But Vincent didn't dwell on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reward was a Purple Blind Box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was unprecedented. Usually, purple boxes came from stacked missions or escalating rewards. His first purple box had given him the Ice-Ice Fruit (Hie Hie no Mi)—one of his favorite anime items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Destroy the Blood Coffin?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent stroked his chin, staring at the image of the ornate wooden sarcophagus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a man of his word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had come to the Vatican to transport an item for the banking family behind Wells Fargo. In exchange, he would receive Tesla Lighting & Energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This would complete his energy monopoly strategy for Oscorp. Tesla Lighting alone brought in over $2 billion in annual profit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If these disgusting parasites spread... will this become a Vampire Marvel Universe? Or a Zombie Marvel Universe?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All Marvel universes start the same. But a single butterfly effect—a divergence in the timeline—creates a new reality. The Marvel Zombies universe exists. Vampires exist (Blade is out there somewhere).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"System, don't blame me. But a man has to have principles.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will take the Blood Coffin back to New York... and then I will destroy it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His women—Gwen, Jessica, Julia—were in New York. If the city fell to a vampire plague, it would hurt him deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Private Jet. Landing in Rome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, we are about to land. I hope you enjoyed the flight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chief flight attendant smiled, though her eyes held a hint of disappointment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wake Ms. Roberts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent gave a curt order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attendant went into the private bedroom and woke Julia Roberts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can't let Julia stay with me,\" Vincent muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After we land, have her return to New York immediately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Involving a normal human in a vampire hunt was a death sentence. He wouldn't risk her life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rome. Near the Vatican.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Vatican. 0.44 square kilometers. 800 residents. The smallest country in the world, yet one of the safest and most influential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent felt nothing but indifference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was taken to a luxury hotel in Rome overlooking the Holy See.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was late at night. Julia was already on a connecting flight back to New York.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Vincent wasn't alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A team of top-tier international mercenaries was waiting in the suite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>X-Factor Investigations (Mercenary Team).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Team Leader: Alex Hayden (Agent X).Inez Temple (Outlaw).Mary Zero (Mutant). A quiet black girl.Tony Masters (Taskmaster). The mysterious mimic.Sandi Brandenberg. A sexy redhead wearing a mercenary outfit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had been waiting for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent glanced at the tablet dossier. Clearly, his arrival didn't thrill them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm Agent X, the operation leader,\" Alex Hayden said, his massive frame imposing, a large 'X' scar carved into his face. \"I don't know why the Vlad Family invited you, but I don't refuse a client's orders.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He extended a gloved hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-suited middleman who brought Vincent just stood aside, smiling silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent scanned their files. The only one who really interested him was Taskmaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Expert in all forms of combat—Karate, Kung Fu, you name it. A former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent injected with a special serum. Though he hadn't reached his peak \"anti-hero\" status yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Agent X frowned when Vincent ignored his handshake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other four mercenaries looked amused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially Inez Temple (Outlaw), the mutant cowgirl from Texas. She knew what Alex could do. He wasn't just strong; he had a healing factor and a nasty telepathic virus he could unleash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoa, Cap. Looks like the new kid has a problem with your authority,\" Mary Zero teased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inez twirled her revolver. Her skimpy cowgirl outfit brought some heat to the cold hotel room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taskmaster stood with his arms crossed, watching silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sandi Brandenberg, wearing little more than a bandeau top, eyed the handsome Asian newcomer with interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't care who you are,\" Agent X said coldly. \"But if you get in my way, I'll put a bullet in your brain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent turned to the black-suited middleman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When does the cargo arrive?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middleman smiled. \"The cargo requires assistance to be moved out of the Vatican. We need to be discreet. No violence inside the Holy City.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent smirked. He shoved the tablet into the middleman's chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My mission is simple: Watch you load the cargo onto my jet and fly it to New York. If you can't get the cargo out, that's not my problem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked around the presidential suite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Also, I don't share rooms with men.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And if these three women are the 'entertainment' provided by the cowardly Vlad Family... tell them they got my taste wrong. I'm not into everyone here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent's voice was flat, insulting, and calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middleman's face went pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at the mercenaries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you want to die?\" Mary Zero shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taskmaster cracked his neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inez smiled a dangerous smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sandi tapped her fingers on her holsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Agent X's eyes glowed red with bloodlust. \"Sir, follow the rules. The Vlad Family paid for you to be here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middleman didn't actually know who Vincent was. He just knew the Vlads said a \"young man\" would join the op.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Paid?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent looked at the middleman with icy contempt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm doing this because Wells Fargo begged me. I'm allowing them to buy my friendship. I don't know this 'Vlad Family.' They aren't my friends. If I get unhappy... the consequences will be severe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha!\" Inez laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Interesting man. I like him,\" Sandi grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey! You haven't apologized for what you said!\" Mary Zero yelled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent shook his head, looking bored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm going to sleep. Wake me when the cargo arrives.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked out of the suite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He went to the room directly opposite. He broke the electronic lock with a touch of ice, walked in, and shut the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had spent the flight \"exercising\" with Julia. It was 1 AM. He was tired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alex,\" Taskmaster said coldly. \"I don't want to carry that kid during the mission.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now Get The FULL Available NOVEL at Once!\u003C\u002Fp>",1035,"2026-06-06T16:16:52.860Z",1,"novelbin.me","5db9f00e62257ff0eb54ad70c11d6d6b69be0de83665e3cc067edefde43896b1","marvel-starting-with-the-ice-ice-fruit-chapter-95","marvel-starting-with-the-ice-ice-fruit-chapter-93",116,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmarvel-starting-with-the-ice-ice-fruit-cover.jpg"]
