Chapter 82: Cooperate
Another day passed and when night fell, it was time for Maris to send Samson and Lucasta to the edge of the forest.
In just a blink of an eye, all three people passed through the fog and appeared next to the old tree.
– I hope you both finish work soon and return home. Maris smiled and spoke first.
– Sure, please take care of the flower garden for me. Lucasta has eaten all the vegetables today. Samson nodded and replied.
Lucasta came closer and hugged Maris as a goodbye. Since hearing the tragic story of the female vampire, she felt even more sorry for Maris.
She felt very lucky to be loved by Samson more than his life and he did not take advantage of her.
The night wind blew Maris’s hair, making her ghostly beauty stand out even more in the gloomy scene.
The moonlight was dim but enough for Lucasta to see the person staying behind every time she turned her head. She felt that Maris was lonely.
– I’m going to move very quickly, so close your eyes. Samson said gently as he picked up Lucasta.
– Yes.
She obediently closed her eyes and nestled close to his chest. She had been rescued by him twice on the road, so she knew his speed was very fast.
However, those times he only moved a short distance, but if he went a long distance, she guessed it would be terrible, even more so than when Calantha drove her motorbike to take her back to Star Corporation.
Samson lovingly kissed his wife’s forehead and then moved quickly. Soon he reached the outskirts of the city and not long after, he and Lucasta appeared in Michael’s yard.
If it weren’t for having to avoid the groups of police and vampire hunters patrolling heavily on the roads, he might have arrived earlier.
It was now nine o’clock in the evening, so Samson guessed that it would be a long time before Michael came home.
However, not long after, the car appeared and Samson saw the tired-looking figure of the policeman struggling to open the gate.
Waiting until he finished parking, Lucasta and Samson slowly approached.
– Hello, I heard Lucasta talk about your cooperation proposal so I decided to come here. Because I have to wait for the wound to completely recover, it takes a bit of time. Samson spoke first.
– Let’s go inside and talk.
Michael hurriedly opened the door and invited the two guests inside.
Joy welled up in his heart. Lately, he has been very worried and lost weight because of thinking too much, plus spending his precious time secretly investigating individually with a group of close teammates.
Both guys quickly discussed the issues surrounding suspect William.
Samson revealed important information to Michael, which was the identity of the current director of the Institute of Medical Sciences thirty years ago. He also told Michael the story related to Vincent’s death.
This truth made Michael freeze for a whole minute because it was beyond his rich imagination.
– In the past, Thomas was suspected by the police of being involved in the disappearances of women, and at that time he was also conducting research on immortality medicine. Now he still hasn’t given up that research and combined with Lucasta seeing the bodyguards taking Ben away, I guess the mass disappearances are related to him. Samson spoke up.
– I also think so, that’s why I have to ask for your help. What I care about is who is behind the series of disappearances over the past several decades, not simply the deaths of her parents and Natasha. Michael nodded.
– But who did he sell blood to that needed such a large quantity? Domestic patients often buy humanitarian blood from the hospital’s blood bank at a price that is not very high. Michael continued to wonder.
Samson also did not know this. He, Harvey, and Maris all drank blood from the hematology institute – blood transfusion.
That blood was secretly sold by a doctor, but the quantity was not very large.
And as far as he knew, there were no other vampires besides them, so he couldn’t doubt that William’s customers were also vampires.
– William’s relationships are quite extensive, to localize the suspects who are his customers will take a lot of time. Let me think… customers are loyal and can trade for a long time without being detected. Do you think that person is some high-ranking official? Samson asked softly.
– It is possible. Okay, first of all, I will compile a list of domestic and foreign government officials who have close relationships with him. And then I will slowly filter it out.
The case lasted for decades, so they could not rush to find out the truth in just one or two days.
First of all, they have to localize the subject and then find suspicious points to closely follow and investigate because the current manpower is not much.
Although Michael knows that Samson’s abilities are superior to ordinary people in every aspect, he cannot separate himself to do many things at the same time.
Furthermore, he can only work in the evening or work in environments without sunlight.
Taking a break from discussing the matter related to William, Michael revealed to both guests what happened last night. He said he and his teammates went to rescue Calantha, but before the police could reach the place where she was being held, a girl helped her first.
– Are there any other vampires besides you and Maris in the nearby area? Michael squinted his eyes and looked at Samson.
– Surely that’s Maris. That forest is just me and her. Samson affirmed firmly.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Lucasta had been sitting still like a statue all this time and listening to the two men discuss. She admired their speculation and the way they drew up each specific plan.
And now when she heard about Calantha’s story, she spoke up. She planned to ask her friend to help her and Samson have a place to stay while they found out the truth.
Calantha’s houses are scattered everywhere, some are bustling, some are deserted, so Lucasta wants to live in a secluded place with her husband, convenient for him to travel to investigate because he won’t be curious by the neighbors next door.
– Then tomorrow I’ll invite her to my house. She seemed sad because she thought you ignored her after becoming a noble lady. Now… let’s go to sleep.
After giving the room key to the couple, Michael immediately took a shower and lay down on the soft mattress.
He felt very relaxed because someone was with him to shoulder this heavy responsibility.
The next morning, as usual, Michael went to work. After processing and transferring Eric’s criminal record to his subordinates, he called Calantha to make an appointment to come to his house.
Because she knew Lucasta and Samson were there, she quickly agreed.
The moment they met again, the two girls could not control their emotions, hugged each other, and cried.
Calantha didn’t expect her lovely doll to go through such terrible things.
– Okay, let me introduce to you, this is my husband, Mr. Samson. Lucasta gently let go of Calantha and pointed at Samson.
– Husband?
– Yes, he’s not my brother anymore.
– Do you also get married at the speed of a vampire?
Calantha smiled and bowed to Samson. She never expected that one day she would meet a creature that seemed to exist only in legends.
Turns out, the feeling isn’t scary at all. Suddenly, she also wanted a husband who was a vampire, both handsome and intelligent, with many outstanding talents.
Furthermore, he is extremely loyal, unlike the guy who just kidnapped her.
After hearing the suggestion from her lovely friend, Calantha immediately agreed.
And within just an hour, the employees and security guards in the house far from the city center left.
– Wait until the sun goes down, I will come back and take everyone there. Let’s cook something to celebrate Lucasta getting married.
Calantha excitedly suggested and then quickly returned to the company to quickly resolve some matters.
Today, she will not work overtime even though the projects are in the sprint phase, she wants to spend some time with her friend.
When sunset fell, Calantha also returned to Michael’s house and when the last sunlight faded, she took Samson and Lucasta to their new place.
Although Michael had agreed to go with everyone at noon, something unexpected happened so he had to call Calantha to apologize.
– Someone discovered a decomposing body under the bridge and Michael had to go to the scene. So, there are only three of us. Calantha shivered when mentioning the case that had just happened.
– It’s scary. Lucasta suddenly squeezed Samson’s hand and said.
– You don’t need to be afraid when you have him by your side. Calantha quickly reassured her.
After a while, the car stopped in front of a quite large, spacious, and clean house.
Looking at the yard covered with roses, Lucasta remembered the old scene at the castle and the house with a gate covered with roses where she and Samson used to live.
Dinner with Samson’s help was quickly completed and when the dishes were placed on the table, they looked like dishes from a three-star restaurant.
Although Lucasta did not object to Samson sitting at the table with them and drinking blood, he knew that Calantha would hardly feel comfortable witnessing that scene, so he went into the room and mixed the blood with water to drink.
He didn’t know how long the investigation would take, so he might have to go see Harvey and Aurora. For the next month, he must get his food source from them.
When Maris took him back to the forest, she took a lot of dried blood, enough for both of them to last a few months, but yesterday, he couldn’t bring too much with him.
Not because he wasn’t strong enough, but because he had to carry Lucasta.
– Why were you so easily caught by that guy Eric? Lucasta asked.
– He said a group of thugs beat him and robbed him of all his money, then threw him outside the city and asked me to go there and help him. Who knew he was such an asshole?
Calantha was once again upset when she remembered how gullible she had been, causing her family to worry and wasting the police’s time and effort.
She picked up the glass of juice and drank it all in one gulp.
Only she knew that at that time she had intended to kill Eric after being helped by that girl.
Fortunately, she was able to control herself when thinking about her parents.
– Michael said maybe the girl who saved me was a vampire. Calantha put down the empty glass, quickly regained her cheerfulness, and spoke.
– She is a vampire, her name is Maris, and she is Samson’s neighbor. Red dress, red lips, long soft hair, gently curled like waves.
– Yes, a noble and classic beauty. Calantha exclaimed when she heard Lucasta accurately describe that girl’s appearance.
The two girls continued to eat and talk. Calantha bragged to Lucasta that in about a month, she would go to Paris to attend a party organized and invited by the prime minister.
And because he is a head of state, this party is not widely publicized, limiting the number of guests, mainly those with close relationships with him.
Previously, Calantha’s father was on a business trip and accidentally saved the prime minister’s niece when she almost fell into a tiger cage in the zoo, and thanks to that, he was on the list of honored guests.
However, Calantha will go there on behalf of her father.
