6: Lucien was no longer calm.

Lucien wiped the playful expression off his face and set Locke down.

He wasn't stupid; seeing Locke so calm in the face of death, he naturally associated it with those highly lethal weapons developed against the Werewolf Clan. Although they weren't common, they weren't impossible to obtain if one was determined enough.

Otherwise, he couldn't understand why Locke was able to remain so composed.

Under normal circumstances, with their powerful physique, the Werewolf Clan could force out ordinary bullets and even silver bullets.

However, once silver nitrate bullets were shot into the body, they would melt into liquid silver, significantly increasing the lethality.

Furthermore, if they were shot into the heart or other vital areas, even with the terrifying regenerative abilities of the Werewolf Clan, it would be hopeless.

Additionally, even if Locke didn't have silver nitrate bullets in his gun, he dared not take that gamble right now.

Because if there was even the slightest possibility, it would be his Werewolf Clan that lost.

And Locke knew this, which was why he dared to act so boldly, even if his gun didn't actually contain silver nitrate bullets.

Because he dared to gamble, but Lucien dared not.

At the same time, relying on his memory of the original story and his understanding of Lucien as a character, he was certain that the other party would not gamble his life with him.

In a certain sense, the other party could be considered a protagonist in the entire Underworld.

After this incident, the tense atmosphere in the clinic diminished significantly.

After their brief exchange, Lucien felt that based on Locke's current performance, they could cooperate. He stepped up and sat on the table: "How do you want to cooperate?"

Seeing that the other party had taken the bait, Locke didn't hold back: "I know why you came. I can give you my blood, but in return, you must give me a vial of your blood. At the same time, you must help me put on a show so that I can infiltrate the Vampire Clan."

"My blood for yours, that deal is acceptable. But why should I help you put on a show?" Lucien said nonchalantly, playing with a pencil on the table.

"It's simple, because we have a common enemy." Locke replied calmly: "Helping me is helping yourself."

Of course, he wasn't lying.

Because Lucien's most hated enemy was Victor, and in order to complete the Underworld mission, he would inevitably have to become an enemy of the Vampire Clan elder, Victor.

Furthermore, he probably couldn't easily deal with the Vampires on his own right now, so borrowing the power of the Werewolf Clan was perfect.

"A common enemy?" Lucien rubbed his chin and asked instinctively: "Could it be that you also have a grudge against the Vampire Clan?"

"I have a grudge against Victor. I am infiltrating the Vampires specifically to kill him." Locke leaned against the window, turning his head to look into the distance.

"Not just him, I also want to kill Marcus. Such an evil race as the Vampires should not exist in this world."

"Ha, you want to kill Marcus and Victor?" Lucien thought he was being fanciful, and his face involuntarily showed skepticism: "Even if you obtained my power and became a werewolf, you likely wouldn't be a match for those two old monsters. If you were to face them, you would probably be torn to shreds in an instant."

"How would you know unless you try?" Locke turned his head, looking at him calmly, and said confidently: "Besides, how can you be sure I don't have other means?"

When he said this, Lucien fell into silence: "That's true, how do you know if it's possible unless you try?"

And in order to get Lucien to believe him as quickly as possible, and at the same time complete the system's extra mission, he revealed more things he knew.

"Besides, cooperating with me is much better than cooperating with the Vampire Kraven."

"Huh?" Lucien was truly shocked this time; his heart skipped a beat, and he immediately stood up from the table.

His originally calm face immediately became serious, and he stared straight at Locke: "How do you know about this?"

Logically speaking, apart from him and Kraven, no one else knew about this. Therefore, the moment Locke said it, he was so surprised.

"I know many things. And if I can know, the Vampires will eventually find out too." Locke ignored his cold, piercing gaze, spread his hands, and continued: "You have to know that Kraven is a Vampire after all. He can even betray his own kind; aren't you afraid of being stabbed in the back if you cooperate with him? Since that's the case, why not cooperate with me instead?"

"Kraven is nothing but a defeated opponent of mine. Does he have the ability to betray me?" Lucien sneered, a trace of disdain flashing across his face.

The possibility of Kraven betraying him wasn't non-existent, but in his view, since he could defeat the opponent once, he could defeat him a second time. This was the confidence he should have as the leader of the Werewolf Clan.

But Lucien did not know that if things continued like this, only death awaited him.

Locke shook his head upon hearing this, finally understanding why Lucien fell to Kraven's gun at the end of the movie. In short: it was his nature.

Perhaps it was because of Lucien's great victory over Kraven back then, which made him look down on this person from the bottom of his heart, causing him to behave this way.

"There is nothing impossible in this world." In order to persuade the other party as quickly as possible, Locke, seemingly nonchalant but actually doing it on purpose, threw out another bombshell.

"If even Victor could execute his own daughter, Sophia, it wouldn't be surprising if Kraven betrayed a werewolf like you."

"You... who exactly are you!" Lucien was enraged by having his wound exposed. He clenched his fists, with signs of transforming, but calmed down in the next second.

Locke witnessed the whole process, and seeing the other party calm down, he breathed a sigh of relief. This proved that he had gambled correctly.

"Who I am is not important. What's important is that it seems, Mr. Lucien, you have figured it out. As long as you cooperate with me, I guarantee I can kill Victor for you."

Lucien looked into his eyes, let out a long breath, and his expression returned to calm: "How do you want to cooperate?"

"It's simple, you only need to..." Locke then proceeded to explain the plan he had concocted based on the original plot, detailing it one by one.

The plan was simple: pretend to be hunted by the Werewolf Clan, and then gain the trust of Selene.

While obtaining her blood and transforming into a Hybrid, look for opportunities in the Vampire Clan's base to kill Victor and Marcus.

As for Emilia, one of the three elders, she was not in his consideration for the time being. Whether to kill her or not was optional, or even subduing her to use as a puppet to control the Vampire Clan was not impossible.

The focus of this mission was still on gaining the trust of Selene.

As long as he could win over Selene, he could rely on her memories to find the castle where the original werewolf ancestor, William, was imprisoned.

After killing him, he would be able to over-complete the Underworld mission.

Locke believed that since the beginner rewards were so generous, the items given after completing this mission would definitely be even better.

By then, he would surely have the strength to contend with the mastermind who caused his death, and he wouldn't have to live in hiding anymore.

At the very least, he would have more means to protect his life in this American Horror Story World.

"Very well." Seeing that his plan was so meticulous, Lucien agreed.

Subsequently, Locke skillfully handed him a syringe and a vial of Michael's blood that had been prepared long ago.

Lucien looked at the fresh blood in the test tube, his pupils shrinking involuntarily: "You had this ready long ago. Were you so sure that I would cooperate with you?"

Locke nodded expressionlessly. "I believe, Mr. Lucien, that you are a sensible person. Cooperating with me has a hundred benefits and no harm; how could you refuse?"

His calm reaction immediately made Lucien realize, in hindsight, the matter of him shooting Kruto.

Even though he had experienced many storms, he couldn't help but feel a surge of turmoil in his heart: "No way... could it be that he knew I would come today? Is this something an ordinary person could do..."

Looking at the composed Locke, a flash of inexplicable surprise crossed Lucien's eyes for a few seconds. Then, he involuntarily opened his mouth wide and stared at Locke, confirming: "So, you fired that shot on purpose this morning just to lure me over so you could negotiate with me?"

This would also resolve his doubts. According to Kruto's description, he felt that Locke could have clearly killed Kruto with two shots this morning, but he didn't do so.

After reaching a cooperation agreement with Locke, it all made sense. It was that Locke never intended to be an enemy of them from the beginning.

Locke nodded and replied unhurriedly: "I didn't know where your base was, so naturally, I had to use some small tricks to make you, Mr. Lucien, come to find me yourself."

He was not surprised by Lucien's belated reaction. Lucien was not angry about being schemed against; instead, he made no secret of the admiration in his eyes and became deeply interested in him: "Good tactic, Michael, you truly have good tactics. You are worthy of being a descendant of the Corvin Clan."

"I am not a descendant of the Corvin Clan; I don't have such ancestors." Locke stated the truth dismissively.

Because he was indeed not a descendant of the Corvin Clan; what did Michael's business have to do with him, Locke Galahad?
