The next day.

[NEWS]

[Alvin Collins, the squad captain of the Hunters Guild, which is ranking second in the world guild rankings, was found causing trouble in the famous 'Streetwise' restaurant by using the guild's name.]

[Alvin Collins is rumoured to be stalking a woman and abusing his status as a squad captain of the second-highest ranking guild to force himself on women.]

[Rank-S Hero 'Vinny Grover' refuses the Hero Association's offer!]

[Vampires found dead in many places!]

[The Government and The Hero Association comments that the White Swan always does his job messily and asks him to do some cleaning of his own.]

[White Swan replied to the comments from the government and the Hero Association by saying: "Well, I'm cleaning up sh*t you couldn't in your place, so don't whine too much and at least show humanity that you're at least capable of cleaning up some of your sh*t which remained after I'm done cleaning up."]

[The Government and The Hero Association expresses their displeasure towards White Swan's words.]

"What's this?" I mumbled as I stared at the news, Alvin Collins's part to be exact.

"I guess it doesn't matter." I ignored the news and glanced at the chess board made of ice which floated mid-air in front of me.

"Argh...."

'One pawn is in place.....'

"Now for the second one." I mumbled with a grin.

"Argh....aa...haaa...haa..."

"Oi, shut it, I will kill you this instance if make another sound." I roared in annoyance at the three kids who were groaning. I was sitting on one's back while the other two were sprawled on the ground while groaning in pain.

Cole Quinn, the one I was sitting on, was a friend of Vinny's with Auburn hair and grey cat eyes and a medium build.

(AN: Cole Quinn was mentioned in Chapter 33: Professor Frost (2))

Piers Lee and Michael Sharp were the other two; they both had dark brown hair, Piers Lee had black eyes, and Michael Sharp had light brown eyes; these two were also Vinny's friends, but the difference between Cole and these two was that these two were his childhood friends.

All three were the 'friends' who joined first when Vinny created his mercenary group in the story or in his past life; Piers was a barehanded martial artist, Michael was a sword wielder and also the one who taught Vinny his swordsmanship, and Cole is an axe and shield dual-wielder.

These three characters become significant in the second half of the story when they are introduced as Vinny's friends. I dragged them here and beat them half to death in the hopes that they would contact Vinny, but the funny thing is that they contacted me first. Why?

'Because that son of a bit*h had given my, I mean the 'Professor' Eshwar's contact to them, asking them to contact me if they were in a life threatening danger.'

I had arrived here, in sector seven, as White Swan to hide my identity, and since White Swan kills only vampires on the outside, I even bought things that were required for it. I held up a half-empty volumetric flask filled with crimson-red blood.

"Do you know what I fed you guys in the beginning?" I asked them, grinning.

"...." Their groans had turned silent for a while, why? Because they healed and were no longer in pain.

"Answer." I commanded with a glare.

"W-what is it?" Cole spoke up first.

"A vampires blood, whose intention was to make a few new thralls." I grinned widely.

"...." They started to shiver at my words, only two of them though, Cole Quinn seemed quite calm about it.

"Well, you definitely wouldn't get scared of somethings like this, since you were planning on taking this path from the beginning." I said while looking down at Cole, only then did he started to shiver.

TEET

A muffled 'teet' sounded, which I heard only because my senses were spread wide in anticipation of any unnatural movements.

"Hahahaha, you think I, the 'White Swan,' would come here without knowing anything? I have received a request from my client that informed us about you guys; I checked it and found out that all of you were vampires from the beginning, and everybody in your neighborhood thought of you as a bunch of kids." I chuckled and said with a smirk, since I knew Michael Sharp was recording my voice in his smartwatch.

'Haa, of course, I know. I made you, you son of a bit*h, you think I would forget something I created myself?'

'A-ahem, ahem! I know I have forgotten some parts, but not everything.....' I reasoned with my conscience which was pricking me from a side.

SHING

"Arghhhh!!!" Michael groaned in anguish as a small, light blue ice spike protruded out beneath him and pierced his hand right below his wrist where he wore his smartwatch.

STEP (3x)

BEEP

I walked towards Michael, tapped on his smartwatch and turned off the recording before glancing at Michael from the corner of my eyes; his face was twisted in anguish as tears, snot, and saliva streamed out.

"You shouldn't do things like that without the other's permission." I said with a smile.

"Your pain tolerance is unsightly low, even though I just made you a thrall. Look, even your eyes are turning red." I said while staring at their eyes, which were slowly turning crimson red as a red whirlpool formed in their eyes, eating away what remained of their humanity.

"And...." I turned to face Cole, who was still shivering in fear. Of course, he would be terrified, because he never mentioned anything about becoming a vampire, not that it's a matter to announce, and he must be wondering if I have any mind reading abilities that would read all of his unsightly and ugly plans he had for the future.

"I hope you have contacted Vinny and called him here. Though I have to act in a way that he would believe me, I am not that good of an actor, so I have to get into the role, you know, by self-hypnotizing." I said while staring at Piers, who was staring at me and quivering heavily.

"W-why? Why are you doing this to us?" Piers asked.

"Ho! Hahaha, because your friend, Vinny Grover, fucked up, and because I am the type who likes to destroy something I want to completely. Once my target is at their lowest, or so they think, I bring them even lower until they become a living corpse." I replied with a chuckle.

"Savor every bit of their despair before devouring them whole." I grinned and a small amount of killing intent oozed out of body without my consent.

"Piers!" "Michael!" "Cole!" Vinny's low voice sounded from a distance.

"He's here. Sorry boys, your time is up." I grinned widely and killed them by destroying their hearts with golf ball sized mana bullets and of course, I didn't forget to shot another one at Michael's arm where a Frost Spike was used.

'Destroying evidence is important.' I nodded my head in satisfaction.

BAM

'Let's go. It's time.'
