[Volume 2: Vampire Empire]
"According to news confirmed by our reporter in Afghanistan, Tony Stark, the head of Stark Industries, was attacked by terrorists in Afghanistan yesterday afternoon."
"All twelve U.S. soldiers in the three Humvees that provided protection have been killed. The bodies of the soldiers have been found, but Tony Stark's body has not yet been found. No organization has claimed responsibility for the attack yet. It is expected that the stock price of Stark Industries will plummet when the stock market opens this morning..."
This is the breaking news this morning. Whether it is ABC, BBC or any other media, this news is the front-page headline of all the news and social media this morning.
Tony Stark, the world's richest man and the boss of Stark Industries, was attacked while demonstrating the latest Jericho missile to the US military in Afghanistan.
Currently missing, it is hard to tell whether he is dead or alive. Jason was eating breakfast while watching the news. Two days had passed since the previous warehouse battle, and today was the first day of school in September.
The two months of summer vacation were simply thrilling for him. All the excitement in his previous life and this life combined was not as much as these two months.
Reading the news about Tony Stark, Jason felt no emotion at all, and even felt like laughing.
"I told you not to complain that my name sounds like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and I told you not to complain that the Turkish steamed burgers I made are not delicious. Look, you're getting your comeuppance!" Jason complained madly with malice in his heart.
Knowing that Tony would be safe and sound this time after being kidnapped, and would even transform into Iron Man because of this experience, Jason was not worried about Tony's safety at all.
Now he is using the computer to look at the stock price fluctuations of Stark Industries in the past week. Now the stock price of Stark Industries is 120 US dollars per share.
It is expected that the market will plummet after the opening, and if I remember correctly, Tony was kidnapped for about a week, and then returned to the country to announce the closure of Stark Group's weapons department.
This was about to drag the stock into the abyss ~ But in the end, because the Ark Reactor created new energy as a support for the company, the stock price was pulled back.
If not now to make money, when else can he make money? This is the only time Jason, as a time traveler, knows how to make a fortune.
The fast food truck work in the past two months helped Jason earn nearly $60,000, minus the more than $8,000 he spent on buying equipment for the Night Walker Base.
Jason now has 52,000 US dollars left. Jason contacted his mother Gasley and asked her to help him open a trading account in the bank.
Jason plans to invest in Stark's stock to make some money.
The sun was shining brightly on the first day of school, so I thought those nasty vampires wouldn't come out. Jason was in a very good mood bathing in the sun.
Of course, some people are in a good mood, while others are in a bad mood. In the building of the New Jersey Upstart Real Estate Group, the young and handsome president Deacon Fiss was in a very bad mood.
"All the people we sent died, and all the food we traded was taken away." A sturdy white man with a traditional Scottish beard stood in front of Dicken.
The news the man brought to Deacon was very bad, which disrupted all of Deacon Fess's previous plans.
Dicken had no expression on his face, but he opened his mouth. You could see that he also had a mouthful of vampire fangs.
"We have promised our subjects to provide enough fresh food for the vampire festival! We have been fed up with for decades!" Dicken said with a gloomy expression on his handsome face.
"My subjects are thirsty for fresh, warm blood! And the Council of Elders and the nobles also need beautiful purebred food to offer."
The fresh blood that Deacon mentioned is the most delicious meal for vampires. The white man standing in front of Deacon couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
"Dicken, I'm afraid we can't gather so much food in such a short time!" said a young woman who was originally sitting on the sofa.
"It's not like it was decades ago now. The government has tightened its control over the population. The disappearance of a large number of people will definitely alert them. Unless we want to go to war with humans!" There was a warning in the woman's tone.
"What a ridiculous ceasefire agreement. Since when does a lion need the zebra's consent to kill a zebra?" the white man said with disdain.
"Hey~ Quinn, don't talk like that to our beautiful pureblood, Miss Lyra." Deacon seemed very graceful in preventing the white man from further provocation, but his tone was full of playfulness.
"Dicken, there's no need to put on such a hypocritical look. You are just a vampire who changed careers halfway through, and I was born a vampire." The blonde Miss Laura looked very arrogant.
"The armistice agreement is an agreement reached between the Elders' Council and human society. No matter what your opinion is, you must follow the decision of the Elders' Council. This is also the purpose of the Elders' Council sending me here!"
"Purpose? Hahaha!" Deacon seemed to have heard something funny and started laughing. "Those old guys who can hardly walk? Don't forget who is providing them with fresh blood! Not the cold blood plasma!"
Dicken suddenly threw himself in front of Laura, which shocked Laura a little. It seemed that if Laura said something that made him unhappy, Dicken would bite her white and slender neck fiercely.
"Dicken, you have to understand that the empire is not something you can decide on your own!" Larus seemed to be really afraid of Dicken. After saying these polite words, he hurriedly left the room, not daring to look Dicken in the eye again.
"Bah! Ignorant and stupid pureblood!" Dicken cursed after seeing Lyrath leave the room. "Humans and vampires are natural enemies. If we can't completely control humans, we will be wiped out by them one day!"
Quinn glanced at the direction where Laura left, and after making sure she was really far away, he lowered his voice and said to Deacon, "Dicken, the trade Bible was also taken away."
Deacon's facial muscles couldn't help but tremble twice. This was the most important part of his plan.
"Contact everyone and get the Bible back!" Dicken was determined to get the parchment scroll.
"What about the carnival on September 21st? We have promised our subordinates that we will give them enough fresh blood. If we fail to fulfill the oath, it will be a huge blow to our prestige." Quinn seemed worried about this matter as well.
"There are less than twenty days left. Contact the Ten Rings Gang and the Freedom Fighters. There is not enough food in the U.S., so ask them to get it from Afghanistan and Iraq and ship it to the U.S. as soon as possible." Deacon made his decision.
"I'm afraid we still won't have enough time. It takes about twenty days to get here from the Middle East by sea. The carnival time may have passed." Quinn kept reminding Deacon that their time was limited.
"Then let our subjects have the party! No one has had a real festival for decades!" There was a hint of madness on Dicken's face.
"But what about human society?"
"Let those old guys deal with human society! Maybe chaos is what we need most right now. Humans are progressing too fast. One day, humans will massacre vampires. Since there will be a war, we might as well start it and give humans a fatal blow before they are ready!"
