As Glenn stepped inside, he followed the corridor and climbed the stairs at the end. On the second floor, there's only one room guarded by another two guys in suit. When they saw Glenn, they knocked on the door three times and they didn't bother to search on him if he has a firearm which bothered Glenn.
'Are they new in this kind of work? They supposed to search me before letting me in right?'
"Come in!"
Hearing the reply from their boss, the two guards opened the door for him and let him in.
Inside, Glenn saw a man sitting behind a large mahogany desk puffing his cigar. The man was unusually pale with many tattoos on his body. He's only wearing a tank top and a brown leather pants. Glenn saw the name of the man on the desk.
"Well well well, to what do I owe the pleasure of the famous Handyman."
"You know me? Mr. Viktor." Glenn asked in confusion.
"Of course! You've become very famous in the underworld recently, you know. The Handyman who fixes everything. Zero failure in your mercenary career, huh? That's impressive."
"It's okay.. It's just a matter of assignment choice."
Glenn went forward and took a seat in front of him.
"So Mr. Handyman. Whose gonna need some fixing?"
"Mr. Viktor, I trust you know your customers very well. Mind if I ask if you happen to see my niece?" Glenn reached for his inner pocket and threw a picture of Elle on his desk.
Viktor reached out it to the picture and look at it for second. His pupil constricted but he managed to control his expression. He was unaware that the movement of his eyes was caught by Glenn. He definitely saw Elle.
"No! I haven't seen her around. Quite pretty eh?"
Glenn stared at him for while before asking once again.
"Are you sure, Mr. Viktor?"
"Yeah yeahh pret—aghhhhhhhh"
Glenn kicked the desk sending it flying with Viktor as he rush into him.
"Someone's misbehaving, are we? Viktor. You see I'm the type of guy who gives seconds chances to those who deserve it. So tell me, Viktor. Are you one of them, huh?"
Instead of being afraid, Viktor laughed instead.
"Hahahahahahahaha, you are so screwed for touching me."
"And why is that?"
Viktor replied with maniac grinned. Then next moment, he started to subtly transformed. His skin became more pale and he grew out fangs. His eyes also turned all black.
Glenn was surprised but that's all. He even looked at him in fascination.
"So that's why you are so brave, huh. You're a vampire."
"Yes, hahahaha I will drain your blood as you wallow in despair."
Glenn looked at him closely. Out of nowhere, he slapped the vampire just to see what will happen.
Slap!
"If I knocked your teeth out, will it grow once again? Your dentist must be angry at you."
"What!!? How dare—"
Bang!
The vampire didn't get to finish his sentence as Glenn punched his cheek and a few teeth flew out.
Glenn put his to knees on the vampire's arms to keep him from flailing while he grabbed it's jaw to open it up.
"Hmmm so only the canine teeth keeps growing, huh? The others aren't. I wonder what will you look like when only your canine teeth was left."
"What?!! Nooooooooo!! Nooo! Don't.. Please don't do that."
"Ahh you know what I want, Viktor. So spill it out. Where are the girls?"
"No please no, I don't know where they went..let me go please."
"Viktor, oh Viktor, I like tough people like you. Hmmm..I suddenly changed my mind. Don't tell me anything. Just endure as hard as you can, okay? This will be fun." Glenn grinned evily.
As the vampire saw that smile, a chill suddenly ran down on his spine. He got a foreboding feeling that something is wrong and why the fuck is he on the losing end.
'What the fuck is happening? I'm a vampire and he's just a human.'
Viktor's thought was interrupted when Glenn knocked him out cold. Vampires can regenerate but they don't have immunity against knock out.
After making sure Viktor was unconscious, he tied up the vampire carefully before going outside. He didn't forget to take back Elle's photo that has been thrown on the ground. He pulled out a combat knife in his inventory and started decapitating the guards outside silently. He could feel that there many vampires outside among the crowd. He went back to the room and carried Viktor like a sack.
He opened the window of the room and went out silently as he used geppo to hop in mid air as he jump between buildings until he reached one of his safe houses. It was an old apartment with basement and looks worn down outside. But on the inside, it was clean and tidy. There's a variety of firearms across the wall displayed as a trophy. Each of them was collected by Glenn from the enemy in each mission he took. There's also a small firing range he sometimes use out of boredom and the walls were layered with noise insulated wall paper to keep the sounds inside. He was aware that America has the most number of nosy neighbors and he didn't know if he can keep himself from shooting a 'Karen' nagging at his door.
Inside the basement, he pulled a long table from the side and put down Viktor before tying him up with a chain. He knew that vampires has some sort of strength compared to ordinary people. But for him who eat sea king meat in a regular basis for almost a year, it feels like a ten year old fighting an adult.
After he secured Viktor, it is now time for his favorite part. The interrogation.
He grabbed a pliers from a nearby cabinet before saying something to wake up Viktor.
"Waley wakey, Viktor."
But Viktor remain unconscious. Glenn nip the vampire's elongated nails before yanking it out of Viktor's finger.
Viktor woke up in pain as he felt one of his nails gone.
"Aghhhhhhhhhhh! Motherfucker!!! My nails!"
"Oh hello there, Viktor. Wide awake now, eh? And correction, it's nail not nails. I just pulled one, see?"
"Why are you doing this to me!!? I'm a vampire! I'm much more noble than humans!! You are just a sheep for us to harvest."
"Now now, don't be so agitated, Viktor. We have a long night and the game has just begun. Remember, you have to refrain yourself from telling me anything. The longer you resist, the more you win."
Before Viktor can reply, Glenn noticed that a new nail was coming out regenerating from the wound on his finger.
"Ahh, I'm sorry, Viktor. Here let me return your nail, okay."
Then Glenn stabbed the nail that he pulled back to its original place which made Viktor howl in pain.
"Yes, scream my boy. Hehehe no one will be able to hear you from here. The walls are filled with noise insulation. Now, let's get back to the game, okay?"
Viktor shivered when he hear him say that.
'I'm the vampire here, why does it feel like he's more terrifying than our kind. He felt like he came straight out of a horror movie.'
Viktor gathered his bearings when he remember he can regenerate. As long as there's no sunlight, he still have a chance.
"I won't tell you a thing, you fucker! Hahahaa those girls has long become our meal!!" Viktor shouted.
"That's the spirit. It'll be boring if you don't know how to resist. Oh before I forgot, Viktor. I have a surprise for you!!"
Then Glenn fished out Viktor's teeth he knocked out earlier at the bar.
"Here! You see these?! I got your teeth back. I'm such a good Samaritan am I? Now, do you remember why they call me Handyman?"
Viktor was honestly terrified of how he was being treated. The powerlessness and humiliation he felt in front of this man who became sadistic when good talk didn't come out great.
Slap!
"ANSWER ME!!!!! VIKTOR!"
"N-no, sir."
"It's because I always fix things that doesn't aligned to the natural order. Since your teeth is out of order, allow me to fix it, okay? It'll just hurt a little."
"N-NO NOOOOO!! YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME!!!!"
Glenn grabbed the molar teeth and with the jerk of his hand, it stabbed through Viktor's gums.
"AAAAAARRRRGHHHH!"
Glenn checked his work but he feels unsatisfied and annoyed.
"Tsk because you can't keep your mouth open, the placement of the teeth is out of proportion. Here let me fix that for you."
With a swift jab, Glenn quickly dislocated Viktor's jaw keeping his mouth open. Then he smudge the teeth that has already been inserted slicing through his gums.
"That's better! Now let's put these teeth back one by one, okay?"
"Nggghh!!! Nghhhhh!!!!!!"
Viktor felt the biting pain in his jaw as he keep shouting.
One hour later, Glenn has finished putting back Viktor's teeth together. He also rearranged his jaw but Viktor felt exhausted and broken. He wanted to end the pain, this humiliating treatment. He wanted to end it all.
Glenn checked Viktor's teeth once again before frowning.
"Shit! It looks like I missed a teeth. Damn it! I'm sorry, Viktor. It looks like I have to re-arrange them." Glenn said looking exageratingly disappointed.
Hearing that, Viktor's eye constricted and he couldn't help but shivered at the thought of going through it once again.
"The port... The port... " Viktor said weakly.
"Huh? Say what? Which port?"
"Los Angeles... shipment to New York."
"How long till shipment?"
"T-three days..."
"Is there anything you want to tell me?"
"Please kill me.. pleasee.."
"How do I kill your kind?"
"Silver...."
—
A few hours later, Glenn changed his clothes with another set of professional attire since the one he is wearing earlier was full of Viktor's blood.
"That guy smiled when he turn to ash. Guess I really broke him, huh. So much for being called a Handyman. Well at least I fixed his teeth." Glenn shrugged before going out once again.
Since he knew those vampire's weakness, he had to prepare some things before heading out to the port.
Then he heard a familiar ding inside his head. He was very familiar with it as he only hear it when he accepting an assignment. He check the system with mental command.

Looking at his profile, he couldn't help but feel satisfied with the techniques rewarded to him and the skills he bought from the system. Voice of all things in particular helped him to complete all of the impossible mission he completed and it is also the reason why he can fix almost everything literally. Like when he took a bomb diffusal operation, he just used the Voice of all things skill to ask the bomb itself on how to diffuse it. He also use it to know when a person is lying or not and even fix an unfamiliar device by asking its problem. This skill cost him a fortune. All of the points he saved for three months of operation and daily quest were gone for getting this skill but it was all worth it. As for the observation haki, he was able to increase his range of perception first but there's this one time when it stopped no matter how he practice it. He feels like he was in a bottleneck.
As Glenn put his attention back at the new notification on the Quest tab. He opened it and found the quest related to his current situation. He couldn't help but widened his eyes in surprise and his jaw dropped when he saw the reward.
[Quest Initiated]

Rescue Elle and her friends from the vampires without letting anyone of them dying.
Status: On-going
Time limit: 48:01:59

Glenn's breathing started to get fast with the excitement he is feeling at the moment. Getting this skill will put him in the ranks of Captain America and Wolverine. Maybe even more. No organization will be able to stop him since he can change his appearance whenever he wanted, even possible to have regeneration by controlling his cells at molecular level.
He shook his head and calmed himself down. His ultimate goal is to rescue Elle alive as promised. Everything else is secondary so he quickly left in order to prepare for the rescue operation.
