Chapter 115: Deep Market
The days passed like some hours on the clock and the boring loop of college life came back to Viktor's life. Not only that, he got two idiots that joined his miserable college life.
But he left like it was going to be different this time. They were also excited to attain the classes and to go inside the human society for the first time. Since they spend all their life alone, this was a great opportunity to know humans and expand their understanding of mortal life.
But it was only Viktor who didn't feel that kind of excitement. Rather than that, he was busy studying the recent survey Adonis made about missing Hybrids and related normal human missing cases all over Asia and Europe. The survey Adonis made only took two weeks but the papers all over the floor and on his table were piled up like buildings. The room became a mess in just weeks.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
"Master, may I come in?" Adonis was standing outside the door while carrying another pile of papers that were newly printed out.
"Yes."
Cleeerkk…
"Master, here are the last papers from the association."
Viktor took a glance at the papers and said, "Good work. You're dismissed for today."
"Thank you, master."
But he stood still and again said, "May I say something, master?"
"Of course."
Viktor put down the paper he was looking at and looked at Adonis.
"Master. Yesterday, I noticed an intruder trying to break into our server. There are countless important files which have been saved in our cloud storage but the hacker aimed for the useless ones. He was aiming for an actuator and some machinery blueprints. One of our programming engineers said that it was nothing. But I am feeling uncomfortable."
"If you're feeling uncomfortable about this, follow your instinct. A small threat might look harmless but it can actually be a real deal."
"I will follow your advice, master."
Why do you even have that useless information inside the serv….
Suddenly, Viktor realised something.
"Adonis, secure those files and delete them from the server right now. "
There's a freaking spy among us!
WHOSH!!!
Both Adonis and Viktor vanished as if they teleported somewhere but in reality, they didn't have time to cast any spell so they just flew out of their house to reach the QH headquarter as soon as possible.
"Adonis, I'll check the spy. You go and secure the files."
"Yes, master."
Tsk! I should've looked through the people who worked under Adonis before. They work under the shadow figure that I believed to be the guardian of greed. His nature is just like his name, a greedy bastard who had bottomless greed. He's known as the devil of greed who can even drool over a kid's toy.
From the outside, he's gentle like a decent gentleman but he's a demon on the inside.
"I can't believe he has already spread his powers all over the world."
done.me
Viktor quickly went inside through the main gate but his movement was too fast that even CCTV failed to capture his image. In just a matter of seconds, he went inside the freezing server room and saw a rat sitting in a corner with his laptop.
That moment…
Keukk!!!
"Mr Tim, let's have a small chat."
"Who.. who are you!!"
The man used mana to escape from Viktor's grab but his hands felt like a stone that was filled with coldness.
"Sorry, but you have to sleep."
Kheikk!
With just one punch on his abdomen, the man fainted and he quickly took the chance to read his record and find out who was the culprit.
It turns out, it was fake to test the security of the building which was placed by that unknown shadow.
Tsk… This is bothersome.
Suddenly, Adonis appeared in front of him and said, "Master, the files have been deleted from the server."
"Good work. Now take care of this rat. I have tons of work to do."
Viktor turned back and again said, "Adonis, don't overdo it. Your eyes are getting darker."
"I.. I will, master." Adonis smiled at his honesty and threw the man into his dimension prison.
I wanted to find the guardian of time now, but that punk will probably run away and save Elesis when I'm not looking. If I revive all of them now, my plan will be interrupted.
He closed the door to the server room and saw a man walking. His body was filled with mana that can be compared to a knight back in Vestrain. So he said, "What clan are you from?"
The man stopped walking and turned his attention to him.
"Who are you? Are you allowed inside?"
Viktor took out his ID card and the man immediately bowed 90° to him. "I apologize for not recognizing you, Sir North. I am Min-Seong, From the Seo family."
"I see. Mind if we have a little chat?"
"N..No sir."
"Then let's go. I know a good place."
"Yes, sir."
Viktor took Min-Seong to a cafe near the company and ordered two cups of warm coffee.
The cafe was nearly empty.
"Sir Min-Seong, you're the president of the company. Isn't it correct?"
"Yes, sir. Please keep the formalities aside. You can talk normally with me."
He's really scared.
"Okay then, don't be afraid. I'm not going to eat you. Hahah"
"Ahaha..haha"
Min-Seong gave an awakened laugh because he was unable to understand what exactly was going on.
"You might be wondering about my Identity so I will introduce myself. I am Viktor E. North, younger brother of Adonis North."
"I see. You two don't really look alike."
"That's because we're not related by blood but with different relations."
Viktor took a sip of his coffee and again asked, "Min-Seong, your father is the chancellor of the elite H. college, right?"
"Yes. He is."
"Looks like I'm going to meet your father pretty soon."
"Are you perhaps a hybrid as well?"
"Yes, isn't that obvious? Adonis is the strongest so it's normal for me to be a hybrid as well. But the reason why I called you is that I wanted to know more about the deep market."
Viktor smiled with a devilish smile and again said, "You are associated with them, aren't you? It's against the company rule to work in a different association while working with us. How are you going to explain it?"
Min-Seong gulped into his dry throat and said, "W..what are you talking about?"
"There's no reason to lie since I know everything. I'm just here to throw a proposal."
"What.. what proposal?"
"I want you to put this vial on the auction house a week after a straight 7-day advertisement."
"What is this?"
"A potion that can grow a lost limb or an organ. Well, it won't work on the brain. And yes, I'd like to purchase a VIP membership. You're the sector A administrator, right?"
The personality of Min-Seong changed after Viktor revealed his real identity. It was supposed to be top-secret information that could cost a billion dollars to obtain.
"You're a sly dog you know… I don't know how that bastard Adonis got his hands on th..Heukkl!!!!!"
Viktor cast a mind manipulation spell on his body in just a second and made him shut his mouth. He was annoyed that he was cursing Adonis in front of him.
"Don't you dare to act ignorant in front of me. I can wipe your existence off the earth with just a touch of my finger. I know how powerful the deep market is and only one or two people can reach the level to become administrator. But you should know this well, there's a new sheriff in the town. You're nothing more than an ant under my feet."
Min-seong couldn't speak even nor move due to the mind control spell. He was sitting straight in front of him with dreadful eyes.
"Don't hold a grudge against me. I don't wish to kill such a helpful person like you. And here you go."
Viktor threw a piece of paper on the table which contained the brief information about the potion he wanted to put on the list.
"How..how much is the starting price?"
"50 million dollars."
"Put it on the website tonight at 12:12. Make sure to display the product at the end."
"You need to buy a membership card to enter the marketplace."
Viktor threw a big nugget of pure gold in front of him that appeared out of nowhere and said, "This will cover the cost, right?"
"Y..yes."
"Oh, look at the time! I'll take my leave now. Make sure to send the mail to my house today. See you at the auction house then. Goodbye."
Viktor left the cafe by giving the cashier a 100-dollar bill. Her eyes were sparkling because of the huge tip she got.
Heheh! That marketplace is going to throw a tantrum if the effects go viral. Hehehhee!
Easy money.
