Chapter 272: Mission

Chapter 272: Mission

It was a couple of hours before dawn when Victor finally reached his mansion. That bastard Tom sure knew how to run, but the Nutcracker caught with him eventually. No one could escape from his clutches.

Victor casually greeted the two chicks dressed in suits who were guarding the front gate then walked in.

He noticed that there were quite a few cement bags here and there in the front yard, proof of recent construction works. It seemed like Hilda had already started renovating the basement.

Entering the mansion, Victor was immediately assaulted by Lily who was of course the only one waiting for him. She hugged him hard.

“Did the girls sleep?” Victor asked after he dragged his body and hers which were now glued onto him to the study. He just threw himself on the leather chair and relaxed. He was utterly exhausted.

“Um... They were tired after all the stuff that happened in the dungeon and the interrogation yesterday. Hilda wanted to wait for you, but I told her to go get some sleep,” Lily said as she adjusted herself on his lap as if this was the most natural thing to do. She put her head on his chest, relaxing to the sound of his heartbeats. She was feeling very frustrated because she wasn't of any help in the dungeon. That vixen Lin was more helpful than her. Even that idiot Alex played a role!

“He will be questioned later, but as long as there is no evidence, no one can pin anything on him... Now, about the dungeon.... Are you ok?”

“Yes, perfectly fine.... One of my maids lost a hand, but that’s it....”

“That's a very good result for an S dungeon, you guys were lucky Zoe was there... Did you level up?”

“Yes, I am now at 33!”

“I see.... WHAT! Sh*t! Even you? Zoe is already at 45!” Theodore was shocked. He was currently at level 57, but when he was Victor’s age he was only at level 14 or 15... He was not sad though, he was extra glad. Victor had proved to be as good as Mike who was at level 40 the last time he checked, and Alice was at level 37. He was suspecting that this had something to do with Elina as his sons from his other wives were still at level 20! Maybe he should try to get another child with her....

“Yeah, I got lucky!” Victor, who didn’t know what his perverted father was thinking, replied.

“Lucky my ass! You just rubbed some of Zoe’s luck. Did you get any good loot?”

“Yes...”

“Good, keep it a secret!” Theodore said, “Unfortunately, the von Zwei had put their hands on the dungeon. Seemingly they owned the land around it, but didn’t know it!” he said with a sigh.

“I see...” Victor squinted his eyes, this definitely had something to do with that necromancer, Gustave.

“Now, according to the regulation, I will need you to come to the family island for an assessment to mark your progress. But you can do that after the wedding.... Maybe at your grandmother’s wedding... ”

“Wasn’t it canceled?” Victor asked.

“We will be doing a small gathering... nothing major. The elders can’t stop this...”

“I understand, I will be there. Anything else?”

“Yes... As you might know, your cousin Titus used to be the manager of Vein city. That position has been transferred to you after his incident. The procedure with the council had been finalized three days ago. So you need to do missions for the council and the family as the manager of Vein city from now on!”

“Oh right... I almost forgot about that... '' Victor frowned, this was a little troublesome.

“Good, most of those things are random and can be delegated to your men... I sent Kai the details, just call him and ask...”

“I will...”

“Now... there was something else.... I already prepared the wedding venue in the white grand hotel. This is an important family so it would be managed by the family. Just make sure to pass by and check if things are to your liking.”

“I understand....” Victor nodded and then said goodbye to his father before ending the call.

“Is everything ok, young master?” Lily asked.

“More trouble...” he said as he called Kai who took a while to answer.

“Young master....” Kai yawned. He was asleep.

“Are there any missions for me?” Victor asked directly.

“Ah yes... There were three... two of them were just routine checks, which have already been fixed remotely by me. The last one is a little troublesome. It comes from the council... I will send it to you directly...” Kai said.

“Ok... Good... anything else?”

“No...”

Victor hung out directly and then looked at the message Kai sent.

COUNCIL MISSION / RANK E / URGENT

LOCATION: WIREN PRINCIPALITY, VEIN CITY

JURISDICTION: VEIN / VON WEISE

MANAGER : VON WEISE, VICTOR (ELITE)

On 24/6 there was an incident in the slums of vein city. 9 Men aged 17~21 were burnt alive. Their initial tests suggest the use of otherworldly {Electric energy} with an unknown signature.

Witnesses had sighted a girl running away in the perimeter.

No security footage was recorded due to the location’s circumstances.

Suspected, unregistered players with a power level of 15.

MISSION:

Identify and Locate the rogue player.

INTEGRATE OR ELIMINATE.

The PLAYER’S COUNCIL,

PLAYERS MANAGEMENT,

Players' crimes office.

Director:

Azana TripleGold

Victor frowned as he showed the message to Lily.

“Let me do it...” she said. She wanted to prove herself.

“No... I will do this myself...” he said... Lily was not suitable for such missions.

The players' council usually left the mission to uphold the rules and the ‘status of secrecy’ to the managing players in the areas where they don’t have a local office. So there was nothing strange about this request.

When players got discovered, the council usually would send someone to register them and explain the rules to them. After that, if they were deemed powerful, they would usually offer them a chance to join one of the powers. They can’t force them though, this was one of the rules of the council.

In fact, this was how many family heirs built their focus. They found those loose awakened players and then offered them a lot of benefits, 'employing' them into their own teams... The same way Victor 'employed' Margret initially.

The only exception to this was when newly awakened players commit crimes using their powers or undermining the "Status Of Secrecy" that the Council supervised. In that case, they would lose their freedom, and he would only have two choices, to join one of the families or get wiped out! This case was a good example of such circumstances.

Victor had never heard about this in his previous life, as he was just a random pawn at this period of time. But the words ‘electrical energy’ reminded him of a certain incident that would happen about 4 months from now. It was a massive blackout during a thunderstorm. Back then he remembered accidentally meeting his father who was in town. Theodore was injured back then, but he said nothing when Victor asked him about it. Could it have something to do with this?

No matter what, he planned to see to this in a couple of days when he went to check on the wedding venue. He was too lazy for this now.

Today he just wanted to relax and check his loot!
