Chapter 387: Chapter 386: Spy?

“Master!” The spy fell on her knees as soon as she entered James Trove III’s office.

“What?” the principal asked, looking up from the thick report on his desk.

“It is Young master Yulian!” she said in e nervous voice.

“What did he do now?” James interrupted. It was rare to see his assistant this flustered.

“He was kidnapped by young lady Lily… She took him off the streets yesterday, they headed to the airport where she fooled our agent by switching planes,” the spy said.

“What?” It took James a moment to comprehend what she told him. “Why would Lily interact with Yulian?” James asked in shock.

“I don’t know. We didn’t get any info or signals regarding that, it came out of the blue!”

“Where did they head to?” he asked. Planes can be easily tracked, even those with camouflage devices.

“The plane landed in a mountainous village in The Great North Ursa Republic!”

“Where is that?” James frowned.

“A small insignificant landlocked country, it is so remote that by the time our agents were able to head there, Lily and Yulian were gone… That place is a very backward rural region, it has no high-tech surveillance devices, so tracking them is almost impossible! We only have two sightings, one from an old woman who traveled with them in a truck and the other from a poor thief who happened to run into them as they were heading to the mountains,” she said. “The poor guy is no longer a full man…”

“And why didn’t you send an emergency search team?” James said. After Lily’s disappearance, the family prepared a protocol just to locate heirs who went off the radar.

“I did, but we lost them… That place is like a maze and Lady Lily is crazy good at hiding her tracks!” the spy confessed. “Once we were following her at first, she seemed to have felt us and is now using every technique in the book to disappear!”

“Shit… Why is this happening now?” James cursed. Lily should not know that Yulian is her brother, so the only logical explanation was that Victor, who didn’t like his sister sleeping with a bum, ordered Lily to take Yulian to some faraway place to slowly torture him and then finish him off. Shit, if these siblings were to kill each other his head would be in danger! “Activate Yullian’s tracker… I will take responsibility…” he said quickly. This device was meant as a last resort as it would technically, directly interfere in Yulian’s destiny.

“This won’t work…” the spy confessed. “We found Yulian’s tooth, the one where we implanted the tracking device, inside the plane. It was as if someone punched it out of his mouth!”

“WHAT? Damn… Call a soul tracker…. I will pay from my own pocket….” James said desperately.

“We already did… He couldn’t find them,” the spy said. She was the type who only reported after she exhausted all the options.

“Shit… Why are you telling me this now then? Do you want me to die of a heart attack?” James, who was losing his mind, cursed again as his face turned white.

“...” she didn't answer.

“Where is that Victor?” he asked.

“He left for the Von Weise Archipelago with his father… they are preparing for some birthday or something, Those in the intelligence department are not sure about the details,” the spy explained. “Alice is there too…”

“SHIT… SHIT… SHIT…”James cursed as he began feeling his neck. This was definitely a ploy by Victor who took the opportunity while his sister was away to kill his brother-in-law!

His only hope now was to pray that Yulian would be able to escape or convince Lily that he was her brother before it was too late!

He read Lily’s file… The girl was a castration maniac!

…

“What was that all about?” Zoe finally asked after they left the village.

“Those bastards!” Victor cursed. “Treating a normal maid as a petting maid! How dare they!” Victor flared.

“I noticed when you sent those letters to your father and brothers you know… “ Zoe added coldly. He sneakily sent her to the restroom so she wouldn’t be able to see what he wrote.

“Oh… It was all the fault of those damn phones not working here… I had to do it with an old pen and paper… I have not been trying to cheat on you or anything,” he confessed.

“WHO SAID ANYTHING ABOUT CHEATING!” Zoe yelled. She was about to lose her mind, why was Victor acting like an idiot? Did they stimulate him so much inside that he decided to retreat to his old trusty pervert cocoon?

“No one said that,” Victor said, “Butt it is really better for you if you didn’t get involved in all this family drama!” He sighed, finally confessing. Zoe with his Scion aura would make things a little unpredictable, and he didn’t like that.

“Do you think I will spoil your stupid plans?” Zoe asked as if she had read his mind. Ever since the moon dungeon, she asked her newly appointed butler to find her the family report concerning Victor. It was a biography of a depraved pervert.
From almost getting ‘killed’ as soon as he reached Vein city, discovering the dungeon, meeting Alex, the incident in the brothel, and the wedding.
On the surface, he was just a depraved rich young man who had just been let out of a cage, but after some contemplating she began to remove the ‘because he is a pervert’ from everything in the report, cross-referencing the news articles about what was happening and combining that with the knowledge she gained from talking to him in the moon dungeons and getting to know the girls in Victor’s mansion she figured out a shocking truth.

Victor was building a network of powers… A large network that spanned many powers and businesses.
She couldn’t find definite proof of her guess, but from the way Victor was acting all the time she was sure of it!

“Ah… No…” he lied. “Well… It is just that you would never want to know what I know… It is very messy…” he sighed, telling the truth this time. “How about you watch a show and decide after it?” he asked.

“What do you mean?” Zoe asked.

Victor didn’t answer but stopped walking and turned around. “You can come out now…” he said coldly, making someone shake a little then walk out from behind one of the mine's large support pillars.

“It is you!” Zoe exclaimed.

“It is the petting maid!” Victor said at the same time. Causing the pretty maid who walked out to almost stumble and fall. She quickly got her wits back together as she approached Victor and Zoe.
