#Episode 93
“To the point. Yes, that’s right.”
The man took his wallet out of his pocket and handed me a business card.
It was written like this.
‘Lazarus Blood.’
And underneath it was a cell phone number. What caught my eye was the design of this business card.
It was just a harmonious blend of black and red, with the name in the middle and the number in the center of the back.
It’s very simple, yet sophisticated.
“Since you have come into contact with the Freemasons, I believe you will know about our existence. I should have greeted you earlier, but it is a little late.”
The man smiled and held out his hand.
“I am Lazarus Blood, who leads the vampires of Europe.”
He held her hand.
“This is Qin Shihou.”
“I have been looking forward to meeting you personally.”
“Oh, really?”
“yes.”
After letting go of each other’s hands, they closed their mouths for a moment.
The song I was hearing outside was really nice. It sounded a bit like a country song.
“I guess you like what I say.”
“Yeah, well, it’s not bad.”
The main point hasn’t been made yet.
A handsome black-haired Western man who had been staring at me opened his mouth.
“I would like to make a deal.”
“Deal?”
“I heard that the Freemasons imprison the apostles and draw their blood.”
I know they tried to hide it, but those who should know know. To be exact, they can’t help but know. It makes even less sense if they don’t know.
“I also want to build a factory for the Illuminati. As you know, I am a vampire, and the blood of the apostles is different from that of ordinary people.”
I had a rough idea. If these guys, who had been quiet until now, were to approach me, then of course they would want something, and if they were vampires, there was a high chance that what they wanted would be blood.
But is it really necessary to do that?
As I was thinking that, Lazarus opened his mouth.
“I believe you came here after hearing that there are seven apostles in Mykonos. Is that correct?”
He nodded.
“Actually, there are not seven.”
“Not seven?”
“Yes, there are three more. There are ten apostles in total in Mykonos.”
He looked at Lazarus with strange eyes.
“The Freemasons’ information power is definitely excellent. The Salvation Guild of Jin Song-i, the unique awakened person and older sister of Jin Shi-hoo, also has excellent information power. I know that they are capturing Santiago Munez, the president of the World Awakened Association, and obtaining information from him, but that is very limited.”
“Keep going.”
“This is Europe. Not America or Asia.”
Lazarus, a smile spreads across his handsome face.
“I have all the information on the European side. To be honest, we have no intention of rejecting Mr. Jin Shi-hoo’s move to deal with the apostles. We also want to build a blood factory, but if Mr. Jin Shi-hoo says he doesn’t want it, we won’t build it. No way.”
“Because there’s no need to pretend?”
“Yes.”
“But you don’t plan on giving away the information about the apostles’ locations for free?”
At this point Lazarus shook his head.
He picks up his watch and types something.
Thump, thump, thump.
As soon as he put his hand down as if he was finished with his busy work, my watch vibrated.
I checked it right away.
And then, I was a little surprised.
“Here are the locations of all the apostles we have identified, including those in England, France, and Spain. Some are hidden, but it shouldn’t take long to find them.”
It was just as Lazarus said.
It was a map, coordinates, and photos.
There were quite a lot of sheep, and when I roughly counted them, there were thirty-nine.
That is, there are a total of thirty-nine apostles in Europe.
Lazarus gave me the exact locations of thirty-five of them, excluding four that were unidentified.
I looked at Lazarus with a slightly surprised expression.
“You look like you don’t understand.”
“Do you understand?”
Lazarus blinked and then burst into laughter.
“It’s funny. A strong person like you should be arrogant, but you’re too polite.”
“okay?”
“Yes, it suits you better now. Feel free to speak.”
He looked at Lazarus blankly and asked.
“Why are you cooperating with me like this?”
“Because we don’t look favorably on the apostles either.”
“okay?”
“Yes, I don’t want to live without causing any big problems. Do you know why Helena of Freemasonry first created Freemasonry?”

I didn’t know the details until then.
When I talked to her, Helena didn’t say anything like that.
“To control and protect the vampires that follow them.”
“protect?”
“Yes, vampires are definitely a different species from humans. They also have different powers. You can tell just by looking at the fact that all the vampires that appear in the media are monsters.”
“You guys have a lot of money. Can’t you manipulate it and do that?”
“I don’t want to limit the imagination of the public. Imagination is free, and that’s what sells. It hasn’t been a problem so far, but now that the system has come into being, people probably won’t welcome our presence.”
That’s true.
“That’s why we need to control and protect ourselves. Not the humans, but our vampires. I never intended to lead an organization called the Illuminati.”
I listened silently with my arms crossed.
“But I couldn’t just sit by and watch other vampires cause trouble, so I led the Illuminati and brought together the vampires of Europe. My mindset when I first created the group and my mindset now haven’t changed. That’s why I hate the Apostles.”
Why do the apostles hate it?
“You don’t seem to know much about this. What is there to hide? The Illuminati has been providing food, clothing, and shelter to the apostles in Europe.”
The space between the eyebrows narrows slightly.
“offer?”
“Don’t get me wrong, it was because of threats.”
“Keep going.”
“The Apostles demanded cooperation. If they did not cooperate, they would kill the vampires.”
“I heard Asura made a pact?”
“That agreement was made by Asura, not with the other elders.”
Lazarus put his hand to his forehead.
“Do you know why, with the exception of four of the European apostles, all of them are still in Europe?”
“I don’t know.”
“Because they think I’ll hide them.”
“… … .”
“They hold the lives of my subordinates, my colleagues, my children in their hands. That’s why I’m cooperating.”
It was interesting.
Believe it or not, it’s up to you personally, but for now, I believe Lazarus’ words.
At least his eyes were clear.
It wasn’t the one who lied.
“You want to make a blood factory?”
“Yes. I believe it was with your permission that the Freemasons created the blood factory. So I would like to ask your permission. Can I do it?”
I ended up laughing hysterically.
“Make it. But it won’t be free.”
“Of course. Isn’t there a Korean proverb that says, “If you like free stuff, you’ll go bald.”
“I guess you don’t like free stuff because you have so much hair on your head.”
“If you pick up anything and eat it, it’s bound to cause trouble.”
He was a man who spoke quite well.
“Let’s sort out the apostles first and then talk again.”
Just then the car stopped. Lazarus opened the door himself, went out, and opened the door for me.
It was too kind of me, but I didn’t just refuse. I’m used to this kind of thing.
As we got out of the car in silence, Lazarus asked.
“I guess you’re familiar with it.”
“what?”
“I’m being treated well.”
He smiled faintly.
“Good job. You have a good eye.”
“You are too kind.”
Lazarus turned around. This was the beach.
Lazarus pointed with his hand to a village on the other side of the beach.
“That is Cora, the capital of Mykonos Island. It is commonly called Mykonos Town, and the ten apostles reside there.”
I stared blankly at Lazarus. He noticed the meaning of my wink and smiled slightly.
“There is a place called the Mayan Pub in Hora. I will call the apostles there.”
“I like it.”
“You are too kind to compliment me this time.”
I shook my head. I’m serious. I really like this Lazarus in front of me.
He handles his work with a cool attitude and has a cool personality. He quickly figures out what I want and then takes action.
The reason why I rate the man named Yoon Young-soo highly is because of his speed in getting things done and his loyalty to his sister, but Lazarus far surpassed Yoon Young-soo’s.
‘If a kid like this betrays you later, it’ll be a pain in the ass.’
Lazarus, who is quick-witted, is probably vaguely reading my thoughts right now. That must be why he is smiling so gently.
Then Lazarus taps the watch.
However, something doesn’t seem to be going as planned. Lazarus’s brow furrowed as he tapped his watch.
It seems like he’s angry, but it also seems like he’s not.
The sound of typing continued for a while.
After about five minutes, Lazarus sighed and lowered his hands.
“……sorry.”
“why?”
“I could only summon nine out of ten.”
I was curious as to why. Lazarus continued.
“I heard she went to meet the second apostle. Her name is Tia Sullivan, her real name is Athena.”
Tia Sullivan.
The name of one of the three apostles who were said to have gone missing. But Athena?
“That’s a name I know.”
“Probably not only Mr. Jin Shi-hoo, but most people in the world will know. At least, there is no one who does not know Greek and Roman mythology. Yes, that is Athena.”
I thought it was something like that.
No matter what the name is, it’s none of my business. In the end, it still doesn’t change the fact that I’m going to kill you.
“I asked her why she had gone to see me and where she was now. But she was reluctant to answer. Tia Sullivan is an apostle who moves regardless of whether it is the West or the East. I guess.”
“What do you think you’re up to?”
“Yes, and.”
Lazarus looked around for a moment. Then he put the coat he was carrying on his shoulders over me and spoke in a small voice.
“I think we need to move quickly. All the apostles in Europe, we need to deal with them in at least 5 hours.”
“What if I can’t do it?”
“… … They will run away. To Asia or wherever. And then the retaliation will begin. We have to deal with them until they can’t even breathe. Is that okay?”
“I don’t care, but what is this coat?”
“This coat is not a normal coat. It is a coat made of artifacts. Its exact name is ‘Basilisk’s Coat’. Its grade is unique. It has only one effect, but based on that effect alone, I choose this artifact as the best artifact in the world.”
“What is that?”
“It’s face recognition disorder.”
