The Young Master in the Shadows

Chapter 11: The Results (3)

Looking around, Victor could see that the one who screamed was a girl from a branch family, the boy next to her collapsed on her lap with blood rushing out of his mouth, he seemed to be her servant. maybe there was something more between them. He noticed them before as they were with him on the yacht.

This was not the only case, but the others were more composed when they saw the dead bodies of people with whom they have just had a drink. While there were some noises, They did not dare make much ruckus.

Only about 60% percent of the participants survived. and by family standards, this was a very good result, as can be seen from the elders’ big smiles.

Victor was very surprised to see his cousin Ron has survived when he should have been dead. He did not appear to be in a good mood though. He should only be a semi-PLAYER. As for the reason why, who knows, maybe he was too stimulated when Victor was cuddling Lily on his lap earlier, that his bloodline awakened a little.

His return has already started to change things, his predictions will not as be as accurate in the future, but he long expected such results and did not care.

Looking for Guy he found him dead on the floor, “Oh, not bad. Looks like my guess was correct,” he thought. He turned to the left and Looked at Lily who was looking at him with a worshiping gaze, “Oh, she survived too.”

Before he could say anything, the elder knocked on the floor with his cane, making the hall go silent once more.

“Now, I want to congratulate you all for completing the ritual, form now on you are real members of the Von Weise family. All of you should be able to see your status window on the edge of your vision, try looking at it and it will come into focus. Only players can to interact with it, as for semi-players they would only be able observe it. On it you can see your current attributes. I want you to keep all these attributes a secret for now. After the evaluation you would be told what you can reveal. Now, stand up orderly and follow my assistant to the side hall then wait for your names to be called.” He said.

The assistant was a fat middle-aged man in white robes, he was standing next to the elder so he bowed down a little to everyone, then turned around and headed toward the exit, and the participants including victor had to follow him quickly.

While heading outside the hall, Victor looked at his father who was standing with the other elder. Their eyes met. Theodore smiled and nodded to Victor, he seemed relieved by his son’s survival.

Victor nodded back then turned and continued to follow the others. At the same time, many maids entered the hall and started cleaning up the bodies of the unfortunate participants.

…

Reaching the waiting hall everyone was surprised, this time there were seats and tables prepared for all the participants, even the servants, although their social status has not changed, their position in the family is now different, and they would probably be promoted later.

Sitting at a table for two, Victor ordered Lily to sit on his lap again, and she could only comply with her young master’s unreasonable demands, so she sat with a blush on her face, This was not the first time anyway, and her feelings seemed to be a little different.

After everyone was seated, the assistant glanced at Victor before shaking his head and informing the participants to wait for their names to be called. Then he left the hall in a hurry.

A few seconds later many maids entered with plates of well prepared foods and drinks, it is time for them to relax a little and have a late launch. their ordeal was over and what is left is the family’s evaluation and rewards. Their next step in life would be decided after that.

Now it was unknown who from the participants gained what class or authority, usually only 10 percent becomes full PLAYERs. but that did not stop many participants and especially the servants from going around to socialize with and congratulate the higher-ranked members, Cousin Ron already had a long line of admirers waiting to congratulate him.

As for poor Victor, who had a bad reputation, to begin with, having a petite girl in his lap did not help his case, so no one came close to him.

Looking at Lily on his lap, Victor activated his Appraisal skill and looked at her status.

“Not Bad at all” he thought, A level 3 authority is really amazing for a newbie PLAYER, maybe she had some hidden bloodline or martial arts talent. but he needs some artifact to examine and verify those as they were not system parameters.

Looking at her pretty eyes staring back at him, he thought “This little girl will be a great assassin in the future. too bad she died too early in his past life”.

“Young master” Lily suddenly said, “About what happened, I...”

“No need to report” Victor interjected while patting her head “When they call me to the evaluation room you will follow me, I have already told you that you are mine no matter what your results are,” he said, “ And be careful not to reveal any information, walls have ears.” He warned her not to ask about Guy’s death.

“Yes, young master” Lily bent her head down and answered in a low voice, in fact, she was very curious why looking at Guy for one minute resulted in his death, was it just a coincidence, but Guy looked very assured of his success before the ritual.

After a few minutes, one servant entered the room and called politely for Ron to follow him, so he left the room under the gaze of his admirers. Not many noticed, but there was a look of distress in his eyes. He was afraid of his father’s rebuttal. For a servant a semi-PLAYER status was a great result, but for someone from the main branch, It was a disgrace.

Victor activated his skill and looked at Ron’s Status while he was leaving the hall.

“His bloodline really started to awaken,” Victor thought with a smile, “But his attributes are pretty stranded, like mine in the past, he may have a chance if he completes the bloodline awakening though.”

Victor opened his mouth, and Lily who was waiting for his signal quickly inserted a seedless grape in it. “ This girl is really smart” he thought, “I should lighten her punishment for breaking into the hall.”.

Now he should think about how to present himself to the family. His attributes were pretty stunning, even without considering his AUTHORITY, because he used the 2000 points he should have wasted on the authority to buff the rest of his attributes.

He closed his eyes as if taking a nap, then activated the Disguise skill and began to adjust here and there so that he would present a normal status to the family. A good result would gain him a good position in the family, A shocking result would gain him a lot of enemies.

A few minutes later, a servant entered the hall and called Victor’s name, then politely asked him to follow,

Victor commanded Lily to go with him and left the hall, with her holding his hand, under the scrutinizing gaze of his peers.
