Chapter 88: Velshekar’s scheme
«You are seriously asking me if I believe in the supernatural and in dark powers beyond human comprehension? I didn’t agree to meet with you to talk about witchcraft and children’s fairy tales. I would rather focus on business, Miss Levreshka Hawkley,» Nikolai Orlova comments.
He is a Russian man in his seventies—the most powerful and dangerous boss of the Russian mafia.
The woman he is addressing is a breathtaking beauty in her thirties, with long silver hair and bangs just above her icy blue eyes.
She is now known as Levreshka Hawkley.
But in truth, she is Velshekar, inside the body of the vampire Levreshka Dulcar.
She introduced herself as the widow of the late John Hawkley—the alias Velshekar once used as the boss of New York’s criminal underworld, before Shin Tendo destroyed that body months ago.
They are sitting in the lavish living room of Nikolai Orlova’s immense villa, located in the remote port city of Vladivostok, in eastern Russia.
Velshekar is seated on a luxurious sofa, while Nikolai sits across from her.
Standing right behind Velshekar are Lurek—her right-hand man, who in human form looks like a two-meter-tall mountain of muscle—and a woman named Clarissa, with a stern and professional air, long burgundy hair tied in a bun, glasses, and classic secretary attire, holding a tablet.
All around them, dozens of Nikolai’s henchmen keep their guns aimed at the three.
«It may sound strange and out of place to you, but my question is perfectly relevant to the reason for my visit,» Velshekar replies coldly, her unsettling gaze fixed on his eyes.
