“Why are you here?” Adora asked in a suspicious tone. “Were you following me?”
“Of course not.” Vlad rolled his eyes and proceeded to help Adora to escape from the formation. “I was in this bar coincidentally and saw you enter, so I decided to keep an eye on the situation just in case.”
Adora stared at Vlad suspiciously, clearly not trusting his words completely, but Vlad did not care.
The truth was just as he said. He did not expect to meet Adora here, his goal was Kevin.
He had been waiting for an opportunity to kill him and use him as his first Blood Seed. Thus, when the boss of the gang and his bodyguards left, Vlad used the opportunity to strike.
He moved as stealthily as possible and killed the gang members he met along the way without raising a commotion, finally, he entered the office and killed Kevin.
As for Adora, Vlad decided to save her in passing. Anyway, she had saved him once.
Actually, after killing Kevin, Vlad had thought about killing her as well.
Adora was a Core Accumulation Practitioner close to becoming a Core Formation practitioner. Killing her would guarantee a high-quality blood seed.
In the end, though, he decided not to.
He did not mind becoming a monster and using countless deaths to pave his way to his revenge, however, he wanted to keep a bottom line.
Killing the person that saved his life broke that bottom line.
After releasing Adora from the formation, the blonde girl jumped back like a frightened rabbit. Her eyes stared at Vlad with wariness as she pointed a dagger toward him.
Remembering the moment when Vlad killed Kevin, Adora’s body became tense.
She tried to not show it, but her slightly trembling hands revealed her fear.
Vlad raised an eyebrow in amusement.
“Don’t worry, I don’t plan to hurt you. I’m not as cruel as to kill my benefactor without a reason.”
Instead of relaxing, Adora became even more afraid.
‘Does it mean that he doesn’t mind killing me if there is a good enough reason?’
Vlad noticed her thoughts and smiled before shifting his attention to the body on the floor.
Without caring about Adora’s reaction, he crouched in front of the body and put his hand on Kevin’s chest.
Then, he started the process of creating a Blood Seed.
Fortunately, it seemed that his previous experience creating Blood Seeds had been useful. The process of creating this Blood Seed proceeded more smoothly than he expected.
At that moment, he noticed that Adora had walked over.
“What are you doing?” She asked with a frown. No matter how she looked at it, it did not seem like something good.
Vlad hesitated about how to reply. He would have preferred not to show this to Adora, but the Blood Seeds could only be produced shortly after someone died.
Fortunately, he had thought of an excuse already.
“My bloodline is special. It can make me stronger under certain conditions. After killing him, I satisfied some of these conditions, so now I’m absorbing a part of his power.”
Adora was stunned.
“That sounds like a powerful bloodline.”
“Yours is not weak either,” Vlad said while glancing at her. “It allows you to control the wind, right?”
“You saw it?”
“Something like that.”
Just then, the Blood Seed finished forming.
As he expected, this blood seed was shinier and had stronger mana than the ones he produced before.

Vlad hesitated for a moment before deciding to swallow it immediately. He waited until Adora was distracted and swallowed it directly.
The process of swallowing the Blood Seed made Vlad frown. He felt a bit nauseous about swallowing human blood, however, he suppressed his nausea and focused on his body to feel any changes.
Soon, the changes started.
A hot feeling spread all over his body from his stomach as though he was in a fever. It was accompanied by a slight itch in his entire body.
Soon, the slight itch became stronger, turning into a piercing pain.
“Ugh,” Vlad grunted, attracting Adora’s attention.
“Is everything alright? What happened?”
“... Nothing. I just thought about something.” Vlad used all his willpower to not expose his state of weakness. “What are your plans now?”
“… Crow will not let the matter rest now that Kevin has been killed. Once he learns about what happened here, he will kill us.”
“So you want to kill him first, right?” Vlad put on an amused expression when he saw the killing intent in Adora’s eyes.
Adora nodded. “Yes. Plus, he has something I need. I must get it.”
Vlad’s eyes flashed. “The Life-Replenishing Pill?”
Adora did not reply, but her determined gaze was enough of an answer.
“I see. Miss Adora, I have a proposal for you.”
“Mm?”
“Why don’t we cooperate to kill Crow?”
Adora was stunned. But she started to contemplate Vlad’s proposal after hesitating briefly.
“… He is a Core Formation Practitioner. It won’t be easy.”
“But just as you said, you don’t have other options, right?”
Adora fell silent.
“Then, will you cooperate with me?” Vlad asked.
“… Before that, I want to know something. Why are you helping me? Don’t tell me that it’s because my sister and I saved your life. I won’t believe that.”
“You sure are cautious, huh.” Vlad shook his head with a smile. “Don’t worry, I don’t have any ill intentions toward you or your sister. You only need to know that I also need to kill Crow. Having your help will make it easier.”
That was the truth. Crow was a Core Formation Practitioner, so a Blood Seed created with his blood will be of very high quality.
If he could get it, he can create a stronger Blood Core.
Adora stared at Vlad fixedly as though to weigh the truth of his words. Eventually, she nodded.
“Okay. I will cooperate with you.”
“Good.”
“Do you have a plan?” Adora asked.
Vlad was about to nod, but just then, the pain in his body faded away.
At the same time, a message appeared in his mind.
[A Blood Seed has been swallowed. Progress of the Promotion Mission: 1/5]
[A Special trait has been found in the Blood Seed.]
[Analyzing trait…]
Vlad put on an expression of surprise.
