"Well. This seems a bit fun," I spoke as I smiled before moving another step towards them.

Their eyes widened, surprise filled their eyes. Turning a little, I saw Granny's expression changing too, while Irene simply kept asking her questions as if nothing ever happened. 

The Vampire I kicked then stood back up as he looked at me with a glare. His fangs showing, his eyes turned red as he roared at me before once again, this time at twice speed, he jumped in my direction.

"How fascinating,"I looked at his changed stats as he appeared near me and

-BOOM!!!

Once again, I punched him. This time on the ground, creating a crater right where I smashed his head. A normal human might have been dead by now, but this guy didn't even bleed.

Lifting him up by the hair, I made him face me as I spoke,"Let's see. You got fangs… they contain sedatives, huh? How fascinating. And then there are your eyes with mind magic. Other than that, you got super strength and invisibility too, huh?"

Maybe it was my casual approach, or perhaps my ways of analyzing that guy as if it were a specimen, but the expression of fear approaching on his face was no joke. It wasn't just him, but the others behind were equally tense now.

"LEAVE HIM ALONE!!!" A shout came from a distance as I saw another vampire. A Female one who was actually much stronger than the others. Looking at her stats, she was actually stronger than those three combined. 

I lifted the guy a bit more before throwing him to the other two weaklings as if it were a rag doll. Then I crunched my fingers a little as I looked at the female vampire coming at me with a metallic rod.

Reaching close to me, she first tried hitting me on the head. 

'She is using it like a baton, huh?' I thought as I slowly took a side step to the left, swiftly dodging it as I saw her movements getting faster. Looking at her skills, it seemed like she was just a strength monster with no proper skills.

-BOOM!!!!!! The rod hit the ground as I took another step to the left and turned towards the rod. Without any wasted movement, she swung the rod at me again. Carefully placing my hand above the rod, I jumped as I flipped my body over the rod before I landed on the other side.

She, on the other hand, didn't stop her swing as she did a 360 degree with an even faster swing, this time trying to hit my head. Placing my hands in my pocket, I then ducked immediately as I smirked,

"Aren't you a little monster?"

Missing my head. The rod reached behind her before she started putting on more strength as she prepared for another swing. But before she could even try

-Thap! I hit her hand before holding it tightly at her weak points near the wrists. Getting her wrists locked, her eyes widened as she looked at me with slight horror. Though I just kept smiling as I spoke,

"What's your name?"

"It's Eli,"she answered observing my face with her horror changing into confusion ever so slightly.

I left her weapon before I smiled as I spoke,"keep your kids to yourself. There will be no next time," before I walked away from her, leaving her at a stump as she simply stood there. Her eyes looked at the place where I locked her hand.

Ignoring everyone's eyes, I reached back into the shop, getting closer to Granny. She looked at me with a narrowed gaze as she spoke,

"Who are you?"

"The name is Michael,"I replied as I smiled at her. Her guard was totally up at this time while Irene chuckled a little as she moved closer to me, tucked her hand with mine as she spoke,"didn't I say granny? You need not to worry about Michael. He is strong."

"What do you want?" Granny asked again as she observed my face for a good while. On thee other hand, I pondered a little before something came into my mind,

"I have been sent on a task by someone whose name you cannot know."

Growing skeptical, she asked,"What task?"

"To save a certain entity named: Gallea. Daughter of the Vampire Veriscene,"I spoke as I looked at her. Her eyes widened up a lot as she stood from the stool.I think you should take a look at pandasnovel.com

"How do you know that name?" she asked as her expression turned beyond shocked. She couldn't believe what she was hearing right now. Did I say something that was known only to her? 

"That you need not to know. Well, I was going to find her myself, but I came here to ask you a couple of questions. Will that be fine, Miss Veriscene?"I asked as my smile widened, making her take a step back as she observed me.

"Just who the f*ck are you?" Eli entered the Shop too. Her goons were gone, I suppose. 

"I am Michael,"I answered her before turning back to Veriscene, who seemed to be having difficulty understanding my intentions here.

"What do you want from… my daughter?" She asked as her eyes started turning red as well. I gave it a bit of thought. A dhampir who possesses a special ability to manipulate dark magic, huh?

"I want someone capable of taking over a kingdom of mine and manage it,"I spoke bullshit like nobody's business. Though I was interested to see if she would work for me or not.

"And what if she doesn't want to do it?" Veriscene asked with her fangs slightly coming out. And I answered without hesitation,"I'll just let her go."

"Huh?" Stumped by my answer, she questioned my intentions even more.

"Though I doubt anyone would reject my offer. After all, in return for helping me, I am providing a dream life of sorts… only the delusion won't take it… or those who have already had everything they want." I was running out of nonsense to speak so I decided to end it here and move to the main topic,

"On that note Veriscene. Will you answer a couple of questions of mine?"

ƥandasnovel.com Irene then picked up a packet of chips before bringing the nearby chairs and placing it for me and herself. Opening up the chips, she offered me some, while I made myself comfortable. 

"First question. Do you know where that Vampire General is who took away your daughter?" I asked as I wonder if she had anything that would be useful to me.

"I don't even know what is going on anymore,"Veriscene simply sighed as she smiled at me with a relieved expression before she continued,"well, at least you are polite enough to talk and not just barge and do whatever you want. All right, that bastard is in the forest. Though I doubt you would be able to get in that easily. The security isn't anything to scoff at."

"Granny?!!!" Eli shouted in surprise as she looked at Veriscene. Her eyes felt betrayed as she tried to speak something, but word failed to come out.

"I have waited enough for Eli. How long do you think I can just sit and do nothing? Plus, it's not like I am directly getting involved in it. Even if he fails, it would be his problem, not mine. If he succeeds, there is a chance that my daughter will have a better life. Don't you think it's a fine deal?" Veriscene spoke her thoughts as she looked at Eli.

Looking at Eli, she seemed to understand that even without Veriscene telling her. Though she still is hesitant when it comes to trusting me, huh? As for Veriscene, she seemed pretty much tired of waiting and lacking any proper solution in sight. She just grabbed the first opportunity she got, in this case, me.

"The military base, right?" I asked as I observed Veriscene and she chuckled as she spoke,"so you know about it, huh? Well. That makes things much easier. Yeah, she is one of the main inner guards there as far as I have heard. The head is, of course, that bastard General. Hmmm.. if you just wanna meet that Vampire General, you can find him in the mayor's house. It's the biggest one in town. Should be easily visible."

'Hmmm. So that guy is the leader, and he is in the village? I think… I can hit two birds at once here,' a smile creeped up my face, which made Veriscene doubt her decision for a moment before I asked,

"Is that so? That was kind of helpful, really. Reduces a couple of steps for me. All right, another question I wanted to ask was, are there any incidents of children being kidnapped or lost from the town?"

The answer to this question didn't come from Veriscene but Eli,"that's pretty much normal here. Half the kids get kidnapped when they turn 10, while the families who try to get out of town vanish without any existence. Everyone knows it's the mayor's doing, but nobody can do shiz. That bastard even has connections to everyone in the city, so nobody is there to help us from outside."

It looked like Eli had a personal vengeance against that guy.

"Her brother and little sister were kidnapped too,"Veriscene added as she sighed deeply. I looked at Irene, who seemed to cry a little while she chewed the popcorn. Not really the right thing to do, but well… whatever…

"Aight then. I should take my leave from here. Thank you for providing all the information,"I spoke as I stood up.

"What are you going to do next?" Veriscene asked with curiosity.

"For starters… let's kill the mayor,"I replied as I took some popcorn out of the packet and chewed on them.
