“Come here, you are safe,” Theta told the frightened girl as the twins and two assassin girls cleared the area of snakes.
“Are you hurt anywhere?” Theta asked the girl who was hiding in a small hole while fending off snakes for hours.
The girl quickly shook her pretty head… She was ok, just a little frightened. She thought her suffering had ended when she escaped from the brothel… Clearly, that was not the case.
“Is this the last one alone?” Mana asked as she finished the last of the snakes in the area.
“Yes… We are lucky this place is not that big.” Theta nodded as she checked her map… “Now we should clean this place up, then regroup with big sister Alpha at the boss’s room.” She added as she began to collect the GEMs scattered on the floor.
“Too bad Aria is not with us… We could have let her sell those things for us…” Mina said.
“The young master might have other uses for them, didn’t you notice how the array seemed to be working using them?” Mana replied.
“It’s just that my ring is already half full of those low-quality Gems! I don’t want to carry them on my back.” Mina complained as she stroked the storage Ring on her finger, this was given to her by the young master… Although it was just a normal gift from him, she liked to imagine it as something else.

After leaving the highway, Victor headed to the Hotel while calling George to tell him what happened. They needed to hide their tracks.
Thankfully all the cameras in the hotel were disabled today because of Iris's revenge party. So the evidence cleaning would be pretty easy… George just told Victor to stay low for a while.
Entering his room in the hotel, Victor was surprised to see that Lily was there talking with Lara whose eyes shone when she looked at him.
"Esteemed Brother! You are back! " She said as she ran to him then jumped and hugged him.
"You missed me that much?" He asked jokingly as he held her.
" Mmm… Can you teach me how to do it?" She whispered pleadingly in his ear as she hung from his neck, earning herself a slap at her pretty head as he put her down.
"After your ceremony, you are still too young for that!… And don't tell anyone about this. That’s an order." Victor warned as he rubbed her hair… Lily’s ears perked. Young for what?
"Ummm," she said… Not really content. But not daring to argue. She had already been punished once today. And she doesn’t want to taste that thing ever again
“Even father?” She asked a moment later…
“Not if you want me to teach you.” He said, making her nod to herself.
"Lily, how is my grandmother??" He turned to Lily and asked. She was carefully inspecting him and Alex who was standing nervously near the door with a stupid grin.
"Ah… She is fine. Although she would leave the hospital today, she would need a wheelchair for a couple of days." She said casually, "How was your night yesterday young master?" She asked curiously after noticing his pale complexion.
"I may have overtaxed myself… We will talk about this later." He said as he took a pill and swallowed it, then remembering something, he got another one from his ring and gave it to Lily.
“Give this to grandma secretly, it would let her heal faster.” He said.
"You are not going back to the family villa?" She asked as she carefully packed the pill.
"No… I am too tired for that, and I can't risk getting agitated by those idiots." He said as he took off his shirt and then threw himself on his grand bed. Lara blushed softly and averted her eyes… then looked again secretly. Her esteemed brother's body is so good, even better than her esteemed father, whom she might have accidentally watched as he trained… Not on purpose!
"Then you would stay here with Alex?" Lily asked, a little annoyed that she can't sleep with her young master.
" Yes… Sorry Lily, but I really need you to protect my mother. She hates Alex so I can't let him do that. The girls should finish the raid in two days, we can return to Vein city after that." He said, lying a little. He didn’t dare to sleep next to this girl in his current state… Things might happen, and this idiot would not stop him.
Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
“Your mother might want to stay in town a little longer. She told me to tell you.” She said,
“Father won’t agree to Lara staying here,” Victor said, tilting his head to look at his little sister who was secretly inspecting him. “I will work something out… Tell her not to worry, I will talk to father… Now I just need some sleep.” He said as he yawned then buried his head in his pillow and closed his eyes, seemingly falling asleep.
Lily wanted to ask him what he did yesterday, but seeing his tired face, she decided not to. After gently covering her young master, she dragged the reluctant Lara out with Alex. Not forgetting to take his crumbled shirt with her... To wash it.
"Where did you go yesterday?" Lily asked Alex just as the room’s door closed.
Alex blushed and looked away not answering.
“ A brothel?” Lily whispered, not letting Lara hear it.
Alex hesitated for a second then nodded, confirming Lily's guess.
“What did he do there causing him to be this tired?” She asked with concern and a little tiny bit of jealousy…
“I don't know… " Alex decided to answer truthfully after hearing Lily's concerned tone.
"Don’t get me wrong… He left me with the girls and went secretly out for a swim. He returned at dawn looking like this." She explained after some thought… Watching as Lily sighed in relief.
"I see… I will take Miss Lara back to the Villa. Keep the young master safe." Lily said as she dragged Lara, who was busy eavesdropping out of the suite. She didn’t intend to ask about anything else. Not now anyway.
She believed in her young master. But sometimes, she wondered why the hell did he need to do all those secretive things all the time. Can't he just tell her? She would be more than pleased to serve him….
Today, she just had the very strange feeling that he was avoiding looking directly at her… no that's impossible, this must be her imagination.
…
Kalvin returned home at noon. He was a little concerned about his wife and his future nightlife… What kind of pill did his evil grandson feed him? It took 3 Girls and 7 hours to satisfy him... He was not annoyed, just a little bit scared of himself.
“Damn it…” He cursed as he walked into a hallway and suddenly stopped as he noticed that Lara was sneaking somewhere with her little maid... What was her name? El? Nevermind. He silently followed, wondering what those too brats were up to.
They stopped in the backyard, and after turning around and making sure no one was around Lara began to speak.
“I am sorry that I didn’t believe you before El… I saw it with my eyes today.” She said.
“He flew?” El asked excitedly.
“Um… He passed through the window like a ghost and then flew away… Then there were some big explosions in the distance… He is just like those heroes in movies!” She said.
“I told you… Did he teach you how?” El asked.
“No...He refused…. Though he promised to teach me after the cermony... But that will be a couple of years later... And told me not to tell anyone…” She explained.
“Then why did you tell me?” El asked as she flinched with concern.
“You are not anyone… You are El… And you already know.” Lara said with a little mischievous smile. “And you will not tell anyone…” She added.
El nodded quickly… as if fearing something.
The girls then began to speak about some random little girls' things. Lara began to talk about her esteemed brother’s muscles... and how his skin was very white…. El was nodding with sparkling eyes.
Kalvin was not interested in his bro-con grandaughter's fantasies, so he made his way back to the living room where that veiled maid Lily was talking to his daughter.
“The young master had told me that he would talk with his esteemed father... He might let you stay here for a while, But he might have other arrangements for Miss Lara.” Lily said.
“Nothing unexpected… But it's better this way, I don't want Lara back at the island anytime soon as I keep having an ominous feeling that something bad might happen there... It's a mother's intuition... “ Elena said before noticing her father's shadow by the door. “Father... Welcome back… I am pleased that you remembered that you have a house around here... How was your … Test?” She asked him with an annoyed voice when she noticed him enter the room.
“A success…” He said as he coughed a little… “How is your mother?” He asked.
“Why don’t you go and ask her yourself…. Oh... Maybe we shouldn’t let you near her….” Elena said as she glared at him. Her mother told her things. Nasty things.
“Ahmm… I will go and talk to her later….” He said as his phone rang saving him from a very embarrassing conversation.
Looking at the number he quickly headed to the study where he activated a special jammer and then answered.
“Kalvin is here... This line is secure.”
“General… There was an accident in your town… Is this your doing?” His subordinate voice hesitatingly said.
“What? No... What happened?” Kalvin asked.
“An hour ago, there was a terrorist attack on the highway. Two cars were blown up… Our analysis points to Victor von Weise as the culprit, your grandson right?... Anyway, he is the only known terrorist in town and some of our men saw him talk to the Victim in the morning.” His subordinate said, making Kalvin open his mouth in surprise.
“Victim? Did anyone die?”
“Seven people from the Su family… They are on the green list… And one of them is on the Black list.” The answer came.
“Is there any evidence?” Kalvin asked.
“None… Today is very weird as most of the cameras in town are out of order... We traced it back to some strange activity in your hotel. But we couldn't get our men in.... and we ignored it as it was a party hosted by your family... We believed this was a special operation...” The subordinate explained making Kelvin suddenly remember… Yes, there was something like that about a VIP, but he was too busy in the morning and didn’t care about that.
“No, it wasn't... What happened at the party?” Kalvin asked in concern.
“We don’t know… About 20 people died for sure as we saw the body bags getting transported out. Some guards' legs were broken And many people headed to the hospitals with their fingers bitten off by dogs… Very esteemed dogs according to their testimonies…. General. You should probably ask your sons what happened then tell us….” The subordinate said with some embarrassment.
"I will see what I can do... Tell the other generals to prepare a meeting... I might have some new info... " Kalvin said as he hang up and looked out of the window. He was a little in shock. What the F*ck happened today when he was at that brothel?
