Slipping into a dark alley, he took off into the air and headed straight for the Goat Valley Lab.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, he changed into his all-black Kevlar suit—complete with mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Going through the Continental would be too slow. If vampires were part of the High Table, the hotel wouldn't provide false information—but delays were very possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if Jasper Baden was truly in danger, that delay could mean the difference between life and death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry had already narrowed down the likely culprit: vampires.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If business tactics failed, escalation was only natural. And what better warning target than a peripheral figure?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he would handle this himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nighttime might be the domain of creatures of darkness—but it was also perfect for operating unseen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Superman—online.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, he returned to downtown Los Angeles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing at the edge of a rooftop, he unleashed his full suite of super-senses, scanning a ten-kilometer radius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't know Jasper's habits—where he might go, what places he frequented—so he had to search everything. Any sign of conflict drew extra attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His focus, however, was on vampires.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their body temperatures were significantly lower than humans—almost indistinguishable from ambient surroundings. Any cluster of such \"cold signatures\" stood out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw something unusual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those cold, humanoid figures would suddenly spike in temperature… and then lose their human form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone was hunting vampires.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene was in South Los Angeles—the roughest area, dominated by Black and Hispanic communities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What drew his attention wasn't just the activity—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was two familiar faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was Jasper Baden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfamiliar—yet recognizable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Black man with a buzz cut, long black coat, sunglasses at night, and a sword strapped to his back. Slaughtering vampires.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That image could only mean one thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the most famous vampire hunters in America.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike most hunters—who were fully human—Blade had another title among vampires:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daywalker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was half-vampire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not exactly a secret—at least not within hunter circles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which was why he usually worked alone. Many hunters considered him just as dangerous as his prey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry had learned all this after realizing he'd crossed paths with vampires—but until now, he hadn't engaged directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he was witnessing Blade in action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Jasper—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lay collapsed on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging by the blood loss at his neck—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He'd been bitten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were no other victims, and the location was an alley. That strongly suggested Jasper had been specifically targeted—not a случай victim stumbling into a vampire nightclub.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point in time, vampires still operated cautiously. Their clubs had strict access control. Random civilians didn't just wander in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their \"blood bags\" were carefully selected—lured in by attractive vampires, chosen specifically because no one would look too hard if they disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which meant—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeding in an open alley like this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not their style.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time Blade finished off the last vampire, Black Superman stepped into the alley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His arrival was greeted with a silver spike hurled straight at his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It bounced off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No surprise—Kevlar armor, plus Kryptonian skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a thrown spike from a half-vampire could pierce that, the patent belonged in the trash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Superman didn't move. No aggression. No sudden motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blade paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was sent for him,\" Black Superman said, pointing at Jasper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The spike at your feet is yours now,\" Blade replied flatly. \"When he turns, use it. Clean kill. Nothing left behind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then crouched, rummaging through the ashes of the vampires—collecting wallets, watches, anything valuable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those items survived—unlike clothing, which burned away with the body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Vampire hunter?\" Black Superman asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blade glanced back, annoyed. \"If you're not blind, maybe cut eyeholes in whatever you're wearing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Blade. The Daywalker.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blade froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind his sunglasses, his gaze sharpened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Superman ignored the question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you save him? Payment—one hundred thousand dollars.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blade paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mention of money clearly registered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who is he?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Someone my client wants alive. Not dead. Not turned.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blade studied Jasper. \"Fresh bite. There's a chance. Just a chance. But you don't look like someone carrying a hundred grand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Superman pulled out a Continental gold coin from his utility belt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He showed it—then flicked it over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blade caught it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Save him first,\" Black Superman said. \"Whether he lives depends on him. No one carries a hundred grand in cash. I'll get it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blade turned the coin over in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One coin. One promise.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pocketed it and moved to Jasper's side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can help him. But how do I get paid?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clearly intended to take both the coin and the money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Superman didn't argue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Save him. I'll find you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blade grabbed Jasper by the front of his shirt and lifted him like luggage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was about to say more—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the man in black was already gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blade looked around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment, he shrugged, carried Jasper back to his Dodge Charger, and shoved him into the trunk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he drove off—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back to his hidden base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>🎉 Power Stone Goal Announcement! 🎉\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I'll release one bonus chapter for every 500 Power Stones we hit!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let me know what should I do\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your support means everything—let's crush these goals together!
