Chapter 228 - 226 Magic Congress, Reaching A Consensus.
As soon as Corvinus entered the hotel suite, he noticed Selene standing next to Luke.
As the father of Marcus the Elder, the ancestor of the family, he had a keen sense of his own offspring. ??
"Viktor is the one who gave you the sire bond, right? "
Corvinus twitched his nose and caught a familiar scent.
He had been silently watching the development of the coven and the three elders. Accept for his own son, Marcus …
Like the cold, selfish, power-hungry Viktor.
And Amelia who indulged in pleasure and desires.
All of them had been the subject of Corvinus's attention.
"That's right. He ruined my life."
Selene's face turned cold when she heard this name.
Even though she knew that the old man who appeared before her was the ancestor of the bloodline, a legendary being worthy of awe.
But she didn't want to hear Viktor's name, and she didn't want to admit that to some extent, the other party gave her a new life.
"Haha, Selene, you're going to be a good fighter."
Corvinus smiled and sat down on the couch, then looked at Lucian standing at the other side.
His son, William, was the originator of the werewolves.
But the werewolves of that era, once bestialized, couldn't regain their human form.
At the same time, there was no shred of sanity to speak of; it was a ferocious beast.
It wasn't until subsequent generations of bloodline changes that the current wolf clan was formed.
"Lucian, I know your past."
A glint passed through Corvinus's eyes. He spoke in a deep voice, "Your mind is far better than your strength."
"This is the key to being a leader."
"Are you now under General Cavill's command?"
Lucian, the Lycan Leader who had recovered, nodded and said respectfully, "Yes, sir. I will soon take my people to the North American continent."
"The General promised me that there would be a place for werewolves in the New York underworld."
Lucian, who got his revenge, just wanted to start over and welcome a stable life.
Not to mention being supported by Superman as a backer.
This was something that many people wanted. Of course, he should seize the opportunity.
After seeing Luke turn the elder Viktor into a charcoal-grilled bat, Lucian was completely convinced of his power.
And for the old man sitting in front of him, he didn't dare to show any carelessness.
Alexander Corvinus, the originator of the legends. He unmistakably exuded the intimidating aura of a superior being and gave people palpitations.
This external manifestation of his own strength was far more frightening than Viktor and Amelia!
Vampires were a race that grew stronger the longer they lived.
According to Lucian's information, Alexander Corvinus had been alive for at least a thousand years and was a true 'ancestor'.
It was estimated that only a few of the pureblood descendants of Archduke Dracula could match him.
"Will the Temple of the Three agree?"
Corvinus glanced at Luke, who was sitting across the table and asked tentatively.
The London sanctum was responsible for managing the European continent and disposing of strange creatures.
Generally speaking, whether vampires or werewolves.
Their 'living quarters' were all planned out.
They weren't allowed to walk around at will.
"The master of the sanctum has approved the application."
Lucian replied with his head bowed.
He had no idea that Superman, who had a significant position in the human world, would be able to talk in the face of the huge power of the magic world, such as the Temple of the Three and the Sorcerer Supreme.
He knew that the group of reckless men carrying chains, axes, and broadswords usually used physical persuasion to deal with people.
Expecting them to communicate calmly was even harder than ascending to heaven!
"As expected of General Cavill. Even the venerable Master would give you some respect."
The surprise in Corvinus's eyes flickered away. He first gave a compliment and then asked curiously, "Is S.H.I.E.L.D. preparing to intervene in the magic world? I remember that at this Peace Summit, the White House submitted a proposal for the World Security Council, which was also your work, right?"
"That's right."
Luke looked relaxed and smiled, "I hope to set up an international official institution to deal with all kinds of crises that may come and occur."
"I talked with the Sorcerer Supreme about this issue before. She thinks that a stable order should be established in a free magic world, and the Temple of the Three could also adopt a cooperative attitude with the government."
"There is a precedent for this. During the Middle Ages, the masters of the sanctum had similar contacts with the Knights Templar of the Holy Church and the Order."
Corvinus's eyes flashed. He didn't expect Luke's ambition to be so big.
Not only did he want to capture the human world, but also the world of magic.
What's even more amazing was that the Sorcerer Supreme had no opinion on it.
This proved that Luke's relationship with Kamar Taj and Temple of the Three was closer than he ever imagined.
"Back to the subject, General Cavill, I got your call, and I immediately rushed here from Washington, D.C."
After raising his initial evaluation of Superman by another notch, Corvinus spoke in a deep voice, "No matter what you want, my only request is to save Marcus's life."
Luke was pleased to see Corvinus's straightforward attitude.
Compared with Viktor's arrogance, this ancestor knew how to communicate with others better.
"Marcus is still lying in the blood coffin in the vampire mansion, and I didn't wake him up."
Luke interlocked his fingers and spoke calmly.
These days, he had finished the work at hand. The Paris Peace Summit was over, diplomatic relations with Atlantis and trade channels had largely been negotiated.
The only disagreement was probably from the underwater people, who kept demanding Neptune's Trident, which Namor had lost previously.
S.H.I.E.L.D ignored it. How could a dangerous weapon that manipulated the weather and set off tsunamis be easily handed over to Atlantis?
As for the mutants, with the official appearance of the Hellfire Club at the press conference, along with the government's stance, the White Queen and others were considered to have received official recognition.
How to eliminate discrimination and get the rights and status they deserve depended on themselves.
All in all, a three-day peace summit.
The event ended successfully in a perfect and satisfactory manner.
Luke used the leverage he had to get the power he wanted.
Next, he was going to expand S.H.I.E.L.D's jurisdiction.
The Corvinus coven was just the first step.
"I didn't call Mr. Corvinus here to create a new enemy."
Luke didn't refer to his military title, which would have made him seem distant.
"The feud between vampires and werewolves and the war between your family has been going on for too long."
"I hope that the future will change. Mutants are beginning to make their way onto the world stage, so maybe deviants like you can have a whole new life."
Corvinus narrowed his eyes and stared at Luke with a critical gaze.
Although he lived in the human world, like other vampires, this family ancestor didn't believe in humans.
Or rather, any intelligent creature that knows how to think. They always speculate with the utmost malice towards other races.
This was a nature that couldn't be erased from their bones!
"How can I trust you, General Cavill? "
Corvinus solemnly asked.
"I will set up an official organization of the dark world in the name of S.H.I.E.L.D. You can call it the Magic Congress."
Luke tapped his fingers a few times habitually and smiled, "Masters of the three sanctums will each occupy three seats and have the right to vote. Mutants have reserved some seats since they were once part of the dark world."
"I can give up three seats and give them to the Corvinus family."
"You have always been discriminated against and rejected by the pureblood descendants of Dracula. They call your descendants 'lowly bastards'."
"This is a good opportunity to prove yourself and give 'something back'."
Corvinus was silent.
This Superman could play politics at a higher level than Viktor.
He made his own authority and then used the power of distribution to pull together or suppress a force in the dark world.
In any case, the biggest winner would always be the initiator.
"It's … attractive."
Corvinus was indeed impressed. He had put up with the pure-blooded descendants of Dracula for some time now.
The vampires, who prided themselves on being 'legitimate', had been suppressing the Corvinus family.
They even expelled Viktor and Marcus from Hungary, Romania, and so forth to Paris.
As an ancestor, Corvinus also had some anger. But he didn't want to start a war, so he chose to keep it in mind silently.
He wouldn't forget the humiliation of being called a 'lowly bastard'!
"So, what do I have to give?"
Corvinus asked aloud.
"One tube of your blood and the whereabouts of the third bloodline."
Luke said calmly.
