The Young Master in the Shadows

Chapter 304: Caspian is here!

“F*ck!” Victor cursed angrily as he made his way toward his parentsʼ table while wiping the blood off his hand.

“What happened?” Theodore asked as he scowled at his son. What was this brat scheming at now, he wondered.

“That bastard priest bit me!” Victor complained as if it was not his fault.

”Bit you?” Iris asked.

“Why would he do that?” Elena asked with some concern. “Are you injured?”

“No… The blood is his. He was making trouble, so I punched him…” Victor replied righteously.

“And?” Theodore asked. 

“He bit me!” Victor said with an aggrieved tone.

“You already said that… Why did you punch him in the first place? Is he ok?” Thodore asked as Elena grabbed the wine glass Lara was trying to secretly taste. The poor woman had no idea that wine was no longer harmful to the little girl… It was never harmful, the elder dragonʼs bloodline was already enough to combat the effect of Alcohol.

“He is still kicking…. I wanted to force him into the dragon costume, but he dared to refuse,” Victor said as if the priest was the bad guy.

“So what’s now?” Mike asked as he secretly passed El another glass containing some wine to give to Lara. The little girl deserved a drink at her brother’s wedding!

“Everything will be fine. As an old man, he needs to change his old views, so it will take another 15 minutes to ʼconvinceʼ him,” Victor said, ”Lily is already on it!” he added mysteriously.

“How is that exactly?” Yulian asked nervously as some very dirty thoughts crossed his mind. He could imagine his poor sister giving that old man a b…. NOOOOOOOOO!

“Just forcing some strong wine down his throat, and performing some hypnosis. Any old man will start to act sensible after some… WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?” Victor suddenly paused and asked, pointing at Yulian before looking at Alice and then back at Yulian.

“He is my boyfriend!” Alice said proudly, grabbing Yulian’s arm as she rested her head on his shoulder. Making the poor young man completely forget every other thought in his mind.

”Your boyfriend? Since when?”

“Didn’t you tell me that you investigated her boyfriend?” Elena turned and asked Victor who was standing behind her with a frown. Lara used the opportunity to taste the wine… She spat it moments later. It was not to her liking. 

“Ahh….” Victor hesitated as Alice slid her finger across her neck threatening him. He swallowed.

“Oh…So itʼs that one! I never saw his photo….” Victor said slowly as if he was a bad liar.

“I see…” Elena was not convinced.

“Nice to meet you at last…..” Victor turned and said to Yulian nervously as he grabbed the wine glass El handed him from behind Elena’s back after tasting it. She seemed to have liked it as she drank the whole thing and was now drowsy.

“Nice to meet you too… Congratulations on your wedding!” Yulian replied.

“Thanks…” Victor said as he inspected Yulian.

“Why don’t we see the brides? Where are they?” Alice asked.

“They will appear at the ritual… This is for the atmosphere!” Victor explained.

“Ohh...”

“Victor… Did you greet your grandfather and grandmother?” Elena suddenly asked.

“Not yet… Why?”

“Why would someone need a reason to greet his grandparents! Go see them before the ceremony starts!” she scolded pointing at a nearby table.

…

Victor sighed and made his way toward the table occupied by his maternal grandparents and their not-so-successful offspring.

“Hi, Grandpa…. Grandma… Uncles… Aunt…Cousins…” Victor said awkwardly as he greeted his grandfather Kalvin and his grandmother Willow… He also nodded to his aunt, uncles, and cousins who buried their heads into their extravagant dishes. “I am really happy that you came!” he said.

“Oh... Victor!” Willow said as she grabbed Victor and kissed his face. He was now her favorite grandson. “You look really handsome… Just like your grandfather did at his wedding!”

“Thanks…” Victor said as he secretly cursed at the opportunistic old woman.

“Victor… I want to talk to you about some of the news I got…” Kalvin suddenly said.

“Is it urgent?”

“Nah… it’s about some info I got about an upcoming event… I thought you would like it…”

“Then I will contact you about next week…” Victor, who knew what this was about, said. “You know…” Victor smiled lewdly, making his uncles and cousin look away in envy.

“I know, I know…” Kalivn chuckled. He wished he could also marry these many wives. Nah, Willow was more than enough for him. After Lily gave her that pill, they were having a honeymoon every night… No one needed to know that, especially Victor who could read it all over his grandfatherʼs smirking face.

“Victor… The men at the door took my phone… Can you get it back?” Willow suddenly said. She wanted to make a video call to her friends and brag.

“Sorry grandma, all phones are forbidden for security reasons… If you want a photo to show to your friends, just gesture to any of the girls carrying cameras to the side… They will be more than happy to take your photos and we will send them to you a week later after reviewing them!” Victor explained pointing to some girls who were standing next to the hallʼs walls like prostitutes with cameras.

“Ohh.. good…good…” she nodded with a smile, Victor really understood her. What a good grandson!

Victor sighed and then paused. as his communicator beeped.

“What?” he asked as he moved away from his grandparentsʼ table.

“Someone wearing a mask had just entered the hotel. He fits the profile you gave us on Caspian. And Yin is about to go crazy telling me that he is a demon!”

“Where is he?” Victor asked.

“He had just walked in with an old man using a golden invitation. Its ID indicates that it is one of those we sent to the Player’s Council… Shall we guide him to the main or secondary venue?”

“The main one… He is one of the main actors today!” Victor said as he closed his eyes and focused on the array. He was using it to have a parametric View of the entire hotel.

Inside the elevator, he could see him. A young man was standing arrogantly with a servant behind him. This guy was that of Caspian without a doubt.

”There is something else…”

”What?”

”Caspian presented three cheap incense sticks as his wedding present, ” Alpha said coldly, knowing what this represented.

”Noted… Just follow the plan and tell Yin to calm down!” Victor said as he squeezed his fist then quickly moved toward Luliana who was sitting with her family and a blue-haired man. The Von Astrom representative.

“Victor, right? Congratulations on the wedding!” the Von Astrom representative said casually to Victor who stood behind Luliana. 

“Thanks… “ Victor said. He knew that this man looked at him with disdain, but he didnʼt care. “Please enjoy the feast!” he added with a lazy smile then nodded to Sirius, Nova’s father, and Atlas, his son. They were sitting there with white faces, afraid that their scheme might be discovered. Their standing in the family was on the edge. If news of Nova’s escape were to be known, they would surely be punished severely.

“Lady Luliana…” Victor said as he bowed closer toward Lulian’s ear. “Caspian is here… He will enter this venue at any moment… Don’t reveal a thing. He will probably wait for the ceremony to begin before acting! Victor whispered, making the woman tense all of a sudden.

“I understand…” she said nervously.

Victor nodded then retreated as a bead of sweat dropped from the nape of his neck. There was a beautiful tan-skinned woman with black flowing hair there sitting next to Luliana. A woman he didn’t notice at all from afar because she was wearing an artifact that made her seem unimportant.

“This is Gloria Flick, Reporting from the front of the White Hotel!” 

Outside the hotel, many news trucks stopped between the fans and the protestors with their eyes on the hotel.

Many reporters were lined up, looking with envy at the violate carpet where some of the late invitees were tickling in.

“As our viewers saw, the priest had just arrived. It was Master Oppenheimer, the head of the united temple in Vein city…” Gloria began to read the report that her assistant prepared. “He is 91 years old this year... I want to remind all of our viewers who are sending us some ‘inquiries’… to use only polite language as this is a live feed, and that we have many underage viewers….”

THAT YOUNG MAN WHO WALKED IN EARLIER WAS HOT!

OMG, THAT GROOM IS SO HOT!

“Now… we have some questions about the identity of the groom. He is Victor White, the heir of the white conglomerate and the son of the famous businessman and philanthropist Theodore White…” Gloria said as she tried hard to accommodate the live chat feed. Victorʼs sleazy photo was presented on the screen seconds later.

WOW, HE IS SO HOT! 🌋

HI…

“ Now, I want to apologize that we couldn’t film from the inside as promised as it was strictly forbidden to bring in Cameras. ” Gloria said then began to read the feed again. “As you can see, the streets are filled with protestors… Let me go around and ask.

Gloria began to slowly move around.

“Excuse me… Why are you protesting?” she asked one woman.

“That bastard is doing something against nature! Polygamy is a sin! It makes me sick!”

“Yeah! A man should always marry one woman. How can a man love more than one?” another said.

“Bastards… I should have been one of the brides!” another said.

“As you see my deer viewers… Polygamy is still a very controversial topic… “

FOR POLYGAMY FOR A HAREM!

NOOO, DONʼT LISTEN TO THOSE IDIOTS!

I PREFER MONOGAMY… I CAN’T LOVE MORE THAN ONE WOMAN… NO ONE CAN!

HOW DOES THIS THING WORK?

MIRA IS GETTING MARRIED AT LAST!

I REALLY WANT TO SEE THAT...

ME TOO!

I DONʼT... NO, MY MIRA!!!!!

WHY DIDNʼT YOU SNEAK A CAMERA IN?

“Now… Please be careful of some scammers in the chat… And please stop with these pointless arguments.” Gloria said as she read, ”Of course, we tried to send in a hidden cam inside, but it was busted along with the carrier’s nuts…...” She said as she moved to another side, squeezing between the crowds with difficulty.

“Excuse me, sir… What do you think about his wedding?” she asked a young man standing solemnly to the side. He seemed like a decent man.

“I am trying to get in… I Am the groom you see! My name is Victor White!” he said with tears in his eyes. The jealousy had turned him mad. 

“I WANT TO MARRY MY MIRA!” he screamed as he grabbed the Microphone and then jumped at the camera. “ I AM VICTOR! GIVE ME MY WIFUS!”

It took Gloria three whole minutes to grab her mic back as a few police officers came and dragged the madman away moments later.

“Sorry about that…” she said, ”As you can see. Some people can’t handle such occasions… I hope that young man turns up ok…”

DAMN, THOSE B***S…

YEAH… THEY WERE WELL HIDDEN…

YAH... LOOK AT THOSE BOOBS!

I BET YOU SHE IS NOT WEARING A BRA.

DEFINITELY…

..

..

SEND A DRONE!

YEAH, SHE CANʼT AFFORD ONE…

A DRONE?

“And yes we tried to send a drone but it was grabbed by a security eagle… Now it is broadcasting footage from the insides of a toilet…” Gloria said with a blush as she adjusted the blouse under her jacket to hide her breasts. That man pulled at it earlier, making it come loose. she should have worn a bra.

She hoped no one saw anything. But she was in for a big surprise when she reviewed the footage later that night.

LAME…

SHOW US FOOTAGE FROM THE DRONE...

YEAH…

THEY MUST BE HIDING SOMETHING!

SHOW US YOUR B**** AGAIN!

“WE CANʼT SHOW YOU THAT!” she yelled just as she heard a beeping from the back.

“Look! Some new grand convoy is approaching!” she said in excitement as the cameraman tilted the camera back, showing a fleet of golden-colored cars stop to the side and an army of bodyguards dressed in bronze suits flooded out and began to push away the reporters.

Gloria barely managed to step to the side as a grand custom-made armored GOLDEN BULL SUV car stopped surrounded by armed bodyguards. An assistant quickly ran to the car’s doors and opened them while bowing.

From the inside an unknown old man wearing a face mask walked out followed by a pretty young woman and a young man who was pushing a wheelchair in front of him. 

In the wheelchair, there was a girl who was wearing a simple blue dress and simple blue strapped shoes. She had silky gray hair styled into a bun. Her face was hidden by a thick black pair of shades, but Gloria, who was close by, could tell she was a beauty. She could also spot some tears falling from the girlʼs delicate chin.
