The Young Master in the Shadows
Chapter 331: Briefing (1)
Chapter 331: Briefing (1)
The hooligan had only one idea before he fell dead, drowning in his own blood. Why was that killer moving like a prostitute?
Well, he would never know that answer. Neither would the 34 members of his gang who lost their sorry life as a group of very man-hating girls descended on them
No... Describing those girls as man-hating was not accurate as they only liked one man, a very handsome purple-haired young man... But they kept this a secret from their man-hating, blood-drinking ass-whipping mistress.
“Is everyone dead?” the Mistress, Alpha asked as she walked out of the shadows near the warehouse they were raiding.
“Yes!” one of the girls said. She was the new first secretary. The previous one had seemingly upset the mistress by telling the young master that the Mistress’s face was as pretty as her butt. As a result, she was demoted to the honorary position of Chief Toilet Cleaner.
“The girls are already collecting the blood vials you requested!” the assistant said.
“Good...” Alpha said, as she broke the warehouse lock with a swing from her sword and then opened the gate.
Inside, many underage girls were wrapped in rags. They looked frightened as the door opened at this unusual hour, not knowing if the hooligans were bringing some new group or planning to do something to them again.
It was Alpha’s fault for waiting too long to attack, But Victor had told her to wait and make sure that no one from the heavenly sect was not here before initiating the raid.
“Fear not!” Alpha said softly. “I am here to save you...” she added, giving the doubtful girls an inspecting look. There were 47 of them.
“Shall we collect blood samples?” the assistant asked softly.
“Wait until they calm down and have a warm meal... Get two samples from each, one for me and one to send to Victor.” Alpha said as the girls around her began to help the girls out. “And when writing the report, don’t mention anything about the girls’ age in it...” she added. If that pervert Victor knew that they were lolis, he would come here running.
“I understand....” the assistant paused abruptly, “Mistress look!” she said pointing at the sky.
Alpha frowned and looked up only to gasp!
...
In a well-lit underground study, around a square desk, four people were having a secret meeting after feeding the cock and telling the other girls in the mansion that they were going to discuss the stock market.
The first was Victor who arrogantly sat on a comfy chair with a stack of files in front of him, totally unaware that he was missing out on something.
To his left, Elise was sitting timidly, wondering why the other two were there.
To his right Lily was sitting, she was relaxing on the couch while hugging one of her pretty legs while dangling the other to the floor. Her posture was like a crow resting on a twig. It seemed like her last 400 years trip had changed some of her habits. He didn’t mind it as he would get to look at her pretty feet more.... That’s as long as she didn’t decide that it would be fun to sit on his shoulder.
Regardless...
In front of them, Margret sat on a chair, also in a strange way crossing her legs and showing off her expensive panties as she eyed the others. At least she wore them.
“Now... Let’s start this strategy briefing!” Victor said after clearing his throat.
“Strategy?” Elise asked.
“Yes... I was planning to initially delay this a year or two, but after awakening my bloodline, I became strong enough to be able to take some actions... The earlier we move our pieces the better!” he nodded to himself. “If my calculations are correct, at the earliest in a few months many things might change, so I want you girls to be aware of my plans!” Victor said.
“Plans for what?” Elise had to ask.
“World domination!” Lily and Margret replied at the same time then looked at each other.
“WHAT?” Elise asked, with a frown. Her new husband indeed exceeded her expectations, but she had no idea he had such lofty ambitions.
“Don’t listen to them....” Victor said, shaking his head. “I just want to survive and live a happy life with a large harem... And to make sure all my enemies and those who oppose me are peacefully rotting in their lead coffins no matter who they are!” he added, making Lily frown and look at him.
“Aha....” Elise still didn’t get it. “Isn’t that the same as world domination?”
“Not exactly, I plan to stay in the shadows... Let’s start from the beginning...” Victor said as he stuck another isolation talisman under the table, adding it to the hundred others around the room. Just to be sure.
“What beginning?” Elise asked.
“Me... Lily and Margret... We are time travelers!” he said casually as he relaxed in his seat as he dropped the bombshell.
“WHAT!” it was not Elise who asked, but Margret who looked at Lily. “You too?”
“Um...” Lili nodded, scratching her nose. She was already suspecting Margret.
“Time travelers? What do you mean exactly?” Elise asked after a few minutes of awkward silence.
“Oh...” she nodded, slightly pleased by what he said.
Victor slowly took one document from his stack and spread it open on the table.
“Now... I returned to this timeline three months ago. Throughout this time I already managed to grasp the power structure and already formulate a plan for action before the reckoning!” he said.
“The Reckoning?” Elise asked.
“In 20 years or so the world''s protection will collapse and demons and creatures from other worlds will begin invading this world, killing billions and destroying everything in their way!” Lily was the one who explained. “The rules will change, and this world would be more like an MMORPG game world where dungeons and demons pop out around all the time. Everyone will become a player at that time!”
“What?” Elise and Margret asked in shock.
Margret was not sure about this as she died a few months before that happened. Victor was being mysterious, not telling her everything until now.
“How bad will the damage be?” Elise asked immediately.
“At the peak of the invasion, 93.4% of the planet will be occupied, corrupted, or destroyed!” Lily replied. She had a clearer picture than Victor. “89% of humanity will perish! One from every 10!”
“Oh... Then humans will fight back?” Elise asked.
“Yes... Humans will win after a bitter fifty years struggle and paying a great price....” Victor was the one who replied this time. “Other than some very secure strongholds and danger zones, humans will be able to retrieve about half of the usable lands!” he explained.
“Then the emerging forces will fight each other...” Elise interrupted.
“Um...” Lily nodded. “In the end, my original family, the hidden Von Krone, will reveal themselves and use the chaos to take the throne!”
“Oh... You are a Von Krone?” Elise asked. she heard of them from her grandpa.
"Yes," Lily just nodded.
“What about my family?” Elise had to ask.
“Don''t you consider us your family now?” Victor asked, making her blush.
“I meant the Von Geldstadt...” she said with a sweet smile.
“Oh... Let’s start with them!” Victor said, taking out a file from the stake and placing it in front of him. It had the current state of the Von Geldstadt family.
”In the other timeline, they weakened themselves in inner strife before the Von Zwei family completely destroyed and absorbed them!” Victor said. “But now it should be different, as I already cured your grandfather...”
“Oh... He was cured?” Elise asked in surprise. She had no idea that her grandfather who kept coughing blood was already cured.
“Yes, a month ago when I met him at the auction... I got you in exchange!” Victor explained.
“Ah... So that’s it!” she opened her eyes in shock. Her grandfather was definitely a fox, fooling everyone around even his sons.
“Gary knew?” she asked.
“Yes. He was there!”
“Oh...”
“Now after the changes we made... The Von Gledstadt family should be able to survive and may be able to preserve their influence after the reckoning!” Victor said, putting a golden token in front of him.
“But are they now our allies or enemies?” Lily asked.
“I will support Gary to be the next Patriarch... Harvey already likes him. If he succeeds they will most likely be our allies,” Victor said. “They are not a militaristic family anyway, and once Margret finishes establishing our Merchants guild they would have no choice but to cooperate with us, as we would be the only one with a functioning infrastructure after the Reckoning!”
Margret nodded. She already started working on this with Aria’s help.
“A Merchant Guild?” Elise asked.
“Yes... I plan to build trading centers all around the world in predicted safe zones. It will be filled with reserve grains, food, and weapons that we will trade for precious minerals after the reckoning! Our forces'' initial goals will be to secure trade routes between them using our initial knowledge! Later I also plan to create space warping gates if possible, but that would depend on whether I would be able to secure the required materials...”
Lily who heard this gave him an apprehensive look and then nodded. It was possible, but it would require a lot of scheming!
“You will be amassing money using your future knowledge of the stock markets for that?” Elise asked.
“Yes... We already formed a few shell companies and we have already begun buying abandoned warehouses under the guise of building movie sets...” It was Margaret who said this. Realizing that this meeting was about Victor letting his most trusted generals know about his future plans. And she was part of this!
