Chapter 288: Chapter 287: An Invitation

After breakfast, Victor directly went to the study where to Lily's surprise he took a screwdriver and began poking it inside the door’s lock in a perverted way… Did being a virgin for so long ruin his head? She needed to fix that... The wedding was soon, she reassured herself.

Finishing with the now screwed lock, Victor took out a precious-looking amulet and put it on the desk. This was one of the treasures he stole from Sebastian that day, and he couldn’t publicly use it so he planned to give it to Tom.

Lily said nothing as she wondered what her young master was planning. She had a feeling that he was strangely enjoying his time!

After that, Victor climbed to his room where he put on his signature purple suit then left the mansion with Lily and Monica heading toward the Academy, but not going to class. After the skeleton dungeon’s accident, all the elite classes were canceled for the next three weeks while the council investigated everything.

The trip only took half an hour, during which Lily, who had some very guilty conscience the entire morning, couldn’t help but spill the beans about the girl's secret trip yesterday when Victor asked what she was hiding.
Monica, who was in the back, wanted to jump and make the traitor Lily shut up, but she didn’t dare to do that! She just looked down in shame and waited for Victor to scold her.

“Don’t worry… You girls needed to let out some steam after all!” Victor chuckled, making the surprised girls sigh in relief, he was not angry. “And I have been keeping an eye on you!” he added after a while.

“Ah… What? '' Monica was a little shocked… Lily wasn’t.

“Don’t worry, I completely trust you, girls… And no matter what, you are mine!” he repeated as he stopped his custom white steed car in the academy’s parking lot and then arrogantly stepped down.

“Let's go, and make sure not to be late tonight… ” He told the still blushing Monica who had to attend the normal classes today.

“Um…” she said with a blush as she stepped down after him.

“MONICA! Why didn’t you come to school last week? AND WHO IS THAT?” an idiot screamed suddenly, making Victor look back to see an arrogant boy who had quite a few piercings all over his body approaching. He was wearing a normal student school uniform that didn’t do anything good to his punk image.

The boy quickly reached Victor's position with his friends, who automatically surrounded Victor and his group. A keen-eyed viewer would easily tell that they were experts in cornering guys and forcibly taking girls.

“I am her fiance!” Victor replied coldly, grabbing Monica’s hand and making her go into shock as she began to breathe quickly while squeezing her legs together… He still had that effect on her. And it was getting stronger as his bloodline began to awaken.

“Didn’t I tell you that you are mine?” the boy asked, glaring at Monica, who wasn’t paying attention to him anymore…

“I …never promised… a thing! You… You … were the one… hara… harassing me!” she spat with some difficulty without even looking at him. She only had eyes for Victor and she really needed to run to the ladies' room at the moment…

“You heard the girl!” Victor said as he wondered why Monica's reaction was stronger than usual, was it because they were in public? interesting…

“What?” the young man asked like a thug as he watched Victor smile lewdly.

“Lily… Make it quick!” Victor focused again and said with a sorrowful tone.

“Should I do one or two, young master?” Lily asked her young master a very hard question.

Victor frowned, that was a difficult question indeed, as it would affect the poor young man’s future! Victor looked at the idiot who was totally unaware that his and his children’s destiny was at stake! “As I said, Monica is already engaged. Will you leave her from now on?” Victor asked nicely. He was at the academy after all, and he needed to give the principal some face! He was going to scam him big in a few days after all.

The young man frowned wondering if he should confront Victor or not… His father always told him to gauge his enemies.
The purple suit Victor was wearing was very domineering, but it might also mean that he was a nouveau riche or a pimp. Looking closely, the young man didn't see any brands on the suit, confirming his guess.
Next, he carefully looked at the car behind Victor. The car was definitely a knockoff, he could tell easily from the small white horse statue at its front… It looked more like a dragon than a horse. This was definitely some cheap replica that was trying to imitate the real white steed his uncle had!

“FUCK YOU! I am also giving you a warning. Stay away from Monica, she is mine from now on!” the young man replied to Victor after considering his options. He feared no one, but he didn't want to cause trouble in school so soon. His uncle, who was the new CEO of White Investments, arranged for him and his friends to be transferred to this elite school two weeks ago. That's when he fell in love with Monica at first sight! And he never backed down, ever!
If he got kicked out of school, his father would surely kick his ass, so he. wanted to resolve this peacefully, unlike his usual methods where he broke the guy’s legs and stole the girl immediately.

“Are you sure?” Victor asked with a tired expression. The misfortune curse was really in full effect, hurting innocent bystanders

“Get the fuck away from here, before I choose to break one of your legs!” the young man threatened arrogantly, feeling Victor’s ‘fear’. He will never kill the guys he confronted, he would only hurt them badly and then leave them alive to threaten the girls with killing their former lovers!

“Two it is then…” Victor said with a sigh as he looked at Lily apologetically.

“It’s ok young master… This makes things much simpler….” Lily explained before she suddenly vanished, appearing right behind the young man and then swiftly kicking him between his legs with her steel-reinforced sneakers, cracking both of his nuts in one fluid motion that made even the Von Krone spy, who was watching from over a nearby tree, nod in approval. That’s how it was done!

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH…” The young man began to howl as he clutched his crotch, making his friends look at each other and then try to attack Lily and Victor with retractable pocket knives that they swiftly took from their belts… That was a wrong decision, the worst they would ever do!... As men anyway.

…

After they finished cleaning the garbage, Victor sent Monica to her class… No, to the lady’s room with a kiss, then casually made his way with the veiled Lily to the principal’s office under the envious eyes of the normal students. They watched how that bossy teacher came after that young man began to scream, then to their surprise, he began to scold the victim before groveling to Victor the perpetrator, telling him that he was sorry for teaching such garbage and that he will take care of this…. What’s wrong with this school?
Was being in the elite class really that important? How does one enter that class? No, one knew. This was one of the seven mysteries of the academy!

Anyway, reaching the principal’s office Victor frowned as he didn’t see the big-boobed secretary that usually sat to the side. The inner office's door was open, and Victor could hear a group of people yelling at each other from the inside.

“This is against the rules!”

“Calm down… We will see to it…”

““I caught them making out behind an old tree!.... I want him reported to the police!”

“Let’s not go that far… They just love each other… love is not illegal!”

“It is for her! How can a teacher get into a relationship with his students? How can you hire such garbage…”

“Mr. Tobi already agreed to resign! And this is between them!”

“But he is a lowly rogue Player…. This is definitely unacceptable… How am I going to explain this to young master David?”

“Calm down….. I already told you Mr. Tobi will not teach here anymore!”

“That’s not enough!... I want him to suffer… He scammed my daughter! “

“Daddy Stop… I love him!”

Slap…

“Shut up you b*tch! Ruining our family's reputation and my perfect plans!”

Victor frowned as he heard the arguments. He sent a message to his father then winked at Lily and pushed the door entering the room where the principal, James Trove was confronting a brown-haired man who was grabbing Elma by her arm. She had a red slap mark on her face. Mr.Tobi was standing to the side wanting to hurry and help her, but the secretary who was 3 times his size was grabbing him. She was a very strong player with a wrestler class.

“Am I disturbing something?” Victor said causally as he knocked on the door to announce his presence.

“Vi… Young master Victor!...” The principal was surprised. “If you can excuse us for a few minutes, we will wrap this quickly…” he said after noticing Lily who was standing to the side. She looked fine.

“There will be no need for such an arrangement! I already understand the situation!” Victor said as he turned to Mr. Tobi. “You resigned?” he asked.

“Ahh… Yes…” Mr. Tobi said with a weak voice.

“Good,” Victor said as he took a look at his phone “Tomorrow morning, go report to work at White Thorn holdings. They need a man of your capacities as a site manager…” Victor said, making Mr.Tobi frown and then open his eyes wide. White Thorn? Wasn’t that the holding company that has the management right for more than 100 cleared dungeons?
A 'Site Manager' was a highly sought position to supervise one of the cleared dungeon’s excavations, because sometimes there would be unexpected things a player was needed. It was a very lucrative and relatively safe job.

“You don’t want to?” Victor asked with a frown.

“No! I would love to!” Mr.Tobi said. He realized that Victor was helping him, this job comes with accommodation for the supervisor’s family near the dungeon after all!

“Good…” Victor said, then turned to Elma’s father. “Now that Mr. Tobi is financially secure, Elma will be his fiancee from now on!” he said. “You don’t have any excuses to refuse, as he now works for a first-rank family!”

“What…”

“If you refuse, I will tell my father to cut all ties with the GreenTree family, then let them know that it was your fault…”

“Ah… You are…?”

“Ah, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Victor…. Victor Von Weise… My father is Theodore Von Weise,” Victor shamelessly used his father’s name, making the man open his mouth wide and look at his daughter, then at Mr. Tobi, and finally at the principal before cursing silently and walking out of the office, leaving his daughter behind… He planned to betroth her to a powerful young master from a second-ranked family and then ask them for help with his bid for the patriarch position! But now his plans are over! He didn’t dare to anger Victor.
Maybe he should try to marry off Elma’s sister, but that girl was still 6 years old….

“Ah…” Elma was shocked by her father’s reaction.

“Thank you, young master….” Mr.Tobi said to Victor as he ran to the shocked Elma and held her hand. That’s the benefit of belonging to a powerful family. One word solved the problem.

“Now… Can we talk?” Victor asked the principal, who quickly nodded and then gestured to Tobi and Elma to leave with his secretary who closed the door behind her.

“What can I help you with, young master?” The principal asked professionally, totally ignoring Lily who stood behind Victor.

“Ah… Nothing major, I just wanted to invite you to my wedding!” Victor said as he took a golden envelope then gave it to James.

“Oh… I heard about it… You are marrying that Von Rosen, and a Von Astrom girl?” James asked as he casually opened the envelope and looked at the gilded invitation.

“Not just them! I will marry 6 other pretty girls too! I plan a traditional dragon ceremony! I will play the hero and the priest will be the dragon who will bless my mass weddings!” Victor said in some perverted excitement.

“Oh…. OHHHH…” James quickly looked at Victor and then at Lily before returning to Victor. “The other brides are?” he asked nervously.

“My maids!” Victor said with a perverted grin.

“Oh….. Is the one behind… What was her name…Lily! Is she one of them?” James couldn't help but ask. If Lily were to be married, he would need to extract her immediately!

“I only marry pretty girls!” Victor rebuked angrily, not really denying it, but James, who sighed in relief, missed that… He was watching Lily who looked with grief to the side.

“It is not good to judge people by their outer appearance! But I understand…” James said as he looked at the invitation, getting surprised that the wedding was on the same day as Yulian’s release!
“I will be there…” he said after some thought. He needed to make sure that Victor does not change his mind! And that if Yulian somehow sneaked into the wedding, he would be able to save his life.

“Perfect!” Victor said with a bright smile just as his phone rang… Lara?

…

Stephany had to confess. She had never imagined, not even in her wildest imagination how rich Lara could be… This was beyond rich.
At first, when her cheap father dropped her at the base of the mountain near a small house, she began to complain, saying that Lara was lying to her. The house, although elegant, was only half the size of her house.
That’s when her father smacked her little head and explained that this was the dog house! She confirmed that when she noticed a burly bald man take a group of very large mastiffs out for a walk moments later.

Her father then pointed to a nearby gate that he didn’t dare to approach. There was a trail behind it going up the mountain. He told her that the entire mountain belonged to Lara’s brother!
He then warned her not to touch or break anything inside and not to make any trouble.

Just then, another car stopped by and a handsome young man stepped down followed by another one, they were her classmates.

“Danial!” Stephany quickly jumped from the car and ran to his side, making her father who was about to drive back sigh… This girl would definitely grow up to be like her mother.

“Stephany… you are here…” Danial said with a stiff smile as he looked around.

“Yeah, I just arrived…” she said in a sluttery manner totally ignoring the other poor guy who she didn't even bother to remember his name.

“So this is Lara’s house…” Danial said, looking at the dog house with disdain.

“Young master… The house is the one on the top of the mountain. That one should be the dog house, there is even a bone-shaped engraving at the door,!” The car driver corrected his young master solemnly.

“Oh… Then why the f*ck did you drop me here?” Danial scolded angrily, feeling ashamed of his mistake.

“We can’t move up the mountain… There is a sign there,” the driver pointed to a freshly painted small sign to the side of the gate.

NO CARS OR PEEPING TOMS ALLOWED.

Danial frowned, wondering how to go up just as from behind the gate a small golf cart stopped. And two girls stepped down and ran outside. It was Lara with Yin who was keeping vigilant.

“Stephany, Danial, Noah! You guys are here at last!” Lara said to them, “Sorry for making you walk, but my brother forbade cars from entering for security reasons... He even bought a lot of Mastiffs last week!... Please come in!” she said as she bowed to Stephny’s father politely, making his eyes tear up, why couldn’t he have such a nice and obedient daughter? Maybe he should find some nice mistress and try to get one with her. His wife was incapable of producing cuteness of such quality!

“LARA!” Danial quickly switched to his ‘cool mode’ as he smiled and ran to Lara’s side. Especially after noticing that the annoying El was not there. “Sorry that we are late…” he said as he scratched the back of his head, showing his flowing hair. He was not sorry at all. Unlike the other brats who came here directly after school with Lara, he said that he had some things to do first, and went home. He wanted to arrive late on purpose to draw Lara’s attention, but he didn’t expect that Stephany, under the instructions of her father, had the same stupid idea!

“It’s ok!” Lara smiled and said, “Let’s go!” she added as she guided her three late guests inside the gate where they rode on the high-tech golf cart that was being operated by a pretty maid.

Danial carefully inspected the maid driving the cart with perverted eyes then gasped and was about to throw up after realizing that this maid was a crossdressing male! What’s wrong with this place?

“What does your brother do for a living, Lara?” Danial asked, he had some info about her father being from a very important family and running a major investment company, but no one said a thing about her brother.

Stephany squeezed her little hand, hearing him. She knew that Danial's father was a rich man, and she had her eyes on him ever since she met him thanks to a school cultural event where she sang a duet with him. Too bad he was now smitten with Lara, not even sparing her a glance anymore!

“He runs a media production company… Horizons Media!” Lara said with a proud smile, totally forgetting that she had 5 other brothers, the ones she knew about.

“Oh… My father did work with some of those so-called ‘media companies’ before… They all want to lick his boots!” He explained.

“Yeah..” Noah, the other guy added, “They respect Danial’s father so badly that they sent their stars to make his bed every morning!!!” he said with a nod. He was proud of being Danial’s friend.

Stephany, who had no idea about such a subject, was impressed. What a bunch of hard-working girls! That’s why she wanted to marry rich, she had no interest in going to work from early morning! She had no idea that she had to work hard late at night to make her dream come true!

Danial, who was listening said nothing, he just chuckled dryly… These ‘stars’ spent their nights in that very same bed. But he would not clarify that to his naive friends.

Yin, who was watching from the side, sighed, those guys from rich families had grown up in walled gardens. They had yet to understand many things!

“Maybe my father knows your brother!” Danial said elegantly after mumbling more about his father’s company to change the subject.

“Yeah, probably… My brother also has a lot of pretty maids making the bed for him every morning!” Lara said as if this was the most natural thing in the entire world, making Yin to her side sigh again… So did Alex who was driving the cart.

“Oh…” Danial nodded with a frown.

“Wait! Horizons Media? Isn't that the one behind the dragon princess movies?” Stephanie asked suddenly.

“Yeah!” Lara nodded, “Miss Mira was here yesterday… Too bad she was very busy finishing her movie shoot before the wedding and had no time to come today!” she sighed, making Stephany frown and wonder if Lara was just bragging or telling the truth… wait ..”What wedding?” Stephany was, despite her age, a gossip lover like her stupid mother.

“My brother is planning to marry Miss Mira next week…” Lara said with a proud smile, happy that Mira will be her sister-in-law!

“WHAT!” Stephany, Noah, and Danial all asked in shock. Who does not know Mira? On of the biggest and most loved stars in recent years.

“It’s true!” Yin said, supporting her young mistress. “It will be in the news the day after tomorrow!” She added, she heard Victor telling that to Aria, saying that the announcement would be incorporated into a hotel advertisement that featured his image with Mira. It would be broadcasted on every major channel 60-68 times a day. Especially in prisons. Victor was very clear about that! Why prisons? She had no idea
