The Young Master in the Shadows-Chapter 363 : Many things to do

As soon as the WhiteDragonBreath reached the mansion’s lower gate it had to stop as another car made its way in. Margret had to wait until the car passed before going out.

“IS THAT MIRA IN THAT CAR?” Micheal, who was in the back, asked, turning to keep his eyes on the car.

“Yes, she must have finished with that after-party,” Margret replied. “The party we missed thanks to the two of you!” she scolded.

“Ahh….Sorry.... Why is she here?”

“What kind of stupid question is this? She lives here, she is your sister-in-law, you know!” Margret replied. “I thought you investigated Victor.”

“WHAT?!” Micheal glared at Mona, but she looked away. “You didn’t tell me on purpose!” Micheal spat angrily.

“What would you have done if you knew?” Mona spat. “I feared that you would ruin our plan!”

Micheal had to confess that his sister was right. He would have really added Mira to Victor’s supposed ransom if he knew.

He could only sigh as he watched the car sped toward Vein City throughout the mountainous road. He decided not to argue with his sister anymore, he just sat back and began to fantasize about what could have happened if he really got Mira… It was rude as she was his sister-in-law, but he was a guy after all.

“Can’t you slow down a little?” Mona asked after a few minutes as she grabbed the seat belt for her dear life. Margret was going too fast.

“That would be wasting this car’s potential!” Margret refused. “And this road is very desolate… A car once blew up here, and it took them an entire day to find it!” she added. “Just enjoy the ride like your brother!”

“WHAT? OH YES… This car is fast!” Michael said. “Can I borrow it for a spin?” he asked after a few minutes. He seemed to have incorporated this car into his R-rated fantasy.

“Micheal!” Mona scolded, but he ignored her.

“Of course not! This car is mine!” Margret refused, like Victor, she didn’t like others touching her toys. “But you can beg your sisters tomorrow when you meet them… Victor has a soft spot for them, and he might buy you one if they said a word or two…”

“Oh…” Micheal nodded. “Ahh... I wanted to ask you something else..."

"What?"

"Does Victor have a ranking in his harem or something like that?” he really wanted to ask, and seeing how open Margret was, he decided to risk it.

“Well… Although Victor treats us all equally, there is one!” Margret spat hatefully, making the nervous Mona look at her. “All of us except for one are technically concubines!”

“Then my sisters too?” Micheal asked with a frown.

“Yup… Victor has only one main wife currently, THE DRAGON WIFE!” Margret spat. She seemed jealous.

“Dragon?”

“Yup… That girl is as crazy as she is pretty, compared to Mira, that girl is 100 times prettier!” Margret said casually.

“Really?” Micheal got excited.

“Yes… But if you ever meet her try not to stare at her, she is very protective of herself. The last time I took them to a bachelorette party, three men lost their balls trying to hit on her! One of them had the honor of being castrated using a knife on the dance stage!” Margret said. Giving away some random information on purpose. Victor really needed to reward her for helping him cook this new girl.

“Ah…” Micheal froze. He remembered reading something about this online, but he was not sure, he had to look it up.

“Is she that girl… Lily?” Mona asked.

“Yes!” Margret nodded. “Was it obvious?”

“Yes… “ Mona replied as she remembered the quarrel in the room earlier. That girl was the only one who talked back to Victor.

“Well… You don’t have to worry about your sisters. They get on perfectly with everyone,” Margret said as she began to slow down and enter the city turning to head to the slums.

Suddenly she stopped that car by pressing the brakes in front of a strip club. It was as if she saw something.

“What?” Micheal asked.

“I will be right back!” she said as she opened the door and then ran toward the club where she stopped a hoodie-wearing girl who was hesitating whether to enter or not.

Margret talked to her for a few seconds and gave her something before returning to the car.

“An acquaintance?” Mona asked.

“No… But from the way that girl moved I thought she would definitely be a super movie star if she tried, so I gave her my card to come for an audition…” Margret said mysteriously.

“Right… You guys run that production company!” Mona nodded, ignoring her brother’s glares.

“YUP! I am a Horizons Media vice president after all!” Margret smugly replied.

“Was that girl pretty?” Micheal asked. Although that girl covered her face, she did have big boobs.

“Yup… In a special way…” Margret said. She was not going to reveal that the girl was destined to be a big star in the future.

Margret didn’t expect to meet her here. She seemed to be in need of money and had been hesitating about working for a strip club or not, so Margret couldn’t miss this chance to recruit her. She was always ready for such encounters.

Margret had a feeling that her luck was very good tonight! Maybe she should try and ask Victor to try that position… hehehe…

“Can I also appear in a movie?” Micheal suddenly asked, making Mona glare at him. She knew what her perverted brother was after.

“Why not… We have already begun auditions for the newest Dragon Princes, Come to the studio in two days to give it a try,” Margret shrugged. Micheal should be brought to their team as soon as possible. They needed all the help they could get to eat someone like Mona.

…

The car reached the warehouse where Vanessa's men were left asleep a few minutes later. It was still in the state they left it in.

“Get down… Your sisters will be at the White Mall with your mother tomorrow at 9. Be sure to be there if you want to meet them!” Margret told Micheal who stepped down and then looked at his sister.

“What about you?” he asked Mona, who didn’t leave the car.

“I have something to do… Just go check on the men and buy them something to eat,” she said hesitating a bit. “See you tomorrow… ”

“What…” he wanted to ask, but Margret ignored him as she pressed on the pedal again and the car was gone in seconds.

After that, without the lively Michael, the car went silent.

Mona just watched the scenes outside the car change from an urban environment to a rural one then that of a mountain.

She remembered her bet with Victor.

For that, he planned to create a fictional criminal who was in fact innocent.

She would have to hunt this criminal with the rest of the Justice Ring. Then they will hand him over to the Overseers and wait to see what will happen.

If they let the target go when his innocence was proved afterward, she wins. If they didn’t… No! She would definitely win… She would never become Victor’s maid…Wait… Why the hell did she agree to this stupid bet, to begin with? She frowned.

“We are here…” Margret said as she slowly parked the car, waking Mona from her contemplation and making her look in shock at the huge newly built structure in front of her.

It was a huge windowless concrete building right in the middle of the wilderness. It looked like a huge dam or a factory building.

“This place is?” Mona asked nervously.

“Victor’s secret base… One of them anyway. Sometimes it is not convenient to do things at the main mansion, so this place is more secure!” Margret said as she stepped down. “Come on now… I have night duty to catch up with,” she said casually.

Mona blushed a little, imagining a very depraved scene. She quickly shook her head then stepped out of the car.

Margret ignored her as they walked toward the building where she casually opened the unguarded metal door and then walked in.

Inside, the building was mostly empty. Just a few cement bags here and there. And some stacked wine barrels to the side.

“Is this building newly constructed?” Mona asked.

“In a way… It used to be a factory, but we renovated it recently. We plan to make it a winery as a front, but we don’t have the personnel to fill it yet. Victor is still recruiting,” Margret said as they headed to the elevator where Margret pressed a random button to go up.

“If it is a base… Why is it so unguarded?” Mona asked.

“It is guarded… You just didn’t notice,” Margret replied mysteriously as they reached the last floor and walked out of the elevator that opened to a long corridor.

“Follow me…” Margret said, guiding Mona until they reached a room at the end where Margaret casually entered without even caring to knock on the door.

Inside, the room was empty too, that is except for a table with a few chairs around it. On them, three girls were sitting and waiting.

“Sorry to keep you waiting, Alpha…” Margret said as she grabbed a chair and leaned on it not intending to sit down. “Nice to meet you again, Tina, Syndi...” she said to the other girls who stood up and bowed in respect.

“Nice to meet you again Mistress…” they replied. The two belonged to the girls who were saved by Alpha and Margret from the brothel back then.

“This is Mona?” Alpha asked. Making Mona a little nervous as she noticed how Alpha examined her. “She really does look like the twins!”

“Yes… You already got the plan right?” Margret asked, she seemed in a hurry.

“Yes… Syndi here is a dark Paladin, so she will be able to take whatever they throw at her… She will be acting as the criminal!” Alpha said, making Mona quickly look at this Syndi girl. She didn’t look that strong, but she had a dangerous air around her. “With Tina as a backup, things should…”

“Good,” Margret interrupted. “You explain the plan to Mona, I have to hurry back…” she said.

“You are leaving already?” Mona asked as Alpha frowned.

“Yes… Alpha will send someone to drive you back after you finish with the plan!” Margret said. “The twins are spending the night with your mother, you see, so the rest of the girls will have a hard time keeping up with Victor without me!” she said as she turned and hurried out.

“Perverts!” Alpha and Mona spat at the same time as they watched Margret leave.

…

Rita was surprised as she was able to easily cross through the wall separating her from the corridor outside.

“That is a really convenient skill,” she said.

“Convenient my ass!” Victor scolded. “Do you know how much energy I have to spend to make you able to use it!” he added, using his skills through his blood slaves cost him 10 times the mana required. And tonight the mission had just started!

“Sorry…”

“It’s ok… We just have to use it sparingly. Let’s continue!” Victor said, “Today we will have to accomplish many missions!”

“Like?” Rita asked, Looking around to make sure that the corridor was empty before she began to slowly walk through it. As far as she knew, she was supposed to get the Von Zwei’s artifact for the family. That’s everything Victor told her.

“I will tell you in time, you might cower in fear otherwise!” he said. “Don’t worry, I got your back, now keep exploring… Although I know the basic layout of the base you are in, I can’t help you without pinpointing your location!” Victor who was watching the world through her eyes said, making her sigh.

She didn’t like to be kept in the dark, and she was not a coward… After what happened to her, she felt that nothing would really scare her.

Soon, she found an elevator.

“Ignore it. You would be discovered if you used it. This building is old, it will definitely have a stairway!” Victor commented, and he was right. A few feet away, Rita was able to locate an abandoned stairway that was only going up.

“You seem to be in a basement…” Victor said. “I think I know where you are now…” he added. From the location of the elevator and stairway, he was able to pinpoint her location on the plans he had in front of him.

Victor, contrary to Margret’s expectation, was not in the bedroom with the girls, but in his study with Lily. They had drawn the plans of the Von Zwei’s base from memory before the start of this operation and were now tracking Rita through them.

“Yes…” Rita nodded then began to climb up.

“Stop… Before going up, head left… Go to the third door on the right…” he suddenly said.

Rita frowned and then silently obliged, reaching the door right away.

“Are you using the levitation necklace?” Victor asked.

She nodded.

“Good!” he said. “Then go ahead. “

She quickly passed through the door, reaching a long white corridor that didn’t have any doors, and ended with a turn. She could clearly see the biohazards signs posted all over.

“This place is?”

“Some secret experiments lab. We don’t need to enter it… Just move carefully 21 steps forward from the door before turning left… be careful not to touch a thing.” Victor said. “Be sure to stay 2 feet above ground at all times!”

Rita did as he told her.

“Make sure the distance you created is correct… ” he warned again.

“I am sure… 21 steps…”

“Good, Now shift through the wall! This is going to be a long shift, about 10 feet, so take a deep breath!” he ordered as she used the skill again.

Opening her eyes, she found herself in the corner of a strange white hall. It was full of metal cases filled with electronics beeping and making strange sounds.

“Where is this place?” she asked.

“We are technically in a different building, and this is the server room in its basement…” Victor said. “We can’t waste this chance to grab Von Zwei’s database!” he added with an evil smile.

“Ah… But I don’t know how to use a computer!” Rita said. She was never trained to use a computer… Her old-fashioned grandfather believed women should only know how to please men.

“You don’t need to!” Victor answered, “And even if you could, you wouldn’t be able to, The place here uses proprietary technology and everything is encrypted!”

“Then?”

“From the storage space, take the closed box… Inside you will find small cylinders“ Victor said. “Just stick one of them below every data server in the room… it will do the job!” Victor said. Those were the latest hacking devices created by the Von Weise family, they totally ignored the computer interfaces and used the energy fluctuations to read the data from the chips themselves. Their only drawback was that it needed a lot of time to do the scan. “Make sure to turn them on by pressing the red buttons before sticking them, and put a disguise talisman over each one!” Victor added.

“Data Server?”

“The metal cases…” Victor said. He really needed to educate this girl when she returned.

“Oh..” Rita nodded and then started working. The entire operation took her 30 minutes to finish.

“Finished…” she said as she wiped the sweat off her forehead with her sleeve.

“Good… Now, leave the same way you came…” Victor said.

Rita quickly did as was told, reaching the corridor, and there she encountered her first problem. Two researchers in white lab coats were making out next to the door.

“What if we were caught?” the female asked.

“Don’t worry… This area is restricted, and no one ever comes here. As long as you don’t turn that corner, no one will notice…” the old researcher whose hand was not being honest said.

“If it is restricted, why are we here?” the female asked.

“It is more exciting this way…” he said as he slapped her butt.

“Ahh… You are so naughty…”

“.......”

“...”

Rita didn’t know what to do as she watched in shock as the two got into action by leaning onto the wall.

“RITA! What are you doing? We don’t have time, I can buy you all the porn you want after we finish with this! We have to move!” Victor scolded.

“Ahh…It is not that! I just don’t know how to walk past them!” she blushed and said.

“Just float above their heads and pass through the wall!” Victor scolded.

“Ah… Yes…” Rita, who didn’t have any experience with men quickly did as Victor commanded while trying not to look.

Reaching the stairway again, Rita climbed up this time. From the signs she quickly realized that she was in the fourth basement, so after climbing four stories, she stopped and left the stairway, reaching a metal door.

“Don’t go through that door, there is a security post behind it, Turn to the left, Go until you find a brick wall! Go through it!” Victor said.

Rita quickly did as he told her, passing through the wall, and found herself under the open sky for the first time in a few months, and in front of her lay an ominous-looking graveyard.
