"So, when do we go out and do something? Mr. Mastermind," Natsumi-san said as she kept tossing her pen and flipping it around in her fingers. I also want to learn how to do this.

I held my chin while looking at the screen. Even if we say so, handling seven hundred vampires all at once is pretty hard and the only way to get to us is by that single elevator which means they are going to probably break them down but the main problem for them does not start from there but after it.

Each floor has a big silver door which is protecting the entrance of the floor so unless you have a key card, you won’t be able to do anything about it meaning that there were two ways for them to go about it. Either break in every floor one by one and clear the floor or make all the floors accessible by breaking the silver doors of each floor.

Then dealing with the UV lights which were in the hallway was also a-

"As I thought," I muttered and we all went for our pockets and put on our night vision goggles while Ai and Akira’s eyes started glowing in the dark.

"You predicted this didn’t you?" Natsumi-san asked and I nodded.

"The entire hallways were lit with UV lights and the only way to disable them was by either using the card given to a vampire or…cutting off the power supply so that there is no electricity at all which won’t be a problem to them since they are vampires and look in the dark," I said and looked back at the screen which was dimly lit. "The only things which are working right now are the security cameras and these screens and all the devices used to preserve samples in the infirmary and research floor and the vents pumping in oxygen so we don’t die."

"But if they don’t have electricity, they won’t be able to use the elevator at all to get here," Iwaguchi-san said. "Isn’t it just stupid?"

"Noble vampires are not as stupid as mere critters or some novices," Ai said. "With age comes experience and wisdom. Which means that they already have ways to deal with this situation too."

"Exactly and if the power is cut off right now, it means that the snitch was at the power station on the twenty-second floor," I said with a smirk on my face and their eyes widened. "You need to sacrifice something to gain something."

There were already four teams deployed in the power stations by James. He, I, and Natsumi-san came up with a plan thoroughly along with the other members of the boards, and looks like they are not as dumb as I thought they were. The teams had no idea who was deployed where and were told specifically to not tell anyone else. Every battle suit had a microphone and speaker in-built meaning that we could easily find out who broke this rule.

"Special class hunter Kawazuki Natsumi-san, we have captured the snitch. Awaiting further orders," a voice came from Natsumi-san’s speaker.

"Good, stay on alert and bring them to the infirmary-"

"Not there," I said interrupting Natsumi-san and she raised her eyebrow. "Bring them to the training area and lock the place."

"Take them to the seventeenth floor and lock them in the training hall," Natsumi-san said in her intercom.

"Roger ma’am."

She looked back at me and I looked at the screen. I don’t know why but even if they are trying so hard to break in, it just seems weird. The paths they chose are the best but I can’t shake off this uneasy feeling and while breaking into the VEO is really hard, they could not just make any mistakes which means…

"This attack is just a diversion," I said out loud enough to be heard by everyone and I looked at Akira. "Akira, do you know who the person was that ordered you to raid the VEO?"

The moment I said that I could see her lips tremble a little meaning she knew who it was but…

"There is nothing to be afraid of, you are safe here," I said in a reassuring tone. "You are part of our team now so we will protect you, right?"

"If Kazu-kun says so," Ai said averting her gaze and I looked at Natsumi-san and Iwaguchi-san and they nodded.

"I-It’s father," Akira said and I raised my eyebrow.

"Father? Do you know his name?" I asked her and she nodded and for the first time, I saw Akira’s expression change. It changed to a look of fear.

"F-Father Dominic Garcia."

As soon as the words left her mouth, there was complete silence in the room and we all stared at Ai. Why? Because I could see her trembling while clenching her fist and her face had an angry and scared look on it. Her eyes were shining brightly and her fangs were clearly seen.

I walked over to her and placed my hand on her shoulder. She stopped trembling but the expression still did not leave her face.

"Ai, do you know this person?" I asked calmly.

"Know? This person was the one who killed my parents on my fourth birthday," she said in a dark tone and I clenched my fists and grit my teeth.

I felt anger boiling up in me.

The man who made Ai suffer so much was the one who was pulling the strings the entire time.

I won’t forgive him.

Not at all.

He will die by my hands.

"Umm…I know this is a very important moment and all but…they have broken the door of the first floor," Iwaguchi-san said pointing at the screen.

We all looked at the screen and the door of the first floor had been broken down. Obviously! The only time I am not looking at the screen, they do something really big. Wow, luck may not be on my side here. The person who looked like he broke the door had bright red hair and blue eyes.

The first floor had five teams deployed there and they were made by merging two teams together so there were twenty vampire hunters there. Looking at the number of vampires, it was sure, not small at all but I think they can handle it. There were two special class hunters on that floor but the vampires were a lot too.

"I am going to assist them," Iwaguchi-san said activating his combat axe.

"How will you even do that? We are on the nineteenth floor and they are on the first floor," Ai said to him but he just flashed a wide grin which soon disappeared as he started scratching his head.

"Yeah, how will I get there?" he said to himself and we all facepalmed.

I let out a sigh and looked back at Iwaguchi-san and then at Natsumi-san only to see her activate her scythe. Looks like they are planning to go there together.

"Akira, send them to the first floor," I asked the noble who was standing there silently.

"As you wish," she said and walked next to Natsumi-san and Iwaguchi-san and disappeared.

I let out a sigh and looked back at Ai who still hadn’t calmed down. Right now it was just the two of us in the room and she was still shivering a little. I gently held her hand making her look at me. Her face was still no calm and I know knowing that the person who killed your parents was the one who planned all this will definitely not make you calm at all and I can’t blame Ai for that at all.

Honestly, I too was furious but I cannot let my emotions get me. Not right now.

"Ai, if we find that person, I promise you that we will kill him, okay?" I said to her and she slowly nodded.

"Mhm."

"Okay, so right now, we are not going to go out because I have one more thing to figure out," I said and she nodded.

What was that one more thing?

Well, the true intentions of this attack. It just feels like we have all our attention at this attack that it might just be their plan all along.

Why would they do such a big thing and sacrifice many just for a mere distraction?

Things are more complicated than I think they were.

I looked back at the screen and saw Natsumi-san and Iwaguchi-san already there stoppingthe hoard of vampires while the noble was nowhere to be seen. Searching him at the other screen, I noticed that the second floor and the third floor were also breached. So he is responsible for breaching through all the doors. They are really well coordinated.

After breaching through each door, he is letting in the vampires and making sure that he gets to the next one as soon as possible. Till now, no other noble had entered the building and the one who was in the building was doing all the work of breaching the door.

"Ai, how many vampires are in the building right now?" I asked her and she closed her eyes and started concentrating.

"Hundred and fifty-seven," she said.

"And how many were there in the beginning? Did you get a chance to sense them?" I asked her and she nodded.

"Yes, seven hundred and twenty-two," she said and I rubbed my forehead.

This is not even about seven hundred but more than that. They probably got more supporters. My eyes then fell on the screen one last time before I decide to go out and I looked at the nobles outside. Right in the middle was a noble with jet black hair and green eyes standing next to a female noble having long black hair and red eyes. Good thing these cameras were high definition so I could notice these features easily.

But I couldn’t see the other nobles properly from this angle.

"Akira," I called out and the noble appeared right next to Ai. "Take us to the upper tenth floor."

"Huh?" they both said in unison as to why I was asking that.

"Just do it," I said with a little more assertion.

"As you wish Kazuki-sama," Akira said while bowing down and the next thing I knew, I was in an unfamiliar room with a big desk and chair. The glass window was covering the entire back wall and I could see anything outside from here. Why did I choose the tenth floor though? Well…

"Natsumi-san, how is the situation there?" I asked through my intercom.

"They keep pouring in without any stop but it is nothing we cannot handle. Iwaguchi is also having a great time here," she said.

"Okay, I am going to distract the vampires a little so by that time go to the infirmary and research room and get something for me…"

I then explained to her everything I wanted her to do.

"Are you sure about this?" she asked me one last time.

"Yes, if it is what I think it is then this is the man’s real intentions. He never cared about the existence of VEO, to begin with, and do you have any information on the vampire Akira talked about?" I asked her.

"We actually do and I remember it perfectly, Dominic Garcia, also known as Father by some vampires has only come under our radar in Japan only twice and it was after a team was done with their missions and after his sighting, they never came back," she explained. "It was approximated that he was more than seven hundred years old."

"How did you approximate that?"

"I remember this because both the teams were of special class hunters and they had taken care of several nobles more than six hundred years old but even we know that even as a noble, a vampire’s ability take a big leap when they get even older but we don’t know more about than that," Natsumi-san said.

"I see. Okay then, I am sure we are spotted by now so please get that done for me, and will talk to you later," I said.

"Wait, what do you mean by spotted? Where the hell are you?" Natsumi-san asked.

"Upper tenth floor."

Before she could say anything, I cut the connection and looked at the window, and stepped back. The reason why I chose this floor was that I went through all the floors today thanks to James allowing me to do that I noticed something. All the windows here were bulletproof and really hard to break but for some reason, the ones on the tenth floor were not.

It was because the tenth floor had not been in use for really long for a reason James could not tell me so this floor was completely sealed off and if you enter the building from here, there was no way to get to the other floors from here since there were no stairs in this building and the elevator never stopped on this floor.

It was honestly hard for me to believe but I just decide to go with his words.

Crack

The window cracked and two vampires entered the room. They both had their eyes glowing bright red and they had the same facial appearance. The only thing that sets them apart was their hair. While one had yellow hair, the other one had green.

"You guys have really bad taste in hair, honestly," both I and Ai said in unison.

"Hey, don’t talk about our hair like that!"
