Chapter 529: Marvel: Awakening the Little Universe at the Start, Chapter 283

"Heh..."

Gwen looked at her fiancé, who had sold her out without a second thought, and spread her hands with a speechless expression as she looked at Hawk: "Are you serious? You sold me out just like that without even thinking? You're my fiancé, shouldn't you be protecting me?"

However, this was just a joke.

Gwen wasn't actually angry. After making that snide remark, she looked toward George: "Dad, who is this BU? Hawk and I have been thinking about it all day."

George smiled and looked at Gwen.

"You know him."

"I know him?"

Gwen was slightly stunned, then quickly racked her brain before looking back at George.

"Who is it?"

"Ben Urich!"

George said the name of BU, and seeing Gwen still looking somewhat confused, he added: "My mentor."

Gwen blinked. After a moment, the image of a disheveled middle-aged uncle who liked to wear a cowboy hat appeared in her mind.

The next second.

Gwen remembered.

"Uncle Ben, your first partner?"

"Yes."

George nodded.

BU.

B is Ben.

U is Urich.

Ben Urich, ten years older than George, sixty-two this year, was George's mentor when he first joined the New York Police Department, and also his first partner.

Gwen then frowned again, looking at George with some confusion: "But didn't Uncle Ben retire already?"

George chuckled.

"He did retire, but his heart is still young. He's a reporter now. After the reporter case happened, he contacted me and warned me not to dig too deep into this case because it was dangerous. I didn't listen and kept asking him exactly what the danger was."

"It wasn't until last night that Ben called again, asking if I was still investigating the 'Blood Apocalypse' in private. He told me to stop investigating, saying there would be no good outcome if I kept going."

"But who am I!"

George laughed: "If you want me to stop investigating, fine, just fire me as captain. But as long as I am captain, I am at odds with evil!"

When he said this, George was full of conviction.

Although in some small matters, he would choose to go with the flow, such as the police department's family cards and the like.

But on matters of principle, especially regarding criminals, he had never wavered.

"I told Ben directly that if he was sent by someone to be a lobbyist, he could hang up now, and not to call again in the future."

"Ben then sighed and asked me if I believed in vampires."

After that, this Ben Urich told George that the "Blood Apocalypse" was indeed a cult, but not a cult in the ordinary sense; it was an organization affiliated with a vampire organization in Niuyuecheng.

The main task of the Blood Apocalypse was to recruit young, beautiful girls, especially those who had left their hometowns for Niuyuecheng for their dreams, to recruit them and make them playthings and blood bags for the vampires of New York.

As everyone knows.

For vampires, the blood of eighteen or nineteen-year-old girls in their prime is a rare delicacy.

And Ben also told George that the reason he knew this was because he had investigated this organization before he retired.

So Ben understood this organization, and over the years he had been investigating in secret, discovering a terrifying fact.

There were blood servants among the vampires, and even some people in the New York Police Department were blood servants of vampires.

Blood servants are humans, but they worship vampires, and their greatest wish is for vampires to turn them into vampires as well.

Although Hawk and Gwen knew how to turn into vampires.

But for most people in this world, they actually don't know, and are still stuck in the fantasy that they can be assimilated just by being bitten by a vampire.

But, once again.

Vampires are not zombies; you only become a zombie if bitten by a zombie. If you are bitten by a vampire, the most likely outcome is being drained dry and becoming a corpse.

In short...

After Ben retired, he became an elderly reporter, which was also an excuse to run around Niuyuecheng without being suspected. He even successfully interviewed a vampire and became good friends with this vampire.

But this vampire was a "good" vampire who went to blood banks to buy blood to drink.

It was precisely because of this that Ben learned from this vampire friend that George had closed the case on the surface, but was secretly applying to the court to call for the tax records of the Blood Apocalypse from the IRS.

As everyone knows.

In the Federation, nothing is exempt except death and taxes.

Cults are no exception.

The only reason they are legal is that they pay taxes, so George wanted to get their tax list through the IRS.

And so, the moment George made a move, he was immediately found out by them.

Ben's vampire friend also knew, and even said that word had already spread in the circle that they intended to deal with George, just like they dealt with that reporter, Masto, who had photographed their gathering site at the time.

That was why Ben contacted George.

But George certainly wouldn't believe Ben's nonsense.

Vampires?

This is Niuyuecheng, not Los Angeles; there is only Broadway here, no Hollywood.

George was very stubborn.

Ben was helpless. To prevent George from ending up like the reporter who was burned to death, Ben said he could prove it.

He had evidence that vampires truly existed.

Ben was much more careful and cautious than George. Seeing that the single-minded George insisted on pushing this case, he could only arrange to meet George tomorrow morning.

He hoped that George would believe his words then and stop digging into this case.

After all...

They had already given the New York Police Department a culprit.

This was because George had no stains that could be exploited by them; otherwise, they wouldn't have given a culprit, they would have just made George get out of the captain's position.

Ben was very clear about the methods of these vampires who had been hidden under Niuyuecheng for who knows how many years.

This culprit right now was the last step the vampires had given George.

If George didn't intend to take this step, God only knows what these vampires would do.

But now it was clear.

"They turned you into a vampire."

"Now you are one of them too. If you keep digging, they will probably expose you before you expose them."

Hawk took over George's words and laughed: "And if you accept your fate, they will have one more vampire captain, which can better help them hide their identities."

This plan could be perfect.

Killing two birds with one stone.

Hawk thought to himself.

George glanced at Hawk, who had exposed the vampires' intentions, his voice low.

"I won't let them..."

"Ring-a-ding!"

Just as George was about to speak, the phone on the bedside table rang.

It was George's phone.

Gwen grabbed the phone, looked at the "ben" on the caller ID, and handed it to George: "Dad, it's Uncle Ben."

George's eyes lit up, and he reached out to grab the phone Gwen handed him.

The next second.

Crack!

Just as George took the phone from Gwen's hand, he wasn't paying attention, and in a moment of carelessness, the phone in his hand was instantly crushed.

Gwen's mouth hung open.

Hawk raised an eyebrow.

George also looked in disbelief at the phone fragments falling from between his fingers.

At the same time.

The ECG monitor connected to George's body also emitted a sharp, piercing alarm sound at this moment.

Hawk and Gwen looked at the monitor.

Coming into view.

A straight line on the monitor was very clear.

But...

George was still sitting on the bed, looking as if he were still alive.
