Chapter 72: The Chase
Although no one died in the accident, many people were injured due to the strong impact.
The city hospital’s medical team was mobilized to the maximum extent to provide emergency care to patients.
The city’s mayor and police chief were also present at the hospital to visit and encourage the victims as well as urge emergency work and ask the police to focus on clarifying the cause of the accident.
Several witnesses confirmed they saw a young man using his bare hands to support the bus as it was overturning.
Because more than three people were claiming so, the police had to believe it even though they felt it was very unreasonable.
– I think they don’t lie. While taking the victims out, I saw a guy using his bare hands to break glass and break some iron bars. The young policeman leaned into Michael’s ear and whispered.
Michael’s fists clenched, he was thinking about that bloodthirsty creature with extraordinary strength.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Vampires save people?
Since the day Lucasta returned as a noble lady, he had completely stopped seeing the appearance of the man named Samson.
Ultimately, is it Samson or another vampire?
– Have all the victims’ identities been determined yet? Michael gradually relaxed his hands and asked.
– There are still some unconscious people being taken for CT scans and examinations, so we can’t ask yet. Bevis quickly replied.
While Michael was moving to other beds in the emergency room, William and several of his bodyguards rushed in, looking everywhere.
He had seen Lucasta on a video posted by a passerby when police and rescue forces were loading victims into ambulances, but now he couldn’t see her anywhere.
Although he called the hospital director to ask for help, because there were too many people without identification documents, there was still no accurate information.
– Hello, why did you come here? Michael recognized William first so he proactively approached and asked.
– Oh, hello captain. I came to find Lucasta. She took that bus and… She asked me to let her go out to go shopping with her friends but for some reason, I saw her there through an online video. William pretended to choke, his voice broken.
With the search support of the police force and doctors, William found the room where Lucasta was lying.
Although she only had soft tissue injuries and minor scratches, because her body was so exhausted, the doctor had to give her intravenous fluids.
Michael didn’t expect that just a few months since he last saw her, she was so skinny. Her previously lovely chubby face was now almost lifeless.
He thought her life would be better when she got her family and relatives back, but it seemed her situation was very bad.
Does her uncle have any knowledge about nutrition and health, after all?
According to William’s request, the doctors moved Lucasta to the VIP room, where she was alone.
William originally wanted to take Lucasta home right away, but because a doctor said she needed more intravenous fluids and to be monitored until she regained consciousness, he had to accept.
Michael was here, so William couldn’t ask the hospital to let her go home.
He was afraid that Michael would be suspicious because Michael’s eyes looked like he was wondering about Lucasta’s poor health.
The work at the police department was too much so Michael couldn’t stay at the hospital to wait for Lucasta to wake up.
After holding her hand and whispering a few words, he quickly left with his teammates. He didn’t know that she had woken up and was praying for him to stay by her side.
– Guard her carefully. If you let her run away, don’t ask about the salary.
William sternly instructed the bodyguards and then walked away.
Lucasta refused to wake up and he still had a mountain of documents to process so he couldn’t stay by her side.
He thought that when he brought her back, he would quickly achieve two great goals, but in the end, up to this point, he still had not gained anything and had lost too much money and effort.
Lucasta’s breathing became heavy and her heart felt like it was about to stop beating.
It was not until the nurse came in, checked her body temperature, and asked the two bodyguards to go out of the room to let the patient rest that she was able to calm down.
While the nurse was changing the IV bottle, Lucasta sat up and hit her on the back of the head, causing her to faint. Next, she quickly swapped outfits.
This was the first time Lucasta applied the defense method that Harvey taught her when she blurted out a question about how to protect herself.
He taught a lot but she could only remember this method, it was the simplest, and the probability she could do it was the highest.
– Sorry, you’ll wake up soon.
Lucasta said as she took the mask and put it on, then quickly pushed the door open and walked out.
Luckily, the nurse had blonde hair like her and white skin, so it was difficult for the bodyguards to detect that the person entering and the person leaving was two different people.
After leaving their sight, Lucasta ran as fast as she could.
Poor her, before she could leave the hospital gate, they were discovered and quickly chased.
– What kind of walking and standing are you doing? A fat woman screamed when she bumped into her.
– Damn it. A man grumbled when she stood in his way.
There was no time for her to say sorry, so she just ignored all the scolding and ran with all her might.
She knew that if she was caught again, she would never have a second chance to escape.
– Stop… stop… quickly hold that girl back. The screams of the bodyguards rang out continuously from behind.
If they let her escape this time, not only their food and clothes but even their lives would be threatened, so they risked their bodies, climbing and jumping to catch her at all costs.
It is now eight o’clock in the evening, which is also the time when the police and vampire hunters begin their duty.
The sight of a group of men running and screaming quickly entered their sight and they immediately followed.
Tears blurred Lucasta’s vision, she could no longer see anything but the flickering car lights in front of her, her legs still running hard without knowing whether there were obstacles ahead or not.
– Ah… ah… ah… ah… – A shrill scream rang out when she realized she was standing in the middle of the road and a large truck was rushing at extremely fast speed towards her.
At the moment when she thought she was about to die, a strong arm hugged her. Quick as a breeze, the man brought her to safety.
The warmth and familiar scent helped her recognize him, the person she missed so much.
– Careful. Lucasta shouted when she saw a bodyguard holding a stick and hitting them.
With just a flick of his hand, Samson sent that guy flying onto the roof of the truck that just passed by, giving him a very memorable long trip.
Next, he held her with one hand, while the other hand quickly fought back against the crowded crowd.
– Don’t shoot. Bevis shouted when he saw some teammates pointing guns at Samson and Lucasta.
If Samson were alone, Bevis would also use a gun to deal with him. Although Bevis knew that the wound would heal quickly, if he fired multiple shots, it would give vampire hunters a chance to take down their opponents.
– Cross, quickly take out the cross. Peter urged the hunters.
Immediately, the hunters standing not far away simultaneously took out the crosses sprinkled with holy water and pointed them at the vampire.
Mysterious light emanated from all four directions, causing Samson to no longer be able to see anything.
His whole body was as hot as if it were being burned by fire and the pain and burning sensation spread extremely quickly.
– Ah… ah… ah…
He roared, let go of Lucasta, and pushed her into the corner of the wall, glaring at the surroundings even though he couldn’t determine the direction.
His eyes gradually turned blood red and his claws gradually grew longer.
– Go up.
As soon as Peter’s scream ended, the hunters simultaneously jumped forward, splashing garlic juice on Samson, making him scream miserably.
Next, they used iron whips to continuously whip him. Soon the black clothes on his body were soaked with blood and torn.
– Stop… no… don’t hit…
While screaming, Lucasta rushed forward, using her body to shield him. Although the hunters quickly stopped to avoid injuring her, a whip accidentally hit her back so hard that she almost fainted.
– Lucasta…
Samson’s anger reached its peak when he witnessed the girl he loved being harmed by hunters.
He cherished and protected her to the point of not wanting a single finger of her to get hurt or a strand of her hair to fall, but they dared to hit her.
– Ah… ah… a… those bastards…
As soon as he put her aside, he frantically rushed up and hit the people in front of him.
The hunters were shocked because they did not expect Samson to still have the strength to fight back.
Some guys were frantically taking out crosses when he kicked them away, causing them to lose consciousness.
Some guys were scratched by him and they quickly experienced the pain he had to endure when the iron whip fell on his body.
However, that pain was only one-tenth of the pain they caused him.
Seeing the chaotic scene, one of the bodyguards tried to run over, grabbed Lucasta’s hand, and pulled her away.
She is the breadwinner of his entire family, so if he can’t bring her home today, he won’t be able to save his life.
– Let go… no… let go of me…
She miserably clung to the lamppost and cried like rain, her eyes helplessly looking toward the chaotic crowd, trying to find a familiar figure. If she had to return to that hell, she would rather die right here.
The bodyguard roared and pulled with all his strength, causing both him and her to fall onto the street.
And while he was crawling up, his back caught all five of Samson’s sharp claws.
Although Lucasta tried to tell herself not to be afraid of Samson, seeing his appearance and actions at this time, she couldn’t help but be scared.
Blood, whip marks on his body, claws, bloodshot eyes, and blistered skin made him look like a devil.
Samson also noticed the panic on Lucasta’s face. He said nothing, just silently approached, picked her up, and quickly left.
In just a blink of an eye, Lucasta found herself in the yard of a strange house.
– This is Michael’s house, he can help you.
Samson put her down on the steps, took off his torn black cloak to wrap her in, and then jumped over the fence, disappearing into the night.
He was forced to leave before his strength was completely exhausted, causing him to pass out on the street.
