"Wow—! Fried chicken and orange juice..."
At Tina's house, as soon as the two little ones ca back, they couldn't help but exclaim when they saw the "feast" on the dining table.
Then, seeing Mike beside them, they knew who this grand al's bounty ca from.
Katie even warmly gave him a hug.
Mike had originally entrusted this dinner to Needy, but who knew that this woman's housekeeping skills were truly diocre, and the food she cooked was, at best, edible.
Therefore, to cater to everyone's appetite, Mike specially ordered so fast food delivery from a nearby restaurant.
Thus, the current scene unfolded.
Tina, who walked in from outside the dining room upon hearing the commotion, couldn't help but smile happily when she saw how popular Mike was with her younger siblings.
"Sister, is your leg hurt? Why are you walking so strangely?" Katie also noticed Tina walking in and asked with concern.
Because the previous battle was too intense, Tina, who had just washed up, felt even more "fatigued."
Even her walking was a bit unnatural.
"Sister is fine, I just accidentally twisted my ankle when I was washing up in the bedroom earlier..." Facing her family's concern, Tina glared at Mike unnaturally, then ca up with a clumsy excuse.
"Washing up? Why would Sister wash up in the afternoon?" Jerry, also concerned about his sister, was clearly more thoughtful and asked a crucial question.
"This..." The little one's sharp question truly stumped the rosy-cheeked Tina.
How could she possibly explain that kind of thing to two little ones who understood nothing?
She couldn't possibly tell them that their sister had just been terribly "bullied" by a bad guy, could she?
"Alright, Katie and Jerry, don't worry about adult matters. Your sister's injury isn't serious, and she should be fine in a couple of days..."
Under the girl's pleading gaze, Mike tily spoke up to distract the two little ones, then continued: "Also, what gifts do you like? I'll bring them to you next ti I co."
The two little ones looked happy again upon hearing this, then, being sensible, they looked at their sister.
After receiving her nod of approval, the two little ones then, one by one, stated the gifts they wanted.
Katie wanted a large plush toy to hug while sleeping, while Jerry wanted a baseball glove.
Due to their family's tight financial situation before, the two little ones didn't have many toys they could afford.
And what was considered a luxury gift to them was nothing to Mike.
Therefore, he gladly agreed to the two little ones' requests.
Next, in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, everyone enjoyed a delicious fried chicken feast.
"Mike, thank you..." In the ho study, Tina earnestly thanked the man who had followed her in.
"Thank for what? Because I promised the two little ones gifts?" Mike asked thoughtfully.
"Yes, but it's not just about the gifts..." Tina explained with emotion.
Because of their parents' sudden deaths, the two little ones actually felt very insecure.
Even though Tina had tried very hard to take care of them, certain emotional gaps still couldn't be filled.
Mike's appearance was like a stabilizing force for the girl's family.
For Tina, he was like a partner. For Jerry and Katie, this "brother-in-law," while being like a friend, also, at certain tis, supplented the two little ones' need for "fatherly love."
Mike understood what the girl wanted to express.
Then again, it wasn't easy for her to take such good care of the two little ones all these years.
"I'm sorry for making you laugh at ..." Perhaps having regained hope for life, Tina, suddenly overco with sadness, showed a vulnerable side in front of the man.
One could only say, the feeling of having soone to rely on was wonderful.
"Everything is in the past. You will all get better and better in the future..." Seeing the girl's true emotions, Mike stepped forward and gently put his arm around her, giving her a warm embrace.
After a long while, the girl's emotions finally stabilized, and she rembered why they had co to the study.
"This is the information I collected in Queens. There are indeed many 'people' who can't see the light of day hidden in the underground district there. They should be the Vampires you told about..."
Tina picked up a stack of docunts from the desk and said, "Additionally, I also found a group of people with unknown identities who are specifically providing convenience to these Vampires. Moreover, these people seem to 'respect' those monsters."
It had to be said, the girl's ability to gather intelligence was truly impressive.
How long had it been? She, an ordinary person, had almost figured out the situation of the Vampires in Queens.
"Half-Vampire! A bunch of scum who hope to gain 'immortality' by currying favor with Vampires..." Upon hearing the girl's explanation, Mike imdiately guessed the identity of that group of people.
So, he took the opportunity to explain the nature of the Half-Vampire to the girl.
These people with impure motives, because of their selfish desires, could almost be considered "human traitors" among humanity.
It was precisely the existence of these people that made Vampires like cockroaches in dark corners, impossible to completely eradicate.
"How can there be such people!" Tina, having witnessed the dark side of human nature, showed a shocked expression.
On the other side, Mike also obtained information about the general movents of Vampires in Queens District. They had indeed been very active during this period.
He estimated that perhaps another Vampire "leader" couldn't stand the loneliness anymore.
"Alright, your next task is to continue monitoring Queens District, and also keep an eye out for a person nad Brooke Brooks. This ti, I will have John and his team cooperate with your work. Rember to notify imdiately if anything happens..."
Before parting, Mike reminded the girl again: "Rember, when carrying out these missions, you must always ensure your own safety first!"
...
A few days later, as Mike was planning to visit Queens, he once again received an urgent summons from MIB Headquarters.
"What can't be said over the phone that you have to make co all the way here—" Mike, who had arrived at the Bridge Managent Bureau in the suburbs of Sixth Avenue, t Agent O, who was waiting at the entrance.
Agent O, who always seed to have a stern face, looked even more grim this ti.
"Agent Z will explain the situation to you in detail in a mont." Agent O had a businesslike deanor.
However, judging by his tone, this matter seed truly tricky.
"First, take a look at these docunts..." In the private office, Agent O directly threw a large pile of docunts at Mike after seeing him.
Among them, the word "Vampire" marked in red font was particularly conspicuous among the pile of docunts.
This made Mike a little surprised.
He seed to have a lot of encounters with Vampires recently, as if he was constantly clashing with them.
At this mont, the MIB Headquarters' docunts he held in his hand detailed the origin of Vampires:
Fifteen hundred years ago, a Black Death plague that swept across Europe almost wiped out humanity at that ti.
It was under such circumstances that a person nad Alexander beca the first lucky one to directly overco the Black Death plague.
The terrifying virus not only failed to kill him but also granted this person nad Alexander various incredible abilities.
Among them, immortality was one of those many abilities.
And in his long life, Alexander had a total of three sons: the eldest son Marcus, the second son William, and the third son whose na is unknown.
