The Young Master in the Shadows-Chapter 372: Father is coming!

“Is there a problem?” Victor asked as he and Mike walked out onto the building’s roof with a snack sandwich that they ordered a poor assistant to prepare.

“Just something… Are you alright? You seem a little different since yesterday… Are you sick or something?” Mike asked.

“Ah… Just a bit tired…” Victor said. “Having a big Harem is not easy…”

“True… Anyway, Father called!” Mike said. “He is currently Newlure and wants to see me…”

“Oh, so you plan to go there?”Victor frowned.

“No, he is already on his way here. He said he also wanted to see you to get something…” Mike said.

“Ahh… Right…right….” Victor nodded, this was about the fake diary. Thankfully it was ready, and he had a lot of time in the moon dungeon to write it to perfection. Still, it needed one final touch.

“How about we let him in on our little test tonight?” Mike suddenly asked.

“Ah…” Victor paused. “Are you planning to tell him the truth?” he asked.

“Yes, it would not be easy to fool him,” Mike nodded. “And it is not like he will insist on you taking the credit…”

Victor frowned then nodded, true. “Fine…” he said. Letting Theodore in was not a bad thing! He might help set the stage for them later.

“Then I will tell him to meet us at your mansion!” Mike said.

…

Finishing with Mike, Victor who was feeling a little tipsy left him and then slowly returned inside.

He was a little unwell ever since the accident in the morning. Damn it… Losing Tulip was very detrimental to his plan, if he knew that would happen he would have tried to scam that rain guy.

Victor kept thinking of what to do as he entered the restroom near the auditorium and then found an empty cubicle.

Just as he sat down, he heard the sound of the restroom's door opening again and three people walked in. They wore high heels.

“What a bitch!” one of them said. She was a woman. “Sitting like that with John Sigma as if she was something important!”

“I know… Just because she slept with the CEO, she managed to become the Vice president… She is full of vice alright!” the second one said, she seemed jealous.

“Careful, she might hear you…” the last one said, confirming Victor’s guess that the three were women. What were they doing in the men’s room?

“Don’t worry… I am sure she is now busy kissing her lover's ass… I heard she used to work as a prostitute, my brother said he had a video about her somewhere, but he couldn’t find it…”

“Oh. Really? I did hear some old man try to harass her the other day saying he was an acquaintance of her uncle… She invited him for a cup of coffee in a nearby restaurant and left with him!”

“Damn… A slut is a slut no matter how well she dresses! A filthy gold digger!”

“Aren't you the same? A gold digger I meant…” One girl said, correcting herself.

“Don’t compare me to her! At least I have standards!” the first one yelled angrily.

“By the way, that crimson dress she wore, what was its brand?” the third one intervened to calm her friends down.

“I have never seen it before, but it doesn't look cheap, and she did say she had to work her ass off to buy it…”

“What a bitch… Now she is going on about this stupid movie project… I am sure …” the woman didn’t continue as the restroom door opened and someone walked in.

“Ah…. Vice…”

“KYAAAAAAAAAAAAA….”

Slap… Slap…. Slap…

Victor heard the sound of slapping and then the sound of three bodies collapsing to the floor.

“Bitches, do you think I didn’t hear you!” Margret, who seemed angry, said. “All of you are fired! Now go! Don’t let me send the hounds after you!” she scolded.

Victor could hear the sound of three women running out after that the restroom door closed.

“You can come out now…” Margret said facing his cubicle.

“Just a moment…” Victor said as he finished his business then adjusted his pants and walked out. He looked at Margret, who seemed to have changed her dress into a silky black one-piece that had a long cut along one leg and couldn't help swallowing his saliva. She looked smoking hot!

“You came just at the right time to hear them… Were you haunting them or something?” he asked, shaking his head a little as he began to wash his hands.

“I was following you and just happened to hear them…” she said after a sigh. Many in the company seemed to hate her and look down on her. She knew that perfectly. It was all out of jealousy, they wanted to be like her, but couldn't!

“Why were you following me?” He turned to look at her with a frown.

“I just thought that since you entered the ladies’ restroom you might be thinking of having some fun…” she pouted.

“What do you mean lady’s restroom, this place is….. HOLY SHIT!” Victor exclaimed as he looked around. This was the lady’s room. How the hell did he miss that earlier.

“I guess there is a lot on your mind…” Margret said, looking at him, “By the way, why did you do that?” she asked.

“Did what?” he asked as he dried his hands.

“When that man threatened Elise, why didn’t you shoot him?” Margret asked.

“I was planning to, but you beat me to him…” he paused. Since when was Margret faster than him?

“Exactly! I had to wait 30 seconds expecting you to act before I shot him… I thought you were testing us, but now I guess not… Today you seem to be a little slow in a sense…” she said as she inspected him.

“Oh… One sec…” Victor said then frowned as he closed his eyes and began to appraise himself.

There was nothing wrong… Wait.

Victor closed his eyes and quickly entered his soul space, the blood slave skill gave him the ability to see through his slaves’ eyes, and this technique was in a way a method for his soul to enter their bodies…

HOLY SHIT

At his soul space, the damage was beyond anything he could imagine. A large part of his soul was literally shredded into pieces with only thin threads connecting them.

It must have been when he felt the pain when Hua Hua tested Tulip’s blood. That bitch secretly attacked his soul that was connected to Tulip’s blood… No, this attack must have been integrated with the test skill she used!

“SHIT!” he yelled. No wonder he felt very foggy all morning. This was not a small damage, and if not for his soul defense skill and the size of his soul, he would have definitely died without knowing how! Lords are really scary!

Damn it… He had been acting too brazenly lately after he got his bloodline awakened and after he got all of those X-ranked skills. He forgot how scary the world could be!

“What?” Margret asked as she watched Victor grab a few healing pills and then throw them in his mouth.

“My soul is damaged…” he said, making Margret raise one eyebrow. Victor was being too honest…

“We should return to the mansion to get Ruby…” she said as she quickly took her phone and sent a message to Theta. “I will let Monica take care of the Auditions,”

“Damn it… My father is coming tonight…” he exclaimed as if he didn’t hear Margret. His mind seemed to have lost the ability to process more than one thread at a time.

Shit! Bad luck was hunting him… It was as if he got jinxed or…. Damn, it was definitely that girl Mavis!

“Let’s go!” Victor said but was stopped by Margret who stood in his way. “What?” he asked.

“Just a little test… It would be a shame not to take advantage of this situation,” she said as she moved her hand behind her back and untied a single thread. The next moment, the black dress she was wearing slid off her body.

“Ahh….”

Victor lost all reason after that.

…

“What did you do to him?” Lily asked as soon as she entered the CEO’s office where Victor was laying on the couch with a blissful smile on his face. He was only wearing a towel around his waist.

Margret, who was wearing a bathrobe and sitting at his side, didn't have to answer as Victor replied without raising his head. “My soul is damaged…” he kept it short.

“That Void lord?” Lily asked as she hurried to his side to check on him. He smelled a lot like Margret despite seemingly just having a shower in the office’s private bathroom. It was as if she sat on his face or something….

“Yeah…” Victor said.

“I already called Ruby, she should be here any second!” Margret said, earning herself a glare from Lily.

“And why is he like this?” Lily asked.

“Earlier he seemed to be a little airheaded due to his soul damage, so I figured it would be dangerous to take him out like that… You saw how many girls were planning to throw themselves at him when the audition finished!”

“So you drained him out?” Lily asked.

“Yup… It worked…” she shrugged, making Lily silently curse. Damn, that bitch must have taken advantage of him! But she was right.

“How are you feeling now?” Lily asked as she watched him sit up with difficulty. Margret did drain him well!

“I am a little better thanks to the soul-healing pills I took, but it was dangerous…” he said. “I didn’t notice anything at all… That bitch must have done something like this before…”

“Soul severing?” Lily asked. She did feel Victor was a little agitated earlier, but she thought this was because of him losing Tulip.

“Yes… I only read about it in the records, but I never imagined it would be this dangerous!” He said.

“So.. What should we do now?” Lily asked

“As I was telling Margret, my father will be here tonight, so we will have to act accordingly…” He paused then took a bloodstained diary from his ring. “Lily, can you use your Time Dilation skill on this… I want it to be one thousand years old!” He said.

Lily frowned then nodded as she grabbed the diary, flipped through it before she placed it on the table in front of her, and closed her eyes.

Moments later Victor and Margret watched as a transparent black orb of energy began to surround the Diary that began to weather as if it was passing through the years.

It all ended in ten minutes when the office door was knocked.

“It is finished!” Lily, who seemed a little tired, said, throwing the Diary back at Victor and then going to unlock the office’s door.

It was Ruby and Theta who seemed to have hurried from the mansion.

“Ahh…. Young master!” Ruby and Theta both exclaimed as they closed their eyes with their hands when they saw Victor’s semi-nude state.

“Come quick…” he said as he put the diary away after inspecting it. “I seemed to have hurt my soul remembering your beauty… Could you take a look at it?” he asked, flashing the two little girls a dashing smile. He could tell that they were peaking at him through the small openings left between their fingers.

Crack… The poor door knob cracked in the back as Lily squeezed it with her hand while closing the door, but no one cared about that.
