Chapter 555 - The Benefits Of Having Many Vampire Allies!
-----
Of course, the twins explained that the kissing wasn't completely necessary at the end, but it strengthened the bond between the two to become an even stronger fusion. Thankfully, nobody decided to inquire into the reason of why the two licked to kiss…
At the end of that little meeting, Frank decided to talk about the Werewolves, his next target into making his allies. The fight against the Chaos Gate would be an arduous one, and if they really planned to attack Tokyo, they would need all the power they could get. Learning about Frank's intentions regarding Beowulf, the Werewolf Clan Leader and Erika, his daughter, Clementine, and Harumi felt a bit restless.
"That's not going to do well." Said Clementine.
"Indeed, you shouldn't try it. We are enough… Why do you even care about the nasty smelly dogs?" asked Harumi.
Vampires and Werewolves were natural enemies and seemed to abhor each other. Despite them having made an alliance and even having joined hands to fight off the Japanese Gods, the Vampires nowadays didn't had the best of relationships with the Werewolves.
They were natural enemies even in these times, and it showed clearly in how these two Vampiress spoke about them… they were indeed rather discriminated against hopelessly. And without anything they could do over it, the werewolves simply distanced themselves from the Vampires.
Perhaps there was once the opportunity to become good allies, but at the end the two became dear rivals that maintained a status quo and were seemingly in peace, by mostly not stepping into the other's territory.
"But I really need their help, their clan is just as strong as yours, so they're essential for my plan. We need as much power as possible… the Chaos Gate is planning to do something that might bring the end of all of Tokyo… they'll have to participate without a doubt, after all this is their territory." Said Frank.
"But do you even realize how barbaric and savage Werewolves are? They're punks! Also they work in Akihabara, and it shows in how much of a punk they are! They dominate all those shady districts and are even dominating the Yakuza…" sighed Dan.
"Wait, the Yakuza?" asked Frank.
"Didn't you know? Years ago when the Werewolves came here, they took over all the Yakuza families one by one, and dominated them. Now they're the big bosses of most of the shady side of the Underworld within Tokyo and even the rest of Japan. Like a Mafia- well, that's what Yakuza are." Said Kuro.
"Oh… So the Yakuza we might had meet one of these days were actually just Werewolves?! That's shocking." Said Frank.
"Actually yes, they recruit newbies every month and they offer them the ability to become Werewolves through their bite if they work hard for the clan… It is one of their antics." Said Clementine.
"Erika is a nice girl I guess, compared to all the scumbags there…" sighed Harumi.
"Well, mostly because she grew spoiled by her father, the clan leader." Said Clementine.
"Kind of like you two." Said Frank.
"Eh? I never spoiled my girl! My precious little princess is a very diligent girl!" said Clementine.
It showed clearly that she loved to spoil her daughter.
"M-Mom don't call me like that!" sighed Harumi, feeling embarrassed.
"Fufu, but you're like my dear little baby, Harumi-chan!" said Clementine, hugging her daughter with her tall figure.
"A-Anyways, going back on topic. The Werewolves are the bosses of the shady part of the Underworld of Tokyo and most of Japan too. If you go ask for their help is like going to ask literal bandits to help protect the country… it won't do until it actually crosses their personal interests." said Dan.
"Unlike us, the refined, logical, and powerful Vampires, who realized the dire situation of our country and decided to allow you to cooperate with us in defeating the Chaos Gates, the Werewolves are stupid beastly people that only think about profiting doing petulant crimes such as drug dealing and piracy… amongst other things, which also include Underworld items, magical things… Due to this, they're idiotic and won't listen." Said Bernard.
"But didn't you guys still were rather barbaric too? You ended still asking for fighting." Said Sadako while raising an eyebrow.
"Bold Oni! Go back on your words, granddaughter of Shuten Doji! Being a Demon King's Granddaughter doesn't make you impugnable of being an insolent against us Vampires!" said Bernard.
"Ah, shut up for once." Said Sadako, ignoring Bernard.
"Y-You…!" muttered Bernard.
"Bernard calm down!" said Vheslia at his side.
"V-Vheslia?!" Bernard almost skipped a beat in pure horror, the little demon girl was now like his trauma.
Bernard quickly fell silent as the Vampires continued their talk.
"You see, Frank, the Werewolves won't easily welcome you… I think there is two things you can do. You either just give up on them and look for other allies or… well, you go there and beat them all to a pulp until they obey. Like wild animals, they'll obey and act submissive after you show them, you're the true alpha there." Said Dan with a giggle.
"T-That's real?" asked Frank.
"Very much real, although I don't know… Frank, you're already aware that Erika likes you, right? If you use her love as an advantage, you could actually get into the soft spot of her father and manage to do things more civilized…" said Harumi.
"I-I do know, Matsuo told me before but… I don't feel right by abusing her feelings towards me in such a way." Sighed Frank.
"Hmmm… You're such a goody-two-shoes sometimes." Sighed Harumi while facepalming.
"What? I am clearly not!" sighed Frank.
"Frank, sometimes a man gotta do what a man gotta do." Said Matsuo.
"Eh? What does that even means?!" asked Frank.
"Oh! Indeed! If we can abuse her love for him, we could actually get on the soft spot of the idiot of Beowulf… Actually, now that we are allies, I can lend you a hand in negotiations." Said Clementine.
