The Young Master in the Shadows

Chapter 263: Deep fried

After entering the plantation, and firmly closing the gate. The boss ordered his men to search around carefully as he began to survey the area with his nose, damn it, those girls chose the right place to hide!

In the past, it was filled with man-eating plants, but at the moment it was just a maze of charred trees and rocks. Too bad the ground here was very muddy and this place had some very disturbing foul burnt odor. That’s why no group chose to use it as their base. Not even skeletons could be found here.

The mud posed a problem for him too as he could only walk using a clutch. It was all because of that b*tch! He will make sure to…..

“Boss, where are you?” A call from one of his men alerted him…. Where were his men? They were beside him just a moment ago!

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!” a scream sounded from somewhere… It sounded like one of his men, but which one was this? Why was his scream so high-pitched? Where was it from? Why can’t he pinpoint the direction?

“Ah…… What is that!” another man screamed. He knew that one, he was his assistant.

Sh*t! This was a trap! He was in some kind of formation!

He quickly took a step back but because he was not yet used to missing a leg he fell down.

That didn’t stop him though, as a professional player he knew quite well that those who usually survived dungeons were the ones who escaped first…. He needed to find the way out! Where was that gate again?

Sh*t an illusionist!

He quickly used his skill, ‘Smell ULTRA Sense’. Despite the disturbing odor of this place, he could easily find the place where the gate was as it was the place with the lightest foul odor. And it was not where he thought it should be! He almost fell for this illusion!

Thankfully he had this skill! It has saved his life many times through the years! He would reward his nose later when he got the girls…

With an evil grin, he slowly tried to stand up, but failed… were was his clutch again? Damn it, he looked around but couldn’t find it!

Having no other choice he began to crawl his way toward the center of the plantation where he thought the gate was. He needed to leave this place fast! Maybe his men would buy him some time.

Around him, he could hear the loud voice of his men screaming in despair. He wanted to avoid them, but strangely enough, he could not pinpoint their location. The voices were coming from every direction!

“Come here you b*tch!”

“NOOOO…. A Monster!”

“Where are you guys?”

“Boss? You are not my boss!”

“No!”

“DADDY!”

“Please not … NO…no….nooooooooo!”

“May the nutcracker have mercy on your balls!”

“Spare us!”

“AOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWwwwwwooooo”

“Where is he?”

“Found you……. NOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooo”

“HAIL THE NUTCRACKER! CALL HIS NAME!”

“TH…Thee…The Nutcracker!.......... NOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooo”

“Not there!”

“Nooooooooooooo”

“Mommy!”

The voices of his men were slowly getting a few pitches higher the more the boss moved forward. He was really scared at the moment, what the hell was attacking them? Was it the gas in this place causing hallucinations?

His men couldn’t fall this easily, they were all veterans who knew how to survive!

Soon the voices faded and the only thing he could hear was the frightened beats of his heart!

That’s when he saw it. A monster like no other. It was standing there, looking at him. A demon with two long horns, dark black hair, and empty eyes that spelled death.

“FOUND YOU!” It said in a monotone voice, then the world turned black around him.

…

“Is this the guy?” Victor asked as he looked at Mina who had just finished butchering some naughty men and was now covered in blood.

“Yes, young master,'' she said as she glared at that unconscious man with hatred. She slowly approached intending to smack his balls off. She had finally remembered what the Nutcracker was! And she wanted to become one!

Victor suddenly held her hand off stopping her.

“Wait! I have some use for him,” he said, “Don’t worry, He will get his due punishment, but not from you. Only I can finish him off! You are mine after all!” he told Mina, making her nod and blush.

Victor slowly knelt beside the man, popped a power-disabling pill in his mouth then searched his body for treasures.

That man only had one storage pouch. From inside it, he took out two rings that belonged to Mina and Mana.

Storage rings were very rare after all, and this man probably kept them for himself and hid them from his team. He was probably waiting to kill the twins so that the rings would become ownerless.

“Come here,” he told Mina then slowly held her left hand then slid her ring into her finger making her gasp and then smile with a blush. The girls always wore the rings on their right hands, but Mina, who had only one hand right now, had no other choice… That’s what she would tell Lily later anyway.

Until now, because of the girls being extra aware of their status in the family, there were only three who dared to wear their rings in their left hands!

The first was of course Lily who clearly made her point of being Victor’s property no matter what, she wore the ring on her left hand ever since the young master gave it to her. The second was Margret who didn’t have any shame and lastly Alex who was obviously a guy.

Mana, who was a little jealous, silently watched her sister get her ring then shyly lifted her left hand toward Victor while pouting. Victor gladly put the ring on her slender finger, turning her pout into a smile… If the girls asked later, she would just say that she wanted to be like her sister….

“You two will always be mine now…” he said as he spanked their little butts, making them both look at the ground to hide their blushing faces.

“Let’s get this trash back to the base! I need to cut him up while he is still fresh!” he said as he tied the man preparing to drag him.

“What is this place, young master?” Mana asked as she began to help him.

“I didn’t really have a chance to fully explore it, but it should have been some kind of plantation… too bad those idiots burnt it up, It could have some nice specimens….” Victor lamented, not telling the girls that he made sure to collect some seeds that he would try to revive later. He liked the idea of having a living plant maze around his base. Hopefully, the world would not reject those seeds.

Victor pondered as slowly walked toward the door, where Lily was waiting. She quickly noticed the rings on the girls’ fingers but said nothing. They earned them after all, unlike that slut Margret.

…

Rebecca was cursing her bad luck when Victor entered the clearing while dragging behind him a large man covered in mud.

Behind Victor, followed his veiled maid and the twins whose bright smiles contrasted well with the blood of their enemies that covered their clothes.

Rebecca didn’t dare to say anything as she watched Victor tie that man to a tree beside her with a strange chain.

“You are awake?” Victor said as he looked at her after finishing securing the big man.

“Ah…. Can you let me go?” she asked, still acting as Margret, “I was joking….”

“Dear Rebecca… Do you think I am a fool?” he asked, making her gasp as she realized that he knew she was not Margret.

“What? Rebecca? Isn’t she Margret?” Lily asked in shock, earning herself a glare from the twins who have long realized the truth. It was as if they were saying, “Do you really hate Margret that much?”

Lily hiccuped and looked away in embarrassment. She didn’t really hate Margret, but that slut made her feel threatened. So she was glad earlier when she thought Victor was punishing her.

Victor chuckled and watched as Rebecca dispelled her mimic skill returning to her old looks. That skill was really good, as it physically changed the looks, so even if the owner was unconscious it didn’t break!

“What do you want from me?” Rebecca asked coldly. She was trying to act strong, but her wet pants showed how scared she really was.

“You will know later… “ he said as he looked at the two sect girls who were left to take care of this place, “Lina! Mila! Did anything happen here while I was away?” he asked.

“No… Young master….” the girls shook their pretty heads. Other than touching themselves while thinking about him, nothing really happened.

“Good, go help the girls wash out the blood off their bodies… I will ask this guy some questions…” he said then paused and waved his hand making a thick smoke surround him, Rebecca, and the tied-up boss who was feigning being unconscious.

“I just want to have a private talk with him…” he explained after noticing the girl's questioning looks. After that, he turned around and entered the fog.

The girls didn’t know what happened next. They headed to a nearby water canal, where they took a quick bath, washed the blood splashes off their bodies then changed into fresh clothes.

Lina and Mila acted as guards. As archers, they had good scouting ability.

The girls finished their bath and returned to where Victor was just as the fog he created had disappeared. Victor, who was stretching his arms and neck, sat to rest near his oily portable cooking utensils that were still hot.

As for that boss, he was no longer a man, he wasn't even a human anymore. He had long became just a piece of charred smoking meat! A lump of smoking meat with a hole where his crotch should have been!

“What did you do to him, young master?” Lily asked curiously… The blood and oil splattered everywhere told a very interesting story… Even as an expert assassin, she was having difficulty figuring out the torture methods he used.

“Nothing…. I just wanted him to vibrate a little… But he couldn’t do it even after I drowned him in boiling oil!” Victor sighed as if this was that man’s fault.

“Maybe you should have untied him first, young master, so that he could vibrate freely…” Mina said. She was completely content with Victor’s revenge for her. This proved how much he liked her!

“Oh… good point! Why didn’t I think of that?” Victor said making the girls giggle.

“It doesn’t matter, I have a better toy! I didn’t expect that dear Rebecca here knew how to vibrate so well!” he said, making Lily finally look at poor Rebecca who had witnessed the entire ‘Private talk’ Victor had with that man.

She was still shaking wildly to this moment after wetting her pants three times causing the campfire below her to be extinguished!

“It will be your turn next …” Victor turned to Rebecca and told her as he slowly stood up then walked in her direction.

“Noooooooo…. Please….. Spare me….” she began to kick around and shake wildly, making Victor really consider sparing her. This girl can vibrate well!

“Who was the one who offered a bounty on my head?” Victor asked as he slowly lowered her rope.

“I don’t know, Your name was on the bounty list of the assassin's organization, PinkBlood! It appeared three days before we entered the dungeon!” she answered quickly and truthfully… She had seen how Victor interrogated that man who lost a layer of skin every time he told a lie. Victor had peeled him like a potato, cut him into small pieces then deep-fried him after that! All of this while stuffing him with the best quality healing pills to make sure he would not die!

After a quick interrogation, Victor kept asking that poor man one question… “How Dare you touch my toys?”

The man tried every possible answer while screaming in pain, but in the end, he died without giving Victor a satisfactory answer.

This Young master was a crazy maniac! She should have never crossed paths with him! The organization's information only described him as a pervert. No one said anything about him being a psychopath!

“PinkBlood….” Victor pondered, he never heard of it. According to Kai’s information, there was a couple of assassins organization after him, but after the assassination attempt on the highway back then, the family should have already sent warnings to everyone. Only idiots would dare to attack him nowadays after his status as an elite heir was revealed.

“Oh… Are you a member of this organization, or are you a freelancer?” Victor asked.

“A member, I am a bronze-ranked assassin!” she replied quickly.

Rebecca belonged to a fallen noble family, only she in her family managed to awaken in three generations. Although her family was relatively poor, they had firm ties with this assassin's organization, so she joined them to take advantage of her skills.

“Who made the order on my head?” Victor asked.

“I don’t know…. But the rumors were that the giver was someone the boss didn’t dare to offend,” she answered, making Victor squint his eyes. Is someone more fearsome than his family? He needed to investigate this.

“I see…“ Victor said as he carefully inspected the ‘vibrating’ Rebecca, “Do you want a chance to live?” he asked suddenly, preparing to scam a new girl.

Although she threatened his life before, she didn’t really cause any harm, and he really appreciated his talents.
