Chapter 190: Chapter 189: Gifts

In order for Ruby to heal him, Victor went to the not-so-little bedroom connected to the office and took off his shirt. He silently thanked his late brother Nick for such a considerate arrangement, as he carefully sat on the bed.

Victor wanted this done with the healing quickly as he was beginning to have a hard time not looking at the hot girls entering his office one after another.

Margret and the twins wanted to watch the healing process, but Victor only allowed Lily inside to guard the door.

Ruby blushed as she carefully sat beside him and looked at Victor’s bare chest. Although this was not her first time seeing a man naked by a long shot, no one in her memory could compare to Victor. He was dashing.

"Wha... What kind of damage does the young master want to heal?" Ruby asked with a blush... There was not even a scar on his perfect skin.

"Well... Keep it a secret. A few days ago I split my soul... Think of it like cutting an arm, it is a very nasty wound." He said as Lily gasped, Although she didn't fully get it, she didn't think that his injury was this bad.

Ruby didn't get it at all.

"Just think of the soul as you put your hand here." Victor said as he pointed to a certain point on his stomach. making her nod. She would try.

She carefully put her hand on a certain point above his navel where he instructed her and began to focus her healing energy as the bag of Gems beside her became empty... It was working and she could feel his injured soul, it was like a piece of silk flowing under her hand with some cut edges and loose threads. those were the injury.

The healing took 15 minutes. Unfortunately, despite having enough Gems for energy, a soul injury was very demanding, and Ruby was only able to heal about half of it… In the end, she collapsed on Victor’s chest and lost consciousness. That was to be expected, as Victor literally split his soul in half!

Victor slowly sat down and then let the fainted Ruby lay in his place as Lily helped him wear his shirt back.
“Did it work?” She asked.

“Somewhat… Let her rest for a while… Let's continue the interviews…” He said as patted Lily’s head and then slowly removed her veil to test his self-control. He could look at her safely now. But not for long as his self-discipline was now only comparable to a normal pervert like Tom.

After 2 minutes and 12 seconds, Victor let go of her then quickly turned and hurried to the office while wiping the blood off his nose. Lily carefully put her veil back with a chuckle.

…

Six hours later, the interviews were over. Victor looked with satisfaction at the chart in his hand. The 63 Brothel girls in addition to Beta, her sisters, and Camellia… A total of 70 new players were added to his team…

Beta and her sisters all got fighting Classes, which probably has something to do with their bloodline.
The brothel girls had varying ones, just as he wanted. Some had generic ones like cook and maid, while others got some seduction, charm, and interrogation-oriented ones.
He doesn't plan to let them serve any men though, he's a selfish boy who doesn’t share his toys.

In addition to that, there were 7 sorcerers and 5 Tamers which was not bad at all. Only three other girls were really interesting, Ruby, an Eldritch healer, a Dark Paladin who had some interesting hobbies, and a Curse Witch named Tina whom Victor didn’t like at all. She had a very, very dirty mouth. According to her, she cursed a lot at the men in the brothel and it became a bad habit.

He was forgetting someone. No not Archie…

Victor turned and looked at Mira who was competing with Lily massaging his shoulders. Now that his soul was somewhat healed by Ruby, he can enjoy his hobbies again to a certain extent.

“I totally forgot about you.” He said as he took a ring and before she could comprehend what happened put it on her finger. It was a little different from the ones he gave to the brothel girls earlier as if it were of a higher quality.

“Ahhh… Thanks…” She said as she blushed. Why are things always reversed with him? She asked herself, shouldn’t they date a little first?

“Train your skills secretly and don’t tell anyone that you became a player, not even your father, as he will report it to the family,” Victor told her.

“Why?” Mira asked, she didn’t like hiding things from her daddy.

“They will ask unnecessary questions. And in case of a family emergency, I would have to get all the players under me to serve the family. They already know about the twins, Hilda, Aria, and Lily…. That’s already a lot of player servants for a normal heir.”

"They know about kai as well," Lily interjected.

"That guy can go and die for all I care, I don't care about men," Victor replied.

“What about me, young master?” Margret asked.

“I filed you as an employee, they have no power over you… And they don’t know about Alpha, the girls, and Alex. You should know that.” He quickly clarified.

“I didn’t mean that… I meant my gift. Where is my gift? Didn’t you bring me something from your trip?” She explained, extending her slender hand as Lily squeezed his shoulder a little stronger too. She wanted hers too. Alex had already told her that they went shopping for gifts.

“Ohhh. I almost forgot.” Victor said as he took a big bag from his storage ring and began to rummage through it.

“First… Margret… This is for you.” Victor said giving Margret a weird-shaped antique hairpin that had a big gem in it…

“This is?” She asked, realizing something.

“Yes, it is an artifact, it is an escape artifact. It is called the Wing of Meer. The jewel takes about a week to recharge, which gives you a chance to use it once to escape danger and insta-travel to a distance of two miles. When I saw it I thought of you when you were escaping from those horny goblins at the dungeon back then.” He said with a smile making her blush. True, this thing was extra useful if she bit more than what she can chew while fighting.

“Now. The next one is for both of you…” Victor said to the twins as he took two Identical bracelets.

“Those two are called Omega Switch bracelets. They can allow you to switch places in an instant, I thought they could be useful in battle in case one of you got injured.” He said as they put them on with a smile. ”They are both A rank… But have the restriction that requires the two wearers to be about the same body build, so make sure that you stay slim, if one of you got too fat they will not work,” He said, making both of them glare at him.

“Don’t worry, we will get fat together.” They spat at the same time and then began to chuckle.

“Suit yourselves” He sighed as he took a very old huge crossbow and threw it to Theta, she could barely receive it.

“This is?” She asked with some annoyance as she had some difficulty holding it, it was as tall as she was.

“It’s obviously a very old crossbow.” He said. Making her pout…

“It has a very low accuracy…” He added, making her eyes shine…

“Thanks…” She said, using this thing she bet on massive critical damage in exchange for the accuracy rate…She was not entirely happy though, she wanted something more feminine.

“Take this too, I remembered you when I saw it.” He said, giving her a cat-shaped hair ornament. It was not an artifact. But she smiled sweetly when she got it. She really likes cute stuff.

“Now… What is left is this…” He took another thing and threw it to Alpha. “I think it suits you.” He said as she caught the metallic ball-shaped Artifact with a frown. It had trace lines like some circuit diagrams on its brass-colored shell. It looked very mysterious as if it were something from a video game.

“What is this? A bomb?” She asked.

“You don’t know? I got it from your family’s vault!” He asked.

“No. We don’t have info about all the treasures our family got, that would require too much knowledge transfer from different people. That would hurt us as babies... They only teach us about the important treasures.” She explained.

“This is an SSS-ranked treasure... Isn't that important enough? Your family was placing it with the rocks and minerals… They didn’t know what it was… I guess they didn’t have an appraiser with enough Authority.” He said, pointing to his eye.

“It is an eye?” She asked.

“Yes, This thing is super amazing. It is called the Sky Eye. Something in its description about being one of the 21 immortal eyes.” He added without care.

“What does it do?” She asked as she licked her lips. For others, they might need to sacrifice an eye to try it, but for her… She was already missing one.

“Try it…” He said.

She hesitated as slowly removed the eyepatch, making the girl gasp at the sight of the ugly scar left on her face reaching from her eyebrow to her cheek… That Titus was a monster.

She didn’t need to push the artifact in, as just as it was close enough to her eye socket it shone and like mercury, it flew inside making Alpha scream in pain and fall to her knee as she held her head covering her eye socket with her hand.

The girls were a little scared but watching Victor's calm face, they calmed down too and waited.

It took five minutes for her to stand up again and open her new eye that shone with blue light as she looked around… She looked very menacing with it.

“The eye has three functions. First, it can let you look and survey anything around you in a sphere of 5 Miles as if you were looking from the sky” Victor explained, “The second is that it has A-level appraisal powers. And.. well… I will not reveal your secrets.” He stopped talking as she glared at him.

“This is for you Mira…” Seeing that Alpha sat down and began to test her new eye, Victor quickly took out a pair of earrings and gave them to Mira, “They are just normal earrings... But I thought they looked mystical and suited you well.” He said making her take them with a blush as Lily who was still expecting her gift glared at Victor.

“And Finally my Lily…” Victor said as he took a gold chain that had a golden pearl at its end, making Alpha look at it with great interest…

“This chain is a protection artifact… But the most important thing is not it.” He said as he put it by himself on the blushing Lily’s neck. He had attached the soul pearl to the indestructible chain he got earlier from his family's vault.
“The pearl is more valuable. Much more…” He explained then said the next few words only in Lily’s ear, “It contains half of my soul… It is already yours.” He said, making her open her mouth in surprise, then, blushing more, she stroked it carefully with a smile, making the girls wonder what this was. Before they could ask, they were thrown out of the room.

“Now… You girls can go arrange your teams. I need to talk to Alpha privately. Oh, and take Ruby who is eavesdropping behind the door with you.” Victor casually said, making all the girls look at the bedroom door, where Ruby who woke up 30 minutes earlier was supposedly hiding.
