Chapter 674 - “Supplier” and “Intermediary”

Chapter 674 “Supplier” and “Intermediary”

The boss of the Bubblegum Gang, who was the short, bald old man whom Luke had killed first, had inherited some of his master’s habits. One of them was that he didn’t like surveillance.

This villa was their daily residence. They probably didn’t want to live under surveillance.

Walking closer to the villa, Luke narrowed his eyes at a pair of enormous stone sculptures at the entrance.

They were statues of two dogs!

Their ears were long, their mouths drooped, and they had horse-like faces. They looked very simple and honest.

These were bloodhounds, also known as St. Hubert hounds and one of the oldest hunting dogs.

It had an extremely developed sense of smell. It could even track a scent from two weeks ago, and over long distances. The record for the longest scent tracked was 220 kilometers.

It wasn’t a rare dog, but Luke had seen tattoos of this dog head quite a few times before.

Charlie Diaz, the head of the hunting club in Wolfkyle, Wolf Elsworth, and the twelve “customers” in the underground nest all had the same dog head tattoo.

They were all important members of the Bubblegum Gang. Putting the female vampire in the underground lair and the bloodhound together, Luke had some idea of what the dog head tattoo meant!

The Bubblegum Gang was a hunting dog that looked for fresh blood for the vampires!

Staring at the two statues for a moment, he stepped forward and opened the door.

Looking at the interior decor in the hall, he confirmed that Sasha’s gang was very rich.

In the living room, two dogs raised their heads lazily.

Luke sighed.

He had never killed needlessly, but the two statues outside were clearly based on these two dogs.

A moment later, the two dogs in the living room disappeared, and Luke went up the spiral stairs to the second floor.

The door to the master bedroom upstairs was open. He walked in and silently stood behind a chair.

A tall and beautiful woman was sitting in the chair and texting on her phone. Luke simply stood behind her and read the messages on her phone.

A few minutes later, the woman put down her phone and let out a long breath.

A low and hoarse voice rang out behind her. “You’re really dedicated, Axelle!”

The woman shuddered and turned around. “Who are you?”

A cold smile appeared on Luke’s face under his helmet. “That’s my problem!”

This woman, Axelle, was the person who stayed in room 1026 at the Warsaw Hotel as the “temporary neighbors of the three girls.

Axelle had rented a Mercedes Benz from the car rental company in Warsaw and left with Beth and the other two girls to come to this hot spring town. The reason why Miss Beth’s bodyguards hadn’t discovered this lead was simple.

Axelle was the one who rented the car, and the three girls never made an appearance. Luke’s money, however, had motivated the young employee at the car rental company, and he remembered that three girls had been waiting outside when the woman rented the car, and they had left together.

The young employee had seen the woman off as part of the service, which was the only reason why he had seen them.

Of course, the manager of the car rental company never saw the three girls.

When Luke had discovered this lead, Beth and her two friends had been missing for less than forty-eight hours, and the security guards had only been able to get a list of names from the manager for the time being. Naturally, they hadn’t found anything.

Unlike these classy bodyguards, Luke had taken the low ground from the beginning.

The homeless man whom he had found at the hotel was someone who “worked” close to the hotel regularly.

Luke only needed to shell out a hundred dollars to get a possible lead from the homeless man on the three girls as well as the locations of the closest car dealerships.

After finding the rental car company, Luke’s Sharp Nose didn’t detect any traces of the three women, but he found traces of the “temporary neighbor” Axelle in the car rental office.

After working cases for so long, Luke knew too well that too many coincidences wasn’t a coincidence.

He dug deeper into the rental car company and finally got the information he wanted.

While a large part of it involved luck, it was mostly a combination of experience and abilities.

It couldn’t be said that Beth’s bodyguards were useless. If Luke didn’t have Sharp Nose, he might’ve missed the lead at the rental car company.

Half a day later and Miss Beth would’ve been dead.

It could only be said that Miss Beth wasn’t meant to die just yet.

But in the end, Luke just used the fake identity of White Wolf, and didn’t dare reveal anything to do with Jenny.

That was because he had no intention of stopping this time.

He wanted to earn experience and credit points more than he wanted the phone company to start making money sooner. The system had rewarded him with 1,000 experience and credit points for killing the female vampire Raquel.

If he could find a vampire nest with eight or ten vampires in it, it would be worth it even if he didn’t make any money out of this trip.

As for why the three girls, especially the highly vigilant Miss Beth, had secretly left with Axelle, Luke had his answer.

Axelle wasn’t an ordinary woman.

In her list of abilities, her Basic Language (English, French, Italian, Spanish, Russian) was already crazy.

Most ordinary people couldn’t even reach the system’s standard for basic abilities with their mother tongue, but she actually had five.

The point was that she was extremely smart.

More importantly, she had two abilities: Basic Psychology and Basic Hypnosis.

Using these two specialties, Axelle approached Beth’s classmates first.

As ordinary people, they weren’t as sensitive to danger as the cautious daughters of wealthy families like Beth.

After the two girls were ensnared, they created opportunities for Axelle under her mental suggestion to influence Beth.

Only then did Beth irrationally escape her bodyguards to sneak off on some hot spring trip.

This wasn’t the extent of Axelle’s capabilities.

She wasn’t a puppet or lackey of the Bubblegum Gang, but a supplier and intermediary.

Luke hadn’t immediately attacked her because he had been waiting for her to send a message.

She was asking a certain “supplier” to deliver a batch of “goods” as soon as possible. Naturally, Luke had no qualms about dealing with this extremely vicious woman.

He used the simplest and crudest method to get the information he wanted from Axelle.

The vampire nests were mostly in northwestern Europe, but as an outsider, she didn’t know their exact locations.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, however, the vampires had taken advantage of the chaos in Eastern Europe to set up secret nests in various small countries.
