Carrying the fainted Nova, Victor almost tripped over the soundly sleeping Atlas as he quickly climbed upstairs in a hurry while using his disguise skill. He had decided to carry on with his plan. Nova’s trouble would have to wait until after his wedding.
In the living room, the Von Astrom couple were still busy arguing, not aware that Victor was now beside them.
“.... leave this to me… This would be better for Nova…” Luliana was saying.
“I am worried that she might be mistreated…” Sirius replied.
"Relax, she would be under your uncle George's care!"
“But… what if this guy took revenge on her because of your unreasonable demands…”
“He won’t. Didn’t you see how I checked him? He is a wimp, just like you…. “
“Oh now I am a wimp…” he said, raising one eyebrow. He didn’t seem offended.
“You could have become the patriarch of your rotten family, but gave it all up to marry me!” she said, making him smile.
“It was your fault for being so lovely, making me fall in love with you!” he said.
Victor didn’t care about the flirting couple at all. He was busy moving around them searching for the TV remote, it was already 8.00 PM and that damn thing was nowhere to be found.
He finally found it after 2 minutes, Luliana was sitting on it. He quickly grabbed it and pulled it away.
“Ahh, husband, we have guests… We will have time for that later tonight…” she said, blushing.
“I didn’t…” he didn’t continue as the TV magically turned on.
“Warning, some of the following content might be disturbing for some portions of society…” A reporter said, “Now we will cut to some exclusive news from Vein City….” The reporter introduced before they began playing Victor’s interview from this morning.
Victor sighed in relief as he had made it in time… After making sure that the couple was watching TV, he quickly stuck the remote back on the couch and swiftly escaped the villa carrying his trophy on his shoulder.
…
Luliana and Sirius watched the news report to the end when the reporter, Gloria, implored the public and the government to work on fixing the old unjust noble laws.
Both of them looked at each other at the same time, they felt that something was very wrong… The way Victor was talking on TV was totally different from the feeble guy they met a moment ago.
“Let’s go check on the kids…” she said, jumping from the couch and dashing toward the basement. Sirius quickly followed.
Downstairs their son was sleeping on the carpet with an exposed butt.
“I think we have a problem,” she looked nervously around the room then at her husband who nodded and then activated a talisman.
“Found her?” Luliana asked.
“... No… The bracelet is not responding!” he said as he began to sweat. “I might need to inform the family…” he pondered.
“No, last time they almost killed her if not for Atlas reaching her before them. Let’s just wait for now. We need to make sure of some things first.” Luliana said, taking her phone, then hesitating for a whole minute before sending a message.
“Hey, I need a favor.”
…
Amelia was sitting in shock in front of the TV. She had just watched the news… This is beyond shamelessness. She didn’t like it at all! This was humiliating!
“That bastard!” Amelia yelled angrily throwing the poor TV remote at the poorer smart 50” TV, shattering both of them.
She was very angry, suspecting that Victor was on purpose shaming her family in public. Now a swarm of annoying journalists would surround her house… Her husband's office would not be much better. Damn it!
Thankfully Lin was not at home. She was out, dungeon raiding with her friends!
Ever since she met Victor in school, that girl was enchanted by him… It was to be expected though of a girl with her circumstances. Lin had the emotional intelligence of a 10-year-old girl after all.
As a mother, she should be happy for her daughter who found love after getting cured. But she couldn't do that as a Von Rosen. Victor was doomed to become a family puppet and die killing his own kin.
At this moment, she was worried about how to teach her daughter about the parasite method. Her only option was to tell a little lie… She knew that this might hurt her relationship with Lin later, but this was for her own good.
…
Linda was sitting in Bill's embrace, enjoying a blissful moment as she watched the sea waves hit the yacht from the circular window.
“Are you really pregnant?” he asked her softly caressing her silky stomach.
“Yes… You have to take care of us from now on…” she cheekily stated. Thankfully she didn’t leave this golden goose. His grandfather called a week ago telling him that he had fixed his position in the family and that he can return to his own mansion in the capital at any time… They decided to take the trip there on this yacht, enjoying their time.
The only problem left was that the Von Weise family might not accept her, but now that she had become pregnant, that can be easily fixed. She just had to make sure that the child had purple hair. One way or another.
Suddenly her phone beeped a very stupid tone, it was a message from one of her trusted friends. Kuku.
“WATCH TV NOW! 14th CHANNEL. IT IS THAT PERVERT!”
Linda frowned but quickly switched on the satellite TV in the cabin.
“....this crazy report from Vein city has made the news all over the country in the last hour. Now we will broadcast it again due to our viewers' demand.…” a bald announcer said.
Linda and Bill quickly sat up and watched as Victor’s smug smile filled their 80” MLED TV screen.
“...This young master will hold his wedding to two very pretty women at the same time! Lady Lin Cross and Lady Nova Von Astrom…”
Linda gasped as the reporter showed two images at the side of the screen. One of them was a girl she knew too well. The real Linda!
“Cross? The same surname as you, Do you know her?” Bill, who watched her reaction asked.
“Ah…. Yes….” she hesitated, why was that b*tch fine? Wasn’t she supposed to die….. This is bad, super bad….
“What’s wrong?” he asked.
“Nothing… That girl… She is my sister… the thing is…. She is evil… she always hated me because she was jealous of my talent. She used to bully me as a kid… She must have taken the opportunity to jump into that pervert’s embrace after I left… And I am afraid she might even fabricate some lie to make the family haunt me because I chose you…” she said with tears filling her swollen eyes.
“You don’t have to fear her… I can call my grandfather and ask him to stop the wedding if you want.” Bill said.
“NO!... That would break my mother’s heart,” she said nervously. The only reason The Von Rosen family didn’t tell the world about her was that they didn’t want to antagonize the Von Weise who might get angry if they discovered that they were scammed in the beginning. If the families began to fight, some tongues might become loose. "I just don’t want to meet her ever again," she can't let Bill know she was scamming him.
“Don’t worry, even if they invited me, I will never go to Mike’s brother’s wedding… Their branch of the family is just a joke. A group of weirdos,” he said, remembering Alice… That slut dared to offer him a place in her harem in front of his friends, saying that he has some potential to be whipped into shape.
"I need to go to the ladies room," Linda suddenly said, not noticing the loathing look in his eyes.
"Should I come with you?" he asked, raising one eyebrow. This girl was teaching him some interesting stuff. Much better than that Alice.
"Ah… Not this time!" she said, making him a little disappointed.
He frowned a little as she hurried to the toilet where she began to text Kuku, instructing her to buy some things and send them to her. She didn’t want to arouse suspicion by buying those things in the capital, and in Vein City, she knew a certain hidden expert who can get anything.
She would not let that slut Lin enjoy her wedding! And what better way to ruin a wedding than a curse? She still had a lock of Lin’s hair hidden away for such occasions.
…
After watching the shocking news, Lily sighed as all the assassin girls looked at her without saying anything because Malcolm and Yin were sitting with them.
Despite that, she could really tell from the pity in their eyes what they meant. The girls did not know that Victor was intending to replace Nova with her. She had told no one.
"I think this guy is a bastard," Malcolm said. “When I marry, I will only cherish one girl for the rest of my life,” he said heroically, looking sideways at Lily… After staying with the girls for an entire day, he realized that although they were sadists, they were not bad at all.
He was much more comfortable speaking around them, especially after seeing how Yin was talking a lot more. If this crazy girl can relax, he can do it too!
“You have to grow up first…” Nora told him with a smirk, “I think that guy is nice, I wouldn’t mind if he married me with a few other girls…Look he is both rich and super handsome.” She said, winking at Lily.
Yin who looked at Victor’s picture nodded, he is handsome…. Too handsome… Devilishly handsome… She shivered a little.
“I am already 14!” he exclaimed. The girls ignored him.
“I don’t even need to be his wife… I don’t mind carrying his child…” Ivy said, faking wiping her drool as she winked at Lily who ignored her sister’s teasing.
“I think that wedding will carry some surprises,” Lily said, hiding her smile behind her veil… This announcement was not for the world, but for her.
…
After leaving the villa’s neighborhood, Victor quickly bought a disposable phone and sent a message to Alpha, telling her to change the location of the dropout. If the heavenly sect was involved, he must be more cautious.
The trip to the new location would take 2 hours, but he didn’t care as his mind was busy thinking of a way to fix Nova’s trouble.
He was so disturbed, by the things he found out that he totally forgot to check on Alex and even failed to notice the convoy of 15 ambulances that passed him heading downtown.
His mind was occupied by Nova. She was a can of worms. A pretty can of worms that Victor didn’t know how to handle. She was both a problem and a chance.
First of all, he needed to make sure that she was not possessed by a demon, as that would mean she had to go… And he had no easy way of confirming that. He needed an artifact that was very troublesome to get. Maybe he should send Tom to get that artifact for him?
YES! That would be good, he would be able to get him away from the city at the same time!
In his previous plan, Victor had a role for Tom to play at the wedding, but now he didn’t want to risk it anymore.
He could no longer give Nova to Tom, as this girl was destined to be that idiot's nemesis. She would definitely escape and go to Caspian… And that guy knew how to hold a grudge. Victor had read many books about him and knew of his despicable character quite well.
Damn it… This is troublesome! If only he had another blood slave slot… He used the last one on that sick bastard Poe. He can always kill him and retrieve that spot though…
Taking a deep breath Victor reviewed his options… Use Nova, Hide Nova, Kill Nova…
In the end, he decided to keep Nova for now and deal with her after the wedding. Maybe Poe would become dispensable at that time.
Step two… Victor quickly connected with Tom to send him away… WTF!
That idiot was already raiding a dungeon!
When did that guy find a dungeon? Wasn’t he at the academy in the morning?
Could it be….?
Victor checked on Lin quickly, she was in the same dungeon fighting some iron skeletons.
Damn it! This was the Academy’s dungeon raid! That slut Isabella must have found a dungeon and then hurried the students there without prior notice.
Sh*t, he must hurry back to Vein city as soon as he finishes with the trouble here in the morning.
