"Ethnicity?"
Fagga murmured those two words, then looked up and asked, "What do you mean?"
"It means...it's normal. Seeing that you've been doing well lately, the reputation of vampires has improved in New Ellie. The clan gave you Beast Number Two as a reward, and you've already received it, right?"
Kovi quietly lowered one hand, intending to push Kunmutu's gun barrel away.
However, Fagga's expression hardened, and his gaze sharpened like a knife.
Koveton felt as if his heart had been squeezed, and he had no choice but to raise his hand and continue:
"And you've already sensed it, haven't you? The second beast is a valuable asset; it can't just be thrown away casually. The clan has paid a heavy price to hand it over to you in the most reasonable way possible."
Fagar's eyes flickered slightly as he involuntarily began to ponder the motives of the vampire clan.
Good performance; improved the reputation of the vampire clan in New Elidu?
Anyone who believes that is brain-dead. How can the reputation of a race be changed by the actions of an individual?
Moreover, Fagga is affiliated with Victoria Housekeeping, and everything they do is done in secret. How could it possibly have any exposure?
Rather than a reward, Fagar believed that Bourne had messed things up back then, and that it was a foregone conclusion that Ghost II would fall into Fagar's hands.
So the so-called reward is just a superficial explanation from the vampire clan.
Suddenly, Fagga remembered something and asked again, "Then, who summoned the rebels to kill me? And you haven't said why you're awake."
"That's really aggressive, but thankfully both questions have the same answer."
Kovi let out a breath, then said, "The answer is..."
"A clan!"
Ethnic group!
Fagga narrowed his eyes, a murderous intent flashing within them.
Kovi immediately broke out in a cold sweat, felt his heart skip a beat, pressed himself against the bathroom door, and said urgently:
"Wait, put aside your murderous intent and let me finish!"
Fagga stared intently at Kovi, lost in thought for a long time.
Suddenly, the door to the staff dormitory was kicked open with a bang, and Billy made a dazzling entrance wielding two guns.
"Faga, what was that gunshot just now? Mr. Lekahn was worried about you, so he sent me..."
Seeing the scene before him, Billy suddenly paused, his gaze falling on Covey beside him, and exclaimed in surprise:
"Huh? Aren't you the defense attorney that TOPS Financial Associates sent to help Perlman with his case?"
Faga turned back, his eyes narrowing: "You were sent by TOPS Financial Alliance, weren't you?"
Because of the 14 million commission, Victoria Housekeeping and TOPS Financial Alliance have already had friction.
TOPS Financial Alliance even outsourced the assassination of Lucius the Outer Ring Triumph, which can be described as a blood feud.
"Very well, now I have another reason to kill you."
Fagga spoke softly, and then lifted Kunmutu up again.
"Wait, wait! Big brother, father, ancestors! Can't you let me finish explaining? Does spending too much time with the Wolf-like people cause them to go berserk when they encounter a full moon?"
Kovi was almost in tears and nearly knelt down before Fagga.
Heaven have mercy! He's a top lawyer, a true social elite. When has he ever been so aggrieved?
But there was nothing I could do!
Today, the airships are in the hands of others, and they also possess considerable combat power.
Disliking Kove could actually make it perfectly reasonable for Kove to have an accident!
Before Faga could change his mind, Kovi quickly explained, "The opportunity to kill you was something the tribe managed to secure from TOPS Financial Alliance with great difficulty."
"Hmm? You're still going to try?"
Fagga's eyes suddenly changed, and he exerted force in his arms, trying to lift Kunmutu up again.
Meanwhile, Billy saw that Fagga had raised his gun, so he quickly raised his own as well.
In an instant, three guns were pointed at Kovi.
Kovi was heartbroken.
Snap!
Suddenly, Covey slapped himself across the face, regretting that he, as a lawyer, had been so stubborn at such a crucial moment.
The slap was extremely hard, leaving a swollen patch on his face with faint traces of blood seeping out.
Fajia raised an eyebrow, seeing that there seemed to be a trace of sincerity in him, and put Kunmutu down again.
Kovi was overjoyed and quickly struck while the iron was hot:
"The decision to kill you was initially made internally by TOPS Financial Alliance. The clans dared not let them do it because they were afraid."
"If those people really take it seriously, you'll be dead for sure!"
Upon hearing this, Fagga's expression became hesitant.
Looking up at Kovi's sincere face, it seemed genuine.
Soon, Kovi added, "That's why the tribe wants to seize this opportunity, at least by setting a challenge and sending out some mediocre people."
"So you handed the commission over to the rebels?"
Fagar was tired from holding the gun, so he put it down and rested for a while.
Anyway, Billy is keeping an eye on things, so there's nothing to worry about.
Kovi seemed to have misunderstood, thinking he had already gained Fagga's initial trust, and said with slight excitement:
"Yes, isn't it easy to solve?"
“That’s true.” Fagga nodded secretly.
In terms of combat strength alone, the rebels are a bunch of rotten fish and shrimp.
However, there's one more thing!
Fagga asked, "And what about you? Did you come to the airship to represent your tribe and show me goodwill?"
"Trying to be friendly...I guess you could call it that..."
Kovi's lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to point out Fagga's mistake in wording.
But when he looked down at Kunmutu, who was lying on the ground, Kovi immediately swallowed back what he was about to say.
He then said, "I have two reasons for being on the airship."
"Firstly, I am truly a top lawyer at TOPS Financial Alliance. Defending Mr. Perlman is my job, and I am here by choice."
"Secondly, I am also a half-vampire of the vampire clan, and I am here to meet you on behalf of the will of my clan."
After saying this, Kovi's expression suddenly changed, and he became solemn.
Under Fagga's astonished gaze, he stomped his foot on the ground, straightened his spine, and smoothed out the corners of his clothes so that there wasn't a single wrinkle. His spirit and demeanor were completely different from his previous timid and submissive image.
It was as if the mere words "the will of the tribe" represented supreme authority in his heart, giving him the courage to die for them!
"First of all, I, Kovi Kunmutu, on behalf of the vampire clan, extend my deepest apologies to the vampire survivors who have been exiled—Faga."
"We are sorry that you have had to live a life of hardship since childhood because of our negligence!"
Kovi pronounced the word "sorry" with a firm and resounding voice, his proud spine bending as he solemnly bowed 90 degrees to Fagga.
"but..."
After bowing, Kovi straightened up.
He had just been apologizing politely, but suddenly changed his tone:
"The vampire clan is willing to offer Fagga the second vampire as compensation. However, they refuse to accept Fagga's return to the vampire clan."
