Chapter 380: Chapter 379: Blackstone Island

Yulian sat on the edge of a main street looking aimlessly at the rich passers-by who totally ignored him and the empty cardboard box he set in front of him to collect donations. “How the hell did that happen?” He wondered as he looked up at the tall buildings that surrounded him.

It was a week ago when he was using the money he got from Alice to rent an apartment, the building owner sent his daughter to show Yulian around, but as soon as they reached the apartment, a group of policemen appeared out of thin air, pushed him to the ground and accused him of selling drugs to minors.

Apparently, there was some kind of a mix-up, with the previous apartment occupant. Things were quickly cleared up when the scared young girl told the cops that Yulian had just arrived here to see the newly emptied apartment, but by that time it was too late, the cops had already found the money Yulian was stashing in his trousers!

That was when Yulian heard the term Civil Forfeiture for the first time. The cops who hurried to stuff the money in bags told him that it was drug money and it had to be taken to the station…

The cops didn’t even care for his pleas as they took every last penny he had. Seemingly, there had been a nasty female officer in their unit before, and she had been stopping them from flexing their muscles for the last few months, now that she had been transferred away after wrongfully accusing some bigshot of raping her, they began to return to their old methods again!

After going with the cops to the station to clarify things or demand an explanation, he was shocked to realize that what they did was completely lawful and to get his money back, he had to spend nearly the same amount in legal fees!

So, without understanding what happened, he was left on the streets again without a penny.

James Trove had told him that he might be unlucky for the next few days due to the curse the bastard, Caspian, placed on him, but Yulian couldn’t believe it would be this severe.

He could only sit at the side of the street and beg for now, “The test will soon be over,” he reminded himself. After that, he would show those smelly cops, and then go grab Alice to reveal his identity to her! He couldn’t wait to see her reaction… he he he!

“Ah… If it is not Yulian!” someone suddenly said, making him look up. It was none other than Lulu who was dressed in a very short skirt that boldly declared to the world what the girl did for a living.

“Are you still alive?” Yulian asked. He was genuinely surprised. The last time he saw this bitch she was getting dragged kicking by the guards at the wedding. He was sure they were going to kill her and then burn the body, but it seemed like the Von Weise family's ways were not as thorough as his own family’s.

“Shut up! Don’t remind me!” Lulu, who seemed a little bit thinner, cursed. “Why are you here anyway? Did that rich bitch you clung up onto dump you ?” she asked with disgust, changing the subject as if she didn’t want to remember what she had been through.
“This does not concern you… now, if you don’t mind, stop blocking the honest business I am trying to run here and move back to whatever hole you crawled out from!” Yulian said coldly. After spending that night with Alice, he realized how blind he had been even considering dating Lulu before.

“You call begging a business?” Luu, who didn’t seem to want to leave said.

“It is an honest job at least… Not like a certain someone, who only knows how to sell her body!” Yulian said, checking her skirt. From where he was sitting, he had a nice viewing angle.

“You are the one who was selling your body, bastard!” Lulu, who got angry, scolded as she pointed at Yulian. “WHERE IS THE POLICE! THIS MAN IS TRYING TO ASSAULT ME IN BROAD DAYLIGHT!” she began to scream out of nowhere.

“BITCH!” Yulian cursed as he quickly grabbed the trusty cardboard and began to run. From experience, he knew no one would believe him.

BAM!

Yulian, who was not looking straight ahead, bumped into someone and was sent into the ground rolling.

“Ah.. .Sorry…” he automatically apologized as he sat up and looked with shock at the pretty girl who didn't even budge. She was dressed differently and had a mask on her face, bet he could easily recognize her. It was none other than his little sister. Lily!

She glanced at him and then at Lulu who was still screaming and attracting many pedestrians to come look.

Lily sighed.

She looked at Yulian, then sighed again before turning to Lulu who was yelling.

Slowly, from behind her back she took out a retractable baton which she unfolded with one flick from her wrest. It was as if she had done this thousands of times before.

She hit Lulu’s face without hesitation.

“AHHHHHHHHH….” Lulu screamed, but a moment later she felt a kick hit her abdomen, sending her flying and crashing into the glass-front of a nearby store.

BANG!

“What….” Yulian wanted to ask.

“Don’t worry… That slut is still alive,” Lily said, to tell the truth, she really did consider killing that bitch for a moment there, but in the end, she let her go with only a few broken bones as a favor for Margret.

“POLICE! HELP! SOMEONE! AHHHHHHHHH….. ” Lulu, who seemed to have regained her consciousness, began to scream again. “SOMEONE CALL AN AMBULANCE! I AM TOO YOUNG TO DIE!”

Lily sighed, put the baton away, and then grabbed the shocked Yulian from his collar and shoved him into her large black car. Giving Lulu one last look as if she was considering finishing her for good, she climbed into the driver seat and drove away under the surprised eyes of those who came to watch the fun.

There was a police officer nearby, who planned to interfere, but noticing the white shield sticker on the car’s back window, he quickly moved away and acted as if he saw nothing.

His motto in life was to bully the weak and fear the strong.

…

“Thanks…” Yulian said after making sure that his cardboard box was still intact. “Did you remember me from the wedding?” he asked. That was the only time he officially met Lily, so he presumed she thought he was Alice’s boyfriend.

“I already know who you are dearest brother…” Lily said coldly as she drove the car heading toward the nearest exit.

“WHAT…” Yulian asked in shock. “HOW….”

“Sleep for now… “ Lily said, “We will have a lengthy talk later! We still have a long trip ahead of us!” Lily said as Yulian began to feel very sleepy, and collapsed moments later.

Looking at him, Lily sighed.

She knew many things that Victor didn’t. And like him, she couldn’t really let her family suffer like what happened in the other timeline.

There were many things that needed fixing, some of them would be taken care of by Victor, while others were things she had to do by herself, like fixing Yulian’s future destined class.

“Wait….” She looked through the rear mirror and frowned… Someone was tailing her. It was those Von Crone agents.

Damn them! She would definitely kick their sorry asses when she returned to her family!

Maybe she would even try that sword she was going to get on them. She already had a name for it. “Nut Slicer”!

…

Victor shivered a little and opened his eyes then looked around. He must have fallen asleep.

Looking out of the window, he could see that plane had descended into the military-grade Airport on the Western Island in the Von Weise family archipelago.

It was already sunset, but Victor knew that their day was far from over when he spotted the ready-to-take-off helicopter nearby. They seemed to be in a hurry.

“Let’s go…” Theodore said. “We are already late…” he added, confirming Victor’s guess.

“Seriously Father, can’t you tell us what this is about?” Mike, who walked out of the other cabinet, asked as he buttoned up his silk shirt to hide the multiple hickies that were now adorning his muscular chest. Those flight attendants were wild!

“I told you it is about the tournament… You will know when you get there!” Theodore said. He clearly had no idea like his sons.

Descending from the plane, the family of three hurried to the helicopter as Victor expected. No, not exactly, they were not flown toward the main island as he presumed they would, but toward the south…

“Why are we heading toward the mines?” Theodore asked the captain.

“Ah…Sorry elder, I don’t really know,” the pilot replied politely. “I had been tasked with flying you to the Blackstone Island as soon as you arrived, we have been transporting the elite heirs toward there since morning!. He added explaining the situation.

“Are we the last ones expected to arrive?” Theodore asked.

“No… Elder Young is not here yet… his plane should arrive in half an hour, and I will be back to get him after delivering you!” the pilot said.

“Good…” Theodore nodded. Although he liked to be late, He didn’t want to be the last to arrive.

The rest of the trip was mostly silent, and it was already dark when they soon arrived at a long large island that was barely visible under the moonless night sky.

Blackstone Island was one of the main reasons the family settled on this archipelago.
Under this island, extends a large web of natural caves and tunnels that compose one of the largest known Ruins in the world. The Black Stone Ruin. The treasure trove of the Von Weise family!

Some say it was a remnant of an ancient S-ranked dungeon, while others say that it was a naturally forming Ruin or a part of another world, no one really knew, but in those tunnels many rare minerals, gems, and herbs are discovered every year, and they are considered the backbone of the family!
There were rumors about a few artifacts and skill books that were found down there too, but Victor was not privy to that information back then.
The only thing he was sure of was that the old family awakening treasure was discovered here!

In the other timeline, this place was completely excavated
by that young Light lord bastard after he burnt the Von Weise family down. Victor didn’t really know what he found here. Still, he had always suspected that the attack was not just an act of revenge… That guy came here prepared to dig the family up, so maybe there was more to it.

Thinking about something, Victor quickly sent Kai and Hilda some instructions before putting his phone away. Ruins were like dungeons, phones and high-tech gadgets rarely worked inside.

He needed to be ready for contingencies.
