Ning Shu had just arrived back at the manor when someone told her she had to go to see Darlene.


    Ning Shu carried her suitcase and went to find Darlene.


    Walking into the room, Ning Shu smelled a strong stench of blood and medicine.


    She saw Darlene lying on the bed. One of her arms was gone.


    Ning Shu hurriedly put her suitcase down. She walked to Darlene’s side and asked, “How did this happen?”


    Darlene’s face was pale. Even her lips seemed devoid of blood.


    “A vampire caught me off guard,” Darlene said.


    “Did you encounter an awakened third-generation vampire?” Ning Shu asked again.


    Considering Darlene’s strength, an ordinary vampire wouldn’t have been able to mangle Darlene like this.Darlene herself was capable of wielding light magic.


    She was the one who cast magic, creating the holy water that the blood hunter order used.


    Other than a third-generation vampire, Ning Shu couldn’t think of any other existence that could harm Darlene.


    Darlene weakly nodded. She had encountered a newly awakened third-generation vampire and failed to stop them.


    The holy war was now inevitable.


    “Send an email to the heads of state and governments under my name. Tell them what’s happened and warn them to prepare for what’sing,” Darlene instructed.


    Ning Shu nodded. She saw aptop on the table and turned it on.


    Ning Shu typed the email as Darlene dictated the content, then sent the email out.


    Ning Shu looked at where Darlene’s arm had been. The missing arm would have a big impact on her strength.


    Ning Shu held Darlene’s other hand and gave her some spiritual energy. She said, “Get better soon. The blood hunter order needs you.”


    Darlene looked at Ning Shu and said, “While I recover from my injuries, please take care of the blood hunter order on my behalf.”


    Ning Shu nodded.


    Darlene had lost a lot of blood; she closed her eyes to rest.


    Ning Shu stared at Darlene’s wrapped shoulder. Her whole arm had been torn out from her body. Considering the situation at the time, Darlene couldn’t receive proper medical attention quickly enough.


    How painful must it have been, to have one’s arm ripped off like that?


    Although Darlene was a blood hunter, rather than saying she endured this for the blood hunter order, it was more that she endured this all for the sake of humankind.


    There was no right and wrong to this, only the matter of survival.


    Vampires believed that they were superior to humans, and thus wanted to enve humankind asborers and food sources.


    It was just like how humans enved livestock.


    If humankind wanted to survive this, they’d have to put up a resistance.


    However, who knew how many people would have to sacrifice their lives for this resistance?


    It was all for the sake of survival.


    Ning Shu tucked Darlene in and carried theptop and her suitcase out.


    She sent out an announcement that blood hunters were to stop taking individual missions.


    Since every governed country had now gotten the news, they’d definitely implement new measures and have some sort of cooperation with the military bodies of each of these countries.


    It was no longer possible for humankind to rely on the blood hunters alone.


    Even if these countries dumped more money on the blood hunter order, the blood hunters couldn’t stop what wasing for them alone.


    Ning Shu returned to her room and opened theptop.


    She had received quite a few emails. The email that she had sent out was getting replies.


    Many of these repliesined about how the blood hunter order couldn’t solve a small matter like this, despite having received so much money from them.


    Basically, ‘What was the need for such an organization like yours to exist if you couldn’t even solve this?’


    Ning Shu: …


    If they had the ability to go toe-to-toe with a vampire, then they should go do it themselves.


    What was the point of wasting so many words here?


    Ning Shu’s reply was simply: Take it or leave it.


    In any case, she already warned them.


    A blood hunter’s life was still a human life. No matter what, they couldn’t be expected to just throw away blood hunter lives.


    The military had advanced weapons which would probably help with dealing with the vampires.


    Ning Shu took the opportunity to ask some of the countries for advanced, cutting-edge military technologies.


    It took a lot of haggling until they relented and agreed to give them some.


    The blood hunter order did have guns and ammunition, but these were of little use when one was facing a vampire.


    The attributes of the weapons needed to be effective against vampires.
