“Vampires are undead, suicide victims, or witches, but vampires can also be created from evil spirits that enter a corpse and through the bite of another vampire. The legend of vampires is widespread, and in some places, it is even causing mass hysteria because some people are being accused of being vampires," said Vincent, murmuring the book he was reading.
“The process of becoming a vampire varies according to different beliefs. In Slavic and Chinese beliefs, if a cat or dog stepped on a corpse, it would become undead. In Russian, vampires are witches or humans who, during their lifetime, oppose the Church."Vincent frowned slightly when he read the last sentence, but then he continued.
“Cultural rituals are sometimes performed to prevent recently deceased people from turning undead. The tradition continued to develop into the Greek belief of vrykolakas, in which a cross and pottery with the inscription Jesus Christ reigns were placed with a co
Michael Emerson walked into a treatment room to see the doctor, Brandon Meadow. The doctor will perform Brandon's arm surgery. He is waiting for his schedule. As soon as he saw Mike get into his room, Brandon looked away in annoyance.“Idiot cop!” He cursed while murmuring.“Good afternoon, Mr. Meadow. How are you?" Mike asked just to make small talk for a moment. He stood at Brandon's bedside without his faint smile."What do you think?" Brandon quipped annoyingly. The doctor who treated Brandon just glanced at him and then took the patient's record to check it."I'm sorry about your situation. If there's anything we can do, just say it," Mike said again, making Brandon even more annoyed. He snorted and glared at Mike.“Have you guys caught that bastard?” He cursed in annoyance. Mike knew what he meant, but he chose to remain casual."What do you mean, Vincent Cox?""Who else would dare break my arm if n
Vincent sat in a chair with a simple table before him, staring at a glass of water. The sister who came to put the mirror away had probably left the room about an hour ago."Why haven't you drunk the water?" Zachary asked, then sat down in the chair facing Vincent."I don't want to drink now, Father. I..." Vincent paused and looked at the glass filled with water."My child, what exactly are you thinking? Tell me what happened to you," said Zach, persuading Vincent to talk. Vincent looked gloomy and continued to lower his gaze. Zach kept looking at Vincent and hoping he would say. He waited patiently, although Vincent still kept his mouth tightly shut."Do you know how this house of God accepts all His followers without exception? There is no unforgivable sin, my son." Zach was still talking to Vincent, who just looked at him."I...""Just say it. Did you commit a crime?" Vincent nodded."But... I didn't kill..." Vincent accidentally s
"Is this how you lie? You said you were a vampire to scare me." Zach accused Vincent of lying instead of believing that he was a vampire."I'm not lying, Father!""Oh really? You went into the library and read a book about vampires, and now you claim to be the one?" Zach quipped back at Vincent."Father, if you don't believe me, why are you helping me? If I don't believe you, why would I help you? I'd better just let those two robbers kill you!" Vincent said, making Zach silent."We help based on love and humanity," continued Zach in a low tone."I feel the same way...""The vampire doesn't exist, Vincent. Don't make it up!" It was clear that Zach still couldn't trust Vincent completely."Why would I lie?""If you are a vampire, what is the proof? Do you suck blood?" Vincent immediately nodded."I killed two crooks who were going to rob you first. I sucked their blood, and it turned out they turned into vampires. I kille
Michael Emerson returned to the NYPD from the hospital to continue his work. He began to feel something strange about the connection between Brandon Meadow and Vincent Cox, including the Horus Tech company, which employs them both. The company was unconcerned and did not want to provide proper information.His boss, Captain Donny Fernandez, was waiting when he arrived at his office. As police chief, Donny must ensure his deputies are still working on the specified lines."Sir, what are you doing in my room?" said Mike as soon as he walked in. Donny was standing near Mike's desk and nodded."I came to talk to you for a moment! There have been reports from some officers that you gave them too much pressured to get involved in the Cox case. Is that true?" Donny asked with a serious expression.Mike pulled his smirk, and he shook his head. He snorted a little softly and sarcastically."I thought the police's job is to find information to reveal the tru
Michael got out of his car in a hurry to go to a cafe that was open in Manhattan. He could only turn on the cell phone after charging it in the car. Mike completely forgot his cell phone because he was too busy with work.He entered the cafe and looked around in all directions to look for Jennifer."Sorry, I'm late. Have you been waiting long?" said Mike as he pulled out a chair to sit down. Jennifer gave him an annoyed and flat expression. He had often experienced this situation, as Mike frequently forgot his promises."I've been waiting for almost three hours without hearing from you. When are you going to change, Mike? I'm bored of being like this!" Jennifer said it emotionally. His face looked very disappointed in Michael for his endless work."I'm sorry, Jen. I just remembered. My phone ran out of battery, and I didn't realize it. Mike tried to explain calmly. He had to stop when a waiter served him a cup of coffee."Are there any other orders
Jennifer was about to get into her car but thought better of it—the annoyance and anger accumulated in Mike, making her turn around and cross back into the cafe. The matter is over, like the relationship. Unfortunately, Jennifer didn't want to obtain it at all.However, when she opened the door to go back inside, Jennifer witnessed a sight that made her jealous and angry. Mike was talking to a beautiful young girl while smiling and chuckling.The feeling of heat and irritation quickly flooded her mind, burning with jealousy. Mike had never been like that to him. Jennifer approached with her tense rage."Mike! So you broke up with me for this? for her!" Jennifer yelled at Michael, who was jolted that Jennifer had returned. Mike was confused when he saw her, who immediately attracted visitors' attention. Not only that, Grace was also perplexed by what happened. She didn't even know anything."Jen, what are you doing?" Feeling remorseful, Mike scolded Jennifer and moved closer to her. On
Rushing, Mike walked to the laboratory next to the main NYPD building. Investigators use the building to find answers to the traces left by criminals. The autopsy room, DNA identification, evidence, and sound lab are all fully available. The FBI is also working with them on the same facility."Jake!" Mike called, half running towards him. He gasped and then stopped in front of Jake. Jake asked Mike to get to the autopsy room. They will meet the doctor and also an investigator, Emma Orlando. Jake and Mike also wore special latex gloves to avoid touching the specimens carelessly."Detective Emerson, this is the report from the three victims. Number one, 24 years old, Elisabeth Morgan worked as a cashier at the Holland Mart on Ballmoore Street. Her boss reported she was missing yesterday after the morning she was found burned," said Dr Emma. Now, they walked to the other cadaver table."Number two is Olson Moore, who is 30 years old and unemployed. His last crimina
Mike and Jake arrived at the hospital after driving for about 20 minutes. They got ready directly behind the car and pointed their guns at the front door. Some people kept running out when police cars came to surround the hospital."Where's my vest?" said Mike, asking one of the policemen for a bulletproof vest. Jake and Mike took turns wearing vests and then gathered to design a strategy for barging the hospital."Find a way in! Is it true that Vincent Cox is in there?" Mike asked his team."According to the doctor who examined Cox, he said he was in the emergency room," answered one of the police. Mike's brow furrowed in astonishment."Why did he come to the hospital?""He said the hot silver cross burned his hands!" Mike's face bent backwards slightly, and he quickly turned to Jake, who was also surprised."We'll try the west side road," another police detective explained at the entrance."Emerson, you will lead, okay?" Mike nodded
Zach's long howl called for all his clan members to come immediately. Miles could hear the command in the long howl. It was the first time in hundreds of years that the last Alpha of the Silver clan had done so.The vampires instantly backed away in fear. The humans got scared and ran away. Meanwhile, Zach still showed his growl and sharp teeth, which would tear anyone who crossed him. If one of the vampires manages to escape, he will bring in more troops. This time, the werewolf and vampire war will be inevitable.Vincent has just returned from a distance and is fighting with the vampires again. He was wide-eyed when he saw a giant wolf fighting alone against the vampires."ALPHA!" shouted Scott, who came with Vincent."SCOTT!" Vincent shouted, wanting to stop him, but Scott turned into a wolf.Emma, Mike, Jake, and Grace were all shocked. But soon, they had to fight again. Vincent repels the vampires with his weapon. He did not hesitate to finish
Tonight, the sirens kept sounding non-stop. Some hospitals closed because their patients turned into vampires. Within hours, New York was in uncontrollable chaos. National Guard had isolated the city when Grace found herself trapped in Horus."I must go home!" she said insistently."You cannot do that. They closed the roads and there is no access to trains or taxis," said one of the soldiers guarding the company. All the employees were scared.In confusion, Grace returned to her room. She looked for a way to escape Horus as soon as possible. Grace believes that her home is still safe. As she was sneaking out, someone caught her arm."Hey!""Keep it quiet! Follow me!" Scott said he was pulling Grace."Where are we going?" Scott still wasn't talking. He didn't know Grace, but the girl had spoken and was close to Vincent. She should be someone to be protected. Scott just stopped in a quiet corner of the fifth floor."You want to go home,
"Da... Da...." Kyron stood up and started taking one step at a time to catch up with Vincent. Vincent ignored his baby. He was passing by and went up to the room. Zach turned around, stopped his grandson, and smiled."Daddy is tired, dear. Do you want to play? We'll meet your Daddy later," Zach persuaded Kyron, who pointed at the top of the stairs. Mike smiled at Kyron's increasingly intelligent and adorable growth. Unable to bear it, he also stroked Kyron's head. Zach carried Kyron and returned him to his nanny."Let's talk in my room," Zach asked Mike to come."What happened to Vincent?" Zach asked as soon as they entered."Vincent just found out that Kyron is his biological son." Zach widened his eyes for a moment."What?""Heather Meadow has been deceiving us all along. She was not pregnant by Chandler Donovan but by Vincent. Now, I must reinvestigate Chad Donovan's medical records this time."Zach was still stunned and held his chin. He never thought that fate would bring Vincent
Vincent Cox was drenching himself in whiskey since he came. Rather than returning to Horus or going home, Vincent chose to get drunk. He kept asking for more drinks until the bartender who served him started to scold him."Sir, you are drunk. Do I need to call someone so you can come home? Or do you want me to call a taxi?" The bartender offered Vincent. Vincent shook his head. He took another sip of his liquor and bottomed it."Sir?" The bartender rebuked again. Vincent rested his head in the folds of his arms on the bar table and groaned incoherently. The bartender sneered in annoyance as he heard a phone ring. He exited the bar and approached Vincent to help him get his cell phone."Does anyone call you? Do you want to pick it up?" The bartender still tried to help, but Vincent just chuckled strangely."Sir─""Call me the police!" Vincent groaned incoherently. The bartender was even confused. He already held Vincent's cell phone and saw Anderson
Scott Gillian holds the arm of Vincent Cox, who hears something that makes him freeze. It seemed like something was happening to Vincent, and Scott knew it. Even though he didn't know what it was."Mr. Cox?" Vincent was slightly startled. He snapped out of his thoughts and glanced at Scott."Scott, I have to go." Scott's brow furrowed."Where? We are still at work.""If that woman found me, I will be in danger!" Vincent admitted suspiciously."Who is she?" Do you know her?" Vincent clenched his jaw and swallowed hard."I don't know her that well. All I know is that she's not a good person. She will or probably will harm Mr. Silva. You'd better prevent her from seeing The CEO." Vincent was still half hissing, giving Scott strange orders.Of course, Scott frowned. He felt trapped in the most complicated situation."Mr. Cox!""Don't call me Mr. Cox anymore. I have to go now. Please tell CEO Silva I'm not feeling well and mu
Vincent Cox had just finished work tiringly. He looked at the wall clock and groaned annoyingly."Hey, where are you going, bud?" Brandon Meadow came to see Vincent as he was his best bud."I want to go home," sighed Vincent with a weary expression. Instead, Brandon grabbed him and pulled him out of the side street of the magnificent Horus Tech Corporation building."Come on, let's have a drink first." Brandon grinned at Vincent, and he wanted to refuse."I don't drink," said Vincent with a grimace. Brandon mocked and kept pulling him into the car."Come on, I want to drink with you tonight. you know what, Heather will come too," said Brandon, raising both eyebrows simultaneously. Vincent was stunned, and then his smile widened.Heather has been his crush for the past year. He doesn't dare to expose his feelings to the sexy and beautiful Heather. However, Vincent wants to date Heather."Okay." Vincent only thought about following Brandon. He went with Vincent in his old car, which cou
Heather Meadow searched all the homeless shelters in New York for her brother Brandon. He only had until tomorrow, or his life would be lost. Without Terrel Gilliant's help, the woman came to some places.She was increasingly tired and desperate. Where else should she look for Brandon, who turns out to be wanted by the police because of the murder case of Chad Donovan? The police named Brandon a suspect after establishing his guilt. Just before his arrest, Brandon fled.The case was no longer a priority after the vampire virus spread and caused chaos several times. Heather also had to be careful when walking openly. Vampires began to spread. Many cases were reported of attacks and people being bitten."Hey, Lady! Where are you going?" A homeless man with a pale face and red eyes blocked Heather, who was passing by. Heather stopped, then stepped back and dodged.Heather hurriedly ran away from the man. The man might attack her if she didn't leave immediate
Horus Tech will be different with the presence of Grace Baker today. She will work in their laboratory. Since the morning, Vincent has expressed his displeasure with the situation."What's wrong with you? Your face has been gloomy since last night," said Zach, serving Vincent a cup of coffee. Vincent shook his head slowly, then took a deep sigh."Have you drunk your blood?" Zach said casually. Vincent smiled, then nodded."It looks like we won't be able to talk too bluntly anymore when Kyron gets older," said Vincent, pursing his lips slightly. His eyes glanced slightly at Kyron, who was eating his favourite breakfast porridge."Are you afraid that he will find out that his father is a vampire?" Vincent then fell silent and chose to sip his coffee rather than answer. He knew that Kyron might not be able to accept his situation."Vince, if Kyron's blood samples could create an antiviral serum, would you try it?" Zach inquired with a severe expressio
Vincent's tired day made him limp out of the room to go home. Grace has gone home after receiving a short tour at Horus. She will start working tomorrow."Dave, wait!" Anderson yelled. Vincent was going to leave. He turned and walked to Anderson."I will not take your resignation. So keep coming to work tomorrow. If you need anything, I will give it to you. Okay?" Anderson firmly gave his decision on Vincent's request for resignation. Vincent couldn't possibly insist on this request any longer. Not because of Anderson's words but because Grace was determined to work at Horus. He had to protect the girl, even though he couldn't find a good reason."Yes, sir," answered Vincent in a resigned tone. Anderson smiled, then patted Vincent's arm and even encouraged him."I must thank you because Grace is willing to join this company. I'm sure you must have persuaded her too, right?" guessed Anderson with a smile. From the end of the corridor, Terrel oversaw Vincent. According to Terrell, Ander
