Chapter 115: Chapter 115 : Night Visit

Victor didn’t have to wait for long, as two hours later his father left the hall with Falcon and the girls. The smile on their faces was grander than when they went in.

“Let’s go celebrate.” His father told him as they headed to his mansion on the main Island. The results, which everyone already knew, were supposed to be announced tomorrow, so they would stay here tonight.

When they reached the mansion, A grand meal was already prepared by George who greeted them respectfully as the maid brought the dished.

Zoe who has already eaten in the waiting hall, she didn’t mind having another meal. As for Iris, she was nervous earlier so she was very hungry, but she kept giving Victor nasty stares. as if she was wondering how did he do it. Pervert.

“What are your classes?” Victor asked them with a chuckle.

“Victor, you can’t ask such a question,” His father warned.

“It’s OK, I am a HERO, and Iris is a Thief,” Zoe shouted proudly before Falcon could stop her.

“You shouldn’t give your information this easily.” He warned her with a stern voice and then a sigh, this girl will always do what she wants.

Zoe just poked her out playfully making him shake his head. This girl was hopeless.

“Ah, a Hero. That’s interesting? What does it mean?” Victor asked.

“It is a rare class. It provides proficiency in all weaponry, and in theory, you would get more experience and skills the more good deeds you do.” Theodore said, “You must not tell anyone about this though, it would make you a target for the family's enemies." He added before inspecting her closely "I wonder how many good deeds have you done for the system to grant you this class?” He said making Zoe blush a little. She has always been more fit than the others in the mountain and liked using her powers to help others.

“If the class has something to do with a person’s life, Then why is big sister Iris a thief?” Victor asked the question he was intending to ask, making Falcon and Zoe look at her, they also wanted to know.

“Ah….” She hesitated as Theodore looked at her, “I want to know that too,” He asked, the report George gave him didn’t include anything of this sort.

“Well…..” She said, “My adoptive mother was a thief, and she taught my younger adoptive sister and me how to do it. We had even gone on a few missions with her.” She answered embarrassingly.

“Why are you so poor then?” He asked her, The report clearly stated that they didn’t have money for her father’s operation and that she needed to work two jobs to keep her sister in school.

“Well, My adoptive mother, hid the truth from my father, who discovered everything when she died on a mission, so he forbade us from stealing.” She said, “He said, he would rather die than take a tainted penny, so we swore to him that we would never do it again.” She said while keeping her face down, making everyone a little surprised, this girl was not as useless as she seems to be.

“How good are you precisely?” Victor suddenly asked,

“Well, my mother was the blue phantom thief. I haven't reached her level, but she praised me repeatedly as a natural.” She said, making everyone, including George who was supposed to investigate her, gasp.

The blue phantom thief was a legend, he stole many of the greatest treasures in the world. Then suddenly all of the sudden disappeared a few years ago. Many speculated that he retired. But it seems she passed away.

“Then what happened to all the money your mother gathered in her life? She must have had a lot.” Victor asked again.

“Well,... we don’t know. That’s the problem. Adoptive mother hid this very well and never told us.” Iris said with a sigh, “Adoptive Father would not take any of it anyway.” She added.

“Don’t worry about such things, you would not need those things anymore” Theodore said, as he began to eat, secretly gesturing to George to try to find out everything about this. Those treasures would be of great use to the family.

“Oh, that reminds me, You will go with Zoe tomorrow to the main vault. She was granted elite status too. So you would need to enter the vault to select a treasure.” Theodore said to Victor.

“What about Iris?” He asked.

“Sadly, she is too old and was raised outside the family. And unlike Zoe, her class was not something the family really needed. But her attributes were good, so she was only granted a first-degree heir status.” Theodore said as he sighed. The elders in the family didn’t want Theodore to have a fourth elite descendant, so they pressured the patriarch into this.

“Oh, ok.” Said Victor as he looked at Zoe and smiled, making her blush a little.

 

…

 

Rita was overjoyed, she never thought that the family would grant her an elite status. But her joy was not long-lived, as her grandfather didn’t even spare her a glance as he arranged a mahogany casket for Carlos’s body as soon as they returned to their island.

She could only sigh as she looked out of the window onto the moon illuminated ocean.
Tomorrow he sends the body to a secret meeting place on the pretense of burying Carlos in his hometown, where it would be given to Von Zwei.

She was hesitant at first, but after a few friendly electrical shocks from the system, she learned her place and decided to act. Her grandfather would be miserable, but what does that have anything to do with her.

She went downstairs to the garden where many trained security hounds were patrolling. She randomly took three of them and headed to the main warehouse, where the body was placed, and prepared to be shipped in the morning. She was going to give him a night's visit.
Thankfully no servants dared to wander here after her grandfather killed two of them. Their fault was for treating the casket a little too harshly when transporting it.

She carefully removed the seals and opened the casket. Carlos’s body was sleeping there peacefully. Not for long.
She never liked this guy. He knew pretty well that she was his brother’s fiance, yet insisting on harassing and peeping on her. He wanted to control every aspect of her life. Now, look at what happened to him. Maybe it was the system? She didn’t know.
