The Young Master in the Shadows

Chapter 89: Night’s Whispers

Alpha was staying with Beta and the others in one room. They chose to sleep together tonight, as they missed each other. Hilda didn’t seem to mind them scattering mattresses all over the floor.

Alpha who was looking at the ceiling thinking about what happened today suddenly heard Beta’s voice, she was also unable to sleep.

“Alpha, what do you think of the young master?” Beta asked.

“He is a pervert. Like all of them.” Alpha replied,

“But I think he is really nice. He took us in and treated us nicely even though he didn’t have to.” Beta said. “He even let us shop online to get all the clothing and necessities we wanted.” She added.

“Was it him or that Lily?” Asked Alpha.

“It was Miss Lily, but she told us that this was what the young master intended.” Beta said.

“I just don’t trust him. What if he decided to sell you to some pervert friend of his one day.” Alpha said,

“We are already his maids, what can we do?” Said Beta with a sigh.

Alpha nodded silently, she didn’t reply.

“I don’t think he will do it. We already know he raided Titus’s mansion and he wouldn’t want others to know about that. And… I think he is too handsome to be evil,“ Epsilon, who didn’t sleep, suddenly said, making Alpha shake her head, that girl is a lost cause.

“That is the effect of him being a player. The Charm stats. Mina told us that players have stats like that video game we played in the afternoon.” Beta rebuked.

“What? They told you about the Players?” Alpha raised her head and looked at her sisters in shock. This means he planned to keep them with him and not sell them.

“Yes, did he tell you about this too? It was really hard to believe it until Miss Lily broke a solid rock with her bare hand.” Theta said as she clenched her hand as if she was the one crashing that stone. It seems like all of the girls were still awake.

“I am a player too,” Alpha said as she laid back on her mattress. While thinking that Vector may be intending to make them awaken as players too. Like that would be an easy task. Families would spend all their wealth and power to get such an easy method if one existed.

“What?” The girls rose up and looked at Alpha with shock, “You are a player? Really?” They asked.

“Yup, It happened by chance.” She lied. She has been a player since birth.

“Are you strong? What is your class? “ Gamma asked curiously.

“It’s rude to ask a player about his stats, but yes, I am very strong. My class is a warrior,” She said, concealing some facts.

“Stronger than Miss Lily? and Aunt Hilda?” Theta inquired.

“Probably. But I don’t know their levels so I can’t say.” Alpha replied with a sigh, all of her power didn’t stop her from falling into the hand of that pervert, Victor.

“What do you think we should do tomorrow?” Beta asked to change the subject after hearing Alpha’s gloomy reply.

“I think we should use the pool in the gym. The stuff we ordered has already been delivered. And we have to try our new swimming clothes.” Delta said. Titus already taught them how to swim. He thought it would be good for the sales. He didn’t let them wear anything though.

“Yes, it’s been a while.” Said Beta with a smile.

Alpha frowned as she thought about Victor’s dirty eyes watching her sisters in the pool, but she quickly scolded herself, what does it matter? Why was she too sensitive about Victor? She didn’t know.

…

Alex was sitting on the balcony while looking at the pale moon. In her hand, she held her Thunder sect’s disciple Token. There was a scar running across it making it invalid. Alex could feel this scar running through her own heart.

It was all because of her best friend and his father. They conspired to kill her father and take the patriarch's seat.

But they will pay. She would make them. She wanted to return after leaving the dungeon,

But the young master stopped her. He said that revenge is a dish better served cold. He warned her that every sect has a formation, and even with all her power she had no chance there. She knew that quite well, but she couldn’t hold herself.

The young master manipulated Sebastian to go there. He would probably take revenge on the thunder sect. But would not destroy them completely. But whatever he did, That formation would be destroyed. So they only needed to wait for news about the sect to go there.

…

Mina and Mana were laying silently in their beds when Mina asked.

“Sister, when should we tell the young master about our decision?” She asked.

“I was planning to tell him after dinner, But he seemed a little upset about something. So I thought about leaving it until tomorrow.” Mana answered.

“I think that’s better too, Didn’t you see How Lily was glued to him? I think it’s better to give them some time together.” Mina said.

“Yeah, no need to hurry. Lily has clearly told us that he can’t touch women for now.” Mana said. The girls were not stupid, they realized that if they chose to stay with him they would be considered his lovers. This was a good thing for them, as they really didn’t want to leave each other. And after getting to know him for the last few days, they were not really against the idea. He was rich, handsome, and genuinely nice to them. He even made them players and took care of them in the dungeon. much better than that peeping Tom. They were disillusioned after seeing the perverted recording.

Victor was not bad as he acts to be, They could tell from the way he looked at the girls. Although he inspected them repeatedly and appeared like a pervert, there was no lecherousness in his look. It was a warm look, like how a big brother looks at his younger sisters.

“Do you think he will get his hands on Margret too?” Mina asked.

“Probably. But that would be better for her, she didn’t say it, but I could tell her life is not easy. We would gain a new sister anyway.” Mana answered with a light blush.

“Yeah, I have a feeling that every time the young master goes somewhere there will be an additional sister,” Mina said with a sigh.

“Does it matter?” Asked Mana

“No, as long as we can stay together.” Her sister answered with a smile.

…

Hilda slowly made a last trip to the mansion before heading to the servants' building. She silently passed through the corridors checking on the girls.

Alpha was sleeping with her sisters, she could hear their laughter clearly from the corridor.

This was not bad at all. The young master is really great. She has served others before and knows how much darkness exists in the family. For the girls to be able to laugh like that was a real blessing.

When she met Victor at first she thought that he was another pervert like Nick, Baron or Theodore. He seemed to be a little too arrogant. But after talking with him she realized that this was all a facade. This young master was a genius. The rumors surrounding him were clearly false, and he was using those to his advantage.

He may appear to be a pervert on the outside. And made her really worried when she sent the girls to his chamber the first night he got here. But she had to do it because he was still young and didn’t have much experience with women, as she knew about the family's rules.

The twins were like daughters to her, and If they were able to gain his trust and approval, that would guarantee a stable life for them in the future.

But what the girls told her the next morning excited her expectations. He didn’t touch them, just let them sleep with him. But that’s not the interesting thing. What mattered was the girls‘ tone when they talked about him. They were no longer scared and had a really good impression of him.

She could hear their little bed talk when she passed by their room. Those girls had made their decision.

But that was to be expected, She could still remember how he saved them from Nick that night. He even gave her a healing pill. She knows how expensive those were. And after that, he made the twins Players. He claimed it was a coincidence. But she didn’t believe it, although unreasonable, her gut feeling told her that he knew what he was doing. And she always trusted her gut feeling.

Victor was a great young master, she was sure of it. Maybe being sent here was not a bad thing after all.

…

Victor was smiling silently as he looked at the sleeping beauty cuddled in his embrace.

When he met her for the first time before the ceremony, he was planning to take advantage of her as a part of his plan, maybe exchange her for great benefits from her family. But later after seeing her true beauty, and interacting with her for a while, he began to like her. And he could tell that she truly loved him. But he was hesitant.

It all changed in the dungeon, at first he felt a little jealous after seeing that she began to be swayed by Tom. When she protected him with her body. At that moment, he felt something in his heart break. A barrier that he erected after his wife was killed in his previous life. He realized that he truly loved Lily, and he would not tolerate anything happening to her.

Now, looking at the content smile on her sleeping face he was wondering what to do. If he really wanted to keep her, he would have to face a lot of trouble. But for her, he was ready to face anything.

But the problem was her family. Those guys are still busy for now. But eventually, they would trace her to him. If he really wanted to keep her at that time, she would have to be his main wife. He was not against the idea, as he would treat all his girls equally regardless of their status. But the problem was convincing his family. He felt that he should go to the island and negotiate a deal with his grandmother. Maybe he would be able to fix the trouble with Linda too. But that would have to wait for a few days. He was waiting for something that could happen any day now. He was not sure, since this thing happened years later in his other life. But his actions have sped things up.

His first step should be to awaken his and Lily’s bloodlines. He had already collected some of the materials, But there was a specific component that was really hard to get. That thing is vital for his plan, as he would need to awaken the girls' bloodlines too before making them players as that would grant. immense benefits.

Now, he only wanted one thing. And that was to spend the night with Lily in his embrace. As for the other things, he will leave them until the morning.
