The Young Master in the Shadows

After reading the system alert, Victor began to actively send energy from his other soul half to the main one… Although the process was not efficient due to the distance.

It only took 20 Minutes for Victor to wake up and find himself in the VIP room in the Auction house. Margret and Theta were looking at him worriedly, while Hana was absent-minded.

“Ahhh… You are awake.” Margret sighed in relief when she saw him sitting down, “Are you ok? What happened?” She asked.

“Just a miscalculation… Some naughty girl poisoned me… I will forgive her this time.” He said cryptically, making Margret frown as Hana shivered in the back.

He quickly gave Margret an inspecting look… It was different, the old one only gave him a summary, and if a certain fate is dominant. Now, the Fate inspection screen has changed.

Fate:

; Fate Power: D

SUMMARY (POSITIVE)

NO DEFINED FATE

DESTINY LIST < 10 ORDER POINTS TO UNVEIL> ;

Victor cursed, nothing free in this life…

“Is there anything wrong, young master?” She asked,

“No…Let me think about something.” He said He was really curious about her <Death> Fate that he changed… When did he do that?

Unfortunately, He will have to leave Margret’s inspection for later, as Alpha was in some serious trouble.

He began to restart his connection to Alpha, checking on her… She was being chased while heavily injured and poisoned… “When did Troy get enough power to harm her?” Victor wondered.

“NO…” He quickly realized that her bloodline and powers were locked… It must have been Evan and Sebastian.

The first thing Victor did was to hide Alpha’s bloodline, then he was intending to unlock it but he stopped… He was planning to just let her deal with Evan and whoever was chasing her by herself, but that is no longer an option.

“Damn it.” He cursed loudly as he stood up. Fate is really scary… He had to go there himself.

“Stay here and pretend that I am still sleeping. I will return in a while.” He said as he grabbed the surprised Theta’s hand and then dragged her through the wall.

Margret cursed silently and quickly began to arrange the bed. Then she took off her clothes and hugged a pillow… Just in case someone was peeping.

…

“Ahhh” Theta squealed as she experienced shadow teleportation for the first time then found herself in midair.

“Don’t make trouble,” Victor said as flung her in the air and then grabbed her in his arm, carrying her like a princess as he flew in the air. She had a small body stature anyway and was like a big kitten in his arms.

Theta blushed heavily as she felt his heart beat through her body. He was hugging her hard.

“Where are we going, young master?” She asked in a mosquito-like voice… Will it happen today at last? Did Victor finally awaken his inner Lolicon?

“Alpha is in trouble. We will go save her.” He said, making Theta quickly forget her earlier perverted thoughts.

“What happened to her?” Theta quickly asked as Victor flew in a certain direction.

“She is being chased. I might need to do some hunting so you will stay with her.” Victor said,

“I understand.” Theta nodded as she looked at the mountain where Victor was headed.

They landed at Alpha's location pretty fast, she was leaning against a tree with some badly injured girl.

Theta frowned at Victor who was still holding her frozen in place as he looked at the girls, especially the injured one….Nightshade. Fortunately, he was quickly awoken from his shock by a certain spear almost castrating him.

Victor quickly put Theta down and revealed his disguise while curing… He also shrouded the entire area with his power. He didn’t want Sebastian who was getting closer to intervene.

…

Alpha was shocked as Victor appeared out of thin air followed by Theta who ran to her side with a strange pill.

“Take this…” She said pushing the pill in Alpha’s mouth. This was a normal medicine to slow blood circulation… It will delay the poison’s effect.

“Theta… Stand to the side.” Victor suddenly said as he frowned. He was looking at Alpha’s chest.

Alpha cursed silently, can’t this pervert read the situation. She wanted to say something, but to her shock, Victor suddenly grabbed her shirt and tore it away, exposing her white skin.

Nightshade, who was fascinated by Victor’s handsomeness until now, shrunk a little as she realized what he was doing… She recognized him. He was the pervert from the Auction.

“Waaah……Damn it.” Alpha cursed, but couldn't resist… She was about to die and this pervert was taking advantage of her instead of healing her. What was wrong with him?

Theta opened her mouth wide in shock as Victor in a very perverted way began to feel around Alpha’s chest…

“The injury is in my stomach…” She said… He ignored her.

“Sebastian is nearby.” She spat again. Reminding him of the problem.

“I know… I already sent the intruders away… We have all the time in the world.” He said,

True She could hear Sebastian's voice getting further away… Victor was doing his magic again.

Victor interrupted her thoughts by putting his hand on her breast… She shrunk a little and involuntarily blushed… Nightshade was losing her mind. She was looking at Victor with very disgusting eyes.

“This is not the time for this.” Alpha protested softly, Victor was using the blood slave skill to stop her from moving.

She looked at Theta for help, but that traitor girl blushed and looked away… Wasn’t she supposed to be her little sister? Shouldn’t she be helping her? Was she completely corrupted by Victor?

“It’s not there…” Victor spoke, almost talking to himself as he continued to grope around, Alpha was about to lose it when she quickly noticed something. His eyes! They were the same as what he did back then in the dungeon… They had yin-yang symbols.

He was reading something!

She stopped resisting. As she decided to trust him this once.

She was right, Victor was now using his fate vision to see the threads connecting her to Sebastian who was close by.

A normal human has the fate threads spread and moving all around his body… Sebastian’s fate line was stable. It was piercing right into her heart…

Victor frowned. He didn’t show it, but Alpha’s situation was very bad, she could die at any moment.

“This might hurt,” Victor said in a low voice as he took a deep breath and suddenly pushed his hand inside her chest and out again… It took but a second as his hand passed through her skin and almost touched her heart… He was using the shadow ring.

Alpha gasped as he took his hand out and slowly opened it, it was no longer empty. But had a glass bead with a small green leaf-shaped flame inside of it… Was this inside of her?

“What is this?” She asked, gasping for breath. As the girls also looked at it.

“I have absolutely no Idea. But this is the Item that Sebastian was destined to get from you… It was planted in your heart.” Victor said with a deep frown as he appraised the bead, but nothing appeared. The system completely ignored it as if it didn’t exist… He could feel some strange energy from it though… Life energy.

He decided to look into this later, so he put the bead in his ring. He failed. The ring rejected it…

Victor frowned, he didn’t have time for this… Alpha’s situation was getting worse.

“Why don’t you unlock my power already?” She asked… She didn’t expect that the bead was on her… She quickly changed the subject.

“The poison is integrating with your blood… It is a blood-based poison... ” He said, making her gasp as she realized something. “You have really shitty luck.“ He added as he sat next to her and looked at the spike in her abdomen… This thing can’t be removed easily.

Alpha gasped… At that moment she realized something. She quickly focused on her body but she failed…

Damn it. All this time she has been trying to dissolve the poison by using blood skills to purify her blood. That’s what her class allowed her to do.

But this was a mistake, as the poison was made of blood. So what she was doing was assimilating it into her entire being… No wonder the poison spread so fast.

And If Victor listened to her and unlocked her bloodline, the assimilation would get so rapid, that she would die in seconds.

“Can you heal me?” She asked as she swallowed, her situation was disastrous.

For the first time since she met him, she looked to Victor for help. He was a pervert, but he knew many things.

Her intuition was correct, she was fated to die, and the only one who could save her was Victor who can totally ignore fate.

“Not easily…” He sighed, weighing his options. “The best solution is to freeze you, for now, that will hurt your vitality, But it will give us time… It might take years for me to get an artifact that can fix you…” He said with a frown, thinking of some possibilities... This was why he hurried here.

She frowned too. Is there really no other solution?

“Wait… Use the bead.” She said as Victor began to prepare some materials, making him stop.

“The bead?” He asked, “You know what this is?” He asked.

“No… But it has a lot of vitality… My family found it in a dungeon, they were using it as an energy source for a healing artifact… but the artifact broke because of its berserk energy… Ough.” She coughed some blood. “After the family's collapse, they hid it with one of the heirs, but no one knew who.” She added… She had no idea. It turned out to be inside of her.

“How do you use it?” He asked, making the severely injured Nightshade almost spit on him. What she saw was him taking out a condom… He didn’t want her to see the bead so he was showing her some perverted actions.

“Shouldn’t you be the smart one?” She asked… She really had no idea.

Victor frowned… This thing was probably the reason Alpha survived Titus’s assault back then… It managed to keep her alive… But Victor had no idea if returning it inside Alpha would work as it didn’t do anything earlier… And Sebastian was still after it.

After some thinking, he took the book of knowledge from his ring. The girls watched as he put the bead next to it and wrote in a runic language.

Nightshade was wondering if this was a condom manual. She couldn’t see well from her location.

“What is this?” Victor wrote.

; COST 1 ORDER POINT / COOLDOWN TIME 120 MINUTES

YES / NO ;

He was about to press yes… Only one? Oh... Oops. He quickly changed his question.

“What is the green thing inside the glass bead”… He fixed his question… He didn’t want to make the mistake he did before. He had no time, so he had to be precise.

; COST 100 ORDER POINT / COOLDOWN TIME 365 DAYS

YES / NO ;

“And how to use it,” He added.

; COST 100000000000000000+ E99 ORDER POINT / COOLDOWN TIME 999999999 YEARS

YES / NO ;

WTF… How should he know that now?

After some thinking, Victor took a deep breath and paid the 100 Order points. Reducing his total points to 8. He was not happy at all, but he felt the need to do this.

Anything fated for Scions was never a trivial thing. Especially this thing that Victor believed to be the one with the X world destiny.

He got one line of new info in return.

; MINOR SPARK <ETERNAL VITALITY> ;

Spark? He didn't know what is that... But another world grabbed his attention. Eternal.

Wasn’t Sebastian practicing some eternal body arts or something like that?

Fate is really amazing. Alpha was meant to be Sebastian's bride. She was meant to deliver this thing right into his filthy hands. Dead or Alive.

What should he do now? Victor frowned as the girls looked at him with expecting eyes… Not all of them. Nightshade was wondering if he finally figured out how to use a condom…

Unfortunately, Victor had no answer. He couldn’t afford to figure out how to activate this thing. He could try eating it or feeding it to Alpha, but if it was easy, the Von Richter family would have long done that. If only….

Wait… He has a way! Victor smiled, making a shiver run through the girl's spine… He looked evil. Super Evil…

Nightshade wondered if he figured it out at last… Will she become a woman today? What was she thinking?

“Theta, take care of Alpha… oh and.” Victor suddenly remembered something and threw a talisman at Nightshade who flinched as the talisman shone.

She was shocked as a screaming voice could be heard as a few dark shadows escaped from her body while burning... She lost consciousness a moment later.

“Secure the girls here. And make sure to keep feeding Alpha healing pills.” He said. Ignoring Nightshade whose skin began healing after the factor inhibiting the healing was removed. Victor had no time for this bag of trouble though, so he secretly added a sealing talisman.

Theta frowned as she watched.

“What about the spike?” She asked… Alpha still had that ominous spike in her.

“Don’t touch it for now… I will return as fast as possible.” He said, removing the spike would make Alpha bleed more. Her body would start consuming the poison faster.

“Where to, young master?” She asked. As Alpha watched him with complex eyes.

“Hunting… Scamming….” He said, carefully putting the bead in his pocket as he began to walk in the direction Sebastian went… That bastard was still loitering around.
