interested in a remote piece of land held by
GC Inc.? From what I know, Mr Kron moved to New Moon City about
sixty years ago, and he has largely kept to himself. A very wealthy
demon lord, but very reclusive. No one knows much about him, other
than he lives in a castle in Infernal Springs, that outrageously
affluent neighborhood at the periphery of New Moon City. So why this
offer out of the blue? And yes, what he is offering in no chump
change,” Glenn said, looking round the long table. “The
amount is insane, I'd say.”
    “ Who cares if the old
demon is insane? He's got money and he's willing to spend it. If
he's throwing it our way, then I say we grab it. That demon is
loaded, comes from old money, I heard.” This from a bejeweled
board member whose shareholding in the company was pretty
substantial.
    Glenn made no response. He
had heard the same about that eccentric, reclusive demon lord. On
the surface, Sideous Kron appeared to be a genteel, old-fashioned
gentleman, seldom reverting to his demon form, always dressed
impeccably in tailored suits and a shiny top hat.
    Why would the demon lord be
interested in an abandoned parcel of land that lay far out of the
city? Lots of blood had been shed on that land, and no one really
wanted to have anything to do with the land that was stained red with
the blood of millions of slaughtered shifters.
    The company had received
several offers for the land from a few developers before, but always
the offered price had been ridiculously low. And now, the offer by
Sideous Kron was ludicrously high.
    Coupled with the fact that
Sideous Kron was a blood demon—it just didn't sit well with
Glenn.
    “ I say we mull over the
offer for a bit longer before giving our answer,” Glenn said at
last, silencing the furious discussion that had broken out.
    “ The offer won't last
forever,” someone pointed out.
    Glenn shrugged. “Maybe.
Maybe not. It depends.”
    It depends on how badly the
old demon wants that land, and what he wants it for.
    There were a few disgruntled
murmurs, but as the Chairman of GC Inc., Glenn had the final say.
    The board meeting was called
to a close, and as everyone filed out of the conference room, Glenn
pulled Harvey aside and told him, “You know where Mr Kron
lives.”
    “ Yes,” Harvey said
quietly, looking at him over the rim of his glasses. “I will
see what I can find out.”
    “ Be careful.”
    Harvey smiled. “Ah,
don't worry. I can hide well in the clouds. I am not bulky and
noisy, like the other dragons.”
    Glenn had to smile at that.
Harvey was an Eastern dragon, so when he shifted, his shape was long
and fluid, and his serpentine body slithered silently through the
clouds without the loud flapping of wings. Harvey was also discreet
and very wise, and he trusted his CEO's assessment and judgment.
    “ Just stay hidden, and
watch Mr Kron's movements. But I suspect the old demon will be very
careful. You know he is a blood demon, so...”
    “ He is not getting any
dragon blood, Mr Constantine.”
    Glenn gave Harvey a grim
smile. There were many demons in New Moon City, but very few blood
demons. Blood demons were worse, far worse than vampires in Glenn's
view. Vampire bites didn't hurt. Their fangs were sleek and sharp,
and pieced the skin cleanly. Vampire fangs were also coated with a
kind of anesthetic and aphrodisiac, making the bite painless and very
pleasurable. But blood demons had serrated fangs. And their bites
were excruciating.
    With the PAC laws and rules in
place, vampires and blood demons weren't allowed to bite to feed. To
feed, they had to go to the licensed blood bars all around the city.
Innovative bar owners had come up with blood of all flavors. There
was alcoholic blood, artificially sweetened blood, blood with added
vitamins and minerals, you named it, they served it. The only time
biting was allowed was during mating. It was a strictly no biting
policy in New Moon City. Biting and sucking of blood was allowed
only
