Chapter 116: Chapter 116 : Romance the Vault

When Iris woke up she was shocked when she discovered that she was hugging a man, He smelled nice. Was this a dream? What the hell? She quickly let go and pushed him away in shock when she saw his face, it was her brother Victor.
It was her perverted brother. Am I dreaming? She wondered. What is he doing in my room? Wait, She quickly sat up and looked around. This was not the room she slept in yesterday. As she has slept with Zoe. This is definitely not a dream, she pinched herself to make sure. It hurt.

Did this pervert bring her here? She checked her body. Her clothes were intact. If he did then why?

“You…. You… When did you come here? What did you do to me?”
At this moment she heard a scream. It was Victor who stood up from the ground while clutching the blanket to his chest while pointing at her, “You pervert, we are a sister and a brother, that thing is not appropriate.“ He yelled as he began to check his body.

Iris froze for a few seconds, what? Was it not him? Bastard. He was definitely acting. She could tell from the smug smile on his face. She really wanted to smack that thing off his mouth.

“When did I get in here? Did you bring me here?” She asked. “And don’t joke around or I would tell Theo… father.” She threatened. She was in no mood for his jokes.

“I did nothing,” he said as he stopped joking and sat on the bed.
“Last night you broke in through the window and hugged me to sleep. I couldn’t say no to a pretty older sister like you.” He said as he pointed to the window, “Your tracks should be outside,” He added.

She quickly headed to the window and began to inspect it, and indeed, she could see traces of climbing on the foliage around it. And those footsteps on the window sill were definitely hers.

She felt very strange. "Did I really sleepwalk? No. Sleep climb? I went to sleep on the upper floor last night." She wondered silently. "Was he lying?" But her body was intact. She needed to check this thoroughly.

“Speak nothing of this,” she warned him as she hastily escaped the room.

Victor chuckled softly, as he stretched his arms. She was not good at all. No one can beat his Lily. Margret was not bad though.

He quickly jumped off the bed and headed to the bathroom to take a bath. After that, he got dressed and went downstairs.

“Why did you leave suddenly last night? Where did you sleep?” The insensitive Zoe was asking Iris, they seemed to have slept together yesterday.

“Did you notice me when I left?” Iris asked her.

“Yeah, you walked out like a zombie. I thought you went to the toilet.” Zoe said.

“Yeah…I…. I had a bad stomach ache.” She said with some embarrassment.

“It’s normal, you were nervous all day yesterday.” Theodore, who was busy reading the paper interjected, making Iris nod.

Victor held his laugh as he sat at the table and began to eat the fried rice omelet a maid put on his dish as Iris shot him a glare. You better keep your mouth shut, was what she meant.

“The Patriarch sent us a notice that You and Zoe were granted the right to select a treasure from the family's vault, so better get ready. Did you ask your grandmother for that?” Theodore asked Victor

“Yeah, when are we going?” He asked his father.

“After two hours.” He said, “I want to take Iris on a trip around the island, so you will have to go with Zoe.” Theodore answered casually.

“Are there many treasurers there? What should I pick?” Zoe, who was stuffing her mouth, asked enthusiastically.

“You can pick a good weapon or a fighting skill,” Falcon said, “The vault has a large collection of treasures, but going through them would take ages and you would only get 30 minutes. You would be only granted access to the first floor, so you would not miss anything important. So I advise you to follow your heart.” He added, making her nod, Victor also nodded, this was very sound advice, especially for a Scion. Those guys can pick a stone from any stall, and it would turn out to be a treasure.

The meal ended quickly, and Victor excused himself and returned to his room, where he began to test his new toy, the Shadow Shifter Ring.

His plan had to be changed. He was planning on using Rita as a distraction to sneak into the hidden vault. But now, he doesn’t need to do that. With this thing, the job has become much easier.

He tried it repeatedly, and in the end, was able to precisely measure its effects. The ring would let him travel through the shadows for a distance of about 15 feet. This distance had something to do with his level. He tried to move further, but it was very slow and too energy-intensive.

He could basically pass through barriers like thick walls and floors, or use it to teleport to the shadow of an enemy.

But this thing had a drawback, it does not work in the light, it needs very dim entrance and exit points. And if by any chance those points were suddenly illuminated, he would be stuck inside the shadows until it is dark again around him.

After one hour Victor guided Zoe to the family Vault while Theodore decided to accompany Iris on a tour around the island. Falcon just gave Zoe an encouraging nod, then went somewhere with George.

They took a car to the Family’s vault, a grand 5 story building carved on the side of the mountain rock. It was gilded with long panels of inscribed gold. Those were not ornaments. But defensive formations. This was one of the most secure buildings on the island. Legend says it was the house of the family's ancestor.

A bald elder with mean eyes met them on the outside.
“Follow me, if you dared to touch anything without permission I would have to punish you.” He warned coldly as he entered the building. They hastily followed inside. Passing many levels of guards.

Zoe was very nervous as she looked around,
“Don’t worry,” Victor told her, as he began to reminisce about this place. In his previous life, he didn’t enter this place, but it ruins. That bastard ransacked the entire place and then burnt it with hellfire. But that was good for Victor, as he was able to enter all the hidden rooms and protected hall as the defensive formations were destroyed.

They quickly reached another hall where Rita was standing nervously waiting. She looked nervously at Victor when she saw him. How was she supposed to please him?

“Hand over your storage ring.” An elder with a broad mustache was standing there. Ordered Victor harshly. It seems like grandma had warned them.

Victor carefully took the ring off his finger and gave it to the elder. Who nodded after inspecting it. Not noticing the other two that were hidden on Victor’s other fingers. Dick’s ring and the Shadow shifter.

The elder carefully inspected everyone before letting them through heavily guarded doors till they reached another hall where an old man with white receding hair was sweeping the floor with a broom in front of a majestic door. He had the word hidden expert-written all over him.
