Chapter 58

Kanan, with a panicked look on his face, was holding a suitcase. Behind him followed Josh, the assistant of Blade. Both of them had the appearance of being chased by a vicious dog, and even after getting into the car, they did not show any signs of relief. Instead, they stepped hard on the gas, driving the minivan with the momentum of a sports car.

This was not their fault. Who could have imagined that the vampire empire, which was at its peak and had just held the greatest enemy of vampires, Blade, in their hands, would vanish in less than one night?

They, who had once relied on the vampire empire, suddenly became homeless dogs, and were even branded as traitors. Such a situation was even too much for Josh, who was used to being an undercover agent, to handle.

Josh was indeed an undercover agent. He was a nail directly planted by the vampire empire in Blade's side. Being pursued to the death by vampires as a human, this bitter strategy even deceived the experienced Blade.

It was precisely because he was an undercover agent that the vampires could use Whistler as a trump card to threaten Blade when they surrounded him. Without the guidance of an undercover agent, it would be difficult for the vampires to capture Whistler, whom they did not trust at all. This was the final move, and completing it meant that all of Damaskinos' plans had come to an end.

This was originally a good move. However, when Damaskinos and everything he had turned to nothing, this move instead pushed Josh into a corner. He not only did not get what he wanted, but also completely exposed his identity. He did not believe that Blade, with his wisdom, would not see through his true identity.

Therefore, when he saw Kanan, the head of the traitors, trying to sneak away, he followed him without hesitation, threatening to expose Kanan's whereabouts.

Urging Josh to speed up, Kanan looked at the factory behind him, which was getting farther and farther away. He touched the suitcase in his arms and took a deep breath. He was a true top talent, and even without his vampire master, his comfortable life would not be affected. However, he had risked his dignity and even abandoned his humanity to serve Damaskinos, not for a comfortable life, which he did not lack at all. What he wanted was immortality.

Like vampires, who could maintain their youth and vitality for centuries. Although the vampires' fear of the sun and silver was a fatal flaw, for him, this was not unchangeable. He was an expert in the field of genetics.

The suitcase in his arms contained all the data from the experiments he had conducted for Damaskinos over the years. With this, he could quickly rise again and complete his dream under the hands of another vampire family. As the chief scientist of Damaskinos, he also had some connections with the vampires in Europe. Thinking about this, he glanced at the person next to him with a cold look.

He did not like being threatened, especially by a guy he looked down upon.

Josh did not notice Kanan's gaze. He was a guy who had mixed in the lower echelons of society. If you said he was devious and shameless, he might be a little, but when it came to scheming and plotting, he was a real idiot.

Holding a cigarette that had never left his pocket, Josh trembled as he puffed on it and obediently sped up. Of course, he never knew what it meant to keep silent.

"Hey, buddy, where are we going? There's no place in New York that Blade can't find, let alone a Dawn Knight."

"Shut your mouth and drive properly," Kanan clearly did not want to talk to him. He just closed his eyes and began to silently calculate. Although he had enough chips in his hand, he still needed to plan to maximize his benefits.

Josh knew he had no say. He wanted a luxurious life, and now it all depended on the guy next to him. So he could only mumble.

"I can shut up, but buddy, you have to tell me where we're going to drive the car."

"To the airport!" As Kanan spoke, a black-gloved hand landed on Josh's shoulder. "Buddy, I think it's better for you to drive towards my house now."

Through the rearview mirror, the two could clearly see Blade sitting in the back seat with his white teeth. They were too hasty, so hasty that they did not even notice the guy lying on the back seat when they got into the car.

Seeing Blade, Kanan broke out in a cold sweat. He wanted to distance himself from the situation. In fact, he and Blade had no grudges, and compared to Josh, who could attract more of Blade's hatred. A traitor was the most hateful existence to anyone.

However, before he could speak, a force he could not resist came from outside the car. Josh only saw a black shadow flash by, and the person next to him was gone. Only a deformed car door remained.

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he was about to ask Blade what had happened. But Blade cut him off.

"Don't worry about that guy, he just wants to settle accounts. What you need to worry about now is how I will settle accounts with you."

Kanan was pulled up by a powerful force, the intense sense of weightlessness made him panic. Looking at the ground getting farther and farther away, he closed his eyes and struggled frantically. He had a mild fear of heights, and this sudden event was too much for his heart. However, even at this moment, he still tightly held the suitcase in his arms, his steady hands not trembling at all.

The sense of weightlessness quickly disappeared, but Kanan did not feel his feet on solid ground. He secretly opened his eyes and saw a man in black armor staring straight at him.

The Dawn Knight! Recognizing the person in front of him, he let out a long sigh of relief. Unlike Blade, the Dawn Knight had always appeared as a righteous hero in the public eye. Although he had always fought against crime, he had never killed anyone, not even one. Dealing with such a person, who was bound by rules and had a sense of morality and justice, Kanan felt he could handle it.

Seeing Kanan's expression relax, Zhou Yi's voice flowed coldly.

"Looks like you're not afraid of me."

"Why should I be afraid of you?" The slick guy began to talk smoothly. "You are the messenger of justice, the protector of the people, the guardian of the law. And I am just a worker. Maybe my boss was a bit crazy, but that has nothing to do with me. From a legal perspective, I haven't committed any crimes, so why should I be afraid of you?"

Zhou Yi tilted his head, the black helmet reflecting a cold sheen in the sunlight.

"Do you think I won't kill you?"

"No, no, no!" Kanan quickly shook his head. "I never doubt your courage. But I am still a human, a law-abiding human, I haven't even evaded taxes. A person like me can't imagine any reason for you to harm me."

"You like to talk a lot." Zhou Yi was silent for a moment, then said, "I don't care if you live or die, your life is in your own hands. I just want to ask some questions. Answer me honestly, and I won't mind letting you go."

"Being able to talk is a lawyer's professional ethics." Kanan let out a long breath, feeling his life was saved. "Ask your questions, and in the name of the law, I will answer truthfully."

The value of the law in the eyes of such a person was not what Zhou Yi wanted to explore. He just stared at Kanan and asked coldly.

"How many of Damaskinos' experimental subjects are left?"

"As you can see, all the failed experiments were destroyed. Only Chadnomar, a half-finished product, and Yassa, who was just a little short of success, are left."

Damaskinos was already gone, and Kanan would not keep any secrets for his former employer, especially when these secrets were related to his safety.

"I have reviewed your experimental records. All the experiments made no progress for years until a few years ago when they suddenly advanced. Don't tell me you had a sudden burst of inspiration. I have checked your background. You are not the type of person with innovative abilities. Without external help, you could not have achieved such results with your abilities."

Kanan's face turned red, being questioned about his most proud skills made him angry. But he quickly suppressed his anger. Life and dignity, he chose life. And to some extent, Zhou Yi's conclusion was not wrong.

His face showed a hint of dejection, as Zhou Yi said, his breakthrough was indeed based on external help.

"It was an ancient virus, a virus that had never been discovered before. Damaskinos obtained this virus from his allies in Europe and used it in this experimental project. This virus had incredible power, although it was somewhat incompatible with the vampire genome, it was not a big problem. Our research soon made a breakthrough."

Interrupting Kanan's narrative, Zhou Yi had found what he was looking for.

"Damaskinos' allies provided this virus. Who are his allies?"

Kanan's eyes turned cunning.

"I only know it's a vampire family in the UK, I don't know anything else."

Physiological tests and changes in brainwave amplitude proved he was not lying. Although he did not completely tell the truth, it was enough for Zhou Yi.

Silently turning around, Zhou Yi flew away. Only Kanan was left in mid-air, and the moment Zhou Yi left, Kanan's body, no longer supported by telekinesis, began to fall freely under the force of gravity.

This was 13,000 feet in the air, and directly below was an open highway. From any perspective, Kanan had no chance of survival.

Despite his curses, pleas, and threats, they meant nothing to Zhou Yi. He only had a few dozen seconds left to live, so whatever he did was meaningless.

With a heavy thud, Kanan's body splattered like a cracked tomato, spreading red blood all over the highway. Even until his death, he still tightly held the suitcase in his hands. Such a person was actually a pitiful existence.

Waving his hand to release a flame, Zhou Yi flew towards home. He and Blade had completed their tasks, and he was so exhausted that he desperately needed a place to rest.

Many days later, Blade returned from a routine vampire hunt. Josh's death was still somewhat inconvenient for him. After all, Whistler was too old and somewhat lacking in strength. So his equipment was not fully ready, especially in terms of transportation. This greatly affected his routine duties.

Whistler also knew the importance of this, but creating a vehicle suitable for Blade was not an easy task. So he usually worked overtime.

But today, Blade saw Whistler, who rarely smoked, sitting in the sun.

Seeing Blade's returning figure, he winked and said,

"A friend has sent you a gift! I think you'll be happy when you see it."

Blade frowned in surprise and asked,

"A friend, who are you talking about?"

"Relax, I've checked. There's no conspiracy. And I think the guy is not bad." Whistler winked and pointed to a nearby empty lot.

Facing Whistler's rare playful tone, Blade was somewhat puzzled. He followed the direction Whistler pointed and saw a large container.

Whistler never lied to him, so without hesitation, Blade opened the container's door.

Inside were six military Humvees, their rugged lines particularly eye-catching in the sunlight. Blade shrugged and closed the door.

Turning around, he looked at a figure slowly rising in the sky. A strange smile appeared on his face.

"Good job, buddy!"
