Chapter 209 Night of the Festival (4)

“Vikir needs to be in the kitchen!”

“What’s the point of the kitchen if there are no customers?”

The extreme fight unfolded to attract Vikir to one’s side. Amidst the rivalry blossoming beautifully between the kitchen faction and the customer faction.

“Why are they fighting.”

There was someone embracing Vikir.

“?”

Vikir furrowed his brow.

...Why is this person here right now?

A familiar face. Although disguised as a vampire with a mask, one could guess from the aura.

Is there anyone else who can exude such presence in this physique and age range?

Osiris. Osiris Le Baskerville.

The heir to the Baskerville clan, the legitimate successor of Hugo.

He is currently giving Vikir a hug.

Suddenly, many thoughts crossed Vikir’s mind.

Among them, the first was the code that Cindiwendy had sent not long ago.

1. Ten Corpses. Information acquisition. Time needed for analysis. One month.

2. Night hound. Two imitators appear. One seems like a fan, the other’s purpose is unknown.

3. Osiris Le Baskerville. Left family. Presumed to be heading towards Venetior.

The third item clearly stated that Osiris, the young lord of the Baskerville clan was heading towards Venetior. The exact purpose was unknown.

But, at that moment, Vikir was more focused on the two Copy cats.

“Who is he? He’s so tall.”

“Is he Vikir’s family?”

“We can’t see his face because of the mask.”

Overall, there is a majority of opinions curious about Osiris’s identity. However, Osiris left the area with Vikir without any intention of causing a commotion.

Eventually, Osiris returned behind the tent with Vikir.

“You’ve become much prettier since I last saw you, little sister.”

It was the first greeting that seemed somewhat mischievous.

However, Vikir’s expression remained consistently cold.

“Why did you come here, Brother?”

“Call me ‘oppa.’ It’s more appropriate than given your dress, according to the academy’s tradition.”

“It was a joke.” Osiris said

Vikir asked again.

“Why did you come here, brother?”

“An older brother must come and help when his younger sister is in trouble.”

Just then.

“...Dolores? Isn’t she that lass from the Quovadis clan? I know her face. I wasn’t talking about Dolores. I was talking about the cutie dressed in a Witch costume.”

“....”

“A joke.”

Certainly, Osiris had undergone a significant personality change unbeknownst to Vikir. Wondering if this was also influenced by Pomeranian, Vikir momentarily held his tongue.

‘Recovering emotions while being in the Peak Graduator barrier is more advantageous for growth. Osiris himself may not be aware, but it seems to be a positive development for him.’

The addition of a younger sister (actually a niece) to a household dominated by male siblings had an unexpectedly tremendous ripple effect. Vikir pondered

Osiris also shared various pieces of information with Vikir about the current state of the family and its operations.

“The trade deals you arranged are currently proceeding vigorously. It’s happening after allying with the Messiandro family.”

The three-way trade between Ballak, Baskerville, and Cindiendy had finally gained momentum. However, there was a peculiar aspect.

Vikir asked Osiris, “When you mention the Messiandro family...”

“That’s right. The very family that was almost wiped out by the Baskerville’s in the past.”

Osiris seemed already familiar with Cindiendy’s past. Given that, Vikir couldn’t help but wonder why CindiWendy, who harbored resentment against the Baskervilles, had joined hands with them. Osiris clarified this point.

“Do you remember the investigative committee on past affairs that you formed before entering the academy? Since then, I took over as the committee’s chairman and thoroughly re-examined all the events from the past.”

Seven families involved in that scandal were annihilated. Amidst that, misunderstandings and mistakes between Baskerville and Messiandro were also revealed. As a result, Baskerville officially apologized to Messiandro and gave them hefty compensation.

Many old Baskerville’s involved in the conspiracy had to pay the price, providing Osiris with an opportunity to reorganize the family’s power dynamics.

Ultimately, Hugo and Osiris successfully suppressed the Elder Council, leading to the complete control of the family’s power.

It seemed that CindiWendy had also somewhat softened her stance, perhaps due to these events.

‘Well, it’s her own feelings.’

Whether she genuinely forgave the Baskervilles or not, only she knew.

“By the way.”

Osiris seemed to recall something and turned his head towards Vikir.

“I didn’t come to see you today just to share these updates.”

He pulled something out of his pocket and presented it to Vikir.

“...What’s this?”

Vikir’s eyes sparkled as he examined the object. Osiris grinned.

“It’s an artifact that was found at the spot where Seth died. I brought it to you since its purpose is unknown.”

When demons die, they drop artifacts. Just like Dantalian dropped the ‘Picaresque Mask.’

Feeling a bit regretful that he couldn’t retrieve it earlier, Vikir held the artifact in his hands.

...Sparkle!

Eventually, a shimmering ring appeared in Vikir’s hand.

[Sacred Invincibility Ring] / Ring

Barrier – Off

Not even Gods can spy on you.

It was a part containing the technique that Andromalius had used as his specialty during his lifetime.

A ring for forming a barrier that created a space so secretive that even the eye of the Rune God couldn’t peer inside.

As soon as he obtained the ring, a familiar phrase echoed in Vikir’s mind.

‘...I’m lucky.’
