“I have a slush fund! None!”

Psylocke was dumbfounded when she saw me mentioning slush funds.

“Yes, there is!”

“Where is it?”

When I took out the terminal and opened the map, a blue force field in the shape of a map appeared above the terminal.

The entire map of Magusfall appeared after touching it for a moment.

“Here, here, here.”

“…Isn’t it just one place?”

“Master. What idiot would hide slush funds in one place?”

“….”

When his gaze fell on Eslok, he quickly averted his gaze.

“Is there one each in the North, East, and South?”

“The northern part may have already been robbed. Chris.”

“No, you don’t know what.”

Psylocke waved both hands and vehemently denied Lillian’s words.

“The elders and the association do not know that I have become a member of the master’s household. There is no reason for them to touch my slush fund.”

The mission of the sixth branch leader, Psylocke, is to falsely surrender to me.

He periodically gathers useful information by my side, and betrays us during surprise attacks by the elder and second tribe leader.

That was roughly what it was about.

But now that Psylocke has become one of my subjects, the position has become the opposite.

Only the information that suits your taste can be handed over to Lidocaine, and there is even a hidden card that ensures that Psylocke will not betray you in an emergency situation.

“….”

Plus, Psylocke seems very happy to be part of my household.

Even though I was a vampire, I felt burdened by the fact that my complexion and physique had improved to that extent.

Should I say that it feels like I can’t control the overflowing power? Since a while ago, it hasn’t stayed still for a moment and has been moving around.

“Well, let’s give up the slush fund in the north for now.”

“Yes?!”

Psylocke looked like she was wondering what that meant.

On the other hand, Eslok, Lillian, and Leia were showing an obedient attitude to my words.

“The northern part is their backyard. What if something goes wrong?”

Eslok’s slush fund was also located in the north.

But Psylocke didn’t know that part, so she decided not to mention it.

Unlike back then, my wallet is more generous now. It was better to avoid unnecessary risks.

“Or you could send your men separately to retrieve it. How about it?”

“…Okay. I will do that.”

It seemed that Psylocke did not want to give up the North’s slush fund.

Well, since the 6th tribe said they would recover it, I decided not to worry about their slush fund.

“Silvia, Lund. Can I take this guy right away?”

“…I feel like I was brought into the living room too easily.”

“What about Lund?”

“….”

Lund seemed hesitant to answer.

I guess I agree with Sylvia’s opinion to some extent.

However, I clearly mentioned that Psylocke could not harm me as long as she was a member of my family.

“If that’s the case, I’m glad.”

For now, Sylvia seemed to understand.

“Hey, just follow you!”

Psylocke stopped moving in confusion and lowered her head at my words.

Sylvia’s Bar, Blue Heart Office, and my home.

While heading to the hideout where everything was, I asked Psylocke something I was curious about.

“So who told you to do this?”

“…Are you talking about a fake surrender?”

“Okay, what else is there?”

“It was the elder’s instructions.”

Laia was right. Because it was said that it was more likely that the elder gave the order rather than the second tribe leader.

“Then what is the size of your sixth tribe now?”

“In total, there are a little over 40 people.”

The sixth tribe consists of a tribe leader-level vampire and 40 other vampires.

It was certainly an attractive force, but it was heartbreaking to think that this force would betray itself at a critical moment.

No, now you have to worry about the Lidocaine guys, not me, right?

***

We returned to the hideout from the meeting place.

There were three of us when we left, but there were four of us including Psylocke when we came.

When we entered the bar located on the first floor, the bartenders welcomed us.

Johnny, Eslok and Lillian, and finally Lina.

Although Laia was not the bartender, she was still waiting for our arrival.

“…Chris. Is this guy by any chance?”

“This is Psylocke! Hey, you know who this is without me telling you, right?”

“Yes! Of course.”

There was no need to mention the modifier, “the deputy leader of the second tribe.”

Following Leia, Eslok and Lillian, who were in the Bar’s captaincy, also seemed to have discovered Psylocke.

“…?”

Of course, I don’t think I recognize him as Psylocke because his appearance has changed since he became one of my subjects.

“This is Psylocke!”

While smiling at the two people, he personally introduced Psylocke, who became the fifth member of his family.

“…is this man?”

“Yeah, maybe it’s because of my blood or something has changed, right?”

“Chris. It seems a little out of level.”

No sooner had he finished speaking than Lillian next to Eslok opened her mouth.

‘It definitely brightened the overall mood.’

“Well, anyway, everyone gather around.”

While Sylvia and Lund were busy with their own work, I called the vampires together.

Of course, except for Scylla and the general.

“Okay, I’m only going to explain this once, so listen carefully.”

Not only has Psylocke become one of my subjects, but I also plan to retrieve her slush fund.

He also explained that they plan to recover slush funds from the eastern and southern regions first.

“…Chris?”

“Why?”

In response to Laia’s question, he pointed to her and asked back.

“Do you really need to retrieve this man’s slush fund?”

“….”

I was a bit surprised to hear that it was none other than Laia.

“Lia, you! It’s nice to be elegant and aristocratic, but do you know that your cost of living is quite high?!”

“Chris. But that’s the bare minimum…”

Before Laia could finish speaking, I snapped.

It would be difficult to judge him based on the standards of a vampire noble.

“ugh.”

Even though it wasn’t particularly painful, it seemed like it was painful.

“Oh, wait. Come to think of it, Laia doesn’t have a slush fund?”

“Chris! I am different from the two people here now.”

“Chris, he’s not that special.”

Lillian immediately responded to Laia’s answer.

If you are a branch leader of the Lidocaine Association, you have accumulated an average amount of wealth.

Even without Laia mentioning the second tribe leader, a strange war of nerves was going on between the two women.

“Now, now. Okay, so you both stop.”

“Yes.”

“….”

Fortunately, they both listened to me very well.

“Okay, now let’s work with this guy to retrieve the southern slush fund first. Got it?”

“What should we do with the slush fund in the East, Chris?”

“Well, for now, let’s just think about the southern slush fund. Let’s think about the eastern part later.”

“Okay.”

Eslok didn’t say anything, just talked about what was necessary.

Meanwhile, Psylocke seemed to have gained a muscular body.

It doesn’t mean much since vampires can change their true form, but I thought it meant that they had become more alive.

“Hey, please guide the three people here. That way, you too can find your slush fund. Do you understand?”

“Yes! I will keep this in mind!”

A guy who was somewhat gloomy and seemed like he was plotting something behind the scenes.

But now, he was giving off the same vibe as a hot-blooded character you might only see in comics.

***

“Three people is enough, right?”

I wasn’t just asking about recovering slush funds.

The question is whether they can handle Psylocke if she does something suspicious along the way.

Eslok responded immediately, and Laia followed suit.

A slush fund recovery party consisting of two former tribe leaders, one former deputy leader, and one former tribe member.

“Yes, that’s enough.”

“Then can we leave right away?”

Laia’s answer and Eslok’s answer, who wants to move right away.

“Yes! Ah, indeed. Should I lend you this?”

I asked Eslok while showing him the Mimic wallet.

Come to think of it, it was one of the gifts I received from Ray.

If slush funds could be placed in a wallet close to subspace, the probability of success would greatly increase.

None of the four expressed any particular disagreement.

“Now, stay still.”

I woke up the Mimic Wallet and made it recognize the four people in front of me… no, three people.

By briefly allowing others to open their wallets other than mine.

After handing Eslok the Mimic wallet, the four vampires left the bar.

“Lina! Where did Sylvia go?”

After sitting in the captain’s chair and checking it out, I decided to go straight to find Sylvia.

“Director? I think I went to the office on the second floor.”

“Really?”

I took the elevator straight up and went up to the second floor.

How happy I am that the entire 3-story building is owned by our office.

I just hoped Lund wouldn’t ask for anything in return for this help.

Ding dong!

Three people dressed up as soon as they arrived on the second floor with the alarm sound.

I was able to see Sylvia, Johnny, and David.

“What is it? Where are you going without me?”

“Ah, Chris. It’s not like that.”

“Then?”

“They wanted to meet us here at the security office on Grove Avenue for a moment.”

“Well, it’s a meeting so to speak.”

Wow, have they already contacted us?

“Should I prepare quickly?”

“Oh, it’s okay if Chris doesn’t go.”

“Huh?”

When asked where they would go without me, I answered no!

“Why?!”

“Chris is our hidden card. I don’t really want to show it to them.”

Ah, is that your intention?

It was an understandable reason for them not to want to give even the slightest information about me, the strongest force in our office.

“Hmm. okay. But does the director there also want to come down?”

“Well, I don’t know that.”

David responded to my small curiosity by saying that he had no choice but to see it for himself.

In the meantime, I wondered what would happen if they ignored us.

Because like Cabrini Green’s Jenny, she wasn’t an acquaintance of Sylvia’s.

“Then what about taking Lund?”

“It wouldn’t be a bad idea to have the president of the Tetracaine Association accompany us. This is telling us outright that the Tetracaine Association is behind us.”

“Of course, isn’t it? Just wait a moment!”

They moved to have Lund accompany them.

First, I went down to the bar on the first floor. Fortunately, I was able to find Lund taking up a seat in the form of a wolf in a corner of a quiet bar.

“Lund! Lund!”

Damn it, damn it! I only thought of the same title in my mind.

There was no need to go against Lund’s wishes in making a request.

***

“What, what’s going on?”

“Silvia is scheduled to meet with the security maintenance office here…”

“I don’t like it.”

“What, you haven’t heard everything yet!”

“It’s obvious even if you don’t listen. Should I even do something like that?”

“It would be great if you did!”

Lund responded by slightly turning his head to avoid my gaze.

At the sound of the conversation between me and Lund, Sila and the general, who had been hidden by Lund’s fur, appeared.

“Sila! General!”

I quickly shouted out their names.

There was no need to tell Silas and the general the reason. I immediately transformed into a baby bat and attacked Lund.

“These guys! Get away!”

Lund began shaking the white dire wolf’s body.

“Ugh!”

Scylla was the first to fly away with a scream.

Still, it appears that the cat landed safely due to its unique sense of balance.

What’s left is just me and the general. However, Sila charged at Lund again, making the score two to three.

“Even if I tell you to stop!”

“….”

I didn’t respond to Lund’s words.

Instead, he was making eye contact with the general, who looked like a giant water general.

The general shook the front part of his body as if he was asking for my permission.

Nodding, I moved my head up and down, and the general finally stuck his pointed mouth into Lund’s body.

“…!”

“Go, general!”

Immediately, stinging digestive juices were injected into Lund’s body through the general’s mouth.

“Kaaak!!!”

Lund was startled by the sudden pain and started twisting his body around.

“General, stop now. Lund, what are you going to do? Are you going to go?!”

“….”

What? When Lund did not respond right away, he glanced at the general again.

Phew!

There was the sound of something hitting Lund’s flesh again.

“Got it! Okay!”

“General, stop now!”

“Kaaak!”

Despite my restraint, the general once again used digestive juice to suck Lund’s blood.

In the end, I returned to my true self and personally removed the general from Lund’s body.

The general seemed to be trying to suck my blood as if he was disappointed that his mouth had lost its direction.

“Uh-huh, write it! You can’t do that!”

When I urged him, the general shook his body back and forth. As if passively protesting?

“Now, Lund. Hurry and go to the second floor. Everyone will be waiting.”

“….”

Lund looked as if he would never forget today’s humiliation.

***

Anyway, the sight of the Chairman losing to me, Silas, and the general was very sweet.

“Chris, what are you doing?”

Ray, who happened to be heading to the meeting place with Psylocke, approached us and asked.

“Ah, I had to persuade Lund for a moment.”

“Mr. Lund?”

“Silvia… Oh, that’s not it. The security office here said they would like to see our office for a moment. But now, I think the picture will be a little better if Lund is standing behind me.”

“Aha.”

Ray seemed to understand my intentions and opinions.

“Now that I think about it, there is no news from your office?”

“Ah, I think Ilseong said something similar.”

“Then is Ildong’s office next for us? Or are we next after everyone?”

As we were talking about the two offices, one thing suddenly occurred to me.

What kind of people are the fixer-upper office that manages Grove Avenue here?

It didn’t seem like a bad idea to take Grove Avenue away from them. It seems like a small place for our two offices to operate.

Less than an hour later, two pieces of news arrived.

One was that Laia directly called my terminal.

On the other hand, I was able to hear from Sylvia the results of the meeting with the public security office.

I heard it all while drinking mango juice with Ray!
