Umilia felt elated to see Viktor brought something for her as well. She received it with a slight blush on her cheeks and eagerly opened it and saw an elegant yet simple silver necklace.
"This is…" Umilia's eyebrows raised as she carefully picked it up when Viktor took it off from her hands, "Let me," He said as he stepped behind her and put the necklace around her neck as Umilia touched it with a resplendent smile.
"This is no ordinary necklace. It will let me know in case you are in danger. I am glad I got this, especially since that so-called Death Queen has been picking on you. Next time she shows herself, I will be there," Viktor said as his eyes turned crimson briefly.
He had heard just now how his women came upon the Death Queen, and if not for Vanessa and Nyissa showing up at the right time, something could have happened to Umilia.
Umilia softly nodded with a loving smile and felt happy to feel his care and warmth.Taya, who had finished the sweet rainbow fruit quicker than she realized, was happy to see Umilia receive a gift as well, a gift that had a useful function too.
Seeing that Taya had finished eating the fruit, Umilia asked with a smile, "How are you feeling now?"
Taya caressed her face as she said with a glazed look, "I feel like…I have been reborn. I have never felt so energetic and young. Even when I was young, I never felt like this. Was this magical fruit one of a kind?" Taya asked since she felt such a special fruit should be rare.
Viktor shook his head as he said, "There are plenty, but if you eat again, you won't get the same benefits. Probably half and so on. I will try to get one more some time in the future."
Taya softly said with a smile, "It's fine. Getting 100 years more is something I dreamed of and not something I expected to happen in reality. So I don't want to impose on the fairy realm any more than I should. There must be a good reason why the Spirit Guardian isolated that realm. It must be to not let our mortal desires and greed taint that realm."
Viktor chuckled as he kissed Taya's head, "I am sure Seraphina would like you."
The three laughed and talked as Viktor cracked jokes before finally he had to ask about something important, "Since this VBIOS company are the bad guys carrying out secret and illegal experiments, wouldn't it be easier if I try and infiltrate their company?""What do you mean?" Taya asked with knitted brows.
"Since you all spooked them by crashing their lab, they will be extra careful and secretive this time. Most probably, we won't even know what they are up to until all hell gets loose. So wouldn't it be better if I take up a job in their company and then see what I can find from within?" Viktor asked with one of his brows raised.
Umilia nodded with her finger on her chin, "He has a point. Eva's intelligence networks might not be able to get any more information if they upgraded their security. But as history has always proved, an insider or a spy is the best way to get solid information."
Taya's expression became thoughtful as she briefly shook her head and said, "But even then, they must have safeguards against moles within their own company. These days most of the big companies have their own rules and methods to deal with spies. Any confidential and important information is eyes only of the top management. Nobody below them would have any idea about this."
Viktor's expression remained the same as he asked with a smile, "I know. So how about I try and get close to Hana Su, the new CEO of VBIOS?"
"You know about her? I thought you never watched the news," Taya said with a skeptical look.
"Ahem, I just saw her face on the big screens out there, and out of curiosity, I just checked out about her a bit more. Anyways, the important point here is that I heard she took control of almost all the departments in that company. So doesn't this idea seem good?" Viktor asked as he lifted his brows up and down.
Umilia asked with a blinking expression, "You plan to seduce her to get information?"
Viktor shrugged as he said, "Why not? Trust me. I have done this hundreds of times, and they always fall in the end. This is the easiest way without much risk."
Taya harrumphed, feeling that he was also interested because this CEO was a beauty. But thinking about his plan's feasibility, she said, "It is. But it's not easy to follow up. How do you even plan to get close to her? You can't just waltz in there and talk to her. You can't also use your Phantasm Eyes to manipulate her into giving you information since she might have some safeguards considering the field she is working in. With the Death Queen involved, it would be a safe bet to say that supernatural beings are helping them. So you might blow your cover right away if you use your eyes."
"No, no. I know. That's why I said I would do it the old-school way. No eye tricks or anything. Just pure seduction at its best," Viktor said with a wink.
"But what kind of job can you get to get close to her? Even if there is one, I am sure they will vet your complete profile," Umilia voiced her concerns.
Viktor nodded as he said, "That's where I would need your and Eva's help. Just find me a suitable job and create a fake profile for me with the name Lucien. The rest I will handle," Viktor confidently said as Taya nodded, "Alright. This may not work, but I guess we don't have a choice."
