Chapter 206: Vampire Meets Wolf And Fox.
Esther returned, and this time, she was wearing a fitted black suit that accentuated her curvy body, along with a fur coat.
"Count Alucard, please call me Madam when we're out of this place." She asked Victor, hoping he would do so.
"Sure thing, Witch." Victor spoke as he looked at the woman's clothes with a curious look.
"..." Will he keep calling me Witch? Esther was speechless.
After observing the woman's clothes for a while, Victor lost interest and spoke:
"Lead the way."
"..." Again, the woman didn't know how to react. Why is he treating her as if she were his maid? She's not, okay!?
But...
"Fine." She couldn't refuse…
After all, the man in front of her was a Count Vampire and the husband of her 'boss'.
The two walked towards the exit, and soon the door was closed.
...
"My nightclub/Bar/mercenary center doesn't have many interesting places. The only place I'm sure you'll like is the nightclub itself."
"Hmm... Why did you put so many '/' to define your establishment?" Victor was really curious about this.
He looked around with his gaze and saw the figure of a woman, but this woman had a chaotic aura. He became interested in this woman's aura, but when he turned that way and went to the place where the woman was, the aura of the woman disappeared, and she became an ordinary human.
'Hmm…' When Victor started to think of something, his thoughts were interrupted by Esther.
"...Originally, my nightclub was a meeting place for supernaturals, so, of course, strange business would be done, but..."
Esther turned around and spoke with a faint smile, "We mainly deal with hiring mercenaries, gathering and selling information."
Victor looked at Esther and said:
"...But you still don't compare yourself to the Queens' witches, right?" He decided he would look into it later.
Seeing Victor's neutral face, Esther was a little disappointed and turned around. She knew she couldn't compare with the Queens' witches, but it's hard to compete with an old woman who had been building her empire before she was even born.
'Although... This place would be more reliable if someone had control of this woman.' Victor thought that if someone wanted to have an information network, they should just control or come to terms with this woman since she seemed to be competent. Though both the witches and this woman in front of him weren't trustworthy enough, but at least the witches fulfilled their contract.
Despite having thought of it, Victor still hadn't had a bad experience with witches like Ruby had since the only witches he'd come in contact with so far were June, Hecate, and this woman now.
Walking down the stairs, the sound of the nightclub grew louder as Victor descended, and soon Victor found himself in a nightclub full of supernatural beings.
Victor's eyes unconsciously began to glow blood red:
"Whoaa." He opened his mouth in shock as his world filled with colors. Despite everything being red, as usual, some people had colorful auras, and some even had animal shapes covering their bodies.
"..." Esther flashed a small satisfied smile when she saw Victor's reaction and thought he was in awe of her nightclub.
"...!" Feeling a dangerous gaze watching them, they all stopped what they were doing and looked towards the stairs.
And soon they saw a tall man beside Madam.
The moment everyone saw the man's appearance and his blood-red eyes, everyone immediately recognized him.
"... AAA. Ouch!" Someone bit their tongue.
"COUNT ALUCARD!?"
"W-What...!?" Someone rubbed his eyes several times and couldn't believe he was seeing a Count in this place.
"He is here!?"
"What should we do!?"
"What an overreaction..." He had just entered casually, okay? And it's not like he did anything unusual. He just beat up some beings and challenged the king, that was all!
In a strange way, was Victor very humble? He didn't believe what he did was an achievement. After all, he was just being himself.
[This is normal.]
"This is normal."
"..." Again, Victor was speechless when he heard Kaguya and Esther in perfect sync.
[This woman, I'm starting to like her.] Kaguya looked a little pleased. contemporary romance
[You are so cheap, don't sell yourself easily because someone praised our master!] Bruna complained.
[Kaguya is cheap...] Eve supported.
[I'm not cheap!] Kaguya growled.
They seemed to be getting along in a strange way.
"What is he doing here…?" a woman asked while looking at Victor curiously.
"I don't know, but prepare for anything, a visit from a Count is never a good thing." A man who was beside the woman spoke.
"You're exaggerating, he doesn't look like someone who is going to destroy this place because someone insulted him." The same woman spoke.
"Indeed, he doesn't look like a young master." A nearby woman supported her.
"He's probably just going to fight that person and send them to the next world." Another nearby woman spoke up.
"Indeed, indeed." A woman of Kaguya's height nodded as if in agreement with the two women.
"...I'm curious, how can you know how he will react just by seeing his appearance?"
"Instinct." The three spoke at the same time.
The man opened his mouth in shock for a few seconds, and then he said:
"Such bullshit!"
"Well, if you don't believe it, that's your problem." The woman next to the man spoke up.
"What-." The man looked like he was going to say something, but he was interrupted when a change started to occur in the nightclub.
"Oh?" Victor suddenly vanished and then reappeared in front of the counter while facing a man.
"F-Fast." Few got to see what Victor did.
"As expected of a count, he is strong!" Some women had their eyes glittering dangerously.
They could easily tell that he wasn't even trying when he demonstrated that speed. He did something unbelievable as if it was something common!
"Again, this female instinct talk is bullshit!" The same man spoke.
"Shut up!" The three women punched the man in the face.
"Ughyaaa!" He made a strange scream.
"...Well..." Eddy was in a cold sweat now, while he looked like a baby chick that was being stared at by a stronger predator.
'Why is he so tall?' To Eddy, Victor appeared to be much taller than he really was.
Victor ignored Eddy's gaze and looked up a little as if he was looking at something, his smile grew a little, and he turned to the witch:
"You really have good taste, Witch."
A small bead of sweat fell from Esther's face:
"...What are you talking about?"
"...I see, you're going to play this game." Victor's smile grew a little.
Gulp.
Several people gulped when they saw this man's smile, and they were shocked when he...
He sat in the chair and ordered a drink.
"Give me anything, little fox."
'Little fox…?' Everyone turned their heads in confusion and didn't understand what he was talking about.
"!!!" Eddy and Esther's eyes gleamed widely.
"H-How!?"
"Who knows?" Victor flashed his usual smile.
[Little fox...?] Kaguya didn't understand why her master called him that, but after she thought for a while, her eyes widened.
[Don't tell me...] She stared at the man with a serious look.
"..." An awkward silence fell around. No one knew what to do, so they just kept looking at Victor, who was sitting with a small smile on his face as he looked at the man.
"Hello, little fox? Give me anything suitable for a vampire."
"O-Okay." Despite being surprised, Eddy did as Victor asked.
Victor looked at Esther out of the corner of his eye, "Witch, sit with me for a while, let's have a drink."
"... Okay."
Internally, Esther was cursing Natalia for letting this man come to this place.
...
"What is it?" Victor asked curiously as he looked at the drink in front of him. The drink was in a wine glass, the liquid was red, and it had some ice in it.
"That's a special vampire Drink."
"...This is blood, right?" Victor looked at Eddy.
"Wrong. Actually… This is blood, but different." He was going to deny it, but he couldn't deny that it was blood, so in the end, he gave up.
"Oh?"
"Go ahead and try it."
"Okay."
Victor took the glass and drank it all in one gulp.
"Oh? It tastes like orange."
"As you know, vampires have only one meal, blood. So we tried everything to explore new flavors derived from blood." Esther began to explain:
"What you drank is basically blood, but it has magic inside to slightly change the taste to simulate the flavor of normal food."
"Ohhhh, this is interesting."
"Indeed. Us-... Wait, I have a call." Esther was going to say something, but when she felt her cell phone vibrate in her pocket, she stopped what she was going to say and got up from the place.
Moving away from Victor, she removed her cell phone and put a little isolation spell around her, and, looking at the name on the cell, she answered the phone and said:
"Ruby?"
"Esther, don't hit on my husband, or I'll kill you."
"..."
"That's a very appropriate way to start a conversation."
"..." Ruby didn't answer, while she just stayed silent.
Feeling a shiver down her spine, Esther quickly said, "Look, I know, okay? I have no interest in that sort of thing," she lied. She was only interested in that kind of thing when the man was under her complete control. She enjoyed it more that way and liked to treat men as her personal toy.
And that's something inevitable when you live for a long time since you end up picking up some weird fetishes. Esther's fetish was being in control of everything.
"And he didn't seem interested in me even though I was naked."
"..."
'Shit.' Esther cursed her mouth now.
Ruby's voice came out colder and darker than usual, "We'll talk later." She suddenly hung up the phone.
"Ruby? Ruby!?" Esther looked at her cell phone and saw that the call had ended.
"Fuck!" She was getting a bad feeling about this.
Esther didn't have much time to grieve because when she turned to face the entrance to the nightclub, she saw a tall, white-haired man enter.
'Fuck, Johnny? He came at a worse time.'
...
'Hmm, it took a while, but I managed to convince all the girls to move to my house. As long as Anderson is in town, that is the safest place for them.' Johnny didn't trust Anderson at all.
'I'll wait for Roberta today, Judy, and Jinsei is already home."
'Hmm?' Johnny looked at his usual seat and saw a man sitting there, he made a slightly annoyed expression, and as usual, he tapped the man on the shoulder and said:
"Hey Buddy, this seat is booked. Why don't you get off?"
"..." The environment that was already silent became even more silent, and it was as if no one dared to breathe.
"Oh." The man turned his face and looked at Johnny, he had a small smile on his face, a smile that promised trouble, but when the man looked at Johnny, his face became neutral.
Seeing the man's black hair, blood-red eyes, pale skin, and the suit he was wearing, the man understood something upon seeing this man's very visible features.
"Alucard, the fifth count..."
"Johnny! How are you, friend? Why don't you sit here!?" Eddy spoke as he pointed to a spot, his gaze said, 'don't cause fuckin' trouble!'
"Okay."
'He gave up!?' The crowd that knew Johnny was surprised by the man's decision.
The man continued to stare at Johnny with a neutral gaze:
"What's your name?"
"My name is Johnny, The White Wolf, a mercenary. I can do anything for the right price, but I will never kill children." He spoke in a neutral tone as he held up his hand for Eddy to give him a drink.
"Hmm..." The man tapped his finger lightly on the counter:
"Hey, look at me."
"Hmm-..." When Johnny looked into the man's eyes, he froze like a robot.
"What is your full name?"
"Jonathan Lykos."
"Lykos, huh..." He closed his eyes.
"What-... What was that?" He quickly turned away from Victor and looked at the man with a neutral but menacing gaze:
'I was just charmed? I? An alpha werewolf who should have resistance to this!? Just how strong is he?'
"..." Eddy and Esther, who were watching their conversation, were shocked by what just happened and unconsciously felt a chill down their spine.
After all, what Victor just did was impossible in their view. He just charmed a werewolf who should have a natural resistance to this power.
And it's not just any werewolf, it's an Alpha werewolf!
When they understood that they asked themselves the same question as Johnny: How strong is this man?
"To think I would find a relative of the old man here."
"Old?"
"Tell me, what are you of his? The son? The uncle? The grandfather?" This time, Victor asked normally as he took his wineglass from him and rocked it back and forth.
"What old man are you talking about?"
"...Don't pretend to misunderstand." Victor looked at Johnny out of the corner of his eye, "You know very well who I'm talking about."
"... I do not understand." He continued to play dumb.
"..." Victor's eyes narrowed, and a black aura began to leave his body.
Gulp.
Everyone who felt this aura unconsciously swallowed and took a step back.
"I'm talking about the alpha werewolf, Adam William Lykos. What are you to him?"
"..." A cold sweat came down on Johnny's forehead. He knew that if he answered an answer that didn't satisfy this man, something... Something terrible was going to happen.
"...I'm Adam's eldest son."
