Chapter 225: Chapter 224: A Game (1)

It took Victor 10 minutes to get bored of the very uneventful hug and let go of Hana, who quickly retreated to sit beside Alpha. Her new best friend.

“How are Theta and the girls?” Victor asked as he relaxed on a couch,

“They are already awake, I had no time to drug them, so you are free to do that yourself,” Alpha said, Making Hana look at him with disgust. She couldn’t believe he took advantage of her like that. Didn’t the contract specify that he can’t sleep with her…. Wait… it only involved sleeping. She remembered what was written exactly. Damn it. She was very emotionally unstable at that time, and he took advantage of that. Bastard.

“Where are they?” Victor ignored her and asked Alpha.

“They were filthy because of all the running in the forest, so I made them take a shower with Theta,” Alpha replied,

“All together?” He exclaimed, Alpha was waiting for him to start drooling but he didn’t.

“Do you want to go check on them?” She asked sarcastically, nudging him.

“Nah… This young master is not in a hurry,” He disappointed her as he relaxed in his seat, making a gesture in his eyes to Margret, who ran quickly to check on the girls. This girl always read his mind perfectly. It was as if she was a pervert in her previous life.

“The girls must be all naked and wet right now…” Alpha interjected again… She had made a bet with Theta that Victor would surely intrude on them if he returned… She can’t lose!

“I like my food slowly cooked,” He disappointed her, forcing Alpha to sigh in disappointment as if she was saying “Whatever suits your perverted tastes.” She owed Theta a favor now.

“Young master… '' Hana hesitated after a few minutes of awkward silence. “What was that material you threw at the men?” Hana asked just as Margret returned to sit next to Victor after making an Ok sign to him. She completely ignores Alpha’s questioning gaze.

“Well, you are a part of the family now, so I don’t really mind telling you.” He said, making her feel awkward as he used a talisman to isolate the room.
“It’s a kind of herb that we found in a dungeon… We combined it with some other poison from another dungeon… The mixture is distilled in alcohol which we bottled..” He explained, “When the bottle breaks, the mixture would start to evaporate, filling the air with the herb particles.” He said,

“What’s its effect?” She asked, looking at him eagerly and totally forgetting what he did a few minutes ago. She was that kind of a girl.

“Basically, it makes the soul weaker. That’s my theory anyway. It makes the people who inhale it very gullible and quick to anger… We found some other herbs too there, but their effect is still unknown, that’s why I need you.” He said, making Hana nod. She finally realized why he paid this much money for her. As a Von Richter she knew exactly how valuable soul-affecting material was.
Alpha who was watching her reaction really wanted to tell her the truth but chose to remain silent. Victor only spent that much money on her because he was using her to launder tons of money. That’s all. He was the one who sold her in the first place!

“But…” Hana, who was totally oblivious to the truth continued, “Why did those men start killing each other? Shouldn’t people with weak souls be more friendly?” She asked,

“Oh… My Margret here used her charm technique on them. Awakening their inner instincts… Their hidden greed and desires.” Victor said briefly. Hana needed no other explanation as she looked at Margret with complex eyes… This girl was literally a femme fatale.

“What other uses do these herbs have?” She quickly changed the subject.

“You are about to find out,” Victor said, flashing his teeth as the three girls were pushed into the room by a shorter one. All of them were dressed in some very revealing maid uniforms that barely covered their hot bodies. Theta with her short body was the exception. The maid's uniform made her look super cute.

“Young master!” Theta quickly ran to Victor, twirled in front of him then sat on his other side, hugging his arm…

“Do I look sexy?” She asked,
“Absolutely… Do you feel better now?” He asked her,

“Um.” She nodded with a bright smile, “Thank you for not intruding into the bath,” She whispered in his ear. She won the bet thanks to that!

Victor chuckled as he watched Alpha glare angrily at the girls who kept pulling hard at their skirts trying to cover the exposed skin that those skirts were meant to highlight.

“Why did you come out like this? Go wear the clothes I put on the bed!” Alpha scolded the girls who seemed to be very afraid of her, one of them was acting tough.

“Mistress… We couldn’t find the clothes…Only those were there…” A girl with short orange hair replied. She was pulling down her skirt while covering her ample chest with her other hand.

“What do you mean you didn’t find….” Alpha stopped and then looked at Margret. That damn slut… She must have replaced the clothes when she left a moment ago.

“Sit down…” Victor ordered with a chuckle, but the girls didn’t comply, they looked at Alpha.

“From now on, young master Victor is your master. You better obey him.” She said, making them quickly sit near each other on a wide couch. They didn’t dare to disobey. They tried to argue with her earlier on the road. It was a big mistake. You can’t argue with a sadist, it would make things only worse.

Nightshade, who knew that Alpha, despite acting bossy, was really nice, was only acting. Victor could see that her eyes were secretly examining everyone in the room.

Hearing Alpha's command, the girls quickly obeyed and sat down not realizing that their skirts were not suitable for that.
Victor watched as the girls who didn’t wear any underwear realized their mistake and closed their legs. Too bad it was already late, He had seen everything by that time.

“Ahm… now… Alpha.” Victor wiped his bleeding nose with a handkerchief then looked at Alpha gesturing to her to begin… This juvenile body of his was getting all excited on its own.

Alpha silently cursed at him as she placed three glasses in front of the girls… They didn’t notice where she got them from.

“We will be playing a drinking game,” Victor said as Alpha took out a wine bottle after that and filled the three glasses full.

“One by one, You will answer my questions.” He said. “Any girl who answers wrong or tells lies would have to take a sip from her glass.” He said, making the girls nod in a hurry. He was going to make them drunk and then assault them. They are familiar with this game… Does he need to do that? Was this one of his hobbies? How would he know if they were telling the truth anyway?

“The one who gets empties her glass first will be my plaything tonight.” He added, confirming their hunch.

“Young master… That’s not good. They will never tell you the truth like this.” Margret corrected him, “Let the one who loses be Alpha’s plaything instead.” Margret said, making the girls shiver a little.

“Oh fine… Alpha, make sure to educate her well. I will take the one who finishes last.” He complained, making Alpha curse again and the girls look at each other nervously.

“Now The first question.” He said, “Introduce yourselves!” He commanded,

“Candle… I have no last name.” The orange-haired one said,
“Mimi…” The second one said she was tall with a thin body that had signs of malnourishment.
“... Nightshade….” Nightshade said she wanted to use her fake name, but remembering that Victor knew the truth, she didn’t lie.

“Good…” Victor nodded, “Second question… How old am I?” He asked,

"I am 17," "18," "17," Candle, Mimi, and Nightshade said one after the other.

"I said me... My age, not you." He corrected them.
They paused pause… How would they know that? Did he desperately want to get drunk? This didn’t make any sense. He can simply order them around to do whatever he wants.

“Ah… 20 No… 19 years old?” Candle asked, Victor, didn’t reply
“19!” Mimi said too, Victor really appears older than he really was. It was the effect of becoming a player.
“23” Nightingale said, she analyzed this carefully. Victor’s behavior earlier in the forest was not something a teenager can pull off. She was sure he was older, and that he wanted to make them drunk.

“All of you are wrong.” He said, slapping his ID on the coffee table… 17 Years old.

“WHAT!” The girls were surprised. If he is this handsome now, how much better would he look when he gets a little bit older. One of them wondered but hid it well.

“Drink up!” He ordered.

The girls hesitated, looking at Alpha who gestured to them to drink… so they quickly took a sip, just a little bit… But it was enough for some non-player girls to become honest.

“The second question… One by one tell me how you became slaves!” He said, “You first, he told Candle.

“Ah… It’s simple, my family sold me… They needed the money.” She said, keeping her head down.

“Now I am your family… You don’t have to worry.” Victor said, as he looked at Alpha who nodded, Their contracts had a brief background check on them.

“Ah… I was taken from an orphanage that was not really an orphanage… I have been raised there my entire life… One day a man came to choose... He had a strange staff. He touched every one of us before picking me up…” She said, also looking down. Victor could see some old scars on her exposed thighs… She had a rough childhood.

“Don’t worry, no one would hurt you here… As long as you are a good girl…” Victor added, she nodded, being wary of Alpha.
“I am also an orphan… They bought me from an orphanage… I lived in the streets before.” She didn’t technically lie. And that story fit the background check that was on her contract. After all, she used a false name and certificates to join the police so when she claimed to have been a beggar at that time frame, the Von Geldstadt interrogators didn’t have a reason to doubt her. She was still 17 after all.

“Oh…” Victor squinted his eyes. This girl needed a higher dose, was it because of her awakened bloodline?

“Now the next question…. Let me think….” He pondered, “How much money can I spend using this card?” He said, slapping the family credit card on the table.

“Ah… 1,000,000?” Candle said, He was really trying to make them drunk.
“10,000,000?” Mimi said,
“This card is unlimited,” Nightshade said she tried to forge one of these before but failed.

“Sadly, you are all wrong. This card was canceled tonight for overspending… So…” Victor pointed to the glasses, making the girls quickly take another sip.

“Dear Nightshade… your skirt had been flipped, “ Victor said at the right moment, making Nightshade who was carefully acting as if she was sipping from her glass take a big gulp as she looked down, confirming that her very short skirt was still covering her private parts, barely.

She wanted to spit the drink that was in her mouth, but fearing that she would be discovered she chose to swallow it, she has a very high alcohol tolerance after all.
She glared at Victor hatefully after that… This bastard might be suspecting her. She really wanted to know how he knew her name and to ask him about the comic book-like events that happened in the forest, but she chose to delay this.
She asked Alpha and theta privately when she woke up completely healed. But both of them told her that she was not ready yet…. Ready for what?

Victor watched as Nightshade’s facial expression changed as she was thinking about some random things. The wine was working, she was losing her cool.

“Now… The next question.” He said with a lazy smile as he relaxed in his chair, “What secrets are you hiding from me?” He asked, Making the girls flinch.
