Two days later, still in that same Russian military base.

Even though the chair she was sitting on was extremely comfy, Diana, who was currently reading another report, had a deep frown on her face, causing the other two people in the room to sweat.

Although the two of them had done nothing like the person in the report, they still couldn't help but feel some primal terror rise up within their minds.

If Andropov, who was one of Diana's first subordinates in Russia, could still breathe, even though it was extremely difficult, Ivan, who had just been recently recruited couldn't even do that, feeling as though the grim reaper was touching his neck.

As she raised her eyes from the report and saw this, Diana couldn't help but shake her head.

"You two don't have to worry about this, I don't doubt your loyalty," said Diana, causing the burden placed on the heads of the two to instantly disappear.

Although the two didn't know it just yet, but Diana was not exaggerating in the slightest, she did not doubt the loyalty of the two men in front of her, as she had tested it already, although the two did not know it just yet.

"So, Andropov, what is your opinion on the validity of this report," asked Diana, causing the slightly younger man to suddenly raise his head.

"The evidence is beyond any sort of doubt, I could put my life on the line for the validity of this report," said Andropov, causing Diana to faintly nod.

"You don't have to do anything like that, the things I did in the past were just to establish a set of rules, I don't intend to continue doing things like that, otherwise I won't have any subordinates left," said Diana before shaking her.

"But, if you don't doubt the truth of this report, what plan did you make to try to minimize its effects?" asked Diana as she looked at the two vampires in front of her with a faint smile on her face.

After hearing this, Andropov began speaking, although Diana could see that he had already prepared a plan before meeting her, she did not care in the slightest, and was merely listening to it carefully, trying to find any flaws in it.

...

As they looked at the woman who was sitting on a chair, staring at them, both Ozaki Koji, and Shinohara Haru froze, for very different reasons.

The moment Haru looked at the woman in front of her, she couldn't help but feel a deep fear emerge from within herself, it was as if she was a little deer staring straight at her predator, who was about to hunt her down.

In fact, if Haru had paid more attention, she would have realized that his feeling was very similar to what she felt whilst standing next to Koji, the only difference was that Koji was trying his best to restrain himself.

At the same time, although even if she tried to sense it, she wouldn't have been able to, there was a faint difference between Koji's and Diana's aura.

Even though Koji was much older than Diana, for some reason, the latter felt much more ancient and bloodthirsty, it was as if Diana had fought on a battlefield all of her life.

On the other hand, Koji was feeling terror for an entirely different reason.

'How long was she here? Even with my enhanced vampire senses, I didn't notice anything in the slightest,' thought Koji as he looked at Diana, not letting the terror he was feeling get to his head.

"You don't have to be afraid of me Haru, come closer," said Diana as she looked at Haru, causing the latter to involuntarily step closer and closer to Diana, under Koji's watchful eyes.

"Very good, we can skip greetings for now, I'm in a bit of a hurry, show me your stand," said Diana, causing an ethereal green figure to suddenly appear behind Haru, causing the mood of the room to change.

The moment the figure appeared, an invisible wave of power silently traveled through the room, not noticed by anyone other than Diana.

"Very good, it seems as though Koji didn't lie to me," mumbled Diana as she suddenly stabbed her own hand under the shocked eyes of the two.

As Haru was standing extremely close to Diana, blood splattered over her as well, causing her to shiver for a brief moment.

"Now go ahead and heal my hand, I don't like suppressing my healing factor for long," said Diana as she looked at Haru with a faint smile on her face.

Hearing this, Haru immediately took action, and retracted the wave of power that had been sent throughout the room.

A moment later, Haru's stand placed its own hand over Beatrice's hand, causing both of them to be enveloped by a green light.

In just under ten seconds, the stand then retracted its hand, leaving Diana's hand fully healed.

Feeling this, Diana couldn't help but smile as she moved this hand and touched Haru's cheek whilst shaking her head.

"If only things could always be this peaceful..." mumbled Diana as she stared at Koji with a faint smile on her face, causing alarms to ring inside his brain.

Sadly though, it was too late for him, as seven masked men suddenly appeared inside the room, each of them having a stand behind them.

In but an instant, the three of the seven men lunged towards Diana, who was still sitting on a chair.

Seeing this, Diana shook her head.

'As the first person that Lady Diana has transformed into a vampire, it's quite a pity that you have betrayed her, Koji,' thought 'Diana' as she looked at the scene in front of her with a smile still present on her face.

Before the three men could reach her, 'Diana' as well as Haru, both disappeared, leaving only eight people living inside the mansion.

Sadly though, the eight did not have any time to react to what had happened, as the entire mansion, alongside the surrounding homes, suddenly exploded.

...

Looking at the fireball that had risen, Andropov, who was now holding an unconscious Haru in his hands, couldn't help but shake his head as he looked at Ivan.

"I still can't imagine how you managed to sneak in a heavy-duty bomb into Japan," mumbled Andropov, causing Ivan, as well as the man sitting next to him, to chuckle.

The thing that had just blown up the house was not an ordinary bomb, rather, it was something that the Russian Military used for destroying fortified targets that were purposely built to defend against bombs.

More specifically, this was a KAB-500, which weighed over 500 kilograms.

As such, everything inside that house was dead, no questions about it.
