Alucard walked step by step wearing his tuxedo back to Zhonghai, feeling something weird inside his body for a while.
'What is this feeling?' He wondered and appeared inside his office at Hermes' Brewings.
Not giving it much importance, his thoughts remained enthralled on the night he spent with his Draculine.
Remembering their hours of passion, he couldn't help but crawl a smile with his jaws.
She was such a succubus on the bed, the last time he had such a passionate and lewd affair had been so long ago, only Catalina of Russia and Alexandra Feodorovna came to mind and were comparable to Catherine, the latters' allure and seductiveness, however, vastly outstripped theirs.
There was also the fact, that no matter how much he denied it, he and Catherine weren't just an 'affair'.
The two former women were simply crazy, especially Catalina, but Alexandra was the most shameless and amoral of the two, even going as far as offering him her beautiful daughters.
'They deserve to feel what it means to truly be a woman… I don't want them to marry someone like their father for a lifetime and die without even getting proper pleasure. Rasputin, you're the maximum exemplar to show them this' she always said to him with a shameless smile.
The Russian Zar back then had been the biggest cuckold he had seen in his entire life, he would hear how he fucked his woman and his daughters almost every night and do nothing about it.
Could he have been homosexual? Anyway… it didn't matter now.
It was already afternoon, but as it was Saturday, there weren't many people working in the offices around his one, especially the personnel coming from abroad who were still settling down.
Everyone was working overtime on weekdays, fitting their schedule in a way all the timelines could be met successfully.
Taking his seat, he turned around to the window, ready to spend his day answering any enquiry the department heads might have.
'Oh, yes I almost forgot…' His shadow moved and presented two phones in front of him.
Making a call with the first one, the irritated voice of a man answered, "What do you want!?"
Alucard snickered taking a sip of wine, his voice changed "Is that how you answer your saviour, Yuan Hewei?"
"Just tell me what you want, bastard."
"Don't talk like you're not making money with Hermes, Hewei. Do you think I don't know you bought more than ten million dollars in Hermes' shares? Are you pissed because you couldn't get more?"
…
He wouldn't acknowledge it.
"Anyway, I want you to change the signal and promote Yu Lei International as well, it's very important" Alucard ordered.
The man didn't answer for a good while, possibly considering if he could go out of this or not. But the conclusion was clear.
"… It will be done. I hope you know your place, Reng Shuang. You're not manipulating only me. This game of yours won't last too long." The man said with venom and hung up, not wanting to continue chatting with this scheming bastard.
'A pleasure to do business with you Mr Hewei, your secret is safe~'
With a chuckle, Alucard took the other phone and dialled again, "Mr Sheng, what can I do for you?…" the voice was that of a young man, and despite the politeness, he could still hear a tone of resentment."
…
The Vampire King didn't answer and instead frowned deeply, giving a sidelong glance to a certain corner of the room, but then smiled as if nothing happened.
"Mr Sheng? I'm a busy man, please state your purpose." The young man said again, clearly in a rush.
"I want you to change the signal Yang Lie, tell your officers that the sign changed, now, it's not only Hermes, buy from Yu Lei International as well, make sure to have Colonel Guanju know this information, his real estate and advertisement company is way more important for me than your sorry ass."
"…" he could almost hear the man grit his teeth from the other side, prompting him to laugh lightly and take another sip of his wine, it minding the situation at all.
"Or could it be that you prefer I go to a certain shrine and talk to someone about that favour you asked me… What was the name of the girl again, Lin Hui was it? How would she feel if she knew that you asked me for help to rape that idol, just because she looked like her… Many people loved that idol you know? how would your Yang Clan's reputation be affected?~"
"Bastard! I'll kill you! Who do you think I'm! I'm the future heir of the clan!" The man used his background like any typical young master.
"Hahaha, and my most rebellious ball sucker, do your job Yang Lie and no one will know anything..."
"This won't be the last time we speak, Sheng Minglou!" The young man also spat with venom and hung up.
Alucard could only glance at the phone with a chuckle, 'Of course, it won't~'
Alucard sighed, it wouldn't be long before the Chinese powerhouses will want to get rid of the two, but it didn't matter, by that time… He will have already taken over someone else.
"Have you finished your business…?"
…
"Yes, I apologise for making you wait…" The count sipped his wine, addressing the person behind him, but not turning around at all.
Behind him, in a dark corner where the sunlight couldn't reach, a woman walked out slowly, her frowning eyes locking on his back.
She had deep golden hair that was tied in a bun with two braids, a deep black mask that covered all her pretty countenance, two shining golden eyes flashed from there.
"When did you manage to sense me? Aren't you going to turn around and face your executioner?" The woman said with pride, stating her intentions from the get-go.
Alucard's response was a disdainful mock as he kept sipping his wine normally, "Did you come to slaughter me, or to chat?"
The mysterious woman furrowed her brows, "I have been waiting for you for a while now, and planned to end this quickly, but I'm quite surprised by the things I've seen. You weren't common after all Vlad Tepes… What are you?"
"Hehe~" Alucard laughed lightly, putting his wine to the side and uncrossing his legs, every single movement made with the most relaxed of manners, heating the woman's blood with anger!
He finally turned around and they locked eyes, she seemed unsurprised when glancing at his pink arc pupils, but she flinched when before her very eyes, they transformed into deep blood red!
"If you came to kill me. Stop wasting my time and make your move" His voice filled with murderous capacity, he could feel it.
The instinct.
This woman is very strong!
The golden-haired lady frowned further and sighed slightly through her dark mask, "If you're in such a rush to die…"
*BOOM!!*
"That can be arranged!" Without even having the time to blink! Her last words were pronounced from behind him!
*FIUSH!!*
Alucard's head 'moved' to the side as a palm passed right through where his head had been!
Her palm missed, but it left a trail of destruction in its wake!
*BOOMMM!!* Alucard could only watch in anger how a massive hole tore through his office all the way to the ceiling!
…
"AHHHH!!!" The few people they were in the office felt the shockwave and started shouting frantically.
They left their offices and up, they saw the massive hole that tore through the ceiling and passed right to the Chairman's office!
'What the hell is going on? a Meteor?!'
…
Meanwhile, the blonde lady furrowed her brows deeply… Not believing what just happened.
Her palm just missed? It can't be… She didn't see him dodge!
But she was not ready for a bigger surprise when she felt something holding her leg! Sudden! no movement, no A to B!
'W-What!? Why didn't I see-!' She didn't have time to finish her thought when Alucard's shadow held her tightly under the count's angered gaze and swung her by the leg!
"UGH!" She grunted as her whole body was flung on the air!
One swing, two and then… Release!
*BAAANG!!!* The woman's body was furiously thrown through the window blasting the desk and the glass window with supernatural speed!!!
A black blur flew from one building to the next one!
*BOOOMMM!!*
*BOOOMMMM!!!*
*BOOOOMM!!*
The blonde could only crouch down as her body blasted all the way to the next building, destroying three walls in the process, she came to a stop and could only glance with wrath at the man that appeared right in front of her, as if he had always been there, waiting for her to land pitifully!
"Now now, I can't have you breaking my office…" He said, shaking his head slightly, his office was going from high to peak, and suddenly this woman came wanting to destroy his company… He didn't know what was her purpose. She was too strong to be a mercenary.
Who would hire such a beautiful and powerful mercenary to get rid of some kickstart investor!?
The riveting blonde floated out of the debris and landed right in front of him, clenching her hands.
"Last time… who are you!?" She asked with venom, this bastard was strong, and she couldn't detect any energy or cultivation from him.
Ever since she first sensed him, she knew he was someone special, but not to this extent…
The count stood in his place, his red eyes analysing her, it didn't make sense to analyse her just looking, this is what he had been craving ever since he came to this world, it was starting to get boring!
"Once you defeat me, let my corpse answer your questions!" Alucard billowed and charged at her moving at high speeds like a black blur!
The woman frowned and prepared to receive it, her eyes shone looking at every single one of his movements.
Alucard punched forth and she palmed forward a massive crushing shockwave was released upon contact!
*BOOOMMM!!!*
His punch and her palm clashed harshly, none of the two was holding back at all and Alucard's hand got directly blasted into meat patty!!!
Having blasted his arm apart, her palm continued its trail, reaching his torso!
*BOOMM!!*
"HAAAA!!!" The blonde billowed with wrath as her palm caved directly into Alucard's torso, digging deeply through his chest!
*BAAANG!!*
His body got blasted away with a big mouthful of blood, and his face contorted, with complicated emotions due for two reasons.
First, this woman was bloody strong! A clash with his whole physical strength! And he lost badly! And not only that, he could sense that just like him, she was holding back!
He wanted to continue, digging more into her prowess!
But on the other hand, he finally understood what was that weird feeling from earlier, and it was becoming more prominent.
'You want to come out from my body? What a weird familiar.' He was naturally referring to the statue… He could sense there was a link between them, but she wasn't like the rest of his familiars for some reason, she was trying to come out of his shadow!
*BOOOMMM!!*
The masked lady panted with furrowed brows as she saw Vlad Tepes pass through multiple walls and shot out of the building like a bloody rag doll.
Her big chest heaved underneath her black dress, tired. 'My state is not complete, if I use too much power now, I won't be able to influence 'her' correctly!'
Looking at the front where the noise of falling debris continued, she wondered 'Is he dead? To think he was this powerful.' Her powers hadn't yet recovered, but she should be strong enough to defeat any transcends tribulations cultivator under the fire tribulations.
And as far as she could tell... This man was a mortal with some special powers.
But that didn't seem to be the case... The main issue is that she couldn't detect where his powers were coming from, moreover, his movement… They were simply too odd! for the first time in a long time, she wasn't able to predict someone's moves!
Sometimes she could, but the others his movements were instantaneous.
As she was resting, her shining golden eyes opened wide the next second! Disbelief and… fear. 'What!?'
She hurriedly ducked and a spear-like hand pierced through, seeking to reap her soul!
How could he possibly come from behind her! She just blasted him to the front, and once again, her 'power' was barely able to predict it!
Planting her foot on the ground hard enough to crack it, she bit her lips hard enough for them to bleed! Swung her elbow around with a vengeance, and elbowed this damned bastard!!
*BOOOMMM!!!*
"UGH!" The nosferatu grunted as he once again got thrown away through a shockwave of power towards the other side of the building!
The lady now panted roughly, 'What the hell is going on!?'… For the briefest of seconds, she felt fear… And that was because she was totally aware that this is not an illusion!
But she'd rather believe she was under a complex illusion produced by some Chinese cultivation art than the other possibility!
"You're quite strong, but is that everything you've got? I'd feel disappointed if that's all you can do. Claiming you come to execute me and all… Believe me, you don't want to see me disappointed." She could only hope she was hearing wrong...
Not even from behind… Not even a sneak attack.
Right in front of her! This bastard! The moment she blinked, he was there! No injures, no hole in his chest, no dust on his clothes…
A vein almost popped in the woman's head as she lost it, directly blurring in a flash and grabbing him by the head!
*BOOMMM!!!* Kicking on the ground with ridiculous strength, she flew off the building holding him by the face!
"HAAHAHAHAHA!!! GO ON! TRY TO KILL ME!"
She took him away, destroying a few walls, now she was mad, and Alucard's crazy laughter only made her crazier!
"Don't tell me, are you angry or something? Am I supposed to let myself be slaughtered by you, little girl?" The count let himself be taken away as his jaws prepared to bit her hand!
The woman frowned and a powerful and noble aura enveloped her body! 'I want to see if you're going to survive this!'
A few kilometres above the air, she swung her arm holding Alucard with all the force she could muster, and before the count managed to bit her pretty hand, she released throwing him at supersonic speeds towards the ground!!!
*BOOOM!!!* One for the sonic boom and the shockwave!
*BAAAAAAAANNNNNNNG!!* Two for the world-shacking impact!
The vampire King landed harshly in a big 5 stories building, destroying it completely!
Wails of despair could be heard from inside as the building crumbled on the stone monstrosity weighing a tone on their bodies… Eating them mercilessly.
The mysterious woman, however, was unconcerned… She frowned and raised her hand, a majestic golden and shining spear appeared in her hand, if it was midnight right now, her spear would have shone enough to appear like a second sun!
'This is the limit... Any more than this and it will break the treaty.'
"HAAAA!!!" Just as soon as it appeared, she threw it towards Alucard without any wisp of mercy! just as fast, no! Faster!

Somewhere in the city of Zhonghai, a few minutes ago.
Several kilometres away from their fight, an Asian man selling mutton skewers smiled like a fool remembering the night he just had yesterday with his new redhead girlfriend, it served to cover several worries he's been having.
Last night he went to a bar, remembering the last conversation he had with that woman, and got drunk, he went back to his humble house and found his redhead friend there waiting for him, and well… The rest is better left untold.
"Stop Daydreaming and work Yang Chen! We have to-!" Beside him, an old man spoke but the floor's tremor stopped his rant!
"W-What is happening! Earthquake!?" The old man said with fear as he held into anything, mimicking the few customers they had. But the Earthquake stopped the next second.
The Asian man, Yang Chen, frowned as he looked in a certain direction, his enhanced senses telling him tales.
'It's impossible, what is one of them doing here? I have to go and see...' He took out his apron for cooking, "Old Li, I have to do something very quickly, stay here and don't move!" Having said that he didn't even let the old man answer and ran towards a corner!
The moment he reached the corner he kicked on the ground, leaving cracks on it with his strength and flew towards the place where he felt that divine energy!
