Matthew didn't just talk for the sake of talking; his manner of speaking touched on key points in the life of the man in front of him. They were points important enough to get to his weakest part.
His age, the weather, the strength of his enemies, and even his own stagnation. They were all points that attacked what in the nights told him that, perhaps, the opportunity for revenge would never co.
A vampire has a limited lifespan, after all. Though they live ten or more tis as long as humans, they will eventually die, and though it takes a long ti to co, it certainly will.
Although Jack Allen was surprised by this guy's identity, he didn't give it much thought until he realized what Matthew was doing. Thus, it only remained to see the guy's reaction to the two of them.
He stared at them for several minutes without uttering a sound. His silence revealed his deep thoughts, considerations, and machinations.
Revenge was the last thing keeping him alive. He lost his family back then when the current bastard Leaders took away what belonged to him. The City of Clans, although it was said to have a vote for election of Leaders, that was a lie. Until the past generation, it was always being passed down from generation to generation.
There was a family that once ruled this city for thousands of years. It was the sa family that the man standing there belonged to. He was the last ruler of this city, who belonged to that family.
Unfortunately, he was also the last descendant, so his thoughts harbored a wide repertoire of ideas and considerations.
After 15 minutes of thinking, he sighed. "Let see how you will do it first. I will consider helping you if I see that your initial plan succeeds. I want to see what you will do with those corpses. They have a high value out there, " he replied.
A smile erged on Matthew's face. A slightly sly smile, one that didn't show very well because of the darkness of the place.
"They'll call you, and I'll call you the mont I see them do it. You can go and consider things further." After saying this, Matthew sat down again.
His attitude was surprising when faced with possibly the most powerful person he had ever t after Gray Allen. Still, this guy had already forgotten many manners many years ago and the dignity he had lost hundreds of years ago, so he simply nodded and left.
After 5 minutes since he disappeared and the mont Jack Allen planned to sit down, Matthew stood up. "Don't slack off; let's get to work. We've got work to do, " he said, moving over to where the bodies were.
Jack Allen had to take a deep breath when he heard the first thing Matthew said. "Among the people present in the City, you're the last one to say no slacking." He retorted angrily and followed close behind.
Jack Allen was necessary for this whole plan because his doors were too useful. After Matthew grabbed the corpses, he nodded to Jack, and Jack created a door in front of both of them; he already knew the location where they would go. With everything Matthew told that guy a mont ago and what he had told him, he already understood what Matthew wanted to do.
As they walked inside the door, Matthew looked thoughtful. 'What an interesting thing this ability is. As I walk through, I don't feel a change in where I am despite there being teleportation. This guy's got a good handle on this.' He thought.
Jack Allen's ability had a lot of utility and several ways to use it. The one he used to move was like teleportation teleported to a specific location. The range was amazing, though he wouldn't be able to get from one realm to another, and maybe, at most, he could cross an entire city, which was amazing enough.
This is the basic way to use the ability, but there are several more, and among those is the one used by Jack Allen to assassinate. Being an ability so difficult to perceive and therefore to avoid, he takes advantage of this to trap his prey within a domain that is there.
It is a domain in space-ti that looks terrifying. Matthew only saw it once, and Jack didn't ntion what it was for, but it was certainly an amazing and dangerous place. The biggest problem, perhaps, is that because it's all darkness in there when soone enters, they don't even know they entered. They might think they're dizzy or sothing similar, as it's all darkness.
'This is an ability with amazing utility. But if it weren't for this guy's strength, he wouldn't be able to make good use of it. Breaking or bending space-ti to teleport like that must be difficult.' Matthew thought.
Arriving on the other side, he entered a nearby nightclub, which was silent, although it had people inside. He subsequently entered one of the rooms and placed the corpses there, recreating, with the blood, what appeared to be a fight in the place. Anyone who saw this would realize that there was an intense battle here.
And, to avoid arousing suspicion, Matthew made all those corpses look drunk and replaced the blood that had been lost. Afterward, he went out and up to the upper floors.
So people were talking on the top floor.
"Lord, business these days is going very well. Although Clan City is the quietest city in the world, at night, many of the sons of these nobles co and enjoy themselves. The nightclub is doing well, and even the companies that create weapons are selling well. I didn't think it would be so profitable here." Said one of the n present as he looked at the man standing beside him.
This one was drinking good quality wine and smiled. "I had to do a lot of research before investing here; besides, thanks to the Organization, we were able to set up perfectly, so the money will naturally co. How are those sons of nobles behaving? Are they troublemakers?"
"So are troubleso, Lord. But most are obedient. Although those of the Main Clans and Academics are troubleso and tend to clash, they still manage to solve their problems without resorting too much to violence; for now, we can control them."
The man drinking wine nodded. "That's natural; those guys are troublemakers, but they've been educated by people of high standing. Still, you should rember that two academic clans are supporting us and two main clans." He said, leaned close to his ear, and told him the nas of the clans before speaking again. "Be sure to treat them well."
The man nodded quickly. "Of course, sir. I will do as per your orders." He replied quickly, and the wine one smiled.
"Is the sale of that substance going well?" he asked quietly and received a nod from the other man.
"All good, lord. We are testing it on the youngsters, and it sells well, especially to the nobles." He replied quickly, bringing a smile to the wine man.
He then planned to take so from the glass but saw a reflection cross the windows before him. That made him turn sharply.
At that mont, a strange dagger flew towards both of them and stabbed into their necks and heads, preventing them from being able to say anything. "The conversation was interesting, but I have things to do. Die for my plan.
I will profit from your deaths." As they both listened to these words, which would be the last thing they would hear, Matthew and Jack left there and did similar things elsewhere in the city.
Matthew always does different things to make it look like the fight happened days before and even goes so far as to kill people who have nothing to do with it, solely because they could make the plan fail.
