large words seemed to be written: I still want... to drink blood!
Seeing Karl's scrutinizing gaze,
She first licked the corner of her lips, still unsatisfied.
Her gaze, full of challenge (and playfulness), traveled down Karl's face.
Finally, it settled on the origin of life...
(╯°Д°）╯︵ ┻━┻
"Woman, I warn you, you are playing with Fire..."
"Hiss... Good... alright (great), I'm indeed very angry now!"
Karl's "Fire safety awareness" was quite good.
When it's time to put out a Fire, you should immediately choose to do so.
This prevents greater dangers from arising in the future.
So Selene was destined not to receive just one drop of fresh blood today.
There was also positive energy, far more precious than fresh blood!
So Karl, while gazing at the bright Moon outside the window, held the Moon Goddess's long hair...
It wasn't until over half an hour later that the raging Fire was finally extinguished.
Karl, who had been so engrossed in admiring the Moon, successfully entered sage mode.
It's back... that feeling of going to clubs in the old days is back!
I have to say, the first character in the word "Vampire" is not for nothing.
It's as if her mouth had a turbocharger.
It almost sucked Karl's soul right out of him!!!
He truly hadn't expected...
Selene, whose technique was still very unpractised, had already reached the pinnacle of this field with just a slight effort.
Karl suddenly felt that all the KTVs, clubs, and foot massage parlors he had visited over the years had been a waste of time.
Compared to the Moon Goddess, those "silver-tongued" technicians suddenly became bland and uninteresting.
Very good, woman, from now on, I shall call you the true "mouth" strong king—[Five-star positive review certified by Dimensional God Karl!!!]
...
A moment later, when Karl walked out of the office, looking refreshed,
Frank, who was guarding the door, immediately gave him an OK gesture, indicating that he had received definite news from Samuel Sterns.
"Frank, go prepare immediately. Afterwards, take the Thunder Warriors squad and Selene back to the Wizard Society..."
Karl decisively ordered: "The purpose of this operation is twofold: first, to capture the Vampire Elders of the Wizard Society for Dr. Stern's upcoming research and experiments."
"It's important to note the progenitor of this branch, Marcus. His strength is not to be underestimated, though he is likely still in slumber right now."
"Secondly, it's to help Selene seize power and completely incorporate the Wizard Society into our Hyperspace Group's territory... As for Elder Victor, his life and death will be left to Selene to handle."
Karl had previously verified the strength of the Wizard Society's Vampires on Selene.
If one were to disregard their regeneration, speed, and night battle buffs,
The strength of ordinary Vampires was only slightly stronger than that of ordinary humans.
And elite Vampires like the Death Walker had strength and speed roughly 2-3 times that of ordinary humans.
Therefore, with Selene leading the way, they were simply no match for Frank and the Thunder Warriors.
Otherwise,
They wouldn't have been forced to compromise with the human government and sign a peace treaty that surrendered their rights and disgraced their race!
Furthermore, among the Vampires permanently stationed at the Wizard Society Headquarters,
Ninety-nine percent of them were useless waste, so there was naturally no need to dispatch a large force.
"Yes, Boss!"
Frank didn't hesitate for a moment, immediately turning and leaving.
Karl stood in place, contemplating for a moment, and ultimately abandoned the idea of having Selene serve him that night.
After all, the persona of a "pure love warrior" couldn't be dropped!
However, occasionally putting out a small Fire was harmless...
He then called over his blonde secretary, pointed to the conference room behind him, and instructed: "When Miss Selene comes out later, take her to the guest room to wash up and change her clothes."
"Understood."
The secretary immediately stood obediently outside the conference room.
However, her peripheral vision kept wanting to peek inside.
"Oh, Miss Selene's luck is truly too good, isn't it?"
"To actually be favored by the Boss, if only such good fortune could fall upon me someday..."
"Didn't they say that bosses like secretaries to handle work when there's work, and handle secretaries when there's no work? How come I don't get such good treatment... Boo hoo hoo, I really want to experience going to heaven just once!"
...
And at this moment,
Inside the conference room.
"Gulp... Hmm... Where's Boss?!"
Selene, who had just recovered from a state of complete mental blankness, couldn't help but show a hint of confusion in her eyes.
And in the center of her forehead, covered by stray hairs, a now blurry purple "rune" was silently dissipating.
Selene subconsciously licked the corner of her lips... Hmm, why did the Evolutionary Blood taste and feel a little strange?!
But then, all her thoughts were consumed by the burning desire for revenge.
"Victor, just wait, I will personally cut off your head!"
...
The next day.
Soon after Frank's squad and Selene left, Karl received a call from John Jameson.
"Boss, I just received inside information from a colleague that the Life Foundation's 'Life One Spaceship' crashed and disintegrated last night on its way back into the atmosphere..."
Even over the phone, Karl could hear the schadenfreude in the other party's voice.
No wonder.
If it hadn't been for Karl's earlier warning, John Jameson would probably be weeping over his son's corpse by now.
So, how could he not be happy now?
"I have to say, Boss, you truly are prescient..."
John Jameson continued to report excitedly.
"The wreckage of the spaceship fell precisely 20 kilometers west of Sibu, eastern Malaysia, within the Borneo Forest Reserve."
"According to a whistleblower who participated in the local search and rescue operation, Life Foundation personnel took three mysterious containers from the spaceship wreckage last night..."
"At the same time, an ambulance escorting the only surviving astronaut also had an accident on the way.
Except for a female Nurse who is now missing, everyone else in the vehicle, including the astronaut, died."
At this point,
John Jameson couldn't help but show a look of emotion on his face.
Initially, when he tried to persuade his son, Jameson Jr., to withdraw from the Life Foundation's space project,
Not only did his son not understand, but he also had a fierce argument with him, stating that he would rather die on the 'Life One' spaceship and that no one could stop him from achieving his space dream...
Finally, John Jameson was forced to secretly hire two thugs to disguise themselves as robbers.
One night, they broke Jameson Jr.'s right hand while he was out for a night run.
This way, even if his son wanted to participate with his injury, the Life Foundation would absolutely not agree to take such a risk.
The wheels of fate began to turn from that moment...
However,
Jameson Jr. wasn't a fool; he quickly suspected his own father.
Because of this, the relationship between the father and son plummeted to an all-time low.
They hadn't spoken for an entire month.
It wasn't until the news of the 'Life One Spaceship' crash came last night that Jameson Jr. finally realized what "fatherly love is like a mountain" meant!
He immediately hugged his father and cried like a child.
After this century-long reconciliation, their father-son relationship became unprecedentedly warm.
Therefore, in John Jameson's heart, Karl was not just a boss who paid him a salary, but also a great benefactor who changed his and his son's destiny!
"Boss, should we report this news first? I'm sure the Life Foundation's stock price will hit its lower limit as soon as the market opens."
Upon hearing this, Karl refused without hesitation: "Such an insignificant piece of news won't make a big splash at all."
Then, a mysterious arc appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he pointed out meaningfully:
"Jameson, you need to gradually learn to broaden your horizons..."
"Remember, from the moment The Daily Bugle joined the Hyperspace Group, it was destined that we would no longer need to play these low-level games!"
John Jameson on the other end of the phone was immediately awestruck.
Did you see that? That's what you call vision, what you call perspective?
Just the Boss's magnificent demeanor alone is enough for me to learn for a lifetime...
Compared to him, my old Jameson's fifty-plus years have been lived in vain!
