9 9: Drug Lords

Inside the brightly lit drug house.

The two middle-aged men sat there quietly and looked at each other for a second before one of them pulled out a bottle of wine from under the table.

"I'm good, get straight to the point Frank," the stern-looking middle-aged man with sharp eyes said as he noticed the other man pull out a bottle of wine.

Frank paused in his actions and placed the wine back under the table before he released a calm breath of air.

"Mr. Barnes, you sure are a straightforward person," Frank said with a forced chuckle, although his brows were furrowed slightly, he tried not to show it too much.

Frank was a short man with a burly physique, he looked very strong and intimidating even while being extremely short.

Mr. Barnes didn't say anything, he just continued looking at Frank as if waiting for something.

A cold glint of light flashed past Mr. Barnes' spectacles as he kept his eyes on Frank with an expressionless face.

Mr. Barnes was covered in jewelry from head to toe, his rings were made with the finest of diamonds and even his teeth seemed to have gold in them.

"Don't worry, I have the money for this month, but... I also had another matter I wanted to talk to you about today" Frank said as he motioned towards one of the guards who was holding onto a huge gun.

The guard nodded and walked into a room before bringing back a huge leather duffle bag and placing it calmly behind Frank before stepping back respectfully.

Mr. Barnes looked at the duffle bag with a smirk before looking back at Frank.

"hurry up, tell me whatever you have to say, you know I'm busy even at this time of the night," Mr. Barnes said sternly, but his mood seemed to have lightened a bit after seeing the duffle bag.

Frank took notice of this and secretly smiled in his heart before beginning to speak.

Stephan who was currently on the top floor slowly and calmly approached all the guards who were hidden around the corners like mannequins.

With a simple move, Stephan was able to easily take out all three of the guards and devour all of their blood.

As for the strippers and dancers who were in the room, Stephan knocked all of them out casually before making his way downstairs.

As Stephan took his last step, he hid behind the wall and watched as the two drug lords interacted with each other.

As much as Stephan wanted to make a move, he didn't want to risk anything, after all these drug lords definitely weren't easy to take out, plus they most likely had a lot of tricks under their sleeves.

As Stephan was coming up with a plan, he noticed one of the guards yawn before approaching another guard, after talking for a while he then made his way upstairs.

"I should slowly take out all these guards first," Stephan said in his heart, after devouring so much human blood, his strength has increased so much compared to when he first became a vampire.

But, the more regular human blood that Stephan devoured, it was slowly losing its effect, now he could barely gain one stat point from one of these guards.

Stephan felt that it was stupid, but it was probably because he was already strong to a certain extent now, perhaps only the blood of stronger opponents could increase his stats.

Maybe when he became a true vampire, regular human blood wouldn't even increase his stats anymore, it would be nothing more than a nice meal with no benefit except for the satisfaction part of it.

Stephan stepped stealthily as the guard made his way upstairs, he then quietly hid in a dark corner and watched as the guard approached.

This guard was pretty tall, he tightly held the large gun in his hand and walked up the stairs, but he soon widened his eyes in shock as he saw stains of blood all over the wooden tiles.

Puchi!

before the guard could react, he was slowly killed and he died.

Stephan didn't hold back and devoured the guard's blood, and as he expected, he gained nothing out of it.

"f"*ck, if I don't gain anything from these guys, how the hell will I become a true vampire?" Stephan was in a dilemma as he thought back to the system's words.

"Maybe it's not based on my stats, but on how much human blood I devour?" He contemplated, this was logical, after all, he basically couldn't gain blood from regular humans anymore, and if he went out to hunt superhumans for their blood, it was no different than asking to be killed and used in a laboratory.

[Ding!

The host is correct, becoming a true vampire depends solely on the amount of human blood you devour, since you have stopped gaining stat points from human blood, it means you are very close to your goal, please keep it up] The system's mechanical female voice was heard.

"so that's it?" Stephan had a look of realization on his face before slowly making his way back downstairs.

With the Absence of the other guard, there were only 3 or so more guards inside the room with the two drug lords.

None of them suspected anything.

Stephan stood in a dark corner and pulled out a dagger from his inventory, this was one of the many weapons which he had found in his inventory.

The guards in the room were all stationed in many corners of the room, a little farther away from the many women who could be seen enjoying themselves on the leather couches and eating fruits.

Stephan's eyes gained a crimson glow and his eyes locked onto a guard who was standing there intimidatingly.

swoosh!

a flash of light could be seen.

The dagger in Stephan's hand shot off like a bullet and accurately pierced through the guard's neck.

The Guard struggled to speak as blood poured out of his mouth and he gripped onto his bleeding neck, as much as he wanted to groan out in pain he could only clutch onto his neck and fall to his knees before collapsing.
