The Young Master in the Shadows

Chapter 335: Moon Gate

Chapter 335: Moon Gate

Zoe was in total shock after she finished eating the pill the cock spat at her… In the last 30 minutes, she had no idea what happened.

First Victor invited her to his mansion, citing some great opportunity.

Feeling that Victor would definitely not harm her, and maybe wanting to see him again, she accepted his invitation. She had an intuition that it had something to do with the moon!

Her first shock was Victor himself. How the hell did he become more charming? Are married men really more handsome than others? Was she that kind of a woman?

She quickly forgot about her stupid thoughts when Victor grabbed her hand and dragged her into the basement of his mansion, wanting to show her his giant cock!

She had no idea why she went along… Maybe because he was holding her hand. 

After what happened in the Skeleton dungeon, where he showed his courage facing that demon and saved her life, she seemed to have begun to trust Victor a lot!

She had one thought in mind though, if Victor were to try anything funny, she would leave immediately and then report him to his father!

What happened next was beyond her wildest imagination.

 In the basement, he stood in shock as she looked at the giant Rooster that was waiting for her! Victor’s giant cock!

She blushed thinking she misunderstood Victor earlier… damn it. He was definitely doing this on purpose! No wonder everyone called him a pervert. Why couldn’t he act like a gentleman?

Damn it! He fooled her!

After that, the rooster, who was seemingly busy arranging some female underwear according to some incomprehensible logic, agreed to give some of its precious time to her after Victor promised him some benefits and told him that more girls would be arriving later!

Was he really talking to that cock? Zoe had no idea!

After that, Victor took a drop of blood from her finger using a needle and then fed it to the rooster, who licked the blood with relish and then began to crow in a perverted way before he spat a red pill as on its head a purplish gold feather grew like a new leaf.

Victor quickly told her to eat the pill as he shoved it in her mouth… She had no choice but to swallow… Then she felt it. It was as if every part of her body began to hurt. This only lasted five minutes though, as the pain soon faded and a new sense of energy began to spread in her body!

According to Victor, her bloodline was upgraded, and he made her promise not to tell anyone, not even the family!

Why was he keeping this a secret from the family?

She was not stupid, of course, she realized that he was building his own force!

“Why are you spacing out?” Victor asked as he finally let go of her hand.

“Ah… Nothing…” she said, shaking her head.

“Let’s go, the girls are waiting for us!” Victor said as he led her inside the Gym building.

Once Inside, the first thing Zoe noticed was that the gym’s retractable roof was slid open, and the blood moon was visible through the opening. 

“Is this about the moon?” Zoe asked as she walked in.

“Yes…” Victor said as he moved forward to meet with the others who seemed to be ready.

Lily, Lin, and Alex were standing there waiting while dressed in full gear. They looked like some kind of soldiers… Wait, didn’t Alex die at the wedding? And why does he look more charming like some male model?

Damn it! She even shed a tear for him! This must have been one of her cousin’s schemes! Uncle Falcon was right, Victor was a fox disguised as a pervert!

“Listen up!” Victor said as he gave the distracted Zoe two huge camping bags.  One was filled with camping equipment and the other was empty.

“The moon dungeon that we are about to enter is not normal! Artifacts don’t work there, so if you have any weapons or pills, put them in the bag!” he said as he put them in his bag.

Zoe opened her eyes wide, then quickly began to unload her ring in the bag before putting one on her back, and carrying the other with her hand.

“Can I not go, young master?” Alex, who was begging not to go for the last 30 minutes, asked again. 

“No!” Victor shook his head. “Now… The moon dungeon is not natural, but an artificial S or SS-ranked dungeon. Long ago it was meant to be a trial by blood for some sect that is long dead.”

“Oh…” Zoe nodded.

“This dungeon is composed of many levels, like a maze inside a tower. The only way to clear it is when someone reaches the top! It is like some cheap video game plot!” Victor said, “But don’t let the fact of it being a trial fool you! This place is very dangerous!” he said. He was not really worried about Zoe who was a scion, but about Lin and Lily.

“We can’t leave until it is cleared?” Zoe asked.

“Not exactly… There are only three ways to leave before the trial is cleared! The first one is getting killed! Unlike normal dungeons, Your corpse would be ejected outside, this is how most of the people inside would leave.” he said. The girls nodded. "Take note to make sure that if you kill anyone to make it that it is not traceable to you!" he added.

Zoe frowned. Why did he just sound like some mafia boss?

“The second method is collecting 3 jade tablets inside, you can use them to leave immediately in case of emergency!” Victor said ignoring Zoe's gazes. “And the final way is when the gate opens again next month!” he added.

“Every level has different rules?” Zoe asked.

“Yes… sadly, I am not sure about them…” he said, “Butt I can tell you, that on the first level, there would be a jade tablet hidden under the first step, so make sure to take it, it will save your life!”

“First step? How do you know about all this?”

“That’s irrelevant! You will know when you see it! But it is vital to get it!” Victor said, warning again. “If my guess is correct, Although we are early, there will be many others inside, coming from other places and continents, from hidden families and secret sects who have the old records! So be careful and wear a mask to hide your face and identity! You don't want those guys coming for you with their armies once you exit!” Victor said, pointing to a mask at the side of the bag.

“Oh…” Zoe nodded as she looked at the girls, who had their masks ready on their necks. They must have been briefed before. “What if we encountered some old player who comes from one of those sects?” Zoe asked.

“Don’t worry… There is an age limit, only those below 25 can enter!” he said, looking a little worried.

 “Oh!” Zoe said. 

“Now let’s go!” Victor said. “It’s about time!”

“Where?” Zoe asked. Did they need to fly?

“There!” Victor said, pointing to the swimming pool, it was filled to the brim with the huge bloody moon reflected on its clear surface! Wait… The symbol was there, but it was not a mirror image!

“This is the gate?” Zoe asked.

“Yes… It might take the others a month to discover it, and hopefully, we would have secured all the benefits by then!” he said as he approached the gate.

“Can I not go?” Alex asked nervously for the hundredth time.

“No!” Victor replied. “Do I really have to repeat this? Just make sure to hide your identity inside! Don’t tell anyone your real background or where you come from!” he said as he prepared to jump then paused, turned, and grabbed Alex’s arm.

“What?” Alex asked nervously.

“Good luck!” he said then threw the poor jinx who was considering her escape route into the gate head first!

Alex disappeared the moment she hit the water’s surface without making a splash. It was as if there was a gate there!.

“It’s working!” Victor nodded, then jumped after a moment of hesitation. He disappeared too.

Lily sighed in relief and then looked at Zoe and Lin. "A word of advice, if you see a rabbit inside, run and hide as your life depends on it!" she said as she adjusted her mask and then jumped.

Lin nodded to Zoe, then quickly followed, disappearing into the gate.

"Does Alex and Victor know about the rabbit thing?" Zoe, who was left alone asked herself then bit her lip and jumped.

…

In the middle of a desolate field covered with ice in the far north, a group of disciples stood as the elder threw a ton of fireballs on the frozen lake to melt the ice.

It took him 30 Minutes to make a decent-sized hole and then look at the moon, making sure it was reflected on the water.

“Now go!” the elder said. “Remember to hunt for benefits! This is our chance to rise again! The lords had heard our prayer!”

The disciples nodded then one by one jumped into the lake!

…

In the center of a jungle, a group of dark-skinned lightly dressed men finished digging a hall in no time, then started filling it with water.

“Remember!” an old woman said. “You must get the moon bead! Our ancestors failed 5000 years ago and this must never happen again!”

“For the tribe's glory!” the men yelled.

…

In the middle of a grand ocean, an old man looked at the moon reflected on the seawater.

“Should we go?” a woman behind him asked.

“Send some of the new ones…” he said. “And give each of them a soul bottle…”

“Oh… Understood!”

…

In the middle of a forest. A lone girl took off her clothes to take a bath under the moonlight.

The second her feet touched the moon’s reflection she disappeared!

…

In a silver palace that floated in the middle of nothingness, a young man with long white hair opened his eyes and frowned.

“My lord!” a woman appeared out of nowhere and bowed as if she was summoned by his thoughts. “Are your hemorrhoids acting again Master? Shall I invite the healer?” she asked.

“No…” he said dismissively. “Call my daughter, and tell her there is a new chance for her to redeem herself… To get me the moon tear! “

“I understand!”

“Tell her that this is the last chance that I will give her! No mercy if she fails!” he said squinting his eyes. “And call the healer on your way out!” he added. Sitting on a throne made of hell steel for a long time comes with a price!

…

In a grand hotel on the side of a grand city, a very fat young man was enjoying his time in his infinity pool, surrounded by A to C-tier slutty models.

“Young master!” one of them said. “Look what I found!” she said, taking out his floral-decorated swimming trunks from the water. She took it off him a few minutes ago with the help of her friends, and they needed a few minutes to catch their breath before they continued with their play.

He didn’t mind. He knew most of those bitches were after his money, but he didn’t mind. That’s the way he liked relationships. All clear!

Too bad he could only become a semi-player, unlike his lousy little brother who was set to inherit the family after becoming a player with the help of some young master from the oligarchs!

Damn, those Von Zwei! The patriarch's seat was supposed to be his as the elder brother!

He struck the water with his fist, scaring the girls away. 

That’s when he noticed it. The bloody moon reflects on the water.

It was right in front of him….

He touched it. 

The next moment the young master disappeared, leaving some naked models alone gasping in shock. Where did their money daddy go?
