Hellsing Corporation, EST 2012.

Alucard sighed and lay back on his chair, before taking another sip of wine, his reaction didn't seem very optimistic for Catherine.

"We have all of eternity to dwell on that matter, I don't want to touch it now." He said casually.

"I- I understand, Can I ask something?" she stuttered but then gained some backbone to ask a question.

"Ask away."

"Do you still love her?" She asked with apprehension, fearing the answer.

"No, she's dead, I can't love a dead person." He said nonchalantly, almost coldly. And she knew why.

He hated her because she died and left him in that world. But even then, she could feel it deep within every single one of his actions, whenever he kissed her, touched her, or told her 'My Draculine', he wasn't referring to her...

Before the conversation turned even more awkward as he knew Catherine felt the way he had been behaving, he picked her up and hugged her by the waist.

"You said you wanted to go on a date to the cinema, no?" He chuckled and she blushed upon the proximity, even after what they did this morning, to her this was like the first time she fell in love with someone.

"Y-Yes, shall we go now?" She nodded meekly, although it wouldn't be the first time going to the cinema for her, as she had gone with her daughter numerous times... Each time with 20 guards sitting in the frontal and rear rows as she and her daughter enjoyed the movie...

This would be the first time she went on a date to the cinema!

Said and done, Alucard took her to a cinema in North London, a place anyone in this big city could go to.

Catherine had at least three layers of clothing that made her look like a Muslim woman rather than a queen. It was also Saturday, so the place was bustling!

The two had taken a taxi and were currently looking at the available movies.

Catherine's gaze was firmly locked on a romantic movie called 'Lucky One' as she threw sidelong glances at Alucard.

Alucard however, had his eyes set on a horror movie with a wicked smile, 'The Devil Inside' he wanted to see what was it about!

The moment Catherine's gaze followed his her countenance almost paled!

"D-Dear, let's see that one-" She stuttered and tried to pull his body but he wouldn't budge!

"Hey, I want two tickets for that one" he ordered the ticket seller.

"NO!" Catherine's shouts attracted everyone as she tried to pull his hand away, she didn't want to see that movie!

The people, however, misunderstood everything and thought Alucard was forcing Catherine!

Upon hearing Catherine's despaired wails a very tall man with tattoos who had been glancing at Catherine for a while smiled and approached with his friends.

"Man, leave the lady, she doesn't want to be with you!" He dared to grip Alucard's shoulder and said threateningly.

The Count sent him a gaze filled with disdain as his eyes shone red with a wicked smile, how could he not know the gazes this man had been sending to Catherine?

"You and your friends can go and fuck yourselves!" He ordered.

...

The next second the man and his friends bowed surprising everyone nearby and left... To perform the unthinkable.

The ticket seller gave Alucard the two tickets in a trance, and the Count carried his powerless Draculine to the slaughterhouse where mental torture awaited her for one hour and a half.

This wasn't the date she was expecting.

"I Hate You!!" her last wail resounded leaving a bunch of bewildered customers... Did this cunt just jump the queue?!

**

An hour and a half later the couple could be seen leaving the cinema... the male was disappointed, the female was pale white.

"H-How could you ruin our date like this..." she mumbled still shaking at what she just saw, or what she managed to see behind her fingers that were covering her eyes for almost the whole movie.

"Sorry, I was expecting something more... bloody".

"There's no difference!" she shouted in outrage!

"Hehe, come on, it wasn't that bad" he gripped her waist trying to comfort her, she spent all of the movie clinging to him and almost crying, to think she would be this bad with horror movies...

"I'll take you somewhere better~" taking her in a princess carry he jumped from building to building as Catherine shouted "WOO!" in ecstasy, the journey was somehow long, Alucard took his time seeing her enjoying herself.

They arrived at the top of 'The Shard' the building where he had been before. It was still in construction so Catherine hadn't been here before today.

What she saw blew her mind, the whole city looked so small...

Alucard stood on top of vertical steel, which was the highest point of the building, 290 metres above the ground.

Catherine, who was still in a princess carry, holding his neck, looked down but she didn't feel fear... She was in his arms.

"Do you like it?" he asked lightly and sat on the steel, putting her on his lap.

"I love it~ Thank you for today, I always wanted to go to a cinema, but you could have chosen a better movie!" She said the first part with joy but huffed at the latest, still feeling a little angry about that choice.

"Well, we can't be perfect no?~", He said lightly but didn't expect her answer.

"No... Alucard, you are perfect." She said seriously and her infatuated and obsessed eyes locked on him, her hand caressing his cheek, this scenery was just perfect.

Alucard opened his eyes wide for a second at her seriousness but snickered the following second, "What are you talking about? I'm a monster... Could it be that you're on the phase of 'Love made me blind' hehe~" He joked...

But Catherine didn't see it like that, her lips approached him as she smiled, "I think I am, Alucard." her eyes were dreamy and her sweet voice could induce delusions.

Even if she didn't see her now, even if in his mind stood that disciple of his, she would change that... And the first step was acknowledging her feelings and forsaking her past.

Now she was a Nosferatu, not a human, her place was with him, and she also knew... His place was with her.

Her lips touched his slightly in a prude and tantalizing peck, her eyes never losing his pink ones, the meaning was clear even if she didn't say anything, 'What about you? Are you on that phase too?'

Alucard's answer was to start kissing her as he softly gripped her waist.

Her eyes narrowed slightly in dejection but she reciprocated the next second. Alucard sensed this and his fangs pierced his own mouth drawing blood for her to suck, he didn't want her thinking about that. It was complicated...

As expected, the moment Catherine tasted his blood she forgot everything and focused on it, their tongues battled as her passion erupted once again overwhelming him as she was even more fervent than last night.

It seems she had really fallen thoroughly.

For the next hour, the couple bantered and kissed on top of the tallest building in London until Alucard said he had to leave.

"Where are you going to go, Dear?" Catherine asked, concerned as she knew he wouldn't be in the UK, he'd probably be in China, she still didn't understand why someone like him would go to China.

"I'll be in China, setting up a business and investigating some things." He said, he had decided to set up a liquor company, there were very few things he liked to do aside from drinking blood and eating souls... Drinking wine was paramount, so he decided to go with that.

After getting Sheng Minglou's memories and knowledge, he now had a wide range of knowledge about economics, marketing, real estate and some other important topics he would put to good use once he went back.

"I see, then if you ever need something tell me straight away~ I'll do anything for you~ Anything~" She emphasized her 'anything' and flashed him a flirtatious smile, moving her blouse slightly and giving him the beautiful view of her nipple.

Alucard smirked and nibbled on her ear, "I'll thoroughly eat you once I finish this. Also, you will be coming with me, so you should set up everything here to come with me." he added making her gape in joy.

"Can I go with you!?" She thought he wanted her to remain as the Queen, that was, after all, the reason he made her his.

"Yes, you will be coming with me wherever I go from now on, but you have to put in the effort, I don't accept weakness." He said sternly if she wanted to come with him, she had to get stronger, he wouldn't tolerate his woman being a weakling.

Catherine didn't pay attention to his threatening tone, instead, she hurriedly gave him the deepest kiss she could muster, that's just what she wanted!

"I love you!" She billowed with heartfelt emotion, finally accepting her feelings with happiness as she gave him a hug on top of the building, wobbling and moving around not caring about the danger her movement produced as they could fall.

She knew even if she was now immortal, he wouldn't allow anything to hurt her.

After dropping Catherine back in Buckingham and managing to stick her out of his body with a half-hour deep kiss, Alucard managed to start his 'walking' journey back to China.

The first place he went to was Sheng Minglou's villa, or his new villa so to say.

He wanted to create a Liquor Company with the myriad of legendary recipes that remained in his head. Alucard could technically create a corporation that would be successful in anything he wanted.

Knowledge of technology a millennium ahead of this world resided in his mind together with the souls of enemy scientists and investors he had 'eaten' in the past.

He could easily devise a gun that would be as powerful as a nuclear warhead with a single blast just based on the knowledge within his mind, but doing so would bring about more trouble than good, so he decided not to.

At least for now; liquor would be the best option!

Forming the company from scratch would be a major hassle, so he went for the next best thing. Purchase a company that was already developed but in decline, prompting it to be sold for a rather good price.

With this line of thought, he opened 'his' MacBook and started researching such companies located in Zhonghai.

Longyuan Alcohol Development Company, Zhenshuang's Liquor, Tenwow, Summergate wine distributions.

...

Longyuan Alcohol Development Company was a company registered in 1998, located on the outskirts of Zhonghai, a small distributor.

This would be his first target.

He walked towards the door, and in the process his body morphed in the shadows, transforming into a slim version of the fatty Sheng Mingluo, a little younger but still clearly in his sixties.

He left the office and walked outside nodding at the awestruck guards who looked at him as if they just saw the creepiest of ghosts!

'Fucking hell...'

The last time they saw him was two days ago, he entered his office drunk with his wife, the slutty bombshell, every single one of them had gotten a BJ from her at the very least... Now he came two days after, completely slim, younger and with no sign of his wife...

Was it even possible to fuck someone that much!?

Alucard walked by them without the slightest concern about what went through their mind, making his way to the garage.

Inside it what awaited him were at least twenty hypercars of different brands.

He snickered, 'Have to go there with style' now he was an entrepreneur, according to Sheng Mingluo's knowledge, presentation and details were everything.

Arriving in a Camry wasn't the same as arriving in a Lamborghini... It seemed simple but the reality was way more complex.

His vision stopped on a particular car that called for his attention.

A Dark Grey Lamborghini Reventon, 2009, Limited Edition. He smirked and opened the scissor doors, got inside, starting it.

*BRROMM!* The engine roared, further confirming Alucard's election.

He smiled and put on his glasses as the big door opened.

It would be an hour's journey from Shanghai to Zhonghai, but he would enjoy every second of it, this time he wouldn't teleport.

The car stormed outside of the garage as Alucard's body morphed back to his original appearance, he drove recklessly through the road but with exhilaration, making his way to Longyuan's alcohol company.

*BROOMMM!* His engine roared as he got on the motor road.

A police car with two officers that were stationed nearby saw the Lambo coming at breakneck speed and used their device to check speed, taking a picture of the number plate.

They then sent the number plate to the office and the result came out. 'Classified'

"It's a Classified Numberplate, a rich bastard. let him go" the first officer said to his colleague.

**

An hour and a half later Alucard found himself back in the outskirts of Zhonghai having to stop once to fill up with petrol.

He parked the Lambo in front of Longyuan's building and walked to the door, the building wasn't massive but it was big enough to have its own industry.

Three massive trucks used for the merchant delivery stood outside.

It was a perfect place to start, he walked inside the building, and upon seeing him the receptionist a middle-aged woman stood up hurriedly, his appearance screamed 'businessman'.

"Hello Sir, Good Afternoon, What can I help you with?" it wasn't usual for them to get visits, especially from businessmen.

"Lead me to this Ma Guanhui's office." He ordered having researched the name of the small company owner.

The woman's eyes flashed red, usually, she would have asked him for a scheduled date or something, but she just nodded and guided him through the building.

Alucard saw how the machines produced beer, wine and rum, it seemed they didn't have a variety of products.

Shortly after the woman leads him to the door of an office, bowed and stood outside.

Alucard opened it and inside sat a man sorting a lot of paperwork, upon glancing at the entrance he frowned.

"Jianxi, why do you let a stranger inside my office?" he asked with furrowed brows, clearly tired due to his work.

"You can leave." He ordered and the woman left closing the door.

"Ma Guanhui, it is a pleasure to meet you, my name is Vlad Tepes and I'm interested in purchasing your small liquor distributor." Alucard sat in front of his desk unashamedly with his legs crossed.

The man frowned at this foreigner's casual words, he talked as if he came to buy a beer...

"My company is not on sale Mr Tepes." He said, even if the company was in decline, this was his family's support stone, he couldn't just sell it like that.

Alucard sighed, this man wasn't on his sheet of paper, so he was either innocent or never caught, his elderly appearance and the sheets of paper on his table indicated he was very hardworking and the fact that he didn't want to sell his declining company also confirmed this fact...

He didn't want to use his powers on such a person, but he was being stubborn and Alucard didn't have time to make another journey to another company just because he rejected it.

"I'm not asking you, I'm ordering you to sell me this company for thirty-three million dollars." His eyes flashed red and he made an offer, way higher than the actual price of this company which would be probably twenty-two million.

The man's eyes flashed red as his body struggled, eventually, he stood up and bowed, "It shall be done as you said."

Alucard stood up with a smile and turned around walking to the exit, "Great, you shall be appointed as this company's CEO, Ma Guanhui. I want you to schedule a meeting with your key department heads, legal advisor and production manager. Henceforth this company's name shall be Herme's Brewings a branch of my Hellsing Corporation "

"I understand boss, Should I give you a tour?" He asked politely and Alucard nodded following the CEO through a journey in his new company.

Hermes' Brewings and Hellsing Corporation were fated to shock China in the short term, but not even Alucard would be able to imagine the commotion that his company would produce, and it wouldn't necessarily be in the Liquor industry.
