Midnight...
A luxury van pulled up in front of the vampire castle.
"Welcome, the three shareholders of Umbrella."
A powerful member of the vampire clan stood at the door, waiting for Ye Xiangyang and his companions to arrive.
"Interesting, is this a show of force?"
Ye Xiangyang looked at the group of vampires in front of him.
A mocking smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.
For this negotiation, only Ye Xiangyang, Wanda, and Pietro from the Umbrella Corporation attended.
However, he was fearless in the face of the group of vampires in front of him.
"If you don't want to talk, we can leave now."
Looking at the group of bloodthirsty vampires before him.
Ye Xiangyang said calmly.
Wanda and Pietro stood in front of him.
We are ready for battle.
After all, the relationship between the Umbrella Corporation and the vampires is now that of hunter and prey.
Even excluding the Umbrella Corporation.
Vampires and humans with normal values are also mortal enemies.
For vampires, humans are merely one link in the food chain.
You should know that their food comes from human blood.
Crimson magic surged within Wanda's palm.
Pietro had already tiptoed, ready to accelerate.
The atmosphere between the two sides was extremely tense.
"The vampires are willing to negotiate. Please come in, gentlemen."
An elder of the vampire clan appeared at the opportune moment, breaking the silence between the two sides.
Ye Xiangyang chuckled softly.
They were the first to head towards the vampire's castle.
"Elder!"
Watching the three figures walk into the castle.
The young vampire wanted to say something more.
But a slap had already landed on the other person's face.
"You've just woken up, I don't blame you."
"But if there's a next time, I'll bleed you dry!"
The vampire elder's face was grim.
The vampires mobilized almost the entire power of the surface World for these peace talks.
This includes politicians, as well as some financial magnates and warlords.
This prompted the Umbrella Corporation and S.H.I.E.L.D. to restrain themselves.
As for why they only negotiated with the Umbrella Corporation.
The reason is quite simple.
Because the protective Umbrella is the root cause.
S.H.I.E.L.D. made a deal with Umbrella.
As long as the Umbrella Corporation's problem with vampires is solved.
So, for S.H.I.E.L.D., it's not a problem at all.
Inside the castle.
Ye Xiangyang and his two companions had already arrived at the vampire clan's council hall by following the guide.
"The group is quite complete."
All twelve pureblood clans of the vampire race had actually arrived.
"Welcome, all three of you."
The current Grand Elder of the Vampire Clan spoke calmly to Ye Xiangyang and the other two.
His thousand years of experience gave him an exceptionally outstanding demeanor.
"Bang..."
The door slammed shut with a crisp sound.
Only the elders of the twelve vampire clans and Ye Xiangyang remained in the council hall.
"Gentlemen, you went to great lengths to facilitate this peace talk, surely not so that we could just sit there and stare at each other?"
Ye Xiangyang broke the silence.
Upon hearing his words, the elders of the twelve clans also turned their attention to Ye Xiangyang.
After all, this person is the Umbrella Corporation's largest shareholder.
He was also the developer of those mysterious potions for Umbrella Corporation.
This is also the root cause of their vampire clan being hunted.
"Mr. Ye, the vampires hope that the Umbrella Corporation will abandon the Life Potion product."
"As for the amount of the loss, the vampires will pay the Umbrella Corporation every year without missing a penny."
The elders of the vampire clan hope to address the root cause of the current situation, where vampires are being hunted in large numbers.
"Pfft!"
Ye Xiangyang couldn't help but laugh.
"Have you been in the sun too much? Are you out of your minds?"
"The Umbrella Corporation and the military have already signed contracts that extend for three years into the future."
"The penalty for breach of contract is as high as hundreds of billions of dollars. Can the vampires simultaneously come up with this penalty and pay compensation to the Umbrella Corporation?"
"Moreover, those in power in the military and political circles have already listed the initial versions of several of Umbrella's current drugs as prohibited drugs, exclusively for the military."
"If the Umbrella Corporation stops selling the life-saving drug, do you know what the consequences will be?"
"At that time, it won't be our Umbrella Corporation that hunts down your vampires."
"But rather, those ambitious power holders."
Ye Xiangyang's words caused a brief silence in the room.
"We will handle the military and political parties."
"As long as the Umbrella Corporation stops selling the life-saving drug."
"The rest can be resolved."
The vampire elder spoke with a serious expression.
The vampire clan has existed for over a thousand years.
The wealth and power they wield in the real World are among the highest.
There are vampires in every field.
In the past, when technology was underdeveloped.
The existence of vampires is like throwing wolves into a flock of sheep.
Whichever one you like, you eat it.
However, with the development of technology...
The vampires' current advantage has vanished.
In the past, a vampire could easily kill dozens of strong, middle-aged human men with his bare hands.
But now, with the aid of firearms.
A well-trained special forces unit can even hunt down vampires without being ganged up on.
In addition, the development of weapons of mass destruction.
The vampires gradually retreated from the forefront to the background.
Furthermore, through the resources at their disposal, they erased much information related to vampires.
This has led many ordinary people to believe that vampires exist only in legend.
But this time, it is the greatest crisis the vampires have ever faced.
If not handled properly, it might even alarm Dracula, the progenitor of vampires.
He was being hunted by the Blade, Umbrella Corporation, S.H.I.E.L.D., and other factions that needed the life-saving serum.
The vampires' position in the underworld is already in jeopardy.
"I have a better suggestion."
Ye Xiangyang ignored the vampire elder's suggestion.
Because it is simply impossible to achieve.
If the Umbrella Corporation stops producing life-saving drugs.
Then the Umbrella Corporation will face even greater suppression than it is now.
They might even be forced to hand over the formula for the life-saving potion.
This is something Ye Xiangyang doesn't want to see.
For now, the Umbrella Corporation has been a great help to him.
Before activating the Five Elements Bloodline and developing the Five Elements Armor.
The protection network cannot collapse!
A powerful group can greatly help Ye Xiangyang's research.
This was also Ye Xiangyang's original intention in establishing the Umbrella Group.
To safeguard one's own research.
"You say."
The elders of the vampire clan all looked at Ye Xiangyang.
"The Umbrella Corporation can choose not to hunt vampires."
"But vampires need to trade their blood with the Umbrella Corporation regularly."
"This is the biggest concession that the protection umbrella can make."
Ye Xiangyang looked coldly at the twelve vampire elders present.
"Can!"
The Grand Elder of the Vampire Clan made the final decision!
Because they have achieved their goal.
If they can convince the Umbrella Corporation to stop hunting vampires, they will be able to free up their resources to deal with other matters.
They also knew that the Umbrella Corporation's life-saving drug was a very serious matter.
To stop the life-saving drug, the Umbrella Corporation must completely disappear...
