Chapter 146: The Lost Club. (1/2)

Brooklyn.

In front of a nightclub, an all black luxury car was parked by the roadside.

”The Lost Club,” Natalia muttered as she looked at the giant sign.

”Yes, this is one of the only neutral zones in this city.” Ruby, who was in the back of the car, responded.

”Neutral zones, a place where all supernatural races could interact, as long as they didn't cause any problems...” Natalia looked at Ruby, ”Lady Ruby, you do realize this is merely an illusion they created, right?”

In the supernatural world, there was no such thing as neutral zones. A conflict could occur at any time, especially when several races were involved.

”Yes, I know... But in this place, there is an ancient witch who can help me with what I need.”

Ruby grabbed a briefcase that was next to her, opening it to find a completely black robe.

”Ugh, it's times like these that I envy Violet's powers,” Ruby complained as she began to cover herself with her cloak.

The black robe was a full-body magical tool that served to cover a vampire. The effect of the robe was simple: it prevented sunlight from passing through the robe and caused a minor illusion to cover the wearer's original appearance.

If anyone looked at Ruby, they would see her original appearance, but... In reality, she would be wearing a suffocating cloak.

”I hate this.” Those were Ruby's honest feelings, and despite having been wearing robes like this for a long time, she still didn't like it.

”...” Natalia didn't say anything, just opened the car door and got out, walked towards Ruby's door, and opened it.

Finished with donning her cloak, Ruby got out of the car.

Now out in the open, she looked up at the sky and saw the sunlight, but despite this, she wasn't feeling anything: no heat, no sensation of the skin burning, nothing.

Sigh

She sighed, a little relieved. She didn't want to feel her skin burning. Despite being trained to withstand such pain, it was still not a pleasant feeling.

She looked straight ahead and said, ”Let's go.”

”Yes, Lady Ruby.”

The two women walked towards the club, and the moment they walked through the door, a security guard looked at the two women.

Ruby removed her cloak and handed it to Natalia.

”Name.” the Security guard spoke.

”Ruby Scarlett, this is my personal maid,” Ruby spoke in a cold tone.

”S-Scarlett...” The guard struggled to process what he had heard from Ruby. This was because the owner of this establishment had always warned him.

”Be careful of people who have the surname Scarlett, Fulger, Snow, and Adrasteia...” And she always reminded them of the characteristics of these four Clans to her subordinates. The orders they had were simple: if any member of these Clans arrived at this place, no one would offend them! Especially the Scarlett Clan!

Ruby looked at the cameras, and she seemed to understand something. Soon, she started walking towards the entrance of the club.

Natalia followed Ruby in silence, a little curious about what Ruby was planning to do.

The security guard didn't even try to stop the women from entering; he was just too terrified. He had heard several stories of Clan Scarlett from his boss. Initially, he had thought that these stories were something along the lines of a scary story told to children in hopes of discouraging them from misbehaving... But…

When he saw the damage caused by Scathach in the Vatican, he began to believe these stories.

Although this had not been transmitted to the human world, all supernatural beings knew what had happened that day, six months ago.

Just what kind of monster jumps into the middle of enemy territory like it's something normal, kills all the enemy generals, and leaves!?

As an average human, he couldn't understand such irrationality.

...

”Hmm...”

”You look worried, Johnny. What happened?” Eddy asked.

”It's been six months since Jessica had last shown up, I wonder if something happened.”

Eddy's eyes twitched, ”...Are you still going on about that?”

”Of course,” Johnny spoke.

”Sigh…” Eddy sighed.

”Wolves and vampires can't be together, stop this Romeo and Juliet bullshit. Honestly, it's getting annoying. You're just making trouble for yourself.”

”…again, I say. That's none of your business.”

”…” Eddy looked at Johnny coldly, ”Oh yeah? In that case, do whatever you want, but know something...”

For a moment, Eddy's eyes glowed neon green, ”I'm loyal to Madam. If you've brought trouble with the 5 great vampire Count clans, I will voluntarily turn you over to the lions.”

”...Yes, I know that. Don't worry...” however, Johnny suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at Eddy, ”Wait a minute, did you just say 5?”

”…Aren't you aware of the news? What a great mercenary you are.”

”Spit it out! What's this about there being 5 counts? Weren't there just four?”

”That information is going to cost a lot of money.” Eddy flashed a small smile as if everything went according to plan.

”You stupid fox.” Johnny's eyes twitched as he realized why Eddy put it that way; it was a way to gain his curiosity.

”Ugh.” In the end, Johnny was still curious about the new Count. He knew that any supernatural being could tell him this information, but he was too lazy to find someone else. Plus, it wasn't like Eddy's price was drastic like the other supernatural beings or witches...

”Okay, I will pay...-” When Johnny was about to accept Eddy's deal, he stopped talking and looked around the club.

Suddenly, the entire noisy club was deadly silent, and the only thing that could be heard was the sound of music.

Johnny and Eddy looked for the reason for this, but when they looked at the entrance and saw a woman with long red hair, a curvy body, and green eyes walking in, they immediately understood what had happened.

'A beauty that can bring an entire room to silence...' Johnny thought as he stared at the woman with his mouth open.

'Shit, that crazy woman's daughter is here again.' Eddy facepalmed.

Although the way each of the men understood the situation was different.

The way everyone else looked at Ruby was the same: Fear. However, Johnny was not everyone else.

Johnny was about to get up, but the moment he tried, he was held down by Eddy:

”Forget it,” Eddy spoke in a solemn tone.

”Huh?”
