Chapter 258: Bigshot

A few hours later...

The road was crowded with hunters in front of the Western Central Bank. It was early morning but so many hunters were there to withdraw cash that they earned from hunting monsters all night long.

They were all from prestigious families, rich, looked beautiful and were all C-class hunters and above.

In that crowd, Viktor walked past every single person without any of them noticing his presence. He was making his way to the run-down orphanage right beside the bank.

"The crowd is killing me..."

He barely walked out of the crowd and finally stood in front of the door of the orphanage called White Lotus. A small orphanage made with a wooden structure.

At that moment, Viktor saw an expensive car parking in the parking space and a fine young woman came out of it. She looked 25, fine skin with no hint of imperfection, a curvy body, a wide chest that barely fit into her dress, a tall figure and short pink hair. Her eyes were shining bright green so only one thing came into Viktor’s mind at that moment.

’A flamingo?...’ He was wrong... it was an elf and her hair colour wasn’t natural.

After reading through her record, Viktor turned his head and went inside the orphanage without paying any attention to her.

’What a waste of my precious time... she’s just an ignorant rich brat’s kid who thinks she owns the world-_-. Donating the orphanage and investing in the kids to make her bodyguard? That’s absurd.’

Yes, she was Viktor’s type, she was one of his types... But Viktor prefers black hair, cute and knows how not to annoy.

He shook his head and went straight into the room where the baby was sleeping. He was using an invisible spell so there was nobody in the mortal world who could detect him. It was a king guardian-level spell.

Viktor looked around and saw a room full of babies sleeping peacefully. There were elves and demons but most of them were human.

Then, a baby caught Viktor’s eyes whom he saw clearly in his future. Black hair with a hint of green, dull green eyelashes, and a mole below its lips. and pointy long ears. The baby was sleeping peacefully wrapped in clothes that looked like rags.

His instinct was telling him it was the key that he was searching for. It was also the kid whom he took care of in the future.

The baby boy who carried the soul of a nameless but brilliant god, sleeping like an angel in Viktor’s lap. Viktor touched its round cheeks and poked it.

"It’s soft-_-... Are babies always this tiny and fragile? I feel like it may break if I move it too quickly-_-."

Suddenly, one major thing hammered inside his head.

"How do I take care of a baby?"

He became speechless...

At that moment, the woman whom he saw earlier came into the room by banging on the wooden door. All the sleeping babies jolted from their sleep and started to cry. The woman looked around and saw a few elves but the one she was looking for wasn’t there.

"Where is it?" The woman asked a sister who takes care of the babies.

The woman again asked, "Where is it? The elf with green eyes? Didn’t I give you the money yesterday? I needed that baby for my experiment!! And that thing is gone! I am cancelling my donations and all the investment contracts. I’m done with this orphanage."

The sister fell on her knees and begged by grabbing her leg, "Please don’t do that to us! We will search for the baby so please give us a week! We barely have any money to feed our kids today! Let alone a whole year! If you cancel the donation, all of us will die from starvation."

The woman pulled her leg and said, "Don’t touch me with your filthy hands! Why do you even run an orphanage when you don’t have any money to feed yourselves? Do I look like your personal bank account? Stop relying on us and try to earn it by yourself."

Viktor stood at the corner and watched the whole drama in front of him. For his invisibility, nobody could sense his or the baby’s presence in the room. He was just sleeping quietly in his lap but it was not natural. He was under a magic spell.

The woman who was nagging for the baby was actually someone very important.

In Oslar, one of the biggest countries of the Western continent, there are 4 major clans of the elven race. Hydra, Shadow, Deavnak and Wotou.

A few years ago, the clan leader of Deavnak secretly had a wife outside the clan. After the news was out, the previous clan leader ordered his men to kill the woman to protect the reputation of the clan. Little did they know, they already had a son and somehow he survived.

After that incident, the clan leader’s aunt somehow found the existence of the son and decided to take him in. Since he carried noble blood, he ought to have special plasma in his body. And he was also the biggest pawn to make her the clan leader by killing her brother.

But those were all nothing but pipe dreams because the baby was stolen by someone.

Viktor looked at the sleeping baby in his lap and again touched its cheek. ’You’re always a big shot no matter where you go. Everyone tries to take advantage of you for their gain and then, they kick you out. Poor soul..I will make sure to give you a good life and help you to get your revenge.’

He then slowly walked past and went outside the orphanage. On his way, he saw a woman with kids, probably going back to their house. So he quickly glanced at her record to learn how to take care of one.

It wasn’t easy at all. Her life was a hellish one.

Viktor sighed and cast healing magic to wake the baby from his sleep. All of his fragileness, and sleepiness went away and quickly, he opened his eyes. His eyes were bright green just like his aunt and seeing Viktor’s face, he smiled by showing a few baby teeth.

"Hehehe.." the baby laughed.

"Why are you laughing-_-?" He spoke the language of gods so in the baby’s ears, they sounded like beeps. The baby was confused because it was something that no mortal has ever heard of. The language of gods is something that will always confuse mortals and it will make them scared, confused or at peace.

Viktor then switched his language to the language the Westerners use and again said, "So you can’t understand the language of gods, huh? I guess I need to wait until you’re finally 50 years old."

Viktor looked at the clear sky and thought, ’I guess I won’t be able to enjoy the sunlight for 100 years. But first, let’s try some unique food this world has to offer! Then clothes, some expensive watches maybe? And of course, give Yir an important job before going inside. I can’t let Yir in because he is acting suspiciously. I need to hide this baby from Yir no matter what it costs.

He then went inside his dimension room to give the baby to Uranium.

*MATSER, welcome back.*

"Yes, can you prepare a bed and some clothes? I need to take care of this baby from now on." He took off his jacket and said, "System 009, is the god-tier concealment item work against time trap spells?"

[Negative, the item works with the universal time. It doesn’t affect the flow of time of the user.]

"So if I stay inside a time trap spell for some centuries, it won’t trigger my deadline, right"

[Alternative. It’s safe to use a time trap spell. After all, the item is built by calculating the user’s future. The item is only built for Viktor E. North for limited use. The item will be destroyed after the user complete his quest]

"I see." He rubbed his chin and looked at the baby who was trying to catch the floating cat Uranium. He looked hyped so Viktor approached him and sat near the baby.

"You’re a nameless baby. There’s no name in your record book.."

The baby smiled at Viktor and again looked at Uranium who was trying to gain its attention. Viktor pouted his lips and lifted the baby. "Oi kid, do you want a name? Since you were nameless even in your previous life, I shall grant you a name and perform your naming ceremony when you’re 10 years old. You’re too small for that ceremony since you’re just a mortal now."

The baby kept smiling and then, he grabbed Viktor’s hair.

"-_-?"

Uranium started to take pictures because the whole situation seemed funny to him. *Baby, look at the camera!*

"Oi Uranium! Help me here!" Viktor yelled.

*Baby!!! Here! See? It’s a fish!* The floating cat projected a fish with his holographic system to catch the kid’s attention and to take some good pictures.

"Hah.. what am I going to do with this kid... "
