“Monroe, I’ve made the appointment for you. When you meet Brower, as long as you don’t use Blood Qi, there won’t be any trouble. And you, Mr. Jiang, I advise you to keep a low profile when you meet our Blood Clan Leader. If you act like last night, you might not make it out of this building,” Count Smithan warned.
Monroe nodded, while Jiang Chen remained noncommittal.
The two exited the car and took the elevator directly to the top floor of the building. Generally, members of the blood clan preferred to stay hidden during the day due to their fear of sunlight. However, if one’s cultivation was sufficient or if they possessed certain treasures, they could venture out without fear of the sun. Although Monroe was young, her high bloodline set her apart from ordinary clan members. Additionally, she wore a bracelet made of cold jade that protected her from sunlight.
“Mr. Jiang, I hope you take my warning to heart. Please tone down your arrogance when we meet Chief Brower; he also understands Huaxia Language,” Monroe said.
“If he is a sensible person, I can sit down and have a good chat with him. But if he is not, then there’s no need to be polite. Monroe, if I were to kill your Clan Leader, you wouldn’t be angry, would you?” Jiang Chen replied with a smile.
Monroe’s eyes widened as she turned to look at Jiang Chen.
“Don’t get ahead of yourself; you can’t possibly kill him. You should pray that he doesn’t kill you instead,” Monroe said lightly. Although she secretly wished for Brower’s demise, she knew that someone like Jiang Chen, a young martial artist, stood no chance against him.
Ding!
The elevator reached the top floor.
Jiang Chen and Monroe ended their conversation and exited the elevator. Monroe led Jiang Chen to the reception area where a young white woman in an OL uniform sat; she was Brower’s secretary and also a member of the blood clan.
Monroe exchanged the blood clan's secret code with her before stating their purpose. The secretary then called Brower’s office and led Jiang Chen and Monroe to meet him.
At that moment, Brower was seated in his spacious office, handling paperwork. As the Blood Clan Leader, he was quite busy every day seeking benefits for his fellow clan members. For centuries, the blood clan had remained hidden in the shadows and unrecognized by society; this was still true today. Therefore, Brower had to maintain multiple identities as many in the clan did.
To remain youthful indefinitely, members of the blood clan needed to consume blood regularly—both animal and human blood were options. However, they rejected animal blood because prolonged consumption could lead to their bloodlines becoming beast-like. Thus, they continued relying on human blood for eternal youth. Of course, in modern society, they couldn’t just murder people for blood; Brower had established a private hospital where they could feed on blood from the hospital's blood bank.
As Monroe and Jiang Chen entered the office, Brower looked up from behind his desk.
Monroe dared not meet his gaze and quickly lowered her head.
Jiang Chen walked into Brower's office as if he were returning home—casual and relaxed in demeanor.
Jiang Chen’s demeanor caught Brower’s attention.
“What brings you here?” Brower asked with a faint smile. Count Smithan had only mentioned that someone from Huaxia Martial Arts wanted to meet but hadn’t specified why; if he had known Jiang Chen came on behalf of the Divine Bone Order, Brower likely wouldn’t have agreed to meet at all.
“I’m here to make a deal with you. I’ve heard that the Divine Bone Order is within your blood clan. I want to know what conditions would lead your clan to part with it,” Jiang Chen stated directly.
