The Young Master in the Shadows

Chapter 67: Massive Wealth

Thirty minutes after Linda left, a thief wearing a black sneaking suit escaped the mansion with a smile on his face and a bloated black bag on his back. His name was Tom.

Last night, while he was enjoying a special time with one of his girlfriends, The System suddenly presented him with a new Critical Mission.

System notice,

Critical Mission - A chance for massive wealth.

The whimsical system has noticed that on the outskirts of the city, there exists a mansion where an evil man resides.

That man is about to get his ass kicked by a righteous man.

Go there, stay hidden, Explore the house and Observe the situation.

Then use the chaos as a cover and find the man’s secret stash and get rich.

Rewards.

Whatever you could grab from that mansion.

In case of failure, or getting caught, the host would lose all his hair for three months.

PS.

The system would provide instruction on the road and the secret entrance to the mansion.

He was very annoyed at first, but he didn’t dare mess with the system, and after reading the mission a couple of times he realized that this was a chance for him to get some pocket money. The cost of maintaining a relationship with three girlfriends at the same time was not small.

So after he apologized to his girlfriend, saying that his mother had just called him to take her to the hospital. He left his apartment in a hurry after putting on some black clothes he found.

He also sneakily took one of his girlfriendʼs black stockings to use as a mask. There would surely be some cameras there.

It took him three hours to reach the target mansion. It was pretty easy as the system had provided him with road instructions.

The guards on the gate didn’t look like good people at all, they were gangsters with menacing tattoos on their arms and necks. They had big guns tucked in the pants of their expensive suits.

He was able to use the secret entrance to get in silently and started to explore the mansion under the instructions of the system. It was super fancy and contained many treasures, but sadly for him, he couldn’t take any of those vases or paintings, they were too cumbersome to transport and sell.

He kept exploring quietly while avoiding the patrolling guards. Many times he felt as if he was being followed and watched. But every time he looked around he found nothing. But he could swear that a shadow on the corner of his eyes was moving.

In the end, the system assured him that there was no one there and reminded him not to get caught.

He had to climb out of one window and through another to avoid the guards patrolling the top floor.

Soon, He reached the top balcony and as he peeped through itʼs window to make sure that the coast was clear, he discovered that it was a master bedroom. And a couple was on the bed. To Tom’s surprise he knew the girl.

He recognized her as the famous Linda Cross. The man was vaguely familiar. He looked like that guy Victor with his purple hair, but he looked a little older. Before he could think who it was, the system presented him with a new mission.

System notice,

Critical Mission #2 The adulteress

The whimsical system is truly surprised by the audacity of those two.

The host is correct in his assumptions, this guy is Victor Von Weise’s Cousin and the woman is Victorʼs fiancée whom he deeply loves and adores.

Finding the truth about her would break his heart.

Mission requirements

Keep hiding and Use your phone to Record their actions Then send a message to Victor demanding $1.000.000 for the Video.

Rewards.

The $1000000 you get from Victor

100 COINs

Tom smiled and resisted the urge to laugh loudly as he read the system notice. And didn’t hesitate to take out his phone and quickly record the show he saw through the window, the lights were a little dim, but his phone was the latest type that had five cameras and night vision.

Their faces and actions were very clear, and Tom made sure to get a good angle.

It took them some time to finish as they were both Players, but Tom didn’t mind that at all, he enjoyed peeping on such shows.

This was a real scandal, Tom thought, Victor would probably be furious when he finds out. Serves him right. Why does that guy get to have all the girls?

He wanted to continue exploring the mansion, but it was already morning and the man suddenly sat down. His phone must have got a massage as he looked at it with a frown before writing some kind of response with a smirk. He turned the phone off tucking it back under the pillow with an evil smile. Armʼs wrapped around Linda, he returned to sleep.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, there was a ruckus at the gate. Some man in a butler suit broke in.

After he entered the mansion’s grounds and started killing everyone inside. Tom watched the old man burning the gangsters from his hiding place. The guards were running around, screaming and shooting but the old butler seemed as if he was taking a stroll in a park. All the bullets burnt to nothing before they could reach him.

Thanks to the soundproof bedroom, Linda and her lover were not aware of the chaos around them and continued to sleep soundly. Tom wanted to stay and watch but the system warned him that he would be dead if he stayed any longer and ordered him to hide quickly.

Tom was hesitant, but after a few seconds, he felt the scary aura of the intruder who was getting closer and seemed to have just broken through the front door. Tom quickly jumped from the balcony to the lower floor then to the ground and quickly found some faraway guard’s cabin to hide in.

Tom continued to watch through one window for some time before that the old man exited the mansion with the lover boy dragged behind him. Linda made her own escape a few minutes later.

He knew that everything was over. So he left his hiding place to find an empty mansion filled with piles of ash, dust, and bullet shells. He knew that those were the guards, and he didn’t care, as he believed that someday he would be stronger than that old man.

He just harried to collect some spoils before leaving the mansion.

This time he scored big, As there were two artifacts in that guy’s room. And he found a room full of banknotes. This whimsical system is good to him. If not for the unreasonable punishments.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t carry everything he found here; Money is really heavy. So he quickly found a big black bag and filled it with money, while carrying the artifacts in his belt.

He decided to return here tonight for some more scavenging.

Now all that is left is to go back then blackmail Victor, He would need an untraceable phone, and he knew a guy who provided those for a fee.

He left the mansion silently through the secret door, failing to notice the pretty girl who was watching him leave from a window upstairs.

Her beautiful eyes followed his escape with a frown.
