"I never expected that the vampires would actually back down."
Wanda's voice was still full of disbelief as she walked out of the vampire's castle.
Only those who have come into contact with the underworld know just how powerful the vampire clan truly is.
But this enormous and ancient power actually bowed down before the Umbrella Corporation.
"They had no choice."
"Although there are quite a few people in various countries who are connected with vampires."
"However, the vast majority of human leaders still harbor an aversion towards vampires."
"The World Security Council backs S.H.I.E.L.D."
"To put it bluntly, S.H.I.E.L.D. is just a front man."
"The rise of the Umbrella Corporation, coupled with the Security Council's intentional or unintentional targeting."
"There is also an internal ideological conflict between the Blade and the old and new vampires."
"The vampire clan is now teetering on the brink of collapse."
Ye Xiangyang was not at all surprised by the vampires' submission.
After all, this had been suspected for some time.
Although the vampire race will not go to the point of extinction.
However, suppressing them is still quite easy.
After all, modern society is developing rapidly.
In the past, humans could only kill vampires by using the sun.
But now, there are no ultraviolet bullets, no toxic substances.
Although vampires are powerful, they lack humans' creativity.
The vampires' long lifespans prevent them from feeling threatened.
In this battle between humans and vampires, they have gradually fallen into a disadvantageous position.
The Umbrella Corporation is the best example.
After all, the roles of hunter and prey have now been reversed.
After dealing with the vampire matter, Ye Xiangyang began preparing for his next experiment.
It's already 2007, and we're only one year away from 2008, the year of the big events.
Despite the support of the Emperor's Armor and the unactivated Five Elements Bloodline within his body.
His abilities across all aspects are more than five times those of the average person.
But it couldn't give Ye Xiangyang a sense of security.
"I wonder what level of power I will reach after activating the Five Elements Bloodline."
"With the Five Elements Bloodline activated and combined with the Five Elements Armor, even Odin could be challenged."
Ye Xiangyang thought to himself.
Although the armor's performance in the TV series looked very poor.
However, the armor's design can actually be compared to the dimensional demons of the Marvel universe.
After all, they are all higher-dimensional beings.
"It's a pity that there are no mutants in this parallel universe; my research wouldn't be so difficult."
Ye Xiangyang sighed.
If mutants existed, his research might have succeeded long ago.
Because among mutants, there are quite a few with special abilities.
In Ye Xiangyang's view, the X gene is a manifestation of the bloodline's awakening.
It's just like the setting of a fantasy World.
It's just that the X gene is more uncontrollable than the bloodline.
Ye Xiangyang initially intended to use mutants to realize his research plan.
But he soon discovered to his surprise that mutants did not exist in this World!
This greatly disappointed Ye Xiangyang.
We had no choice but to settle for second best and look for alternatives.
Vampires are one of the alternatives.
The Umbrella Corporation's existing drugs were also developed during this process.
Ye Xiangyang also firmly held the medicine's formula in his hands.
Ye Xiangyang himself is quite capable, and he also has the backing of S.H.I.E.L.D.
With Wanda and Pietro's special abilities, the Umbrella Corporation was able to develop steadily.
However, Ye Xiangyang has always been in a cooperative relationship with S.H.I.E.L.D.
Neither Nick Fury nor Alexander Pierce had any objections to this.
After all, the Umbrella Corporation provided S.H.I.E.L.D. with tremendous assistance.
The introduction of four special agents has greatly increased S.H.I.E.L.D.'s power.
Hydra, operating in the shadows, also benefited greatly.
Ye Xiangyang didn't care whether the other party was S.H.I.E.L.D. or Hydra.
He hasn't placed any bets yet.
If Hydra wins, then his partner will be Hydra.
If Nick Fury wins, then his partner will be S.W.A.R.
Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D. have also considered taking control of Ye Xiangyang.
Unfortunately, Ye Xiangyang had no weaknesses.
Both parents are deceased, and there are no relatives.
The only relatives they can be considered relatives, Wanda and Pietro, are both very strong.
If they confront each other head-on, neither side will benefit.
Therefore, the only option is to switch to a cooperative model.
This is the importance of strength.
After they parted ways, Ye Xiangyang went straight back to S.H.I.E.L.D.
His next research project is already in preparation.
This time, the research focuses on the metal bloodline.
Because of the advent of four new drugs.
Ye Xiangyang's research sequence within S.H.I.E.L.D. was almost at the very beginning.
Besides projects like the Insight Project, there's also research on things like the Cosmic Cube.
There are almost no higher priority sequences than Ye Xiangyang.
"Ye, the bureau chief wants to see you."
Ye Xiangyang received a message as soon as he entered S.H.I.E.L.D.
"So eager?"
Ye Xiangyang was not surprised by this.
After all, the outcome of his negotiations with the vampires had a significant impact.
If the Umbrella Corporation and the vampires were to go to war in the underworld.
The World of watches will also be greatly impacted.
S.H.I.E.L.D. definitely needs to prepare early.
"Knock knock~."
Ye Xiangyang knocked on Nick Fury's office door.
"Please come in."
Nick Fury put down his pen and looked towards the door.
"Director."
Looking at Nick Fury, Ye Xiangyang greeted him with a smile.
"They're here..."
"How are the negotiations with the vampires going?"
Nick Fury poured a glass of water and placed it in front of Ye Xiangyang.
Nick Fury was quite at ease with the orphan of this S.H.I.E.L.D. agent.
Not to mention that S.H.I.E.L.D. has a record of all of Ye Xiangyang's growth.
Exceptional abilities, formidable strength, a brilliant mind, and a clean background.
Nick Fury has high hopes for Ye Xiangyang.
"The vampires have conceded; the Umbrella Corporation will regularly trade blood with the vampires."
"S.H.I.E.L.D.'s plans against vampires can be put on hold for a while."
"Pushing too hard will provoke a backlash from the vampires."
Ye Xiangyang organized his thoughts and said briefly.
During his last phone call with Ye Xiangyang, Nick Fury learned about the existence of Dracula, the progenitor of the vampires.
This led Nick Fury to raise the vampires' rating within S.H.I.E.L.D.
The level has been raised by two.
After all, Dracula's strength is unknown.
However, considering that the other party has lived for thousands of years, no amount of caution is too much.
"What area of research are you restarting this time?"
After finishing their discussion about vampires, Nick Fury asked a question.
After all, the four potions available under the Umbrella now are quite comprehensive.
"I'd say it's defensive in nature."
Ye Xiangyang thought of his research on his metal-type bloodline.
If nothing unexpected happens, the derivative products will most likely be defensive in nature.
In that sense, it's not exactly a lie.
"Defensive type?"
Nick Fury seemed thoughtful.
This coincides with what he wanted to say.
Being a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent is a high-risk profession.
Enhanced defenses, coupled with high-tech equipment, can greatly reduce the casualties of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.
"I've already spoken to the Cosmic Cube."
"Just let me know in advance whenever you want to do the research."
Nick Fury hadn't forgotten his deal with Ye Xiangyang.
"Good!"
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Ye Xiangyang left Nick Fury's office.
He went to his research lab.
