The Young Master in the Shadows

Alpha knelt on her knees and glared hatefully at Victor as he changed his tattered clothes with a new suit from his ring.

She Couldn’t believe he made her beg him to stop like that… She couldn’t believe she gave up this easily. The spanking didn’t hurt at all, but his hands were being very dishonest, and she feared the worst.

“Don’t look at me like that… You deserved it.” Victor said as he adjusted his jacket.

She didn’t reply. She really deserved it. She should not have acted this cocky the moment she regained her freedom. She should have been more lowkey. Biding her time.

Suddenly she felt something covering her body, it was a shirt, Victor’s shirt.

“How long do you intend to stay naked?” He asked, making her quickly cover her body, with a blush… She totally forgot.

“From now on you will have to wear a veil, like Lily.” He said as he sat next to her, and looked at her pretty face. “You became very beautiful, And I don’t want any other flies to come near you. You are only mine.” He said, making her blush again… wait, did he just compare himself to a fly?

“I can change my looks now to a certain degree.” She said bashfully as she concentrated on her muscles, making them change just a little. Enough to make her return to her usual looks.

“Oh… Is this power granted to you by that bead?” Victor asked,

“It’s not the bead, but the flame trapped inside of it… It allows me to have certain control over my body…” She said, she would even be able to change her body shape after learning to control this completely, but she would never tell him that. Her perverted young master would surely make her turn into a loli.

“Do you know what this ‘flame’ is?” Victor asked, totally unaware of her dirty thoughts.

“No… According to the memories I got from the bead, this flame was found by some alien civilization, they explored it, then encased it in the bead to act as a medium. They were the ones who developed the eternal techniques using it and many experiments. The flame itself is like a treasure of nature.” She said,

Victor frowned… Those are things he got too. It seemed like she didn’t know anything extra.

“It is very strange… My body now has this strange vitality, as if nothing can ever hurt me.” She said with a frown.

“We both know that this is wrong,” He said with a dirty smile, making her blush. She was not really hurt by his spanking. Just humiliated. She didn’t dare to tell him that though. What if he decided to punish her more? What if he released that slut, Margret, upon her? She saw what she did to poor Alex.

“Can you walk now?” Victor asked Alpha, making her return to reality. She glared at him and nodded.

“Good, Take the girls and go to the hotel. I still have things to do.” He said as he slowly stood up,

“What about the other girls?” She asked,

“Others?” He asked

“Yes, the ones Troy got from there are another two.” She said, taking out a box from Troy’s ring. It contained three contracts.

“Oh… Let me see.” Victor said, looking at the contracts. They were low-grade, they didn’t have a locating feature, just a distant command, and punishment. They required Gems to operate.

“Bind these and order the girls through them to meet you at the highway… No, let them walk a few extra miles first.” He said, “I don't want them to meet Sebastian.” He added,

“You didn’t kill them?” Alpha asked,

“I killed everyone but Sebastian… That guy is a Scion. How can I hurt him.” Victor interjected. “I was lucky to escape alive.”

“But… Didn’t the white-haired girl steal his ring from him?” Alpha asked, “Hurting them should be possible.”

“It is, but it would cost me a lot… The ring thing was destined to be stolen. Nightshade was meant to do that so that he would return after a while and find you here.” Victor explained, making Alpha gasp.

“Wait, the girl’s name is Nightshade?” Alpha asked, the contract listed her name as Nana.

“Yes, make sure to interrogate her with the girls using soul wine when you return.” He said, “They might have some dirty little secrets.”

“Fine,” She said as she began to think about how to carry Theta and Nightshade. The most optimal method is one with each hand, like bags of potatoes… She can also use Troy’s abandoned car, but she will have to dump it somewhere before heading to the hotel.

“Be careful on your way, you are no longer my blood slave, and I will not be able to use my disguise skill through you.” He warned,

“Why don’t you make me your blood slave again?” She asked coldly, it didn’t matter. She can’t disobey him no matter what after he cursed her soul.

“I don’t have many blood slave slots… You no longer need me And I might need this one…” He said, “If you miss being my blood slave, I would make you one again when I get some extra slots.” He said as he began to levitate in the air.

“No need, but if you were planning to use this on Sebastian I would advise you not to” She replied firmly,

"Why?" Victor asked, she read his mind, he was about to go search for Sebastian and disguise a normal plant stained with his blood as a treasure to let him eat it.

"Sebastian can control his blood flow and would easily notice the foreign blood in his body, he will disintegrate it before reaching his soul. He might even be able to expel it and use it against you." She said, making Victor frown. She was right, he was lucky he didn't have empty slots earlier, or he would have made a big mistake.

"You are a really good girl Louise... taking care of your husband. " He said with a smile,

"I am not. I just don't want you to die... and who died and made you my husband? I never agreed to this." She spat at him coldly,

“We will see about that, " He chuckled, "Take care.” He added as he levitated in the sky and then vanished.

…

Victor’s return trip to the auction house was supposed to be quick and mostly uneventful. But to his surprise, He spotted Sebastian on the way. so he used his illusion to send him in a completely different direction from Alpha.

Victor was tempted to attack him again, but his intuition was telling him not to corner this dog, so he decided to leave him be. He was no longer dangerous as his destiny with Alpha was severed He could easily see it.

Not bad at all!

15 Minutes later he silently slid into the VIP room, startling Margret who was busy molesting Hana using some tools that Victor never saw before. Did she carry those on her?

She was questioning Hana, who was breathing heavily, about her poison curse. She wanted to know if she was the one who hurt Victor.

“Ahh… Young master! Where is Theta?” Margret asked as she watched him pass through the window, quickly hiding the candle in her hand behind her back.

“I left her with Alpha. I got her to go with me because I thought she was my lucky charm, but I ended up being hers…” Victor said as he shook his head. “Don’t go too tough on Hana, she was not the reason I collapsed,” Victor said, as he looked at Hana’s teary eyes.

“Don’t worry young master, I was only preparing her for you… She will be obedient from now on.” Margret said evilly, making him shake his head. Why were most of his girls perverts?

It was as if they were getting some very bad influence from someone. It must be Alex! He will make sure to scold her when he gets back to the mansion.

“Did anyone ask about me?” He asked, shaking his head to remove some stupid ideas.

“Yes, a maid. I told her that you were… a little tired after venting on the new girl… And Your phone kept ringing.” Margret said, giving him his phone back, he left it with her earlier, so that no one could trace him in the forest.

The moment Victor held his phone, it started ringing. Was it happy to get her young master back? Of course not, It was Kai ringing for the fifth time.

“What?” Victor answered,

“Young master, All of your family credit accounts were frozen by the family counsel due to your lavish overspending.” Kai got quickly to the point.

“That was fast.”Victor frowned, he expected to be questioned first. He was ready to play the perverted young master part again.

“It was Elder Frank, young master Titus’s grandfather… He is trying to get more power, but the Patriarch is not yielding, so they are now using every little incident to hack at each other’s influence.” Kai explained.

“What finances were left for me then?” Victor asked,

“You still have your properties, the company's profits, and your personal account, but the young master might need to start spending a little more…. Reasonably from now on.” Kai said,

“Fine… Did you investigate that beggar who broke into the school?” Victor asked,

“Yes. Yulian Poorman. Just a normal beggar, he comes from a family of beggars, nothing dangerous. I guess he was looking for some spot to beg at when he broke into the school.” Kai said, “You no longer need to worry about him.” He added

“Why? Did anything happen to him?” Victor asked, he kept some of his plans secret from even Kai. Yulian was crucial to these plans.

“When they arrested him, some crazy officer found some weed on him. He will be serving some time in prison.” Kai said,

“When will he be out?” Victor asked with a frown.

“The 20th of next month… Do you want me to arrange for someone to kill him?” Kai asked.

“No, don’t touch him… Will he be out in the morning or the afternoon?” Victor asked again

“Early in the morning. That’s the usual protocol.” Kai said, not knowing why his young master was interested in this guy.

“Good… Forget about him for now.” Victor said as he hung up, then began to check his missed calls.

He frowned, most of them were from Kai. But some were from an unknown number. He called it but no one answered. He quickly checked for messages. The unknown number was Lily, using a stolen phone. She sent him only one message.

She was informing him that there was a little complication, but other than that the operation was a success and she was ok. No other details. She would have to brief him later face to face.

Phones were not safe at these times, as he was sure that the family was turning against each other. That’s why she borrowed one.

“Is everything ok?” Margret asked as she saw his frown.

“From now on you and Aria would be responsible for all of my money. The family froze my card. " He said, "I will need you to register a company in a few days and start investing the money we laundered. You better take care and not make me go bankrupt.” He said jokingly,

“Don’t worry, if that ever happens I will pay you back with my body… I will make sister Hana help too,” She replied firmly with bright eyes, making Hana who was listening flinch. She never agreed to this!

“Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that,” Victor said with a chuckle as he put the phone in his pocket and adjusted his new suit. , “Let’s go meet young master Gray.” He said,

He slowly opened the room’s door and walked out followed by Margret and Hana who were walking funny. It was as if her entire family was destined to be spanked that night. That’s what Victor liked to think.

A maid was waiting for him with a blushing face… She heard noises from inside earlier… Very lewd noises.

“Sir, my young master is waiting for you at the southern meeting room.” She said as she bowed down.

“Let’s go then,” Victor ordered, gesturing for her to lead the way.

The maid bowed and began to walk as Victor and the girls followed.
