Transmigrated into a reversed world
Chapter 204 - 204: Sir, we are short of three people.

Cyra encountered the same people as Nicole but she broke their mind swiftly, uncovering flashes of white sterile walls and hooked machines.

She couldn't get more information before the man showed signs of exploding due to the mechanism set in the brain.

Cyra quickly slit his throat; she wasn't about to spend more money rebuilding the house—no matter how rich she was.

Under the eerie glow of the moons, the stench of blood mingled with the cool breeze as Cyra and Nicole purged the townspeople.

Their numbers reduced significantly when Cyra and Nicole were done. Cyra sent Viktor a message to dispose of the bodies cleanly.

Seeing her work was done, she flashed back to the mansion, she saw a bulge on the bed and knew Zane was back.

She checked the time—4:00 a.m. She'd spent the entire night out and hadn't spent a second with Zane.

With a regretful sigh, she stripped off her clothes, tossed them into the washing machine, and took a quick bath.

Returning to the room, she climbed the bed, pressing a kiss on Zane's forehead she wrapped her arms around his waist, pulling him into her embrace as she closed her eyes.

…..

The next day, Viktor turned in his bed and let out a groan when he thought of the work he was supposed to do.

"Master, wake up…" Pain hissed, gloating at Viktor's busy day, who asked Viktor to torture it in the name of bringing out its potential.

Pain grimaced, recalling the torment of last night—how Viktor struck every acupoint in its body.

The motion of waking Viktor up became aggressive; Pain whipped Viktor with its tail.

"Ugh! Stop!" Viktor got irritated and flung Pain forward. Sleep finally cleared from his mind, sitting up, he shot Pain a glare. ''Try that again, and I will peel out your scales.''

Pain shivered, hiding under the bed knowing fully well Viktor would do as he said.

The last time that happened, he knew his master wasn't normal—who the hell inflicted pain on their beasts when they both shared the same pain?

Only its master could be that abnormal.

Viktor snorted and swung his legs off the bed. After doing some stretches, he prepared for the day and left the room, chewing on some grapes.

Pain curled around his wrist like a bracelet. As they walked down the hallway, they passed several staff members.

''Good morning.'' They greeted him as they passed; Viktor nodded in response and opened the file Nicole sent to him.

The list of eliminated people and their location flashed on his hologram screen, he scrolled through and frowned.

"Hmm… Three spies were found in the staff quarters.'' Muttering softly, a surge of fury filled his heart at the Dark Organization's audacity to send more people.

His good mood soured. Spitting out the grape seed, he changed course and headed back upstairs.

Striding to the west wing, he passed various doors with name tags and stopped in front of one.

He scanned his hologram screen against the door panel; the red colour shifted to green, and the door unlocked with a click. He entered and closed the door after him.

Inside a pale, cold woman lay lifelessly on the bed. Viktor's nose wrinkled at the decomposing smell and quickly threw the woman in his space together with the bedcovers.

He opened the window, letting the foul air out and cleared the room of the woman's belongings. It was as if she'd never been there at all.

Viktor moved with practiced precision, revealing just how experienced he was at this.

When the smell dissipated, he closed the windows and left the room, looking as good as new.

He repeated this for the other two before leaving the staff quarters. Viktor passed Kyle and gave him a nod, passing a message along.

Kyle's eyes flashed. When he reached the dining area, everyone was present—except the three who were missing.

When Camille noticed their absence, she figured they were just sleeping in. Not being close to them, she quickly put it out of her mind.

As noon came, and when they gathered again to have their lunch, some people noticed three people were missing.

Hushed murmurs passed around the table as they ate the meal the chefs prepared for their final round of competition.

Kyle walked in, and the room fell silent. "Place your votes on the meal, the one with the largest votes wins," Kyle announced as he gave the nervous chefs a brief glance.

The others quickly placed their votes but a bold woman called out to Kyle. "Sir, we are short of three people. We haven't seen them all morning."

Kyle paused slightly, his expression remained the same. "Oh, I almost forgot. Those three left the island yesterday due to family issues and we won't be hiring them again." He broke the news calmly to the others.

Others shared a glance, feeling strange that those people suddenly had family issues at night and couldn't wait for the next day to leave.

But the butler had no use lying to them so they believed, only shaking their heads internally at them missing such good jobs.

Only Camille sensed something was off, but she shrugged it off, feeling she was overthinking.

Everyone put those three at the back of their mind and focused on placing their votes.

Three pictures of the chefs appeared in their inboxes. Each person clicked on the one they wanted to vote for, recalling the taste of the dishes.

Kyle pulled out a chair and sat, waiting patiently for everyone to make their choice.

Twenty minutes passed then Kyle clicked on his hologram screen and went to the voting page.

The three chefs held their breaths as they stared at Kyle's action. Kyle took his time to go through the vote count, then he turned to them.

"Gina Rubis. Congratulations, Follow me to the Mansion to begin your duties." The black-haired woman was stunned but quickly snapped back to reality at Kyle's calm gaze.

Gina suppressed the squeal in her throat, nodding calmly, though her bright eyes gave her away.

As soon as Kyle excused himself and left, Gina burst into a loud laugh. The others gathered around, offering their congratulations.

The other two chefs were disappointed but wished her well; they could only blame their poor skills.

Gina smiled under their gaze, her heart leaping with elation at this moment. She never imagined she'd win—it still felt surreal.

"Let's go." Kyle's voice snapped her out of the moment. She quickly followed him, not wanting to risk losing the job on her first day.

Meanwhile, Viktor had gathered all the bodies and cleared away all their belongings.
