Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!

531  Traitors spread like rats

After a long walk, Matthew was able to see every nook and cranny of the two floors below. Although there was one more, it was not that big and remained closed most of the year. It is only opened for very large clandestine auctions.

The cost of making such large, sturdy, and glamorous floors underground is unimaginable. Even Matthew has to tip his hat a little to whoever did this.

'The Mafias do have cash flow... I'm afraid even a Vampire Clan would have difficulty doing this.' He thought.

At this moment, he was climbing upstairs next to Ava. Egrand was separated from them by Matthew's decision.

"What exactly do you intend to do? It's funny that you allow them to be so free even though you can control them." Ava asked.

Matthew simply smiled.

"Controlling the mafia is very annoying unless you want to really get into it with them. I don't want to waste too much time dealing with so many things. That's why I let them be a little independent; besides, that way, I gain favor with them and do a favor to the person who will run the mobs on my behalf."

"Will you put someone to run it for you? One of the girls?"

"That's right, I'll put Ava to run these things." He replied, smiling a little and stroking her hair a little.

She was shocked and stopped walking. "Me? Do you want me to run that much? It's a giant mafia, Matt. It's too much."

"Didn't you say you wanted to prove yourself? I brought you here precisely to familiarize yourself. In the future, I want you to lead this mafia and control the entire underworld. I am unlike those who believe destroying the underworld is possible. That place will exist as long as there is a society, as there are always people with those kinds of thoughts. Therefore, I do not intend to destroy them; on the contrary, I want to control them. And you will be the lady in charge of making that possible. You will receive my full support. Together with the Magical Vampire Squadron, I think you'll be able to do well, so try hard."

His words shocked Ava, and he kept walking.

Soon after, Ava smiled a little and ran after him.

Soon after, they went up to the second floor and walked around the place a bit, but since they were walking alone and not showing themselves, they could not enter everywhere.

There was a lot of security everywhere, and occasionally, people of a high status passed by, with a certain amount of bodyguards behind them. The crowd of vampires somehow shocked Ava, who was not used to seeing so many vampires in one place.

Moreover, many were powerful and occasionally passed people at the 100,000 Power level.

'Unlike the Human Empire where people with 100,000 Power are so rare that they consider them 'Leaders', here they are so numerous that you can see a few even walking by. Many of them are even protecting someone rich but not strong.' She thought.

This was a new world for her, as she hadn't been out much during her stay here and only now had the opportunity to see all of this.

As they walked, she noticed they were heading for the exit, so she looked at Matthew.

"We just came for sightseeing? I thought you came with other ideas besides what you told me."

"Sightseeing is good; you recognize the terrain and who you're up against. But, no, I didn't come just for that. I've been watching the traitors."

"Are there many?"

"Yes, more than I thought."

"We won't kill them?"

"No, not at present. I just feel there's something strange lately."

"In the traitors?"

"In their daggers, to be exact. Looks like I need to lock myself away to investigate those things further."

Ava nodded. She couldn't feel the daggers he mentioned but had seen them before.

As they walked, a person came into Matthew's view.

"Oh, Jack. I haven't seen you in days." Matthew said, greeting Jack Allen as he arrived at his side.

He was covered entirely in dark clothing, but Matthew easily recognized him by his energy.

"Lord Matthew, Alice told me to come and tell you that they had to return to the Academy quickly. Apparently, traitors appear in every classroom, even among the weaker ones in the Third Academy. But..."

"Finish speaking."

"I'm afraid we can no longer consider all of them traitors."

Matthew looked up and stared at him. "Didn't I tell you to finish talking?"

Jack immediately apologized. "I'm sorry. I mean that these guys are being lured by a strange religion that came up recently. They promise them a little power and give it to them immediately. In the end, none betray the race because they don't do missions, but because of that, they are spreading like ants. That religion is the same organization."

Matthew nodded a little. 'They're up to their old tricks again, but I'm afraid they're not doing it as they used to. Now, there's something different. Why are they doing it? What the hell are those guys planning? Do they want to cause a massacre?' He thought, feeling frustrated that he couldn't see anymore.

But suddenly, his eyes flashed with an idea.

"Jack."

"Yes?"

"Your territory is in the Kingdom of Zimmermann, isn't it?"

Jack nodded. "On its borders, why?"

Matthew smiled, "Go back to your territory. I want you to gather many women of other races, no matter the race, but they must not be vampires. It also doesn't matter if she's strong or not; use your status to gather them."

"Huh? Why?" he asked, in shock, unable to understand.

Ava, who was standing silently to the side, was surprised.

'It seems he wants to use his ability massively.' She thought. For some reason, she smiled. She realized that she would soon have a lot of female companions.

"Don't ask, just do it. Also, from what I hear, recently, the Zimmermann Kingdom is having an increased influx of Devourers. Is that true?"

Though Jack didn't understand, he nodded at his question. "That's right. The Devourers seem to have sponsors because they came to a place they shouldn't; I was researching that topic earlier but didn't find much. Why?"

"Well, don't worry about the reasons and go there to start a war against those devourers. Try to get other races involved in the war and also make use of the civilian or not-so-strong vampires so that the war escalates to a new level. I will send someone to help you; don't ask the motives; just do as I say."

Jack Allen gaped after hearing this but had to be forced to nod. "Can I ask the Clan for help? Starting a war like this isn't easy, even for my territory."

"You can do it if you have someone who can help you. But, avoid moving too many people. There are some people who might ruin my plan if they find out, so be careful."

"I understand. I'll be back to prepare."

"Okay, I'll send you a message about everything you need to do, so don't get too overwhelmed."

After this, Jack Allen disappeared.

Then, Matthew and Ava came out of this huge building with so many beautiful corridors.

"What do you intend to do?"

Matthew smiled. "Not much; I'll just play a little." He soon grabbed Ava by the waist and immediately started flying away from the place at high speed.

In his mind, a conversation was being relayed at that moment. 'So they've already started talking, huh? I wonder what kind of plans they have now.' He thought.
