Katherine Wants to Go to Twilight

RUMBLE!

The instant Corvinus pressed the button, the bombs hidden in every corner of the cargo ship were instantly detonated. Just one second later, a fierce red light appeared.

Then, a deafening explosion rang out.

The cargo ship, transformed into a giant fireball, shot straight into the sky. Even the Kwon Fighter Jets hovering above, waiting for evacuation, didn’t have time to dodge and were engulfed by the fireball, let alone the Hydra agents who were on the sea surface, guarding against anyone trying to escape.

No one could have imagined Corvinus would be so decisive.

The massive orange-red fireball, amidst continuous explosions, soared into the sky. The seawater also became enraged, madly sweeping over the cargo ship that had disturbed its rest and was engulfed in flames.

In just about ten minutes.

The self-destructing cargo ship was swallowed by the sea. The huge vortex on the sea surface slowly began to calm down. Ten minutes later, there was no trace of the cargo ship or any living creature on the sea surface.

Even…

This shocking explosion that occurred in the Atlantic Ocean did not alert anyone. It was silent, a magnificent but silent death. Apart from Hydra, no one knew about this bombing.

Lake only learned of this news a week later, after receiving a call from List.

After listening.

Lake’s eyebrows suddenly shot up, and then he felt an urge to slap himself.

Why?

The money was gone again.

Although Alexander Corvinus had lived for so long and his influence wasn’t particularly impressive, he definitely had some money. Now it was just gone?

Lake felt a pang of heartache for Alexander Corvinus’s inheritance.

However, after thinking about it, he figured he had enough money to draw the first stage of rewards, so he felt at ease.

Even if Lake went to Alexander Corvinus, he figured Alexander Corvinus would only want to die with him rather than give his inheritance to the executioner who caused his entire family’s demise.

Lake shook his head. After figuring this out, he had no regrets or lingering feelings and continued to chat with List on the phone.

The bombing had happened a week ago, but List had only just received the news. After receiving it, List immediately called Lake.

Lake chuckled and said jokingly, "Mr. List, your superiors aren’t going to ask me to return that one hundred million clue fee, are they?"

List quickly replied, "How could they? The information was provided by Mr. Black King. Even if this person wasn’t dead and we caught him, we would still inform Mr. Black King."

Lake said, "That’s good. Although Alexander Corvinus is dead, I believe you caught those people from European S.H.I.E.L.D., right?"

Alexander Corvinus, the provider of Immortal Blood, was dead.

But…

Those S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who received the Immortal Blood were still around.

Although those immortal agents who had received Immortal Blood couldn’t replicate this agent, with such advanced technology, and Hydra’s technology being black technology, perhaps they could research something from this.

Within this week, there had been significant turmoil in European S.H.I.E.L.D., but just like Alexander Corvinus, who died spectacularly yet silently, the outside world was completely unaware of the upheaval in European S.H.I.E.L.D.

Only the Security Council knew.

The management of European S.H.I.E.L.D. was almost wiped out, with all managers becoming prisoners. Upon learning of this news, the Security Council immediately reached a consensus to completely seal off this information and, overnight, transported these fallen managers to a secret base in the Federation, where a group of enthusiastic scientists would give them a warm reception.

As for the Security Council and the Immortal Royal Family?

The conversation between Nick Fury and his two subordinates was completely destroyed. A month later, Alexander Pierce, the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., and Maria Hill, the Security Council’s special envoy and also a senior S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, visited the Immortal Royal Family. After three hours of discussion, Alexander Pierce and Maria Hill left the Immortal Castle with a newly signed non-interference agreement.

Following that.

The residents of two small towns near the Immortal Castle, under the intervention of the local authorities, began their relocation. The official reason given was the detection of potential strong earthquakes, floods, and mudslides – basically, any news that would cause public panic and relocation.

Within a short span of two months, those two small towns near the Immortal Castle had gone from being sparsely populated to completely deserted.

Of course.

They were only deserted by people; other creatures remained.

For example, Vampires.

After the residents of the two towns were evacuated, the Immortal Consortium, renamed from the VAM Consortium, hired teams from China – First Construction, Second Construction, Third Construction… all the way to Tenth Construction – to fly to these two towns for demolition and reconstruction work.

With the support of immense financial resources, the two towns were razed to the ground. Fifteen days later, countless building materials were transported to the site, and the two flattened towns began to be rebuilt as if by magic.

Here.

It would become a private town for Emilia’s Immortal Royal Family, just like the private town of the Volturi Immortal Royal Family in Italy, albeit a secret one.

Even the Volturi’s private town had humans and human officials. From a superficial perspective, this place would still be considered a local town, just like in Italy.

In the Immortal Castle.

These days, whenever she had free time, Little Cotton-Padded Jacket Katherine would stand on the balcony and watch the two towns, which were changing every moment, through a specially purchased telescope.

Because once these two towns were rebuilt, Katherine’s daily activity area would expand.

However…

Katherine probably wouldn’t be able to wait for that day.

In the castle.

Lake raised an eyebrow, thinking about what Emilia had just said, and asked her, "What did you say?"

Emilia looked a bit puzzled. "Didn’t you agree before?"

Lake’s expression was a little strange.

What Emilia had just said was that the overall situation was now settled. The Immortal Royal Family’s integration of vampires had reached nearly ninety-nine percent, and they had also re-signed an agreement with the Security Council. Naturally, the matter of Little Cotton-padded Jacket Katherine going to school outside could also be put on the agenda.

But the place Emilia had chosen for Katherine to go to school was a bit peculiar.

The school was located in the Federation.

Emilia seemed to have thought of something, narrowing her eyes, a slight smirk on her lips, and teasingly said to Lake, "What, are you worried your daughter will find out you have other women outside?"

Lake chuckled. "Do I?"

Emilia tilted her head.

"That female reporter Rachel from The Washington Sun?"

"…"

"That Seifer you specifically went to Washington to help."

"…Wait."

Hearing this name, Lake looked at Emilia. "Seifer, how do you know about that?"

How strange.

Lake muttered to himself. It was normal for Emilia to know about him and that reporter Rachel, but Seifer, how did she know?

Emilia smiled. "I’m not telling."

Lake opened his mouth, then let out a laugh. "I don’t want to ask either."

Emilia directly steered the conversation back to the main topic. "So, are you against it because you’re worried your Little Cotton-padded Jacket will find out you have other people outside? Oh, and you have an adopted daughter too. Tsk tsk tsk, if your Little Cotton-padded Jacket finds out you have another Little Cotton-padded Jacket, her mood will probably be very bad."

Lake shook his head, speechless. "It’s getting more and more ridiculous. Even if she’s adopted, in my heart, can her status compare to my own daughter’s? Besides, Little Cotton-padded Jacket doesn’t know about Lake Edwin."

Emilia said helplessly, "Then why are you still opposing it?"

Lake sighed.

He wasn’t opposing Little Cotton-padded Jacket going to the Federation. After all, if Little Cotton-padded Jacket went to school in the Federation, it would be closer to him. He could go visit her every now and then.

What Lake opposed wasn’t this; it was the school address where Little Cotton-padded Jacket was supposed to go.

That school was located in the Federation, Washington State, near Seattle, specifically in a town called Forks, west of Olympus Park.

The name itself didn’t seem like much, but to others, it was fine. To Lake, however, that place was not a good place to study.

Lake said speechlessly, "What I mean is, if Little Cotton-padded Jacket likes to go to a human school, you can invest in a private one nearby so you can keep an eye on it."

Emilia said, "If it’s closer, wouldn’t it be easier for you to keep an eye on it?"

This reason…

It was impeccable.

Lake’s eyes lit up. "Waterfall Town High School is also better than Forks High School."

Emilia glanced at Lake. "A school where a bunch of wild species huddle together for warmth. Besides, what does your daughter think? Don’t you know she wants to interact with humans? If she goes to Waterfall Town, what’s the difference from the vampire school she was at before?"

"There are witches there."

"Not humans, and they’re wild. Proper witches are in the Witch World."

"Mages?"

"Also not humans, and also wild. Even if there are, good mages are at Hogwarts."

"Elves?"

"Same."

"…"

Lake sighed. If that rebellious son had said he wanted to go to Forks, he would have slapped him to death long ago. But his daughter, who was always his joy and his Little Cotton-padded Jacket?

After a long pause.

Lake sighed, "Does it have to be Forks?"

That place was not a place for serious study. If you didn’t believe it, think about it: a girl transferring from another place, upon entering that school, didn’t think about studying properly. Within a month, she had a boyfriend, and he was a non-human boyfriend.

Was that a proper school?

He didn’t want his Little Cotton-padded Jacket to be snatched away by some damned bastard.

Lake would kill someone.
