Transmigrated into a reversed world
Chapter 175 - 175: I’m like a child in front of both of you

Before he could react, Zane used his hair for momentum, flipping over his back to dodge the strike. Despite his hands still tied, he managed to wrap them around Viktor's neck, positioning his back against Viktor's as he pulled his arms forward to choke him.

Viktor thrashed his tail, his clawed hands sinking into Zane's arms. Blood streamed into the water, mingling and vanishing without a trace.

He struggled to unhook Zane's hold on his back, but Zane's grip was tight and didn't budge, a ripple of water moved around them.

Viktor felt his consciousness slipping. He struggled harder, creating ripples in the water, but they soon stilled as bubbles escaped his lips. His body went limp, drifting to the side.

Zane released his hold, dragging Viktor along as he swarmed to the surface; coming out from the water screen, he took deep gulps of air, his chest heaving with each breath.

Water dripped from the ends of his hair, and his soaked clothes clung tightly to his body. Zane hoped his message was clear: their secret must remain hidden.

He carried the unconscious Viktor back to the castle, removed their wet clothes, hung them to dry, and wrapped both himself and Viktor in towels.

After a while, Viktor gasped out loud and sat up quickly, he relaxed when he found himself on the couch. He rubbed his forehead and sighed, not thinking he would lose in water.

"Here." He saw a snack wrap in front of him, he looked up and saw Zane munching on chips, with crumbs staining his lips.

"Ahahaha…." Viktor laughed, seeing Zane's cute form and remembering the battle; he shook his head and took the snacks.

Opening it, he grabbed some with his hands and put them in his mouth, his cheeks were full as he munched on them.

"Um…spill…mm," he spoke with a full mouth, his eyes bright and he wanted to know their juicy secret since his own was out already. He felt relaxed and chewing on his biscuits while waiting for Zane to talk.

"I'm more than a thousand years old." Zane dropped the bomb suddenly.

"Cough…cough…" Viktor choked and kept on coughing. His eyes were filled with tears, and Zane had to give him water to calm down.

"What?!" Viktor's surprised scream echoed through the room. It was all he could manage after catching his breath.

He was flabbergasted and drew closer to Zane; before Zane could react, he felt his cheeks being pinched and patted, and Viktor murmuring.

"His face is real, not fake…" Zane slapped Viktor's hands away and moved further away from his grasp.

"Are you a vampire like your wife? Mmm no, I haven't seen you drink blood, and you eat normal food." Viktor's thinking and clueless expression were evident on his face; he thought up more solutions.

"Or are you a zombie, no, no. They are disgusting in the movies, and you don't smell decay, and they are not real anyways….or an undying person?" Viktor's last words finally strayed to the truth.

Viktor was thinking when he noticed Zane's shocked expression, which was a dead giveaway.

"Damn! How is that even possible?" Viktor said with a disbelieving expression but found Zane nodding to his words.

Viktor slumped back on the couch, leaving his unfinished snacks beside him. The revelation was too much to process—how can anyone live that long?

"I'm like a child in front of both of you." He sighed, finally understanding why mistress had called him a boy.

"Oh well, that's that; I promise not to speak of this to anyone," Viktor said in seriousness. He finally understood Zane's message: revealing his secret could cost him his life.

Zane who was opening another snack wrap looked at his firm sincere gaze and he nodded,

"The same for me," Zane promised to keep Viktor's secret too, and he continued eating his chocolate chips.

Sharing their secret brought them closer. They spent hours together, watching tear-jerking dramas while munching on snacks, around them was filled with empty wrappers and ice cream containers.

Meanwhile, Mira was exhausted after not seeing even the shadows of the beast; they both looked at each other and laughed at their dust-stained and disarrayed hair.

"I don't think anything is here. Maybe someone is stealing it…do you leave your windows open whenever you're not around?"

"Hm," Louis answered, and his eyes widened; her words made his mind go in that direction; he thanked Mira and saw her to the door; he made sure to always close the windows from now on, which drew the end of Greed's happiness.
