Chapter 234: Chapter 233: Fake (5)

“Now that the brat is gone, we can talk business,” Victor said to Monica, “I will give you two choices!” he said.

“What?” she asked nervously, hiding her true thoughts. It's time damn it! She knew this line! He was definitely going to bite her and turn her into one of his kind. She was not ready yet! But… but…

“You can either stay ignorant and live your life as a normal girl or….” he stopped talking as he watched the creepy smile on her face…. “I guess you already made up your mind.” He chuckled, taking out another book and giving it to her.

“Ah… What is this?” she asked, feeling a little disappointed as Margret by her side chuckled.

“A training manual. Take this one and do the exercises in it every morning before school… Your body might not handle the transition so I need you to build a suitable foundation,” he said, disappointing her.

“Now you can leave… and don’t tell anyone about our conversation. We will talk about your awakening ceremony once you are ready,” he said,

She looked at him with a frown, wanting to say something. After some pondering, she chose to remain silent, so she just nodded and stood up, and walked out of the study after giving him and Margret a glare as she shut the door.

“You are going to make her a player?” Margret asked straight away.

“I found a treasure in her house, it belongs to her family. I think she comes from an ancient player family, It’s an awakening artifact,” he explained.

“What treasure? Don’t tell me it was that slab under the vase!” she asked, and watched Victor nod in confirmation.
“Why did no one know about it?” Margret was surprised, in her previous life she never encountered players, but now they kept popping up around her like mushrooms.

“There exist a lot of families around the world that used to be a player family or a branch of one,” Victor explained, “Most of them lack the knowledge of their heritage, and those who know, lack the means to return to their former glory... You see, once a family loses its awakening artifact or the power to make it work, they would be destined to die out slowly… The useless awakening artifact will slowly turn from a treasure to an heirloom then after a few generations when its true function gets forgotten the artifact which was worshiped by the grandfathers would be used as a door holder by the grandchildren.”

“Oh…” Margret nodded,

“The artifact in Monica’s family can only be activated by someone who has an awakened bloodline. Her family’s blood probably got diluted over the ages so they slowly lost the ability to awaken it as most families did… The problem was that their artifact was dependent on it, so they could not become players.” He said, “Monica here has some amazing bloodline, but it needs awakening first for the artifact to work on her... I can’t let her upgrade her bloodline just like that though, that would be a waste. I will make her upgrade it too with the rest of the girls,” he expressed.

“You keep mentioning this awakening and upgrading… Can’t you do it now? Why are you waiting until after the wedding? Is marrying Lily really that crucial?” she asked the question she had in mind for a while… She wanted to change the subject too, as she didn’t have a bloodline and was feeling a little jealous…. No, not just a little.

“Awakening is easy, upgrading is very hard. Nearly impossible. Marrying Lily is important, but Marrying Lin is what’s crucial for the awakening. I will be using her to do a summoning ritual to call a unique monster that has the power to upgrade bloodlines… The summoning ritual might take a couple of days, and I need a way to stay at the mansion for a few days with Lin without raising suspicion. The wedding is perfect for this…” he said.

“Oh… Everyone would think that you are busy harvesting flowers and didn’t want to be disturbed…” she said, feeling a little jealous again.

“Exactly. Now, if you have nothing else to say, you can go play with the girl. This young master still has things to do,” he said,

“No…I wanted to ask you something, it’s about Alex…” Margret said,
“You want to know why you feel strange about him? If my guess is correct, your soul still retains my mark from before the time leap. You must have felt that something was missing when you looked at him,” Victor explained,

“Ohh… No… I was not going to ask about that… And stop using the male pronoun on her, it makes me feel sick!” Margret said, still angry about her toys. Although Victor never truly confessed to her about Alex's true gender. It was completely clear to her by this time.

“Oh… Ok then, What did you want to ask about?” Victor asked,

“That idiot took all my new toys…” she said, puffing her cheeks, “You must have been watching how she tricked me!”

“Yes…I saw that…” he paused and glared at her… she set him up!

“Ah… so you have always been peeping! All the time! You Pervert!” she said, raising one eyebrow, “How are you doing it? Are there cameras around the mansion?” she asked, looking around.

“I never hid this. And I already told everyone about it, but no one realized how powerful the array I placed in the basement was. It allows its master to see and hear everything within a few miles perimeter. You should have already figured that out,” he said watching her act stupid.

“He he… even in the bathrooms?” she asked the right question.

“This young master has no need to use such means,” he sat down on the couch, stating his point, and professionally dodging the question.

“True… It’s not that I mind, I am just asking to check your fetishes…” she said as she pushed herself on him, pinning him by putting her hands around his neck and her knee in between his legs as she looked him in the eye… She might appear indifferent, but really wanted him to marry her too… She was feeling extra jealous of Lily.

“What’s up with you? Did you go on heat, knowing that I was peeping on you?” He asked casually,

“Maybe I did...” she said, earning herself a slap on her butt... It stung.

“Ahh…” she yelled in surprise as she collapsed on the now empty couch. Victor was not sitting there. It was an illusion. DAMN IT! She will get her revenge one day.

“We will have time for that later,” he said as he walked to his chair earning himself a glare from the annoyed Margret. She wanted to tease him a little, but this bastard was as usual very slippery.

“Can’t you just enjoy my teasing for a moment!” she complained, “People used to pay fortunes for much less than this.” It was in her previous life.

“I do enjoy it, but this young body of mine doesn’t know yet how to enjoy tasting wine…” he said, shaking his head,

“Oh…” She seemed to have realized the problem, Although Victor acts like an old man, his hormones were those of a teenager. “Is your soul still injured?” she asked,

“Nah, it’s much better, Now go play with Alex…. I have some things to do… Oh, and keep the toys on her, she might need them very soon,” he said casually kicking her out.

“What are you going to make her do?” Margret asked, still refusing to leave.

“Tomorrow I will be going to Newlure city, she will accompany me.” He said,

“What? Why her? Take me too!” Margret said,

“No… Alex is officially my butler. And I am going to propose, it’s not appropriate to go with another girl,” he said as if Alex was not a girl.

“I promise to be obedient… Please… Please… Please…” she said, making him ponder as he looked at her sparkling eyes.

“Is it about that guy you have been stalking?” he asked, he had seen(peeped on) her room before, but not knowing that she was also a time traveler, he believed that this was a plot she was preparing to steal some money from. Now, he realized that this must be some revenge plot.

“Um… “ she nodded, looking down.

“Was he the one who extracted your soul?” he asked.

“No, this one used to be my boyfriend… He was the first guy I trusted…It was a mistake. He was the one who introduced me to that guy Mr.X… That man was very mysterious, he always wore a mask and hid his identity, so I have no idea how to get to him other than this one.” she said,

“I can grab him and cut him up for you…” Victor said she could feel the jealousy in his words which made her feel a lot better.

“No… This one is mine! I will cut him up myself!” she said decisively,

“Oh… Then wake up early tomorrow, and after arriving at Newlure city, we will split up…” he pondered, having her with him might complicate his plans. “I will introduce you to someone who would help you through…” he pondered,

“Who?” she asked, “Another girl?”

“Nope, my brother Mike. He is stationed there… If anything went wrong you can ask for his help, he is trustworthy. Be careful though, I don’t want him to snatch you from me…” Victor said with a weird smile.

“Why? He likes redheads?” she asked, twirling her locks as she smiled.

“No, he likes sluts!” Victor stated, ruining her good mood.

…

The woman in the shadows left the villa with a very disturbing face. She had one mission and it was to find where her mistress Lily went!

After losing track of Lily and the men accompanying her, the family sent the spy to check Victor’s mansion. Lily was not there, but what the spy found out was very disturbing.

It took her an hour to reach her master’s room where he was busy with his reports as usual. As the headmaster of the academy, he had a lot of responsibilities.

“Did you find Lily?” He asked after putting down his pen,

“No…” She shook her head. “But her life’s jade is still intact so she must have survived that explosion,”

“Then what? Did something happen to Yulian?” he asked, she would never appear in front of him without a good reason.

“No, young master Yulian is fine, he even made some friends in prison… It’s about that leach Victor,” she spat his name hatefully.

“What about him?” James asked.

“I just peeked at the mansion from outside. He was sitting there surrounded by girls who kept feeding him with their mouths and massaging his legs as he laughed stupidly…” she said,

“What’s wrong with that?” James asked, he does that with his wives every once in a while. It helps him relax.

“It’s not that… When I was upstairs I overheard a little girl… She seemed to be also a maid in the mansion. She was talking about how he would teach her some kind of magic trick… and that her body was not strong enough to take it!... That bastard! That child is about 8 years old!” the spy cursed, making James realize that she only came here to vent.

“You must have misunderstood him,” he said. Such words can mean different things.

“Definitely not! WE CAN'T LET THE YOUNG LADY STAY WITH HIM!” the spy said emotionally.

“Don’t be impulsive, I don’t think that anyone would touch the young lady. You saw her by yourself. I couldn’t eat for an entire day after seeing her face.” He said,

“Ah…Yes, poor young lady…. But he is making her serve him… Master…” The spy complained,

“Enough… Nothing will happen to the young lady. If there was even a 1% chance that anyone would touch her, the family would have pulled her out a long time ago!” He scolded, “This involves some things bigger than both of us! Just keep an eye on the situation for now… And hasten the efforts to find the young lady's location. The family wants to know if she had anything to do with that explosion.” He said,

“I Understand,” The spy said as she faded into the darkness with a bitter expression.
