Crossover Anime: How a Shameless Person Lives

Chapter 173 Alucard's Evaluation: A Man Who Sleeps with His Eyes Open

"Bang!"

The door was kicked open, and Mercury, who was feeding Sylvie, was startled and turned to look.

Alucard was beaming with excitement, his body radiating a powerful aura of blood.

Even just smelling the air, you could feel his excitement.

"Hey, Alucard, welcome back. You've really done something big."

"Dad." Sylvie looked at Alucard warily.

After spending so many days together, she has learned to think about Mercury's feelings.

"As expected, children like this are the easiest to win over." Mercury raised his hand and gently stroked Sylvie's soft hair, reassuring her.

"I heard you went to a meeting as soon as you got back~ Did something interesting happen~?"

Accardo leaned against the doorframe, his scarlet pupils glowing red, and the surging blood energy around him permeated the air.

"This is quite interesting." Alucard slowly walked into the room, each step intensifying the aura of bloodlust around him. "I saw something interesting in that guy's memories~"

He stopped in his tracks, his gaze falling on Sylvie, who was obediently leaning against Mercury, and his violent bloodlust subsided slightly.

The information I gleaned from the blood of that guy in Brazil, the major's declaration of war in the conference room after I returned, and the intelligence brought by his clandestine contact with me.

And the "underworld" that was leaked to the whole world!

These successive events had already made him tremble with excitement!

"Hehe... Hahahaha!"

Sylvie instinctively shrank back behind Mercury, a hint of fear flashing in her eyes, but she quickly calmed down because of Mercury's warmth.

"Don't be afraid, it's just an old man's self-indulgence." Mercury gently patted Sylvie's head, then looked up at Alucard. "Blood is the currency of the soul, this ability is truly enviable. How about turning my daughter into a vampire too?"

Alucard's smile vanished abruptly, his crimson eyes fixed on Mercury. "What kind of gift do you think an immortal curse is worth giving?"

"What do you think?" Mercury looked down.

Sylvie clutched Mercury's clothes, her body trembling slightly, but she still managed to tilt her head back and whispered, "I...I just want to stay by Father's side..."

"Did you hear that?" Mercury pulled her behind him, his eyes expectantly meeting Alucard's gaze. "I just feel that immortality is something we can be more at ease leaving to our own people. In case I'm gone one day, she can still live a good life."

Accardo stepped forward slowly, meeting Mercury's gaze at him, his voice carrying a barely perceptible sadness.

"Do you know what it means to become a vampire? To be surrounded by blood day and night, scorched by the sun, and have your mind slowly eroded by time! In the end, you'll even forget who you are!"

He became more and more agitated as he spoke, and finally even roared in disappointment.

Nobody wants to become a monster!

Sylvie huddled closer to Mercury's back, her voice weak yet unusually firm: "...As long as Father doesn't hate me, anything is fine."

"Such touching loyalty." His eyes held a newfound seriousness. "However, your father had better not joke like that."

After saying that, he walked out.

It's as if they're only here to show off.

……

"Lord Alucard, are you sure?"

Walter, the butler, had been waiting for quite some time on the other side of the corridor.

He went to meet Akado when he came out.

"It's confirmed." Alucard's maniacal smile returned. "That guy's life is so empty; there's absolutely no hope for the future in his eyes."

"A living dead?" Walter commented.

This was rejected by Accardo. "No, that guy has the will to live. He probably doesn't even realize it himself. The madness in his eyes is a determination to drag the whole world down with him! Hahahaha!"

"You seem quite pleased, Lord Alucard."

"Yes, I'm very happy." Accardo looked at his hands, his breathing becoming rapid.

"That mad major has declared war on us."

Vampires, demons, curses, churches, secret organizations...

Everything that has been hiding in the shadows is about to emerge.

He looked out the window, as if he could already smell the bloodshed that was about to sweep the globe.

"I look forward to having a good fight with that kid, in my most complete and insane form."

Then... give him a good wake-up call! Make him confront his own heart through his emptiness!

What changes will this powerful brat bring to this crazy world?

I can't wait! I'm incredibly excited!

……

"dad."

Inside the room, Sylvie looked at Mercury with unease and said in a weak but firm voice, "I know I am physically weak and cannot lift heavy things. I am also not good-looking and have ugly scars all over my body."

But... but I will try my best to become a useful person, even if it means becoming a vampire, so..."

"Don't worry, Xiao hope is very useful~" Mercury used his head-patting skill.

Sylvie's small body stiffened. She clutched Mercury's clothes tightly, buried her face in his chest, her voice trembling with tears yet full of dependence.

"My life used to consist of nothing but being beaten and screaming. If I didn't do that, I wouldn't have any moldy bread to eat, and I could only sleep in a corner..."

My dad is such a good person. He takes me out to eat delicious food, buys me nice clothes, and lets me sleep in a soft bed. These are all things I've never experienced before.

So...so...Sylvie will try her best to become someone useful to Daddy, please don't abandon Sylvie, okay?

Mercury's fingertips froze in mid-air, his habitual head-patting gesture, tinged with a playful control, coming to a complete halt at that moment.

He stared blankly at the small figure curled up in his arms, trembling all over, not daring to even plead loudly.

His gaze softened, and he gently embraced her.

"Old man, I think I'm starting to understand you a little."
