The Young Master in the Shadows

All along the company’s corridors, Many employees and guests were wondering about the identity of this young man dressed in rags. He seemed to blow any security guard who stood in his way to the ground.

‘Are they shooting a new movie?’ they thought,

The twins who followed him were very embarrassed, especially since some of the people on those corridors were known idols whom they admire. But they did not have the face to ask them for their autographs in this situation.

There was also another thought in the twins’ minds,

“The young master is not that muscular. We have already seen his body.” they thought with blushed faces “How can he be this strong? is it an act, or are all of those guards here rubbish?”

It didn’t take a long time for them to reach the VP’s office, where a hot secretary in fashionable glasses stopped Victor with a stern look.

“Who do you think you are? How dare you trespass on the vice president’s office. I will call your manager to fire you right away, How could you dress like that. This is a reputable company.” she yelled one idiotic sentence after another, seeing him entering and heading towards the VP’s room with no regard to her.

So he stopped, turned toward her, and greeted her face with a heavy slap. It sent her crashing with her shattered glasses onto the floor.

He knew this one too. Her name was Susan, a vain woman who was one of his girlfriends in his previous life, She swore that he was the love of her life. But after he was kicked out of the family, and ended up poor, she left him the next day and hooked up with another guy, whom she seemed to have been keeping as a spare tier. After that, she made sure to taunt him and humiliate him every time she saw him.

This slap is something he didn’t have the chance to do in his previous life.

Then, under the shocked eyes of the twins, he turned around and kicked the VP’s room door open, and walked right in.

‘We must never anger the young master. He is too overbearing.’ they thought.

…

It was a grand room with huge glass windows and a big meeting table in the center. Here the company’s top executives and managers were having a meeting headed by a beautiful blond woman who seemed to be in her 30’s.

Carla Rice, the vice president of Horizons media, was a legendary figure, she had both the brains and the beauty. And thanks to her brilliant business strategies, she took the company from the brink of bankruptcy to become a prominent actor in the movies and entertainment scene. That was the official story anyway.

She was also one of the many concubines of Victor’s father, Theodor’s Von Weise.

And Victor knew better than anyone that she was just another foolish money-loving snake.

Victor did not speak at all. Instead, he walked straight to Carla’s seat and began slapping her on the face under the shocked gazes of the surrounding managers.

A few of them quickly reacted and tried to catch him, but they ended up on the floor with broken noses, so no one dared intervene after that. But they could only order repeatedly for him to stop.

“How dare y..”

“Ah”

“Stop”

“you can’t...”

As for Carla, she began to threaten him first, but in the end, he could only hear her saying one thing,

“Please, No, not on the face.”

So he stopped and looked at his masterpiece. Her cheeks were bloated like watermelons, and her lips were puffed like balloons. Even her mother would not recognize her after such remodeling. And this was the result of him keeping his hand. If not, she would be picking up her teeth from the floor.

Slapping her to this degree can be accepted as a punishment, but acting any more than that his father would blame him.

He threw her to the floor and sat on her chair facing the horrified executives who wanted to say something but dared not.

He could see some of them were using their phones and calling for help under the table and repeatedly looking at the door, expecting the police to burst in at any moment.

“Let me introduce myself first. My name is Victor White, I am the son of Theodore White, And I am as of today the new CEO of this company.”

He said in an arrogant tone while rising his legs and putting them on the table.

The executives looked at each other for confirmation, then at Clara, who stayed silent. But when she looked at Victor’s threatening eyes, she dared not make more trouble and knew that no matter what, she would not be able to shake him after this. So she could only comply.

“Yes, everyone,” She said with a puffed face, “I wanted to hold this meeting to welcome the new CEO,” she added in a shaking voice. She didn’t expect this guy to be so overbearing. She needs to change her plans, it seems.

So everyone looked at each other, then one by one began to stand up and salute Victor respectfully. As for the ones who lost teeth on the ground, they were feeling aggrieved, as they had just got beaten for nothing.

“Young master, May I know why did you enter like that and began hitting the vice president?” asked one senior manager.

“That’s a question for her” Victor looked at Carla and asked “Do you know why Answer” He ordered.

Carla hesitated a little, wondering how to phrase it.

“It is my fault for not perfectly explaining your arrival to the employees and that made them act disrespectfully toward the young master,” she said at last. “Don’t worry young master, they will all be punished.”

“I didn’t punish you for that,” said Victor, while shaking his head, “I punished you because you did not come to pick me up yesterday from the airport. You made young master lose his face in front of his maid.”

This made Carla open her mouth in astonishment, not knowing what to say. Is this young master really that unreasonable or is he an idiot? maybe there was no need for her to act at all. He would probably ruin his own image by himself sooner or later.

Then Victor turned to the astonished managers,

“Now, about the farce in the company entrance, That will be your next job assignment, Before I leave the company today, I need you all to figure out who did it and then punish whoever participated. Now go do your jobs.” He ordered them.

They were not idiots and quickly understood what he meant, so they looked at Carla with blaming eyes.

“It is all your fault.” They thought.

Then they stood up, intending to return to their posts.
