Matt frowned as he heard this and opened the first scroll the King had bestowed upon him.
As soon as he opened it, he frowned.
A familiar name appeared before him again.
'Philip Baker... So, this is research about the traitors who turned to that organization...' Matt thought.
He was confident if it was a fact-finding mission, so he didn't need to consider much about it. Besides, if they gave him leads and people on the ground to use, everything would be easier.
But the situation was different this time.
The City of Clans was not just any city.
'He says there are at least two people as powerful as him... I don't know how powerful he might be, but I'm sure his power is far greater than Reagan Cooper's power.'
If he remembered correctly, the director mentioned to him that Vampire Clans tend to have powerful people with over 30,000 power, and back then, he saw more than three vampires flying.
So, maybe that power is not too far-fetched.
More importantly, when he met Sophia Murphy, a young girl still a student, he felt she was more powerful than Reagan Cooper himself.
'If she is so young and so powerful, perhaps it is attributed to her heritage, but then this King, who has been ruling for hundreds of years, maybe he is one of those legendary people who have a power of over 40,000.'
'Encountering such a powerful person like him in that City is more dangerous than facing four Philip Baker. So, the situation is different and very dangerous for me if there are two that powerful.'
The other two are weaker than Philip Baker but hold noble titles or high positions in the government.
If he only had to investigate people like that with the help of Reagan Cooper and other powerful people, he was confident of succeeding.
It was at that moment that Matt opened the other scroll, the one that mentioned the clues they had.
When he saw it, his eyes twinkled slightly.
'This won't be that complicated.' He thought as he saw this and smiled.
The status given to him was tremendous, but the mission seemed to be very dangerous. Still, they gave him such good clues and material to investigate those clues; how could he not accept?
Besides, the material to investigate the clues came in a format he wanted to understand: the encryption used by that organization.
That's why he smiled and looked at the King.
"If it is as you say, I will accept the mission and the rank you want to bestow on me." Matt replied.
The King then smiled and then laughed, "Hahahaha, good. Matthew Dietrich, under bloody oath, this Dark King grants you the thirteenth token of a Bloody Vampire General. As of today, you belong to this exalted group. All that this rank entails will be explained to you later."
"Now, for your current accomplishments at such a young age, I will take the trouble to add one star to your rank, so you will be a 1-Star Bloody Vampire General, boasting an incredible status, which puts you on equal footing with any General in the Army of the Five Kingdoms." Said the King and brought out a splendid uniform.
At the same time, he brought out a star to adorn the collar, which was a prized distinction for any General.
This star was unique, made of a tough and beautiful material.
Still, the fact that this star was to adorn the neck of a Vampire Academy freshman shocked everyone, including Matt himself.
