Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!

Chapter 96: The one behind the scenes?



"Let's investigate the whole mansion to confirm several things. We can't last long in this place; that organization already took it over, and they are possibly investigating it, trying to find the basement." Matt said and got up to take the lead in the investigation.

After they had investigated a large portion of the mansion, different rooms, and stuff, they headed out, but Matt stopped them, signaling them to be quiet.

At that instant, footsteps were heard, and Matt pulled the girls quickly into hiding.

"Someone's coming..." Matt said but frowned.

'These footsteps?' He thought, trying to remember where he had heard them.

As a good high-level assassin, he usually remembered the body odor, way of walking, voice, and how people he encountered fought.

Everybody is different, and every walk is different; they emit a different sound depending on height, weight, and other things. So, when he heard this person's walk, he felt that he had felt it before.

It's just that maybe it had been for a brief moment because he didn't remember it correctly.

And the smell...

It was barely faintly visible, as it seemed to be hidden with something.

'It's that cloak hiding it... But it's a man.' Matt thought as he looked at a person walking towards the mansion.

He was wearing an utterly dark cloak that concealed him, and the black robes he wore under his cloak made it very hard to see him.

Miss Assassin, who was standing behind Matt, frowned.

"He's..." She said softly. The voice was so soft that it would be surprising if anyone besides Matt heard it, but that was a grave mistake.

Matt immediately moved to cover her mouth, but it seemed to be too late.

"Who is?" shouted the man walking towards the mansion, as he turned and launched a powerful attack behind him, right where he had heard the voice.

Matt was startled by this, so he immediately pulled Isla and Miss Assassin, who were prone to receiving that attack and hugged them lightly, covering both of their mouths.

*BOOOM*

The attack hit hard right where the two of them had been and went right past them until it hit a wall.

'No one?' the man thought doubtfully as he continued to look around.

Although the house hadn't been abandoned for long, the undergrowth hadn't been trimmed in a while, so he thought it had simply been a small animal passing by.

So, he turned and walked away.

Matt then sighed in relief; still, out of the corner of his eye, he saw something 'red' on the face of one of the two girls he had pulled, which surprised him.

'Blood?' He thought, thinking of the possibility that she had been hit.

So, he moved his eyes to her and was surprised.

'Red hair?' He thought in shock.

Alice's hair was white, as pure as milk, while Isla's was chestnut. His own hair was more or less black, so he quickly dismissed those three hairs and lowered his face slightly.

Miss Assassin was staring in shock at the man who had just entered the mansion and hadn't noticed that her beautiful red hair had been left slightly visible to Matt.

Still, she soon felt Matt staring at her, so she frowned and just then saw a small tuft of hair extending in front of her face.

That startled her slightly, so she immediately tucked her hair back under the hood and stood up carefully but quickly.

Matt didn't pay much attention to this, though he was still wondering... 'Red hair? Maybe it's not uncommon in the vampire world, but this is the first time I've seen it, and I seem to have read something in some books regarding that hair.' He thought, though he didn't reveal it.

He simply led Alice and Isla out of the mansion, and soon, they could approach the city again. They walked in silence to walk faster, but once here, Miss Assassin looked at them and apologized sincerely.

"I'm sorry, that was my mistake. I'll make it up to you later." She spoke. She was a girl who knew how to own up to her mistakes.

Matt looked at her for a moment and nodded.

"You seem to recognize him; who is him?" he asked.

And she nodded a little...

"I think that man is one of the guild masters. His vampiric power reminds me of them." She replied, and Matt frowned.

"Philip Baker?" he asked, and she grimaced a little, not knowing how to answer.

"That's hard to say." She replied, causing Matt to look at her.

"Why? I've never met the other two guild masters, and I felt him was familiar, too." He replied, and she nodded.

"Even if you run into them, you may not notice unless all three are together. The three guild masters of this branch are triplets. There is almost no difference whatsoever in their appearances, which is why, although I know it's one of them, I don't know which one it is.

Still, I have a way to find out, so I want to say goodbye; while you guys go to that mansion, I'll go investigate in another direction to find out who it is." She replied.

All the information she had given him in one fell swoop made Matt feel his head hurt.

'Triplets... How troublesome. I've never in my life seen vampire triplets.' Matt thought, feeling it was very troubling.

'Although triplets shouldn't have the same body odor. In humans, it was different.' He thought and groaned internally.

'The things I have to check pile up, how annoying.' He thought and nodded to the woman.

"Alright, we'll go investigate in that mansion. If you find anything, let us know." He replied, and she nodded.

"It could take several days, so stay well during that time." She replied, and after entering the city from the same place they left, she went to another location while Matt, Alice, and Isla headed to the mansion in the main part of the city.
