Multi-Gene

Bam!

As soon as their attacks met, it was like an explosion had gone off in that small office. David groaned slightly and he was immediately rebounded back.

He felt as if he had punched an iron steel wall even more thicker than the one he had punched through on the ceiling.

His fist even had a few scratches on the surface but only white marks was revealed on his fist, no blood dripped out of it.

The old man's body shook but he immediately stabilised his body but the Cryogenic pod he was standing on instantly exploded and multiple pieces flew about in the small office.

The wrinkled face of the Old man couldn't help but wrinkle more if it could even get more wrinkler.

He hadn't expected David's strength to be at such a degree. What made him even more angry was the fact that he had gotten this Cryogenic pod for an astronomical amount of money and connections but now, it had been destroyed into multiple pieces.

And from the destruction, no genius was needed to know that there wasn't any chance repairing the Cryogenic pod. It was no different from scrap metal now.

His blood red eyes instantly shone in anger as he instantly pounced forwards.

His speed was fast, extremely fast to the extent that its trajectory and displacement was completely unreadable.

But David smiled, instead of being afraid. He didn't stand on ceremony either and without warning, he pounced sideways, his movements, like a cyclone.

Clenching his fist, he sent a fist to his left side which was weird since the Old man's blur was still in front of him, if a human was to judge the situation clearly.

Bang!

The same explosion sounded out, but this time, David was pushed four steps backwards, trying to counter the force that had passed through his body.

The old man's movement paused slightly but in a split second, he continued as he pursued David's figure like a moving phantom.

In a blink of an eye, both figures exchanged a couple of blows and from an outsider's point of view, David was at a complete disadvantage.

The old man's strength continued to increase as the force in his swipes also increased in strength.

David's fists had already turned red but it wasn't to the point of bleeding but the scratches on his fist had m increased.

His flesh and muscles was strong enough to hold in such torture without splitting apart yet.

Suddenly, the oldman retreated as the look he was using to stare at David changed.

"I have to admit, you are quite strong for a Spryher in this level of blood cycle." The old man said.

"Thanks for the compliment." David shrugged.

"But you sure are naive to think you can defeat me by exhausting my strength." The old man sneered.

David frowned, that was what he had truly been planning.

The old man had just woken up from a deep sleep so he should be quite weak and should also be getting weaker by the moment but seeing as the oldman had seen through his trick, he questioned. " What are you planning?"

"Hahaha. You should know it took me a lot of time, effort and resources to genetically modify and edit my gene according to the ancient formula. Now that I have successfully modified myself, do you think I will give myself a chance to fail right at the critical stage?" the old man laughed mockingly.

And immediately, he suddenly tapped his imprint.

David's eyes darkened as he immediately exploded into a retreat since his back was facing the entrance.

As he was about to exit, there was a sudden bang and the steel door of the entrance closed in that instant.

But David didn't seem as though he saw the door, his body instantly smashed the door.

Boom!

But what David had been hoping for didn't happen.

He was immediately repeled back by the steel door. It was no ordinary steel, it was definitely made of a special material which david could not recognise.

Taking his eyes off the door, his gaze was expressionless as he stared at the grinning old man.

"Do not worry little fellow, I will make sure you feel good as I suck the life out of you." The old man grinned sinisterly, his sharp canine was revealed and his strength was increasing instead of decreasing.

David's eyebrows twitched as he mumbled "Dammit, a Vampire this soon?"

The old man who was about to move suddenly froze and the expression on his face was suddenly horrified as he almost shouted "How do you know that name!?"

Without waiting for David to answer he pointed at David. "Who are you?"

David wasn't as ignorant as he was a few weeks ago. He knew that saying the names of any ancient beast or men of myth outside was basically courting death.

He had just hoped to wither away the old man's concentration.

He then sneered as he stared at the old man. "What? Vampire?"

Walking forward in a slow but steady manner. "You think yourself a vampire? You can't even compare to a halfling, what gives you the right to claim a vampire?"

The old man suddenly sneered as he seemed to have regained his composure and he replied. "Just because you know the Mythological name of my genetic mod, doesn't mean you know the traits and characteristics."

David suddenly burst into laughter as he snickered "You are the one is truly naive. Blood red eyes, protruding fangs, retractable claws and a silent heartbeat. Those are the traits of a vampire."

The old man suddenly cut David off as he snorted. "Just because you know doesn't mean anyone can replicate it. In the past few centuries, I am the only known man to have ever truly been genetically engineered into a true blooded Vampire."

"Do you know how long it took me to modify and create a gene that could make my heartbeat silent?" the old man questioned but without waiting for David's answer, he continued as anxiously said.

"Almost a century! Those glass tanks outside is a testament to my experiments. Even the government funded my research and experiments as soon as they saw the make up. I am destined to be great and nothing is going to stop it." The old man forcefully said with gritted teeth.

It was true. He had met a high ranking officer and had shown him his plans and the outline of it.

He was immediately funded for his research and was provided with everything he needed. If not, he wouldn't even be able to reach anywhere in his research.. Which also explained the massive amount of Void Steel used in protecting the room from scanners and detection equipments.
