Chapter 493 A Possibility
Vampiric Power: 50,000.
It didn't matter if it was Matthew, Alice, or Isla; all three were in shock when they saw the shocking number.
Isla couldn't believe it, so much so that she abruptly moved the vampire ball to deactivate it and activated it again, thinking it was faulty. But the number that floated above it was exactly the same as before.
'Impossible.' She thought.
Until a few hours ago, she had just over 20,000 Power. How could that number now have reached 50,000? She hadn't even done anything strange these last few hours, had she?
Matthew's eyes sparkled. Evidently, this had to be connected to the fact that she was immortal and that it had been revealed just now.
'I remember when I first met her, her healing capacity was even less than mine, and when we became a Bloody Couple, her healing capacity also increased quite a bit. That progressive change in her healing reached an apex when we first had sex, which makes me think that every drastic change in her life further unlocks her immortality.
But now, a drastic change occurred when several conditions had been met. Losing an arm caused her immortality to fully awaken.'
'This, in turn, had to have caused her dormant power to awaken, didn't it? Her increased power must be about it, but it's not enough to be immortal by vampiric standards. Maybe her power is just beginning to awaken? Or is she just different?'
Although Matthew had noticed several things, this triggered a flurry of new questions. 'It's a bit annoying and troublesome, but at least that should be able to explain it.' he thought.
Isla was still in shock when Matthew patted her on the head. "That's amazing, Isla. Not only did you awaken your immortality, but it seems to have come with amazing rewards. I'm amazed." He spoke.
Alice then reacted, grabbing Isla's hands. "That's great, Isla! With this, your ability will surely be able to affect very powerful people." Even she seemed more excited than Isla herself.
And it made sense; Isla couldn't believe it.
At least for now, for she had never experienced something as good as increasing her power like that.
Matthew decided to give her time to process it so they could talk about the rest.
"I came here with the idea of looking for the Forbidden Library. Now that I know where it is, let's go find Gray Allen and the rest. We must structure the city from now on and be aware of the time of entry." He said, stepping ahead of them.
Alice quickly caught up with him.
"Matt, didn't that guy hurt you before? I can see you're hurt from before." She said, speaking low so as not to worry Isla.
She even lowered her head in apology. "Sorry, I'm not strong enough to stand before him."
Matthew was surprised and looked at her. "I'm fine, don't worry. These are wounds that will heal quickly."
"...Matthew Dietrich... Indeed, that last name is scary." Egon said and looked at his daughter.
"Have you had contact with him?"
Cecily frowned slightly and looked back at him, understanding that he meant it in another way. She shook her head. "No. I just did some research."
"Oh? With Jack Allen?"
"Yeah, I bought some information from him. Matthew Dietrich killed one of my subordinates."
Egon and Cynfael frowned and looked at each other. "Who?"
"Hanna White, a little minion, nothing more."
"Oh, right. Emma Lewis destroyed the Whites. Something to do with him?"
Cecily nodded. "Before Matthew and Alice's disappearance a few years ago at the border, Becker's underlings came to me asking Hanna to assassinate him. I guess the enmity was born there."
"Tsk, the Beckers lately only know how to cause trouble." Egon complained but looked at his daughter again.
"Never mind that subject. What did you get on the investigation?" he asked.
Cecily looked at him, annoyed. "Why should I say so? It's research I can use to my advantage. When did I say I would help you with whatever you want?"
"It's about race, Cecily."
"Forget about race. If you cared about race, you wouldn't do what you do."
Suddenly, a heavy aura swept through the surroundings, making breathing hard. Some sparks seemed to fly between father and daughter, prompting Charles to throw his hat in the air to disperse it.
"Well, my uncle and I cannot tolerate this behavior within our Mansion, so please behave yourselves. We are not in a children's competition." He said, causing Cecily to turn her gaze away.
Egon sighed and spoke again.
"Matthew Dietrich has already grown to the point where he could get out of our control before long. We all saw him perform. He even seems to have said that he had recently fought that pair of Twins but was still unharmed. We can all see that he is powerful and a great strategist, something that hasn't been seen in millions of years."
"If the Vampire Prosperity Organization has had him in their sights for some time, and now they seem to want to move into the vicinity of the Dark Kingdom, it means they know things. These guys are stubborn; they won't openly say everything they know, so we must investigate for ourselves. On this occasion, you have the advantage, Cecily; why don't you share?"
His manner of speaking annoyed Cecily, but she ultimately said nothing. She also had obligations to fulfill to her clan, so she sighed.
