She turned to the detective. "You heard that, right? If we can prevent the second restock, we will be able to stop people from taking it."
"That means we can stop 0101 project altogether." He replied.
"No. The two of you can not stop it." The driver suddenly said.
"What?"
"A code is needed in order to stop the delivery and the factory, but only Mamon knows it."
"What? Does that mean the factory won't operate without Mamon?" Zuriña asked.
"Yeah, that's what he was going for. Seizing all the power."
"It's fine, right? I have told you everything I know, so please let me go."
"Okay. I forgive you for the things you said." Zuriña said and ran her claws on the tape, cutting it loose.
"Thank you." She said as took to her heels and Zuriña sped over to grab her neck.
"I didn't say I forgave you for the kidnapping."
The driver shivered and she buried her claws into her spine and the driver dropped to her knees, before dissipating.
"Detective since we already know the location, let's barge our way in there." She said.
He shook his head. "That would be nice, but it won't do."
"Why? Isn't that the most effective way?"
"Even if we made it pass the security, Mamon would have been long gone by then."
"Then that means we have to find another way back in."
He smiled. "No, we're going to walk in confidently."
"How?"
"We're going to act like couples."
Her jaw dropped and she blinked. "Couples?"
He nodded. "Yeah, we'll disguise ourselves as couples. Photoshopping the picture on social media will be easy. We just need to act well in front of Mamon."
Then like what he did earlier, did she have to call the detective honey in front of Mamon?
Act like lovers with him. This was crazy.
She turned to there back and made the sign of the cross as she paced up and down.
"What's wrong? Is your heart acting up again?"
"No, it's not that..." She swallowed and turned to him. "Do we have to act? I mean, we can kill him the moment we walk right in."
Kaiwan folded his arms with a frown. "We still have to get information from him, remember?"
"The code." She muttered. She definitely couldn't do this.
"My acting skills are terrible. What if we get caught right away?"
He slowly neared her and she took shaky steps back. "By any chance, have you not dated before?"
"Dating?" She asked.
"You can just think back to those times. So what are you worried about?"
That was the problem. She'd not been in a relationship before so she didn't know how to act like she was in one.
"What about you? Why are you this confident?"
He shrugged. "Well, I'm used to it."
Used to it? So he had dated before.
Mamon moan faded as he felt the hands on his back loose its' strength from the massage. "Try harder. I know you're not this weak of a vampire."
"Forgive me sir." Sharon bowed and he hissed as he sat up.
"Enough."
He said and beckoned on Sandra to hand over the pills which he took.
"Oh, are you taking the pills?" Amanda asked, as she walked into the room.
"Yeah."
She sat beside him to massage his shoulders."Why do you take it even though you're a vampire?"
He laughed. "Aren't you curious?What will happen if a vampire takes a pill that turns humans into vampires? I carried out an experiment and the results were wonderful."
"What were the results?" Amanda seemed curious.
"I didn't expect it. But the power increased by ten times. And the end of today, two-third of 0101 project will be completed. Now, I can finally take a break...Bring them in."
"Yes,sir." Sophie bowed and the doors to his apartment opened and the couple's trooped in,tied up as usual.
"Oh, the quality looks rather good today." He smiled as Sophie handed over a tablet to him.
"Where are we?"
"Aren't those people vampires?" The lady beside Zuriña asked.
"Zuriña, you need to stay alert." Kaiwan whispered.
According to their plan, they had sneaked in with the rest of the other couple's under disguise.
"I can't believe I'm doing this." She sighed.
"I sent all the information to your phone." Sophie told him.
"Okay, so this is today's menu, huh? Look all these pictures, you guys are all over each other. Who should I pick?....Ah this one. We took photos to commemorate your engagement. Let the couple come out."
"That's us." Someone cried.
"Zuriña, it's time. Do it now." He whispered.
"You're telling me to do that? I can't." She whispered in turn. They had planned she was going to divert attention to them by causing a scene.
"We don't have time to waste."
"Ho...ney."She drawled.
"Hurry."
Darn. She was just going to give it a shot anyway.
"Honey." She screamed as she jumped to wrap her bound arms around Kaiwan, who was too shocked to do a thing. "If you get hurt, I'll kill myself. I'll kill everyone here and turn this place into a bloodbath."
"A bloodbath, isn't that too harsh?" He whispered.
"If anyone lays their hands on you, I'll rip out their hearts, babe...I just can't live without you."
"What's up with those lunatics?" Mamon asked and Sophie handed him their information.
"It's this couple."
It was working.
Mamon read out from the tablet. "It was a homestay experience in our one month vacation at Denver. If I'm with my darling, I can survive even if I'm in a vampires den..." He scoffed and raised his eyes to them. "Other than the Denver couple, everyone else can leave."
"He fell for it even though it was sloppy." Kaiwan whispered.
"Don't normal couples do this?" She asked and he turned to look at her.
"They don't."
The other couples were led out leaving the trio in the room.
"Compared to other couples, I think you guys might be a bit different, so that's why I'm going to let you in on a secret...The vaccine you took in Denver is made with vampires blood. The faster you take it, the faster you'll turn into a vampire."
"What?" Kaiwan asked, his eyes widening and Mamon turned to pick two bottles of pills.
"These two bottles contain one pills each ,one white, one green. If you get the white one,you may leave this room. However, if you get the green..."
She wasn't expecting this. They were in trouble.
"I'll eat up your 'honey' right in front of you."
Kaiwan bit his lip. "This is insane...What do I do? We're in deep trouble."
"Now, pick."
He left her with no choice then. She sped over to punch him on the stomach and to their surprise, Mamon passed out.
Zuriña turned to Kaiwan, who was dumbfounded.
"I just hit him once." She said and he laughed as he walked over to pick up a pen knife on the table before he cut himself loose.
"Shall we?" He asked and she smiled as they burst down the door.
A fight broke out in the factory as the duo worked together against the girls before they proceeded to free the other couples. Kaiwan had already placed a call to Josh, who'd come over to pick up the couples.
Mamon didn't regain consciousness, until thirty minutes later even after they'd changed and the detective was left with no choice than to slap him out of unconsciousness.
"Hey, Mr. Pervert."
Mamon didn't stir awake until the third slap. "What's going on?"
Kaiwan shook his head. "Why is an angel of death so weak? I've never see an angel of death faint before."
His eyes widened. "You're the... pureblood." He said as his eyes moved to the detective.
"What's this? Did you guys disguise yourselves?"
He nodded. "Yeah, we did all these crazy things for you."
"But Detective, you looked like you were having the most fun." She laughed and kept a straight face a minute later.
"I'll tell you how to keep your life."
"What's it? Let's hear it." Mamon scoffed.
"I know that after today, the drug will be dispatched all over the country. And only you have the code to stop it, so just spill it out and let's end this." Kaiwan said.
"Did no one tell you about the other ingredient
in this drug?" Mamon asked as he rose to his feet.
"What?"
Zuriña's eyes narrowed as he reached for the chest of drawers nearby and pulled one of them, revealing more of the pills."It may be a drug that turns people into vampires,but it also makes a vampire more powerful. So what happens if a great angel of death like me takes it?" He asked as he gobbled down a handful.
"I've spent five years developing this drug." He was saying as a few of his muscles started swelling.
"What's happening?" Zuriña asked.
He laughed. "My physical abilities which have been amplified by more than hundred times, will not be beaten by a pureblood.Come on then, I'll destroy everything."
"You're too kind. I thought there was nowhere to hit, you gave me something to hit."
"You're still running your mouth. Let's see now."
Something moved past her before she could and she turned to see the detective land a huge punch on Mamon, shaking the entire factory to its' foundation.
"You said your pills amplified your strength. But you weren't able to take just a single hit. Are you sure your ingredients were correct?"
"You bastard." He made to launch an attack on him but she raced over to knock him down by plunging her claws through his body and he yelped in pain as he fell back.
"Tell me why the code is and I'll spare your life."
"Do you think I'm crazy?" He panted.
She tilted her head and his eyes widened in fright as she raised her hand.
"I'll just force it out of you then." She said and snapped her fingers. "Listen to me...tell me what the code is."
To her surprise, he wasn't attacked a mirage and Mamon burst into laughter. What was going on? She'd clearly hypnotized him, but why wasn't it working?
"Your abilities aren't working as you hoped. Do you know why that is?...It's because I'm under the protection of Master."
She frowned. "What?"
"Ah ah, Can you hear me?" The speaker in the room suddenly blared and she turned to look at it. "It's useless to shake off Mamon like that. The second order vehicles are already spread out."
The detective made to slip out his phone from his pocket when the person spoke. "And there's no use for Kaiwan to control the media with the polices' authority. I recommend you not to waste your energy."
Who was that? She couldn't hear him well because of the electronic sound.
Her powers were also blocked. It's the same as that time, back at the nursing home.
"Wait." She muttered. Her abilities weren't working because...
"I came here to see something. It would be such a shame if I went back now, so I decided to turn on the microphone. I thought about it everyday, so I wanted to see it again. Have you been doing well, Riña?"
Yiannais was around.
