Chapter 197 True. Unexpected Gains!
Chapter 197 True. Unexpected Gains!
When Arthur saw Harris place an ancient silver ring on the coffee table, a suspicion arose within him because the ring looked very similar to the "Ring of Equilibrium Blood" and "Blood of Doting." Then when Arthur picked it up—
[Name: Blood Bat Ring]
[Type: Ring]
[Quality: Hero]
[Attributes: Blood Bat]
[Requirements: None]
[Remarks: Everything is in the transformation as planned. Discovering that their son, through his relentless efforts, was about to possess a shred of 'Talent,' the Blood Marquis and Marchioness were overjoyed. They embraced and wept together in their room. However, they were also constantly on guard, knowing that as their son possessed 'Talent,' the attitudes of certain people would inevitably change. Thus, the Blood Marquis and his wife quietly made preparations, and the 'Blood Bat Ring' was one of them. Inside the ring, they engraved their blessings for their son—no one understands the cruelty of this world better than we do; we simply wish for your safety]
…
[Blood Bat: At the cost of half of your own fresh blood, create a terrifying Blood Bat to serve you]
?Note 1: Only one Blood Bat can exist at the same time?
?Note 2: After the death of the Blood Bat, it can be summoned again, but it still requires half of the blood from your body during a complete state?
?Note 3: The Blood Bat created has certain differences from the traditional Blood Bat, but when created by you, it will naturally follow the contract?
?Note 4: After the Blood Bat is created, it needs to be fed with your fresh blood. Additionally, each time it feeds, it will gain some growth until it reaches its natural limit.?
?Note 5: When a member of the 'Bloodline Clan' is not using this ring to create a 'Blood Bat,' it must use all of the blood in their body.?
…
Looking at the [Blood Bat Ring] in his hand, even though Arthur had anticipated something, he was still surprised.
If the 'Blood Bride' serving the 'Bloodline Clan' in battles everywhere is a valuable vanguard, then the 'Blood Bat' is a pure war machine.
An adult 'Blood Bat,' with wings spread ten meters wide, fears neither sword nor knife, flies at extreme speed, can silence its own flight noise, and is extremely sharp, able to detect otherwise undetectable enemies. It also spits out sonic waves that destroy everything before them, turning even the sturdiest castles to ash under the roar of a Blood Bat.
However, just like the thirty-seven Blood Brides of the past, four Blood Bats also disappeared with the death of the 'Blood Marquis.'
'To think there would be a [Blood Bat Ring], even if it's different from the traditional Blood Bat, having half the power of a Blood Bat would be enough!'
Arthur thought to himself.
As for whole body blood?
[Exquisite Human Puppet] fears nothing.
Meanwhile, that dangerous, death-filled plan in his heart became even more prominent—the secret brought by [Exquisite Human Puppet] must not be revealed.
Thus, Harris must die. Continue reading stories on My Virtual Library Empire
However, Arthur showed nothing on his surface.
Instead, he looked at Harris with a strange, suspicious, and hesitant gaze.
Harris was immediately startled.
Because Arthur's gaze was not as he had anticipated.
He knew what the [Blood Bat Ring] could do, summoning a Blood Bat, but no one could actually summon it out because those who used all of their blood in the process would only die, and with the death of the wearer, the contract with the Blood Bat would directly disappear, and the Blood Bat would disappear as well.
So, Harris had already imagined what kind of astonished expression Arthur would have.
He might even be angry, but definitely not like this.
Could it be…
"You wouldn't be trying to tell me the 'Golden Cane' from 'Tate's Wand Store' is related to that 'Blood Descendants,' would you?"
Harris stared at Arthur, his gaze filled with a hint of nervousness.
"Hmm, you're half right.
It's not the 'Blood Descendants' we know, but another, earlier 'Blood Descendants'—he was the one who commissioned Tate to make a golden cane, which they used to smuggle gold.
Coincidentally, that Owner Tate is a police informant for Chief Malz.
Coincidentally, you had contact with this golden cane three days ago."
Arthur nodded and spoke slowly.
Then, without waiting for the new person in charge at Mouse Alley to speak, the young 'Spirit Medium' added with a meticulous tone.
"This item is not worth this price."
Harris had no mood to tangle with Arthur here anymore. He took out three scrolls from his bosom and threw them on the coffee table, his gaze at Arthur filled with inquiry.
"Does she know about this?"
By 'she,' he meant Marinda.
Arthur smiled.
"We are intimately in love—between us, there are no secrets,"
the young 'Spirit Medium' said.
"Perhaps we can collaborate further!"
Harris was still trying.
As the new person in charge of Mouse Alley, he knew very well what this matter signified.
The Countess's suspicion!
Once the Countess became suspicious, she would definitely investigate him!
And once she investigated, some things could no longer be hidden!
Damn it!
Why did I go back to 'Tate's Wand Store' again three days ago!
Every encounter with that guy never ends well!
Could he be my jinx?
Fuming inwardly, Harris maintained a calm facade and patiently awaited Arthur's response, even though he held little hope, but as the new head of Rat Tail Alley, he still clung to his luck.
Watching the inwardly anxious Harris, Arthur shook his head placidly—
"In a way, Marinda and I divide our labor clearly yet closely integrate it, complementing each other, and each handling what we are good at.
Therefore, after this message is relayed to you, you will need to discuss the details with Marinda.
Currently, her people are the ones responsible for tracking the 'Blood Descendant'.
Harris, you'd better not make rash moves, or you will suffer even greater losses.
After all, this also involves 'pirates'."
Pirates?
There's something about pirates too?!
Harris felt his head was about to explode.
How could everything happen all at once?
Everyone knows the Countess of South Los's ruthless treatment of pirates!
Phew!
The new head of Rat Tail Alley took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, knowing it wasn't the worst time yet.
Otherwise, it would have been the Countess's guard standing here, not the 'Spirit Medium'.
'There's still a chance!
I've already paid a corresponding price...
No!
Such a price is not enough!
Damn, these two guys want me to take the lead!'
Harris finally realized it, but it was impossible to change the outcome, he could not remain indifferent, whether he did those things before or not, as long as he still hoped to control Rat Tail Alley, he had to stand out.
Otherwise, he would just be sidelined by the Countess.
Or simply become a common staffer in the Staff Group.
These were the outcomes Harris refused to see!
He had irreplaceable interests in Rat Tail Alley!
Moreover, he had done those things.
Once discovered by the Countess, it would be a dead end!
Thinking of the Countess's methods, fear grew in the pit of Harris's stomach, but immediately, a fierce grin formed in his heart—
Correct!
There weren't many chances left for him!
But, there was still one chance to turn everything around!
In the last moment, to pin everything on the 'Spirit Medium' and that woman!
The determined new head of Rat Tail Alley stood up.
"I hope we can cooperate pleasantly!"
Leaving such words behind, the new head of Rat Tail Alley did not linger, but walked directly to the stairs.
Arthur watched his figure leaving, and as the sound of footsteps receded, a cold smile flashed through his mind—in just that moment, "Death Intuition" had flickered once again.
Obviously, the man was plotting something.
Arthur was indifferent to this.
After all, he planned to do the same.
Gently caressing the "Feast of Crows," Fujin then followed him very carefully.
But the next scene made Arthur laugh out loud.
He knew that this time—
He had made a huge profit!
