United States of America]

[New York city]

The empire state building was one of the many landmarks of the city of New York, currently it was two days before Elizabeth broke out of her imprisonment and at this time the empire state building in one of its many floors, specifically the 100th floor, the elevator opened with a ding and a man went out.

The man was of average height, with short blonde hair and a pair of dark brown eyes, he had a small smile on his face that showed his confidence in both himself and skill.

He wore a black button up shirt with a cream white unbuttoned blazer and black jeans with white sneakers.

As he exited the elevator he stepped into a rather large and lavish looking penthouse, the elevator into the hundredth floor lead directly into the penthouse.

“Greetings. Mr Ruckfil.”

A woman with long hair tied into a ponytail greeted him. She wore a 16th century ballroom dress, cream In colour which contrasted well with her dark eyes and hair. Mr. Ruckfil could not help but find the clothing a bit odd but slightly amusing.

“I have an appointment with Ms. Alcina”

The woman gave him a nod before turning and leading him towards the location of her mistress. As he was being led he noticed the odd number of humans in the house, all women too.

‘Blood Farm?’

He asked himself, it wasn't uncommon for vampires to have the humans they suck blood from live with them as well and by carefully drinking small amounts of blood from their live-in humans, the vampire can bypass the need of having to hunt random humans for blood, essentially turning humans into livestock.

He could not help but feel a slight bitter taste in his mouth.

‘Perhaps the vegans have a point’

He thought as he walked through the living room and saw at least five more humans all sitting together watching television, another odd sight that he passed by.

having passed the living room he was led before a closed door.

“The lady is waiting for you behind the door. Please knock. Have a good day”

She said before turning back and leaving him at the door. He raised his hand to knock but before he could do so a voice beckoned him to enter.

Opening the door he walked into the room, what greeted him was a typical office room, a little bit more spacious than usual as it had two couches, a wide three person couch and a single person couch, behind the single person couch was a small yet wide bookshelf and beside the three person couch near the wall was a small table with wine and a glass placed atop it.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

“Good afternoon, Ms Alcina. I do hope this day is treating you well”

He greeted the woman who was seated at the three person couch sipping what looked to be a glass of wine, although its colour was odd.

The woman was beautiful, far more than any human woman he has ever seen, which was typical of supernatural creatures.

Despite her being seated he could easily tell she was tall, closer to the height of that one famous basketball player, she had white short ear length and curly hair, beautiful pale skin akin to snow. Her eyes were a vibrant gold with a slight glow in them giving her an ephemeral type of beauty.

Her beauty was accompanied by an incredibly sexy body as well. She had a thick body type with ample thighs that filled her gym shorts and more than adequately large breasts that threatened to spill out her form fitting tank top.

She was definitely his type, in fact if he didn't know any better he'd think she was trying to seduce him and he'd gladly let himself be seduced.

“Mr. Ruckfil, glad you could come, please have a seat”

He gave her a nod before sitting on the single person couch in front of the bookshelf. After having made himself comfortable, she spoke.

“Wine?”

She asked as she held up a glass filled with an eerily purple liquid inside.

“Trying to stay clear of any alcohol, my liver can't take it anymore”

Ruckfil answered, however both she and him knew that was not wine, well technically it was, it was just so filled to the brim with mana rich blood it turned purple and if any human were to consume such a beverage it would be like snorting pounds of crack and that wouldn't be good for anybody.

As far as he knew the drink should be dangerous to her as well but to a lesser degree, similar to how it's dangerous to drink two high caffeine energy drinks in one day.

“How very human, must be a pain to be so weak, although you're one of the few with actual skill”

She said before gulping the purple wine like a glass of water and pouring herself another glass.

“I thank you for the appraisal, but I must ask why did you call for me Ms. Alcina, my expertise are geared toward killing your kind rather than helping them”

He informed, he felt more than a little cautious, however he played it cool by relaxing his muscles so as to not appear visibly ready for a confrontation.

“That's because I need you to kill someone, a vampire, I'm sure you and your underlings can accomplish that”

She informed and he raised a brow, she was quite powerful herself, the million dollar bounty on her head spoke volumes of her strength, so it made little sense why she'd want him to do her dirty work.

“Of course, but I must ask, you have plenty of humans, why not have one of them put in a request from the guild? or better yet leak information about this Vampire to the S.E.E?”

“Because the Ruckfil family has been dealing with the supernatural since before even the Salem witch trials, as such you're experts at culling particularly powerful vampires and because it would be insulting to send anyone other than your distinguished family after him”

She explained and Ruckfil found himself curious about this vampire she wants dead, a vampire sending a human to kill a vampire, if he wasn't so confident in his skills he'd think this was some type of joke.

Although if this vampire she wants dead is powerful does that mean she lacks the means to kill it, or she is afraid of it so she needs someone else to kill it or perhaps only a person of his expertise could kill it. his curiosity peaked however at the same time so was his caution.

“I see, then what would be my reward for this request?”

He asked, he didn't need much, his family is one of the wealthiest families in North America so money was hardly a thing he was after. However he did need something else, something she can help him with.

“Anything within my power to give or rather you can choose a reward for yourself, I know someone like you doesn't need money so finish the job and I'll give you whatever reward you want”

She informed as a smile blossomed on her face and his eyes gazed at her figure as his more lecherous inner thoughts beckoned him to choose her company as a reward however he knew better plus he already had in mind what he needed.

“Very well, we'll discuss the reward later, any information on this vampire I can use?”

She simply pointed at the desk, where a yellow file case was placed and Ruckfil took and began to skim over it, a more thorough read would be done later.

“Is this all that I need to know?”

“It should be but if you find additional information that's not stated on the file then feel free to demand a greater reward or decline”

She said before a click was heard and the door opened, Ruckfil turned his head and saw a young girl no older than twelve, the girl entered the room, her head looked down and she was trembling and he could see what he thought was tears dripping down her face.

His heart panged as he turned his face to look at her and she smiled, his instincts told him to act and take this crying little girl who is about to be drained dry of her blood and killed and escape with her, however his better judgement convinced him otherwise.

He was good hunter, perhaps one of the best in the entire United States of America, however, the woman before him was an older vampire, she has no weakness to the sun and the S.E.E has been struggling to kill her, acting against her right now in her own home would be foolish, he needed careful planning and prep to take her down.

“It seems that's the end of our talk, if you would please let yourself out, I have to deal with this.”

He stood up, gave her a bow before exiting the room, however his eyes never left the crying girl until the door closed behind him.

‘vampires!!’

He thought with slight anger as he was led out of the penthouse.
