Liz was stunned, and so was Carole, but she reacted quickly: "You want to rescue Damon through a deal? I can tell you clearly, that's impossible! Damon must die, no matter the cost!"

“I’m taking him away, and you can’t stop me no matter what price you pay.” Su shook her head: “I’m talking about other vampires, lots of vampires, a deal that could turn this town into hell!”

"What do you mean?"

"In 1864, the founding family of Mysterious Falls, along with the residents, discovered the vampires in the town and captured them all, imprisoning them in the old church and burning them alive. However, these vampires did not die, but were sealed in the cemetery beneath the church, where they remain to this day."

"The founding family's committee and your understanding of vampires also come from this event."

Su glanced at Damon and Stefan: "These two brothers were also eyewitnesses back then. Their father was also a member of the founder's family. By chance, they did not die, nor were they sealed away, and they left Mystic Falls Town."

"Leaving aside Stefan's experiences for now, let's just talk about Damon. He asked a witch at the time to save vampires who were supposed to be burned at the stake. The witch used magic to seal these vampires in a tomb. Many years later, Damon returned here with the purpose of breaking the seal and rescuing the person he loved most!"

Su paused for a moment, then said, "I can tell you definitively that even without Damon, someone else will find a way to break the seal and release the vampires inside. I think you know very well what will happen to the town once the vampires, who have been imprisoned for so long, are released."

"Our Akatsuki organization can help you eliminate all the vampires in the tomb, provided you can pay a sufficient price!"

"By the way, Damon is the person who knows the most about the tomb seal. After all, he was the one who made the deal with the witch back then, and he was also an intern of the Akatsuki organization, so he had an obligation to complete the tasks assigned to him by the organization, such as... eliminating the vampires in the tomb!"

"In the end, you still want to save him! Besides, what you've said is just your side of the story, and it's hard to tell if it's true or false. You need to provide evidence!" Carol said in a deep voice.

"call out--"

Sue flashed in front of Carol in an instant, reached out and grabbed her neck, but did not use force.

Carroll froze in fear, while Liz and the others nervously pointed their guns at Kakuzu.

There was no other way; they had no weapons other than guns.

“With just a flick of my wrist, you’ll be a corpse.” Sue looked at Carol. “You want evidence? This is the evidence!”

“I told you, I’m taking him away. You can’t stop me no matter what price you pay. If you don’t believe me, when Damon breaks the seal and rescues the person he wants to save, you will naturally see the other vampires. But what happens to the town then is none of our business.”

Chapter 425 One thing, eat at three places!

Carol took a deep breath and said firmly, "Perhaps what you say is true, but the purpose of my bounty on Damon is to kill him and avenge my husband. I can't let him go just because of your few words."

"If you want to kill me, then do it. I will absolutely not let Damon go!"

Looking at Carol, who was resolute in the face of death and refused to compromise, Su laughed: "You seem to have misunderstood something. I don't need your consent to take Damon away!"

Su grabbed Carol by the neck with one hand and gently flung the other hand toward Damon.

"Ding!"

A crisp clanging sound rang out, and the iron handcuffs binding Damon's hands snapped instantly. Damon staggered to the ground and hurriedly got up.

"They injected me with verbena," Damon weakly reminded him, leaning against the wall for support.

Verbena is a non-lethal poison for a vampire like Damon. Although it won't kill him, it's extremely painful and will leave him very weak.

How weak was he?

You stab him, and he screams and twitches, then watches helplessly as you jump around on his body with the knife in your hand!

Damon had a much higher dose of verbena in his body than Stefan, and it was already quite an achievement that he could still stand up by holding onto the wall.

“Quick, kill him…kill him!” Carroll shouted at Liz and the other police officers.

Liz hesitated, after all, Carol was still in Kakuzu's hands, and if she angered him, Carol would be in danger.

"Don't worry about me, kill Damon, kill him!!!" Seeing Liz's hesitation, Carroll was now truly desperate and ready to die.

Or rather, he got carried away.

In normal circumstances, or when she was calm, even if Carol didn't want to let Damon go, she would definitely prioritize her own safety.

It's normal for people to be afraid of death.

Of course, revenge should be taken, but we can always think of another way later.

However, Carol is currently being threatened by Kakuzu on one hand, and rescued by someone right after capturing her enemy on the other. These various emotions have caused her to completely lose her temper.

However, Liz didn't get carried away. To her, Carol was much more important than Damon. Even if Damon was rescued, she would have a chance to catch him again.

When Carroll saw that Liz refused to fire, she prepared to urge her further, but then Sue waved her hand and threw her directly towards Liz and the others.

Carroll crashed into Liz, and the two fell to the ground.

Immediately afterward, Sue flashed to Damon's side and lifted him up as if he were a chick, while saying to Liz and Carol, "You two should think carefully about the matter of the tomb vampires. I will come to find you again!"

After saying that, Su and Damon quickly submerged into the ground and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Carol, struggling to her feet, looked at Kakuzu and Damon who had disappeared, then turned to Liz and complained, "Why didn't you shoot? Your guns and bullets were special models, especially the bullets which were made of wood. One shot would have killed Damon instantly!"

"Then we need to aim for the head and heart!"

"He can't move. With so many of you and so many guns, is it really that hard to kill him by firing all at once?"

Liz shook her head, trying to dissuade the agitated Carol: "We can kill Damon, and Kakuzu can kill you too. We don't need to take any risks before we figure out Kakuzu and the Akatsuki organization. Besides, if we can put a bounty on Damon once, we can do it again. If you give up on taking revenge yourself, you can put a bounty on his life."

"The most important thing is what Kakuzu said. If a large number of vampires are indeed sealed in the tomb beneath the old church, and Damon's goal is to break the seal, then Mysterious Falls is in danger..."

Carol gradually calmed down and took a deep breath: "I'll go find the Su family."

"I'll go find Caroline and Elena and ask them to help me find out about the Akatsuki."

Carroll and Liz left the basement and went their separate ways.

On the other hand, after rescuing Damon, Sue parted ways with him. If Damon couldn't come up with the $50 million buyout fee within a week, Sue would return Damon to Carol.

To be honest, Su's involvement in this matter under a pseudonym is somewhat like a battle of wits with himself, like playing house, with one person playing different roles.

But actually?

One thing happened, and the Su family ate at three different places.

First, there's Catherine, whose goal is to help Damon rescue the vampires sealed in the tomb, and then assist the committee in eliminating all vampires.

Next is Damon, whose task is relatively simpler, namely rescuing him. However, given the current situation, there is a high probability that Damon will entrust him with rescuing Catherine.

Finally, there's the committee, which consists of Carol and Liz, who can help them eliminate the vampires in the cemetery.

What is this called?

One fish, three ways!

Damon paid $50 million, Catherine paid $50 million, and there was also a committee whose price hadn't been negotiated. In one deal, they easily made over $100 million.

Although Su Shi didn't care about this small amount of money, this battle solidified the reputation of the Akatsuki organization and established Kakuzu's persona.

As long as people believe in the existence of Akatsuki and Kakuzu, Damon and other future Akatsuki members can fill in the gaps and solidify the Akatsuki organization.

· ····Requesting flowers·· ······

Once the Akatsuki organization develops, whether it's issuing bounties or being issued bounties, the Su family will be able to obtain countless pieces of information about 'villains' and 'plot'!

After all, the Akatsuki organization wasn't founded for vampires. There's still a lot of story to be explored in this world. Unless it's something they really want to do, given the Su family's current reputation and situation, it's unlikely they'll wander around aimlessly like before to trigger new story events.

After removing Kakuzu's disguise, Su teleported back home.

Unlike the quiet of the previous two days, after the mission to capture Damon ended, the ninjas who came for the mission gathered together.

Nidi, Chris, Ricky, Nagini, Elena, Jessica, and Caroline are all gathered together. Although there are humans, demon children, demon jinchūriki, werewolves, vampires, and blood curse holders who can transform into snakes among them, they now have only one common identity: ninjas!

.... 0 0

Su had only exchanged a few words with them when Carol and Liz, who had originally gone their separate ways, came together and came to her door.

Carol was somewhat dissatisfied. She had paid money, but the person had just been delivered and then rescued. Moreover, both the person who captured her and the person who rescued her were ninjas, and they were all members of the Su clan. Wasn't this deliberately ripping people off?

Su's answer to this was very simple.

Is this a scam?

Do I need your $300,000?

Was the mission to capture Damon? Did the ninja who accepted the mission capture Damon and hand him over to you personally? Once he's handed over to you, the mission is complete. As for someone else rescuing Damon while he's in your hands, that's your business and has nothing to do with the mission!

After all, this mission was completed in accordance with the rules!

Although Damon was rescued, he still had to be paid for the mission, since he had completed it.

Carol's complaints and dissatisfaction were not really about demanding an explanation. She accepted the current outcome and said that she only wanted the Su family to help her in other ways, considering that she had worked so hard for nothing.

First it was Damon, then Kakuzu, and now even more vampires have been dragged into it. Carol hopes to repair the relationship between the committee and the Sue family, and ideally, get the Sue family back into the committee.

"Are there really a large number of vampires sealed in the tomb beneath the old church?"

Chapter 426 Catherine Wants to Join Akatsuki!

Grove Hill, Alabama.

The sun is shining and the wind is beautiful.

Wearing the disguise of Kakuzu, Su knocked on the door of a house at the address given by Catherine.

"Bang bang bang."

The knocking sounded at the door, neither hurried nor slow.

After confirming the vampires in the church cemetery yesterday in her true form, Carol wanted to issue another bounty to the Exchange Shop through the Sue family, with the bounty being the complete annihilation of the vampires in the cemetery.

Ms. Su politely declined.

Posting a bounty at the exchange isn't impossible, but Carol simply can't come up with a bounty of that level in a short period of time.

Moreover, even if she had enough money to issue a bounty, no ninja would accept the mission. In the end, only Kakuzu and Damon would accept it. In that case, it would be better to have Carol directly request the mission from Kakuzu.

As a form of 'friendly compensation' for Carol's wasted time and effort on the previous mission, the Su family is willing to help Carol with asset mortgaging.

Although Carole doesn't have cash, the Lockwood family, as the founding family of Mysterious Falls, her husband was the mayor, and there's also a hidden werewolf family, so she does have wealth, though it's difficult to liquidate it in a short time.
