It was 1.00 PM when the room’s door opened all of a sudden, startling Micheal who hurried to put the magazine in his hand away as Mona entered followed by a smoking hot redhead girl in a luxurious red dress and high heels.
“Let’s go… Mother told me to take you out to check on the men,” Mona who seemed a little absent-minded said as the redhead unlocked the cell’s door.
“What about mom? What about our sisters?” Micheal asked keeping his eyes on the hot girl as he secretly inserted the magazine under his shirt, behind his pants while walking out. This one he found by chance in the corner of the cell, while he was searching for a way to escape. It seemed the previous occupier of this cell didn’t even like the big boobed slutty girl on the cover as the magazine was still in its shrink wrap.
“Mom will spend the night here with Mina and Mana… We will meet them tomorrow morning to go shopping,” Mona said then sighed.
“What’s wrong?” Micheal asked. “Did they do anything to you?” he asked, turning briefly to look at his sister before his eyes automatically returned to checking the hot girl.
“No… Nothing… Let’s go,“ Mona said.
“And this is?” Micheal turned to the pretty redhead.
“One of Victor’s wives…” Mona said hatefully. She always had a thing against men, and Victor ticked every box in her HATEFUL MEN list.
“My name is Margret,” the girl replied, extending her hand for a handshake.
“Hi... I am Micheal…” he said, shaking Margret’s hand. It felt very smooth.
“I already know your name… Now follow me. Victor doesn't like men loitering in his mansion after dark… Especially without a leash,” she said. “I was tasked to drive you back to your base, let’s go… I have many things to do other than driving you,” Margaret added as she let go of him then turned and headed to the door.
Micheal and Mona looked at each other and then quickly followed.
When they reached the ground floor, Michael couldn’t help but begin to look around. This mansion was really grand. His brother-in-law was very rich. Too bad it was already dark, and there were no maids working around.
“Stop looking around and hurry!” Mona scolded.
“Sorry…” Micheal said as he hurried followed after Margret. “Mrs. Margret… How did you meet Victor?” he asked, acting friendly and striking up a conversation.
“Oh… Well, I am a friend of Mina and Mana, so when they brought Victor to crash a friend’s birthday, we met,” Margret replied. “He was there, sitting with his handsome face, flaunting his riches for everyone to see… I couldn’t help but start hitting on him, and the rest is history!” she added.
“Can I ask you a personal question then?” Micheal asked again. Margret was very easy to talk with.
“Is it about my porn collection?” Margret stopped, turned then asked while raising one of her pretty eyebrows, making Mona almost curse at her for repeating Victor’s lame joke.
“Ah… No…” Michael replied. He was intrigued though. What kind of porn would this hot girl like?
“Then ask…” Margret replied as she turned and continued walking.
“How is it like marrying a man with many other wives?” he asked. Mona also looked at Margret. She wanted to know, not aware of her brother’s intentions.
“It's fine I guess… Victor might be very demanding in bed, but he is a very nice and kind guy who takes care of us all…“ she paused. “Although I have to share Victor's attention with a dozen girls I don’t mind. I married him for his money and influence after all… ” Margret shrugged.
“And you are fine telling us that?” Mona asked, a little surprised.
“Yup, why not… Everyone already knows this,” Margret said. “And there is nothing shameful about marrying a successful man! That’s what all women want!”
“His only success was getting born into the right family!” Mona couldn’t help but say, feeling offended for some reason. She had investigated Victor, and although there is not much info about him, the reports released by the tabloids all pointed out how useless and depraved he was.
That's why she hurried to save her sisters from him!
“Exactly… Many people spend 20 to 30 years to find success… He found it the moment he was born! Do you know how much money he and his family have? Those guys own a f*cking entire archipelago! They even have entire islands with their heirs to keep their women!” Margret said, telling part of the truth and making poor Micheal open his mouth wide. He wanted to be successful like that too…
“Really?” Mona squinted her eyes and asked.
“Yeah… I haven’t been there yet though…” Margret replied. “In fact, only women who give birth to an heir are allowed to be called wives in their family… Victor had to bend some rules, and carry a lot of favors to marry me and the others in that grand wedding and give us a wife's status!” she added emotionally as they reached the garage and flicked the light on, revealing rows and rows of luxurious cars.
“WAH!” Micheal explained. “Is that a white steed, a red FireRat, a Rhino Charger, a MLF Dodger, a Tiger Mega, a Bragatty Dog … No, Wait… That’s A WHITE DRAGONBREATH!” he exclaimed at the rows of luxurious cars. “Are those all Victor's?” he asked as he looked around fanatically, making Mona sigh. Her brother only loved three things. Women, Big boobed women, and cars.
Victor was right to not release Micheal until it was late at night. If his reaction was like this after seeing the cars, what would he feel seeing all Victor's pretty wives and maids?
“Technically Victor paid for them…” Margret replied. “But he doesn’t really care about collecting cars, he only collects girls you see…. So he usually uses that White Steed there. The rest were mostly bought and are used by me and sometimes by the girls when they are going out to shop…” she said as she reached the WHITE DRAGONBREATH which was the latest in her collection. Getting this baby was not easy, as it was a limited edition made of a military-grade alloy. She had to ask Victor very nicely to ask his family for it...
“Really? Doesn’t Victor mind you spending his money like this?” Micheal asked. He wondered if he could marry Victor too. No... Absolutely not... HE WAS A MAN!
“I told you… He is filthy rich. And It’s not like I got them easily. I had to work extra hard in bed for them!” she spat as she opened the car's suicide door and then got into the driver's seat. “Get in… Let’s take this baby for a ride…” she said.
…
“So… he made you players?” Vanessa asked in a surprise. For the last hour, she was sitting with the twins in one of the gardens surrounding Victor’s mansion.
She had been grilling them for their experience, and they really told her everything, including things that were beyond her wildest imagination.
Although it was late, neither she nor the twins felt sleepy. So they chose to hang out here and drink some tea while talking under the stars... There was no moon tonight.
“Um…” the twins who sat to her sides both nodded.
“I see…” Vanessa sighed. The information she spent her life to gain only glimpses of, was now laid bare in front of her.
“So if I need to become a player, I will need to conquer a dungeon or sell myself to one of the oligarchs…” she joked.
“Ahh… That’s the usual way, but there is another method…” Mina said.
“What?”
“Victor has a way… But he will also have restrictions, as he can’t reveal it easily…” Mina replied to what Victor told her back on the way home.
“Did he tell you to ask me that?” Vanessa was not stupid.
“Um… He wanted to offer you a chance to take your gang and join the power he is building… In return, He will turn you and 10 people of your choosing into players…” Mana explained.
“Oh… And if I refuse?” she asked. All young masters like to create their own powers, and Victor was not the first to ask her to join him, but he was the strongest and richest so far.
“Ah… He said that he would find someone regardless… And he will also make you a player for our sake…” Mina explained. “But he did say that this was the chance of a lifetime and that he suspects that the one who was behind father’s death was a player…”
“What?” Vanessa was surprised. “I already took care of that revenge…”
“Ah… Victor said that you caught the wrong guy. According to the info he got from his family, there was someone else moving things from the shadows… Father was a player after all…” Mina replied.
“WHAT?” Vanessa stood up in shock. It is true that she heard the term player the first time from her husband, but he refused to elaborate back then, and she never expected him to be one.
“Yes…” Mana hesitated then took out a file with a SUNRIZE logo and the words CONFIDENTIAL on it.
It was an old investigation into a suspected supernatural activity during a gang fight, and their father’s name with his photo as a young gangster before he inherited the boss’s mantle. He was mentioned as being spotted spitting fire at his enemies.
“Mother… There is one piece of information that Victor couldn’t find… What family did Father belong to?” Mana asked.
“Call me MOM… Mother is too formal!” Vanessa scolded. “And the truth is I don’t know. I found him one day with memory loss, so I took him in and took care of him. The next thing I knew was him inheriting my father’s mantle and marrying me… That’s why he took our family name,” she sighed, her late husband was a real stud. “Do you think his past has anything to do with his death?”
“Probably… Victor already asked his men to start searching for information, but our DNA doesn’t match any of the known families in the database, so he is not sure…” Mina explained making Vanessa frown.
Maybe she must really consider Victor's offer. She really wanted to go and ask him a few things at the moment, but that guy already took his wives to bed after dinner while showing off in front of her, she had to wait until the morning.
…
“Wake up beauty… We have work to do…”
Rita slowly opened her eyes and looked around after hearing Victor’s voice.
“Is it time?” she asked as she sat up. “Didn’t you want to wait for another week?”
“A variable was added… We need to act fast to make maximum use of it,” Victor replied mysteriously, sounding a little hesitant. “Did they finish their night check on you?”
“Yes… No one will bother me until the morning…” she said pointing to the corpse of her last meal. They have been providing her with all kinds of animals to butcher and pretend to relish in their demise, scaring the guards away in the process with scary laughs.
She had to play along.
If not for Victor’s disgusting energy bars she would have literally starved to death.
“Didn’t they bring you humans to eat?” Victor asked.
“They did bring some prisoners, but I refused saying that eating human souls might cause this body to explode ……” she said, sticking her tongue. “That’s why they keep bringing me those animals…”
“Good…Smart move…” Victor said. “Now, let’s get to work! Reach out for the storage space and take out the things it prepared for you…”
“Storage space?”
“Yes, it is one of my skills, so we share the same space and can transfer stuff between us… Come on now…” he said.
Rita frowned and tried to feel the space inside of her like she did a storage ring, and sure enough, it was there.
Inside there were a few things.
A sneaking suit, a strange box, a stack of talismans, a necklace, and a red shiny gem that looked like a bloody moon.
“Leave the moon gem for now, take the talismans, and place them around your room. They will create an illusion that you are still here!” Victor said. “There are two security cameras in this room, I will use my power to disguise you temporarily, but keeping an image through you is tiresome so hurry up and start placing the talismans so that we can move to the next step!”
“I understand…” Rita nodded and then began to place the talismans around the room. She finished in 5 minutes.
“Good…” Victor said. “Now, wear the demon bat sneaking suit, place one invisibility talisman on you just in case, and wear the levitation necklace, it will help you float off the ground, so as to not trip any pressure traps… You will be moving under my disguise technique, so in principle, they will not be able to feel you, but be careful not to touch anything…” he said.
“But the door is locked?” Rita said.
“Don’t worry about such stupid details, we are going through the walls… The most important thing now is to find out your location exactly so we can do this quickly!”
“Ahh… Ok…” Rita nodded and quickly prepared herself. Feeling a little shy changing her clothes while knowing that Victor was watching with a grin… Yes, that Pervert was definitely grinning.
I guess this settles the question of whether Axel is the triplets half brother tlfrom his father's brother. (The DNA test percentage conversation)
Also, it looks like Victor is going to use artifact on his MIL instead of his skill. Maybe this is because he doesn't want her and her people to know he has the skill? Maybe it is because he wants to "mark" the artifact or observe its process and requirements, like getting the ID so he can use admin mode like with Rita, before turning it over to his family?
What artifact? Remind me plz.
@Duskuro the one Rita is about to steal from the Von Zwei.
@KONASBUD Right. Probably admin mode that sh*t right? Make them sign a contract to stfu about why they get so many points from the artifact and use it on them at maximum amount of points.
@Duskuro
If it works anything like the last artifact, it'll probably be different but have a similar function, he would need to see the thing work to get the ID, then use that ID the next time to log in as the admin. I say admin because he is basically disguised as the device itself.
I was thinking he would use it on Vanessa and/or her lackeys before turning it over to the family because, as long as he is present at the ceremony he should be able to control the results. When Lara has her ceremony she'd probably get max results anyway but let's just say it would be extra safe. And just like with Carlos he could kill off traitors right in front of everyone with no one the wiser.
Or he could just limit the opposing factions' heirs and servants to semi-player player status. It hasn't been mentioned in a while but the number of player sons dictates status with in the family. I'm sure accomplishments matter too, but player sons was specifically mentioned. Anyway, if he systematically kills and limits the awakening of their decendants that would help limit the influence to opposition that he doesn't specifically plan on killing.
It seems like he already has a plan to kill Luke and John, but killing them at the ceremony could be effective, especially for Luke the one who ruined his ceremony.
@KONASBUD Which one was the idiot who inadvertently ended up helping Victor pull off the UNDERFLOW Authority bug? Luke? Hmm... Well it is best to kill off his half brothers in the end. Trash brainwashed by their trash mothers. There's no real salvaging them. Unless he enslaves them like he did Rita but I don't think its worth the effort. Nor the blood slave slots. Those are for scions and the like.
@Duskuro
His brothers tormented him in the past timeline and would in this one if given the chance, they also intentionally tried to kill him and Lara. Victor told Lily that all of his half-brothers are his enemies.
Luke placed the rune on him, and is the one that got sent to the mine. He is the youngest of the 1st Mother, Max, Rex then Luke. John is the son of the 3rd mother, he just seems to antagonize Victor so far this life, but was supposedly instrumental in the scheme that ruined him in the last one. He may have a chance to suffer a bit and survive, but I highly doubt it.
I highly doubt he'll enslave them. Victor does have a habit of enslaving "enemies" but these are people who would bring him great benefit or never directly caused him harm. For those who directly/intentionally caused him harm he's more of a just get rid of the problem completely type. Its just hard to realize it because he saves so many of them for later. But that is supposedly to set things up to best benefit him.
@KONASBUD Mhm. Sucks to be Theodore but even he has to admit that aside from Elena's kids nearly all of his children from his other wives are trash. Exceptions would be Luna's unborn child (probably going to be another half sister), that sister whose name I forgot who had a bit*h of a mother who was killed in a demon contract, and that's about it? Speaking of trash Victor is going to dispose of there is that half brother working for the dark chamber. Least I think he is a half brother. Anyways throw them all into a blender and extract their bloodlines and feed it to Luna's kid. The unawakened could always use a bloodline boost.
@Duskuro
When he was talking about his half brothers he was specifically talking about Ted's legitimate children. He has hundreds if not thousands of illegitimate half siblings that aren't enemies.
I don't know who you are refering to working for the Dark Chamber. Axel isn't really working for them as much as he is their patsy/pawn, but yeah he's got to go, preferably next chapter, unfortunately I think we are cursed to be stuck with that character and that plotline for quite a while. Max is suspected to be working for the Chamber, but we haven't seen much in that respect.
In war, my allies are my best weapons, my enemies are my greatest weapons, myself is the ultimate weapon.
One question is can he use that authority and update the system the artifact creates.
There's also the fun with half siblings that are currently unknown, if the twins father lost his memories and according to their mom was quite the stud, do they have any half siblings out there.
@Grey_Hat
I don't think he would. If he is giving it to the family, updating the system would just make forces he doesn't directly control more powerful than his own. Plus it would end up creating more questions than he'd probably want them asking.
Being that he wouldn't want when to have the updated system quite yet, he probably wouldn't even try to update it.
@KONASBUD Hm... It has been a week since the last update eh. My mind keeps telling me to check the novel to see if there is an update out yet or not. :p
What dna test percentage conversation? what is MIL?
What if there is a real person behind every artifact in other world?
Victor never told Lily anything about his half brothers. Maybe he did , but author edited it later.
@Vikass17 mother in law
@Vikass17
Chapter 109
“No, this is just the beginning. Remember this, all my half-brothers and step-mothers are my enemies. Never trust them.”
@KONASBUD sorry I got confused in lily and Lara. So many similar names .
"I guess this settles the question of whether Axel is the triplets half brother tlfrom his father's brother."
Above line is too confusing. You need to work on your writing skills.
@Vikass17 you need to work on your comprehension skills.
