historical

Though with the blatant disrespect, the vampires couldn’t do shit but flinch their fists and press on their teeth. There simply was nothing they could do. Their entire race could disappear off the face of the world for all they knew. At least, that was the kind of power they saw Victor possessing.

After swallowing their shame and anger, they went on to explain the situation as it was to Victor. They may have exaggerated a bit about how serious the whole thing was so make it seem more urgent, probably because they loved their lives. They all had serious faces throughout the entire meeting, as they didn’t really know what Victor’s response was going to be. They had only interacted with him once after all.

Victor listened to all they had to say about the humans and their experiments, and since he was aware that they had already figured that he was also an undead, just like them in many ways, he could clearly see what they were aiming for, and he was not going to let them have their way so easily.

Now, of course, Victor’s emotions and feelings were extremely suppressed to the point that it felt like they were none existent, so he really couldn’t enjoy thrilling events or heart pumping action. He was as dead in his mind and heart as he was outside, though the emotions and all had lightened a bit, it was just that, a bit. When looking in the grand scale of things, that bit really went nowhere. Despite all of this, Victor still had a way to get his kick out of things. (Author: Not really sure if that’s a correct way to use that there, but-)

“And why didn’t you people handle this by yourselves?” Victor asked. “Also, you are going to have me over in such a big castle, but there isn’t even as little as wine to present.” He stated again.

His last statement shook them perhaps even greater than the first. This was only the second time they had met him, and for someone who monsters referred to as a monster, the vampires really forgot something like that. Anyway, Victor waved that they reserve their wine, as he came for business in the first place, not for drinks. That was just to tease the vampires, and looking at their expressions, he was, if he would say, satisfied.

The vampire lord, after that, did a good job of proving Victor with good reasons why they had not taken action by themselves, one of them being that they just received the message that same day. After a bit more talking from the vampires, Victor stated that they allow the experiments to continue until completion.

He told them that he too was interested in the results of the experiment, and wanted to see the final product and how it turned out. He called for the spy who worked with the humans in the lab, and Misa was brought into the throne room.

She did seem a bit, how to put it, relaxed and a bit respectful, so just for the kicks, Victor decided to see of her behaviour would change after some skills were displayed. Of course, a little death stare was all it took, as she became subservient in her behaviours immediately.

Victor ordered her to continue monitoring the experiment, and asked her to report back when it was through, or if it had failed. He also told her to take a piece of the girl, preferably both her arms, if the experiment was to fail. He identified that he wanted it for his own research. Of course, Victor would only want to send something like that down his throat, but then, they needed not such information.

With that, he dismissed the meeting and returned back to the base of Under Current, the secret organization he was now the leader of. Victor was about to do something that had been interesting him for a while before he even thought of taking the organisation for himself.

.

“Alright, take me to meet this Crow you people talk about.” Victor said to Maggie the moment he teleported into her lab.

He wanted to see who the other crow was, at least he would know the face of the person whose name he hijacked without knowing, and gave him the early legendary status.

It turned out that this crow was not part of this organisation, but was the leader of a different one. According to Maggie, he was the leader of another secret organisation that called themselves Moonless, and they were partners. Moonless was an organisation that specialized in assassinations and generally, anything that had to do with spying and espionage. Under Current had people for this, but the expertise of those who specialize in the field was undoubtedly more.

Since Moonless had less members in power and people who could do other things, like nuke an entire city, they had to partner with others, and in this case, they went for the best, Under Current.

‘Whatever their history is, it doesn’t matter.’ Victor thought to himself, as he and Maggie went to the hanger where they will be taking an aircraft to where the original crow was. The Moonless hideout, or base.

In about thirty minutes, they had arrived at the base of Moonless, and immediately, Victor noticed the difference in caution compared to Under Current. Moonless only had a normal looking house on top ground that would attract little attention. Though the magic that made it look normal like nothing was there was in place, behind that mirage was just a small house that resembled an outpost. Anyone who came across it would immediately discredit it and identify it as what it looks to be, some outpost. Of course, the illusion magic around the place could easily be said to be kept in place for monsters that roam around, so everything was good.

The moment Victor went into the small house on the surface however, his map scanned everything and updated him of what the entire structure really looked like, and even for a zombie, Victor was really impressed. The place wasn’t as big as Under Current’s base, at most just half the size, but the design and structure of the entire place was so intricate that it would drive someone who doesn’t know the layout nuts just to navigate.

‘Truly, a real secret organisation.’ Victor said after they led them into the ‘secret passage’ that led underground. From there, they were taken to see the leader, Crow. Of course, every single of the Moonless members frowned the moment they heard that Victor’s name was also Crow, but alas, what could they do. They were well trained enough not to start anything in such a situation.
