Even Blade, who treated meditation as rest, snapped awake the moment he sensed someone approaching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Black Superman had allowed himself to be detected. Otherwise, slipping in unnoticed would have been effortless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he entered, his gaze went straight to Jasper Badden, who was still strapped to the workbench.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He's not dead yet, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he noticed something—Blade hadn't placed Jasper there randomly. The morning sunlight streamed through the window, perfectly covering the workbench.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man lying there, bathed in sunlight, wore a pained expression, clearly suffering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abraham Whistler stepped forward to examine him, focusing on the bite wound. After a moment, he said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The wound's still deteriorating. Looks like that garlic extract didn't do much. Got any progress on your serum?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Superman reached out, dabbed a bit of fluid from the wound, and asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You judge by the bite? What counts as improvement?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whistler, despite still being irritated about last night's hack, answered seriously:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If the wound heals, that means something's changed—either he's fully turned, or he's beaten the virus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But this? Pus like this? That's bad. If you don't have a serum, you'd better prepare a silver bullet for him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Silver bullets kill vampires?\" Black Superman asked flatly. \"I thought that was for werewolves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whistler explained:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Silver works on most dark creatures. It stops regeneration. Once they can't heal, you can kill them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Other weaknesses?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps because the topic interested him, Whistler didn't hold back:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Garlic extract—you've seen it. A full dose doesn't just hurt vampires, it kills them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've heard in Europe they use silver nitrate rounds, or UV-radiation rounds—one for werewolves, one for vampires. Never seen them myself, though.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Want those kinds of weapons? I can develop them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Black Superman pulled out a vial of serum from his utility pouch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither Whistler nor Blade responded immediately. Their attention was locked onto that vial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Superman didn't care. He calmly prepared the injection—then administered a large dose directly into Jasper's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reaction was instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasper's body curled like a cooked squid, limbs contorting violently. He convulsed, foamed at the mouth, and let out a low, guttural growl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Superman remained completely unfazed. One hand pressed firmly against Jasper's chest, keeping him from thrashing off the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other two simply watched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the convulsions stopped, Jasper lay there drenched in sweat, like someone who had just run a marathon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He alive?\" Whistler stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not dead,\" Black Superman replied after a brief check. He then stepped aside, letting Whistler examine him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old hunter eagerly got to work, poking and prodding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Blade came closer, watching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It works?\" he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looks like it,\" Whistler said, clearly excited. \"The wound's no longer oozing white pus—just normal blood and discharge. The redness in his eyes has faded. Teeth haven't changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If he can still stand sunlight tomorrow morning… he'll make it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whistler turned to Black Superman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How'd you make this serum?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Superman didn't hide anything. He placed several remaining vials on the table, along with a 3.5-inch floppy disk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is what's left from a single batch. The disk contains the process and material ratios. Though… your equipment isn't quite enough to reproduce it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm. 'Black Superman,' was it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whistler picked up a vial, examining the pale blue liquid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why do all this? Even offering to help us develop weapons?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have a grudge against vampires. Is that reason enough?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blade spoke up:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not enough. If you want to work with us, we need to know who you are. How do I know you won't sell us out?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fair point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Black Superman wouldn't trust someone completely hidden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached up and pulled off his mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"—You!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"—Who are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring Blade's confusion, Whistler sighed and explained:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's Henry Brown. The guy the vampires just put on their list. CEO of Stark Pictures.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Superman had already put the mask back on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blade snorted. \"That guy screwing actresses?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Superman resisted the urge to punch him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I deny everything. If you're going to judge me based on rumors, think carefully.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whistler narrowed his eyes. \"Then why are they targeting you? Don't tell me you're working together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They want Stark Industries. Tony Stark. I'm just a stepping stone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Yeah. That sounds like them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Superman continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm not good at combat. And I don't have time to chase vampires around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I am good with technology—computers included.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed at their hacked system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(As for the blatant lie about combat ability… no need to dwell on that.)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can fund you. Money. Serum. Advanced weapons. Better surveillance systems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In exchange—you hunt vampires.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's what you're good at, isn't it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blade and Whistler exchanged a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blade nodded. \"Not a bad deal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were already killing vampires anyway. Getting paid for it? No downside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Whistler had another concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does this serum work on everyone? Or just that lucky bastard?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It should work on anyone recently infected but not fully turned,\" Black Superman said honestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But for other types of vampires… I suggest testing it on someone expendable first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about people with blood disorders?\" Whistler asked. \"Like him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Superman looked at Blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You mean you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wouldn't recommend it. That sounds like a different condition entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But if you're willing to cooperate in testing, I can develop a tailored serum for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just kill a few more vampires for me.\"\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!
