The Young Master in the Shadows

Chapter 106: Saving Aria

Victorʼs first stop was the temporary prison on the main Island, Aria was being kept there as a decision about her destiny has not been reached yet.

The military-grade spacious helicopter struggled to find a suitable landing position in front of the prison building, making Victor jump from it before signaling the Kai who was acting as a pilot to land a little away.

“Wait for me.” He told Lily and Kai as he went straight to the building whilst reminiscing about this place. Back then, when he was set up, he had to spend two weeks here before they kicked him out of the family. The rooms here were not very comfortable, but they had a bed at least.

Aria was lucky they sent her here because the island where the family usually threw their prisoners was not a place a young girl like her can survive. It was probably his father who pulled a few strings. The treatment here was much better than in that hell hole.

No guard stopped Victor. He was wearing the purple Elite heir token proudly around his neck.

This is not a place to act low-key.

This place was a maze. After getting lost for a few minutes, Victor let go of his ego and humbled himself to ask one of the guards, who led him to a cell on the second floor. The door was a little jar and Victor could see what was happening inside.

Three men, two old and one young were facing the angry Aria. She was dressed in a gray criminal dress and had a clear slap mark on her cheek.

Victor frowned as he recognized the men, the first one was Mason, who questioned him in Vein city, and the other old man was another elder from the inquisition hall whom he couldn’t remember but he could recognize the distinct token on his robes.

The young man was one of his cousins. His name was Morris, he was a semi-player.

A minor character, but his father, Victor’s uncle, was the head of the Punishment Hall. A very influential elder in the family, and one of the top names on Victor’s revenge list. Thankfully he had no influence here. As this place was run by the inquisition hall.

“I told you bitch. I will let you moan my name all night. And when I am finished with you, My men will like the new taste.” Morris said.

“Morris, you can’t touch her yet. Not until the council reaches a decision.” The elder said.

“Jaxon, donʼt be stingy. I already talked to them. Once the command was issued she would be killed right away. And this is not against the rules as we need to interrogate her. ” Mason said, giving an excuse, “Let young master Morris here have some fun.” He added.

“Theodore will not like this,” Jaxon said with a sigh, making Morris frown.

“He is not your boss, my father is. He will never know anyway unless you tell him.” Morris said then turned to Mason “Uncle Mason help me convince him, you promised. If you let me have her I will tell my father to help Titus. Last I have heard they have already extracted half of his blood essence.” Morris said with an evil grin,

“Just do it, I will take the blame,” Mason said with a sigh,

“Now quickly give me her soul mark and let me be her master. I promise that she will not survive the night.” Morris said as he licked her lips,

“Loser,” Aria screamed. “You can’t overpower me with your force so you resort to nefarious means.” She spat at him.

“Bitch, let me teach you how…..” He said as he wanted to give her another slap but his hand was caught by Victor who punched him in his face, sending him hurling into the cell’s wall.

“You?” Jaxon and Mason exclaimed, while Aria gasped and put her hand on her mouth while tears trickled from her eyes. This was the first familiar face she saw after all that happened yesterday.

“Elder, my name is Victor Von Weise, and I hold A command from the patriarch,” Victor said as he bowed respectfully then threw one of the commands at Jaxon, whose eyes grew sharp when he channeled his energy into it. He just heard Ann’s command play in his mind. “Give Aria to Victor,” So it was not the patriarch. But higher powers. He thought with a smile. This makes things easy.

“Understood,” He said as he pointed at Aria with his token making the Tattoo on her neck flash. Victor quickly activated his Token to make her his servant. Under Mason’s astonished look. He said nothing, but he wondered why did the patriarch help him? Theodore was ordered to stay out of this matter before.

“You bastard. How dare you hurt me. Uncle Mason. Uncle Jaxon. Arrest him. He just assaulted a family member breaking family rules.” Morris yelled as he slowly stood up and pointed at Victor.

Jaxon did nothing, he just shook his head, while Mason hesitated then stopped, choosing to stay out of this. “Sorry Titus, you would have to suffer a little more in there,” he prayed silently for his nephew, He has to ask someone else for help it seems.

“What do you mean ‘break the family rules? Aria was mine the moment the patriarch gave her to me and you just assaulted her intending to rape her. This is enough for this young master to break your third leg.” Victor yelled as he slapped Morris’s face again. “Not to mention the fact that this young master is an Elite family member. Educating others in the family is my responsibility.” Victor said as he gave Morris a final slap and then headed toward Aria. It’s not that Victor didn’t want to kill him, but this idiot’s father was very troublesome.

Victor said nothing after that, he just helped Aria stand up. She stood up, hugged him, plunging her head into his chest and beginning to cry. Her mother committed suicide first, then before she could cope with that, she was arrested and they told her the shocking truth, She was not a Von Weise. Her mother adopted her at birth because of her purple hair to scam the family.

She was brought here and was forced to spend the night in this cell after they tattooed her like a servant while telling her that her father whom she loved dearly will not help her.

She didn’t resist, she just wanted to die, as the shock was too much for her to handle. And Yesterday night was the darkest in her life. She didn’t know what to do, hoping that maybe someone would save her from this nightmare. But she knew that no one would come. Those who claimed to be her half-brothers wouldn’t risk their position in the family for her. And she was not even family with them anymore.

An hour ago, this piece of shit Morris came and began to molest her, demanding that he should play with her. So she had to struggle, she didn’t mind death, but she didn’t want to be humiliated before that.

Victor was the last person she expected would come to save her.

“I told you that you would be mine one day. Don’t worry we will still be family.” He said softly, making her cry harder. This bastard was only here to play with her like Morris, but she didn’t hate him, on the contrary. She felt that he was her only reliance right now.

“Let’s go, this is no place for this.” He said as he shook his head while wondering if he had some kind of a hidden skill that made girls cry on his shirt. Would it be an S or an F rank? Can it be used in a dungeon?

Aria nodded then left the Hall with him under Morris’s harmful gaze. He will surely call daddy to complain after this. But that snake would not move this easily.

Victor took Aria quickly to the Helicopter where she sat next to him and rested her head on his shoulder.

“I guess I am stuck with you from now on.” She said, “Should I keep calling you Victor or young master.” She asked him.

“Dear brother, would work.” He said.

“You seem to have some sister complex.” She said as she wiped her tears, having regained some of her sassiness after meeting him.

“I will just call you young master. It is better this way.” She said as she closed her eyes. She didn’t get to sleep last night.

Lily, who was a little jealous, could feel that Aria was hiding her sadness and despair behind jokes. But at least she would still have a younger brother after all this. The young master is really good. She thought as her tender eyes looked at him from the back.

“Whatever you want. Now let’s go get the other girls.” Victor said, Making Aria open her eyes again, then pinch him hard. “Bastard.” she thought.

Lily, who was in the back, was tempted to do the same. What other girls. We already have a dozen at home. Bad young master. Perverted young master.

“This young master has to do everything at volume, even saving damsels in distress. I have an image to keep.” He said feeling an angry pinch on his thigh.

“You don’t have an image left. It was thrown into the garbage bin ages ago.” Aria retorted as she closed her eyes again with a somewhat complex smile. She was too tired to argue with this shameless pervert.

“Where do we go now, young master? Where are the damsels in distress.” Kai asked as he licked his lips.

“To the Assassinsʼ Island. Grandma has agreed to give me a few new girls from there.” Victor said as he looked at Lily and then winked at her with a smile.

Lily, who totally understood him, gasped, then her scowl turned into a smile behind the veil. Her young master is really the best. She really wanted to jump and hug him right now. But this place was not appropriate.

Kai had other thoughts. At first, he was cursing at Victor for being a womanizer. But then he stopped caring when he turned to the back just now and glimpsed at Lily, he just happened to make out some details from behind the semi-transparent veil. As she was sitting right behind him.

“Damn, How can a girl be this beautiful? Too beautiful.” He thought. And that was the only thing he could think of for the next 30 minutes, Thankfully he was professionally trained so no one noticed when he wiped the blood that dripped from his nose as he piloted the copter.
