Chapter 120: Chapter 120 : 100 Beauties

Alpha sighed as she watched the girl clean the mansion. This place was a remote abandoned village in the mountains. It used to be a base for her family before they fell. Now she is going to build a hidden organization here. But those girls need a lot of work. And she must find others.

Too bad this place was abandoned 20 years ago, so it had no modern computers. She needed to get new devices and equipment. Too much work.

“Mistress, we cleaned everything here.” The young girl, Ruby bowed and said respectfully as she shivered a little. This mistress was pure evil.

“Good, from now on you guys will live here, No one should be able to find you, you.” Alpha said as she stood up, “Let’s go give your sisters a lecture.” She said while wondering if she should ask Victor to find her some experts to train the girls.

…

It was already nighttime, When Victor reached the mansion, he was greeted by everyone in the hallway, including the grumpy Margret who kept making threatening gestures at Alex who seemed a little nervous.

Victor, knowing what this was about, couldn't help but chuckle. Margret at this time was about 99% sure that Alex was a girl, she even texted Victor asking for confirmation. Victor only replied with a lazy ‘I don’t want to know.’, confirming her conclusion.

“Lily, go with Hilda and arrange a place for Aria and the girls,” Victor said,

“Shall I take them to the separate building?” She asked.

“No, they will live with others at the servants' dormitory. While Aria will stay with me at the main building.” He said winking at Aria, making her blush a little.

Hilda nodded, then gestured to Lily and the girls to follow her. “Another 7 girls? Would the young master bring others later? He is more perverted than his father.” She thought.

“Do you want to have dinner, young master?” Mana asked,

“No I ate on the plane, just prepare a meal for yourselves,” Victor said. Knowing that the girls must have not eaten anything waiting for him.

“Young master, …Big sister Alpha has not returned yet, do you know anything?” Beta asked suddenly after some hesitation.

“Don’t worry, her mission is a little bit troublesome, but she should be fine. If my guess is correct she should return in a couple of days.“ Victor replied casually, making Beta nod, but she was still unconvinced.

“Alex, follow me, oh, and Margaret too.” He said as he headed toward the Study, which was now filled with a collection of antique books. Hilda works fast.

“Is there anything wrong, young master?” After entering the study, Alex asked nervously, while looking at Margaret. “Did she tell him?”

“Did you watch the news lately?” Victor asked, as he sat down and invited Alex and Margaret to be seated on the opposing couch.

“No, we were busy getting rid of the Lotus gang. Aunt Hilda should have already told you.” Alex replied.

“Yes, those vermin got what they deserved. It’s not about that, Just watch.” Said Victor as he turned on the projector in the study and set it to a random news channel that was still playing the events at Silver Lightning City.

Victor waited as Alex’s expression turned from nervous to serious then ash white, as he watched the news. Margret was surprised too.
After a while, Victor turned off the projector and looked at Alex. “Speak,” He Commanded.

Alex swallowed then after a deep breath she spoke.
“This was my fault,” she said with a sigh while keeping her head down, not daring to look Victor in the eyes.

“How so? Explain.” Victor asked, while Margret, who got really scared seeing the corpses being excavated from the ruins in the news, looked at Alex.

“I…. The Thunder Sect has a secret. We didn't have an awakening artifact.” Alex said nervously, making Victor squint his eyes. Then open them wide…. No, it can’t be!

“It is a half-opened dungeon, isn’t it!” He asked Alex, who was surprised that Victor knew about this. She quickly nodded

“The thunder sect was created when the ancestor, a normal martial artist who was traveling and witnessed a bolt of grand lightning that hit a mountainside, created an upward traveling Silver lightning that returned back into the sky. So the ancestor quickly headed to the place where the lightning struck and there he found a dungeon opening.” Alex said, “He went in bravely. and soon discovered something…The door disappeared and he was stuck inside where the screen indicated that he had become a player. So he began to travel inside and soon encountered a Mantis monster, he could defeat it but was hurt badly, so he made a tactical retreat and during this, he discovered another door leading outside, and to his surprise, it was the same door.” She explained.

“After that, he hid the opening, then began to meet other players and learned about the hidden rules of the world. And discovered that he had something others coveted. A way to turn normal people into players. It seemed that the thunder that struck the mountain hit a weak point in the dungeon and that made it have a crack.”

“So he created the thunder sect in front of it,” Victor said, Alex nodded.

“Yes,” Alex said.

“And?” Victor urged him to continue.

“The dungeon's gate was not stable, it was shrinking, so the ancestor found a formation master who created a locking formation that stopped the closing of the gate. But that made it so it could only be opened once every year when the elites and apprentices who are deemed loyal would be able to go inside it where they would be thrown to random locations. Only 10% made it out. As they needed to find the door inside to leave and enjoy their new status. It was not easy.” Alex said.

“Whaaaat!?” Margret was surprised, “Does that mean you can get a lot of exp for free?” She asked,

“Yes and no,” Alex replied. “The dungeon was never cleared, so there were no rewards in it. But the elite apprentice could go inside and harvest the weak mantises then participate in a raid outside to exchange their exp.” She said,

“And, what does this have to do with you?” Margret asked.

“Ah…, I was the young master of the thunder sect..., and in addition to my father, the patriarch, we were the only ones who knew how to disable the locking formation.” She said,

“The elders and the thunder sect must have tried to break in, didn’t they?” Victor said,

Alex nodded. “That is what seems to be the case, they must have used too much energy and broke the dungeon in the process.” She said,

“I see.” Victor said with a sigh, “We have to do something to hide you, as many powers would be searching for the remaining members of the thunder sect.” He added.

“Will the young master help me?” Alex asked in surprise, she expected that he would sell her or throw her out now that she had become a hot commodity.

“Yes, I will not give up on you.” Victor said, “So... We have two choices.” He added as he began to inspect Alex making her nervous.

“What?” She asked.

“The first one is to lock you someplace dark and never let you see the daylight ever again,” Victor said,

“What about the second choice…” She asked nervously.

“You would have to act like a girl from now on.” Victor said, “Margret, it would be your mission from now on to train him… I mean her… Make her act like a lady. And if she doesn’t do well, just tell me, I will castrate him to make her more feminine.” Victor said, making Alex shocked.
"Don't worry, I will do it myself if needed, It would be quick," Victor said casually as Alex was left speechless.

Margaret was having a hard time holding her laughter. The young master is so bad, but why was he teasing Alex like this? She didn’t care.

“Understood young master, leave it to me.” She said, “But can I be a little rough?” She asked as she liked her cherry lips, making Alex feel a shiver in her spine.

“Yeah, do whatever is needed, I just want nobody to realize that Alex is a man,” Victor said with a smirk that Alex didn’t like at all. She wondered if she should tell him the truth... NO, she promised her father. And she was worried that he would do that to her.....Maybe...

At this moment Hilda returned with Lily after settling Aria and the girls,
“Young master, I settled the girls. And I want to inform you that I installed new security cameras throughout the mansion. We are just missing a few guards.” She said,

“Oh, I will go get a few pretty girls tomorrow to act as guards,” Victor said, making Lily and Margaret shoot him a glare. Pervert young master.

“Where did you put the magazines which were here?” He asked,

“Ah, they are in the Basement, Alpha told me that you wanted a change, so I did that. Does the young master need them?” Hilda asked with uncertainty.

“Depends, who bought them originally?” He asked.

“It was Baron,” Hilda answered.

“Then it's ok, bag them for me, I will be using them the day after tomorrow.” He said with a smile.

“For what?” Margret wanted to ask but chose not to, it’s not polite to ask about her young master’s perverted hobbies unless she was involved.

“Ah, that reminds me.” Alex suddenly exclaimed, “Young master, we got the things you wanted from the brothel.” she said as she ran out of the study.

Hilda sighed as she looked at Alex leaving, she really didn’t like this young man. And she couldn’t understand why the young master let him live in the main mansion.

“I will take my leave then,” Hilda said respectfully and left, she doesn’t want to see what dirty things they got from the brothel.

Alex returned quickly with the loot bag and placed it on the table with a grin.

Victor smiled and gestured to Lily to close the door, then sat at the desk, and began to take the items one by one under the girl’s curious eyes.

First, it was Baron’s ID, after taking a look at it he stored it in his ring, this should be useful soon.

After that a black ink pen. Victor quickly used a series of moves to convert the normal-looking pen into a USB stick, which he threw at Lily.
He got this thing in this past life too when he investigated Baron. It was a treasure trove of blackmailing materials.

“I want you to inspect everything here. It should contain some good data in addition to a ledger of Baron’s black deals.” He said as he took the hard drive out of the bag.

“This is?” He asked,

“Ah, Alpha said you might need it. It contains the security recordings of the brothel.” Margret said.

“Good,” Victor said as he also handed it to Lily, Inspecting this should be a good first mission for the girls.

Next was A golden Dagger,
“Alpha told me that Baron intended to use this on her before she killed him and he seemed hesitant, and she didn’t recognize it,” Margret interjected

Victor frowned and appraised it.
