Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!-Chapter 97: That family house...

The main area of the city is divided into several categories: the commercial part, the tourist part, the residential part, and finally, the central part.

In the residential area, there are many small mansions where high-level nobles live. This area is usually quiet and very well-guarded.

There are those who say that if you ever want to live in peace, living in the residential area of this city should be one of the best options because there has never been a case of murder in this area.

That is why it is also the area that is least suspected of anything ever happening.

When Matt, Isla, and Alice arrived at the intended location, they understood what those rumors meant.

This was a beautiful place of tranquility.

'Undoubtedly, a good environment to live in.' Matt thought, but a faint rotten smell reached his nose as soon as they descended into the mansion intended for investigation.

Both girls held their noses as they smelled this.

"It's a few days old since they died, so the smell is hardly spreading today... It looks like they haven't investigated this mansion yet." Matt said and walked inside.

He was used to these smells by now, though this time, he could smell a strange odor mixed with putrefaction and blood.

So he stepped forward, and after a quick glance at the garden of the small family mansion, he went to open the door.

He frowned as he was about to put his hand on the handle.

'...This happened several days ago. There are strange fluids on the door. Were they put there to cover up fingerprints?' Matt thought and then opened the door.

His gloves prevented any kind of fluid or foreign thing from touching his hand, so he wasn't worried. Still, the pungent smell that escaped from there when he opened the door and the sight before them made Alice and Isla frown even more and avert their eyes.

Matt frowned, too, but he wasn't as affected.

He looked at the girls behind him, and seeing that they couldn't get in, he spoke to them.

"Wait here and try to keep the smell from spreading. I'll investigate." He said and walked straight in, closing the door behind him so the smell wouldn't spread too much, and he would have time to investigate.

Matt walked over to where the bodies were and frowned as he saw the whole mess.

He looked from side to side in each section of the main part where they had all died before investigating the bodies.

'The man died first; from the scene, I can tell the murder happened in the early morning hours...' He thought.

'Two girls, the older one 10 years old, the younger one about seven years old... ' he thought and then looked at the older woman.

Although it had been several days since they died, the expression of fear, pain, anguish, and hatred on the older woman's face was still visible.

'Damn bastards...' he snarled inside his mind.

Naturally, he could see that the woman had been brutally raped, but not only her... The two little girls as well.

'Never fall into my hand, you fucking bastards. Because if you do... I'll put you through unimaginable torture.' He thought angrily.

He could not say that he was against revenge or murdering someone because he is also an assassin. During his life, he has had to murder many people, although that was not his job when he was on earth.

But, although murdering is 'allowed' in his mind, rape is a crime that Matt has always branded with hatred, even more so if it is to innocent girls.

'One who is capable of raping an innocent is someone who does not deserve to be walking free. Nor can he go to prison. He should be tortured for a thousand years, every day.' He thought as he lightly covered the bodies here.

He couldn't bury them because the smell had already permeated the walls. Eventually, the city guard would come to investigate, and if they found no bodies but the rotten smell, they might launch a massive investigation that he could not easily get rid of.

That's why he had to leave them here; although he took a small chain that the woman and the two girls were wearing, it seemed to be a distinction, but he could see that they had been touched by someone else. That was why he needed to investigate them thoroughly to find the culprit.

Still, he frowned as he planned to leave.

'Poison?' He thought and looked at the bodies of the two adults.

Especially the woman's body.

He bent down and investigated the wounds on the body a bit and frowned as he realized that this poison was somewhat familiar to him...

'I must look into it.' He thought. He cut a piece of meat from a place with poison and froze it with his Ice Curse. Then he put it in his ring and got up.

So, after he had done that, he walked to the adult's quarters.

Investigating there, he found a small iron box that was easy to open, with a small blueprint of a 'construction'.

'A family house...' He thought, and after seeing it a little more thoroughly, he smiled and started walking.

'What a clever way to hide the basement.' He thought as he walked down a staircase.

That blueprint was the construction plan for this house, and it showed a staircase going up in a section where there was nothing.

Anyone who found this would think it was a failed design, but it must have looked different. It was so well protected that it certainly couldn't be a flawed plan, so the ladder was indeed there, just in the opposite direction from what it said there.

And it was.

That's why Matt soon reached the house's basement, which was far below the main house.

Here was something similar to what was in that basement of the mansion away from the city.

It's just that there were only two desks, some magic candles for illumination, and little else.

The desks were cluttered with many scrolls, some older than others.

'A seal?' He thought as he lifted one of the scrolls that was sealed.

'The seal is basic, but it has a unique and interesting touch. Are they an organization?' Matt thought, then grabbed the object they were opening this seal with and opened it.

Soon, he began to read the scrolls that were in this place.

All of them carried different kinds of information; among those, he could see that they sometimes sent information to that mansion on the outskirts of the city.

Even so, he found other things even more interesting.
