The Young Master in the Shadows

Chapter 141: Scamming a Girl

Lily and Margret thought that following Victor would be easy. But it wasn’t.

He left the mansion using one of the new cars. A minivan that was bought by Aria for emergencies. It was the least conspicuous one in the garage.

After some deliberation, and after ordering Camellia to hide their absence. They took an SUV and used to follow him from afar. Lily took the driver’s seat as Margret was not a good driver, she got her license only two months ago.

They caught up with him pretty quickly as he seemed to be taking his time and had to stop at a traffic light down the mountain.

They kept their distance, moving as far away from him as possible to avoid detection.

“Why does he keep changing lanes? Does he really know how to drive?” Margret, who was watching, asked with a frown. She noticed his bizarre behavior as soon as they reached the highway.

“It is a maneuvering tactic. It is used to lose any potential pursuers.” Lily replied as she focused on driving.

Lily had to confess that Victor was simply amazing. Despite her training as an assassin, she had a very hard time following his car. His car movement pattern made following him very tiresome, and she was on the verge of giving up. But strangled, after a while, his car slowed down and began to move more regularly, and that allowed her to follow him more easily.

They quickly reached a dark corner of the city, where there were no pedestrians. This place seemed to be set for demolition as the buildings were very old, and there were only a few lit apartments.

Victor parked the car near a dark alleyway, then went in.

Margret and Lily used this chance to park their car too. And just when they were about to step down and follow Victor, a nasty-looking man walked arrogantly out of the alleyway. He was a young gangster with red hair and a face full of scars.

Watching the man leave, Margaret intended to go into the alley but her arm was caught by a frowning Lily whose eyes were on that man.

“It’s the young master in disguise.” She Whispered then stepped out of the car and followed that guy,

Margret opened her eyes wide in astonishment then, after giving the alley one last look, she nimbly followed after Lily. This young master was more skillful than she expected.

They followed him for a while until he reached another ally where he entered after spotting something.

Margret was getting curious when they heard a shout from inside,

“It’s her, the girl who ran away from the auction…”

Following it was a whistling sound.

A girl dashed out of the alley and headed in Lily and Margret’s direction. so Lily quickly grabbed Margret and jumped up a tree as she activated her shadow cloak skill.

The girl passed them and headed toward another street as a man ran after her. He was not the previous one. But a fat one with a stained shirt one this time.

“Is this the young master too?” Margret asked with a frown after that man got far enough.

“Yes,” Lily said. Although he was in disguise, he always had a certain air around him that allowed her to discover him.

“Why is he pursuing that girl? Maybe we should grab her for him.” Margaret suggested.

“I don’t know, but it would be better to stay out of this. Didn’t you notice the way he ran after her? It was like he was taking his time chasing a mouse. He is not serious.`` Lily responded.

“You’re right… Maybe he likes to play with his food…. Let’s go after them.” Margret said as Lily nodded.

After that, they watched an amazing drama as the girl kept running away from different gangsters who kept popping out of nowhere. They ranged from short mean men to huge muscular bikers.

The girl tried to fly a few times, surprising both Lily and Margret. But she quickly returned to the ground after hearing gunshots and men screaming.

“Shoot her, She’s up there.”

The air was not a viable escape route.

“She is a Player.” Margret who was watching with Lily from behind a corner said I was surprised.

“Yes,” Lily responded as she watched the girl enter another alleyway. She didn’t seem to notice the sign that indicated a dead end.

After that, the street became silent as the girl hid in a dark corner, not daring to peek as a gangster kept moving at the alley entrance while yelling using different voices.

“Did you find her?”

“No…”

“The boss would punish us.”

“Keep searching.”

“I will punish her well when I find her.”

“I will do it with her ten times in a row.”

“I will not do that…I am not into girls….”

“You shut up and do your job. And stay away from me.”

“Search well.”

.

.

Margret wanted to chuckle but used her hands to hold her mouth after Lily shot her a glare.

The young master was acting very strange… Did he lose his mind after the coma?

Suddenly the gangster who was shouting started changing his shape, and under their surprised eyes, he turned into a pitch-black demon with two long horns and a pointy tail.

“Are you sure he is the young master?” The scared Margret asked.

“Positive,” Lily replied as she kept her eyes on him.

He entered the alley.

There was a scream.

There was silence.

Margret and Lily looked at each other then quickly climbed onto the roof of a nearby building to have a look at what was happening.

The girl, who was cornered, seemed to be arguing with the demon, who waved his skeletal hand in midair making some kind of contract appear.

Margaret wanted to hear, but couldn’t. It was as if some kind of barrier was stopping any sounds. Lily knew it was Victor’s skill.

The girl keep arguing and seemed hesitant, but after some talking with the demon, she seemed to have agreed and marked the contract with her blood.

After some more talking, the demon gave the girls a ring and some money then disintegrated into a smoke.

The girl hesitated and then left the ally while looking around like a scared mouse, but after some time she seemed to have some confidence. She used a paper that appeared magically in her hand, and her shape suddenly changed into that of an ugly girl with a pimple on her nose.

With that, she walked a little then found a taxi and went away.

“Should we follow her?” Margret asked.

“Follow who?” Victor asked.

“The girl…. A young master….” Lily, who was absent-minded, turned around to see her young master standing there. Making Margret also turn to look in astonishment.

“When did you notice us….” Lily asked as she looked down at her feet.

“What? He noticed us before?” Margret asked as she looked at him.

“On the highway…. My driving technique was not only to lose pursuers. It can also be used to uncover them. But good job following me to that point.” He said with a smirk.

“Ah… then that’s why you slowed down…” Lily said as she looked back at him.

“Yes… I wanted to test your sneaking capabilities. And if you would disturb my plan. You passed.” He said with a nod, making LIly sigh in relief.

“How did you know that the gangster was me?” He asked them suddenly.

“I just felt it. ” Lily blushed as she said it, making Vector look at her with wonder.

“Who was that girl?” Margret asked as she approached Victor and began to move her hands indecently around.

“A little girl who needed to be scammed.” He said as he grabbed her dishonest hands.

“What did you promise her? The same as me? A boyfriend and an allowance? ” She asked trying to break free to no avail. When did he become this strong?.

“No…I promised her that she would be able to be one of the strongest people in the world. She had to sell her soul for that though…” Victor said, not letting them know if he was joking or telling the truth.

“Don’t worry, she will not be eaten by me… Probably.” He said, noticing the jealous look in Lily’s eyes.

“Probably?” Margret asked, raising one eyebrow as she stuck her body to him.

“Yes… Destiny is a strange thing. If she suddenly chose to offer herself to this young master I would not refuse.” He replied arrogantly, earning himself a nasty glare.

“Shall we return home now?” Lily asked, with a sigh… At least they would not get a new sister tonight…. She needs some time to remember the names of the ones she has already got.

“Not yet. I need to punish some naughty girls first.” He said letting go of Margret’s hands.

“Who?” Margret asked as Lily took a step back.

“If you want to know, put your hands on the ledge and bend to peek down into the alleyway,” Victor said with a smirk as he spited on his palm…

That night, in a certain alley in the middle of the city. There were two new rumors. The first was about a demon that made pretty girls ugly. And the second was about ghosts wailing all night begging for mercy.
