Chapter 54 An Invitation from the Peaceful Vampire Clan
Chapter 54 An Invitation from the Peaceful Vampire Clan
Jiang Yanming looked at Eric's white eyes and said calmly, "Since you're looking for me, then you can make the call right here."
"No problem." Eric nodded repeatedly.
Although he was stubborn, he was not stupid. Knowing that he had really angered Jiang Yanming, he dared not disobey.
"It's me." After his phone was destroyed by the electronic pulse, Eric had no choice but to contact his employer through a module inside his body.
"The situation is terrible. All the 'bodyguards' you sent are dead, and even I have been captured," Eric said. "Ah... why am I still alive? Of course, it's because I know J, otherwise I would have died like your men long ago."
"The mission failed, I'll refund your deposit... Feed? Hello! Did you hang up?" Eric shook his head slightly, then tilted his head and asked, "Jiang, does Ramos have any modified doctors? It's very strange not being able to see."
"Yes, it's in the north of Milin City," Jiang Yanming replied after checking the newly received email.
The email mentioned that Ramos is a transit point between the Northern Continent and the Four Kingdoms Alliance. Many mercenary teams temporarily withdraw from the Northern Continent and often choose to stop and rest in Ramos. Therefore, Ramos has many places that provide mercenaries with various supplies and entertainment.
"Take me to fix the vision module," Eric urged, getting up to hurry.
"I haven't finished my mission yet," Jiang Yanming said calmly. "We'll talk about it after I finish the mission."
"What is your mission? To obtain core information?" Eric asked hurriedly.
"Yes." Jiang Yanming nodded.
"I have all the information you need," Eric said matter-of-factly. "Their supercomputer is completely open to me, so I made a copy while protecting their core data."
"Huh?" Jiang Yanming was somewhat surprised. "Are you serious?"
It's normal for cyber hackers to come into contact with their employers' core data while on the job, but ethical cyber hackers would not copy core data, let alone hand it over to the enemy.
"These core data are just backups. I'm worried you also have supercomputers providing computing power. If I can't hold on any longer, you can destroy the database as a last resort," Eric shrugged.
"Alright, send me the core data. After you complete the mission, I'll take you to see the modification doctor," Jiang Yanming said.
Since Eric didn't care about professional ethics, he had no reason to stop him. The most important thing was to bring trouble to the monsters after completing the mission.
"I've sent the data to your email," Eric said after a couple of seconds. "Check if it's correct."
Jiang Yanming logged into his email through the white arm protector and checked the data in the email attachments. After comparing it with the company list he remembered, he found that some companies were not on the list. Obviously, these were companies that Mr. G had not been able to find.
"No problem, let's go." Jiang Yanming sent an email to Mr. G, then led Eric out of the factory and headed to the north of the city to find the modification doctor.
……
Two hours later.
Inside a private villa in the northern part of Milin City.
Jiang Yanming watched as Eric lay on the operating table, a masked surgeon performing the operation. Eric's whitish eyeballs were removed, revealing the flesh and electronic components inside the eye sockets.
He was not unfamiliar with the scene before him. Old Jack, a familiar face in his memory, was a skilled modification doctor who could also maintain and repair aircraft.
"Oh, this is a high-end product manufactured with military technology, a module with such strong resistance to electronic pulse interference, how could it malfunction?"
The surgeon, wearing a magnifying glass, examined the removed eyeball on the worktable and couldn't help but sigh.
"It could be due to a close-range electro-pulse attack," Eric replied, lying on the operating table. "It could also be because it was recently implanted and hasn't been properly integrated yet."
"I see." The modification doctor nodded in realization, then added, "I don't have original parts here. Only the Four Nations Alliance has original parts like this. So if you want a perfect eyeball repair, you can only go to the Four Nations Alliance."
"Can't I regain my sight?" Eric asked quickly.
"No, that's not it." The modification doctor shook his head slightly and said, "I will replace your parts with non-original ones. If you don't activate the visual module's combat function, it should last for ten days to half a month."
"That's good." Eric relaxed a lot upon hearing this.
A few minutes later.
"Okay, now all we need to do is install it."
The chair beneath the surgeon spun around, turning him to face the operating table. His gloved hands held triangular forceps, gripping an eyeball with a blue pupil.
"Don't move, I'll put your left eye in first," the surgeon advised, before beginning to install the eyeball on Eric.
"I can see now!" Eric exclaimed joyfully as his left eye was fitted. "Hurry up and fit my right eye too."
"Right away, don't rush." The modification doctor slowly and deliberately used triangular tweezers to pick up the other eyeball and place it in Eric's right eye socket.
"How are you feeling?" the modification doctor asked with a smile.
"Very good," Eric exclaimed sincerely. "It's really great to have a visual experience."
"Thank you, 100,000 Naals," the modified doctor said with a smile.
"One hundred thousand nars?" Eric looked astonished upon hearing the offer.
"That's right, it's 100,000 Naals," the modification doctor said with a faint smile.
"Why is it so expensive?" Eric couldn't help but frown.
"It's always been this price. If someone undergoes a high degree of modification and I have to treat them, even for the smallest surgery, it'll cost 100,000 nars," the modification doctor explained. "This is the minimum starting price."
"Alright." Eric had no choice but to transfer the money to the modification doctor.
Whether in the cyborg community or the cyber hacker community, there's a saying that goes, "It's best not to offend a cyborg doctor!"
"That's really unfair." As soon as he stepped out of the villa, Eric couldn't help but complain, "Old Jack probably wouldn't charge me for a minor surgery like this."
"That's because Old Jack is a good friend of the teacher," Jiang Yanming said from the side. "If it weren't for that relationship with the teacher, do you think Old Jack would still take care of you?"
"I know," Eric sighed and nodded.
"Now that your vision has returned to normal, do you still want me to take you home?" Jiang Yanming asked calmly.
"No need, I can go back by myself." Eric shook his head, recalling Jiang Yanming's warning, and said, "Jiang, I admit defeat this time. You are more qualified than me to inherit 'Light and Shadow'. I won't bother you anymore."
"A wise decision." Jiang Yanming glanced at Eric, his voice flat and devoid of any emotion. "Go back by yourself; I won't see you off."
Eric glanced at Jiang Yanming's eyes furtively upon hearing this and saw that they were an unnatural red. He couldn't help but shudder and immediately sensed that something was very wrong!
At this moment, Jiang Yanming suddenly stopped, stood still with his eyes closed, and opened them again after several seconds, his eyes returning to normal.
"Jiang, are you... alright?" Eric hesitated, as if he had the urge to run away as soon as he sensed something was wrong.
"It's nothing," Jiang Yanming said calmly. "My employer sent me a message, and I need to contact him."
"Oh, go ahead." Eric nodded quickly. "I'll go to the Quad's embassy and return to the Quad through the embassy."
"Hmm." Jiang Yanming nodded slightly and walked towards the quiet riverbank.
"As my physique continues to grow stronger, the influence of the demon's blood on me also intensifies, and negative emotions erupt more and more frequently."
Arriving at the riverbank, Jiang Yanming gazed at the flowing water and couldn't help but wonder, "Is it because the demon's blood is corrupting my body and my mind?"
It's good to have a strong physique, but it's also a bad thing, because the owner of that drop of blood is not friendly; the blood is the coordinate that guides the other party.
Without a doubt, the demon that failed to descend was terrifying. The mere amount of power transmitted through the spatial channel turned Chairman Furen and Mr. Aruk into madmen who only knew how to praise the abyss.
Even for a cultivator at the late stage of Qi Refining, if it weren't for the protective jade talisman of a Nascent Soul cultivator, he would most likely have met the same fate.
Jiang Yanming took out his phone, saw the change on the screen, and then took out a white arm guard from his storage ring and put it on.
He looked around and, seeing no one, contacted his employer, Mr. G, through his white arm guard.
"It's a pleasure to receive your call, Mr. J," came the voice of an elderly man from the white arm guard.
"Who are you?" Jiang Yanming asked calmly. "Where is Mr. G?"
"I am Mr. G, the real Mr. G," the old man said calmly. "Mr. J, or you should be called Mr. Jiang the Witcher, you should know who the enemy is for this mission."
"Are you a vampire? Or a werewolf?" Jiang Yanming asked.
"We are vampires, not lowly creatures like vampires," the old man solemnly corrected.
"You're fighting amongst yourselves, that's interesting," Jiang Yanming said with a faint smile.
"I prefer to call it a clash of ideologies," the old man explained. "They are the Adventists, and I am the Peacemakers."
"If they succeed, will you still be a pacifist?" Jiang Yanming smiled contemptuously.
"Hmm...that's right. If they had succeeded, I would have changed my mind." The old man admitted directly, then sighed, "But they failed, stirring up war in the Northern Continent and making it even harder for our vampire clan to hide."
"So you plan to abandon them and gain the understanding of the four-nation alliance?" Jiang Yanming asked.
Faced with this question, the old man remained silent for a moment before answering, "For the survival of the tribe, it is worth it even if we have to sacrifice 70% of our people."
"Only 70%?" Jiang Yanming was somewhat surprised. "It seems that the so-called Adventists are fewer than I imagined."
"Not every vampire or werewolf wants a higher-level being to descend," the old man said meaningfully, "just like the Divine Martial Kingdom."
"Heh, it seems you know a lot about the Divine Martial Kingdom." Jiang Yanming chuckled. "So what did you call me here for? To express the attitude of your so-called pacifist faction?"
"Mr. Jiang, you were recommended by the Four Nations Alliance, so I suppose the Four Nations Alliance also intends to do so," the old man said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yanming had a sudden inspiration.
He had just acquired his identity as a cyber hacker when he received this mission to acquire data, and as he had guessed, the world changed simultaneously with the acquisition of his identity.
Therefore, in other people's minds, his identity as an electronic hacker has always existed and does not contradict his previous identity.
As for why the Quad recommended him, it was mostly related to his father.
"Can I represent the Divine Martial Kingdom?" Jiang Yanming asked, trying to learn more about his father's past from the old man.
"Several members of the martial arts alliance of the four-nation alliance will participate in the final siege." The old man's words were tinged with sadness. "If Mr. Jiang is interested, he can also participate in or observe the final siege."
"When?" Jiang Yanming became interested. It was rare to see councilors with Qi and Blood Condensation Realm, let alone several.
"On the evening of June 4th," the old man replied.
"Where is it?" Jiang Yanming pressed.
"Mr. Jiang, you can go to any high-end hotel in Dulan City. I will send someone to pick you up then," the old man said.
"Okay, how will I be paid for completing the mission?" Jiang Yanming's eyes narrowed slightly.
"As agreed, I will have someone transfer the remaining 3000 million Nair to Mr. Jiang's account." The old man readily handed over the money.
"Mission complete. See you in Dulan City on June 4th." Jiang Yanming said and hung up the phone.
With the official endorsement of the four-nation alliance, he was inclined to believe that the other party had not spoken, and moreover, with his strength, he was not afraid that the other party was lying!
……
the other side.
An elderly man, pale as a ghost, slumped weakly in his chair for a long while after ending his call before finally getting up and dialing again: "Councilor Ling, I've invited Mr. Jiang over. Does what you said before still stand?"
A man's hearty laughter came from the other end of the phone: "Very good, I will speak on your behalf on behalf of the Martial Arts Alliance. As for what the Four Nations Alliance should do, that is not something I can decide."
"That's enough, thank you, Councilor Ling." A slight smile appeared on the old man's face; this was one of the few pieces of good news he had heard recently.
"Let me remind you, if Mr. Jiang doesn't come, you should know the consequences!" the man threatened.
"I promise to bring Mr. Jiang over," the old man replied solemnly.
"I hope so," the man said, and then hung up the phone.
The old man put down his phone, his face grim.
He couldn't quite understand Jiang Yanming. How could a citizen of the Divine Martial Kingdom become a Demon Hunter and even disrupt the Blood Clan's meticulously planned descent ceremony, which had been in the works for over a century?
If it weren't for Councilor Ling from the Divine Martial Kingdom taking it seriously, he would have liked to make the other party disappear!
"Jiang...who exactly are you?" the old man murmured softly.
……
It was evening on June 4th.
Jiang Yanming had already taken a plane from Miling City to Dulan City, the capital of the Republic of Ramos.
He waited at the best hotel in Dulan for the old man who claimed to be the real Mr. G to send someone to pick him up so he could watch the final siege.
dong dong dong...
There was a sudden knock on the door.
"Mr. Jiang, Mr. Gretel sent me to pick you up." A woman's voice came from outside.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yanming opened the door and saw a beautiful woman standing respectfully outside.
"Who is Greet?" Jiang Yanming asked.
"That is, Mr. G," the woman replied with a smile.
"I see." Jiang Yanming nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "Wait a moment, I'll pack my things."
"Do you need my help?" the woman asked with a smile.
"No need, it will be quick."
Jiang Yanming turned around and went back to the room. While pretending to get his suitcase, he took out a protective jade talisman from his storage ring and held it in his hand.
"Let's go."
Jiang Yanming, pulling his suitcase, followed the other person as they left the hotel in a car.
