His father and mother were both injected with the T-Virus, Infected, and died, while Lisa herself became a monster in human skin. How much pain she endured in the past.
But now,after Javier's rescue and shelter, she transformed into her current appearance. Lisa became a living person, but Javier actually didn't want Lisa to continue down her original path.
Even if Lisa didn't explicitly say so, Javier knew that Lisa didn't like experiments. It was because of him that she would re-learn about the research of bioweapons.
Therefore, Javier didn't want to force Lisa to become the very thing she once hated. Lisa, who clearly detested the Umbrella Corporation for conducting human experiments with bioweapons,
and now... she would also conduct human experiments. Without a doubt... this was the dragon slayer ultimately becoming a wicked dragon—
"Forget it,"
"No human experiments are needed. You just need to regularly provide the blood of Werewolves and Vampires. Also, I don't care how you deal with that special human, but you must provide me with about a liter of his blood. His blood is very special, and I must acquire a portion of it."
"Also, don't you Vampires pay attention to the outside world? A bioweapon is gradually breaking out in the world, and Infected people will turn into zombie-like monsters."
"Raccoon City, in one of the United States' states, once experienced such a virus outbreak. A large number of humans evolved into zombies and gained special monstrous strength. I suspect that the essence of your Vampire birth is also due to a virus."
"Why not try to let Vampires undergo this virus fusion experiment? After all, Vampires' physical qualities are stronger than ordinary humans, and they should be able to withstand more viral power. If lucky, Vampires will gain a new opportunity for evolution."
"After all, as long as the negative effects of the virus can be suppressed, unprecedented power can be obtained. I just told you that Lisa and I are Infected. Now you should understand the meaning of Infected..."
After a moment of hesitation,
Javier temporarily changed his mind and still refused to demand live experiments from the Vampires and Werewolves, ultimately settling for regular blood provision.
Although this was a form of self-deception, it ultimately preserved Javier's bottom line. After all, Javier himself couldn't be too selfish.
He didn't want Lisa to suffer too much, and even less did he want her to become the wicked dragon after being a dragon slayer, transforming into the appearance she once hated, which would be extremely painful!
At the same time,
Javier also unreservedly revealed information about bioweapons to Amelia, the blood clan elder.
Because in Javier's view, since Vampires have infiltrated the upper echelons of human society, they should know about bioweapons.
To say they knew nothing at all,
then Javier certainly wouldn't believe it. After all, some high-ranking US Government officials were Vampires themselves, so how could they not know about such rumors?
And as expected,
"Bioweapons are useless against Vampires..."
"To be honest, I didn't expect that what you call the Infected are actually those Infected with bioweapons. This is quite surprising, but God seems to have already bestowed us Vampires with grace, which leads to the bioweapons, which are a gift to humans, being useless to us Vampires."
"It's not that they're useless, but the rejection is too strong. In fact, as early as the Raccoon City virus outbreak in 1998, we Vampires knew about bioweapons and sent people to obtain some samples for experimental purposes."
"But unfortunately, the rejection of bioweapons by Vampires is very strong. Within ten seconds of being injected into a Vampire Warrior, a violent reaction began, and shortly after, that Vampire Warrior convulsed and died."
"His entire body was covered with traces of cell rupture and skin ulceration, but miraculously, he did not undergo a zombie-like reanimation but died normally."
"Perhaps, as you said, Vampires themselves are a type of virus. After all, legend has it that the Blood Clan Progenitor Marcus was bitten by a bat, and then we were successively Infected through blood transmission. This method of infection is similar to bioweapons."
"And between two viruses, they will not be compatible. The two will fight for control of the host's body, ultimately leading to the host's death. The virus within the Vampire's body has already integrated very perfectly, and the bioweapon cannot overpower the Vampire's own viral strength."
"But the damage caused by bioweapons to the Vampire Warrior himself is irreversible, thus leading to death. Therefore, bioweapons cannot have an effect on Vampires. After learning this result, we Vampires no longer continued to pay attention to bioweapons."
"After all, we Vampires know that even with bioweapons, it's useless. To become stronger, we still need to rely on the power of technology. After all, Vampires have existed for thousands of years."
"Moreover, like bioweapons, we have the power of infection. Yet, to this day, we still haven't ruled humanity and the entire world; we are even suppressed by you humans. So, bioweapons, just think about it and forget it. We Vampires are not interested in them, nor are they useful..."
Facing Javier's inquiry,
Amelia, as the blood clan elder, explained everything. She was very surprised that Javier and Lisa were the Infected who gained power from bioweapons. No wonder they were so strong.
God indeed favored humans. Humans were already strong enough, yet they were still given the power of viruses, and what was most helpless was that Vampires couldn't get a share of these viral powers.
And after years of fruitless research into the power of viruses,
and confirming that the power of viruses caused severe rejection in Vampires, Amelia and the high-ranking Vampire officials abandoned this idea.
They believed that researching viruses was not as good as quickly stealing human technology. After all, to this day, they don't even know how humans build nuclear bombs...
However, despite that,
Javier did not agree with Amelia's point of view.
The main reason why Vampires severely reject bioweapons is likely due to the external viral power being too weak.
After all, with two viruses,
if they are equally matched within the host, it will only result in a mutual defeat. But if the externally injected virus can overwhelm the Vampire's own power, then there is a possibility of fusion to obtain new power.
Among the current major viruses,
the only one that has the power of Devour and fusion is undoubtedly the most unreasonable G-Virus. If these Vampires were injected with the G-Virus,
Javier couldn't guarantee perfect fusion and evolution, but at least there would definitely be a reaction of turning into a G-Virus monster, not dying directly without even transforming into a monster.
After all, the quality of the T-Virus in Raccoon City back then was too poor; it hadn't undergone multiple improvements, so naturally, it was trash...
However,
although he knew that the G-Virus was likely effective against Vampires, Javier would not tell Amelia this news.
Anyway, they were just friends of convenience, and essentially different races. If Vampires gained the power of the virus and in turn ruled the human world,
that wouldn't be good news for Javier. Vampires... are only suitable for surviving in the middle, not for replacing humans to control this world.
"Is that so...?"
"Then that is indeed very regrettable. My conditions are what I just stated. As a reward for our cooperation, I will unilaterally bring good news to the Vampires."
"Don't Vampires have the weakness of fearing sunlight? I might be able to make Vampires no longer fear sunlight. Every Vampire could walk in the sunlight, and I affectionately call such Vampires 'Daywalkers.'"
"Do you remember the human male you captured just now? If the blood in his body is truly special enough to be compatible with both Vampire and Werewolf creatures, then let him mate with one of your Vampire females. The mixed-blood child born might no longer fear sunlight."
"After all, he possesses half human traits and half Vampire traits, and humans... do not fear sunlight. Of course, this is only a possibility. What the actual situation is, I cannot guarantee. This requires your Vampires' bold attempt."
"After all, the catalyst for the Vampire and Werewolf war centuries ago was the Vampire warlord Viktor's dissatisfaction with his daughter Sonja's illicit affair with Werewolf Leader Lucian. Although this was indeed indecent,"
"it must be admitted that if a Werewolf and Vampire were to combine and have a child, they might indeed no longer fear silver and light, becoming a new powerful race."
"But now, you hate Werewolves so much that Vampires and Werewolves have almost become mortal enemies. Since that's the case, then try to combine with humans, especially that special human..."
Ultimately,
as thanks for the cooperation,
Javier gave Amelia and the Vampires a gift, a gift that could change their inherent weaknesses, which was essentially genetic modification. He suggested using Michael, the human, as a stud to have Vampire women bear children.
If his genes were truly special,
then the child born would most likely not fear sunlight, and might even possess greater power. The remaining Vampires would only need to extract the child's genes for modification, and every new Vampire born thereafter would no longer fear sunlight.
For Vampires,
this was good news. Although it wasn't a direct increase in power, it could raise the upper limit of their race.
After all, rather than having these Vampires blindly research the G-Virus, Javier preferred to tell them this news as compensation. What's more... this was originally Werewolf Leader Lucian's plan.
"..."
"Alright, that's enough. Stop the car. I look forward to our next meeting. I hope our cooperation is pleasant, Elder Amelia. If you ever feel that we are no longer a threat and wish to terminate our cooperation and funding, please let us know. We will re-display our muscle power."
And after explaining everything clearly,
Javier and Lisa quickly got out of the car. Before leaving, he also extended his hand and friendly gave Amelia, the female Vampire elder, a warning.
Simply put, it meant:
If Vampires ever felt they were strong enough again, they could stop paying sponsorship funds, but Javier and Lisa would return to display their 'muscles' and reclaim the funds.
Facing such arrogance,
Amelia could only nod helplessly in response, indicating that such a thing would not happen. However, the news Javier had just delivered,
indeed surprised Amelia.
Being scammed out of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions in funds, but if Javier's method could truly make Vampires fearless of sunlight, then Amelia could grudgingly accept it. It wasn't a total loss.
"Oh, by the way,"
"I forgot to remind you, Seline, you must live for yourself. You are you, and you are not anyone's substitute...!"
Finally,
just as Javier and Lisa closed the car door, they offered a piece of advice to Seline, who sat expressionless in the car. Whether she could find the so-called meaning of life would be up to Seline herself.
"Bang----!"
With a muffled thud,
the car door closed, and the extended Rolls-Royce luxury car drove away into the distance. Javier and Lisa simply found a place to get off. The surrounding streets were pitch black.
Because it was past midnight, there were hardly any people on the streets. The White Wolf, which had been following closely behind, quickly trotted up.
It slowly stopped when it got close to Javier and Lisa. Javier had been afraid of this big dog getting lost, which was why he had Amelia stop the car...
"Hiss, hiss..."
And as it got closer to its owner, Javier,
the White Wolf began to lick him wildly again. It seemed that even though this Spanish White Wolf had been Infected and strengthened by the T-Virus, its consciousness and affection were still as clingy as before.
It hadn't changed much because of it. Not bothering with the White Wolf anymore, Javier noticed the torn clothes on Lisa's back and took off his jacket to help her put it on.
That was the hole where the Plaga parasite tentacles had burst through her clothes from her back during the fight. At this moment, the Plaga parasite tentacles had retracted back into her body, leaving only her fair, beautifully contoured back.
"..."
"Thank you, Javier..."
Walking on the dark, silent, deserted street, Lisa, wearing the jacket Javier had handed her, spoke softly.
However,
this 'thank you' was not for the jacket Javier had given her, but for Javier's last-minute decision in the car to change human experiments to periodic blood collection.
Javier's final bottom line, not wanting Lisa to become the person she hated most, deeply touched Lisa.
She had thought Javier had forgotten this point, but now it seemed Javier still clearly remembered everything from the past.
"..."
"I should be thanking you. You forced yourself to become like this for my selfishness. You were once an innocent person who suffered from virus experiments. No one can understand the pain of bioweapon experiments more clearly than you."
"Therefore, I, the dragon slayer, have already become a wicked dragon. Naturally, I cannot bear to drag you down with me. There only needs to be one wicked dragon in the world... that's enough."
Regarding this,
Javier also knew what Lisa's 'thank you' meant, and compared to Lisa's thanks, Javier was the one who should be saying thank you...
The matter of the Underworld Blood Clan was temporarily concluded.
It was ten days later when Amelia, that woman, finally wired the sponsorship funds.
At the same time,
Javier also announced to Sherry, Alexia, Manuela, and Luis that they would be moving.
Amelia, the female blood clan elder, found an undeveloped plot of land for Javier on the outskirts of New York, near the coast. She bought this land and was rapidly renovating and building on it.
Amelia planned to build Javier a large-scale sea-view villa. This area would be managed by the Vampires, and normally, there wouldn't be many people disturbing them by the sea, allowing them to conduct research as they pleased.
Additionally, a basement of several hundred square meters was built, providing ample space. The upper villa had three floors and could accommodate over a hundred people, let alone just Javier and a few others.
However, the villa was still under rapid construction.
Even with accelerated work, it would likely take several months to complete, so Javier would have to wait a while longer.
"Now broadcasting today's news..."
"The terrifying The Greyhound terrorist organization has been completely eradicated by the BSAA. After the Floating Island Panic incident, this evil terrorist organization has finally been completely wiped out."
"At the same time, the leader of the world's largest anti-bioterrorism organization, FBC, Morgan Lansdale, has been stripped of his position due to his alleged involvement in bioweapon cases. The FBC leader position is currently vacant..."
And at this very moment, the television was also broadcasting the latest news. The timeline reverted to the Resident Evil incident, after a series of adventures and battles.
