The Young Master in the Shadows

The real estate agency was the biggest in town. It was made for the service of the richest VIPs as was evident from the grand entrance protected by muscular guards that would scare away anyone coming here to make trouble.

On one clear day, a black extra luxurious car parked in front of this grand entrance. And from within an arrogant young master wearing, cool sunglasses stepped down after his somewhat pretty driver opened the car’s door for him.

“Is this really the biggest agency in town? It seems… Somewhat lacking…” The young master asked as he looked at the building in disdain. Making the guards wonder if this one was a genuine customer or just here to make trouble… Isn’t he a bit young to buy a villa from this place? Did his filthy rich parents send him to do their chores as commoner parents send their children to do unreasonable tasks?

“Yes, young… master. We can’t expect much from such a poor town… Although the owner of this place must be extremely cheap… I made sure to check it twice… The Villa you told me about is being auctioned by this place…” The driver explained in a rehearsed script earning herself a glare from the guards.

“Whatever…. I hope we get it quickly… This young master has better things to do.” The young master said as he quickly headed to the entrance, totally ignoring the guards, who chose not to interfere. They are only here to show off their muscles. The cheap owner wasn’t paying them enough to risk upsetting a real young master by mistake.

Just as the young master stepped into the hall, he was greeted by a tall woman who wore a tall professional dress and adorned her thin white face with pointy glasses that fit snugly on her hooked nose. An archetypal mean real estate agent.

“Young master… Welcome!... I am the manager here…. How can I help you?” The woman who recognized the car the moment it turned the corner near the agency and could smell the expensive custom-made perfume on the handsome young master quickly bowed and asked.

“Well… This young master is looking to buy that Villa… The one on top of the waterfall…” The young master said,

“Ahh… The Golden Villa Designed by Frank Lewd Right?” The manager asked.

“Yes… That's the one.” The young master said as he smiled, causing the manager to be a little charmed… She quickly shook her head… He is younger than her children!

“Young master… This Villa is set to be auctioned next week. We can’t sell it directly.” The manager patiently explained.

“Set your price.” He said casually as his white-gloved driver took out a checkbook and handed it to him.

“Young master… I can’t… You have to understand…” The manager was a little troubled.

“I am not here to Understand…. Fine… Take me to the Villa then, I want to have a look.” He demanded.

“Ah… That is possible, but I need to ask my boss…” She said just as the door of the boss’s office opened and a stunning guy with purple hair walked out with the fat boss.

“Young master Victor, congratulations on your purchase, The Golden Villa itself would be happy if it could feel. It would be smiling if it had a face. Your purchase of it is the sole reason for its existence.” The boss boot liked Victor openly like a dog.

“Yah… I expect the documents to be sent to me this afternoon, as I have to leave town tonight.” Victor said as he almost bumped into the young master standing stubbornly in front of him… Opened his eyes wide at the sight of this young master…. Damn, why does he have to bump into this bastard here?

It was none other than the one and only SEBASTIAN SILVER who was acting as a young master. Sure he was putting on sunglasses, and his face appeared slightly different under disguise… but Victor easily recognized him.

“I thought the Villa was not for sale?” Sebastian asked loudly, as he glared at the embarrassed manager then at the boss, before finally stopping at Victor who was checking him in surprise before looking at his driver intensely…

The Boss waited for Victor’s answer, But he quickly noticed that he was busy vulgarly inspecting the somewhat pretty driver to respond to Sebastian, he also took out his phone to send a few fake messages… The boss knew this trick, Victor was secretly filming her! She was not his type but he quickly decided to help.

“The Villa was not on sale… But young master Victor owns this place now…. He bought the entire company.” The boss said, trying hard to please his new Master…

At first, he also refused to sell the Villa to Victor, but at that next moment after a brief phone call that Victor made, the previous owner of this place called him informing him that the new owner was sitting in front of him… This young master had just bought not only them but even their parent company, the real estate developer behind the Villa.

That’s how you do real estate!

“I see… But I don’t care! I want that Villa, Sell it to me” Sebastian turned to Victor and demanded arrogantly.

“No… That’s impossible, I don't want my future love nest to be contaminated by your midget virus… What if my children grew up like you… NO WAY!” Victor insulted Sebastian, making Hana, who stood behind Sebastian as his driver, glare at him with a frown... How dare he!

“You bastard! Do you want me to break you fucking…...” Sebastian began to threaten angrily. The manager who welcomed him began to retreat professionally... She was going to call the useless guards.

“Young master… Your father wants you to return to the house immediately.” The driver suddenly interrupted Sebastian's outburst after noticing the purple token hung on Victor’s neck.

“But e… Hana... About the villa…”

“Don’t worry… Certain things can only be gotten by those who are destined… We can only give up for now.” She explained with a sentence that had a double meaning.

“Ah… Well… I will forgive you all this time… If only my father didn’t want me to go back.” Sebastian said reluctantly. Throwing a very dirty gesture at Victor before turning to leave.

“WAIT,” Victor shouted suddenly, stopping Sebastian.

“Your driver is pretty hot… Do you mind lending her to me?” Victor asked. Earning Himself another glare from Hana. who should look quite normal now under disguise...

“No.” Sebastian flatly refused and then turned to leave again.

“WAIT!....” Victor shouted again.

“What now?” Sebastian asked angrily.

“You look familiar… Did I see you somewhere before?” Victor asked, making Sebastian flinch and then quickly leave the agency. “I look like a lot of people….” His sound trailed off as Hana followed behind him.

Although Sebastian appeared in the Mantis battle videos, the recording was done from far away, and his face was blurry. Yet sharp-eyed people might recognize him, so his master had told him to keep wearing sunglasses while outside.

Sebastian quickly entered the car’s back seat and looked at Hana who started the car.

“Elder sister, why did you give up this easily?” He asked.

“He was telling that boss that he was leaving town tonight, we can just go there tomorrow.” She said taking off her driver's hat and letting his silky hair drop on her back.

“But we need to dig to get to your family's vault… Those idiots built that thing right over it! That's why we needed to buy the Villa!"

"We can just say that we are a renovation team sent by that Victor. You must not be impulsive and think things thoroughly." She scolded softly.

"Ah… or we can just threaten him to give us the Villa" Sebastian said.

“No, he is a Von Weise… And from the taken he was wearing an elite member… we better do this tomorrow after he leaves. We just need to empty the vault... And adjust your disguise, if they found your identity we might get in trouble." She added as she drove off while hoping that she could find a cure for her curse here… maybe she would be able to touch him at last…. She looked at the grumpy Sebastian in the mirror. Even under her disguise formula, He looked so cute!

...

Five minutes after Sebastian left, a guy wearing a dress walked out of the men’s restroom frightening the boss who was wondering why Victor was waiting.

“Did they go?” Alex asked.

“Yah… Thankfully you were busy in the toilet.” Victor scolded.

“Young master I…. Should we return to vein city?” She asked as Victor inspected her.

“Nah… Your current disguise is passable, just wear a wig and sunglasses… Now quickly drive me to the Villa.” Victor said as he gestured to the Boss who bowed and handed him the key.

“Didn’t you want to go shopping for gifts?” Alex asked as she followed Victor who hurried outside, to the car parked at the side of the road.

“Later… My guts are telling me the Villa has a secret, and I need to get there now!” He said as he got in.

At that moment, Victor’s phone rang… It was Kai.

“Young master… We found who was the one who tried to attack you today… It was Malcom Brown, The son of Alvin Brown… Lucas's brother.” He said.

“Why does he want to kill me?” Victor asked.

“Young master… Lady Iris had Already cut Lucas and His father Alvin into fish food… This one was locked somewhere by his father after offending you… He got out, and seems to want revenge… You kicked his balls out of existence a while ago.” Kai explained.

“Really? I don’t remember…. Victor said, he kicked a lot of balls out of existence, and can’t remember each one.

“At a phone store in Vein city… You even killed the manager. after this guy insulted you…” Kai explained.

“You mean that bastard was not a normal clerk? No wonder he was so cocky… I should have killed him!.” Victor exclaimed as Alex started the car. “How did he find me?” Victor asked.

“We don’t know, young master… He had already died after you blew him up… So we can’t ask him….” Kai said as Victor hung up, cutting him off.

Victor squinted as he looked at the road outside, Who was the one who wanted to kill him? It must be someone with access to his family database, which included all the other powers… Damn it… Sooner or later he will find out and cut that guy to pieces.
