Marvel's Superman

Chapter 224 - 222 Promises Of Freedom, Exchange For Loyalty (I)

At what cost?

Selene, who had fallen to the ground, was biting her lip. The blood flowed into her mouth with a sweet taste. ??

She looked at the Lieutenant General, who was standing at the entrance of the underground chamber and read a trace of seriousness and danger from the other's eyes.

Since his appearance, this mysterious and unpredictable Lieutenant General had been acting like a Wall Street stockbroker.

He always gave people what they wanted most but took more.

"Everything!"

Selene didn't hesitate to answer.

She looked up at the cold-eyed Viktor. The hatred in her heart almost solidified.

Many philosophers say that 'humans are fickle and complex animals,' but this statement is true for any intelligent species.

A few hours ago, Selene regarded Viktor as the closest elder in her life.

But now, the female vampire warrior, who knew the truth, was willing to give everything -- body or soul -- in exchange for a chance at revenge.

"I should have lived an ordinary life, with a warm family and caring parents …"

Selene said bitterly.

"Instead of becoming a nocturnal creature that fears the sunlight, living in darkness!"

Viktor shook his head with a straight face, "You are too weak, Selene."

He taught Kraven about power and ambition and let him run the coven.

And he instilled Selene with toughness and determination, making her the best warrior she could be.

But in the end.

Kraven became a traitor.

Selene also became a traitor.

This result saddened Viktor.

"I'll give you everything, General!"

Selene wiped away the tears that represented her weakness and stated one word at a time.

Don't mention the fact that Luke was human and couldn't be trusted.

Even if he was the devil from hell, who wanted her soul, she wasn't afraid.

"Deal."

Luke snapped his fingers and nodded with satisfaction.

By dealing with one person, he could satisfy two acts of revenge.

No loss!

"Lucian, do you want to join?"

The Lieutenant General asked in a low voice.

In order to ensure the customer experience, he suggested Lucian give it a try.

If he took action himself, the whole battle would take less than half a minute.

Ending it too soon wasn't good.

"Okay."

Lucian was concise and nodded his head in response.

His eyes, full of murderous intent, were fixed on Viktor.

The latter still didn't know what happened above, let alone about Amelia, who had her bat wings that symbolized the high-order of vampires torn off and was almost turned into a roasted bat and eaten.

This vampire lord thought he had everything under control.

He looked at Luke, who appeared suddenly, and Lucian, the Lycan Leader, behind him. A touch of coldness flashed in his blue eyes.

"Lucian, you are becoming more and more depraved. You're willing to be a lapdog of a human!"

Viktor said sarcastically.

"Are you expecting them to give you a few bones for the wolves to gnaw on? Instead of working for humans, you should have remained a slave to vampires."

"At least we would be generous and drop a few more bones."

The contemptuous tone stirred the anger in Lucian's heart.

"Viktor, wake up."

There was a fierce glint in the Lycan Leader's eyes.

"Don't drown yourself in the glorious past of the vampires, unable to pull yourself out."

"Now you're just animals in captivity, like beasts in cages."

"Human beings have ruled the world, and vampires have long lost their qualification to stand at the top of the pyramid."

In the Middle Ages, vampires and werewolves were indeed the rulers of Europe.

The former, in particular, completely regarded human beings as mobile blood bags and hunted indiscriminately.

This situation became increasingly serious after the colonial period.

Vampires invaded North America until Abraham Lincoln appeared.

That's right!

This rather famous President was said to be a legendary vampire hunter!

Luke had a strong desire to vomit when he saw this unbelievable and bizarre history from the library of the New York sanctum.

Back to the topic. The European continent, at that time, was the hunting ground of the major vampire covens.

When the Temple of the Three began to reorganize the order, they dispelled away from the darkness and issued the rules.

Vampires were swept into the garbage from the peak of their history.

So, it wasn't surprising that the awakened vampire Lord despised humans, and even more so Lucian, the Lycan Leader, who was working with humans.

His mindset hadn't changed yet, and he didn't know that times had changed.

"Haha, how dare you enter this manor and bring a human with you! "

Viktor spoke in a deep voice, "Lucian, you're looking for death!

He glanced at Luke, who was standing in front of him.

A strong young man -- his vampire's senses perceived. This was the only conclusion the vampire Lord came to.

Strong heartbeat, vigorous vitality. Other than these, he couldn't see any other abnormalities.

"Giving you the opportunity for revenge? … Is that such an easy thing to believe?"

Viktor looked down at Selene and sneered.

His luxurious robe tore apart, and a pair of bat wings sprouted up behind him.

Compared to Amelia's wings, this vampire Lord had longer and thicker wings.

The white skeleton supported the thin film-like wings.

Fully open, they could take up almost half the space in the underground chamber.

Just from the momentum, they were far superior to Amelia's, who was also an elder.

'He's almost close to an "ancestor level". '

Luke's mouth curled as he thought to himself.

He ignored Viktor, who was ready to kill someone.

Although it was said that we don't see each other from God's perspective.

This vampire Lord was a decisive and competent leader.

To prolong life, strengthen the coven, and consolidate power, even his daughter was sacrificed.

Of course, he also had the flaws that people in power would inevitably have.

For example, paranoia and selfishness.

The vampire elders rotated once every hundred years and slept for the rest of the time.

In order to prevent betrayal and accidents, the three elders didn't seriously cultivate their descendants at all and let the extravagant life consume them.

Selene didn't understand Viktor before. Why would he let Kraven manage the coven?

There was a simple reason.

That guy was a power-hungry, equally cowardly bureaucratic vampire.

It would be better to put such a person higher than a descendant who was ambitious, aggressive, and had their own ideas.

It's just that Viktor probably didn't expect it either.
