The Young Master in the Shadows

Chapter 503: TOMIFICATION

“Already finished with her?” Margret, who lay in bed waiting for her husband, asked as soon as he entered the room.

“Yeah…”

“I didn’t take you for the type who finishes that fast… Did you contract some STD out there… Ouch…”

Victor pinched her cheek. “Let me show you what I learned….” he said as she pushed her down, then kissed her deeply.

…

They finished 34 minutes later.

“8 out of 10…” Margret, who was blushing and breathing heavily, said as they finally lay to rest.

“You are pregnant, I have to be careful!" Victor replied casually.

“Did you learn that ear technique from the elves?”

“Yeah… I found it in a book that belonged to some stupid alchemist, who knew he had an entire library full of stuff like this… Due to their long and sensitive ears, they seem to have developed some very unique aspects in their sexual culture!” he said as he took out the book and threw it to her.

“Damn… It’s in Elvish…” she said as she lazily opened it, then flipped it around as if trying to figure out which direction to begin reading from.

“Since when people read those kinds of books… Look at the pictures…”

“I disagree… If you keep to the pictures, you will be missing a lot!” She said, “I should really learn Elvish…” she added as she flipped through the book.

“I will let one of the elf girls teach you…” He sighed. Nothing helped with learning a foreign language like an interest in the media written in it. Especially adult media! He himself, for example, only learnt Elvish because of the pestering of that Elven princess.

“Elf girls?” Margret raised one eyebrow as she turned to look at him.

“Aha… Halfelves, but it's the same...”

“In your cauldron?”

“Yup… For emergencies…”

“...” Margret just rolled her eyes, not caring to ask what kind of emergencies. Knowing him, it was obvious.

“...”

“What happened with Alpha?” Margret finally said, changing the subject as she put the book in her storage ring, deciding to study it later. “Did she really tell you everything?” she asked.

“She can’t lie… She can hide a few things, though, but those can be extracted at any time…”

“Wait… Are you going to spare her?” Margret pouted as she glared at him.

“Still annoyed about what she did?” he asked as he pinched her cheek again.

“Yeah… I never trusted her, but now… I wouldn’t even let her tie my shoe!”

“I don’t trust her either, that’s why I am taking most of her rights for now… Let Camelia handle the Fragrant shadow instead. Louise will accompany me as a maid from now on!”

“What! That’s a reward, not a punishment!” Margret complained as she pinched her perverted husband’s waist. “Her awakened blood red hair must have really charmed you, didn’t it?”

“Ehm… It is something else… Don’t worry, she will not be the only one serving me…”

“Ah! You plan to slowly cook her with jealousy?”

“That girl needs a pressure cooker to get tender. I am going to try many things…”

“And if she ends up getting burnt?”

“ I will just scrape her off the cooker and eat her as is… I don’t discriminate!” he licked his lips.

“He… he…” Magret chuckled as she turned toward him and wrapped her hand around his neck. “What did she tell you?”

“Things… many things, combined with what I learnt from the other world… Our plans might need to change!” he sighed. “In the worst-case scenario, we might have to stop the world domination plan and just find a corner to hide….”

“Is it that severe?” she frowned.

“Yeah….” he sighed .” It’s a long story involving supreme cosmic powers, a time traveler, a 1000-year loop, some kind of a huge scam, stupid fights, and a legal loli!” he sighed.

“...Oh… Margret’s eyes contracted, hearing him. “A loli? Did you finally go that low and cross the final barrier?”

“A legal Loli!” He corrected her as he slapped her thigh. “She was the one who filled me in about some stuff that poor Louise had no idea about!”

“Hsssssssssssss…. Margret gasped and then began to giggle. “Is she also in your cauldron?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.

“Sadly, no… She is too hazardous to keep for now, so I had to let her go…” he sighed in regret. “Not for long though!”

“I see…” Margret shook her head. “So Lily’s theorem about Mona being from another timeline was correct after all!” she said.

“Yeah…” He sighed. "Hopefully it is the same one we are talking about, I don’t want to mess with a multiple timelines scenario… It would make things too complicated!”

“Can you tell me what you know, or is it too dangerous?” she asked. After what happened with Alpha earlier, she became a little wary.

“...” he hesitated. “As long as I withhold some things, it should be fine… It will take some time, though…”

“We have all night, unless you plan to go for round two…” she said as her hand began to trace his muscular chest.

“Let’s just do both!” he asked as he held her hand, pulled it over her head, and pushed her down. “It all started with a bitch that we should call SL… Wait... I think I should explain what lords are first....”

“Rosette! Please forgive me… It is not what it appears to be!” Theodore, who had a visible slap mark on his face, fell to his knees in front of a mysterious woman and begged for forgiveness.

This was the first thing Mike saw when he arrived at his father’s mansion after being summoned by George, who stood there at the mansion’s entrance with his head down. He seemed to have tried to say something earlier, but was scolded into submission.

“What’s going on here?” Alice, who arrived a moment later, asked her shocked brother.

“I have no idea….”

“It is just your stupid father finally paying for his bad habits!” someone interrupted Mike, making both him and Alice turn back in shock as they didn’t even feel the newcomer appear behind them.

She was a tall blond woman, dressed in a loose business suit that made her look like some bigshot female CEO who was to party after a rough day.

“You…”

“MASTER!” Alice exclaimed. "Weren't you in seclusion?”

Mike paused… This woman was Alice’s master? The one who was reportedly more than 300 years old?

“Seclusion? Who the fuck said that… I was just busy training my new toy, but I got some news that I had to let go and hurry here… Look, I didn’t even get to change!” the blond woman said, turning to look at Rosette, who in turn seemed to have finally noticed her.

“Grandma!” Rosette exclaimed as she kicked poor Theodore away, then hurried and hugged the blond woman.

“Rosette… Thank goodness you are ok!” the blond woman said with a touch of fondness. “Thank goodness you are fine!” she added as she began to brush Rosette’s hair tenderly.

“Um….” Rosette’s eyes began to tear up as she hugged her grandmother harder. It was as if she returned to being a little girl.

“Lady Divinerose, if I may… Why don’t we go inside and continue this reunion? “George kindly whispered.

“Yes… Madam Serina, why don’t we all go inside?” Theodore said as he slowly stood up, dusting his clothes while glaring at his son and daughter. He didn’t notice them before… “Ariana is here too, and it is about time we hear their story…”

The blond woman, Serina Divinerose, thought for a moment, then, looking at her granddaughter, she nodded. “Let’s go inside…” She paused, turning to look aside for a moment, before walking right inside with Rosette, who purposely decided to ignore Theodore for now.

Mike and Alice thought for a moment, then silently followed.

“You saw nothing earlier…” Their father's whisper came right behind them!

“... We have just arrived!” Mike said as Alice nodded, not daring to look at their father, they hurried inside.

“Master…” George hesitated

“Save it…” Theodore sighed, then followed.

Three moments after they left, three little girls walked out from behind a tree as a strange barrier dissolved. Lara, Yin, and El!

“Was that woman the demon?” Lara asked, worried about her father, who was humiliated in front of her. Could it be that she used some kind of magic to charm him?

“Not that one… It is inside!” Yin responded as she felt the strange aura around the mansion.

“Then…”

“Young Lady Lara…” Someone suddenly said, startling the three little girls.

“Ah… George… How… Since when…” Lara asked as she looked at the door, then at George, who had supposedly walked inside but now was standing in front of her.

“Lady Divinerose is inviting you to join them inside…” he said, gesturing to the door.

“Lady…”

“She is Alice’s master! Serina Divinerose. A supreme elder from the Heavenly sect. Be very respectful to her… “ he said. “That woman who was with your father is her granddaughter, and also your father’s old girlfriend!” he bowed a little and whispered.

“Ah… Oh…”

“And the demon young lady felt might be her daughter….” he explained, nodding to Yin. “Now come on, let’s go, they are about to begin their story….” he said, glancing at El before turning to go inside again. If not for Serina’s warning, he would have never noticed those little girls at all!

El’s power was making even someone like him wonder what kind of powerhouse she would become when she grew up!

“SHIT!” Margret, who finished round 5 and lay in bed, cursed. “So in the end, we are really at the bottom of the food chain!” she exclaimed as Victor finally finished telling her what he knew. He had to stop a few times to use his tongue for other things, so the story took some time to finish.

“Yeah… We are screwed!” he said as he lay beside her, brushing her hair with his fingers.

“I don’t think that,” Margaret said after a moment of thinking. “According to what we know… Our time loop should be the most recent, so, technically, we still have an edge as we already know the final result from your future!”

“Good point, but still, there are many variables and hidden elements… My earlier assumptions built on what I knew were completely wrong… This world is not as chaotic as I first suspected… There are scams in scams!” he confessed.

“Yeah… SL’s death is super sus…”

“And our actions might have already begun to change things, Mona, for example…” he added.

“Oh… We should find a way to get some info from that girl!" Margret said. Mona definitely knew something about the other timeline!

"Yeah..."

"Besides that, what should we do now? Stop everything?” she frowned.

“No…As before, we still need to make sure to lessen the damage of the Reckoning…!” he sighed. “Let’s stay low and wait… “

“Going any lower, we would literally be ending up underground!”

“We have no choice for now…” he sighed. “We should take our time and remap what we know about all the world's forces.”

“Yeah…”

“I will be acting alone in the next period. If my guess is correct, the Jade dungeon after the tournament might hold some of the secrets we want!” he said. He would decide what to do after figuring everything out. Mainly, what was the Spirit Empress's master plan? And whether she was a friend or a foe!

“You were planning to go there from the beginning.”

“Yeah… My list of objectives for going there is just getting bigger…”

“So it is still Vic?”

“Yeah, I might take Lin along, since I can disguise her using my skill!” he pondered. “She will also take a role that I planned for you…” He sighed as he rested his hand on her stomach.

“I am already getting jealous…”

“We also need to go visit her family’s grounds on our way there to get a few things…”

“Ah… That von Rosen accident, was it our thing?” she quickly interrupted.

“Yeah… You will see later…” he chuckled.“You got it? “Yeah… Just need to go get it out!

“COOL!” Margret said as her eyes began to sparkle.

"How big?“

"Huge… “

"Then, would Alpha…”

“Don’t even think about it!” Victor smacked her perverted head. If what she wanted were to happen, Alpha would become broken beyond repair!

“How is Zolan doing?” He asked me to change the subject.“I already hired her… She works really fast, but it will take her two months to finish the main frame of the Mana-powered computer; our sex robots plans would take ages at this rate, let alone the flying ship…” she sighed. The thought that Zolan would figure it out quickly, but reality was cruel…“Don’t worry, she will figure it out sooner or later… The robots would have to wait, though. I have something else in mind… It is something that I have been working toward ever since I returned to this timeline, and I was even going to entrust it to Lily when it’s ready, but…” he hesitated.

“Something wrong with Lily?”

“Not with her in particular… But my fate connecting to her has problems… Don’t worry about that,” he said, looking at the golden threads in his vision. “The trouble in her family might be far beyond what we first expected!” he sighed.

“... I don’t understand…” she frowned. She knew he was hiding something from her. But knowing him, she decided not to dig deeper.

“It’s complicated, I don’t want you to think about this stuff for now…” he said. He didn’t want to tell Margret about the strange fate threads for now. Her fate with him was a normal one, so it wouldn’t really concern her. “Anyway… After seeing the other lords were scheming around, I discovered that I am really limiting myself by my lack of imagination… My initial plan’s scale was completely wrong!“ he said.

“... I am not following … What plan are we talking about?” Margret sat up and looked at him.

“I call it TOMIFICATION… I was planning to keep it for a select few, but now, the scale will be the entire world!”

“Tom…” Margret frowned. ”Wait… You mean….Hssssssss………….. ”

“Yup…” he nodded. Margret was one of the few who could read his mind this fast. No need to explain it to her. Just the name was sufficient! “I want you to oversee the entire thing!” he said after some hesitation.

“This…. This will be very dangerous… What if we got discovered!”

“Looking at the world node, I already know how to set it up so no one would be able to trace it!”

“Oh… You plan to use that edict shard?”

“Yes… With the cauldron!” Victor nodded. This girl can really follow quickly. “It will cost me a fortune to reprogram it, but I have all the required [Skills].”

“Can it handle it?”

“It should... We just need the Mana computer Zolan is working on for it to work, in addition to a few other elements that I mostly know where to find…”

“Oh…”

“Any questions?”

“You will operate it?”

“No… As I said before, you will be the supervisor with Elise, maybe, and we can let the little girls do the rest!”

“Possible! The time frame for completion?” Margret asked as her eyes began to sparkle, thinking about the possibilities.

The initial run should be completed by the time I reach the heavenly sect,” he pondered. “Using that, we would be able to make sure that we will survive any future surprises at the very least!”
