The Young Master in the Shadows

Chapter 81: Assault

Lily and Hilda were in the basement of the gym building, where the shooting range was located. The girls have been here since dawn for their first gun lesson. They were scared at first, But after experiencing the thrill of firing a gun, they became a little too trigger-happy.

“That will be all for today.” Said Hilda with a light smile, as she looked at the twins who just entered the basement to announce that Breakfast was ready.

“Now, secure your guns and…..” She stopped talking and looked towards the door with a frown. Lily did the same.

“There are intruders. Someone has just isolated this mansion using a formation. You girls stay here and keep your guns for now.” Said Hilda, as she began to head out.

“Are they here for us?” Asked Theta in terror.

“Not necessary. Mina, Mana. Grab a rifle, then follow me. Miss Lily, you too.” Hilda said as she took her phone and dialed a number then hung up.

“All the phones are being jammed. We have to rely on ourselves.” She said,

Lily quickly grabbed a dagger, a small gun, and a rocket launcher and headed out. “Beta you take care of the girls.”

Beta quickly nodded and began to assure the girls, who got a little nervous. While Mina and Mana quickly grabbed their weapons and followed Hilda.

They quickly reached the upper floor. And peered through the window to see nothing. Too bad they didn’t install a surveillance system yet.

“Let me try.” Said Lily as she activated her survey skill. It works for long ranges, but it has bad accuracy and loses the ability to see clearly.

“There are three Enemies. They are on the main road slowly heading towards the main building. We can meet with them if we go now.” Said Lily, “ Aunt Hilda, You go with the twins. I will hide in the shadows inside the mansion.” Lily added as she began to head to the main building.

“You two stay with Miss Lily inside, I will meet them alone at the front door.” Said Hilda as she took a dagger from somewhere under her skirt and hid it carefully with the gun in her sleeve.

It took them 5 minutes to reach the main building and enter through the backdoor then head to the entrance.

Through the windows, they could see three men in robes heading to the doors.

“Try to keep your distance. Those are martial arts practitioners. The two youths are a little strong but their talents are garbage. The old man is dangerous. Leave him to me.” Said Hilda who used her talent measuring skill. She elegantly dusted her clothes then headed out.

When Hilda stepped outside the door, the three visitors were a few feet away from the door.

“How can I help you? Do you know that you are attacking a Von Weise property?” Hilda said as she bowed slightly, in a superficial greeting.

“Von Weise?” The elder frowned, then looked angrily at his disciple who stepped forward proudly and yelled.

“I don’t care what Von Weise or Von Mise you call yourselves. This is elder Brown from the thunder sec….” The disciple abruptly stopped when his master snaked his head as he looked at him with anger.

Those disciples of his had been so lazy in class, that they failed to remember the names of the top powers. They are now screwed. Their sect was just some third-rate power. And that was before the patriarch died.

He quickly looked at Hilda as he weighed his options. This, piece of shit disciple of his, has screwed him good this time.

“May I meet the mansion’s master. This humble one is an elder from the thunder sects.” Said The elder respectfully. As he sweated heavily. He is now officially screwed. He had just killed the guard and broke the front gate of a Von Wiese Heir. Those guys would only be appeased after having his head in a box. His only option now is to ask for forgiveness from the mansion’s master.

“The young master has left on a diving trip. But if you remove the blocking array, I can consider calling him for you.” Hilda said.

The elder frowned. Without the housemaster, their mission is a lot easier.

“I am looking for a criminal from our sect. Give him to us and we will leave immediately. He is a pretty boy who calls himself Alex.” He said as his tone became a little less respectful.

“Oh, I canʼt give up on anyone without the young master’s agreement. And that Alex is not here. He left with the young master.” Said Hilda as she readied her dagger. This guy would probably kill everyone here to hide his traces. She could see that his disciples had screwed up.

She was right. Elder Brown didn’t argue anymore, he just attacked her directly with a flexible sword that he was carrying around his waist. He already noticed the lack of surveillance cameras, and if his discipleʼs report was somehow trustworthy, there would be no more than five people in here. So He only needs to kill them all then burn this place to hide the fact that he was here.

Hilda used her dagger to masterfully block the attack. All the Von Weise servants had gone through multiple fighting courses. And despite not having a system skill, they were proficient in multiple martial arts.

The elder was surprised that his attack failed. This maid was just a little bit weaker than him. He was a level 25, and that made him an elder in his sect. But people with such levels could only work as servants and maids in a top family like the Von Weise.

“Go inside and search the mansion. Kill everyone you find. Be careful” Yelled the elder at his disciples. This maid was struggling with him, and no one tried to help her. He believes he would be able to beat her when she gets tired. But he had to make sure that no other players were here. He was using his disciples to fish out hidden enemies.

Although it would sadden him if something wrong were to happen to his disciples, he wouldn’t mind it. He intends to kill them after leaving here anyway. Those two have very loose tongues.

The two disciples quickly nodded and entered the mansion. While Hilda just gave them a fleeting glance.

“Your disciples will die.” She said,

“It doesn’t matter. Those fools made me offend the Von Weise family.” Said the elder.

“Retreat now, and I will ask the young master not to pursue this,” Hilda said.

“That won’t work. I know how your families work” He said as he started a new round of attacks while watching his disciples enter the mansion directly without even surveying the door for traps.

Those idiots deserve to die. He consoled himself.

The two disciples kicked the front door and swaggered inside arrogantly to only stop abruptly in astonishment as they looked at the beautiful twins.

“Big brother, the one on the left is mine, and the other is mine,” he said as he looked holding the assault rifles.

“Those things would not work on us.” He Said, to only be welcomed by a barrage of bullets. Those girls do not joke.

But what he told them was true. The bullets were stopped by a yellow shimmering screen.

“This is a defensive Artifact that stops any non-artifact weapons. We are going to enjoy you to the fullest. Right, big brother?” Said the disciple proudly.

“Big brother?” He asked again, waiting for his brotherʼs confirmation. But he heard nothing. So he looked to his side to see his big brother was already swimming in a pool of his own blood, His throat was slit.

The disciple stepped back in horror while looking around to only feel Lily’s steel dagger entering his ass. He didn’t get the chance to scream as she moved the dagger up separating him into two.

Lily looked at the twins and nodded. They were not scared of the bloody scene. Victor’s crash course in killing and dissecting Goblins in the dungeon showed its effects.

Lily slowly approached the window with the twins to observe the situation outside. Hilda was struggling while fighting that guy and had already emptied her gunʼs magazine in his shield. She was clearly weaker than him. And her arm, seamed to have been injured.

Lily turned to the Twins, then gave the rocket launcher to Mina and asked.

”Can you use this?” She asked.

“Yes, but it would not work on him,” She Answered.

“It doesn’t matter. I can’t use my stealth skill under the sun, so our only option is to distract him and let Hilda kill him. Just fire it, then run away on my signal.” Lily said as they headed outside.

The girls sneaked outside slowly while that elder fought Hilda, Lily could tell that he was aware of their presence. But didn’t care about weak bugs.

He was just cursing at his useless disciples.

Lily looked at Hilda and winked at her as Mana fired the rocket launcher at the elder, who responded by activating his shield. So after the rocket exploded and shook the entire building, the smoke cleared to reveal the smirking unharmed elder, whose eyes soon lost focus as he looked at the other thing the smoke revealed.

It was Lily, who was dancing slowly in the yard after removing her veil. The effect of her removing her veil doubled her skill, the mesmerizing dance effect many times. Rendering the elder who has long committed himself to a hermitʼs life spellbound. Just for a couple of seconds, but that was enough.

Hilda, who has already prepared her dagger, stabbed him from the back, killing him in seconds. The elder didn’t flinch at all. He didn’t even feel the dagger going through his heart. His body slowly fell to the ground, but his eyes never left Lily.

She slowly put back her veil on as she looked at his lifeless corpse in contempt. She wanted her young master to be the first one to see her dance.
