Isabella was in her bed, busy hitting her pillow when her roommate finally came home and looked at her frustrated friendā¦
āWhatās wrong Bella?ā The short-haired cheerful girl asked.
āAh... Naomi⦠Nothing, I was just thinking about somethingā¦ā Isabella replied as she readjusted her pillow.
āOh⦠Do you need me to help you apply your medicine for you again?ā Naomi asked,
āAhā¦. No ⦠I managed to do it myselfā¦..ā She replied as she buried her face in her pillow, hiding her blushing face.
āOhh⦠Thatās fine thenā¦ā Naomi said as she yawned⦠āBy the way, I checked that Victor for you⦠A total pervert, but I canāt touch him, he is an elite heir in the Von Weise family⦠The real cream of the crop⦠We never even got near him⦠we are still too weak for that⦠Why donāt you hook up with him⦠He is really rich, and you would no longer have to hang out with poor players like usā¦ā She said jokingā¦. Isabella didnāt laugh, she just turned her face and glared at her friendā¦
āHeheā¦. Now, tell me⦠Did you find any suitable recruits? The organization is taking shape⦠and we need more free players to join..ā she asked,
āAh⦠I have someone in mindā¦.. I will get you his file laterā¦ā Isabella said, not daring to look at her friend.
āOh...Good, Just be sure he doesnāt belong to any major powers..ā Naomi said as she left the room.
Isabella didnāt reply, she just sighedā¦. What happened today? Why did she act like that in front of Tomā¦?
Thankfully, after applying the ointment, She heard another teacher in the corridor, and managed to pull back her skirt in time before he entered the roomā¦
But how could she let a student touch her buttā¦. What was wrong with her⦠Sure, she was in a lot of pain, but stillā¦..
Why was she ok with Tom?
Is she just some loose woman.... He was her student damn it...
Why is everyone taking advantage of herā¦. First, That Victor stole her first kiss⦠Then Tom touched her buttā¦. And why did he run away like a scared chicken after that⦠Was her butt too ugly? Or was he embarrassedā¦. Thankfully no one saw them⦠Butā¦How would she be able to face him tomorrow?
āDAMN IT,ā she screamed as she bit hard on her pillowā¦
ā¦.
When Victor arrived at his mansion with his mother and sister it was already 10.30 PM. The girls had already eaten and gone to sleep, so only Hilda was waiting for them.
He asked about the dayās events, then quickly excused himself, telling his mother who was pestering him about Linda that he would explain everything tomorrow, and that he was really sleepy.
His mother had to reluctantly let him go and drag the sleepy Lara to her bed.
āYoung masterā¦ā Lily began to talk just as they entered his room.
āDid you succeed?ā He asked.
āYesā¦I was a little late, but managed to get some photos.ā She said,
āOh⦠Itās my fault, I didnāt expect the situation to progress this fastā¦.. He has real talentā¦ā He sighed...
āYoung masterā¦.. I need to ask you somethingā¦ā She said.
āYou want to ask about that beggar?ā He interrupted.
āYes⦠I felt strange looking at him... ā She replied with some embarrassment.
āIf my guess is correct, he should be your brother⦠His name is Yulian Von Krone.ā Victor told the truth, he didnāt want to lie to Lily too much.
āAhhā¦.ā Lily, who was surprised, didn't know what to say.
āHe is still doing his family test, so he will not contact you for another year⦠So ignore him for now.ā Victor sighed, āNow letās focus on the present.ā Victor said as he hugged her, āWell, The reason I didnāt take you with me and have been treating you a little coldly today, is because I am really afraid they would take you away if they noticed how much I love you.ā He whispered in her ear, making an involuntary shiver run through her body... She already knew that it was something like that⦠But it felt different hearing these words from his lips as they kissed her ear.
She began to breathe a little heavyā¦
āYoung master⦠Iā¦ā She stopped as her watery eyes turned ice coldā¦ā An intruder.ā She said as her mood changedā¦. She was angry.
Couldnāt they delay their arrival?
āYou just noticed?ā He asked leisurely⦠making her pout a little⦠They are outside the fence nowā¦. Did he really notice them before her?
āDonāt worry, I have already activated the array. And thatās why I found themā¦. They are already in our netā¦.ā He smiled as he watched Lily take out a new shiny dagger from her ring, in addition to an earpiece that she placed in her still blushing ear.
Victor did the same⦠This earpiece was a communication device for emergencies in the mansion. They didnāt want to leave anyone tied up in their rooms in case of emergencies.
āEveryoneā¦. The food is here. Are you ready?ā He then waited for confirmation from everyone. They were all ready.
āTwenty Nine targets, Seven mortals, Twenty-Two Semi-Players⦠Take your positions. Eliminate all targets outside only when they cross the third parameter⦠Leave the ones who sneak into the mansion to me and Lilyā¦.. Andā¦. Ignore El and Laraā¦Alpha itās your mission to keep an eye on themā¦pun intendedā¦ā He instructed with a smile as Alpha cursed him silently.
Victor carefully manipulated the array to shield his motherās room. He didnāt want her to hear anything⦠His mother might ruin his plan after all.
āLilyā¦Go and take out the one heading to the kitchen, ⦠Make sure he kills that maid Rose first though, I will guide him to herā¦. Cut his head and keep it clean⦠Hilda would be angry if we made a lot of mess⦠After that head outside and kill anyone who tries to escape⦠And make sure to keep your veil on at all times.ā Victor instructed Lily who nodded and then disappeared into the darkness outside his window.
Thanks to the array, he could use his appraisal skill throughout the mansion, as if it were a part of him. He could easily see who his intruders were. Especially semi-players⦠One of them was Mr. Kline, while the others were death warriors.
Who do they work for? Wait Troy Wiren..⦠Another piece of Sh*tā¦. Anyway, this guy was not a scion, so no need to be afraid.

Anywayā¦. First, he would need to get that Kline insideā¦as for the rest, he would use the array to guide them to spies surrounding the mansionā¦. Let them kill each other... or at the very least scare those guy's away.
ā¦
El was sneaking professionally, she already learned where it was safe to hide here in the mansion.
One⦠two⦠Now, she jumped from behind one vase to the otherā¦. She ran down the corridor⦠Into the drawing-room... She quickly reached for a wooden door to the side and opened it, to see the face of a handsome young man with a handsome mustache on his face.
āMr. Klineā¦ā She said with a sparkling eye,
He quickly put his hand on his mouth instructing her to stay silent.
āThe Basementā¦Stay closeā He whispered the put his cloak around her,
El nodded with a smile and began to silently guide him to the basementā¦. They quickly reached it
Mr. Kline silently inspected the lock, then professionally unlocked it using high-grade military picks he had.
Opening the door, El peeked inside⦠It was a long corridor⦠with no guards and no dogs.
āAre you sure this is the place?ā He asked with a frown. She nodded.
He hesitated for a moment, but decided to go in after allā¦
āGo ahead in front of me⦠I will protect you if someone attacks you from the backā¦ā He assured her. She nodded while wondering why he used the same line she usually uses to scam the other village boys to enter a cave before herā¦. No, Mr. Kline would never do that.
There is only one door in the frontā¦It was also Locked.
Kline again tried to use his picks⦠But they failed⦠He tried againā¦. Failedā¦. Making him frown as he slowly inspected it with his flashlightā¦
There is definitely something precious behind this gate.
He took another set of tools from somewhere⦠it was a strange key with no grooves⦠He put it in, then took it out, looked at it, and filled it with a file that was in the kitā¦
El didnāt understand what he was doing⦠as she had never heard about key impressioning before⦠But she knew to keep her silence and learnā¦
After 35 more filings and another 15 minutes, the door was opened by Mr. Kline who was sweating a lot from his forehead⦠He seemed tired.
She quickly helped him whip his sweat, But pushed awayā¦.
Sneaking into the room, it was full of boxes⦠this must be the treasure⦠El quickly followed behindā¦
Kline approached one of the boxes and opened it⦠Inside, it was full of magazinesā¦. Porn Magazinesā¦
El opened her mouth wideā¦. What is that woman on the cover doing⦠Why was she ****************************************** on that manās ****.
Kline didnāt speak, he just froze for a few minutes..⦠Then began to open the boxes one by one like a mad manā¦ā¦. After another five minutes, he turned to look at Elā¦.
āBitchā¦ā He said and slapped her face, making her small body fly and hit the wall on the other side.
This was his faultā¦. He should have never trusted this idiotā¦. Thankfully he came prepared, the other guys would search the entire mansion, and take everything valuable⦠and hopefully, the mountain deed tooā¦
His master was reluctant to let him buy the mountain for just a sketchy wine⦠but a few days ago the lab results came in⦠This wine has many uses, not only does it make people smarterā¦. It has a desirable side effect, it makes them temporarily more gullible too, and makes them more susceptible to his masterās Prolonged Hypnosis techniquesā¦.
No wonder the villagers were so quick to trust him⦠They drank a lot of this shitā¦. his Master told him that this was a great contribution⦠Too bad by then the mountain was already sold⦠He canāt tell his master that, so he had to take it back by himselfā¦.
This mansionās owner was a member of the Von Weise family⦠But so what.
His master had already told him that they would soon perish, and this guy was just a perverted young master, with no valueā¦. His master had already seen through their scheme of granting him an elite statusā¦. Would an elite live in a mansion without a dedicated team of player guards? Would an elite get his fiance stolen⦠What a jokeā¦. As long as that Victor was not dead, his family would not cause any trouble⦠They donāt have the resources to spare to do that anyway.
Now he needs to check onā¦..
Mr. Kline fell to the ground unconscious as Victor struck him with a steel baseball bat,
āWell⦠That was very anticlimacticā¦.ā Victor said as he dusted his hands and then looked at the terrified El.
āYou betrayed meā¦ā He said, making her slowly stand up as she leaned on the wall with blood seeping from her mouth⦠She looked at him with teary eyesā¦. She was crying⦠It was when Kline slapped herā¦. He promised to take care of her, He promised that he would give her a familyā¦.. He liedā¦.
āIā¦..ā She didnāt know what to sayā¦.. She could only weep⦠She also betrayed Victor who promised her a homeā¦.
āI donāt want to do thisā¦. But I have to keep my promiseā¦. I told you before, If you betray me, I will kill you⦠Thatās the ruleā¦ā He said as he flashed his daggerā¦
El cried as she looked at him, just as a little girl ran and stood in Victorās path spreading her small arms wide in front of him and shielding El behind her.
āDā¦. Donāt Kill little Elā¦.. ā Lara shoutedā¦. Stuttering.
āOh⦠āVictor was āShockedā āYou are here tooā¦. Did you see that⦠She helped a thief enter my house⦠I canāt let her live⦠You know the rules.ā He said, making Lara flinch a little, but not give way.
āI already promised El to take care of herā¦. You have to pass over my dead body if you want to kill her.ā She said bravely as tears began to well in her eyes.
āAhā¦. Where did you learn that line fromā¦.. That wonāt do⦠Alpha, get her away..ā He called, making Alpha appear out of nowhere and grab Lara then drag her to the wall.
āNooooo,ā Lara shouted as Victor approached the shaking El then stopped and looked at Lara.
āIt is too late⦠ā Victor said⦠As he slowly approached the crying El.
āYou already gave me El⦠You canāt hurt her now, it is my responsibility to punish herā¦.ā Lara suddenly shouted, Alpha who was grabbing her gave her this tip.
Victor frozeā¦.
āTrueā¦. But I didnāt complete the transfer⦠Soā¦ā He said as he looked at the crying El then sighedā¦. āFine, I promised El to be my little sister anywayā¦I canāt kill herā¦ā¦I will give you one more chance⦠The last chance.ā He said to El as Alpha let go of Lara who ran and hugged El who began to weep, making Lara shed some tears too.
āFrom now on, El will be your personal servantā¦. But if she ever betrayed you⦠I will kill her myself⦠remember thatā¦ā Victor said to Lara who looked at him and nodded with determinationā¦
āGo back to your room⦠I have some cleaning to do.ā He said.
Lara nodded as she was escorted with El to her room by Hilda, who no one knew when she appeared in the room.
With this, Victor would be more assured of Laraās safety⦠El although young, has more experience than Lara, and would be able to benefit her a lot and maybe help her avoid many schemesā¦. As for her betrayal, it was probably the effect of those guysā hypnosis and her youthā¦.. She would never do it again. He was sure of it.
Now, what shall he do with this trouble? He was not in the mood for interrogationā¦
āAlphaā¦. Take him to the mountain base with any survivors from the battle outsideā¦. and get your girls there too, then Give him to them⦠Let them use the wine on him⦠Be careful though⦠He has some hypnosis techniques. Consider this to be their training. I will want a good report in a week..⦠And we need to make the players tooā¦.ā He instructed as he took Klineās ring and treasuresā¦. He even took the cloak, this would be a good gift for Lily.
Alpha nodded, then tied Romer Kline before stuffing him in a body bag⦠Did she keep a lot of those in her ring? Maybe.
Victor sighed as he checked the status of the battle outsideā¦.
Intruders⦠20 Dead / Nine Captured.
Spies⦠All kept their distance.
Casualties? None⦠Noā¦Wait⦠Two chicks lost a few teeth andā¦. Why was Alex fighting in high heels? Did she just sprain her ankle?
