"Monroe, I've made an 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. Although Monroe was young, her advanced bloodline set her apart from ordinary blood 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 temper your arrogance a bit. Chief Brower also understands Huaxia Language," Monroe said.
"If he is someone who knows the times, I can sit down and have a good chat with him. But if he is oblivious to the situation, then there's no need to be polite. Monroe, if I were to kill your Clan Leader, I hope you wouldn't be upset," Jiang Chen replied with a smile.
Monroe's eyes widened in surprise as she turned to look at him.
"Don't get ahead of yourself; you can't 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 office uniform sat—Brower's secretary and also a member of the blood clan.
Monroe exchanged the blood clan's secret signal with her before explaining 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 each day working for the welfare of his fellow clan members. For centuries, the blood clan had hidden in the shadows without recognition from the outside world, and that remained true today. Therefore, Brower had to maintain multiple identities; many within the blood clan did as well.
To maintain eternal youth, 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 would lead to beast-like traits in their bloodlines. Thus, they continued relying on human blood for their longevity. Of course, in modern society, they couldn't simply kill people for blood; hence Brower established private hospitals where they could draw from blood banks for sustenance.
As Monroe and Jiang Chen entered Brower's office, he looked up from his desk at them.
Monroe dared not meet his gaze and quickly lowered her head.
Jiang Chen walked into Brower's office as if returning home—casual and relaxed in demeanor.
Jiang Chen's attitude 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 wished to meet without specifying further details; had he known that Jiang Chen came on behalf of the Divine Bone Order, he 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 allow your clan to part with it," Jiang Chen stated directly.
