The old bartender drank while trembling, and tried several times to pry open the bottle. Finally, Donny helped him open it and urged the old bartender to continue.
During that time, the old bartender's father was really crazy. He secretly captured vampires for experiments, hiding during the day and coming out at night, trying to study the secret of vampire immortality and estimate the possibility of transferring this ability to himself.
According to the information deciphered from the human skin cloth, he captured a large number of vampires and ordinary people for experiments. He had fallen into a state of hysteria and abandoned everything in order to become a god.
"I was just a few years old at that time. Logically, I should have been marked and became a member of the Hagui tribe, but at that time no one cared about a little kid who knew nothing. Everyone was attracted to my father." said the old bartender.
The vampires finally discovered something unusual about the old bartender's house and secretly sent people to investigate, eventually finding the answer. To get the true deciphered content, they still pretended not to know and even created various coincidences to provide a convenient hunting ground for the old bartender's father and send more experimental subjects over.
Finally, when he deciphered the last text, the vampires finally took action. They rushed into the old bartender's family under the cover of night, slaughtered them, and wiped out their entire clan overnight.
Only the old bartender survived because his father sent him out of the escape passage in advance.
"That old guy knew he was being watched all along. He knew everything," the old bartender said. "He was deliberately conducting research and showing the results to the vampires to lure them in and help him with his research. He's well aware of the vampires' movements, otherwise he wouldn't have sent me out early on the night of the attack. The timing was perfect."
"But you just said that your father has gone crazy trying to become a god. There is no reason for him to put himself in danger." Donnie said. He felt that the old bartender was hiding something.
The old bartender shook his head, a puzzled look on his face. "I've never been able to figure it out all these years. He knows everything. He clearly wants everything, but why does he seem to have given up everything?"
Donnie looked at him and said nothing. He had a lot of thoughts in his mind.
Someone had plotted against him, forcing him to fight the vampires. He had initially thought they were just using the vampires to get rid of him, or to weaken them. He had even suspected it was someone from S.H.I.E.L.D. or Hydra, but now that he thought about it, there was something deeper at play.
Donny was guided to the vampire stronghold, to find the old bartender, and then tied him up, thus learning about the vampire clan's plan to create a god.
The vampires captured the old bartender and threw him into their base because they needed him. However, the old bartender was in his hands and it was impossible for Donny to throw him away unless it was absolutely necessary.
Perfectly opposite ends were thus formed, with the old bartender acting as the lever in the middle.
Donny asked the old bartender what the big shot of the Thompson family took from him?
"It's the last piece of human skin cloth, and it's in my necklace. I've been wearing it since I was a child. It wasn't until they found me that I realized there was such an important thing in the necklace." The old bartender said that he had a hard life over the years, hiding from people and changing his identity, for fear that the vampires would come to him, but he was found in the end.
Donnie's face looked extremely ugly. He was being dominated from beginning to end and was extremely passive.
The mysterious guy knew his abilities, and had analyzed a lot from just a few battles, and understood what he needed. At the same time, that guy also knew about the vampire's internal god-making plan - this kind of confidential information could not be known to everyone.
This is very scary. The mysterious man has an overwhelming advantage in intelligence. He can even get information about things that only the vampire high-level officials know. This allows that person to calmly make plans and plot against Donny and the vampires, making them completely opposed and irreconcilable.
"Since you are so important,
Why didn't the Thompson family imprison you secretly, but instead threw you into a stronghold? "Donnie was filled with doubts and a little anxious. He had never been eaten so hard before and was at an absolute disadvantage.
He has never had this kind of experience before, and it's very troublesome.
The old bartender said he didn't know. The big shot sent his men to search for his necklace and then threw him in the bar. He said he would come to find him in a while and warned him not to try to escape, otherwise he would die a miserable death.
"In exchange for food and alcohol, I started working as a bartender in that bar. I've been hiding from people for the past few decades, mostly in various small bars and black factories, so I'm pretty good at mixing drinks." The old bartender explained, opening the third bottle of beer. He hadn't drunk so happily in a long time, unlike when he was with the vampires, where he had to sleep with one eye open, afraid that a vampire would come in the middle of the night and take him as blood food.
Donny walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, looking very anxious, even with sweat on his forehead. Some of the details were terrifying when he thought about them carefully.
The key to the matter is the murdered administrator. New York is a vast city with more than one junkyard around. So the question is, are all the administrators problematic or have been swapped, or is it only the one who was killed who has a problem?
Well, even if that guy used psychology and psychological models to estimate the junkyard that Donny was most likely to go to based on his usual habits - which was nothing in the field of modern psychology - the murdered manager was waiting for Donny specifically to give him this address and guide him to find the old bartender, but how could he be sure that Donny would go there?
Donnie could have used the dumbest method possible, buying a scrap car and reassembling it himself, instead of looking for a modification guru. Or maybe he could have just carefully observed the car for a few days and discovered the problem.
The reality is, no, Donny didn't do that at all, he just walked in carelessly.
Donnie was sweating profusely. He smiled bitterly, opened a bottle of beer and drank it by himself.
The choice is very simple. There are countless bars in New York. These are only those with business licenses and opened by people with connections. How many small bars, private bars, and bars within gangs are there?
Donny was driving Optimus Prime. All the cell phones and watches on him were carefully modified by him using the Allspark, and when assembled together, they could withstand the attack of rocket launchers. Would Donny be so cautious and nervous because of a tiny bar?
Impossible. There are so many bars in New York City, so many to count. Could it be that Donny, a high-level mutant with an army of mutants, has to observe every bar for several days before entering it? Is he always cautious and trembling with fear?
If bars are like this, what about other KTVs, shops, and restaurants? Why not go there? I might as well just stay at home for the rest of my life and find a secluded place in the mountains. Not to mention that Donny is a young man, full of blood and impulsive, and he would roll up his sleeves and rush into things in a hurry.
"I finally understand why every year a lot of masters and PhDs commit suicide after being defrauded of their money. They specifically target those who lack relevant experience and are easily impulsive." Donny was very angry. He had never been so passive in his two lives and was used as a gun to this extent.
The key is that he doesn't even know who is plotting against him.
The old bartender was lying in the corner, fast asleep. Beside him were a pile of wine bottles, some of which were only half-drunk and gurgling on the ground.
Donnie looked at the old bartender with a somewhat uncertain expression.
He and the vampire were like two ends of a scale, and they both had their reasons for getting the old bartender. The vampire needed to torture the old bartender for some details and information, while Donny had already confronted the vampire, so he would not let the old bartender reveal his information. He also needed to hold the old bartender as a bargaining chip to threaten the vampire.
The old bartender is the scale on the balance, and it is destined that the two parties cannot reach a deal through the old bartender.
Now Donny has another option.
Kill the old bartender and break the scale completely.
