“You will go investigate the secret ingredient used in Ford's sweets...”

Jeff still remembers the assignment his boss gave him

Jeff didn't know how to react

Should he refuse?

He felt that sending an experienced investigator on such a ridiculous mission was a waste of his time

His boss continued talking. “This might be a simple mission, take it as a vacation. Plus, we need to train the new apprentice.”

With these attempts at persuasion, Jeff decided to accept this mission

But he did not expect that a mission that was related to searching for the owner of this recipe would lead them to the den of a dangerous organization like the Bloody Crescent

Jeff looked away from the blood crescent symbol and returned his attention to the man holding the syringe with the red liquid

Is this the substance that the rumors had spread about...Jeff thought anxiously

Many Imperial Intelligence departments had recently been busy searching for members of the Bloody Crescent

A warning was issued prohibiting any investigator or special agent from engaging directly with members of the Bloody Crescent

That statement contained information about a strange substance possessed by the Blood Crescent Organization called 'Plasmad'.

Plasmad was able to amplify a person's strength to high levels, and an incident was mentioned in which an agent who was at the fifth level was killed by a member of the Bloody Crescent who was only at the seventh level.

The difference in levels was as enormous as an impassable abyss, but Bloody Crescent was able to overcome this abyss with such a crazy invention.

But the Plasmad had devastating side effects that could be fatal

As all the people who used this liquid suffered a similar condition of losing control of their strength

Even after they can control their powers again, they will be mentally unstable, often tending to harm themselves and mutilate parts of their bodies.

Jeff knew that no sane, right-thinking person would take such a substance with deadly side effects, but unfortunately there were many who wanted power no matter the cost.

Jeff extended his hand and spoke calmly, directing his words to the man carrying the Plasmad. “Listen... Throw this syringe away, we will only arrest you and not harm you. If you cooperate with us, you will not be imprisoned...”

Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

But Jeff's words did not seem to reach the man's ears, who was looking at them with great fear, as he quickly injected himself and pushed the Plasmad into his body.

Kelly rushed to punch him before he could do anything

But after Kelly was a few steps away from him, a firestorm erupted from the man's body

The firestorm covered the entire room and expanded, causing the ceiling and walls to collapse

“Kelly!” shouted Jeff, who surrounded himself with a shield of water

A shadow appeared from the flames and entered the water dome that Jeff had created

Kelly settled on one knee, panting heavily

Her suit was damaged, exposing parts of her white skin, but there were burns on some parts of her hands, and her sunglasses were missing.

“Dammit…” Kelly screamed furiously. “Do you know how much I paid for this amazing suit...”

"..." Don't you think this is not the time to complain?

Jeff wanted to calm her down, but he noticed a shadow in the firestorm

The man who used the Plasmad injection was holding his head and trying to muffle his voice, but he couldn't bear it for long and let out a miserable cry.

"Aaaaa..."

The man's eyes glowed an ominous red and the firestorm became more intense, causing the entire house to be destroyed and spreading to neighboring areas

But before that, Jeff grabbed Kelly's hand and they ran out of the house before it collapsed on their heads

They were able to escape without a problem because their enemy kept screaming as he tried to control his power

When they were a suitable distance away they could see the extent of the devastation caused by the firestorm

Nearly a dozen homes were reduced to ashes, while nearby homes were severely damaged

Jeff swallowed fearfully

This is the strength of someone at the top of the fifth level at least, the only thing that allowed them to get out of that place was that their enemy was not focusing on them in the first place.

If that man could control this power, he would definitely be able to cause more damage, and even they wouldn't be able to escape easily.

After about a minute, the firestorm subsided, enabling them to approach the enemy position

But all they found was burned rubble and an unimaginably charred corpse

"Did this idiot kill himself..." Kelly looked at the charred corpse in disgust

“It seems that he was unable to control his power in the end and was engulfed by the flames...” Jeff thought

“But seriously...” Kelly's voice was a little worried. “This is a terrifying power, how could just a small injection give him such power...”

Jeff didn't respond

Even he was shocked by the power of this injection, and what frightened him more were the side effects of the Plasmad

If an organization can produce a large amount of Plasmad, they will be able to create an army of superhuman warriors

This will cause the fall of the empire...no, the entire world will fall into chaos

Their world will turn into a place filled with powerful lunatics who have no control over their powers and do not think rationally

“We have to report to headquarters right now...” Jeff realized they didn't have much time

They must stop the Bloody Crescent before it is too late

Alexander entered a convenience store through the back door where he was greeted by his trusted assistant, Larry

This store was one of the branches that sold Ford's sweets

The academy provided all the necessary facilities, such as shops and restaurants, which were managed by companies

Of course, a person who does not have enough money can go to places that provide free services, such as the academy cafeteria

“Is the target here...” Alexander looked at Larry

Larry nods. “He arrived here with three other people...”

" three?." Alexander raised an eyebrow

He thought that Edward would only bring Elizabeth with him

He doesn't look like someone who has many friends

“Give me the order, I will deliver it myself...”

“ Okey...they are at table number 3.” Larry handed him five plates filled with pies and cakes

Alexander went out to look for table 3

After quickly scanning the place, he was able to locate his target

Alexander moved briskly between the tables to reach Edward and his friends

Alexander placed the plates on the table and smiled. "This is your order..."

Edward and his friends looked at him in surprise

" What?." Alexander asked confused

"What are you doing here?..." Edward asked with a frown

"Well...this is my store if you didn't know that."

"..." that's not the point

Edward knew that Alexander had avoided answering the question

“Why don’t you sit with us, Mr. Alexander...” Elizabeth invited him to join them

“I don't refuse free food...” Alexander sat next to them without hesitation

Elizabeth took out a transparent cup that contained a red liquid and began drinking from it while eating the cake with a bright smile.

"..." Alexander looked at the cup that Elizabeth was holding strangely

Is this blood?

Yes, that's definitely the smell of blood

Alexander forgot for a moment that vampires drink blood
