Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!

Chapter 228: Ava Thompson (2)

As they walked toward the city's central neighborhoods, Matt noticed that the woman leading them had not let her guard down in the slightest, even though she was walking in the rain.

She was a cautious and capable woman.

'Her tender beauty is only a deception. This woman is more dangerous than many powerful people I have encountered. And to think she can keep her guard so firm despite the circumstances.' Matt was surprised. Still, he said and did nothing. He followed her, and soon, they entered a mansion.

Thanks to Ava leading them, they met no opposition. No one even saw them, so soon, they were all in one giant room.

Abyl, Matt, and Alice were taken to Ava's private room, and even the mansion was stripped of people, although most vampires could camouflage themselves slightly.

Once there, they began to talk.

The first part was telling her about what happened with Abyl. She was a party to everything, so Ava had to start believing, and the second part was Matt's main plan.

"Although the plan sounds far-fetched for you, since you are human, granting you status in vampire territory is much better than having it in this place. Humans are strong, but not in their wildest dreams could they do anything to us." Matt replied and looked out the window. There was no sun because it was night and raining, but he would bring that up.

"That sun magic you have been creating is great, but didn't you see us being in today? That sun you want to depend on is really no good against us. Sooner or later, you will fall. Besides, humans can't live as long as vampires. No matter how you look at it, it totally benefits you."

Ava sighed after hearing this. "Does it benefit me? You want to change my race, and even though it's too tempting... You think it's an easy decision to make?"

"That's right, it's not that hard to make when it involves your life or death." Matt smiled a little, saying this, and she sighed.

The main issue was that she didn't have the ability, on her own, to do anything.

The people under her command weren't that powerful; even though she had some strong figures, they weren't here, and even if they were, the other side had too many strong vampires.

Among those women, she even managed to spot one person slightly known among the higher class, Mrs. Gales. She simply had no room to turn him down.

That made her sigh.

"You... You are capable. I never thought the vampire race had such an amazing person. They've been hiding you so well, and we thought we had the upper hand, what with that new Lady appearing out of nowhere and our Princess... Sigh, how gullible we were." She smiled after saying this. It wasn't a smirk or anything similar.

It was a smile of pity.

Just when they seemed to be grabbing the upper hand against the vampires, the vampires came out and showed a card they couldn't match.

It was too pitiful for them.

Still, she had her doubts as to what Matt was.

"Your ability is nothing like the ability of the Heirs of the Vampire Race. I don't know why it reminds me of those fearsome existences of the past." She said suddenly, glancing at Matt to see if he would act in any way that would allow her to see anything else.

Still, she didn't need to.

Matt knew what she wanted to find out and was willing to reveal it to her.

"Well, my name is Matthew Dietrich." He replied.

Ava then felt her body shudder, and she stared at him. Once again, she didn't know what to say or how to react. She could only lower her head in thought.

That surname instilled respect and fear in any race. Perhaps the ones it instilled the least fear in were the vampire race itself because they never experienced what it meant to live in the shadow of such a surname.

Whether they are humans, elves, dragons, or any other race, they continue to live under an absolute shadow left by a bearer of that surname. No matter how much Ava thought the eras were different, the reality was that she was facing a person who claimed to bear a great surname.

'...Even if we have a person with a worthy surname... This man is to be feared. Being a Dietrich and still able to do something as incredible as turning humans into vampires in such a simple way, how could he have nothing to do with it?' She was plunged into her deep thoughts as she tried to think through the pros and cons of the situation.

Matt's idea was to use her family's status and wealth to set up some secret organizations here. She didn't understand the reasoning behind that, but considering they are vampires, it may be for a bigger plot.

All of that was extremely dangerous, but if what he said was true, she would keep her abilities after the transformation. Being an assassin, it would be extremely difficult for someone to see through her.

So, she wasn't against the idea.

But that would be betraying her own race.

Would anyone feel right doing something like that?

Despite that, she is not someone who would look out for the welfare of the race.

'...Although it would embarrass my parents on the other side, saving my life and the lives of those close to me is important...' She thought and looked up.

"I accept it. But we must be alone when you go to do it. I don't want other people to do something else in a moment of weakness for me." She replied, and Matt smiled softly.

"I have no problem at all. You must tell me how many people, women, will be turned into vampires as well. It might take some time, but in a few days, it would be ready."

"That's 20 women. All with over 10,000 power. They're talented women; some are a little older now, but they're strong."

Matt stood up and nodded to her. "We can start with you," he replied, then looked at Alice and Abyl.

"You can go outside; leave me alone with Miss Ava."

They nodded after this and turned to leave. Somehow, Abyl was happy this time. She looked radiant, despite the fact that a while ago, she was running from certain death.

Maybe it was because her best friend would join her or because she saw hope for her to survive; only she understood right now.

After both left, Matt and Ava were left alone in the room.
