RE:BORN Zombie

Chapter 94 Who Is The Master

“Me…” Vince was about to say something, but was cut off.

“Vince, was it?”

“Yes, Sir.” He responded, with an unknown level of respect he didn’t plan for.

‘What? He’s now a sir?’ Everybody else thought. Seeing as the supposed vampire became so respectful, the earlier worries of the other three reduced. They knew Crow was strong, but against a vampire, they didn’t have much confidence that Crow could win. Though, that matter had been alleviated now.

Seeing the sudden respect, Victor just ignored it and continued. “If you have a way to get out of this city, maybe I’ll listen to you again.” Victor said. “Surely you do, after all, you did enter here by yourself.”

“Yes, I can. I can create teleportation circles to take us to, our base?” He asked as though not completely sure he wanted to say the words. Victor had not agreed to follow him yet, so taking him to their base was kind of…

“That’s not possible, there is someone or something blocking off the space within the city.”

“Yes, but my power works a bit differently, more like from a mystic source, so it is not affected.” Vince replied.

“Oh?” ‘So that’s how he got in? Neat, that’ll work.’ “Alright, I’ll see this boss of yours, and if she has something good to offer, maybe I’ll consider it.” Victor said.

“That is great.” The overbearing middle aged respectable man that sat on the head seat was no where to be found as Vince almost curled himself in the seat and answered diligently the questions Victor asked.

“Also, I will like to meet this other Crow you spoke of.” Victor said, as he stood up and motioned for Vince to get along with whatever he needed to do, as he was sure there would be some preparations or something.

Caught a little off guard, Vince stopped before he began doing what he was about to do, “Sir, that might…” Cut off again, he really didn’t have much he could do.

“Make it happen. Now be fast.” Victor said with finality before turning to the other three. “Well..”

Mark was a bit shaken, maybe because he had been standing still for some time. “Well, Crow. Will we still be seeing you?” He asked.

‘That’s what he’s worried about? Well, I do understand why though.’ Having connections with someone as legendary as Crow was not something anyone would want to forego so easily, but then again these guys couldn’t do shit either way. ‘Maybe if I do need something, they can help. Their relationship is not all that useless.’ Victor thought to himself.

“If I do need something in the future, I will definitely remember you guys.” Victor said. Of course, he ended up not having much time with the head of the Beechmon family, but that was ok.

As Victor turned, he saw that Vince was already standing within a slightly glowing circle that resembled a magic circle, if it wasn’t. He stepped in, and with the words, “Let’s go.” They disappeared into nothingness together with the circle, before the eyes of the three men.

…

“Fuck…” Bryce Exclaimed as he fell on a seat.

The moment Victor and Vince left, the three of them felt like a huge weight had been lifted from their shoulders. The former pressure and tension in the room had disappeared immediately, and they all heaved a sigh of relief. It was quite certain where they stood in the power scale, and they now knew to be more cautious if nothing else. From the man who they had mistaken to be a vampire to the one who was respected by a vampire… they certainly had seen enough for the day.

“I will be taking my leave. After this experience, I think I need to go back and rest.” Arnold Beechmon, the head of the Beechmon family said. He had taken a seat himself to maybe help calm himself, and it seemed to have help.

As he stood up to leave, Mark spoke, “remember, word of what happened here should not fall on just any ears.” Mark’s voice carried a serious undertone as he said this. Fortunately, Arnold need not be told about such a matter. He was never planning to let it fall on unwanted ears. If the Crow came for his and his entire family’s heads, they wouldn’t be able to do anything and would probably disappear in a single night. Arnold believed Crow to be that capable.

With a nod and words of affirmation, Mark sent him off, “Farewell, go safely. It’s a busy night.”

“Here we are, sir.” Vince said, as he and Victor appeared in another place entirely different from Mark’s office, not unexpectedly.

p??-??-. “Drop the sir.” Victor said. Suddenly having such a honorific attached to his name-

“Yes, si- Alright.” Vince replied. “We are now outside my master’s place, please, follow me inside.” Vince said, before Victor gestured for him to take the lead.

They were currently in a very dense forest that seemed to have no openings to let one see the sky. The place was naturally very dark as it was currently night time, but Victor was sure that it wouldn’t change much even though it was daytime. Seeing such an environment with such terrain, Victor was curious to see what kind of creature Vince’s master was. He had exposed that his master was female, so Victor was led to think along the lines of an Elf-

‘No need to overanalyze what I haven’t seen. For now, let’s just go with the flow.’ Victor said in his mind as they approached a dimly lit area. After that section, stood an enormous house. The size of the house was very big indeed, and Victor was sure it was something he had only seen vampire families have. Though it was back on earth that he saw it on television, he had come to know that some of his knowledge about monsters and supernatural creatures from earth were viable here, so at least he now had an idea of what to expect.

‘I wonder how vampires are like.’ Victor thought.

When they got to the door, Vince went forward and opened the door Victor to enter, as even from outside, Victor could spot a very fashionable and beautiful interior. He might have become a zombie, but that didn’t mean he didn’t appreciate beauty.

Victor was about to say something, as he felt the beauty of the house brought a good start to his experience in the house, but then, someone had to come spoil the positive mood.

Before the double doors that led into the house could fully swing open, someone from within held them from opening any further, then a man resembling a cow came out of the house through the door before shutting it behind him. It was more appropriate to say that this was a cow person? Or something similar. It reminded Victor of the minotaur he fought in the dungeon, but this one was more human looking.

“Hey Vince, what is this pest you have brought with you. Why do you treat it with such res-” Unfortunately for this cow looking creature, he wouldn’t be opportuned to know who Victor was at the moment, as before he finished his sentence, he slumped and collapsed on the ground.

Vince must have panicked a bit, but after seeing that the thing was still breathing and nothing seemed to be wrong, he just wearily looked at Victor before opening the door once again and inviting Victor in. Vince took a glance back at the thing now lying on the floor outside, and as Victor went further in, he signaled for the maids to take care of it.

He must have thought that Victor just put the cow like creature to sleep, and was grateful that Victor showed such mercy.

“Please, allow me to inform my master of your arrival. She must be sleeping by now.” Vince said before he disappeared. Victor didn’t do much, as he suspected that Vince’s master didn’t account for him to be able to overpower Vince, so she wouldn’t have thought of him as one with much importance. Victor explored the house while waiting for Vince or his master, not afraid to get lost within the castle of a house. If he didn’t have the map in his system, he had already placed his teleportation mark on the house, so getting lost wasn’t something he would worry about.
