Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!

Chapter 105: She is dead?

'If he doesn't look as powerful as Philip, it means Philip has at least 15 thousand, or it could even be 20 thousand power...' Matt thought, trying to analyze the situation.

Fighting Philip would be suicide. He could do something about the assassins around him if he used all his assassination tactics, including his freezing curse, so he wasn't worried about them.

The problem was that his head was already buzzing, and his pain was becoming unbearable, so he wouldn't be able to use his icy curse for too long.

'It should be a hasty and quick attack, taking them by surprise... I don't think he'll manage to murder anyone, but escaping won't be a problem.' He thought.

Still, his thoughts were suddenly interrupted when he saw a beautiful little lady carried away by the man who had just appeared.

'Isla!' He thought in shock.

Then Philip laughed, "Hahaha, Matthew Dietrich, I was originally planning to kidnap the three of you, but I didn't think you were so cunning and figured it out. Yet, you were still naive, thinking we were just trying to lure you." He said mockingly.

Though he shrugged, "Still, it's unfortunate that we failed to capture our two targets and only have a waste that only serves as bait." He said with slight annoyance, though he smiled again at the end.

"Well, at least we already have one of our targets." He said, staring at Matt.

Philip looked at Matt and Isla for a moment and thought that these two seemed to have some relationship, so he smiled.

"Matthew Dietrich, we're not demons, so I'll let you hear your girl's last words." He said, reaching up to remove whatever was covering Isla's mouth.

She had been looking at Matt with a look of desperation, so as soon as she felt she could speak, she immediately screamed.

"MATT, RUN AWAY! THEY'RE TOO POWERFUL!" Her shout was heard by everyone present and caused Philip to give her a powerful slap that made her spit blood and lifted her from the impact.

In an instant, Philip unleashed a mighty blow towards her and hit her squarely in the stomach.

"Buagh!" All her orifices spurted blood in that instant, and her body shot backward until it hit a huge wall there.

"A small tool, when it completes its usefulness, is no longer useful." He said softly after doing this and turned to look at Matt.

"Well, you heard her last words; how are you feeling, Matthew Dietrich?" Philip asked teasingly, causing Matt to stare at him.

Philip was surprised to see that Matt didn't have an angry look or anything like that. He didn't even look desperate.

'What the hell is wrong with this guy? Is he made of ice or what?' he wondered in shock.

Naturally, however, Matt was a little worried about Isla.

'...That punch had to have seriously injured her, or she might even be dead... And with that speed shown, even I would have a hard time reacting... That's 20,000 Power, no doubt about it. It could be more.' Matt thought.

He looked at Isla from afar; she had fallen on the ground and was face down, bleeding steadily.

He could not confirm her condition from so far away and with so many powers surrounding him.

But she wasn't moving.

Once she fell there, she may have been in an unconscious state.

Perhaps dead.

Still, Matt had a plan.

That's why he looked at Philip.

"Philip Baker, I'm already in your hands, so I guess you're going to kill me. Can I ask you a question first?" Matt spoke as he looked at him.

His posture had numerous openings, and anyone present could see it.

That stance, so full of openings and where he could be killed in a single blow, made many realize that he had indeed given up.

Philip shrugged and nodded at him, "Kid, I don't want to kill you. Join us. You have incredible skills, but you're not an Heir. Do you know how valuable you are? You are so valuable to us that, if you decide to join, you would be our Young Leader, isn't that great?

Let me tell you one thing, Matthew Dietrich: My leaders want you; they can give you exalted status; why don't you come?" Said Philip Baker as he spread his arms wide, looking magnanimous.

His manner of speaking regarding the leaders showed that these men were of highly high standing.

Matt frowned as he heard this. He didn't expect it to be like this.

'An organization... If it was only assassins, it wouldn't be a problem to join such a place for research, but the working code is disgusting. Besides, if I were to join them, the Allens would be my enemies, the vampire clans are powerful and this organization works in a disgusting way, so it makes them the enemies of the clans...' Matt thought.

In a world he doesn't know, he has to weigh the pros and cons whenever an opportunity like this comes his way. But if joining an organization means betraying the race he belongs to, it means it's an unethical organization.

And while it's rare for an assassin to talk about ethics, Matt has his own ethics and would never choose to belong to an organization where there are people with shitty ethics that run so counter to his own.

Besides, his vision as a living being is that he will never betray, just because he was betrayed, although he will take revenge on those who betrayed him.

When he realized that, he smiled.

"What will happen if I refuse?" Matt asked. He had already realized that this guy wouldn't let him ask his first question, so moving on to another one was better to speed things up.

"You will die, Matthew. Your story will be over so soon that no one will ever remember you." Philip replied.

And Matt smiled a little.

"I am not here to have my story remembered, but if I can make my name reach all the ends of the earth, I will do so while maintaining the ethics that have characterized me. While I am not one to talk about ethics, the crimes you commit make me think you are repulsive." Matt said, staring at Philip Baker, who sighed slightly upon hearing this.

"Philip Baker, if you send your useless entourages, many will die. So why don't you come up front? If I'm going to die, I at least want to see what our power difference is." Matt said.

His words came through loud and clear.
