Chapter 82

On September 15th, at nine o'clock in the evening, in Washington, DC, a hazy drizzle fell in the sky. This is not common in dry autumn.

The street lamps on the street glowed orange, and the lights appeared hazy in the drizzle.

Arlington is an important district in Washington, D.C., where many government office buildings, including the Pentagon, are concentrated.

A Rolls-Royce Phantom was parked in front of a six-story European-style building in Arlington, and an elderly man in a double-breasted striped suit and a top hat stepped out of the car.

He has taupe eyes and holds a tin cane with an elaborate dragon decoration on the handle.

He was dignified and graceful. When people see him, they can't help but think of some royal aristocrats in Europe who have received strict dogma.

The only thing that made him look a little dignified was the occasional anxious look on his face.

The man got out of the car and walked quickly into the building, took the elevator to the sixth floor of the building, pushed open the door and walked into the largest office on the sixth floor.

"You're late, Gao Tiannu." A dozen other people were already sitting in the office, and there were also some bodyguard-like figures standing around. The one who spoke first was a black man with silver hair and a solemn face.

"We will always show up on time, never early, and never delay." Gao Tiannu's words were blunt, but polite.

It seems that he is talking about common sense, and he also reminds everyone who is sitting that he is not late, but just arrived at the right time.

"We're not vampires, we don't understand what you're doing." The silver-haired black man let out an inexplicable snort and said.

"Okay~ Bujuno, we're here to solve the problem, we're here to negotiate. Don't start arguing with anger." A middle-aged man with golden glasses stood up and made a round.

"Gentlemen, let's start our discussion. You can go and quarrel with Gautino by yourself later, Bujuno." Sitting at the conference table, a middle-aged blond white man interrupted the black man who was about to say something. .

"Okay, Mr. Chairman." The black man named Bujuno said, and gave Gao Tiannu a vicious look.

As the black man Bujuno said before, Gao Tiannu is a vampire. Except for Gao Tiannu, the rest of the people present were all human beings.

The meeting was organized by the President's Office, and the middle-aged blond man at the top was the White House contact and the convener of the meeting. It also represents the president with full authority, and he will report the meeting information to the president as soon as possible.

In addition, the leader of the vampire special event handling department was also present at the meeting, secretly a haggis Mr. Lynch who wanted to become a vampire.

At the same time, the National Security Council was also meeting side by side. The person who attended the meeting was the old black man who satirized Gao Tiannu just now.

Also in attendance was Frank's old friend, S.H.I.E.L.D. Chief One-Eyed Nick Fury.

Gao Tiannu, the chief elder of the Vampire Presbyterian Church in North and South America.

This is the highest-level joint vampire meeting in the United States and even in North and South America.

And the goal of the topic is very simple, about the vampire farm incident.

"The president's expectation is that he doesn't want this incident to have too much impact, which will make ordinary people panic, which is a detriment to social stability." The first person to speak was the White House contact, the blond man.

He spoke in a high-sounding manner that he did not believe, as if he really wanted to understand what he said, it is best to take it as: the president does not want the vampire incident to affect his voter approval rate.

Immediately after the blond man spoke, Lynch said: "We have contacted the news media to delete all incidents about vampires in the news. And when we borrowed the information, all the people in the basement have been transferred away, and the reporter has not Nothing was photographed."

"This will only be transformed into an ordinary disappearance case. The sudden disappearance of Mr. Lanca, a rich man in New York, is very eye-catching, but it will not have any impact on society."

As a pawn of vampires, Lynch is already familiar with handling these things.

"Ha~ Then what? The people in your department just ended their work? What about the humans who were planted like plants? Where did they go?" Bujuno laughed mockingly.

"Of course we have properly accommodated those people." Mr. Lynch said in a displeased tone.

"Do you mean to send them all to **** island properly?" Bujino took a plate of documents from Nick Fury and threw it on the conference table.

Many photos and documents were spread out on the table, which made Lynch look very embarrassed.

**** Island is an independent island on the east coast. It was used to hold heavy criminals before, but it was later abandoned, leaving only a few people on the island to maintain and keep the navigation lighthouse running on the island.

The number of people rescued from the vampire farm this time was 8,500, including many women and children.

These people have all had their frontal lobes removed, and in short, they have all become living dead, or vegetative.

These people must be placed by the government, and this errand is naturally handed over to the vampire-related departments.

And Mr. Lynch's solution is also very straightforward, transfer everyone to **** island, use the prison on the island, and then give these vegetative people some fixed nutrients, so that they don't die immediately.

As for what happens to the people inside after the limelight, only God knows.

This matter seems to have been pierced by S.H.I.E.L.D., and the information was thrown directly on the table, which made Lynch very embarrassed.

"This is only a temporary solution, we need time to deal with these things slowly, and the primary purpose now is to keep the news media from knowing about these things." As a good politician, talking nonsense is a necessary skill.

Lynch said righteously, as if everything he did was for the sake of the government and the country.

"I hope so, I'll be watching there." Nick Fury, who had been silent all the time, rarely spoke, and the cold tone made Lynch very uncomfortable.

"Okay~ Okay, the president said he knew Mr. Lynch's decision and thought he handled it right. The first issue now is to reduce the impact." The blond man once again interrupted the impending quarrel.

"Now our issue is, Mr. Gao Tiannu. You and your Presbyterian Council and the vampires under the Presbyterian Council did not abide by the Armistice Agreement. Your actions are to declare war on us!"

"No~no~no~, sir, I think you are mistaken. The blood clan abides by the law, and we abide by the armistice agreement very well." Gao Tiannu smiled and denied the blond man's accusation against him.

"At that time, the Vampire Empire signed an armistice agreement with the twenty-eight allies of the Human Alliance. Over the years, we never thought of provoking a war. We never took action against the people of the armistice country."

Gao Tiannu held a cane and paced the trail in the office. "I didn't know about the blood farm in New York, but Lanka later confessed to me that none of the human beings he captured were Americans or nationals of allied countries."

"The blood family has no intention to provoke the powerful US government, and we will never do anything to American civilians." Gao Tiannu said, standing at one end of the conference table.

"But you provoked humanity, and you broke the promise not to attack humanity." Bujuno couldn't stand Gao Tiannu's unrepentant attitude.

"Because my people are hungry! They need food. What if there are a lot of hungry vampires on the streets of America? We need a source of food!" Gao Tiannu said tit for tat.

"We have provided you with food, and the plasma stock of the human blood bank is already below the warning line! How many emergency patients died on the operating table without blood transfusions!"

"And those life-saving plasma were eaten by you and your people as food!" Bujuno was already furious when he said that.

"Sir, I have to remind you that every pack of blood plasma taken out from the blood bank by the Vampire Empire has been paid for in real money!" Gao Tiannu said without showing weakness.

"The government calls on people to go to the streets to donate blood for free, and there will be a line of unpaid blood donations in front of the blood donation carts on holidays."

"The government doesn't pay its own taxpayers a penny, and we have to pay $200 for every 100cc pack of plasma we take from the government's blood bank!" Gao Tiannu had inadvertently exposed his fangs when he spoke.

"The blood clan is the food that is exchanged for the principle of equivalent exchange, this is not what you provide for free!"

"If a patient dies because of ischemia, it's not because of our appetite, but because of your own greed for money!"

Gao Tiannu's words said that there was silence in the conference room, which was a real and embarrassing question. Ischemia in a patient does not mean that the blood bank is really out of blood.

Rather, the government sold most of the plasma to the Vampire Empire for profit.

Calling on people to donate blood for free, and then selling it to vampires at a high price, the government made a lot of money in it.

The only person still talking is Nick Fury. "In the warehouse by the Hudson River, we found some of the Americans you kidnapped."

His only intact eyeball was staring at Gao Tiannu.

"I think you are Nick Fury, the famous director of S.H.I.E.L.D. It's a pleasure to meet you." Gao Tiannu didn't care about Nick's gaze, and said with a smile.

"I don't quite understand what happened on the Hudson River. I said the Vampire Empire would not take action against the Americans. Did you find a vampire on the Hudson River? Are you sure there is evidence that the vampire did it?"

Of course Nick couldn't find it. The three vampires who handed over were all purified to dust by Frank, and there was no evidence.

"And the respected Director, please don't forget. The blood clan is the most honest taxpayer." Gao Tiannu suddenly talked about another topic.

"As far as I know, all the industries and personal taxes of the entire blood family in North America add up to nearly 200 billion U.S. dollars in taxes to the U.S. government every year. The U.S. tax revenue is 3.3 trillion yuan a year, and we have nearly occupied 7% of total U.S. tax revenue.”

It was said that the entire conference room was quiet here, which was something everyone knew. Vampires have been around for far too long, and they are entrenched in many industries.

If they were to be wiped out overnight, the entire United States would be in turmoil.

"And don't talk about it, we pay a huge amount to the U.S. government every year to buy plasma." Gao Tiannu paused, and only then did he take off his top hat.

"Director Nick, please allow me to remind you. Many of your S.H.I.E.L.D. expenses cannot be paid normally, and who do you think is paying for you for those obscure expenses?" .

"As I said, the vampire will not be an enemy of the United States, nor do they want to provoke the government. I am sorry for this incident, and the empire will give compensation to the families of all victims. And I promise that it will not happen again next time. matter."

Gao Tiannu said with a faint smile.

"How do you guarantee your oath? It can cover up those vampires' thirst for blood?" Bujuno asked.

"The research on artificial plasma has made a breakthrough. I believe that one day we will coexist peacefully." Gao Tiannu's words made everyone in the conference room whisper.

"And in order to show sincerity, the Vampire Empire is willing to punish the culprit, Lanka, and let him bathe in the sun without protection." Gao Tiannu's trip was full of sincerity.

The officials present did not want to really fight the vampires themselves, except for Bujuno and Nick who still stared at Gao Tiannu with vigilant eyes.

It was already twelve o'clock in the middle of the night when we walked out of the building. In the midst of constant quarrels and compromises, the human government once again reached a peace agreement with the vampires.

It's ridiculous, but that's what politicians really look like.

Bujuno, who was standing in the building, was watching Kotino's Rolls-Royce Phantom slowly drive away through the window, and he asked Nick Fury who was standing next to him. "Do you believe him?"

"I don't believe in any vampires." Nick's answer was succinct and forceful.

"I don't believe it either, but I'm not alone in the Security Council." Bugiono said a little unwillingly. "There are always people who only see immediate benefits, not long-term plans."

"Nick, I need you to get everyone in S.H.I.E.L.D. to act. I have a bad hunch. Where the Security Council is, I will try my best to settle things for you so they don't hold you back."

"Did the girl tell you that bad premonition?" Nick Fury asked without end.

Bujuno smiled and didn't answer.

Inside the Nightcrawler base, Li Jie and Peter rummaged through all the news, but they didn't see anything about the New York blood farm.

The most reported is that the New York billionaire Lanka is missing.

However, Li Jie had long known that it was not that simple, so he recorded it.

"Useless Nightcrawler. The government will let people delete your uploaded videos soon." Frank already knew what happened to Li Jie and Peter at the Lanka Manor.

He knew very well that the government would do everything possible to cover up things. This was the virtue of the government, and Frank had already learned it.

"At least we have to give it a try, boss." Peter replied instead of Li Jie while uploading the video on the computer. "Even if a few more people know the truth of the matter, it's good."

Li Jie's eyes were fixed on the screen. Although he had already guessed the result, he couldn't help feeling disappointed. He should never pin his hopes on the politicians' sudden awakening of his conscience.
