After a very lively meal, Victor and Margret went upstairs to the guests' suite Mike prepared for them⊠It was already 5.00 PM
Alex was waiting for them there with a wrinkled maid suit and aggrieved eyes, which Margret totally ignored as she closed the door and faced Victor.
âWhy do I get the feeling that all of your brotherâs wives are hookers? Is he making them act like that on purpose?â She had to ask, although the meal was very harmonious, and the girls were very nice. The way they talked and flirted with Mike gave Margret a very disturbing image.
â I told you before. He likes sluts. All of them are former hookers. Thatâs why father couldnât let him marry Nova or Linda.â Victor said as he sat down on a leather couch rubbing his belly. His sisters-in-law really pampered him today⊠The same as in his previous life.
Those girls were a real treasure. Mike had a really unique taste. They were very conscious of their inappropriate origins so they always tried hard to be the best. They didnât want anyone to criticize their husband.
âDoes everyone in your family have such weird hobbies?â Margret asked,
âEveryone has his circumstances. The story goes that when Mike was a kid he sneaked with his friend to watch a movie. It was about a handsome rich man who fell in love with a hooker. It was a story about how the rich man left his evil fiance for that hooker⊠Something along these lines.â Victor said, â I donât know what happened to Mike after leaving the island⊠But I remember my mother cursing when he announced that he will be taking some hooker as his first wife a year later.â Victor explained,
âOh⊠Is that sister of yours, Alice, the same?â Margret inquired. Was being perverts something in their blood? She has noticed that Elena, when she was staying with Victor, always avoided mentioning Alice.
âAlice is the nicest girl in the world.â Victor shook his head, âBut she also has her circumstances. Donât believe any bad rumors about her.â He didnât explain any further.
âI seeâŠâ Margret said nothing as she sat on another chair and relaxed, âWhat now?â She asked,
âDo whatever you want⊠Go shopping or something⊠I have important things to do.â Victor said, then turned to Alex,
âAre you ready?â He asked her.
âFor what?â Alex asked, she was ready for some things, but not for others. So she didnât dare to say yes.
âDid you forget? I told you yesterday. You will be taking my place from now on!â Victor said. âNow go change into the spare purple suit in the bag.â He said.
Alex nodded, then headed into the other room then returned 5 minutes later dressed in Victorâs clothes which looked ridiculous on her.
âGood,â Victor said, then activated his skill, making Margret look in amusement as Alex turned into a Victor clone again.
âFrom now on you must act like me.â Victor said, âI am counting on you⊠My future is counting on you!â
âI understand,â Alex nodded, âwhat should I do?â She asked,
âHalf an hour later, go downstairs and tell the butler that you will be going for a trip around town⊠Go alone, ask for Ron to drive you, he should be in the guards' booth outsideâŠ. Oh, and donât let Mike see you when you leave, he might suspect somethingâŠâ Victor said, making Alex nod, although she didnât meet Mike yet, she had seen his statue. She would be able to recognize him.
âThen what?â She asked,
âGo to a brothel, The Red Cow. It is the biggest around here.â Victor said, making her frown, âInside I want you to act exactly as I did back in Golden Waterfall BrothelâŠ. You remember how I acted right?â Victor asked, the now nervous Alex.
âI remember.â Alex nodded as Margret perked her ears listening to their conversation. This was getting interesting.
âThere, in the brothel, you have to be as arrogant and demanding as possible. You must act as a decisive man who was there on purpose! Remember, you must make an everlasting impression on both the guests and the employees!â Victor said seriously. âBut at the same time, make sure to keep things under wraps, donât go overboard, or get into any fight that might alert the police or the press.â
âI understandâŠâ Alex said, frowning a little.
âAfter that, Just Like you did the last time, make sure to spend the night there. Make the girls there remember it as the best night of their lives⊠Donât ruin my reputation.â Victor said as he suppressed his smile watching Alexâs face change color several times in a few seconds.
âYoung masterâŠ.Can you say that againâŠ.â She asked,
âGo enjoy your night acting as me! Is it that difficult?â Victor scolded, âYou can only leave in the morning. And be sure to do that in a very oppressive way, like a triumphant warrior! You can use the soul wine on the girls though if you were not that confident about your performance. Just make sure that the girls canât walk home in the morning. Reputation is everything for an aspiring young master like me!â Victor repeated.
Alex remained silent. Wondering if she should be using her spear again.
Margret on the other hand was about to burst out laughing. She has finally realized why Victor ordered her to leave the toys with Alex who would definitely need them. She wanted to ask about what happened in the Golden waterfall town brothel though, she felt that it would be a very interesting story.
âDo you understand?â Vector asked again.
âYesâŠâ Alex hesitated.
âI will meet you tomorrow when you leave the brothel, We will make the switch back then⊠I will call you in the morning.â Victor said again.
âI⊠I understandâŠ.â Alex said,
âNow, go rehearse in front of the mirror, this young master has to meditate,â Victor said, closing his eyes to begin his daily check on his own toys.
âŠ
Lily closed her eyes and slid down relaxing in the big sauna as the girls around her relaxed too.
They have built this place in the pub's basement to let their future agent undergo healing baths, but they didnât mind testing them out first.
Although this place was hastily built and not as luxurious as the grand bath at Victorâs mansion, it was not bad at all!
âWhere is that brat?â Sky asked.
âI tied him up upstairs⊠I told him that it is a kind of trainingâŠâ Nora chuckled as she relaxed.
Yin, who was still in shock after learning that Players and Spider boys were real, was dragged here with them, where she was shocked again, not only by Lilyâs beauty but by the number of scars on her and her sisterâs bodies. The girlâs scars were visible, but the ones on Lilyâs skin, although many, were very light, barely noticeable as if they were healing.
âThose were caused by our trainingâŠâ Cora said proudly after witnessing Yinâs shock, âEnjoy them as they last. Soon they will disappear like the oneâs on Lily. and our skin will be silky smooth.â She added,
âIt's all due to these weird algae that the young master made us rub our skin with. Itâs very effective.â Eva said, taking a jar and beginning to spread it evenly on an ugly scar on her arm. âThis one was a punishment for not being fast enoughâŠâ She said,
âThey began marketing this stuff. last week. Itâs very expensiveâ Lily said, opening her eyes, then glancing at Yin, who kept her towel around her body. âCome into the water, we will not eat you.â She said,
Yin hesitated, making Nora drag her in and throw the towel away, revealing a body full of scars. She looked worse than the assassin girls. Those scars were really evil, whoever made them made sure that they canât be visible from over the clothes.
âHaaa,â The girl gasped, âWho did this to you?â Eve asked. She had read in Yinâs court file.
Yin was living in an abusive family. But they didnât expect it to be to this degree⊠No wonder she killed all of them and burnt their bodies!
Wait, thatâs not OK. There were triplet babies in her family, she killed those too. This girl was clearly a maniac. Eve reminded herself.
Yin hesitated again as she sank into the water, it took her five minutes to speak.
âThe police didnât believe me back thenâŠâ She said, âMaybe you would.â She said after remembering what Lily told her about players.
âIt depends, but we have seen some really crazy sh*t last week,â Gwen interjected. Making Yin take a deep breath and decide to tell her story again.
âMy familyâŠ. They were demons.â Yin said, making the girls frown. Lily on the other hand looked at Yin with inspecting eyes.
âHow do you know that?â She asked, looking at Nora who quickly went out of the water and grabbed her phone,
âYour family was composed of two parents and four children. An older brother and three tripletsâŠâ She said reading the report. making Yin shake a little.
â... I just knew⊠â She said, thinking, âThey were normalâŠ. Then one day they went out on a hiking trip⊠They didnât take me because I had a cold that nightâŠâ She said,
âThey returned changed? Even the triplets?â Lily asked,
âUm⊠The babies were not born yet. My mother was pregnant at that timeâŠâ Yin explained.
âTell me the story from the beginning?â Lily who moved and sat next to Yin asked softly,
âIt was after school. My uncle called me that day saying that my family had an accident and were hospitalized. He took me to see themâŠâ She said, âThey didnât recognize me⊠and they were speaking in a wired accent as if they were trying to speak a foreign language.â She added, âThe doctors said that they injured their heads,â She added,
âThen?â Lily asked,
âThey returned home after an entire monthâŠ. My mother had given birth by that time⊠I was really happyâŠ.â She said, âThey were acting normal again⊠but⊠somehow after a few days I noticed that they were acting a little strange⊠Father was always brooding. Mother was a little jittery. My brother always walked funny and howled in pain when the sun rose every morning⊠The babies were the creepiest. It was like they were always talking to each other in some gibberish language⊠Their eyes would always follow me whenever I enter the room.â She said, taking a deep breath, âI was beginning to think that I was the one going crazy, but then I discovered itâŠâ
âWhat?â Nora, who didnât like Yin before, was now holding her hand with tears in her eyes.
â...IâŠ. ItâŠ. I found it by chance in the refrigerator⊠It was a human head⊠The head of a missing boy that I saw in the news the previous day.â She said, âThey were eating humansâŠ. I confirmed that later⊠each time a kid disappeared in the neighborhood, they brought new meat homeâŠâ
âWhat!â The girls asked in surprise. This was getting very dark!
âEven the babies would only drink their milk if it had meat in it⊠At first, I felt it was strange as mother said that this was better for them, but after knowing the meatâs originâŠâ She paused.
âThey left you there all this time? Living with them?â Lily asked,
âI didnât know why, maybe they didn't want anyone to suspect themâŠ. Thatâs what I thought..â She said,
âSo you tried to escape?â Lily asked again.
âYes, it was right after I confirmed my suspicion⊠But the man who looked like my father caught meâŠ. He took me to the basementâŠ.â She said as tears fell from her eyes⊠âI donât know why, but he tied me up and began hitting meâŠâ she added, grabbing her scarred body.
âIn the morning he would drive me to school like everything was normalâŠIn the evening he will torture meâŠ.â She added, âEvery time I tried to escape they caught meâŠ. I asked a teacher for help⊠but she ended up in my next breakfast....â She said, She was shivering now, making Lily hug her. â I tried alerting the police, but they ignored me⊠And when one showed up he smiled at father and ratted me out. It was on that day that it all happenedâŠ. After that man whipped me in the basement.â
âHow did you escape?â Nora asked,
âI didnât!â
She said that after a pause, making the girls freeze and look at her carefully. Making sure that she was not a ghost
âI didnât escape. I fought.â She explained, squeezing her little hand. And making the girls sigh in relief. She really scared them.
âI⊠I always had hoped that they were my real parents, but on that day after getting beaten up, that man was called in a hurry so he forgot to tie me up. I crawled out of the basement, trying to escape again. Thatâs when I heard him, the one who was supposed to be my big brother. He was complaining that his body was very inconvenient due to a problem with the transfer. And that father should end his little game and hurry up to completely break my soul and prepare my body for him to takeâŠâ She said,
âThey were talking in the common language?â Lily asked,
âYes⊠The three babies seem to be able to talk among themselves but the other had to communicate normally.â She said,
âThen?â Sky asked,
âI returned to the basement and hid, then that night, I sneaked into the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and used some of the sleeping pills my mother used to take⊠I put them in the meat they brought that dayâŠ. They always ate to their full in the morning. â She stopped talking as she looked down.
âThatâs when you cut them up and burnt the house?â Lily asked,
âUmâŠ" She just nodded not wanting to explain any further. "Do you believe me?â Yin said as she began to cry involuntarily. No one believed her after she escaped, no matter how many people she told. They all cursed at her calling her a psycho.
âI believe youâŠ.â Lily and the girls said one by one.
âAlthough I canât explain anything of what you told me, I am sure my young master can,â Lily said, patting Yin's head after she stopped crying.
âDidnât the young master demand that we keep his identity a secret?â Cora asked,
âI will make an exception for YinâŠâ Lily said. If Yin was lying, she would be a hidden danger, and Victor would easily know. On the other hand, if she was telling the truth, he would be able to tell them about these demons. And they might be able to help the poor girl.
Victor knew everything after all.
