Chapter 69 - ANALYSIS AND PLANNING (1/2)
“One of the main reasons why Frankenstein Family has been able to stand for hundreds of years is because of the partner they choose, another huge force hidden in the darkness: the Vampire clan.” Sitting in his chair, Jack slowly began to unveil Frankenstein Family’s secrets with an iced c.o.ke in his hand.
“Hey! Are you kidding? Where in the world did Vampire come from?! Are there going to be any werewolves in your next sentence?” Just after Jack had said those two sentences, Peter who was sitting with Lin Rui on sofa began to ask questions. Although there are many crazy things in the world, Peter still doesn’t believe in Vampires.
Looking at Peter, who had a disbelieving expression on his face, Jack was too lazy to explain it to him.
“Spiderman, there really are Vampires in the world. Although there’s a big gap between the real ones and the ones you saw in movies but they do exist. I don’t know if werewolves are real or not.” Jack didn’t explain anything to Peter so Lin Rui has to give this basic knowledge to Peter.
Lin Rui didn’t expect Marvel World to have Vampires before he actually met one. After all, he only used to watch Superhero movies and didn’t pay much attention to Blade playing with Vampires. As for werewolves, this setting does not seem to exist in the Marvel World, He just wonders if him being here will change the reality from what he knows.
“Oh? Are they? So what do they look like? Are they really afraid of suns.h.i.+ne and suck blood?” Hearing Lin Rui’s explanation, Peter was even more curious and questions were asked one after another.
“You will know when you see one yourself. Now, shut up!” Lin Rui’s patience for Peter’s words was constantly declining and Lin Rui has to shut him up with his serious voice.
……
“The history of Vampire can be traced back to a thousand years ago, and it is not clear how they came into being. But they have always existed in our society as hunters in the dark. Although Vampire’s existence is a top-secret affair to the general public, it is a deliberately hidden secret to some high-level executives.”
“You mean, there’s always been a relations.h.i.+p between the Vampire forces and the government? Or trade?” Hearing Jack’s words, Lin Rui quickly guessed the possible link.
“It’s not entirely correct to say that the U.S. government has been trading with the Vampire forces because it’s only one of the secret services. The department that trades with Vampires is directly controlled by Congress and they have been providing Vampires with stable blood for years in exchange for more financial support. Otherwise, where do you think those guys in Congress get so much money from?” With a disdainful smile on his lips, Jack revealed the delicate relations.h.i.+p between Vampires and the U.S. Congress in a few words.
“What about Frankenstein Family? Why do the Vampire clan trade with Frankenstein Family when there is such a shady deal between the Vampires and the U.S. Congress? No matter how you look at it, Congress is better than any Mafia family.” This time, Matt, who had been sitting in his seat and had not spoken, was also interested in Vampires.
“I’m not sure about that, but it’s only been a few decades since Vampires and Frankenstein Family got into trading. I think maybe Vampires are not satisfied with the limited and expensive blood supply provided by Congress.” Jack is not sure about the answer to Matt’s question, but he gives his own guess.
“Well, while trading with Congress can be well hidden among ordinary people, it also limited in its own development. I don’t think these Vampires want to live on the blood that Congress provides all the time. Maybe they wanted to get rid of Congress for a long time now, so they began trading with big mafia families like Frankenstein Family.” Remembering Frankenstein Family and Vampires trading items, Lin Rui confirmed Jack’s guess.
But if it’s really like Lin Rui’s guess, Vampires are likely to make a big move. After all, their plans may have lasted for decades and perhaps they are already producing their own stable blood supply. If that’s the case, Congress’s exploitation of them may be met with a frenzied backlash.
“Ah! Things are getting more and more complicated!” The more Lin thinks about it, the more things hidden in it, the more headaches he will inevitably have.
“Well, then the attack on Jeston Gang by the New York police was not accidental. There may be a shadow of Congress in it. After all, Vampires wants to be independent of Congress, so Congress certainly won’t sit there and watch them succeed. Fighting Frankenstein Family’s Mafia and breaking their deal is the first step in for Congress.” As Lin Rui rubbed his eyebrows, Matt added his own comments.
Perhaps Congress has also noticed some of the Vampires movements and the blow to Jeston Gang is a warning to the Frankenstein Family and the Vampire forces. For Vampires, who provide them with huge amounts of money all year round, Congress will not let them go easily, but they will not destroy them either. They want to find a balance between them. But this time, Vampires may not do what Congress wants.
“In that case, Do we have to become the chess pieces in the secret struggle between these two sides? Vampires want to move beyond the control of Congress, which is holding the dark forces firmly in their own hands. And our attack on Frankenstein Family has just inserted us into their fight and it will get even more chaotic from now on! ” At Matt’s words, Lin Rui’s eyebrows wrinkled even more.
“Hey! What are you talking about? What’s the trouble? Since Frankenstein Family is not good, let’s deal with them! If Vampires are even worse, we’ll deal with them together! What’s wrong with this?! As for Congress, what can they do?” Peter, who had been silent for some time, could not help interrupting. He could not understand the twists and turns of the forces, but his ideas were more direct.
Hoo!
At Peter’s words, the frowning Lin Rui and Matt suddenly turned their eyes to him. Two seemingly substantive eyes were fixed on Peter, making him uncomfortable.
“Okay! Ok! I won’t talk!” He thought he was upsetting them by interrupting, and Peter waved and shouted.
