Until this moment, the leader's body fell weakly, and he did not possess the Heartseed.
He had only heard about the existence of such things by chance and was amazed by them, even considering collecting them at one point.
However, just as he had this thought, he was sent on a mission by his superiors before he could act on it.
Since the Heartseed originated from China, he planned to look for it after completing his mission.
Unexpectedly, in this critical moment, to ensure his own safety, he fabricated a story about the Heartseed.
But knowing very little about it, he did not realize that the Heartseed had such limitations. He also did not know that this item was extremely rare; only the Emotional Intelligence Mage had created seventeen pairs of them back in the day.
Due to consumption over the years, only three pairs remained today, all held by those top-tier forces, making it impossible for him to obtain any.
Although this item had little practicality, there were still some sentimental individuals willing to use it to pledge their love to their partners.
Sometimes, ignorance is not frightening; what is frightening is knowing only the surface yet trying to deceive others with that superficial knowledge.
Once faced with someone knowledgeable, his lies would become a joke.
"You actually!"
The remaining individuals were shocked to see the leader taken down and had not yet reacted when—
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Gunfire rang out continuously until there was a click of an empty chamber. Old Ma finally tossed aside his handgun.
These fellows were all sixth-generation vampires infected by that fellow—weak in comparison. Although they were much stronger than ordinary people, they were still no match for Old Ma, who wielded a gun.
Casually picking up a fruit knife from the table nearby, Old Ma bent down and extracted the leader's heart.
As the Heart was removed, the leader's last breath also faded away.
Holding the Heart in one hand, he helped Xiao Wei up with the other.
"Xiao Wei, come, have a little."
Looking at the still-beating Heart, Xiao Wei fought against the urge to vomit and slightly opened her mouth.
The blood entered her mouth, salty and metallic, making her feel nauseous.
"Cough!~"
Having barely drunk any, Xiao Wei began to cough, finding it hard to swallow more.
However, this was enough; just a bit of heart's blood was all she needed to become like that person from five generations ago.
Casually tossing the Heart aside like trash, Old Ma picked up Xiao Wei and walked out the door.
At that moment, his subordinates had already heard the gunfire and rushed over.
"Brother Ma, are you okay?"
After speaking, he noticed Xiao Wei in Old Ma's arms, her face pale, and was immediately alarmed.
"Sister-in-law!"
"Xiao Wei is fine; it's just a bit messy in the room. You clean it up."
Old Ma replied calmly and then slowly walked away.
His subordinate found it hard to adapt to this demeanor, staring blankly as he gradually disappeared from view.
"Right! Brother Ma asked me to clean the room."
As soon as the door was opened, a scene of corpses filled the eyes, and blood had stained the luxurious carpet throughout the room red.
"What... exactly happened here?"
The sound of gunfire was too striking; it wasn't long before Director Lu arrived with a team.
At that moment, Old Ma had just tucked Xiao Wei into bed.
"Brother Ma, Director Lu is here and wants to see you."
There were a few knocks on the door, followed by the words from his subordinate.
Old Ma covered Xiao Wei with a blanket, stood up, and walked out.
"Where are they?"
"In Room Seven."
Inside the private room, Director Lu looked anxious. When he received the call about the shooting at Prosperous Dynasty, he didn't believe it at first, but it was confirmed that a prominent businessman had reported the incident.
People like that wouldn't joke about such matters, and since Prosperous Dynasty was owned by Old Ma, he was somewhat familiar with him due to Ye Mingshang's connections.
With gunfire occurring here, he had to take it seriously for both public and private reasons.
When the door opened, Director Lu instinctively stood up.
"Old Ma, there have been reports of gunfire coming from here?"
"I fired the gun."
"What?!" Director Lu was taken aback by Old Ma's frankness.
He believed there had been gunfire here; he believed Old Ma had a gun; and he also believed that Old Ma was the one who fired it.
However, he did not expect Old Ma to be so direct, showing no signs of hiding anything.
Initially, he planned to understand the situation better and would have turned a blind eye if it wasn't too serious.
But with Old Ma being so clear about it, he found himself in a difficult position. After all, he had brought a few officers with him as a precaution against any potential terrorists.
Now, under the watchful eyes of his subordinates, he felt hesitant to make a decision. He didn't want to arrest Old Ma, but he also couldn't openly let him go in front of his subordinates.
Fortunately, all the officers he brought were his trusted allies. No one spoke up to make an arrest.
"Don't you want to hear the reason?" Old Ma sat down, picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and said.
"I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation," Director Lu said with a serious expression.
Then, Old Ma recounted how those people had ambushed him while avoiding his subordinates and had taken Xiao Wei hostage as leverage. He did not hide the fact that they were vampires but did not mention that Xiao Wei had been infected.
"These bastards!"
Director Lu slammed his fist on the table, filled with rage.
The world had been unstable lately, and there were already numerous issues waiting for him to handle. How dare these foreign forces come into the country to cause trouble?
This was utterly disrespectful to Great Xia!
"Vice Principal Li!"
"Director," responded a middle-aged man wearing glasses, who appeared cultured and refined.
"Order a strict surveillance of incoming personnel in the city, especially white individuals. They must undergo thorough checks upon entering the city. Any suspicious individuals should be immediately deported. If necessary, they can be detained right away."
"Understood." Adjusting his glasses, he did not say much more. As the deputy director, he chose to unconditionally execute the director's orders.
"Old Ma, this surprise attack was due to our negligence. On behalf of the police department, I apologize to you and assure you that such incidents will not happen again," Director Lu said solemnly as he looked at Old Ma.
Old Ma waved his hand, "It's not your fault; they are not ordinary people. It's not difficult for them to infiltrate here."
"Those trash are still in my room. Are you going to take them away?"
"Please take us there. These are strong pieces of evidence against the United States."
Watching Director Lu and the others leave, Old Ma ran his fingers through his hair, his face darkened, and the anger in his heart was almost uncontrollable.
Although he didn't curse or stomp his feet, he stood there like a volcano about to erupt, causing his subordinates to feel a chill of fear.
After taking several deep breaths to calm himself, his face was already flushed red.
"Notify the personnel to disperse; we have things to do."
"Yes!"
Turning back to the hall, Old Ma seemed to have become ten years younger, exuding a commanding presence.
"Since you want to play, then I will play you to death!"
(To be continued.)
