She raised her head and said:
"That somewhat simple-minded human didn't lie to us."
Coco continued, "Miss, you let him overturn the warehouse like that. How are you going to face the client when they come to hold you accountable?"
Ludwig smiled: "Hmm? Coco, you still have the mind to care about that client?"
She placed the glass of hallucinogen on the table.
"Coco, clean up all the hallucinogens except for this one, then notify the Vampire Council and have them contact me immediately."
"What, young lady? You've decided to ascend the throne?"
"What are you thinking about, Coco? Don't make decisions for me without my permission!"
...
After seeing Ruo Keke off, Ludwig leaned back lazily and elegantly in her custom-made chair.
Her feet, which barely touched the ground, were covered in long black stockings and dangled slightly in the air, swaying gently with great interest.
Her toes occasionally touched the floor, while her excessively long silver hair draped over her shoulders and onto the armrests of the chair, with a few strands slipping down from time to time as she sat rather awkwardly.
"Humph."
She rested her cheek on her right hand, and her ruby-like eyes revealed a coldness that she would never normally let Ruo Keke see.
"I rarely get really angry unless some scoundrel really disappoints me."
She picked up the ten blood collection vouchers for high-quality blood from the table, folded them up, tore them apart, and threw them into the trash can next to her.
"We vampire mediators have always specialized in resolving social conflicts between humans and vampires. Hah..."
The girl yawned.
"As for how to handle it... besides acting as a peacemaker, it also includes 'dealing with the person who started the conflict'."
She picked up her ringing phone and pressed the answer button.
“I am Ludwig Yang. How should I address you, sir of the Vampire Council?”
...
...
A series of extremely impatient knocks sounded, and the moment Coco opened the door, the visitor rudely pushed it open and stepped into the foyer wearing leather shoes covered in mud.
"vampire!"
The newcomer was the client wearing sunglasses. As always, he was unfriendly and walked straight up to Ludwig.
"Based on the legal effect of the contract, we will collect a penalty of five million, as well as a full refund of all previously paid fees."
He took out a piece of paper and slammed it onto the table in front of Ludwig.
"You failed to protect our warehouse, and these huge losses, according to the contract, fall under the category of liquidated damages, which you shall bear."
Ludwig glanced at it and knew that the contract, including the conspicuous fingerprint, was entirely forged by the man in sunglasses.
It's likely that the man in sunglasses took her fingerprints without her knowledge, thus enabling him to forge this destructive contract.
"How come I remember that all the requests to this gentleman were just verbal agreements? I've never signed any contracts, have I?"
She picked up the contract, tore it up cleanly, and threw it into the trash can.
"Afraid of leaving evidence of some shady dealings, and also to lower my guard, he unilaterally made a verbal request, and then secretly forged a contract that never existed, so that he could extort a large sum of money after the request failed. He was really skilled at it."
The silver-haired girl sneered.
"Woman, you really won't shed a tear until you see the coffin!"
The man in sunglasses tried to grab her, but Ruo Keke, standing to the side, snapped and gripped his wrist tightly.
"Young Miss?" Ruo Keke asked, turning around.
Ludwig nodded to her, and Ruo Keke swept her leg and knocked the man in sunglasses down, pinning him to the ground in front of Ludwig.
"I'm sorry, I haven't slept in a coffin for decades. Seeing a coffin again makes me feel a little nostalgic."
Ludwig smiled, pursing her lips.
puff!
She stomped hard on the back of the man in sunglasses with her heel.
"Here, try it, is it good?"
She slowly poured a glass of scarlet liquid onto his face.
The man in sunglasses coughed violently, then roared in shock, "You...you actually know what these goods are?!"
drop!
The man in sunglasses pressed the call button in his pocket, and instantly several gangsters rushed in from outside the door, pulling out guns and aiming at Ludwig and Ruoke.
"You've learned things you shouldn't have known... Originally, paying compensation would have spared your lives, but now, none of you will live!"
...
"Oh?"
Ludwig ignored the several dark gun barrels in front of her, bent down, and gave a harmless smile.
"Oh dear, oh dear. I'm so scared. Do you treat other vampires this way too?"
The man in sunglasses said, "What do you mean?"
"Hmph. This hallucinogen is made by extracting blood from vampires and mixing it into special blood plasma. And this special blood plasma is the most common mass-produced blood plasma circulating on the market. It is the type that was formulated by the Vampire Council several years ago, produced by the well-known multinational corporation Spire Group, and exported all over the world, receiving high praise from vampires."
"The law explicitly prohibits the unauthorized counterfeiting or alteration of the formula for these blood plasma bags, as counterfeiters may pass off inferior products as high-quality ones, affecting the dietary needs of vampires. So where did the hundreds of tons of 'Ecstasy Blood Agent' in the warehouse come from?"
Ludwig pressed his head down, shoving him into the pool of hallucinogens on the ground, making his face come into "intimate contact" with the liquid.
"How many vampires have you killed to create this extremely dangerous blood serum?"
"If I expose these things, you 'business people' will have to pay more than just five million in compensation, you know?"
Unexpectedly, the man in sunglasses, perhaps under the influence of hallucinogens, burst into hysterical laughter.
"Hahahaha! Don't worry, the Spire Group won't do anything to us, and they might even... shut you up."
He shouted at the gangsters who were aiming their guns:
"As for why, you can figure that out after you're turned into Ecstasy Blood! Guys, shoot those two vampires!"
...
bang bang bang-
The moment the gunshot rang out, Ludwig curled the corners of her lips into a smile.
"【Stay here for now】."
In the blink of an eye, she appeared next to the handrail on the second floor.
"Human weapons are a hundred years too early to hurt me."
She yawned and waved her hand.
"Coco, get out of here."
The girl stretched and turned around to close the door, as if the thugs in the house didn't exist.
"Remember to clean it up, okay?"
Click.
...
When Coco saw that the gun barrels were all aimed at her again, she grabbed the man in sunglasses on the ground with amazing strength, spun around and threw him like a bowling ball, knocking two thugs away.
"You guys, not only do you not take off your shoes when you come in, but you also kick the shoes that were neatly arranged at the door all over the place."
When someone whose job is to clean floors is seen dirtying so much floor space in front of them, they can't hide the murderous glint in their eyes.
"Gentlemen, prepare to clean the floor with your clothes and tongues."
She took out the short stick, unfolded it in two, turning it into a long-handled metal rod without a sickle.
"The young lady said that no one should be killed, otherwise I will have to start cleaning up the bloodstains in the living room in thirty seconds."
boom!
A thug fired a shot at Coco because his hand was shaking.
Ding--!
With a mere flick of her wrist, she deflected the bullet with her weapon at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.
"Ah... monster, monster!" cried a thug who had never seen the world before.
For a high-ranking vampire like her, capturing the trajectory of a flying bullet and intercepting it is merely one of the most insignificant abilities.
"But even if it doesn't kill anyone, cleaning up some 'trash' in the living room won't take more than a minute."
The girl said coldly.
Chapter 15 Second Contact
Faced with the overwhelming power of the vampires, the thugs couldn't even last three moves against Ruo Keke.
Fearing they might indiscriminately fire their guns and damage the furniture and walls, Coco easily disarmed several burly men, pinned them to the ground, and tossed them out the door like bowling balls.
Bang!
“Since I said I’d use your faces and tongues to wipe the floor, I will never let you walk out standing up.”
puff!
She stood at the doorway, grabbed the man in sunglasses by the collar, and gently removed his sunglasses, revealing his terrified eyes behind them.
"Some vampires also like to hide their eyes..."
If Coco calmly crushed the sunglasses, pried open the man's mouth with one hand, and stuffed the plastic fragments, which looked like dust, into his mouth.
"...but not like you, in order to recklessly scrutinize others."
The girl swung her long-handled stick and swept it across the man in sunglasses' abdomen, sending him flying out the door, coughing up blood.
"Gurgle—"
...
Now, only one unharmed maid remains in the chaotic hall.
The girl patted the dust off her hands and silently recited:
"Fifty-two seconds. Too slow."
She glanced back at the scattered furniture around her, then saw the large pool of blood that the man in sunglasses had spat out when he was knocked away in the entryway. Her blood pressure instantly rose by several percentage points.
"hiss..."
"..."
"Calm down, Coco, calm down. You need to be mindful of maid etiquette, and also your mindset."
She took a deep breath, picked up the broom from the foyer, and prepared to sweep.
Suddenly, more footsteps came from outside the door.
"Could it be that these guys' accomplices have come to reinforce us?" Ruo Keke exclaimed in surprise.
She peeked out the door, her wariness slowly turning into surprise, and then into delight.
"Hey, Professor Torre!"
Standing at the entrance gate of the courtyard were several vampires dressed in exquisite ancient costumes. The man in the lead was slender and tall, with neat blond hair mixed with some silver strands. His dark red pupils were even more conspicuous in the gradually setting sun.
"Hmm, Coco, did you take care of all these guys?"
Torre glanced at the suit-clad thugs sprawled haphazardly in the courtyard and nodded approvingly.
“Well done, it saved my parliamentary executives from having to do it themselves.”
Just as the man in sunglasses raised his head, his mind still hazy as he tried to spit out the plastic fragments in his mouth, a vampire enforcer grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up.
"Ugh—cough cough cough?!"
