Blood Assimilation

Chapter 20: Victim

After activating his assimilated ability and using the ‘Werewolf King of Wind’ form, Randy then threatened the lanky man as he questioned him about the whereabouts of the treasures he had stolen.

“Hold on! Don’t attack! I have it right here with me, it is in my storage bracelet in my pocket.” The lanky man hurriedly responded in a fearful voice.

“Hoh? You better not be planning anything. I can easily kill you before you even succeed, just so you know.” Randy’s concentrated before he spoke in his booming and fear striking intimidating voice, making him sound more threatening to the ears of the lanky man.

“Y-Yes, yes, I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare.” The lanky man spoke in a respectful tone as he banged his head that was slightly raised from the ground on the floor repeatedly.

Seeing his sincerity, Randy bent down and then searched the other party’s clothes and sure enough, he found a storage bracelet, but before he tried to open it, he thought of something, and then he spoke to the lanky man, who had an anticipating look on his face, right at this moment.

“You sly bastard! Do you think I wouldn’t know that you set a trap on the storage bracelet? Do you take me for fool? Do you want to die?” Randy gritted his teeth, revealing his vicious-looking fangs as he spoke in an infuriated tone with his usual booming voice.

‘Damn it! I thought I almost had him. He looked so na?ve that I thought... Fuck! It turns out I was the na?ve one.’ The lanky man dejectedly thought as he heard Randy’s angry voice.

.....

He hurriedly replied to him to calm him down.

“T-That was not my intention at all! It was just that I forgot about it just now.” The lanky man displayed an apologetic expression before replying.

‘Fuck! This bastard is just too cruel! Even in this situation, he was still planning a way to counterattack. If I hadn’t read a lot about so many things including the seals placed on storage artifacts and such, I would’ve been done in.” Randy silently cursed when he saw the lanky man’s pretentious act.

Earlier, just to be on the safe side, Randy had immediately activated ‘Blood Authority Skill,’ which lets him control blood almost as if he had telekinesis even though he had no such ability.

The night before, back when he was first assessing his abilities, he had discovered the uniqueness of this skill of his and he even speculated that he might potentially be able to control the blood of others if he wishes to. And to his surprise, it worked exactly just as he had imagined.

Fortunately, the lanky man was already wounded making it easy to surreptitiously drain him of his blood without his notice. In fact, the only reason he was talking nonsense with the other party was because of this.

Furthermore, he did not want to have to engage in a fight with the other party in the case, the other party ends up revealing a hidden trump card during the battle, overturning his situation and thus, he chose this safe method of draining the other party’s blood until he gets anemic, enter a weakened state and unable to fight even if he wanted to.

“Hmph! Now undo all those seals for me, you should be lucky that I don’t have much time to deal with you.” Randy snorted before handing the bracelet to the lanky man to undo the traps.

And immediately afterward, he was surprised by the scene that had unfolded in front of his very eyes. This disgusting person actually used his tongue to undo the seals.

Usually, one would only use their blood to place seals on their storage equipment thus similarly requiring blood to undo the seals, but this bastard actually used his saliva instead.

No one would be able to figure it out or escape such a thing in case of failure in undoing the seal if that was the case.

That was because failure in undoing the seal with the other party’s blood could only mean facing the protection spells engrave into it.

What a scheming fellow this person is!

‘Ugh! Disgusting!’ Randy silently thought as he looked at the lanky man drooling on the gem on the bracelet.

After a while, the seals on the storage bracelet were undone. Randy quickly went forward to grab the bracelet while he avoided touching where the saliva had touched.

‘Finally!’ Randy happily thought to himself with a smirk on his face.

He immediately injected a little bit of mana into the storage bracelet. Right now, Randy had more mana compared to the other energies in his body.

Furthermore, with the ‘vessels’ created by the system during his awakening process, he was now able to gradually have control over the energies inside his body as if it were natural and not something that was inserted into his body.

In fact, those energies did indeed belong in his body, it was just that he was not aware of or have control over them before.

After inserting a wisp of mana into the bracelet, almost immediately, a couple of items started dropping down on the ground next to his feet, shocking Randy greatly just by the sheer amount of treasures the other party had in his storage bracelet.

‘Did he steal everything in the vault or something?’ Randy looked at the items on the ground and silently thought in surprise.

After his initial surprise, Randy suddenly bent over to grab the items on the ground, and immediately, he was puzzled by what he saw afterward.

“This is...” He muttered.

...

A few minutes later.

There was a young man squatting down next to an unconscious bleeding individual. The unconscious individual was obviously the lanky man, aka, the burglar and the young man was Randy.

The moment Randy took out the items from the storage bracelet, he immediately struck the back of the lanky man’s head rendering him unconscious before he went through the items.

Of course, he did not know the right spot to hit, so after a couple of tries of constantly hitting the lanky man in the head, he eventually went limp, falling unconscious shortly after, and immediately after that, Randy breathed out in relief.

At this moment, Randy had a scowl on his face despite all the valuable treasures that lay in front of him. One could only wonder what he might be thinking at this moment since usually, people who suddenly get rich display a jubilant smile.

At this point, as Randy finished going through the items on the floor of the parking lot, a figure silently approached Randy and when they saw the young man, they suddenly spoke.

“What do you think you are doing?” The figure’s voice suddenly resounded in the secluded parking lot.

Randy was immediately startled and slowly turned his head around only to see a beautiful woman with the police uniform standing a few meters behind his back staring down at him.

‘Fuck!’ Randy silently cursed when he saw that the other party was a policewoman.

‘How come I did not notice a presence approaching me, even with my heightened sens- damn, I forgot I had already undone my transformation. But even still, my normal senses had greatly improved compared to before, yet I still failed to sense this person approaching me?” Randy thought in surprise as he nervously looked at the other party cautiously.

After not receiving any response from him, the female cop repeated her word again.

“I said what do you think you are doing?” She questioned sternly this time.

At this point, Randy realized that he had messed up big time this time and he hurriedly thought of ways out of this predicament. Soon, he realized something and then thought to himself.

‘Wait! Why am I thinking of ways out of this? I didn’t do anything wrong so why am I flustered, I just have to tell the truth, and everything will naturally solve itself.’

After this realization, Randy took a deep breath, breathing out slowly, and then he proceeded to calm down to collect his thoughts.

Randy opened his mouth and then he replied in a casual tone, “Sister Police Officer, as you can see this man was trying to steal my mother’s car and I apprehended him before he could do so; I was only a victim of his crime but luckily I learned some self-defense martial arts to protect myself, so I was able to easily deal with him after he suddenly fell down from blood loss. Phew... In any case, I thought I almost died just now, this person was so ruthless and didn’t even give me a chance to finish talking.”

Randy frowned as he continued with a dejected tone, “And it turned out this man probably was a criminal; I mean look at all these priceless treasures and books he had in his storage bracelet.”

He finally concluded in a despondent tone, “Which means... I really did almost lose my life just now.”

“...”

After saying so much, the female Police Officer was stunned by his words and did not know what to say to him. Only after a while, did she open her mouth to respond. i????n????????α????. C????????

After clearing her throat in embarrassment and relaxing her stern expression, she looked at the young man and spoke, “I see. Since that is the case, well done. Don’t worry we’ll ta-”

Randy suddenly cut in, he did not let the other party finish talking as he displayed an understanding look on his countenance and then spoke in a delighted tone, “Wait a second! Sister Police, are you perhaps here for this man? If so, then I don’t mind handing him over. After all, he is a terrible person that needs to stay behind bars.”

‘Handing him over?’

Hong Mingyue glanced at his delighted expression and did not know how to react; she was about to reprimand this brat for his reckless actions right after this but all of sudden he was the one asking questions and making suggestions instead.
