certainly educational.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scruffy vampire was furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shoved Henry hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry pretended to lose balance, stumbling against the armrest of his chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the vampire turned toward Dragoneiti.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elder, I'm helping you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And yet you're siding with a

me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vampire proudly explained:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This mutant only dares to speak like that because his body is bulletproof.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But now his power is suppressed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The collar around his neck has explosives inside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lifted a small remote detonator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At any moment I can blow his head off.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So now we tell him what to do—and he obeys.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragoneiti asked calmly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And what exactly do we want him to do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vampire answered immediately:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Infiltrate the Stark Group.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Help us control the company.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragoneiti looked at him with mild disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You just said he needs to infiltrate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How exactly does he do that while wearing a bomb collar?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We take it off later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And once it's off, why would he listen to you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vampire turned to Henry and snarled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You better listen!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Or I'll kill you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry raised his hands innocently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course I'll listen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My credibility is as reliable as Jewish merchants worldwide.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he lost his composure slightly and started chuckling through his nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sarcasm was obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vampire's rage exploded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grabbed Henry's collar, revealing yellowed teeth as his canines lengthened into fangs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You sarcastic bastard!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll drain you dry!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mutant or not!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gunshot exploded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bullet entered through the back of the vampire's skull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it exited the forehead, it left a bowl-sized hole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood and brain matter splattered everywhere—covering Henry's suit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So much for that Armani suit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry pushed the corpse away and looked curiously at Dragoneiti.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does that actually work?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Will it kill him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragoneiti handed the pistol to one of his subordinates and calmly wiped his hands with a silk handkerchief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You mean killing him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He'll recover soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just extremely hungry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But the pain is real.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We still have nervous systems.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For discipline, this level is perfect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He avoided discussing their real weaknesses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry didn't press.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead he watched with fascination as the vampire began regenerating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man slowly stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A huge crater remained in his skull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body swayed awkwardly, like a drunk trying to regain balance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching vampire regeneration wasn't exactly a common opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry carefully observed the process—even the microscopic details invisible to normal eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the missing brain tissue began reconstructing itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry commented casually:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looks like his stupidity is natural.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not the result of having his brains blown out too many times.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring the earlier warning that newly regenerated vampires would be extremely hungry, Henry calmly returned to his seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The recovering vampire lunged toward Henry, desperate for blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Dragoneiti had already anticipated this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A subordinate quickly brought out a large beer mug filled with blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The starving vampire immediately changed targets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a dog chasing food, he abandoned Henry and threw himself at the blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even knocked the mug over in his frenzy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he dropped to the floor, licking the spilled blood like an animal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The humiliating sight darkened Dragoneiti's expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But instead of reprimanding the subordinate, he studied Henry carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry's reactions kept surprising him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn't like those mortals who worshipped vampires and desired immortality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nor did he fear their power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though that part made sense—Henry belonged to another extraordinary group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, Henry showed zero concern about the suppressor collar around his neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was he simply confident in his value?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or did he have another reason?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point Dragoneiti had already lost most interest in continuing persuasion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his experience, he could easily tell Henry had been playing along half-heartedly the entire time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allowing his subordinate to interrupt earlier had been another way to probe Henry's mindset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, the results were disappointing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, he decided to give Henry one final chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pretending not to notice the collar around Henry's neck, Dragoneiti spoke calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Brown…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's somewhat embarrassing to admit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But newly turned descendants often behave like that fool—impulsive and reckless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You must understand…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I won't always be there to stop him in
