The Vampire Project

Chapter 17

"Finally the moment we"ve all been waiting for. Let me introduce to you the new head of the Human Resources Department. Let"s give her a warm welcome, Miss Sofie Demonfire." As Sofie head to the center stage, everyone"s reaction was beyond her expectation. They were speechless seeing her on the stage. She feels like they"ve seen a ghost or something.

"Oh my, I didn"t expect you guys to be this silent. Anyways, thank you for introducing me. As the head of the HR department, I will review the performance of all working personnel and talents that"s been in the company 5 years ago. If you think you"ve done well so far you don"t have to be nervous about being fired the moment I step inside my office." Seeing their reactions, she giggled diverting their attention to her beautiful face. "What"s with that reaction, for sure all of you worked hard. This company won"t be where it is now without your hardwork. Don"t worry too much, I"m not gonna bite. Unless you want me to." She winks teasingly making the boys go wild over her.

"The new head is a beauty! I"ll work hard even more knowing there"s someone like her now."

"Will she agree on dating me?"

"Forget about it! You"re not even fit to stand beside her."

"I"ll marry her if I can!" The crowd starts to feel alive and can"t wait to see the other heads of each department.

"If our new HR head is that gorgeous I"m gonna keep making mistakes to be called into her office."

"You"re a famous host, you don"t have to do such things to get my attention. Your performance for the past few months was quite astounding." Sofie kisses the MC"s cheek and walks back to her seat giggling. Then she looks at Slacovich who"s frowning. She gave him a sweet smile before she sits back on her chair.

"Sorry guys, I guess I"m already ahead by a point. Let"s keep going. The Accounting Department have been quite in a miserable state right now after the past head fakes a doc.u.ment stating expenses made for an invested film. Will the new head of the Accounting department settle the accounts well this time? Please come to the stage Mr. Diego Demonfire." Diego calmly walks to the stage and s.n.a.t.c.hes the microphone from the MC.

"I"ve heard of the current situation of the Accounting department. I"ve already verified some legal accounts and investigated fraud accounts which doesn"t some up for the total expenses done for the past 2 years. This time all finances must be signed by the president and will be seconded by me. Unnecessary expenses is prohibited. We must invest wisely and make use of all our resour before purchasing new ones. Money isn"t really a problem, but the people ent.i.tled with such authority if not punished will always cause troubles in the future. I"ll be just doing my job as head. Outside the company, thatsr a different story." Diego waved to the crowd and girls starts screaming. He smiles charmingly making them blush as he head back to his seat.


"Hearing that from him, I guess this company"s getting more exciting. We"ve got a gorgeous HR head and now a very handsome Accounting head. That"s just two out of 7. I won"t keep you waiting let"s welcome the head of the Public Relations Department Mr. Harry Demonfire." Dr. Harry"s not used to be in public. Being isolated on the island for 5 years and just work his b.u.t.t off. The attention given to him by the crowd is something new.

"As the new head of the PR department, my only focus is the company"s well-being." He then walks back to his seat embarra.s.sed. The crowd claps to show respect to the new head.

"Well short and direct. He"s perfectly fit to be the new head of the PR department heh. And now, everyone"s wondering who bought 68% of the total shares of the company. Making him the new owner and CEO. Together with his personal Secretary. Let me introduce to you President Slacovich Demonfire and Secretary Li Demonfire." The MC moves to the side giving all the stage to them. Slacovich fixes his suit and tie then head for the stage having Li behind him. Slacovich"s cold personality is scary but his handsome face and masculine body"s enough to make the women stare at him like his naked. Li"s asian features makes her shine too.

"Everyone, it"s a great honor to stand before you. The company"s achievements were very amusing. But, I won"t just stand here and stop growing. I"ll lead this company to a brand new light. The Entertainment industry sure is a good investment but I plan to expand the range of the company. Before that, Heaven"s Tears Entertainment will become Demon"s Fangs Entertainment. Like Demons lurking in the night seeking for a prey, I will make sure to surpa.s.s other companies and swallow them whole if they try to bring us down. We aren"t afraid of the light, for we act not to harm the weak but to help them succeed. The company will be hiring even more capable personnel for our other affiliates. Demon"s Fangs Entertainment belongs to Demonfire Group of Companies." Slacovich stops his speech as he saw a familiar figure in the crowd. Clapping his hands loudly as he chuckle, Volton h.e.l.lgazer together with Dr. Spencer crashed the party uninvited.

"I"ve got to witness this fine man"s word. I"ll be glad to work with you President Demonfire." He glared at Slacovich while grinning like a devil.

"President h.e.l.lgazer, what brings you here? For all I know, I didn"t invite you. Care to tell me what you want?" Slacovich and the rest if the Demonfire members stands up being on guard.

"I didn"t come here to quarrel with you. I"m here to welcome you as well. Here"s a gift from as a token of my appreciation. It"s not easy to meddle into someone elses business but who made it and s.n.a.t.c.hed up the biggest entertainment company here in L.A. I must commend you for that." Volton h.e.l.lgazer signals Dr. Spencer to give the present to President Demonfire. Li steps up and accepts it herself.

"You don"t have to send me a gift but I"ll accept it out if respect. Now that you"re here why not stay and enjoy the rest if the night with us. We will surely treat you well. You"re an important guest for tonight." Slacovich walks down the stage and faces Volton right on. Volton"s men stands behind him while Sofie and the others backs Slacovich. Ara and Tyler are about to join them but Sofie stops them and winks at them. Both of them knows what to do and just starts gossiping to divert the crowd"s attention.

"I"ve heard President h.e.l.lgazer is a man of conviction. Maybe President Demonfire caught his attention and wants to merge with the company. What do you think?" Ara whispers to the girl beside her who happens to be a great gossiper.

"You thinks so? Oh my gosh, no wonder the atmosphere"s so intense. This is once in a lifetime opportunity to see the reigning king of the business world and the rookie." The girl then starts blabbering making a fuss on the crowd. The others also recognized the men behind President h.e.l.lgazer who"re known for their stone fists when it comes to dealing with important clients.

"Aren"t they called The Four Reapers of Satan?"

"Is that them? Oh my gosh how creepy and scary. The name itself gives me chills already." Ara starts showing off her acting skills.

"Hey hey, if President h.e.l.lgazer have reapers, how about our President?" Tyler sneaks up behind Ara, joining the gossiping.

"You"re right, the girl beside President h.e.l.lgazer must be his personal Secretary. Our President has one too. Also what a coincidence, there"s four of the new department heads too. This is quite exciting." The girl can"t hold back her mouth and makes a great p.a.w.n to start off a public discussion.

"Who named President h.e.l.lgazer"s group?" Tyler asked keeping close to Ara. As she tries to ignore him not to blow up their cover yet Tyler keeps on teasing her.

"Well, the clients they"ve been working with described how cold blooded they handle transactions. One of the clients quoted it with "My company"s soul has been taken by the reapers" that marked the start of the Four Reapers of Satan. They do business pretty seriously."

"In that case, what would match the Reapers?" Ara secretly shrug off Tyler"s hand on her waist.

"A Demon itself can be a hunter right?" Tyler winks at the girl which makes her fl.u.s.ter.

"The Four Reapers of Satan can be hunted by demons itself? Wait a minute. OMG!! I must post this on my social media." She took a photo of President h.e.l.lgazer"s group and President Demonfire"s group. She captioned it. "When Satan and his Reapers meets the Demons!" Her post went trending just by a few minutes. It"s the hottest topic for that night and everyone"s talking about it on social media. Then they started calling President Demonfire"s group The Four Hunters of h.e.l.l. Some takes it a rivalry between businessmen, others think of it as a public strategy and others are just fangirling every hottie on the photo.

That night marks the declaration of the hidden war between the Demonfire and the h.e.l.lgazer. No oner knows exactly that the conflict doesn"t lie on the business world but far beyond that. No one in the modern society will believe that vampires truly exist. They"re just bunch of an old man"s tale, a fictional character to scare away naughty children.

"President Demonfire, I guess I"ll let you enjoy your own party. My stay here already ruined the mood. I don"t wanna be an eye sore. An old man like me should instead help the young ones succeed." Volton offers a hand.

"President h.e.l.lgazer, you"re a man of conviction. I might think of you as a role model and follow the path you paved in this business world." He accepts his hand and smiles. No one knows that behind that act lies a test of strength between the two. President h.e.l.lgazer let"s go first, obviously felt hurt by President Demonfire"s tight grip on his hand. He then bid his goodbye at the party and told his men to retreat. When the h.e.l.lgazers are out of sight they resumed the party and breaks the uneasiness of the people attending it. President Demonfire told the MC to proceed with the program and let"s everyone enjoy the food and drinks. Slacovich sits down sighing in relief as he looks down on his hand with burn marks from Volton"s hand shake. Seems like Volton is far more stronger than he is. He managed to hide the pain and continue with Volton"s game. Dr. Harry checked on his hand and whether he"s feeling something else. Sofie asked Slacovich to head back first to the mansion but he insisted on finishing the party. He must show strength in front of everyone. Who knows a spy was already planted in the company. They must be cautious all the time to avoid any suspicion. Now that h.e.l.lgazer shows up the moment they made an appearance, what happend a while ago was just the beginning. Something more will come for sure and they must be well prepared for it. The only key to find a spy in a crowd is to set a spy of their own. Tyler and Ara will play a great role in this hunt.
