Chapter 273: Chapter 272: Mission

It was a couple of hours before dawn when Victor finally reached his mansion. That bastard Tom sure knew how to run, but the Nutcracker caught with him eventually. No one could escape from his clutches.

Victor casually greeted the two chicks dressed in suits who were guarding the front gate then walked in.

He noticed that there were quite a few cement bags here and there in the front yard, proof of recent construction works. It seemed like Hilda had already started renovating the basement.

Entering the mansion, Victor was immediately assaulted by Lily who was of course the only one waiting for him. She hugged him hard.

“Did the girls sleep?” Victor asked after he dragged his body and hers which were now glued onto him to the study. He just threw himself on the leather chair and relaxed. He was utterly exhausted.

“Um… They were tired after all the stuff that happened in the dungeon and the interrogation yesterday. Hilda wanted to wait for you, but I told her to go get some sleep,” Lily said as she adjusted herself on his lap as if this was the most natural thing to do. She put her head on his chest, relaxing to the sound of his heartbeats. She was feeling very frustrated because she wasn't of any help in the dungeon. That vixen Lin was more helpful than her. Even that idiot Alex played a role!
