The Last Embrace Chapter 436

"Is that what you wanted from me? Okay, go on...please tell me more..." she said, getting interested.
"As you can see, internally, our society was gripped with many problems arising from drug-related crimes destroying the people's mental and health problems, human smuggling and trafficking, poverty and a lot more. Instead of channeling a huge budget into health care and alleviating poverty, the government is investing more in war equipment to strengthen the nation's security. See...? The country should invest more in the peoples well being not in war equipment. The truth is if we can't locate the source of the problem. The problem keeps coming, it's a never-ending cycle. Only by cutting the problems down to its root, they can be prevented," said the Colonel in a frustrated manner.
"So what is your plan, Sir?" she asked.
"Accompany us on our mission. First, I especially wanted to solve the drug problem in our society and there are a lot more problems waiting to be solved but we don't have much talent like yours," he said. "I want to know who is the drug suppliers and how they bring the drugs in the country and where did they manufacture the drugs," he said. "My beloved nephew died because of a drug overdose, it's painful and a big blow to our family. I don't want anybody to suffer the same fate ever again," he said sadly.
"Second, human smuggling and trafficking is another headache in our society. I want to know who is involved in this sick trade. Who are the devils who kidnap and sold people against their will, this evilness must stop!"
"Third, sending our troops abroad to support and help other countries and ended up dying in a foreign land for the cause that isn't ours, to begin with. I hate war on both sides because it makes the people of each country suffer real hard. The ironic thing is that leaders are willing to go to war and yet it's the people, the soldiers who are dying and suffering due to the stupidity of some of the world leaders. I've been thinking about you and what you are capable of, that if you are guided properly you can help solve many problems that our country is facing. It would be a waste of time if you will sit idle inside the Facility and can not contribute to the society which you are part of, after all, you are half-human," he concluded his speech.

Jessy was silent for a moment. Solving several problems within the country will be easy for her. Because of her power, she can do so much. But sending her abroad proved to be difficult because she has daily blood transfusion to worry about unless all the vampires are done transforming into humans, then that will be the time she will be willing to go abroad and help the soldiers fighting enemies there.
"Sir, I don't have a problem with the mission abroad, but I can't go there yet because I must transform all my clan into humans. As for the mission inside the country, I'm willing to render my services to the government in return for my people's peace and safety. All I ask is that let me finish transforming all the vampires into humans first and after that, I'm willing to be sent abroad for whatever mission that is required of me," she said.
Colonel Brown surveyed the Crossbreed's face. "Aside from you, is there any powerful vampire with the same power as you? It would be much better if the vampire clan can provide us at least two representatives so that we can speed up the mission and produce impressive results. In turn, when we are about to present to the government the excellent result of every mission, the government won't hesitate to grant clemency to the vampires and employ your skill. It will be a win-win situation for both parties," he said.
Jessy fell silent for a moment. She can't reveal to them about Adam and other vampires with superpowers like her because she knows that being a representative of the vampire clan the government will have full control of that person. As a representative, they will be at the beck and call of the government. It will be a whole life servitude with no end. But if it's the only way to achieve peace and safety for the entire surviving vampire clan, someone has to do it. She knows that if Adam will know about this... he will also be willing to take the opportunity and responsibility.

"Let me discuss this matter to my clan first, Sir. We will choose the best representative for our clan. I will come back here if we already decided on the other one," she said.
"Okay, that's good," the colonel smiled.
Jessy was observing the military officers' faces. She needed to know if they're indeed serious with their willingness to help the vampire clan attain peace and security. And there is only one way to find out...
She waved her hand at both of them freezing them instantly.
She went to Colonel Brown's side and placed her hands over his head. She needs to see his memory and find out how sincere he is with his intention to bring peace to the table between the surviving vampires and the government.
Jessy began scanning his memories from the early days up to the present times.
It took her one hour to see everything in his mind. Colonel Brown is indeed telling her the truth, he has good intentions.
Done with the colonel, she went to the captain's side and did the same.
It took her another hour to finish scanning his memory as well. And just like the colonel, she can't find anything wrong with the captain. He has a good heart just like the colonel.
Now, she was finally convinced that she can trust them.
She waved her hand at them, unfreezing them.
The military officers were looking at each other.
"D-did you do something to us?" the colonel asked.
Jessy grinned and confessed. "I freeze you two for two hours, and scan the memories in your heads so that I can see for myself the degree of your sincerity to help my clan," she explained.
Colonel Brown and Capt. Mercado looked at each other.
"And what did you see?" Capt. Mercado asked curiously.
"You guys are sincere because if you are planning to deceive me and I see that evil intention in your heads, you are already dead by now," she gives them a death glare.
The colonel laughed and clapped his hands. "That's awesome! You can read minds as well? Fantastic! We can use that skill of yours for the greater good," he said excitedly.
"Alright Gentlemen, I need to go home now, I will be back within this week. Prepare the first mission, I want all the details and what I'm getting into," Jessy said and disappeared from their sight.

Garden Of The Abyss
Frail, ignorant, and afraid—yet he wants everything; this is the story of a young man and his rise from the bottom of the barrel to the heights that try to slip through his fingers.
8 141Rebirth – City Cultivation
Great Cultivator Chen Fan had failed his Tribulation period, but after a dream, he had returned to Earth, when he was young, five hundred years ago. “In my past life, I reached the peak in the universe. I looked down upon the myriad of worlds, but with no one accompanying me. In this life, I wish for both.”
8 545The Triumphs and Tribulations of Kai Jameson
Kai Jameson is an average everyday young man. He still lives at home with his parents after having just graduated from college. He loves playing video games and his job at the local Buy More is tolerable. Of course that all changes the moment the system arrives and the Earth is connected to the Nexus. Turns out Kai was trapped in time for about eighteen months while the people already here got a headstart on him. He lucks into being rescued by some people from a town called Donnyton and learns that if he wants to survive in this New Earth he'll have to work harder than ever before. The rewards are worth it. This is Kai's story, the moments of his triumphs, and the moments when he feels that things couldn't possibly be worse. Thanks to puddles4263 and his story The Legend of Randidly Ghosthound for the inspiration on the world this is set in. If you have never read that I highly recommend it, and if you have read it and enjoyed that story then I hope you'll enjoy mine as well. This is the first story I'm ever putting out for public consumption so reader beware on that. Any constructive criticism is always appreciated, simply leaving a half star review tells me that you're a moron who doesn't know how to use words. I'm constantly trying to improve my writing and feedback and criticism on what works and what doesn't is the only way to do that at the point I feel I am at. Last, I just marked all the content warnings because you never know where a story will take you and I don't want to exclude anything (though there will never be a harem). I am going to release 1-2 chapters per week on Fridays. Thanks and enjoy.

Pirates, eyes glued onto to island's wealth and riches, invade the island's capital city: Silvermoon Wharf.Overwhelmed by the outlaw forces, the island's meagre defences stand no chance and hope is seemingly lost. Had it not been for a mysterious old man, chaos would have ensued further. Intrigued by this unsung hero, Cynthia Adams sets out to meet the individual face to face - only to receive a peculiar medallion from the island's obscure saviour, along with the request to restore the distorted balance between light and darkness.
