Chapter 1458 - A Red Question (1/2)
It was strange to find out this information about vampires knowing these crystals because it was something even Quinn was unaware of. He was sure that if the vampires had such crystals, then when he had first obtained the upgrade crystal, Vincent would have known about it.
”Don't look at me,” Vincent said, shrugging his shoulders as if he could read Quinn's mind. ”There was a period in my life where I know no details of what happened.”
”Can you elaborate a little?” Quinn asked, smiling towards Muka.
”You have to remember that a lot of vampires pride themselves on their natural strength, and only the tenth family was interested in things like using the beast crystals for combat. In contrast, we focused on their use more so in everyday life as an energy source.
”When the tenth leader disappeared, there weren't many vampires who were interested in beast crystals anymore; in fact, it's safe to say that there were none. Still, during our expeditions, we did come across different crystals. The round one that is in his hand, I have seen it before…about the others, I can't say if we have or not because I do not know what they look like.
”But sometimes, we came across crystals that don't exactly match up to the regular beast crystals you know of today.”
Quinn thanked Muka for explaining. He would need to look into that when they got back. Thankfully they had transported everything in the vampire settlement with them. The only thing he was wondering about was whether these crystals were abundant in the vampire solar system or not.
If they were, then there would be another tool that they could use to help them in the war against the Dalki. At the moment, Quinn had some fourth family members out exploring the beast planets, searching for a nest crystal. It would be a boost if he could instruct them to look for these other crystals.
For the next few minutes, Mona asked Nathan a few more questions, mainly to do with the Bree family, but he didn't seem to know much about the exact situation. Just to make sure the latter was being honest, Quinn had used his influence skill this time, and it seemed like he had been telling the truth all along.
”Is there any more information that we can try asking from Nathan before we move on to other things?” Quinn asked.
At that moment, Sach raised his hand.
”Pure... how were they able to get you to help them out. We heard from Sam about the base they took over. What is the current situation with all of the members of the Board and what is going to happen now...how was Pure able to do all of this?”
Nathan gulped before answering this question; the question alone made him recall some scenes in his head.
”I was one of the lucky ones.” Nathan finally replied. ”When Sam ordered me to help out the Earthborn group, Sach, you sent me to Earth for a task. At the time, everything was going well, and every one of the Earthborn forces was focused on fighting the Dalki.
”From what I gathered, it was a single attack orchestrated by Pure. They had hit each of the cities and the military bases, all at the same time. Our forces were weak, they were powerful, but the final nail on the coffin was the Pure members who were part of the group.
”At the moment, every force on Earth...is pretty much under their control. Family members are being used as hostages, leaving those like me with no choice but to act and do their bidding. I am afraid that they have the whole world as a hostage, including the BBoard's power.”
They all knew that this wasn't good news at all and was the worst outcome they could expect. For one, the Board were families that the military and other groups relied on; this was the main reason why the former could blackmail them into this event in the first place.
After what had happened and with things not going their way, it was possible that unless the people here were willing to fight their own and go to war, Earth now belonged to Pure.
”If we have time, resources won't be too much of an issue,” Quinn said. ”There are ways for us to get the things we need to help fight.”
When saying this, Quinn was thinking about using the vampire resources and the beast planets in their solar system.
”Still, this pressure that we could be attacked from our back at any time is not a good one... we need to get Earth back by any means, while not moving our forces which are fighting against the Dalki. If we make one movement, the latter will notice this, and it won't be long before we get into something even more troublesome. ”
It was then that an unexpected person had raised their hand, one that had been silent for almost the entire time. It was the unranked Sera, sitting at the table.
”Let me take care of Pure,” Sera said. ”I wasn't involved in this war with the Dalki anyway, but I'll make sure that all of these Pure members no longer exist.”
”What is in it for you?” Samantha asked. ”What do you want in return?”
