Chapter 1464: The Transaction with Lucia

Ye Bufan, on the other hand, called Sima Wei early the next morning to explain the situation. He concluded, "It's now certain that Situ Dianmo isn't in Angel City. We still need to find clues as to how she disappeared."

Sima Wei said, "We don't have any other clues on our end yet. For now, we can only pinpoint her disappearance location as Angel City."

Ye Bufan frowned. "This is a bit troublesome. It's truly difficult to find someone in such a large M Country, and it's hard to say if she's even still in M Country."

Sima Wei also had no solution and said helplessly, "Alright, we'll also quickly gather clues on our end and notify you immediately once we have any news."

Ye Bufan said, "How about this, send me a few photos of Situ Dianmo. I'll also find someone to help here."

"That would be great."

Sima Wei finished speaking, hung up the phone, and quickly sent several of Situ Dianmo's everyday photos to his phone.

Upon receiving the photos, Ye Bufan immediately mobilized all his forces in M Country, sending them to the Lawrence Family, Lorraine Family, and Perran Family, asking them to help find the person and gather clues.

After doing all this, he called Lucia into a room alone.

Although those large Families were very powerful, they were limited to their respective cities, far inferior to this Blood Clan Prince who controlled the entire American continent.

However, he knew that this woman, though seemingly smiling, was actually an old monster who had lived for thousands of years and was very difficult to deal with. It would be very challenging to get her to help.

"Little handsome guy, what do you need me for, calling me in here alone?" Lucia gave him a flirtatious wink, her voice seductive as she said, "Are you trying to take advantage of me? If you have any ideas, I can satisfy you."

"I have serious business to discuss with you."

Ye Bufan's expression was solemn as he handed her the photos on his phone. "I need you to mobilize all the Family's power to help me find someone."

Lucia took the phone, glanced at the photos, and clicked her tongue, saying, "This woman is so beautiful. Is she your girlfriend?"

Ye Bufan said, "Not a girlfriend, but she's very important to me. She disappeared in Angel City, and there are no clues right now. I imagine that with the Bouchard Family's influence, it wouldn't be difficult to find someone in the American continent, right?"

"Little handsome guy, if you want my body, that's easy; I can decide that myself.

But to mobilize the entire Family's power to find someone, that is indeed a bit difficult. Although I am the Clan Chief, I always have to give an explanation to my subordinates, don't you agree?"

Ye Bufan knew that this woman was setting conditions for him. He said, "If you help me this time, I'll owe you a favor."

Lucia shook her head. "That won't do. You men always deny things once you've gotten what you want. Favors are unreliable."

"Uh… then name your price. How much money do you need?"

"Money? Do you think a large Family like ours, accumulated over thousands of years, would lack money?" Lucia said, "To be honest, I can't even remember how many enterprises our Family has in America, and I don't know how much money we have. In short, we have a lot, a lot of money; we're not lacking at all."

Ye Bufan frowned. This woman was indeed difficult to deal with. He thought for a moment and asked, "How are your Blood Clan's strength Ranks divided?"

Lucia didn't expect him to ask this, and her thoughts were a bit slow to catch up, but she still answered truthfully, "The strongest in our Blood Clan, of course, is the Vampire Queen. Next are us Princes. Only the Clan Chief of each Family can reach this Realm.

The rest are divided into Duke, Marquis, Count, Viscount, and Baron, with Duke being the strongest and Baron the weakest."

"So, a Grand Duke is a rare expert even in your Family?"

"Of course. To be honest with you, even our entire Bouchard Family only has ten Grand Duke Vampires. Every one of them is a pillar of strength for our Family."

Ye Bufan nodded. "As long as you help me find this person, I'll help your Bouchard Family create a Grand Duke Vampire."

"What? What did you say?"

Lucia was startled by this statement, and the smile on her face instantly vanished.

Although she looked like a woman in her early twenties, she had actually lived for nearly 2000 years. In all these years, no one had ever heard of anyone being able to help a vampire raise their Rank.

She could hardly believe her ears: "Are you sure you're not joking?"

Ye Bufan said, "Of course I'm not joking. I'm telling you very seriously."

"Are you sure you have this ability?"

"Right now, it's just an idea, but I have an eighty percent chance of success. It was just an idea with Helena and the others before, but it all succeeded later."

Lucia said, "But this is different. Our Blood Clan's Cultivation method is completely different from the Divine Court's."

"I know that. Your source of power is blood, and your Cultivation method is to absorb the essence Qi of the moon. It is precisely because I have mastered these two points that I am confident I can help you improve."

Ye Bufan had taken her pulse before and had a clear understanding of the Blood Clan's power and Cultivation methods.

Hearing his calm and orderly reply, a huge wave surged in Lucia's heart.

There are ten major Blood Clan Families in the Western Dark World, and their Bouchard Family is the weakest among them, which is why they were squeezed into a place like America.

What determines a Family's strength is precisely the number of Grand Duke Vampires; they are the backbone of the entire Family.

If Ye Bufan truly had the ability to create Grand Duke Vampires, then the Bouchard Family's rise would not be far off.

Although she was incredibly excited, she was, after all, a monster who had lived for nearly 2000 years, and she quickly suppressed the excitement in her heart.

"Alright, Little handsome guy, I believe what you're saying is true, but one Grand Duke Vampire is too few. For our Family, it's completely insignificant.

How about this, I'll help you find this woman, and you help me create ten Grand Duke Vampires."

"Do you think this is pig farming? You can just churn out ten like that?" Ye Bufan extended three fingers and said, "At most, I can help you create three."

"Little handsome guy, we are noble Blood Clan; how can we be compared to pigs?" Lucia said, "The American continent is so vast; finding someone is very troublesome.

How about this, eight. I'll help you find the person, and you create eight Grand Duke Vampires for me."

"Finding someone is easy for you, but helping the Blood Clan improve their Cultivation is a very difficult task." Ye Bufan said, extending one hand, "Five, no more than that, and the medicinal ingredients I need must be provided by your Blood Clan.

If you don't agree again, I'll just directly cooperate with the Divine Court. I believe their ability won't be worse than yours."

Ye Bufan didn't ask the Divine Court for help in finding the person because he knew very well that if he made such a request, they would surely make an exorbitant demand, asking him to help improve the strength of their Cardinals.

And currently, the Divine Court already has two additional Cardinals; this balance cannot be broken further, otherwise, the Western Dark World would surely go into a rampage.

A deal with Lucia was completely different; helping them improve their strength would help restore the previous balance.

Moreover, when it comes to finding people, the Dark World is comparatively more capable than the Divine Court because they have more access to the dark side and the lowest levels of society.
