Chapter 34 Thugs
In the dimly lit hall, hundreds of candles were lit, their light reflecting off the surrounding glass walls and barely dispelling the darkness. In the orange glow of the candles, dozens of gentlemen and ladies danced on the ballroom floor, their skirts billowing as they twirled to soft music.

The lobby was packed with people.

The hall in the mirror was empty.

Dang clang...

After a slight unusual noise, the music stopped.

A person jumped from the second-floor stands and landed in the center of the dance floor, causing a slight tremor in the ground.

The gentlemen and ladies stopped dancing and their eyes fell on the unexpected gentleman.

A bizarre clown mask, an exquisitely tailored suit, carrying two heavy machine guns, and wrapped in two layers of ammunition belts.

Good evening, gentlemen and ladies! Are you ready to meet Satan?

The clown emitted an eerie electronic sound, followed by a cacophony of laughter. Heavy machine guns began to spin and roar, a storm of bullets engulfing the entire arena.

The screams even drowned out the gunshots.

One minute later, the hall fell silent.

The once tidy hall was now in ruins, with bullet holes everywhere. Corpses were burning all over the floor, and embers shot into the sky, swirling and falling like snowflakes.

Beneath the broken, overturned long table, a vampire curled up, biting his arm hard to prevent his teeth from chattering and making a sound.

He could only see the attacker's feet, a pair of black leather boots covered in white ash, stained with the remains of his companion.

The clown in the suit paced back and forth before finally leaving.

There was the sound of a door closing.

The vampire's heart relaxed, and he cautiously backed away, trying to escape from the other side. But when he turned around, he saw a clown mask sticking out from the table, blocking his entire view and staring straight at him.

"I've found you."

A sharp popping sound came from under the table.

After ridding the remaining fish with bullets, Mo Yu blew away the smoke from the gun barrel, ending the hunt.

The weapons provided by the trio were very useful.

The two heavy machine guns were powerful, had a large ammunition supply, and a high rate of fire. He held one in each hand and spun them around with great ease.

Within just one week, he had become famous in Black City.

As a ruthless individual who kills hundreds of vampires every day, the title of "thug" is well-deserved and recognized by most demon hunters.

Normally, it would take at least dozens of people and a skilled expert to clear out a hideout.

Tracking, reconnaissance, capturing prisoners, dispersing the surrounding crowd, formulating a battle plan, and finally launching a general offensive. This whole process would take at least four or five days, and there's a possibility of alerting the vampires and causing them to escape prematurely.

Mo Yu finished the job in an average of 3 minutes, killing everyone without leaving a single survivor, without harming any ordinary people, and even rescuing many others.

Lieyue has already sent an invitation.

After this major purge is over, he will be able to officially join the organization.

Mo Yu left through the main gate.

The trio waited here.

They would handle the aftermath, including inventorying the spoils, maintaining weapons, replenishing ammunition, and providing transportation. Mo Yu didn't need to worry about these miscellaneous tasks; the trio was very capable and saved him a lot of trouble.

Mo Yu said, "Let's stop here for today and continue tomorrow."

Beike's little secretary immediately said, "Big brother, you've worked hard! There's something important. I just received a notification from Lieyue. The higher-ups want to invite you to participate in tomorrow's elite operation."

"Oh?" Mo Yu showed an interested expression and asked, "Tell me about it."

Shell said, "The location is First Elite High School, and the time is 9:00 AM. We'll meet at the Bolai Restaurant outside the school for a precise cleanup of the campus. The key to this operation is identifying whether it's a monster, without alerting the students. The higher-ups believe that Big Brother has special abilities in this area, so they specifically invited him." "I understand. Whether I go or not depends on my mood," Mo Yu replied, waving goodbye and disappearing into a secluded spot.

Mo Yu himself was in the apartment, playing Dou Dizhu (a card game) with Elise and the maid.

All three of them had notes stuck to their faces.

"A royal flush, a 3."

Mo Yu threw away all the cards in his hand, picked up the slip of paper, and pressed it against Iris's small face.

Elise: "I'm not playing anymore, it's boring."

Mo Yu: "If you're bad at it, just practice more."

Elise huffed, "You're getting bolder and bolder!" Bloodthorns sprouted from her body, wrapped around Mo Yu, and kept burrowing into his clothes.

"Wrong, wrong!" Mo Yu surrendered at lightning speed, changing the subject: "Miss, how much longer are we going to stay here? It's been a week already, and we're going to go crazy staying at home every day."

"Wait a little longer."

Elise answered, taking out her phone to check the contents, somewhat casually, without mentioning her plans.

The maid picked up the tablet to check it and suddenly said, "Young Miss, Lieyue is going to take action against the school tomorrow."

Elise said, "Let them be. It's none of your business over there."

The maid said, "According to our informant, the higher-ups at Lieyue have invited the thugs to the event, and he might show up."

"Oh? Let's go take a look. I haven't been out in ages." Elise became interested.

Mo Yu's expression froze.

He spent most of the week with Elise, who shared very little information with him. This was the first time he'd heard her mention the thugs; judging from the maid's words, Elise had been paying attention for some time.

Mo Yu, with a naive expression, asked, "What is a thug?"

The maid explained, "After the Great Purge began, a rogue suddenly appeared. He was incredibly powerful and single-handedly wiped out 24 small and medium-sized vampire families."

"Hiss~ This boy is terrifyingly powerful. What are your thoughts, Miss?" Mo Yu asked after exclaiming in surprise.

Elise said, "We can use him to deal with the Nani and Kedo families."

Mo Yu suddenly realized and said, "The young lady deliberately stayed in Black City to find an opportunity to deal with these two vampire families?"

Elise nodded and said, "I suppose so. I need some of what they have. The purge in Rift Moon went beyond my expectations, but overall things are going as I envisioned. It was somewhat unexpected, but nothing serious."

Elise didn't say it explicitly, but Mo Yu understood that she wanted to incite a war between witchers and vampires. Although the kidnapping failed, she still achieved her goal.

With the Moon Rift initiating a major purge, a direct conflict between the two sides is inevitable.

The "accident" likely refers to Alice.

Mo Yu said, "Could you tell me about their situation? I'm curious how strong they are that even the young lady couldn't confront them head-on and had to use someone else to do the dirty work."

Elise looked at the maid, who understood and began to explain to Mo Yu.

These two families are the true local power brokers of Black City, with baron-level vampires in charge. Each family has secretly trained nearly a hundred knight-level vampires, and their true strength is enough to rival the local witcher families.

Moreover, these two families have been deeply involved in the Black City for many years, infiltrating various forces and developing a complete blood supply chain. As long as they use legitimate social connections and identities, they can obtain a large amount of blood from the blood bank, and their development has been very rapid.

These two families have quite ambitious goals; they actively gathered vampires in Texas and secretly ostracized and eliminated other monsters.

After listening to the maid's explanation, Mo Yu looked at Elise and said, "Miss, isn't this thug too dangerous?"

Elise said, "He mainly uses firearms in combat and only eliminates elite vampires. His physical strength is probably not strong. What's strong is his tracking ability. He can always accurately find the vampire's hiding place. We can use this to our advantage and give him some clues so that he can uncover what the two families are hiding."
