The Young Master in the Shadows

Tom cursed loudly as he hung up his disposable phone.

“Damn it, Margret that slut has sold herself to that pervert Victor, too. They are all sluts! Choosing to go with the guy who had the money. Just wait, I will be richer than him in a few years.” He yelled angrily before sending the payment instructions he prepared. It was using an untraceable courier, and it was all possible because of the system's help. It gave him the method to contact the courier and also Victor’s private phone number.

It took 15 minutes for the courier to send a message confirming that the payment had been processed and the “washed” money had been deposited into his bank account. Tom quickly sent the Videos using his phone, then destroyed it. Now, no one can trace those things back to him.

He laughed loudly as he walked while wondering what sort of gifts he should buy for his girlfriends. He met a new girl yesterday while escaping the fat man. She even gave him a ride in her red sports car. He had to impress her somehow. Maybe buy a car?

…

The car stopped at the entrance of the white oak mall. It was the biggest, and grandest mall in the entire city. If someone wanted to find the most luxurious brands and merchandise they would come here.

Alex quickly stepped down and opened the door for Victor, who stepped down after Lily.

“What should we buy first?” Asked Mina as she straightened her skirt.

“Let’s go get a new phone for Margret,” Victor said as he headed to a nearby Green technology phone store branch. This was different from the one they entered the previous time.

Walking through the mall’s marble floor all the customers couldn’t help but look with astonishment at the lineup of two handsome boys and four pretty girls. Are they an Idol group?

Victor quickly entered the store and headed to the only salesman and flashed his token ignoring the fat woman that was arguing about the price. “I want two VX phones. One black and one brown.” He started without waiting. The salesman looked at the token then at Victor as if he was an idiot.

“Who the hell do you think you are? What VX or BX, this is a reputed phone shop, we don’t deal with knock-offs here. Now get out and don’t block the road of the beauties behind you.” The receptionist said as he began to inspect the girls.

Victor didn’t move, he really wanted to act unreasonably but this is a family shop, this guy must be new.

“Just call your boss. And tell him an heir is here.” Victor said,

“Are you deaf, I told you to step away, fucking retard.” The salesman said as he gestured to the guard on the door.

The guard slowly approached Victor respectfully but was stopped by Alex who stepped in his way.

“Sir, may I ask you to….” The guard trailed off as he saw the purple token in Victor’s hand, then looked at the angry salesman, at Alex then at Victor who shrugged his shoulders.

The guard didn’t say anything else, he quickly ran to the back of the store.

“What’s wrong with him? I should tell my father to fire him.” The salesman said as he looked at Victor with disgust. “Don’t think you can come here and act like you are rich.. Look at the rags you are wearing. You call those clothes? Where are their brands? They must have come from some stall.

Look at me, I only wear top brand clothes.” The man said trying to impress the girls by showing the contrast between him And Victor, whose tolerance was about to run out. His clothes were not even made by a factor, they were all handmade, and which idiot designer dares to put his insignia on a Von Weise’s Clothes.

“I advise you…” Victor tried to say but was interrupted “Shut Up. I will show you whaaaa..” The salesman yelled then stopped as Lily couldn’t take it anymore so she punched him in the face. making him hit the glass cabinet behind him.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, ” The fat woman who was having fun watching them screamed then ran away from the store.

“Sorry young master, I couldn't hold myself,” Said Lily as the unconscious man slowly slid to the ground with a bloodied face.

Margaret and the Twins looked at Lily with horror. Especially Margret, who didn’t interact with her a lot. This girl is scary. She thought as she looked at the poor man. He deserved it though, how dare he yell at Victor.

Alex acted quickly and ran to close the door of the store to avoid further trouble.

“It’s Ok,” Victor said, “I would have done it a second later, but you beat me to it,” Victor added as he patted Lily’s hair. This girl is very protective of him, and that hit was really amazing. It came so fast out of nowhere. that even he couldn't register it until seconds before impact. It made Victor remember that Lily was trained as an assassin.

“Do you think his actions were intentional?” Alex asked as she checked on the man. He was still breathing.

“Maybe, maybe not. Does it matter?” Victor asked, but before anyone could answer a man ran into the store with the guard.

“Ah, Malcolm, who did it.” The man screamed as he knelt next to the salesman’s collapsed body to only be silenced by a kick in his chin by Victor.

“I did it. You piece of shit, how dare you, a mere salesman, make fun of this young master.” Victor shouted as the man was thrown to the other side of the store, and didn’t get up. The guard didn’t dare intervene, he just ran to check if his boss was still alive. He was just a little guard in the family.

The twins held each other’s hands. This was the first time they saw Victor act like that.

Victor looked coldly at that man then gestured to his shocked entourage to leave. “Wasn’t the young master's reaction a little inappropriate?” The girls wondered, “The young master must not be offended.”

“Don’t worry he is still alive, you clean this mess.” Victor cursed at the guard, who was kneeling beside his boss as he left. “Sorry Margret, I will get you a special phone later.” He said walking out of the store.

Margret swallowed, and took a deep breath as she followed Victor out, being a player seemed to have changed her, she no longer repulsed from seeing violence. It was as if basic survival instincts had awakened in her.

“Was it really a good choice following Victor? It’s too late now, she has already entered the lion's jaws.” She sighed.

The twins didn’t mind what Victor did, they had been taught the family law by Hilda, and those men were lucky because Victor spared their lives. Little did the girls know that the man would never leave the hospital bed for the rest of his life.

“Would there be any trouble?” Lily asked as she took out a handkerchief to whip out a few blood stains on Victor’s pants. That kick has broken the shopkeeper's jaws. He may have gone a little overboard there in front of the girls, but he couldn’t control his feelings. He knew that man who was one of his subordinates in his past life, he was also one of the guys who helped frame him back then. Victor didn’t expect to meet him here. Now one down, a hundred to go.

“No, that guy worked for Baron. who will be dead soon.” Victor whispered as he hugged her waist and began to swagger in the mall while thinking that this incident was not bad. It would help him confirm his reputation.

“Should we go get some dresses now?” Mana asked timidly.

“What dresses?” Asked a girl in a curious voice, It was Lulu who was panting heavily with Abe. They grabbed a cab here, then had to run around searching for Victor.

“Oh, you are here. Well, I have a party tonight, and Margaret will be my escort. So she needs a suitable dress.” Victor said.

“Ah, what shameless individual throws a party tonight, doesn’t he know that all of the celebrities and important people are attending the Summer gathering at the white Hotel?” Lulu asked, to be answered by a weird gaze from all of the girls.

“Wait?! Are you attending the gathering?” Lulu said in shock.

“Yes,” Margret said with a little blush.

“Young master, Margaret is a slut, she will disgrace you there. Take me instead.” Lulu said as she threw her body on Victor, who professionally stepped to the side, making her hug a huge marble column.

“That won’t work, our names have already been registered.” He fabricated a response as he dusted his pants.

Margret, who was a little grateful to Victor, gave Lulu a cold stare but said nothing. If she was a slut, then Lulu was the queen of all sluts. That girl had two rich boyfriends at the same time, in addition to five poor souls who acted as spare tires for her circle around and milk for benefits every now and then.

“Now, you girls go shopping while I go attend to some business, let’s meet here at launch time. I will be taking Leo, so Alex, you would be staying with the girls to guard them.” Victor said, making Alex nod. She really wanted to shop with the girls, as she had never experienced something like that before.

“Can I accompany you, young master?” Abe asked like a gentleman. Although he really wanted to accompany the girls, he had no face to do that, and this was an amazing chance for him to do some business with Victor. Maybe he would be able to scam some money from him. He heard that the brothel he goes to will get a new batch of girls tomorrow night.

Victor looked at him with disgust then nodded. He wouldn’t mind the bad reputation hanging with this guy would bring him.

“Let’s go.” He said as he swaggered out of the mall towards Leo who was acting as if the SUV was his in front of a young mother and her child.

“Are you going to let me wait here forever?” Victor yelled as he looked strangely at the woman, then at her child, he appeared to be 7 or 8 years old.

“Did you finish young master?” Leo stumbled as he ran to Victor’s side to open the door for him while giving the woman an apologetic look. She spat in his direction then left. As if she didn’t need any explanations.

Victor sat in the middle seat then looked around the car and focused on the front mirror as Abe climbed into the adjacent one.

“Where to? young master,” Leo asked while adjusting the safety belt.

“I need to buy some drugs. Go to the south corner of the fifth street.” Victor said loudly, making Leo frown a little but he said nothing. The young master always gets what he wants. But he shouldn't buy those things from untrusted sources. And he had never heard of a seller on the fifth street.

“Young master, I know some people who can get you all kinds of drugs. You just tell me, there is no need for you to do the trip personally.” Abe said before Leo could speak.

“Some things can only be done by your own hands,” Victor said, not trying to fix their misunderstanding.
