After breakfast Victor had a brief discussion with his father, where he requested some documentation for lily, so Theodore Ordered George to prepare them immediately,
After everything was ready, Victor left the house after saying goodbye to his father, who only seemed to be interested in giving Lily a goodbye hug. It’s not that he still has thoughts about her, but with her bloodline and talent, she was the perfect daughter-in-law.
He wants to see her give birth to his grandchildren fast. If they also turned up to be as talented as their parents, His rank in the family would become even higher.
This made Victor suddenly remember something very important, He quickly went back into the house and talked to one of the maids, then returned with a veil and handed it to the astonished Lily,
“Cover your mouth with this. Your beauty is going to cause me a lot of problems.” He said in an annoyed voice, but Lily, who quickly put on the veil while smiling, knew that he was very jealous and protective of her. But the veil was barely able to hide her beauty, as even with only her eyes showing, Lily was still a charmer.
He could only sigh, his target was to live as a low-key young master, but with such beauty, at his side, that will be much harder.
…
It was noon when the black luxurious car stopped at the airport. This airport was built on an artificial island, near the coast of the central island, it was the only official way in and out of the archipelago.
They did not have to wait for long to board the plane as it was a private jet, and they seemed to be the only passengers, as the allocations of the awakened players will not be over in a few days, so the others can’t leave here yet.
The beautiful flight attendants welcomed them and led each of them to a wide comfy chair to sit on, these chairs are so different from the ones in commercial planes, here each chair is so wild, you can squeeze in it three people if you tried.
And after fastening their seat belts The plane shortly took off on time.
Sitting on the comfortable chair, Victor could not help but yawn, he only slept for 5 hours last night. Then he looked at lily who was having difficulty keeping her eyes open, she slept even less than him, so he quickly stood up, took a blanket, and walked over to Lily’s seat.
Then to her and the flight attendants surprise he sat with her in the same chair and then put the blanket on both of them, then said
“I didn’t sleep enough last night, and I need a good pillow so I will use you,” He said to the astonished Lily.
Her young master is reaching new levels of shamelessness. She looked at the flight attendants who had strange look in their eyes,
“What are you all looking at. If any of you dares to disturb my Young master’s sleep I will kill her.” She warned, she sounded stern but in fact, she was hiding her shyness.
“You should sleep too, this is an order,” Victor told her, “If I wake up to find that you are not asleep, I will punish you again.” He said, and with that, he reclined the chair then put his head on Lily’s shoulder and dozed off.”
Poor Lily did learn her lesson the hard way. So she followed her young master’s command and went to sleep immediately after giving the pretty attendants a threatening look.
...
It was 6.00 PM when Victor woke up, and to his surprise, the situation between him and Lily has reversed, now his head is resting on the seat’s headrest, while Lily’s head was on his shoulder.
Feeling Lily’s relaxed breath,
“It seems she was really tired,” He thought, So he did not disturb her and looked around the cabin for some flight attendant to molest but to his disappointment, he found none and the cabin was empty, apparently Lily scared them away.
“Too bad,” he thought, he wanted to flirt with some of them,
“Well, Lily will have to be punished again it seems.”
He waited in silence for half an hour, using it to think about his next move.
Vein city, a place full of memories. Back then, He had to take this plane with ten others. And it was not a happy trip. The others kept taunting him, they were probably following someone's order. He will get his revenge, But it is not the right time yet, he was still too weak.
His enemy was still not that strong at this time, but the forces behind him are. So he will have to blind them and act in the shadows.
His first step would be to take care of their agent in Vein City, His enemy, His cousin.
But that will have to wait until school starts, as there would be a chance for a hidden attack then. But he will need some preparations.
He did hear of a dungeon that was discovered shortly after he arrived there. Maybe he can use it to level up a little and find some treasures that can help at the same time.
Suddenly the lights in the cabin turned on Automatically. It seems we are going to land soon, so he closed his eyes pretending to be asleep.
As in this moment, Lily opened her beautiful eyes and discovered, to her dismay, that her head was on her young master’s shoulder, first, she blushed, but then she panicked. what if the young master got angry, so she slowly raised her head and looked around making sure there was no one in the cabin, then slowly adjusted herself so that Victor’s head naturally fell onto her.
Victor played along and his head fell again onto Lily’s shoulder. so she breathed a sigh of relief, but this relief did not last, as in the next moment she heard her young master mocking voice.
“Did you really think you can trick me?” Victor asked while keeping his head on her shoulder.
“Sorry young master, I did not intend to disturb you,” Lily said in shame.
“I am not disturbed. We will probably be landing soon” Victor raised his head then looked Lily in the eyes.
“She seems to have rested well.” he thought, as her eyes are no longer bloodshot.
So he stood up and started to stretch his limbs while watching Lily tidy up the blanket with a smile on her face.
“She thought she got away with it.” he thought with an evil smile,
Before Victor could implement his evil thoughts, the captain’s voice came through the internal speakers, requesting the passengers to return to their seats and fasten their seat belts, as the plan was about to land.
Through the window, the sparkling lights of Vein city could be seen.
Vain City…Vein City…Vain City…Vein City…
Choose one name and stick with it.
Thanks for the chapter.
The veil solution is a bit childish as wearing one is really eye-catching even more so for a maid (her most likely official role) in a *look there, here is a secret* kind of way. Furthermore, she supposedly has training as an assassin : she probably learnt already how to hide/disguise herself or her presence in a much smoother way
aww dammit, now that point about disguise is gonna poke my mind randomly as I read this story further down the chapters lol.
Its the chinese way. Its meant to be 30x more noticeable compared to the no-veil approach
Im not sure i support his decision on having a merchant class over one that brings actual power. I know that would be cliché to write about but it's the most logical thing to do. The only power you can always rely on is your own. No amount of money or subordinates are gonna be able to save him when he stands alone. Hopefully he gets more than just a powerful shop.
His class is not a merchant, this one is a disguise.
As others have said earlier "All schemes and tricks are meaningless in the face of Absolute strength". Given the little we know of the one who tried to kill him and his entire family. You could at least infer that he has an heaven defying skill and power in order to annihilate an Ancient Faction with hundreds of years of foundation. An ultra genius for being able to do it in a few decades. And with that of course, the equal amount or even greater amount of luck to pave way for several opportunities to make him above all the others. Based on this chapter and earlier ones as well, looks like at least he have the same level of backing that our MC does. If you add all of that up, that practically is a template for a typical action story MC. One looking blessed by the heaven's themselves. Furthermore, not your 'Weak to Strong' one type at that. But the 'Strong from the Start one' .
And in order for you to crush someone like that, you need an unorthodox way to do it. Because if it was not already clearly stated or could be understood for what I said earlier. Direct approach isn't possible with all those factors combined. Given he has all, if not most, aspects like stats and key elements like backer at least at the same level with most being greater than MC. Greater innate skill given how sh*tty the MC's martial and mystery talent is. He can't compete through pure power and skill. So he need a roundabout way to do it. Like what he actually did. Get system level admin access to get hands on unconventional skills in order to one up him. To better utilise the system's loopholes and bugs by having an admin level identification, merchant abilities, absolute binding contract for guarantees, etc. That is the way he could do it.
There's only so much advantage an information could give you. It's more on how to better utilise it and use if effectively will matter more. Because you don't fight a brick with brick head on if you have other choice. Fight it with something much harder than it or something it is vulnerable at. And if there's nothing much harder than it or it is vulnerable with. Then try and exploit the rules of the game to beat him at it. Work smart, not hard. Why fight someone clearly better at you in every possible way head on in his specialised field? No! You choose an option wherein you'll force him to go on your own field, on your own rules, etc. That's how you beat a previously impossible enemy.
Also simple analogy. If you have an genius enemy and he works as hard as you plus with the same luck or greater. No future information would help you because you're already behind at first. Then the longer it gets, the farther you got left behind even more. With every opportunity you get, he have one as well. You work 3x harder while he works 1.5x but still always comes out better. What more if he works 3x as well. As Thanos said, someone like that is "inevitable". So again as said earlier, you need to find some other way he's not good at. Do not fight him head on. Only will you have the chance of beating him. What more if you want to crush him as well? Make him feel even greater despair and pain that you did? You need to take risks. Gambles. Unconventional paths, etc. for it to happen.
Feels like I'm reading a RR comment lol
@SorrowGrim I do read some stories there from time to time.
@Number13th mc could chose any skill , so he should know about his enemies skill from past .
