The Young Master in the Shadows

Chapter 358: DEVIL DRAGON?

Chapter 358: DEVIL DRAGON?

“You were good!” Elena smiled and said as she watched Lara and the girls enter her VIP balcony with wet towels over their heads, and water bottles in their hands. “Come relax… The movie is about to start…”

“Um!” Lara nodded as she relaxed in a seat next to her mother, followed by the other girls. They were feeling very happy as the crowds cheered for them. This was their debut, and it was a massive success. 

“You were not bad at all…” Kalvin who was sitting next to Elena said with a nod. 

“Thanks, Grandpa…” Lara politely thanked him with a slight blush, then looked around. “Did Esteemed brother come?” she asked.

“Yes… He is in another VIP balcony with his wives…” Elena said, sighing. So did Zoe who was sitting on this balcony with them… She didn’t want to sit with Victor and his wives. The atmosphere they created made her feel uncomfortable. She couldn't tell why.

“The one that is bouncing all around?” Lara asked.

“Bouncing?…” Elena said as she looked at the other balcony… It was truly bouncing going up and down in a light slightly but observable lewd motion. 

WTF? The movie didn’t start and they are already at it!

“It is just like a train…” Stephany commented.

“Yes… They must be having a party there…” Ren said as El nodded. Her Uncle Black’s wooden pig hut used to shake like that sometimes, but whenever she went there to investigate she would get scolded.

“I wonder what they are doing…” another little girl said, not noticing the warning glares Elena was shooting her.

“Ehm… They must be testing the new 5D cinema movie mechanisms there…” George, who realized what Elena was thinking, interjected. “It is a new technology that the family has been promoting throughout its theaters,” 

“Ah… Really?…”Elena asked.

“Yup... Look under the balcony, you can notice the hydraulic pistons moving!” George explained making Elena sigh in relief. She began feeling a little embarrassed. It is not her fault, she married into a family of perverts.

“Can our chamber bounce too?” Lara asked excitedly.

“Yes… But it will do that during the movie when there is some camera shake…” he said. “Just wait and see!” he said, making the girls get a little excited.

“Yin, where are you going?” El suddenly asked as she watched Yin turn to exit the room. “The movie is starting…”

“The Lady’s room…” Yin said as she walked out then turned left and headed toward Victor’s VIP room directly.

There, before she could knock on the door, she heard Victor’s voice from inside.

“Come in…” he said, making her open the door shyly and enter not knowing what scene she should expect.

If the news she held was not very important, she would have never dared to come here at this time.

She kept her eyes on the ground as she walked inside, then slowly lifted her head.

There was nothing lewd inside. They were truly just having fun testing the shake mechanisms. Margret who got the control device was being a little naughty, making the shake follow some perverted rhythms. 

“Young master…” Yin headed to the front and greeted Victor then paused as she looked at him and frowned.

“I have a demonic smell right?” Victor smiled and asked, making the girls frown. Especially Lily and Margret.

She nodded nervously.

“Don’t worry… I seem to have some demonic bloodline that got enhanced when I awakened my bloodline… Try to look at my soul…” he said, sighing. He wanted to hide this from the girls, but seemingly it was hard. So he decided to just not tell them how powerful it was.

Yin frowned, then scanned Victor’s soul. Despite being 100 times shinier than the last time she saw it and having some dark air going around it. It was the same.

“Um…” she nodded as she looked away while closing her eyes… He was too damn shiny.

“You wanted to tell me about Lara right?” he said.

“Um…”

“She also has this demonic bloodline that got activated when I helped her fix her bloodline, but it is at a very low concentration, so you don’t need to worry…” Victor said, reassuring the little girl. “We are still humans with demonic powers…” he joked as Lily squinted her eyes looking at him.

“It is not that…” Yin said. “Something happened one week ago…” 

“What?” Victor asked as he looked at the adjacent balcony, inspecting Lara

“WAH…” Victor shrieked and stood up surprising the girls who stopped caring about the movie that had already started.

“What?” Lily asked. She could tell that Victor’s reaction was genuine.

“Her bloodline had evolved into a Devil Dragon… and the demonic bloodline she had before is gone!” he said. “What happened to her?” he asked Yin again.

“We were in that idiot's Stephany’s house… Her father runs an antique store,” Yin said.

“Yes… I did investigate him,” Victor nodded, remembering what he read about that opportunistic man. “Did she find some strange artifact in his home or something like that?” he asked, raising one eyebrow as he read the comment on her fate… He messed too much with Lara’s fate that it was natural that whatever the world had in plan for her before, it was no longer relevant.

“No… That man only deals in fakes.” Yin shook her little head. “We were just drinking some tea when Lara suddenly fell to the ground… She stood up almost a minute later as if nothing had happened, saying that the tea made her dizzy… It happened the next morning, Lara had a slight fever and didn’t go to school. She got better at noon, but ever since then, the demonic smell around her became a little stronger…” she said. “Her soul is still the same, but has two long black horns now…” she added in a low voice.

“I see… What kind of tea did she drink?” Victor asked.

Yin quickly took the storage ring that was held in a chain around her neck and from inside of it, she took a tin box of very expensive tea that she ‘borrowed’.

Victor frowned looking at the box. It was an old product, probably 20 years old or so, but this kind of Tea is meant to be left to ferment… 

Suddenly he thought of something and Inspected the tea with his skills, but still, he found nothing… It was a completely normal, expensive box of tea. In fact, he knew this type of tea, he even tried it a few times in his previous life, it was very popular among old folks and he remembered that his Grandpa Kalvin had one of those.

“Nothing here…” he said, “Are you sure it is the tea?” he asked Yin.

“Um…” she nodded nervously. “El said that it smelled funny…And she is usually right about such things,” she added.

“Let me have a look…” Lily said, taking the box from Victor’s hand and smelling it. 

“What? Victor asked.

She didn’t answer, but just frowned and closed her eyes as if trying to figure something out before opening her eyes. “It does smell funny…” she said.

“And?”

“Try drinking it…” she told Victor, seemingly not sure.

Victor hesitated, then used the Balcony’s intercom to call for a pot of boiling water that was quickly prepared.

Soon the pot arrived, and Victor prepared a cup of tea before he drank it… It was not a bad tea, but nothing strange happened.

“Nothing hah…” Lily squinted her eyes as she looked at the box. 

“What is your theory?” Victor asked.

“This tea has many herbs… Some of them have some energy fluctuations, they might have been picked from the premises of some dungeon… My guess is that one of them might have interacted with the leftovers of the blood-cleansing pill in Lara's body and caused her two bloodlines to merge… What is the rank of the demonic bloodline in her body?” Lily asked.

“Ah… I am not sure… My identification skill could only see question marks when I appraised it, but I guessed it should have been SS or SSS,” he said.

“How much was its purity?”

“About 2% or 3%...” Victor tried hard to remember.

“Oh… Then my guess is probably right… This weak bloodline must have been swallowed by the strong one under the effects of the drugs, causing a mutation…” Lily explained. “You need to make Hana examine those things… And tell Kai to investigate this tea company!”

“Indeed…” Victor said, looking at Yin. “You did good! Make sure to monitor Lara and report if anything strange happens, hopefully, this would be good for her!” he said. Although he was a little worried about Lara after this upgrade, he could do nothing to revert it. His best course of action was now to keep monitoring her.

“Um…” Yin nodded.

“And your singing was good too…  Keep up the good work and soon you will be a big star!“ he added, making Yin blush then bow politely and walk out.

“That girl is really good… I am sure she will get prettier as she grows up,” Lily said as she watched Yin leave. “Are you planning to add her to your harem?” she asked.

“Who knows… I will leave that choice to her!” he said as he stood up and then headed to the door.

“Where are you going?” Mina asked. Like the rest of the girls, She wanted to enjoy a peaceful movie night with Victor.

“Call of nature… This fucking tea is more effective than I expected…” he chuckled.

“Do you want us to join you later?” Margret asked lewdly.

“Just enjoy the movie… We will have plenty of time later!” he sighed shaking his head as he walked out and headed to the VIP restroom. He needed to find some time to take the girls on a date separately.

It took him a few minutes to do his business and walk out to wash his hands and happen to bump into a young man who apologized and then hurried into one of the cubicles.

The way he looked at Victor was very strange, making Victor pause and use his appraisal skill.

Nothing strange other than the guy’s strength… Nah… taking too many steroids can cause this.

Victor sighed as he walked out of the rest room where he almost bumped into someone. It was Mina who was waiting for him… Or was it Mana?

“Couldn’t wait ha?” he asked with a lewd smile.

“No… I couldn’t…” she said very coldly as he appraised her to make sure which of the twins she was.

“What the f*ck….” Victor asked in shock just as he felt someone behind him pull a black sack over his head and then something hit his stomach.

He could only smell the potent sedative as he collapsed to the ground moments later.
