Victor didn’t have to wait for long, as two hours later his father left the hall with Falcon and the girls. The smile on their faces was grander than when they went in.
“Let’s go celebrate.” His father told him as they headed to his mansion on the main Island. The results were supposed to be announced tomorrow, so they would stay here tonight.
When they reached the mansion, A grand meal was already prepared by George who greeted them respectfully.
Iris was nervous earlier so she was very hungry, as for Zoe who has already eaten in the waiting hall, she didn’t mind having another meal.
“What are your classes?” Victor asked them as they sat at the table.
“Victor, you can’t ask such a question,” His father warned.
“It’s OK, I am a HERO, and Iris is a Thief,” Zoe shouted before Falcon could stop her.
“You shouldn’t give your information this easily.” He warned her with a stern voice and then a sigh, this girl will always do what she wants.
Zoe just poked her out playfully making him shake his head. This girl is hopeless.
“Ah, a Hero. That’s interesting? What does it mean?” Victor asked.
“It is a rare class. It provides proficiency in all weaponry, and in theory, you would get more experience and skills the more you do good things.” Theodore said, “You must not tell anyone about this though, it would make you a target for the family's enemies. But I wonder how many good things have you done for the system to grant you this class?” He added making Zoe blush a little. She has always been more fit than the others in the family and liked using her powers to help others.
“If the class has something to do with a person’s life, Then why is big sister Iris a thief?” Victor asked the question he was intending to ask, making Falcon and Zoe look at her, they also wanted to know.
“Ah….” She hesitated as Theodore looked at her, “I want to know that too,” He asked, the report George gave him didn’t include anything of this sort.
“Well…..” She said, “My adoptive mother was a thief, and she taught my younger adoptive sister and me how to do it. We had even gone on a few missions with her.” She answered embarrassingly.
“Why are you so poor then?” He asked her, The report clearly stated that they didn’t have money for her father’s operation and that she needed to work two jobs to keep her sister in school.
“Well, My adoptive mother, hid the truth from my father, who discovered everything when she died on a mission, so he forbade us from stealing.” She said, “He said, he would rather die than take a tainted penny, so we swore to him that we would never do it again.” She said while keeping her face down, making everyone a little surprised, this girl was not as useless as she seems to be.
“How good are you precisely?” Victor suddenly asked,
“Well, my mother was the blue phantom thief. I haven't reached her level, but she praised me repeatedly as a natural.” She said, making everyone, including George who was supposed to investigate her, gasp.
The blue phantom thief was a legend, he stole many of the greatest treasures in the world. Then suddenly all of the sudden disappeared a few years ago. Many speculated that he retired. But it seems she passed away.
“Then what happened to all the money your mother gathered in her life? She must have had a lot.” Victor asked again.
“Well,... we don’t know. That’s the problem. Adoptive mother hid this very well and never told us.” Iris said with a sigh, “Adoptive Father would not take any of it anyway.” She added.
“Don’t worry about such things, you would not need those things anymore” Theodore said, as he began to eat, secretly gesturing to George to try to find out everything about this. Those treasures would be of great use to the family.
“Oh, that reminds me, You will go with Zoe tomorrow to the main vault. She was granted elite status too. So you would need to enter the vault to select a treasure.” Theodore said to Victor.
“What about Iris?” He asked.
“Sadly, she is too old and was raised outside the family. And unlike Zoe, her class was not something the family really needed. But her attributes were good, so she was only granted a first-degree heir status.” Theodore said as he sighed. The elders in the family didn’t want Theodore to have a fourth elite descendant, so they pressured the patriarch into this.
“Oh, ok.” Said Victor as he looked at Zoe and smiled, making her blush a little.
…
Rita was overjoyed, she never thought that the family would grant her an elite status. But her joy was not long-lived, as her grandfather didn’t even spare her a glance as he arranged a mahogany casket for Carlos’s body as soon as they returned to their island.
She could only sigh as she looked out of the window onto the moon illuminated ocean.
Tomorrow he sends the body to a secret meeting place on the pretense of burying Carlos in his hometown, where it would be given to Von Zwei.
She was hesitant at first, but after a few friendly electrical shocks from the system, she learned her place and decided to act. Her grandfather would be miserable, but what does that have anything to do with her.

She went downstairs to the garden where many trained security hounds were patrolling. She randomly took three of them and headed to the main warehouse, where the body was placed, and prepared to be shipped in the morning. She was going to give him a night's visit.
Thankfully no servants dared to wander here after her grandfather killed two of them. Their fault was for treating the casket a little too harshly when transporting it.
She carefully removed the seals and opened the casket. Carlos’s body was sleeping there peacefully. Not for long.
She never liked this guy. He knew pretty well that she was his brother’s fiance, yet insisting on harassing and peeping on her. He wanted to control every aspect of her life. Now, look at what happened to him. Maybe it was the system? She didn’t know.
IT WAS ME. I WANTED TO MAKE THIS SPY A MAID TOO, BUT HE REFUSED TO BE CASTRATED, SO THIS SYSTEM PUNISHED HIM. I DON'T TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER.
The system said, making a shiver go up Rita’s spine. She better do what this system says if she doesn’t want to end up like him.
She swallowed them one by one, she guided the well-trained dog, to do their business on the corpse. They didn’t like Carlos either.
After finishing, While plugging her nose, Rita carefully sealed the casket back again, then she rubbed the casket using some oil and incense to hide the smell and ran away.
Thankfully her attributes were very high, and she didn’t get tired at all.
When she returned to her room the system mission accomplishment menu appeared.
MISSION SUCCESS
REWARD: YOUR YOUNG MASTER WOULD THINK FONDLY OF YOU TONIGHT.
The system started making her want to spit. Who would want that pervert to think fondly of her?
But he was handsome.
Suddenly her phone rang, it was an unknown number. Could it be really him?
It was Victor, who said that he couldn’t sleep thinking about her. What a pervert, she thought, but was not angry, she never felt so cared for in her life. And she liked the feeling.
Victor proceeded to talk to her for an entire hour, then promised that they would meet tomorrow at the family vault to select a treasure.
After hanging up, Rita was surprised at how easy and refreshing it was to talk to Victor. This guy was not too bad after all.
She sighed thinking about her gloomy life, wondering what she should do.
THE SYSTEM TOLD YOU, FOLLOW ME AND YOU WILL BE HAPPY
MISSION.
SATISFY YOUR YOUNG MASTER TOMORROW.
REWARD
THE YOUNG MASTER WOULD GIVE YOU A GIFT
PUNISHMENT
THE YOUNG MASTER WOULD SPANK YOU IN PUBLIC
Satisfy?
…
After finishing his phone call with Rita, Victor called Lily and Aria to let them know that he will not return tonight. After that, he relaxed on his bed while looking at the ceiling. He didn't like the feeling of sleeping alone. Should he go to the brothel? There is one on the island. No, he can’t touch women yet.
Should he make Zoe a night visit? Also no, Falcon would probably castrate him.
Iris? Also No. He didn’t want her to hate him.
He could only close his eyes and think of Lily as he slept when he noticed someone sneaking into the room from the window.
He quickly used his disguise skill and stepped back carefully from the bed and looked at the intruder. Iris.
She stood there over his bed, she was not normal. Her eyes were white, and blood was seeping from her nose. She had a savage look as eyes began to surface on her skin and close repeatedly.

It is the same demon, this thing has probably discovered his mistake and returned for revenge. But how did it find him? It must have read Iris’s memory, this thing was not low leveled at all. It wanted to kill him before Iris, as completing his mission would send it back to whatever hell world it came from.
Victor wondered what he should do, fight? No way that thing is powerful, but it seemed to be fooled by the illusion again. This has something to do with the authority, and made Victor frown, could it be that his authority hack not only works in this world but others too?
He quickly bought a dispelling charm from the store and pressed it on Iris’s head, she was busy relishing as she bit his pillow.
She let out a loud howl that would have woken up the entire mansion if not for the disguise he placed on the room.
Slowly a demon’s body began to separate from Iris, who fell unconscious on the ground as that black thing began to howl in pain, and began to look around in vigilance
This time Victor used the appraisal on him.

Shit, this thing was too powerful for him, unless. Victor carefully took out the needle he used on Dick.
Can this be attacked from the outside? Probably not. Its body was somewhat ethereal. Maybe?
He carefully stuck the needle on a pillow on the ground, then stepped away as the demon saw the pillow as Victor and attacked it with his mouth, biting it into shreds. This is the most amazing thing it has ever tasted. It couldn’t help taking a few more bites until something stuck in its throat.
It didn’t have the time to howl as it disintegrated leaving behind a bronze ring and a black GEM. that had two red stripes. This thing would probably grant him a lot of exp, but he would have to wait until he clears a dungeon to cash it.
▓▌▄▐░▒▌▄▌RING SS
GRANT’S THE ABILITY TO SHIFT THROUGH SHADOWS
This thing was amazing, he will have to test it. But not now. He quickly marked it with his blood and decided to call it the shadow shifter Ring.
Shadow Shifter RING SS
The name changed in his appraisal window as he pocketed it with the very expensive GEM and the needle. then hurried to check on Iris, who seemed to be a little exhausted, but fine otherwise. She would probably wake up in the morning.
Victor quickly placed a healing pill in her mouth then straightened her clothes and threw her on his bed. It looks like he didn’t have to sleep alone tonight after all.
