Love From Darkness

Lee's Decision

Lee couldn't cross. He was very worried about Daniel's condition there. Moreover, the news and media reported that the entire village was in danger of being killed by a blood-sucking monster. Several policemen stood guard near the collapsed bridge.

"Isn't there another alternative to crossing over?" Lee asked.

"Though we have alternatives. We don't allow anyone to cross into the village. Especially civilians like you." Said one of the police on duty. He is fully clothed.

"But my son was there," said Lee. Why don't they understand.

"We know, sir. Please trust us. The safety of all the residents there is our responsibility. Look at everyone there. They are like fathers. So don't feel like you are the only one who cares about the families there," said the policeman again. .

Lee looked at some worried looking people on the side of the road. Lee immediately despaired. He felt very sorry to leave Daniel alone there. Lee walked limply toward Rachel's car.

"How?" Rachel asked.

Daniel shook his head slowly.

"Let me talk to them," Rachel said about to go downstairs.

"No need. It's useless. We can only surrender to them. It's just that I can't blame myself for leaving Daniel there. He is very weak. The wound on his chest can recur at any time. Likewise with the pain in his head," said Lee with regret.

"Wound?" Rachel asked cluelessly.

"That's right. Daniel had a very severe head injury. He will never be able to remember his past. Occasionally the pain in his head recurs," Lee rubbed his face roughly.

Rachel also felt the same concern. Don't know how to get into the village. As Lee and Rachel were busy with their own thoughts, there was a knock on the car door.

"Bryan, are you here?" Rachel asked in surprise.

"That's right. The police asked for a blueprint for the bridge," Bryan said.

Rachel and Lee got off. The three of them stood leaning against the car while looking at the collapsed bridge.

"The police stated that the bridge did not collapse on its own. But it was blown up," Bryan said with a deep breath.

"Then? Did they confirm that the culprit was a woman?" Rachel asked.

Bryan nodded. He showed hidden camera footage and captured the image of a woman dressed all in black at the time of the explosion.

"But the woman just stood there as the bridge fell. How did you blow up the bridge?" Lee asked confused.

"Reportedly this woman is not human. They are vampires who often hurt and kill citizens. Doesn't Lee know better about this matter," said Bryan looking at Lee.

Lee sighed. "No one has ever seen this woman hurt the residents except a week ago. Previously many residents had bled to death due to being sucked in by the fanged creature. But no one saw that the woman was the culprit. The residents made the news and forbade them to approach the Cave where women it's hiding."

"So?" Rachel asked.

"I'm not sure this woman did it."

"Reportedly, there are indeed a lot of vampires there. They claim to be this woman's subordinates. Her name is Alice if I'm not mistaken," said Bryan.

"How do the media know if her name is Alice and they are her men?" asked Lee cluelessly.

"Didn't you see the news? The video they posted on the internet took the whole country by storm. They claimed they were going to attack the president's office and take over the city. As a result of that incident, the president is now in the hospital with a heart attack." Bryan explained the situation.

"So this is a very serious situation?" Lee was surprised.

"It's true. All elements are under pressure from this condition, especially the state security department. Surprisingly, several ministers and government officials are currently abroad as if frightened. They managed to leave before the airport was closed," Bryan said again.

Rachel immediately searched the internet for information. It also sees live streaming of the latest news. It turned out that in the capital there was a massive demonstration for the president to step down and immediately hold an emergency presidential election to resolve the conflict.

"What's this? I didn't expect the situation to turn into such a big situation," Rachel said.

"It's more serious than that. You know what happened to some of the presidential candidates? They backed out of their candidacy positions. Only Alberto was left. He said he was ready to tackle this problem," Bryan said.

"Alberto? Wasn't he the head of your company after Daniel Xavier died?" Rachel asked.

"You're right. Actually not a substitute but a usurper," said Bryan.

"What do you mean?" Lee asked.

"If Daniel Xavier dies, the heir to his entire fortune will be Jennifer or Jane or what is now known as Alice. You want to know what Daniel Xavier and Alice look like?" Brian asked.

"No. For what?" said Lee.

"I think you should see it." Bryan shows a photo of Daniel Xavier and Jane.

Lee was very surprised. He just found out that Daniel Xavier's face was exactly the same as the Daniel he cared for. Meanwhile, Jane was very similar to the woman in the cave he had ever seen.

"Right. You must be surprised. They both look the same. And I heard that Alex and Ben, Alberto's accomplices are also in the Green Forest village. What do you two think. What do they think they are doing there?" Brian asked.

Lee's body stiffened. Rachel looked at Bryan tensely.

"Are they after Daniel because they look alike? No. This can't be happening. I have to help him." Lee was about to head for the ravine and intended to cross. Luckily Bryan caught him.

"Listen, we have to be smart to go to that village. Don't let the police officers catch us. We'd better gather somewhere and make a strategy," said Bryan.

Lee agreed. So did Rachel. The three of them decided to meet at Rachel's house instead of Bryan's because it could be suspected. An hour later they arrived at Rachel's house.

"What are our plans?" Lee asked.

Bryan looked at Lee and Rachel.

"First, we have to gather information and power. But before all that we do. I hope you are honest with us. Who really is Daniel," said Bryan to Lee.

"I told you he was my grandson," Lee said.

Bryan sighed. Meanwhile, Rachel just waited because she didn't know who the real Daniel was either.

Lee the three of us who can help him. And even then the chances of survival for Daniel and the three of us are also very small. Because what we will be fighting is not a group of small criminals, but a large group with complete strength. Plus that woman, "Bryan said touching Lee's heart.

"In fact..."
