The Young Master in the Shadows

Chapter 140: Windy

Tom was grinning in satisfaction, he was laying in bed with the two exhausted girls. They were the ones he got from the auction house. And those two were super wild. But they couldnʼt contend with the stamina of a player…

; ; THE WHIMSICAL SYSTEM UPDATE HAD FINISHED
A message alerted him.

“Is the system back?” He Wondered.

; ;
THIS WHIMSICAL SYSTEM IS BACK…

THIS WHIMSICAL SYSTEM HAS BEEN UPDATED…

THIS WHIMSICAL SYSTEM HAS NEW FEATURES ADDED…

Tom was surprised… So that’s why the system was not responding… But what does the update mean?

; ;
SECURITY PATCHES. 

AND A SURPRISE NEW FEATURE.

PLAYERS CAN NOW HAVE LIMITED ACCESS TO THE MERCHANTʼS SYSTEM STORE…. WHEN THE WHIMSICAL SYSTEM FEELS LIKE IT….
ERROR: DUE TO THE CRITICAL SYSTEM UPDATE, THE LAST MISSION STATUS WAS INTERRUPTED…

FILL THE SYSTEM ON WHAT HAPPENED IN DETAIL FOR YOUR REWARD of 1000 COINs.

AWAITING PLAYER REPORT…. WHAT HAPPENED IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS…

The system responded.

Tom frowned, then after some thought, he remembered the unfinished mission about the auction raid, so he began to tell the system what happened in detail. How he hid in the Vase and then raided the Auction house before running away with the girls.

There were some irrelevant events too, such as how he met a few new girls and how he went shopping…

IS THAT ALL?

The system asked, making Tom quickly remember and tell the system about Windy too. How the painting burst into flames. And how she fell into a coma.

; ;
ASSESSING DATA….

MISSION COMPLETE

REWARD 1000 COINs.

The system reported making Tom smile in satisfaction. This System was really good. Not only did it guide him to gain a lot of treasures. It rewarded him on top of it. It was as if someone was giving you a million dollars and then giving you another $1000 for taking them.

“I want to access the play store.” Tom Said, He was really looking forward to it. Those merchant players are hogging all the good stuff for themselves.

; ;
DUE TO THE WHIMSICAL NATURE OF THE WHIMSICAL SYSTEM THE PLAYER WOULD ONLY BE ABLE TO PURCHASE HEALTH AND STAMINA PILLS.

Bottle of MINOR HEALING PILLS (5) 6500.

Bottle of MAJOR HEALING PILLS (5) 21000.

Bottle of MINOR STAMINA PILLS (5) 6500.

Bottle of MAJOR STAMINA PILLS (5) 21000.

Bottle of WEAK ANTIDOTE PILLS (5 ) 29500.

Bottle of MEDIUM ANTIDOTE PILLS (5) 60000.

PURCHASE IS LIMITED TO 1 BOTTLE OF EACH PER WEEK…

Tom smiled when he saw the list... This is cheaper than what the merchants outside sell them for. MINOR HEALING PILLs go around 2000 Coins each on the street and the bottle contains 5 so they are 1300 each here. 

Too bad there is a purchase limit, or he could really abuse this system to get rich.

URGENT MISSION

POTENTIAL DANGER SPOTTED

LOCK THE GIRL NAMED WINDY UP AND SEARCH ALL OF HER BELONGINGS.

REWARD: 100 COINs

PUNISHMENT: WILL LOSE YOUR ABILITY AS A MAN FOR 1 WEEK.

Suddenly the system told him, making him frown. Windy? 

“She is already locked up… And I already searched her stuff…. ” Tom Said… making the system surprised.

; ;
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED 50%

THE SYSTEM IS AMAZED BY YOUR SPEED.

REWARD: PENDING

HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT SHE WAS POSSESSED BY A DEMON?

NOW GO QUESTION HER. BE CAREFUL

“What do you mean? possessed by a demon? She was only trying to steal my things and run away so I knocked her out and then locked her up.” Tom said, thankfully he hasnʼt decided what to do with her yet as he can’t just let her go as she has already seen his face. And those Auction guys would surely find her if He let her go.

Now it turned out that she was possessed by a demon… no wonder he didn’t like that girl at all. She seemed to be always asking unnecessary questions. As if she had never lived in a modern civilization… she didn’t even know how to use a phone…

Sitting up from his bed he appeased the two girls who protested a little wanting him to keep them company. He told them that he would return later for another round.

After that, he left the room and headed to the makeshift cell he built on the upper floor. Where he kept Windy.

There, after opening the door, he could swear he heard the system gasp. It must be the air…

…

Victor who was sitting in the study stood up in jerk, pushing the chair and tumbling to the floor.

Thankfully, no one was in the room to see the astonished look on his face.

The girl who was chained to a pole in the middle of the room was Windy… Tom already told him her name… but he could have never imagined that it was THIS SLUT WINDY.

TOTAL: AA+

Windy Larsdotter, also known as Windy the ice queen. Windy the men killed, and Windy the heartless matriarch of the Ice Soul Sect. one of the huge powers both now and in the future. 

That place was a sect only for women. Any man who approaches them would be killed on sight. It was located in the far north of the continent, in an inhabitant tundra. So it was able to keep its distance from all of the chaos that the world faced after the reckoning.

Windy was heartless from all the previous matriarchs, as she forbade all of her disciples from approaching men or even talking to them, declaring to the world that men were insects that should be crushed.

Victor had no idea that she was also Arthur Wolffʼs lover, but destiny never lies. 

Arthur Wolff was the enemy of the world. A man who was so strong and arrogant that despite being a scion, everyone tried to kill him and everyone failed repeatedly.

That man showed up whenever a treasure or an SSS dungeon appeared. And he always left with his hands full, either from the treasures or from the artifacts he collected from his enemiesʼ corpses. So naturally, no one liked him…. Except itʼs windy it seems… This b*tch was a big hypocrite. She hid it well enough… Victor cursed, Remembering many events in the past that made sense now. As she was always the first one to pursue after Arthur as if to kill him. But she must be the one hiding him.

No wonder Tom hated Windy, The obscure feeling of repulsion toward her that Tom is showing was a result of her, is destined to be eaten by someone higher on the food chain. A scion with a stronger fate.

What should he do now? 

Victor had no grudge against Arthur. On the contrary, he wants to use him as The guy who murdered his family was one of Arthur’s enemies.

Maybe he should just make Tom let her go. Wait… What if she was the demon?

Suddenly Victor noticed something wrong… Windy seemed to have broken free of her binding.

…

Tom felt strange because of the system’s long silence. 

“Is everything ok?” He asked as he looked at Windy. She had many hit marks and scratches. This was not his work, but his wifeʼs who got very angry when she called Tom a pervert…

; ;
CAUTION

THIS GIRL IS A PLAYER.

CAUTION

THIS GIRL IS ALREADY OUT OF UNBOUND AND WOULD ATTACK YOU WITH AN ICE BALL AT ANY MOMENT.

DEFEND AGAINST THE ATTACK THEN SUBDUE HER.

The series of system messages surprised Tom, who quickly looked at the girl, but it was too late. She was already in front of him using an Iceball aimed directly at his face.

He quickly dodged, then used his leg to kick her, but she dodged and slipped by him heading to the door. She was too flexible.

Tom quickly ran after her but slipped and fell on his ass. The floor was all frozen. What the hell…

He jumped quickly to go after her, but slipped again, “Damn it!” He roared as he crawled on the icy floor. 

By the time he reached the door, she was nowhere to be seen.

Tom Stood up and looked left and right To the corridorʼs ends but saw no shadow.

He listened carefully for footsteps, but none could be heard.

; ; THE WINDOW
The system reminded him, so he quickly ran to an open window where he spotted Windy who was floating in mid-air with difficulty. This should be her first time flying. After a while, she landed behind an adjacent building. Seemingly her energy was drained. 

Although he knew that by the time he reached there she would be long gone, Tom still wanted to follow her. But at the next moment, he suddenly felt his eyes bleed and was struck by exhaustion that made him collapse to the ground.

; ;
MISSION FAILED

YOUR ENERGY WOULD BE DRAINED.

YOU WILL LOSE YOUR ABILITY AS A MAN FOR ONE WEEK.

“Nooooooooooooooooooo.” A scream rocked the building.

…

Victor frowned as he stood up. He never expected Tom to collapse after using the destiny tracking through him. It seemed the effect of the X ranked class skills can’t be withstood easily by others.

Luckily, the skill activation was a success, and Windy was marked. 

From her Status, Victor could see that she had an enhanced system, so she must awaken using a painting as Tom described.

But was she possessed? She seems not, as her name was not changed. A demon would have a couple of question marks at the very least.

So now, he needed to go after her to investigate her situation. If she was a demon, he would kill her. If not…. He must make her serve him. Or at least do his bidding.

Leaving the room, he bumped into Hilda, who was getting ready to go to bed.

“Do you need anything young master?” She asked,

“Inform Lily and the girls that I have to go on a mission, I might return late,” He said as he headed to the door then stopped and turned to face Hilda, “Do you have a whistle?” He asked.

“I have a few, I use them when I train the girls.” She said as she reached into a drawer and took out a metallic sports whistle and handed it to Victor, who put it in his pocket and then left the mansion in a hurry.

…

“I bet you a $100 it is another girl,” Margret, who was watching him leave from Lily’s room window, said.

“You don’t need to bet, I already know,” Lily said with some annoyance. This was supposed to be her night alone with her young master… But this slut Margret, who felt something was wrong, discovered the young master plot and came to sleep in her room. 

“Let’s go after him. We would stay far enough away.” Margret proposed, making Lily look at her with surprise… She wanted to say no, but after some thinking, she opened the window and jumped.

Margret chuckled and after some hesitation jumped after her.

They would surely be punished after this…. But she wouldn’t mind…
