"I want you to order flowers for Grace Baker. Write her a romantic note!" Anderson ordered Vincent to return after a meeting with military officials. Vincent frowned for a moment. The shock had not yet disappeared because Anderson had started selling proposals for cooperation with the military. Now, he remembered Grace, too.
"Dave!" Anderson scolded Vincent, who was a little lost in thought. Vincent gasped, then turned his head.
"I will do it." Vincent casually agreed to please Anderson. Anderson smiled while Vincent looked out of the car.
"By the way, you haven't about Grace Baker. What she likes." Anderson interrupted Vincent's thoughts about Grace.
"She's just most of a girl. It's simple and doesn't do much," Vincent explained nonchalantly. He didn't like it when Anderson asked questions about Grace. Either he was jealous or because of his boss's aggressiveness and dangerous attitude.
"Then it will be easier for me, right?" Anderson started a co
"Dave, where is the university?"It felt so cold that Vincent stuck his head into the car window next to him. The pause was long enough to make Anderson frown. Finally, Grace saved him."I'm still at Columbia University, Dave? Do you forget?" Grace was scolded suddenly."Ah, yes. What I mean is, Columbia!" Vincent said, looking back slightly. Grace smiled slightly, then nodded. She knew that Vincent was lying to his boss. It's just that Grace doesn't know to what extent."Oh, so you studied there?" Anderson turned his attention back to Grace. Grace nodded politely. She didn't seem to want to look at Anderson for too long."May I know what major you have?" Anderson probed again."Uhm... biogenetics," Grace answered briefly. Anderson's eyebrows rose simultaneously. She swirled ideas about Grace's proper position in Horus in his head. It felt like David, his assistant, was right."Wow, you will be a scientist, right?""Something like that, sir.""Just call me Anderson." Anderson interrup
When the sharp question hit him, Zach took a deep breath. He smiled a mysterious smile as if he were teasing Mike."Do you think you have the same name as me, Detective? If everyone with the same name gets the same accusation, it will be very troublesome for the police," Zach quipped gently."Just answer my question, Father. Are you the one named Zachary Silva?" He saw through the deception."No.""Zachary Silva is the billionaire the owner of the Emerald Tower in the centre of Manhattan. I've looked for him, and he's mysterious. The similarity is that he bought a pair of limited edition gloves from a well-known boutique and gave them to Vincent Cox, who lives with you." Mike explained everything again calmly without meaning to offend, even though that was what he did."I can explain that. I did give Vincent a pair of branded gloves. But it was a donation from the church. We accept various donations of second-hand clothing and jackets, including sh
"Where's Kyron?" Vincent started to panic. Zach looked all over the house for the baby, but it wasn't there."He is with Sister Anna. Earlier, I told her to look after Kyron and give him milk while I talked to them," said Zach with excuses."What!" Vincent half-screamed. He started to get annoyed, then turned around and left the house."Vince! Vincent, where are you going?" shouted Mike as he followed Vincent out. Zach also followed out by following the back road."I want to find my son!" Vincent replied in an annoyed tone."Where?" Vincent stood in front of his house and looked right and left. He took a deep breath to see if there was Kyron's smell around the house."Did the nun kidnap him?" Jake said it to Mike, and Vincent heard it."Maybe,"Vincent shook his head at Jake and Mike. He was sure that Sister Anna was not a criminal."I have to look for him!" Vincent then ran down the street looking for his baby. Mike sno
Vincent asked Grace to come with him briefly before he talked to Mike and Jake. He wanted to keep an eye on Kyron, so he chose to speak in the park."What do you want to talk about?" said Grace when Vincent took her to a corner of the park. Mike watched from the corner of his eye while Zach sat near Kyron playing."About Anderson Silva." Grace immediately fell silent as she looked at Vincent."I think he's targeting you." Vincent continued in a low voice."What!" Grace gasped in surprise. Vincent continued to stare at Grace, then took a deep breath."I didn't mean to scare you. Anderson really isn't a guy who's comfortable being around unless you have different feelings." Vincent tries to find out if Grace might have feelings for Anderson. Grace then grinned with a strange chuckle."Sorry, but your boss scares me," Grace admitted quietly. Vincent squeezed out a smile but held it back. At least he knew that Grace didn't have any feelings for Anderson. That's a good start."Didn't you l
"Vincent, we have to check Kyron and confirm the antivirus." Mike continues to persuade Vincent. He had been shaking his head and started to get annoyed."Do not force me!" said Vincent, half growling."What are you afraid of?""If this is proven, people will target my son.""What if not? You have to make sure of it; otherwise, you will forever be haunted by anxiety. Kyron will be targeted." Vincent fell silent, looking at the police sharply.They had returned to Vincent's house, but the conversation about Kyron was unsolved. Vincent took a deep breath while thinking. He must be able to take advantage of what happens."Okay, but I have terms," said Vincent, putting forward conditions."How many?""some,""Pick them!" Mike confirmed. Vincent thought a little, then let out a long sigh."Three." Mike glared at Vincent, who seemed to be using the situation well."Spill them!""First, take me off the wanted list and clear my name. I need your recommendation to adopt Kyron legally," said Vi
"Vince, I don't want you to regret it. If Kyron is the cure, I hope you will recover with Kyron's help." Vincent turned to Zach, who was looking at him."But what if it's dangerous? I don't want to lose Kyron," Vincent replied in an increasingly sad and low voice."You mean you're afraid you'll bite him and turn him into a vampire?" Zach guessed, sounding like he was teasing. Vincent took a deep breath, then turned to him."Don't you ever worry that that could happen to Kyron, Father?""Every day, I worry about the same thing. When you can't control your thirst, you end up harming Kyron. Now, you can still deal with it by buying blood." Vincent raised both eyebrows at the same time."How do you know?""I found a blood bag in the trash can out front. You sure are very careless, son!" Vincent only to lower his head as if he were being scolded."I know you need blood, but I don't want to harm other people by biting your victim. At first, I was annoyed and angry, but then I understood," c
Only this time, Vincent hated sleeping. He had had nightmares a few times. It would be strange if a vampire woke up but still felt dizzy like a human due to a lack of sleep."You look messed up," Zach said as he put bread on a plate for Vincent. Zach is feeding Kyron in his baby chair."What's wrong with my face?" Vincent asked in response. He did become a bit weak after waking up."Paller like a tissue." Vincent took a deep breath, then rubbed his face with both hands."I need blood." Vincent groaned involuntarily. He only realized this a few seconds later after Zach and Kyron, who were eating, stared at him. Vincent looked down and cleared his throat softly."Be careful when you talk like that in front of Kyron and other people," warned Zach. Vincent nodded, then took his fork and touched his food without appetite."Where do you get blood?" Zach asked while feeding Kyron, who was punching his table happily."In a clinic in Brooklyn,
Slowly, Vincent felt a shiver run down his spine when Anderson Silva spoke about human instinct. Moreover, he gave him a goosebump mischievous smirk."What do you mean, sir?" said Vincent worriedly.Anderson looked back at the view of New York in front of him. Everything looks calm because no noise from the outside. Anderson only stared in silence for a few minutes before speaking."Now you know that Horus Tech is a biochemical weapons development company, not a chip device for security devices. So I think if you decide to get your back away from me, I have to finish you off, Dave," said Anderson in a low tone, threatening Vincent. Vincent listened quietly. It wasn't the threat that worried him, but Horus' secret that had been revealed."Years ago, Horus developed a virus to form an invincible super army. They almost succeeded and tested it on a group of police."Vincent slightly widened his eyes when he heard this. He had indeed listened to the co
