Chapter 428: Emira
“This wayplease?”the secretary, Suzan, said, guiding Margret, Micheal, and his supposed new girlfriendBiancatowardthe meeting room.
“Seriously… how dare he make me wait…”Margretined.
“Madam… You know the rules Madam Aria and the CEO have set… It was all agreed upon before that no matter what, CrimsonPearl’sidentity was supposed to remain secretespeciallyfrom youuntilthe contract waspletely signed,”Suzan apologized as they reached the meeting room.
“WHAT? WHY?”Margret red, making Micheal and Bianca frown.
“You will know right away…”Suzan said, opening the double-sided door and then stepping back immediately.
Margret scowled at Suzanthenquickly entered and paused at the door.
“ABE? What are you doing here? WHAT THE FUCK IS HE DOING HERE?”she turned and asked Suzan as she pointed at the man sitting at the meeting table. Micheal and Bianca could finally see what wasgoing onas she moved to the side.
“Ah…”Suzandidn’tcontinue.
“Holy Shit… Margret? I have every right to be here… What ARE YOU doing here?”Abe stood up, banged on the table, and asked.“Mister Abe… Let me introduce you, thisis Margretourvice president….”Suzan said, clearing her through.“Madam Margret, this is Mr. Abe Sanders, also known by his pen name, Crimson Pearl!”
“WHAT!”Both Abe and Margret said at the same time.
“YOU? CRIMSON PEARL? IMPOSSIBLE!!!” Margret began to yell.“How can this pervert idiot write novels like TIME IN HER LAP and TOUCHING THE UNTOUCHABLE?”Margret red.“Abedidn’teven finish mid-school!Hecan’tbe Crimson Pearl!”sheadded in a hysterical voice.
“SHUT UP!”Abe yelled.“I am CrimsonPearlwhether you like it or not!”He said,“You are just a jealous bitch! I am doing honest work here to earn a living, not using my body to get all rich and important like youwhoforgot about her family the moment you got married!”he said withclearjealousy in his voice.
“WHAT''SWRONG WITH USING MY BODY TO ENTERTAIN MY HUSBAND? IT IS HONEST HARD WORK YOU KNOW! DO YOU KNOW HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO PLEASE VICTOR?”Margret red back as Micheal and Bianca watched with strange looks in their eyes. “AND SINCE WHEN DID YOU AND YOUR BITCH SISTER CONSIDER ME FAMILY? LAST TIME I CHECKEDYOUSOLD ME TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER JUST LIKE THAT NOVEL THAT…. AHHHHHHHHH!"Margret began to scream as if she realized something."YOU DAMN BASTARD YOU HAD BEEN USING ME AS A MODEL FOR YOUR WORK!”
“SO WHAT IF I WAS? YOU ARE THE BITCHIEST GIRL I KNOW!”Abe scolded back.
“FUCK YOU!”Margret cursed angrily, shewas clearly losing it.“SUZAN! REVOKE OUR AGREEMENT WITH HIM AND CANCEL ALL CONTRACTS!”Margret red.
Hearing her, Micheal and Bianca looked at eachother,they had no idea what was going on here, but it was clear that Margret and Abe hated each other.
“Sorry Madam… Wecan’t,The contract was written in a way that neither of the parties can cancel it!”Suzan apologized,“Madam Aria expected you to act like this if you knew that your cousin was Crimson Pearl,that’swhy she told me not to tell you…”
“Damn it!”Margret cursed.“Just you wait…I will make Victor deal with you once he returns home …”she spat and quickly stormed out of the roomwhile cursingin a low voice.
“Go do your best!”Abe smirked in a voice full of spite,“Regardless of whether you cancel the contract or not, I will get paid!”he said before looking at Suzan.“Since when did Margret be your Vice president?”he asked.
“Ah… It was about a month and a half ago,”Suzan said.“Don’tworryMasterAbe, she is responsible for the Idolbusiness,and has nothing to do with movies!”Suzan quicklysaid, as if trying to cate Abe.
“Iam not worried…”Abe said with a smile. He clearly felt refreshed seeing that defeated look onMargret’sface. Money really changed howhesaw the world.“Who those two might be?”he asked, noticingBianca’sample chest.
“Ah… My name is Micheal, and this is Bianca,”Michael quickly introduced.“We are MasterAbe’sfans!”he added, taking out a print of CrimsonPearl’sfirst published book. TEARS FROM THE WRONG PLACE.“We hope to get MasterAbe’sautograph!”he said.
“Of course…”Abe said, quickly grabbing a pen and signing the book directly.“I wonder if the two of you are free… You see, I am a little hungry, and after meeting that bitchMargretIdon’tfeel like eating alone…”he said, giving a wink to Bianca.
“Ah… Too bad we just ate…”Michael,who was alsoan old driver, noticed the wink and decided to withdraw. His usually useless intuitionwas tellinghim to retreat with his newly acquired girlfriend if hedidn’twant to lose her.
“Ah. Come on… This will be fun!”Binaca interrupted him.“I want to discuss MasterAbe’snew book with him….“she said, pulling atMichael''sshirt cutely, sticking her body to his and rubbing it as she bit her lower lip.
“Ah…Well… Fine I guess… It is just a meal…”Micheal, who had a weakness againstBianca’s ample chest that rubbed against him, took a critical hit and was defeated immediately;. He was going to be there anyway, whatwas the worst that could happen.
…
A knock on the door startled the mannappingin the dark room.
“Come in…”he said as he woke upthenbegan to stretch his muscles while looking at the door.
It was his secretary, Jte whoquickly flicked the light switch, activating the magicalmp.
“Master, we have news from the Von Weise family archipgo…”she said.
Hearing thosewordshe woke uppletely.“What happened? Did that poisonous bastard Yazal fall for it?”he quickly asked. He had been waiting for this newseversince the news about the VonWesie’sfamilymain ind being engulfed with a dungeon reached him.
“Probably, ording to f, the heart had gone missing, andso did that bitch Tolin who works for him,” Jte exined.“No one else on the ind has the sufficient authority to take it from its seal!”
“Good, I wish I could see his expression when he discovers that the heart is empty,wellit would take years for him to fully extract the fake soul, and by thattimeit would be toote…”he said while smiling.“What about the third guardian?”he asked Jte.
“All the guardians are missing, but from the destruction and the blood traces left at the central chamber, in addition to the breaking of the hiding array, we can safely presume that he is dead with the rest!”she looked at the document in her hand and replied.
“Mmm… Good,hewouldn’thave guessed that the escape talisman we gavehimwas a fake… Likehellwe would share the imperial heritage with a traitor like him!”the man chuckled,“I bet he had no idea that we knew he hid the real heart on that remote ind!”
“Yes, master…” Jte nodded,“But… Are we sure that the Heart contains something valuable?”she asked.
“Most likely, Ne died because of a curse, hewouldn’thave gotten it if hedidn’ttouch something that heshouldn''thave.”the man said.“And by how he sealed his soul, it can only be either Authority points or an Imperial edict!”
“Iunderstand!”she said.
“How is Axel doing? We need him to start our search operation on the ind. If the heart wereto behidden in a pocket dimension, it would take a few years to find it without a full-scale excavation!”
“He had already been located by the family, Theodoreis heading to check on him with f as we speak,”she replied.
“Good…Make sure nothing happens to the kid. If it were not for that idiot Dick dying all of a sudden, wewouldn’thave had to go to such lengths in the first ce…“
“Yesmaster!”she nodded with a smile.
…
Victor stealthily stepped out of the cauldron,making sure to activateall his disguise abilities to the maxjustin case. He promised himself to be extra careful after all!
Lookingaroundhe frowned. He and the cauldron were not in a vault, not even in some kitchen.
They were on top of a mountain of corpses surrounded by ck smoke… Strange! This scene was very familiar.
Before Victor could fullyprehend what was goingonhe felt it… He felt like he was suffocating, hislife was slowly slipping away as his body began to grow weaker and weaker. He was dying.
SHIT!
Without thinking, he quickly activated all his bloodlines to the max.
BOOOOM!
The ck gas that had been infiltrating his body was all expelled in secondsallowinghim to start to heal immediately.
Shit, this was close.
Victor cursed as he took two healing pills at onceand began to look around. He was in that damn Death Gorge again!
How the hell did he get here?Wasn’tthe Sun lord supposed to take the cauldron and hide it in his vault? Victormade sure to disguiseits description to make it a SUPREME WINE CAULDRON before he hid in it? If it was too precious, he was worried that the lord would keep it with himself, so he had tojustmake it precious enough to keep around… But it was all for naught.
Could it be that the Sun lorddidn’tlike wine? Most likely not… He would have given it to someone else as a gift or something.
Victor pondered, hemust have missed somethingallowingthe Sun lord to suspect foul y. That guydidn’ttake chancesat all, throwing the cauldron into the gorge without a second thought. If Victor had to guess what it was, he would say it was that the Experience points that the lord got from killing that scapegoat demon were not proportionate to the power Victor showed.
Damn it… Why does this always happen tohim? Well, at least he managed to get away.
Victor sighed as he began to look around, thiswas a different portion from where he was thest time, thedeath energy here was a lot denser, and all the corpses here were those of elves of all kinds… There were a lot of young ones between them.
Shit…
Could this be the Sunlord''sfavorite ce to hide his crimes? Could there be any valuable things here?
Well,Victordidn’thave much time to ponder as he needed to go grab his sister away from that town of sick basterds, so he quickly held his cauldron and began the Vacuuming Operation Part II: THE SUNLORD''SDUMPSTER!He would go get Meril as soon as he finished with this ce.
Watching as the cauldron got filled, Victor sighed. Unlike the area under the bridge, this ce had no demons or Artifacts, just corpses after corpses of young elves. Hecouldn''thelp but notice that some of them even had bite marks on their arms…. Damn it, that Sun lord wastrulya psychopath.
“Ah… What the....”
Justthenhe slipped a littlethenfelt it, somethingcaught his leg, making him turn and look.
It was a pale corpse demon that he seemed to have stepped on by mistake. It was biting hard on his leg as it tried to move away futilely.
Strange. Could demons survive here?
No wait…
Feeling it with his demonic bloodline, Victor quickly discovered that this thing was not a demon at all…
It was a living elven with very quiet heartbeats.Other thanbeing very dirty, it wasjust toothin and pale that he almost mistook it for a corpse! Oh, and the child was a she… Just by taking one look, Victor could confirm that. The poor thing was wearing nothing.
How could she survive here? Could she be somekind of amonster?Victor''sfrowned as he quickly used his appraisal skill onher ; ; <table><tbody><tr> <td>

The status screen turned blue and then disappeared.

Victor frowned and quickly activated his appraisal again, but nothing appeared. Hequicklylooked at his status screen, but it was no longer there.

What kind of mindfuck was the system throwing at him?
Shit... Victor cursed as he pondered.
What did Duplicate Entry mean? This girl existed somewhere else right now?
Usually, one soul can have one entry in the system… Could she be a remnant of someone who split his soul like he did? No…Victor quickly shook his head. Whenever one soul upied twobodiesone would be considered the master while the other would be named an Avatar by the system.
Could it be TIME TRAVEL? Victor squinted his eyes.Nothatcouldn’tbe the case either, timetravel only functioned on the soul, and looking at this girl, she clearly had a body.
Victor pondered. Should he just kill her? Thinking about it, he decided to try something else. Just an experiment.Anomalies in the system could usually lead togreatgains if onewere to use them right!And if this did involve time travel, it might have something to do with him.
He rxed his bloodline power just a tiny bit around his leg, allowing the girl to sink her teeth into him. ; ; <table><tbody><tr> <td>

Reading thenotificationVictor sighed and then looked at the girl, shewas still trying to bite him with some blood on her lips.
He raised his leg slowly.
The girl was taken aback. She looked at him, then momentster, she turned into ck smoke anddarted awaydisappearinpletely!
“Return here…”he said.Shedidn’t… Could it be that shedidn’tunderstand him?
Shit… He quickly used his blood ve power, giving her the intention to return to him.
She did momentster… It was as if she wanted to escapebuther body was moving on its own as she looked at Victor with fear in her eyes.
Standingin front ofher, he knelt on the ground to reach her height and looked her in the eyes.
She bared her teeth and tried to bite him butcouldn’tmove forward.Slowly,tears began to well in her eyes as shecouldn’tget what was going on!
Victor sighed, then from his storageringhe took a candy bar, a normal one. He opened itand then pushed it into her mouth.
She bit at it immediatelythengasped as she began to munch at it with joy, finishing it in seconds before looking at Victor again. She no longer tried to escapeandsheclearly wanted more as she licked her lips. She was just like a kitten.
Victor sighed as he gave her another bar. Another little girl was conquered sessfully…
Now the question was what shall he do with her.
