Chapter 153: The Real Recruiter. A familiar face.

"You... What are you doing here? And those clothes... You... Have you betrayed the Vampire World?" growled Alice angrily as she realized they were wearing the clothes of this organization.

They were Alice's classmates. Although they don't often talk, they tend to respect her when they are at the academy.

Maria Becker, not so much, as she also belongs to a Vampire Clan and feels jealous of her, but also doesn't dare to mess with her.

Realizing this, Alice was angry.

Emma didn't know how to respond, as she was somewhat close to Alice, though she was never honest with her.

But Maria simply scoffed.

"Heh, betray the Vampire World? We've simply taken another path, Alice Allen. Don't think your family knows everything, and don't think you know everything about the world." She replied, and Alice glared at her.

"An organization that dares to make passes at enemies and use them to murder its own people, what is it, if not a traitor to the vampire world?" She asked angrily.

The two in front of her answered nothing.

They didn't need to.

They unleashed their powers and drew their weapons.

"Alice Allen, since you're here, there's nothing we can do. At the academy, we respect you, but here, you're just a frog at the bottom of the well trying to think you're wise. So, along with that waste next to you, it's time for you to go to hell."

The power coming out of their bodies made Matt frown.

'They're so much stronger than me.' He thought, frowning.

Especially the woman named Maria; the feeling of her body was slightly terrifying.

Still, Alice simply swung her sword to disperse this strange aura.

"Matt, how many people are left in the mansion?" she asked as she looked at the two women.

Matt looked at her, "One only. The one who spoke a moment ago is outside fighting and is the strongest man present. From Philip Baker, I hear he has 20,000 power."

Alice nodded, "How strong is the one left inside?" He asked.

"I don't know. I don't think he's very powerful, but I can't figure out where he is."

That made Alice frown.

When he finally reached the basement, he was stunned by what he saw.

There were numerous corpses here from one side to the other; some were stuffed in tubes filled with some strange liquid, and others were lying on the floor.

None were active.

'Looks like a modern-day scientific research facility.' Matt thought after arriving here and looked around.

In a moment, he could count over 200 corpses; if he counted the ones outside, it would possibly be over 400, which would be a blessing for the Bloody Herb.

Then Matt realized why these guys wanted it. 'I see; this is why they want the Bloody Herb. With so many corpses available, the amount of real blood they could create would help them massively.'

Still, now there was doubt about what was controlling them. The drug served to kill them slowly and unnoticed, but to control them would require necromancer magic.

Matt turned to the side with doubt towards the center of the room.

A small stone slab rose slightly there. At the top was a strange grayish pearl with a yellowish tint covered by a grayish aura, unique and intense.

Matt's eyes sparkled as soon as he saw it.

'Necromancer's Magic! Besides, it's a very high-level one,' he thought and ran over there.

This was a great treasure. Even on earth, to get a Pearl capable of containing Magic as powerful as Necromancer's, it cost him a lifetime. And when he finally found it, it was almost destroyed.

But this was one in excellent condition.

Still, before he could reach it, he stopped abruptly, and a man appeared from behind the pearl, staring at him.

"Mr. Becker." Matt spoke.

The man smiled slightly at him, walked over to the pearl that was very close to him, and took it in his hand.

"Mr. Becker is the way I'm known outside, at the academy, Matthew Dietrich. Here, you can call me The Recruiter." His haughty manner and arrogance in tone were almost palpable.

Moreover, his body made an incredible resonance with this pearl.

"Heh, so you're the real Recruiter." Matt replied mockingly.

At the same time, he saw all the corpses around him rise as the man in front of him moved the pearl.

'...Pearl controller. He has excellent compatibility with it besides.'' He thought.
