The Young Master in the Shadows

Chapter 184: We meet again!

The girls were shaking in horror as they surrounded the monster. It had been hacked about 20 times but managed to regrow its hands and tails every time they were severed with great difficulty.

“Don’t falter and remember our plans,” Alpha shouted, making the girls quickly stabilize. No matter how scary this thing was, their mistress was scarier.

"Mina, Mana… help me attract its attention again! '' Alpha yelled as she engaged the monster with her spear.

The twins quickly began to attack in waves as Alpha tanked for them.

"Team Black at 8.30" Alpha shouted as an opening appeared and one of the assassin girls materialized near the monster and struck the opening, causing sparks to fly as her dagger cut open the steel-like scales letting the monster growl. Mina quickly arrived at that point and used her spear to deflect the Monster’s sharp claws, giving the assassin girl a chance to blend in the darkness again.

"Mana, give your sister an antidote pill, she was scratched… Ruby, heal Sky, her hands were damaged by the scales… And F*cking Margret, these snakes are gathering again. Lead them away quickly as Team blue reloaded!…." Alpha gave orders as she rotated with the twins. They were the only ones with a suitable fighting class for tanking.

"A success!" Theta, who was vomiting blood from her mouth, shouted suddenly. At last her gamble to make the monster reveal its weakness succeeded… She was wagering her health for that! The possibility of a weak point reveal was only 1/10.

The next moment, the monster bent in a strange way revealing a red scale that existed right where the scales met the human-like parts. It was hidden and protected deeply under other scales… This was the third time they found it, as it keeps changing its position.

"Camellia, how much time? No mistakes this time, Theta is already at her limit." Alpha shouted after she cut the monster's hand and watched it regrow.

"Five minutes and 21 seconds … A chance of 3.15 …12 degrees up," Camellia shouted as the sound of firearms sounded near Margret who led the army of snakes toward a trap pit prepared by Beta and Eta.

"Plan Q This time.." Alpha shouted as she engaged the monster who was howling in anger again. Allowing Mana to rest and eat a healing pill.

And like that, for the next five minutes, the girls rotated, injuring the monster… They were not sparing any effort, and it showed as the monster was getting tired too, its movement slowed.

"10 Seconds" Camellia shouted.

"Wind" Alpha screamed as Archie in the corner began chanting, causing the dust accumulated from the dead snakes to blow in the monster's face.

Alpha quickly popped three healing pills in her mouth, then throw her spear at the monster's tail, pinning it as Mana and Mina did the same.

All of them took their swords after that and attacked it savagely… Only revealing a small opening at a certain angle where a hidden hand struck a red jewel just as it momentarily appeared there. It was Mira, delivering her first and last strike in this battle!

Congratulations!

…

After a weird dinner with his grandfather and grandmother, and saying goodbye to his mother, Victor left the villa with Lily, El, and Lara who was reluctant to leave her mother who gave her a long list of instructions.

Victor, not wanting his mother or grandfather to ask unnecessary questions, Let Alex wait in the car while wearing his wig and sunglasses despite the fact that it was already dark. She was tasked with reviewing a stack of papers that he gave her.

So After getting into the shaded car and saying goodbye to everyone, the car started then slowly left the Villa complex headed toward the highway leading to Vein city.

That’s what Sebastian saw. He made sure to follow the car on a children's bicycle until the highway just to make sure.

He never realized that the one who was driving was Lily. And Victor, whom he was stalking had used his camouflage ability to fake entering the car and was now making his way quickly toward the villa over the waterfall.

“Elder sister, He left town.”

“Yes..”

“Yes, I made sure to follow them…”

“Yes, I am not a kid!”

“I know… I will be there in a minute.”

After a brief call on his phone, Sebastian made his way toward the waterfall villa too, wondering what his elder sister wanted to get from there, and laughing at her calling him a kid! What would her reaction be if she knew he was much older than she believed?

…

When Victor reached the Villa with Alex the first thing he did was to call Alpha.

“Anyone died? Are you all ok?” He asked as soon as she answered, acting as if he didn’t know.

“We are all safe. Some girls had some bruises, but we got a healer so things went smoothly.” She said… surprised by his concern. “Are you coming to meet with us?” She asked.

“No… Something happened, you stay at the mountain base for now… I want you to continue interrogating that idiot Kline and his men… Get anything you can on his master Troy.” Victor said.

“I already got a lot of things… But you interrupted my work, making me go on dungeon raid…” She complained with annoyance.

“How many levels did you get?” He asked.

“Five. Babysitting is profitable.” She replied. “Your beloved Mira got most of it as she was the one who delivered the final strike. She is now level 10.” She added with some annoyance.

“Oh… Not bad! I will reward you with a kiss later.” He said, making her spit to the side of the phone as the girls watched her and wondered who was she talking to.

“Now.. Do you know a girl named Hana von Richter?” he asked, making her squint her eyes.

“If her name is correct, she should be a part of my family. But we didn’t get any info on the other seeds, so I can’t tell you anything about her.” She replied truthfully

“Then do you know about a base in the golden waterfall town?” He asked.

“Oh… There is one there, on top of the waterfall. The family had left such bases that we were instructed to open when the time was right… They need my family’s bloodline to be opened though.” She said, reluctantly, knowing that she can’t lie to him.

“Give me its exact location. ” He said. as he watched the street below, hoping that he would have enough time to ransack that place. Suddenly, he saw a bicycle climbing the cliff. With a pretty girl sitting on the back and clinging to a kid who was driving it. SH*T!

“Young master… These are meant…” Alpha was hesitant…

“LOUISE I DON'T HAVE TIME! QUICKLY” He yelled causing the hesitating Alpha to yield and gave him the location coordinates.

“It’s 3 Meters below ground, precisely at 339° 54′ 22″ 0068 North and 79° 28' 5.0016'' West. It can only be accessed by a Von Richter bloodline.” She warned again as she wondered how powerful was his identification ability to know even her real name! She never told anyone!

“I know.” He said as he hung up the phone and ran to the location Alpha mentioned using the positioning system on his phone… It was below a big brick fireplace.

“Alex, stay here and hide… Stop everyone…. NO! If a girl enters this place, leave her to do whatever she wants. If that bastard Sebastian tries to enter, act as if you were following them then engage with him and stop him no matter what… You may even kill him…” Victor said, making Alex’s face get serious.

“I understand,” she said as she watched her young master crawl into the fireplace, then after carefully checking the positioning system on his phone a couple of times he disappeared leaving one sentence. “REMOVE THAT STUPID WIG...”

…

“Don’t kill him,” Hana instructed Sebastian who professionally threw a small stone that rendered the lazy guard on the gate unconscious immediately.

“Older sister. You are always a pacifist like that… You should be more decisive and kill your enemies, Master keeps telling you that” Sebastian said as he took a rope and tied the guard reluctantly.

“I just don’t want to shed unnecessary blood. This guy is just a poor guard, not an enemy.” She said,

“He would be if he caught us,” Sebastian interjected. As he looked at the guard's watch which he silently snatched… This guard was not poor at all…

“He didn’t stop us.” She replied as she carefully entered the villa ground followed by her younger apprentice brother and watched the amazing scenery inside.

“Those guys really know how to live…” He said with an envious voice as he smacked his lips… He was raised in the sect where he had to live an ascetic lifestyle. He hated it!

“You are still a kid, one day you may build a much grander place… And you must learn to be humble, this place is not suitable for people like us who pursue the material way.” Hana said righteously despite the slight designer hidden in her eyes.

“Where to now?” He asked.

“The terrain has changed, but I have the coordinates.” She replied as she took an antique device that she borrowed from their master before leaving and began to search with it.

“Can’t you use your phone?” He asked, “Phones these days have GPS systems.” He said.

“The one on the phone is not accurate enough, we must find it from the first try.” She replied as she headed to the fireplace, then checked a few more times, making sure it was there.

“It is under this…” She said as she wondered how to dig.

“I can use a bomb…” He suggested.

“NO… It would make too much noise. Too bad you only know fire spells.” She said as she took a green vile from her storage ring and emptied it inside the fireplace.

“What is that?” He asked.

“It’s a very strong acid, it should go right through the ground.” She said as she watched the ground starting to cave in.

“Oh… “ He watched as Hana left the room. “Where are you going…” He wanted to ask, but quickly realized why she left. The smell of this acid was too disturbing.

After catching up with his elder sister, they waited for about one hour outside, enjoying the magnificent scenery in a romantic atmosphere. Or that is what Sebastian liked to imagine as he sneak-peeked at his elder sister's smiling face.

“It must be ready now… Stay here.” Hana told Sebastian.

“Why… Older sister… Don’t you trust me?” He asked with a sad face.

“Ahh... I do… But this is a family secret!” She said decisively, making him nod reluctantly. He knew how stubborn she could get.

After making sure to tie her loose hair in a ponytail, she gave Sebastian a stern look, then made her way inside and looked through the new tunnel in the ground. She emptied a new bottle inside to neutralize the acid and then jumped after a moment when the smell disappeared.

Sebastian watched for a second then an evil smile crept on his face… He counted to 100 and then started heading to the tunnel. Would his elder sister kick him out if he got inside? Of course not. She might scold him, but wouldn't they be sharing a secret after that... He he he.

“So that’s what you were snooping for around all day.” A voice that Sebastian would never forget sounded behind him making him stop and then turn to look at young master Alex, whom he presumed dead!

“YOU!” Sebastian yelled angrily as he took out his staff, preparing for battle.

“Yes, it is me. We meet again! I was right to follow you after seeing you following that stupid young master in town…” Alex said as she walked closer, feeling refreshed, it has been a while since she acted as a young master. Although she hated it before, She missed those days.

“How was that Arachne? I heard you both had a great time.” Alex asked casually as she stepped closer one more time, making Sebastian lose all reason and launch a fireball at her, which she was ready for.

She was already close enough to kick his staff, making the fireball hit a nearby tree and burning it into ashes. This afternoon, Victor had already given her all of Sebastian's skills and ways to defend against them.
