Violence~

Mikel used a hover board and appeared in the love nest in only a few seconds. "When are we going to meet the guests?" He asked the cuddling couple and threw something to Huo Jun. 

"What is this?" Huo Jun caught the item and opened to find a bullet proof suit. 

"Last time I didn't have your size. I finally found one. Congratulations." Mikel said but Rina stood up and took away the suit. 

"Will this thing even be able to block artifact weapons?" She asked with a voice full of doubt.

"..." Mikel sneered. In his last life he had already proved this fact. He will not entertain this woman. He didn't answer and pulled out a set of black blades with a peculiar shadow like flame silently burning from it's blade. 

The temperature in the room dropped several degrees below zero. "Frost flame blades!" The first to react is Rina who has an extreme yin attribute type power and has dreamed on wielding these blades.

Mikel ignored her and slashed at the bulletproof suit. An invisible barrier is erected and the powerful level four slash is blocked. The room fell silent, Huo Jun put on the suit and walked out of the flat he looked at Mikel.

"Please keep her safe." Hou Jun asked with as much sincerity as he can muster.

"Piss on that. I am going where the fun is. She can stay here under April's protection." Mikel gave her a small wristband.

"April. Keep her safe." Mikel spoke to the device. A cold mechanical voice sounded.

"Copy that." It latched on the girl's wrist and a box like strong barrier is erected around her. Mikel smiled.

"What is this? How do I know it won't harm me?" She panicked and asked Mikel.

"Let's go." Mikel walked past Huo Jun now carrying a rifle with intricate patterns showing it is magical.

Huo Jun didn't speak to him as they ran to meet the group of blood clan members who seem to have waited for their arrival.

"Are you the one who killed my son?" A mam with black hair and ruby like red eyes pulled down his hood and his eyes turned fierce as he looked at Huo Jun.

In a matter of seconds Huo Jun and Mikel are surrounded by the group. Mikel didn't wait and shot someone. But to his dismay, the person seemed to let the bullet phase through him.

Mikel is not bothered by this and changed targets and this time three of the 300 fell to their deaths.

"You dare!" The man whom Mikel recognize as Ben's father shouted in outrage when he saw this scene.

The gun is soon replace by a set of frost blades. Mikel is a level 4 mage. His body has been refined by him countless times with both magic and medicine.

The blood clan attack all at once hoping to overwhelm Mikel. Mikel drops three incinerator bombs, grabs Huo Jun and entered his space together with him.

They had appeared inside the small cave in one of the mountains. It is dark inside, Huo Jun has no idea where they are.

The bombs he threw out and deadinated are silent bombs from the batcave weaponry.

"What happened? Mikel?!" He shouted in confusion.

"We were losing so I took out a bomb that can kill all of them. So we need to stay here for a few more seconds before coming out to check the situation." Mikel wanted to smoke, but the space is too closed up.

"Where are we?" After getting his breathing under control, Huo Jun asked.

"Somewhere safe. But we can't stay here for long without suffocating." Mikel lied. He doesn't want to present a flawless escape route to this man, in case they become enemies in the future.

Mikel took him back to the previous space and found a 4 meter radius completely destroyed. There is a large crater with nothing on sight. It seems three bombs were indeed excessive.

"They died?" Huo Jun asked Mikel in disbelief, coughing from the dust raised by the bomb.

"I realized I don't have to work so hard and end up dying or losing an arm or something far more important. It is better to send them to hell directly." Mikel explained.

"Let's look for any survivors." The two of them searched carefully but found no one. "Tell her to return the bracelet after giving birth." Mikel walked away.

"Mikel." Huo Jun grabbed his arm. "Thank you for today. I realize I was going to die here if not for you." He said with sincerity.

"You're welcome. Although you did threaten me." Mikel walked away taking out a single lighting it up for a smoke. He had thought this was going to be a good fight, but those fuckers are all fuckin swordsmen.

If he had hesitated even for a second they would lose limbs and die directly. Huo Jun would have died there today.

Upon return, Huo Jun bumped into Blackwell men coming to take their princess home. This time, he let his brother go with them. After the last fight, he realized he is not invincible and will die some day. His brother needs the skills to take care of himself.

He also wanted to go and take care of Rina. But he had to stay and stabilize the situation here.

"Huo Jun, you made a promise to me." Rina spoke with a solemn expression.

"One I intend to keep. Give birth safely and come find me, alright?" He spoke gently knowing she is worried he will be giving her the same speech he once gave to Mikel in front of her.

She left with a heavy heart. As soon as they left, Huo Jun went into seclusion to try and increase his strength.

The groups of blood kin showed up again three weeks later. At this time the city has already been alert and the two groups fought tooth and nails.

37 blood kin stood tall against 12 hunters on an open battlefield previously cleared by Mikel's silent bombs.

As if in agreement, both parties lunged for each other. The scene is chaotic and bloody. April is playing a live video of the scene but she had to use some features to clearly show the parties incredibly refined sword skills.

"Damit, such an exciting scene, April broad cast it to the entire city." Mikel instructed the AI.

April "..."

"Now, April. How can I keep all the good things for myself? I want transparency between me and the people under my protection." Mikel said sincerely.

"I would think you want to tell them just how powerful your base is for keeping them protected from being kidnapped by blood thirsty 'vampires' outside." April took a hammer to his self righteous speech.

Mikel is stunned after hearing this, a chuckle escaped his lips then a full blown laughter followed. "Hahahaha..."

Turning in for the day, he let Toy city watch the scenes of vampires and humans fighting outside. The speed displayed by the vampires scares the humans speechless.

People went to the public offices to get an explanation but were met with closed doors. At some point the fight even showed an injured blood kin run inside central base, pull a random human and sink their fangs into their neck until the person went limp after struggling for a while.

Meanwhile the gaping wound on the blood kin closed at a pace visible to the eye. The scene is devastating. Toy city screamed in horror. Some parents closed the eyes of their children. Others cried on the spot with deep sadness and absolute fear.

This is because what is happening is said to be taking place in real time in central base. Many of them were living in the downtown district and that dead woman on screen could have been any of them.

The fight continued with both sides suffering great losses. When the blood kin who survived tried to leave, they are killed without mercy by the exhausted hunter who remained.

He stood alone in the mist of death and destruction like a hero who slayed demons and gods.

Mikel, seeing this image swallowed. Slowly the large man on the screen fell backwards.

"What a rush!" Mikel exclaimed.

"Nothing says I love you like a sea of corpes." April mocked.

"He didn't do it for me." Mikel denied immediately.

"Oh?" April's voice sounded sarcastically. "Then why is your heart beating so fast? Better yet, why are you aroused?"

"Shut up April!" Mikel moved back to the bedroom trying to calm down. Huo Jun looked like an absolute beast out there.

That phantom image of an elephant stomping on fast moving targets, blood and gore flying all over the place. Mikel stood up. Pulling out his phone he called Sam.

"You can proceed with the plan." He walked out to see Huo Jun's condition.

The screens showing the brutal scene just now changed abruptly just as everyone made loud cheering sounds seeing the 'vampire' slayer prevailing against all odds.

"Good evening residents of Toy city. What a day! Am I right?" The young man on the screen took out a hankerchief and wiped cold sweat. Then he turned to the camera with a professional smile plastered on his overly handsome face.

"My name is Shen Tian. This video feed is being captured outside central city and was authorized by the base leader to be broadcast live so you are all aware of what is happening."

Then he explained what the two clans are and what the blood kin wants to do with humans and their evolving delicious blood.

Just when everyone is panicked he offered an evolution serum.

"With one injection an ordinary human will be able to draw mana into their bodies for miscellaneous tasks but most importantly if you are one of the chosen you may awaken a powerful ability which will make you the hero in such trying times."

This man is non other than Shen Tian who is responsible for acquisition of all the materials, maintainance of production equipment and supervision of the two serum for warrior and mage awakening.

He is now a semi independent supplier of the materials to the factories which will produce the two serums. This will give him the prestige he was looking for and a stable powerful position with in Toy city. He will report directly to Mikel's secretaries once he hires them.

Seeing how Sam was clearly in love with this Shen Tian, Mikel opted to help him and this man. His only condition was a blood signed contract and a marriage to Sam.

Shen Tian now has no reason to marry some girl or hide his relationship with Sam. With this, Mikel hoped he hadn't meddled in others affairs but helped his friend gain happiness.

The video continued until he had explained everything. The base will also recruit capable people from the awakened who will help it fight on the side of humanity. Be it warrior or ability user it will be very useful for the upcoming battles for humanity's survival.

This video is sent to all major parties in the country who own communication wristbands. Those who has spies with in Toy city are the first to get the news.

Mikel felt a chill, like a pair of large eyes in the dark are watching his every move. As a level four mana user, he touched the mana in the air and soon found several hunters hiding in the dark following him with their eyes.

Pulling out a single, he lit it up and took a deep drag. Smoke filling his lungs making his chaotic mind clear up abit.

People watching him in the dark like this brings back bad memories. He continued walking until he reached Huo Jun's familiar scent.

"This is a hunter problem. We don't need Mr Lu to worry about it." A cold voice said from the inside of the room.

"You are not moving him through a portal while he is in such a condition." Lu Song said sounding to be holding back his anger.

"He is my son. I will do what I want with his body."

"Hehe..." Mikel's chuckle sounded in the chaotic room from the door way. A man in a striking blue suit turned and glared at Mikel.

"Who are you? How dare you interfere in hunters private matters?" The man watched Mikel's every move with hidden vigilance.

"Mikel? What are youdoing here?" Lu Song asked feeling a bit out of sorts. Why would this difficult to deal with young man be here?

"I have come to laugh at someone after he was beaten black and blue in his own backyard." Mikel took a step towards the laying down Huo Jun but is blocked by several people wearing black suits carrying different weapons.

Mikel peaked at Huo Jun's situation and mused. "Blood venom huh? Nasty thing that is, especially inside an awakened hunter. Hiss... it must be excruciating." Mikel commented.

"Just who are you? I can't sense a hunters mark on you." The man in the blue suit asked with added caution now.

"Mikel. I am not a hunter but and excellent alchemist." Mikel looked at the man with a wide smile just as all the people with hunter's mark fell on the ground convulsing in agony.

"What's happening?" The man asked falling on one knee, he loosened his tie looking worse for wear.

"What's happening is that I am introducing myself.... by poisoning you." Mikel smiled and walked towards Huo Jun.

"Oh Jun Jun... why would you stay here after your precious little treasure left? We're you just itching for a fight?" He looked at the man barely conscious.

The hunters on the ground convulse non stop.

"So dramatic." Mikel rolled his eyes and turned to the surprised Huo Jun. Gently brushing some hair out of his eye, he asked "Don't you want to go home?"

Huo Jun shook his head. "Are you sure?" Huo Jun nodded.

"Fine. But this is going to be a bit painful. Ow who am I kidding? It's going to be excruciating. Get ready big guy." Mikel stood up and materialized a wooden bathtub then filled it with water.

He then un hooked Huo Jun from the hospital machines and placed him into the tub. This water is no ordinary water, but ocean water. Vampire venom can be separated from the human body using this method and a little bit of magic.

"I know right? I'm so strong now.. I can lift the elephant." He joked. As soon as Huo Jun's body is inside the water he felt like his entire body is burning.

Mikel stook in front of him making hand gestures which created many golden lines that held Huo Jun in place while he tried to struggle out of the water.

His body is now covered in black wiggling veins as if they are carrying something alive inside. Huo Jun sweated profusely in the beginning but as time went by he started struggling and then painful screams tore through his throat.

Soon enough he is held down by several hundred golden threads making for a dazzling sight. Then amidst his screaming, a black substance came out of his mouth spilling all over the floor. Mikel jumped away just as it hit the spot where he had been standing before.

Huo Jun felt much better. Mikel put him back on the bed and pulled out a comfortable blanket covering him with it.

Huo Jun snuggled into the warm blanket. He felt his eye lids grow heavy. With a hoarse voice he said one thing before falling asleep. "Let them be."

Mikel looked at the people on the ground who look much better. Lu Song and his body guards hadn't made any move to intercept Mikel this entire time.

Firstly because he wanted to see what this genius madman was going to do and because he is slightly terrified of this boy.

Who in their right mind would go up against an entire group of hunters?

"Now, I will pretend you didn't stand in my way earlier and let it go. Aren't I magnanimous? Tell Huo Jun he owes me consultation fees. Don't worry about the slight burning sensation in your lungs, it should go away in a while." He stepped away from the room taking out a cigarette. That powder is a poison specifically designed for those with an awakened hunter's mark.

"Man, what a day." He walked off.

Lu Song took his men and returned to the Lu family calling a meeting with his brother and Lu Aang who are together in every sense these days.

"Mikel just pissed off Blackwell family." LunSong poured himself a glass of bourbon drinking it like juice.

"What did he do?" Lu Pei asked anxiously.

"They are not going to hold all of us responsible are they? Lu Aang has been briefed on hunter families and the two clans.

"Not likely. I am not sure they have the capital to go against Mikel." He opened a video of the announcement about the two serum developed in Toy city.

This shocked the lovers on the couch. They both stood up when they heard the entire video. Shaken, Lu Pei looked at his brother in absolute horror.

"Mikel has the capital to raise an army of whichever size he chooses. The fact that he is showing his hand to the rest of us means he has considered all the variables."

"Mikel has just become the most coveted person under the hevens. Him and that scientist who helped him develop that set of serums."

The room became silent. Aang stood up. "I may have something to trade with my brother."

This made the two brothers turn to him with questioning gazes. "I am in possession of manuals to help all elements and variant ability users raise their strengths. Mikel has a school but does he have the teaching materials to make his students really powerful?"

Lu Song grabbed him by the shoulders and made him sit down. Lu Aang had thought this news would delight the two Lu brothers but they looked at him in concern.

"Mikel may indeed not have this in his hands but those manuals should be used to raise the strength of soldiers under our Lu family." Lu Song said with a gentle but firm tone. Lu Aang vaguely felt like he has made a mistake.

"Find something else to trade with him. Another thing, don't reveal the existence of these manuals to anyone but us. Do you understand?" Lu Pei asked his lover.

As of this moment, Lu Aang will help the Lu family rise in power. Toy city may not be the most powerful in central city.
