The Young Master in the Shadows

Chapter 74: The Girls

Victor looked at the cash bags that were stacked on the marble floor with a smile, Although he had a lot of money, All of his transactions are usually monitored by the family. These were different as he can use them outside for doing some hidden things when needed. The bags beside them were already emptied. There were about a dozen rifles and guns, two boxes of grenades, and two rocket launchers. In addition to a few ammo boxes.

“Not bad,” he thought. Heavy assault weapons are usually hard to get from the family without a good reason, but with these, he would be able to secretly arm a private team.

He was not here for those.

He quickly looked around until he found several other bags that were carefully placed alone. He approached them and opened them slowly to reveal many treasures.

Victor licked his lips as he started to take things out and sort them one by one.

There were about 20 rare crafting materials, and 15 rare herbs. A silver herb grabbed his attention. This one he needed as a part of the recipe for the blood awakening liquid, so this was a pleasant surprise for him.

Next were the Artifacts. 3 attributes increasing rings, one wizard's robe, and 2 levitating necklaces. Nothing special, but he couldn’t expect better as the precious items would usually be collected privately or saved to be sold at bigger auctions. Not a hidden one.

The last pile of treasures contained the weapon artifacts. There were a total of 7 melee weapons. 2 swords, 3 daggers, a crossbow, a hammer, and a spear.

All of them were B ranked except the spear and a dagger which ware A-ranked artifact. The dagger had a paralyzing effect. So he would be keeping it for himself.

Victor smiled as he grabbed the spear and weighed it in his hand. He has the Spear Arts skill book from the goblin's dungeon. But he already has the dagger throwing skill, so it would be better to give it to someone else. The skill book which was still stored as a system rewards, can only be used once.

Looking at the time, Victor realized that he was here for three hours, so he quickly grabbed the spear, two daggers, one sword and a necklace. Then flicked his hand, making them disappear into thin air with a grin. "This thing is really convenient." he thought.

…

When Victor reached the top floor, Hilda was waiting for him near the stairs.

“Young master, the girls are ready to meet you,” she said. giving him a strange look while wondering if he would also sleep with those girls.

Victor smiled and nodded his head. He really enjoyed his bad reputation. That's how he wanted people to see him, exposing a fake weak point is never a bad strategy.

Hilda’s opinion of him needs to be improved though. But that would easily happen over time, once she gets to know him well.

“Hilda, I talked to my father, from now on you are mine.” He said as he took his token then pointed it to Hilda. The family crest on her neck flashed, indicating the success of the transfer. So victor quickly used his token to make the crest invisible.

“Hilda has met her master.” She said as she bowed down respectfully. She has long expected this to happen. And it is better this way, as she can stay with the twins.

“No need for formalities and call me young master like usual,” He said as he headed to the dining room.

The girls were standing there with anxious looks on their faces. And when they saw Victor with his gray purple hair, they quickly gathered to hug each other while shaking in fear.

Lily and the twins were surprised by their reaction, as they had already assured them that this young master was really good. But Victor understood their dilemma, His look reminded them of Titus. That bastard must have been their nightmare. Lina must have forgotten to tell them that he and Titus are from the same family.

The girls were now regretting not escaping earlier. They should have taken the other choice.

“Don’t be afraid, Although I belong to the same family as Titus, I am not him, and I have never liked him. Now stand straight and let me inspect you.” He said in a soft voice as he sat down with his back at the table.

The girls didn’t dare disobey, so they slowly separated from each other and stood straight, they still shook a little though.

Victor inspected them slowly. They were very pretty, with the same degree of beauty as the twins. About 11% on The Lily scale, which compares their beauty to Lily’s.

They seemed to have bathed and they were wearing similar simple sleeveless white dresses. So he could see that their arms and legs had traces of some bruise marks, but nothing serious. This must be Titus’s handiwork. But he seemed to have kept his hand not wanting to ruin the merchandise. They were all still virgins.

The girls were getting nervous as they observed Victor’s gaze on them. It didn't leave an inch of their body without inspection.

“Don’t worry, Lily told me that she promised that you want to stay together, and her promise is as good as mine, so relax. I will not hurt you like Titus. Now report your names and ages,” He said with a soft smile, making the girls relax a little bit. He looked really charming.

One by one they began to tell their symbolic names while Victor activated his Admin Appraisal skill to inspect them. After the upgrade, it can work on the unawakened, but it will not reveal much information.

Beta was the oldest being 1 year older than Victor, while Theta the youngest was 2 years younger. And all of them have some unique bloodline. That’s why they were kept as premium goods.

All of them had weak bodies, but that status is pretty good for girls that were locked up. They have a high intelligence status though. This means that they can be educated pretty quickly and this is a good thing.

Victor slowly stood up and approached Theta, the youngest, and inspected her carefully, making her shake in fear. Victor slowly put his hand and gently patted her hair during her. This girl was very interesting. Her luck was off the charts. Even Tom, a scion, only had 30 Luck, and as far as he knew, The Luck attribute after 50 is very hard to rise. She must have some super rare bloodline.

Sadly, he does not have a measuring device. Those things are pretty expensive even for him, as they are only sold in mega auctions in exchange for COINs.

The system shop does not have those things. The only things that can be purchased at all times are the healing Pills, dispelling talismans, and items that players might need at a dungeon. The other things like skill books, materials, and artifacts are randomly allocated in limited quality and get refilled or changed every 24 hours.

“Do not be afraid. I wanted to ask you about your real names. Not those symbols.” He said as he turned to face beta. She seemed to be their leader.

“Y... Y... Young master, …, We have long forgotten our old names, we chose to keep those names. Our parents sold and abandoned us so we don’t need the names they gave us.” She said.

“Oh, then what are your father’s and mother’s names, what do they look like, where are you from?” He asked.

“It’s …, I..., I don’t remember.” Beta said, with a little shock. She never thought of that before, why can’t she remember. The girls were the same, their faces turned white in shock.

“It’s OK, What is the earliest thing you remember? Think slowly.” He said slowly.

“Ah…, it was master Titus. And Master Baron.” She said slowly with a frown that quickly disappeared when Victor flicked her between her eyes.

“Don’t call them Master. From now on, just call them dog and pig. I am your only young master here.” He said arrogantly, making The girls smile a little as they nodded their heads. They would love to call those bastards by those names.

“Your memories were erased by Titus. And that’s the reason you don’t remember.” He said, making the girl gasp in shock then slowly realize that he was telling the truth. They looked at each other and nodded. It’s true. All of them are the same. what kind of magic is this.

"Don't worry, from now on you will create new memories, happy ones. And I will try my best to find a way to return your memories." He said with a smile, making the distressed girls feel a little warm.

Sadly Victor had no way of returning their memories right now. Such a process is not always guaranteed, but usually, the memories would slowly return after those with erased memories become players. It takes time though.

Lily watched their interaction with Victor while smiling. Her young master knows everything. As for the twins they were a little shocked and felt that they were lucky they fell into Hilda’s hands.

But who between them would stay with the young master. Did they really want to leave? The young master has been very good to them.

And what would they do if they left? Is Tom really worth it? They wondered.

After seeing the recording, they affirmed what the young master told them, that man was a real pervert. They can still be friends, but they would never let him touch them with his filthy hands.
