Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2928

Killing Soren brought unexpected rewards that even Andrew found surprising. First, the vampire's hoard was enormous, practically a king's ransom in its own right. In terms of wealth alone, they could not even fit it all into one armored vehicle; it was packed with jewels and gold.

Given the urgency of the situation, they could not stay long, so they only managed to haul away a single truckload.

Secondly, while Andrew had struck Soren's heart, destroying him utterly, the blood core he left behind was the operation's greatest prize.

A blood core was the life essence of a vampire, equivalent to a martial artist's energy core. The key difference was that a blood core could be physically condensed; the higher a vampire's rank, the more precious and larger their core becomes.

Soren's core was as big as a man's palm.

Reginald laughed. "You've all made a nice little profit. This blood core is worth the entire bounty Lomuia Grand Cathedral had on Soren. Even without his head, you can sell this core for a fortune."

Knox held the blood core excitedly. "It's freezing cold! Alchemists love these duke-level vampire cores."

The Dragonfang members gathered in the small house, discussing the spoils with enthusiasm.

Petra suggested, "I think the blood core should go to Andrew."

Knox reluctantly agreed, "Fine. Soren basically died in his hands."

Juno shrugged. "I'm okay with that. I like money, but I'm fair. He did most of the work."

Franz looked at Nyx, who sat by the window. She said flatly, "I don't want anything."
