The Young Master in the Shadows

Chapter 248: What did I do now?

Yin watched nervously as the plane landed. Although it was her first time at an airport, she knew enough to realize that her mistress Lily was some real big shot as they didn’t have to pass through security and directly headed to the airway where a private jet had just landed.

They left the newly established assassin's guild this morning and took a roundabout way until they reached here.

Yin could still freshly remember Malcolm's face as he begged Lily to take him with her too. He only got his ass kicked as an answer… Serves him right, what a pervert. Although she couldn't tell why, Yin really didn’t like that guy.

“Let’s go…” Lily told her as he hurried inside the plane as soon as its airstair was lowered.

Yin hesitated for a second then quickly followed Lily inside where to her surprise, her usually cold mistress jumped into the embrace of a young man and started hugging him like an octopus. She didn’t even give him the chance to stand up from his seat as she pushed him down and kissed his lips like a drowning man gasping for air.

“This way please…” A smiling flight attendant kindly told Yin as she gestured to her to sit in a nearby seat. She was obviously trying her best to ignore the mating ritual happening behind her.

Yin nodded in thanks then took a reversed seat, one from which she would be able to survey the entire plane.

The flight attendant quickly helped her tie her safety belt. “If you need anything just call for me,” she said nicely then left.

Yin nodded, she relaxed in the comfy leather seat and began to inspect the plane’s passenger carefully… trying to ignore her mistress’s actions.

Firstly there was that sorry maid who was definitely a guy. He was sitting in a weird way at the back of the cabinet with tears in her…no, his eyes. He was slowly rubbing his butt while silently cursing.

Next was a red-haired girl who was pouting as she watched the couples making out to her side… Strangely, she reminded Yin of one of her classmates. A slut…

Finally, a handsome young man. He was busy being hugged and kissed by mistress Lily. He was seemingly enjoying his time, she could tell from the perverted smile on his handsome face.

Wait!… wasn’t that guy the same pervert who was on TV yesterday declaring that he would marry two wives? Wasn’t he the same guy her mistress was cursing at this morning as she watched the video of him saving those old ladies?

Her mistress was whispering something in his ear. Thankfully the plane was silent enough that Yin could make out some words.

“...I will try hard to keep my beauty when I grow old…”

Apparently, those words really ruined that young master’s good mood. Yin could tell that from the way he pinched her mistress's butt… That made her hug him tighter… Was this the same mistress who was acting all cold and mighty for the last couple of days? She was no different from a b*tch in heat!

…

“Miss, can you take a seat? The jet will take off in a few minutes…” A flight attendant suddenly asked Lily politely after clearing her throat. She was trying hard to appear as serious as possible. She was really wondering what was wrong with this batch of passengers. She had seen a lot of maniacs but those were on a totally different level… She shouldn’t have accepted the job offer to work on this private jet. She should have known that a high salary could not be earned easily.

“No, I am fine here!” Lily said, continuing to hug Victor. She really missed him… and he smelled like grannies. She needed to erase that smell!

“Go to your seat… We have to discuss some things,” Victor finally ordered, making the annoyed Lily obey reluctantly. She slowly stepped away from him and then sat on the opposite seat.

The flight attendant finally sighed in relief and quickly went to her seat as the jet began to take off.

“Who is this?” Victor firstly asked, carefully inspecting the nervous Yin who turned to look out of the window to hide her blush… She didn’t like him, but he was too damn hot!

“This is Yin, she works for me,” Lily said, she was pouting now. “She has an interesting story that I thought you might want to hear,” she added.

Victor nodded and activated his inspection skill.

Good, not another Scion...

“We will talk about her later…” Victor said as he looked back at Lily, “Why did you use the explosion array?” he had to ask. The families were surely beginning to investigate that nuclear explosion. Although they would find nothing, he didn’t want to be under suspicion.

“Ah… It’s like this….” Lily who was nervously playing with her slender finger, quickly began to tell him what happened at Troy’s Mansion.

Yin tried to listen in to their conversation but strangely enough, she could hear nothing, it was as if they were reading each other’s lips… She could understand some words, like demons and explosions…

“Oh… Demonification…. You did the right thing.” Victor said at last. If demons really escaped that place, the wedding would definitely be delayed. “Did you get the data?” he asked.

“Yup!” Lily said, giving him a flash drive which he quickly stored in his ring as if this was something he really wanted. This made him get a better understanding of the relationship between the Von Zwei family and Troy. In his past life, Troy must have been one of their pieces.

Now with Archi becoming the main heir of the Wiren family, this chess piece has changed hands… And the demonification data was really precious, if he combined it with the knowledge he had from the future, he might be able to do something cool. He had that dragon egg after all…

“I will review this after we finish with the dungeon…”

“What dungeon?”

“The academy went dungeon hunting without us… We will discuss it on our way there. Now, about this girl.” Victor asked, looking at Yin who got a little nervous.

“Well… This is her file,” Lily gave Yin’s data to Victor who slowly skimmed through it.

“Interesting…” He said after finishing, inspecting Yin again from head to toe.

“Yin… Come tell the young master the story you told me…” Lily said while putting her hand on the seat next to her, ordering Yin to come to sit beside her.

Yin slowly obeyed… although she was nervous, she was able to calmly sit down and then tell Victor what she told Lily that day. About how her parents were demons and how she… burnt them.

She kept nervously looking at her feet though, Victor’s charm was too much for this little girl. She was wondering if he would believe her… Her thoughts were all over the place.

“I see,” Victor said as he relaxed in his seat, “Do you know where your family went on vacation?” he asked.

“Ah… Summer dream Island,” she answered, raising her head slowly to look him in the eye… she can at least look at him now.

“Summer dream… In the southern sea… I see,” he pondered as he looked out of the jet’s window. This island was a part of a group of separated islands that acted as one country. It was a known tourist attraction. Those islands were also the location of one of the demon's bases that appeared straight after the reckoning… He didn’t expect that place to be infested this early….. That reminded him of some things too, there is a ruin near there, not a big one but it had a few skeletal jade keys. Maybe he should take the girls there to play a little and exterminate some demons.

“Were they really demons? Did they kill Yin’s parents and take their place?” Lily suddenly asked as Margret, who was also listening with interest, squinted her eyes.

“No… They just possessed them and devoured their souls… Like that thing that tried to attack Theta before,“ he said,

“Oh…” Lily nodded, he reminded her of the incident when he went into a coma.

Victor sighed again as he looked back at Yin.

“You did good… Very good. From what you told me, I can infer that the only reason they kept you alive was that one of them had problems with his body, maybe the possession was not performed correctly. They needed a replacement body… They probably also didn’t want to attract unwanted attention by killing you… I can’t really tell,” Victor said.

“Then…. They were my real parents?” Yin opened her eyes wide and asked as she shook. She always thought that they were imposters!

“They were the corpses of your parents… The real ones were already long dead,” he said softly as he left his seat then kneeled in front of her, looking deeply into her eyes, “You did well by giving them a funeral."

“Um…” Her eyes began to well with tears. She was a little girl after all.

“Do you want a chance for revenge?” he suddenly asked her after a few minutes.

“Yes!” she said directly, looking him straight in the eye without flinching.

“You will not regret it?” he asked.

“Never…” she didn’t waver.

“Do you know what a player is?” he asked, intending to begin a lengthy explanation…

“I have already briefed her,” Lily said as Yin nodded.

“Good! Then I will make you a player!” he said, watching her hesitate for a second and then nod. She also wanted to be as strong as that spider boy who fought the mantis on TV! Lily had told her that he was a player.

“Alex, get your sorry ass here!” Victor suddenly turned to the back and yelled, making Alex who was relaxing at the back of the cabinet flinch.

“What did I do now?” she wailed in a miserable tone... Victor didn't keep his hand earlier. It was as if he had some grudge against her butt! What did it ever do to him?

“Just come here… It’s a reward this time,” he said, smirking like an old man fooling a little girl.

“What if I don’t want it….”

“That’s not an option!”

“Ohh…” Alex said as she stood up slowly… She had a feeling that he was fooling her. But she didn’t dare to disobey.

Victor chuckled before looking at the nervous flight attendant. “Go out and lock the cabin’s door. You can only return after 60 Minutes,” he ordered.

The flight attendant who was expecting an orgy to happen an hour ago quickly nodded and escaped after throwing Yin a pitiful look. They didn’t even spare this little girl! She would definitely report them after they have landed, even if this would get her fired!

As soon as the cabin’s door was closed. Victor looked at the girls and Alex who was now standing nervously next to Victor’s seat.

“Listen, I will now turn Yin into a layer using a talisman.” He explained taking out one of the two awakening talismans he was left with.

“Would this affect us? We are already players!” Margret asked.

“This would only turn one person into a player, but if you are close enough it would upgrade your system to be better,” he said, “Like what happened to me and Theta.”

“Why the hurry? We could wait…” Lily asked. They could wait until they get into the mansion where all of the girls could benefit.

“No, the talisman’s effect is less than one foot, so the three of you will really have to hug Yin really tight,” Victor, who knew what she was thinking about, explained.

“Ohh…”

“Come on now, time is important here, classes are usually granted depending on people's experiences. The older the incident, the exponentially weaker its effect on the player’s class would be!” he said looking at Yin who didn’t understand. “I want you to get a demon-exterminating power, so listen up. Whatever you feel in the next few minutes I want you to think of only one thing. How you killed those demons in your house… Your unwavering will to exterminate them!” he said. He was really hoping that she would get some demon extermination class. Those were very rare and only began to appear after one generation of the reckoning when demons were infesting the world.

Hopefully, her latest experience as an assassin under Lily’s hands would not ruin her chances.

Yin nodded nervously as she felt the girls and Alex hug her. She watched as Victor held her finger and then pricked it with a needle before putting it on the golden talisman which shone in white light that entered her body.

Her world turned black and a blue shimmering screen welcomed her.
