Chapter 101: The Final Race
With support from police chief Jony, the next day, early in the morning, excavators and policemen gathered at the designated location, where a terrible fire occurred thirty years ago.
Michael stood next to the scene and supervised the digging process. His face became darker and darker as he saw more and more human bones piled up.
In his life as a police officer, this was the most cruel case he had ever participated in and had ever known. William is a devil, not human.
– I’m listening. Michael spoke up as soon as he picked up the phone.
– Inspection notices have been sent to production facilities within the city and surrounding areas. Bevis’s voice rang out on the other end of the phone.
– Good. Just prepare yourself mentally.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
After speaking, Michael immediately hung up the phone and approached the scene to observe. Among those shattered skeletons, there were also the skeletons of children.
– William, you have contributed to the serious decline of this country’s population.
According to the plan, fire prevention and fighting inspection teams at production and business establishments in the city and on the outskirts of the city will simultaneously depart at eight o’clock tomorrow morning.
And according to the plan, this work will last for a week.
Of course, only one group was in charge of checking the places managed by William so that people from the criminal police could blend in and find Maris’ whereabouts through the earrings.
If Michael had not witnessed with his own eyes the diamond glowing on Samson’s collar near a place with a bad magnetic field, he would not have dared to believe that there was such a magical treasure as those earrings.
It seems that items related to vampires are truly mysterious as if they were magical.
After handing over the work to his subordinates, Michael drove to Samson’s residence to pick up the earrings.
Usually, the inspection team will start from facilities in the city center and then gradually go to farther places.
Therefore, even though he had many suspicions about William’s medical supplies factory, he could not tell them to go there first.
Although Samson had gone around there to explore and discovered nothing, what if there was a secret room or cellar inside that factory?
If the distance is too far, the two earrings will not be able to receive each other’s signal.
At the same time, a notice from the fire department also reached William.
Normally, such inspections would be carried out in the summer, but he noticed that this year they seemed to do them earlier.
– Check one step ahead, see if the fire extinguisher is too old, then replace it. Try operating the fire prevention system and see if there are errors, fix them immediately. William put down the notice and said.
– Yes. Henry replied.
While William lit a cigarette, his phone rang. The caller was the butler, so he immediately picked up the phone.
On the other end of the phone, her voice trembled as she informed him that the police were gathering on the ground of the old villa and digging up a lot of human bones.
Today the housekeeper came there to burn incense for the victims who died in the fire that year.
Today is also the day that the villa caught fire. Those victims were the sacrifices, they did not know anything about William’s plan to escape from his body.
– What’s the matter, sir? Henry asked worriedly when he saw his boss’s face darken.
– Police discovered skeletons under the floor of the old villa. William replied.
– So what? That’s where Thomas lives. They couldn’t know that person was you.
– But Anatole also had transactions with Thomas’ subordinates and later with me. If he told everything, the police would easily piece it all together.
Up until this point, William had not been able to contact Anatole. Although he tried to reassure himself, when he heard this information, he could no longer deceive himself that everything was fine.
If the police had joined hands with the vampires to destroy him, then he would destroy them too. Whoever is the last survivor is the winner.
Perhaps the police had already collected enough evidence and if he guessed correctly, this early inspection was to find the whereabouts of the female vampire.
Perhaps it was an agreement between the bloodthirsty creatures and the police.
– We will go abroad before an arrest warrant is issued. Let’s prepare procedures for you guys. And… let’s turn the place where Maris is imprisoned into the grave of all of them. William gritted his teeth, his hand clenched as if he wanted to crush the phone.
Henry bowed his head and went out. He thought that when something happened, William would escape alone to avoid entanglement or would only take him and a few close people with him.
But when Henry heard William say he would take everyone else with him, Henry was extremely moved.
Perhaps the fire in the past was because he had no other choice so he had to sacrifice those who worked for him.
Day after day passed and when Henry had completed the exit procedures for everyone and had plane tickets in hand, the fire department’s inspection team also began to inspect the East factory area.
Bevis was the person Michael assigned to carry the earring and follow the inspection team to find Maris’ whereabouts.
After going around the factory, the earrings showed no signs of any difference, making Bevis extremely disappointed.
He even separated from the group and went into hidden corners pretending to check to find a secret room as Michael had instructed, but as a result, he did not find any suspicious place.
– Bevis, have you found what you were looking for? We’ve been going back and forth in this factory several times. The deputy head of the inspection team leaned into Bevis’s ear and asked softly.
– Please go one more round.
The deputy inspector’s face was as long as a bicycle pump, but he still had to do as Bevis wanted because Jony said he had to follow the requests of the staff of the special criminal police team.
All the staff in the inspection team did not know that what Bevis wanted to find was a female vampire.
They just received orders to check fire prevention and fighting work at the facilities earlier than the prescribed time and brought this guy with them.
Everyone continued walking and Bevis continued to search with wide eyes. And this time, he stopped in front of a dead-end staircase blocked by a wall.
While the factory manager was listening attentively to the inspection team leader’s request to install an additional water curtain to prevent fire with sprinkler heads, Bevis immediately approached the wall to listen and grope.
Seeing a gap, he immediately brought the earring closer and as he suspected, the pink gem on it gradually lit up.
Inside, Maris also noticed light radiating from her remaining earring. She was happy, tried to get up, and looked around.
However, she did not dare to move too far from where she was sitting for fear that the garlic water tank under her feet would suddenly appear.
William still left this glass cage with a few gaps to get air. The ventilation system helps keep the basement from lacking oxygen.
Maris thought it was Samson or Harvey coming to save her, but when she saw the light fading, her hope also disappeared.
– We can go now. Bevis leaned into the ear of the inspection team deputy and whispered as soon as he returned.
– Okay.
The inspection team’s deputy quickly walked over and signaled the team leader. And just five minutes later, the official vehicles left the factory, leaving the vampire woman with disappointment and regret.
Not long after the guests left, Henry and several men appeared with large bags.
After letting all the workers working in the factory leave with the excuse that they needed to fix the fire suppression system to ensure safety, they proceeded to install time bombs everywhere.
William said this destruction was for those who dared to stop and destroy his wish for immortality.
– Sir, everything is done. Henry informed William after completing the task.
– Good, maybe those hunters are on their way here. Now let’s sit and wait to see if they fall into the trap.
While William’s plan was well arranged, at this time in the small house in the alley, four people including Harvey, Samson, Aurora, and Lucasta were still arguing.
While the two girls insisted on accompanying them on this trip, the two guys did not agree.
– If you two go, you’ll get in our way and make us more worried and distracted. Please stay at home. Harvey spoke up.
– That’s right, let’s not argue anymore. Samson lowered his voice, and his eyes did not leave Lucasta’s angry face.
Since early morning, Samson brought Lucasta here so she could stay with Aurora until he and Harvey successfully rescued Maris and then he would immediately pick her up and take her back to the forest.
The police were always on duty in this alley, so he felt extremely secure.
– Harvey, what did you say to me? We love each other, enjoy each other’s joys, feel each other’s sorrows, and share our concerns. That’s true love. You said so before, you bastard. Aurora tried to hold back her tears and spoke loudly.
– If you don’t take me with you today, you don’t need to come back here to pick me up anymore. Lucasta glared at Samson, her voice was not small at all.
Helplessness appeared clearly on two handsome faces. The two men did not let the two girls follow because they were worried about the girls’ safety.
To be honest, both Harvey and Samson wish to be close to their lovers every second of every moment.
With Aurora’s personality and Lucasta’s stubbornness, the two girls would probably drive there themselves if left behind.
– Okay, then let’s go. Samson nodded in agreement.
According to the plan, they will depart at the same time as the police group led by Michael.
And tonight, another group of police led by Bevis will storm William’s villa and capture him and the bodyguards who were the henchmen in the bloody missions.
Tonight, everything will end. The darkness that has covered the city for the past thirty years will be lifted.
– I’ll make you some fried noodles, Lucasta. Aurora turned to Lucasta and said.
– Yes. Let me help you.
The two girls stood up at the same time and went into the kitchen. The sound of laughter and conversation made the two guys feel warm.
Samson was happy to learn that Harvey and Aurora were a couple, they overcame the obstacles of fate to love each other.
Maybe this love won’t be complete, but at least it makes both of them feel the pinnacle of happiness.
If the future is too dark, just look at the present. No one knows what will happen until it happens.
– Wish us happiness. Harvey looked at Samson and smiled.
– Sure.
