Chapter 273: Puppets?

Chapter 273: Puppets?

Victor casually took out three treasuries from his ring and put them on the table as Lily, who was still on his lap, watched.

“Are those from the dungeon, young master?”

“Yup, I got a good dog to fetch them for me!” Victor said as he drooled. He had other things too, but they were not as precious as those!

“What are those?” Lily asked as she took a handkerchief and carefully wiped his mouth.

“First of all!” Victor said as he held a black little box, about an inch tall. “This is called the Light Eater Box. It is an S-ranked Artifact. When this box opens, it absorbs all the light in the area around it, leaving it pitch-black! Even with a strong flashlight, you would only be able to see two feet ahead!” He said, “Its range depends on how much energy you can supply it! On the 6th floor of the dungeon, this was used as a part of an array to cause the entire floor to grow very dark!” he added.

Too bad that stupid greedy dog didn’t stop to study the formation below it as he destroyed everything to snatch the treasure very quickly. The whimsical system had no time to warn him.

Victor still managed to get a glimpse of it though, but he would need time to study it and maybe fill any damaged parts.

“Oh... can I have it?” Lily asked with a pleading look. This thing would help her to kill and castrate a lot of poor souls.

“Yes... but be careful though, if the area you are trying to block is too bright, this thing would not work, it might even be damaged because of all the energy it would be absorbing!” Victor warned as he gave it to Lily. “Don’t use it now! I don’t want to alarm the entire mansion!” he scolded when he saw her try to open it.

“Ahhh... sorry...” she said as she put the box in her storage ring. She would try it later to startle the sh*t out of Margret.

“Next we have this!” Victor said as he grabbed a jade key. “This is the second one I have got!” he said, taking out the one he grabbed from Sebastian earlier and putting them together. They were very similar except for the symbol on its head. Each symbol represents a number. Victor got numbers 4(Sebastian’s), and 177(Tom’s). Victor was not sure what those meant though.

“What does this open?” Lily asked.

“A door obviously...” he answered, making her pout a little. “Don’t worry about it... In the right time, you will know! “ he added, rubbing her hair. It was too early to tell the girls about the Jade Gate, he would have time for that after the tournament.

Lily frowned, but could only hold her curiosity for now.

“Finally, is this!” Victor said, showing Lily a block of silvery metal. He looked at it with very greedy eyes and drooled again. This thing was inside the casket of the lich king. The casket was scrapped but this didn’t even get a scratch.

“Will you tell me what this is?” Lily asked. She was still pouting.

“If I do, you will take it away from me!” he said, carefully caressing the block as if it was a naked girl.

“I promise I won’t...” she said casually. She was beginning to really suspect the possibility that her young master did suffer from some brain damage in the dungeon; he got blown away by a lot of explosions lately. She would love him regardless though.

“This is called Hell Iron. It’s not iron though, but people use that name for it. As its name implies, it is a type of metal that only appears in Hell... the main world of the demons!” Victor said. “It is super rare! This metal block is extra large.”

“What can it be used for?” Lily asked. “Is it like those very strong fantasy metals in stories?” She was tempted to take it from him.

“Not exactly, it is strong, but there are much stronger metals. This one is special, it .....”

Suddenly, a knock on the door startled him.

“Come in!” he said before a pretty girl in red pajamas walked in. It was none other than Margret who seemed to be quite awake.

“Good morning!” She said as closed the door behind her. She casually inspected Lily’s ambiguous position as she walked in then sat on a chair near the desk stretching her legs on the coffee table to the side.

Then he froze.

His mind simply stopped responding as he began to drool.

There was a mounting of Hell iron bricks in there, not to mention the other random treasures and carcasses of demonic beasts. It would take him days to sort those things out.

Margret did tell him she got a treasure, but this was not just a treasure, but an entire vault of treasures.

Victor’s astonished look made Lily frown.

“How much metal did Margret get you?” Lily asked pressing her lips to his ears,

“Ah.... " her soft breath woke him up, but he didn't know how to answer.

"About a mountain.... I would need you to pay cash...” Margret, who was very interested, interjected. Demanding her reward. She didn’t give him those for free! She also wanted her private army of puppets.

“Don’t worry, I will give you a few puppets when they are finished...” Victor said after swallowing. He really wanted to hug and kiss her now, but Lily, who was hugging him, made this impossible.

“Not enough!” Margret flatly rejected.

“Fine, you can have Alex too.....”

“NOooooo, keep that jinx to yourself.... How about this, keep those things for now, and I will gain the right to ride you any time I want!” she said after thinking, causing Lily to gasp in shock as she looked at Victor and awaited his answer.

“Fine! I would even give you my chastity for it... But you have to take care not to upset anyone who is watching!” Victor said, making Lily pinch her young master's thigh very hard, not realizing that the two perverts were not only teasing her but talking in code. Margret had just told him that she would be using the finances in her hand more freely, and Victor responded by telling her that she could do that, but she had to be extra careful!

“Do you plan to make an army of puppets now?” Lily asked finally after discovering that her feeble strength was not affecting her young master at all!

She has just imagined Vector laughing like a maniac in a sea of s*x robots.

“With the amount Margret got me, it would be a waste. There would be some robots, but I want to build something better... I will tell you about it when I finish the plans...” he said mysteriously.

“What’s better than an army of s*x robots? Does such a thing exist?” Margret asked with a mischievous smile, but Victor didn’t reply, he only smiled mysteriously.

What he was planning to build was something that even after the Reckoning, was deemed impossible because of the enormous cost!... But before the reckoning, there was a bug that he could exploit. He really needed a good mana engineer though, and he had no idea where to get one. Even after the reckoning, those guys were hard to find. Let alone that. The Mana transfer theory he needed has not been discovered...yet? ..... Yes! Can’t he just get that scientist who established that theory? But....

“Is she a girl?” Lilt suddenly asked.

“What? Who?”

“The one you were thinking about just now...” she coldly spat as Margret squinted her eyes.

“Yes...” Victor confessed before looking at Margret. “Margret, I will need you to travel to the Orange Pearl Islands, there... create a ship construction company, and buy a certain laboratory....”

“Oh... Ship construction? That means a shipyard.... And a laboratory? What is it for?” Margret asked, “Is this urgent?”

“Yes, the earlier the better... I would need this for the future. Do it under a shell company, It should have nothing to do with me...” he said. “And make sure that a scientist who goes by the name Zolan is there! If not, hire her!” he added with a complex look, making Lily sigh in relief. It seemed that this Zolan girl was ugly, otherwise, Victor would have decided to go there himself!Reêad latest novels at novelhall.com
