Chapter 43 The History of the Vampire Clan

Early morning, inside John F. Kennedy International Airport, New York.

A passenger plane from Ohio made an emergency landing here. As the cabin door slowly opened, a pale-skinned man wearing sunglasses walked out with the flow of people.

Amidst the surging flow of disembarking passengers, the man in sunglasses took a deep, blissful breath, feeling as if he were at a Manchu Han Imperial Feast, surrounded by delicious specialties.

But the passengers around him felt a chill run through them, as if they were being watched by a predator, but they had no idea where the danger came from.

The man in sunglasses looked around at the food and suddenly sighed helplessly. Ever since he was forced to sign a contract with the human government, the good old days of drinking and spitting out food were gone forever.

"I hope that mixed-race junior will bring me good news this time," the man in sunglasses thought to himself.

It was bright daylight, and the sunlight was shining directly on the man in sunglasses' face, but a thin layer of sunscreen blocked it from his skin.

Gently wrapping his black coat tighter around himself, the man discreetly followed the crowd toward the city center.

As the man walked, he glanced to his right, sensing something.

On another passenger plane that flew in from Bangkok, a man with the same pale complexion stepped out of the cabin. Their eyes met, they nodded to each other slightly, and then they went their separate ways.

Meanwhile, vampires like the man in sunglasses have been arriving from all over the world throughout the day, invited to witness the arrival of the Blood God.

……

Inside New York City, Matt, who had just been discharged from the hospital, was undergoing rehabilitation training. Beside him, the Punisher was sharing the intelligence he had gathered over the past few days.

"I've found the vampires' gathering place. For some reason, their demand for blood has increased dramatically these past few days. They're definitely preparing for something."

"So what are you planning to do?" Matt asked while doing push-ups. "You're not going to have me and you single-handedly storm into the vampire's lair to fight, are you?"

"Do you think I'm an idiot?" The Punisher could certainly hear the sarcasm in Matt's voice.

With their current street hero strength, they would struggle to even deal with a single vampire unarmed, let alone storm a vampire's lair. Wouldn't that be suicide?

"The situation has gone beyond what we can handle. I just want to deal with evil, and I don't care about the means by which I do so," the Punisher said calmly.

"What do you mean?" Matt was slightly taken aback.

"Let's just call the police and let the authorities handle these issues," the Punisher said.

"You don't mean to get those NYPD officers to do it, do you?" Matt asked, his lips twitching.

"Of course not, how could you think that? Relying on the NYPD is less reliable than relying on us to handle this ourselves."

"I'm talking about certain secret organizations within the military and government. If we reveal the information about the vampire gathering places to them, I believe they won't stand idly by," the Punisher said.

After hearing what the Punisher said, Matt thought about it and nodded in agreement, feeling that there was nothing wrong with the Punisher's suggestion.

After talking with Blade, who has a relevant background, they actually have some understanding of the history of vampires.

Decades ago, this group of vampires was incredibly arrogant because of their superior physical abilities. They looked down on all races except themselves, and even within their own ranks, they had a clear hierarchy, creating purebloods and mixed-bloods and so on.

But this was an era of rapid technological advancement, and the vampire, due to his arrogance, offended Germany, which was then clashing with the Jews, and unsurprisingly, he was also added to the list of those to be slaughtered.

Faced with the ultraviolet lamps and silver bullets invented by Germany, the German army easily wiped out a million vampires with sheer numbers, leaving only a fraction of them alive. They also drove a large number of vampires into concentration camps for research.

Because of the brutal killings, even the ancient written language passed down by the vampires was lost due to a break in transmission.

In the German prisoner-of-war camps at the time, the method of distinguishing between Jews and vampires was also very simple: those with a heartbeat were Jews, and those without a heartbeat were vampires.

Finally, the vampires, unable to bear the slaughter any longer, had no choice but to back down and join forces with the Allied Powers to fight against fascism after signing a non-aggression pact between humans and vampires.

After the war ended, the vampires, with only a fraction remaining, naturally lacked the courage to fight against humans. They lived a relatively lawful life in the shadows, terrified of being slaughtered by the Germans.

In Matt's eyes, if these guys could be crushed by the military decades ago, then with the rapid advancement of technology now, there is no reason for them to fail. As long as the government intervenes, the outcome will definitely be better!

Soon, with the two superheroes working together, they easily infiltrated the city government offices.

After shoving a gun into the mouth of the New York City mayor, who was recently struggling with the election, the mayor, who was very concerned about the safety of New York City, immediately uploaded the vampire investigation report, which then caught the attention of a department under the United Nations.

Above a certain sea area in the United States, a huge, invisible, massive steel structure floats in the sky.

"What are these vampires up to? Vampires from all over the world are gathering in New York on a massive scale—are they planning a war?"

Inside the steel structure, a black man with one eye covered by an eyepatch frowned as he looked at the documents handed to him by an intelligence agent. The contents of the documents were truly terrifying.

When they first noticed the investigation report, S.H.I.E.L.D., which initially thought it was a minor matter, didn't pay much attention and simply allocated some manpower to conduct an in-depth investigation.

It turned out that things were even more serious than the Punisher had described; at least tens of thousands of vampires had gathered in New York at that moment.

Faced with this group of violent, blood-feeding aliens, riots could break out at any moment, which has seriously exceeded the initial bottom line.

"Sir, should we send someone to investigate their movements?" Coulson asked, but Nick Fury gently shook his head.

"No need for investigation. These vampires have crossed the line recently. If we weren't afraid of their dying counterattack, we would have wiped them out long ago. Let General Ross go and warn them."

"Isn't Ross's biological research project hitting a bottleneck lately because of the escape of experimental subjects? This is a good opportunity to give them something to do."

Nick Fury spoke casually, but all the agents present understood what having Ross come to their door meant.

Faced with a well-prepared, fully armed human army that came looking for trouble, those vampires who seemed to have physical abilities superior to humans were nothing but chickens and dogs.
