Beast Hack: Customizing Beasts and Capturing Beauties

Cassius sat in his room. He was impatiently waiting for the reports from the staff of the Aurelius family about the three women.

When the staff returned with the report, Cassius immediately snatched the document from his hands, reading it.

But the more he read it, the more surprised he was. "What the hell is this information?"

He skimmed through the details again to check if the document was true.

---

Loreia Luxoria – Registered as an office worker. No talent. No recorded combat ability. Failed Awakening.

Lucius Luxoria – Brother of Loreia Luxoria. Also registered as a civilian. No talent. Failed Awakening.

Cassius gripped the report tighter before slamming it down onto the table and growled. "What the hell is this nonsense? This is all you found?"

The staff members flinched, exchanging nervous glances before one of them, a thin, glasses-wearing man, stepped forward hesitantly.

"Y-Yes, Master Cassius. This is the only official information available."

Cassius's fingers twitched as he snapped. "You're telling me that three women—one of whom is an S-Rank Beast Fighter—left behind nothing but this?"

"No combat history? No recorded affiliations? No noble connections?"

The staff swallowed hard and nodded. "That is correct, Master."

Cassius' jaw tightened. "This doesn't make any sense at all."

He lifted his gaze and glared at the staff. "Did you at least verify this information? Check multiple sources. Cross-reference city records?"

The staff nodded rapidly. "Y-Yes, Master! We checked the noble registries, the military records, and even the Beast Tamer Association archives. There's nothing out of the ordinary."

Cassius scoffed. "You expect me to believe that? You saw what I saw! A failed awakening? No talent?"'

He leaned forward and became cold. "Are you seriously telling me that an ordinary office worker just so happens to have an S-Rank Beast Fighter protecting her?"

The staff member wiped the sweat from his brow. "Master Cassius, I swear this is all the data we could find. It's as if… they lived completely normal, unremarkable lives up until now."

Cassius gritted his teeth. "That's impossible. Someone this powerful doesn't just come out of nowhere!"

One of the other staffs hesitated before speaking up. "There is… one possibility, Master Cassius."

Cassius's gaze snapped to him instantly. "Then speak."

The staff hesitated before saying, "It's possible that someone erased their past records. There are only a handful of people who could do something like that—either powerful nobility with deep connections, or someone with extremely advanced hacking skills."

Cassius's eyes narrowed. "So you're saying that either they had backing from someone powerful enough to rewrite their existence… or they did it themselves?"

The staff nodded quickly. "Y-Yes, that would explain why no combat records exist."

Cassius exhaled slowly, his fingers tapping against the desk. "So either way, they're hiding something."

Another staff member, a middle-aged man, spoke up hesitantly. "Master Cassius, there is also the possibility that they are using a false identity."

Cassius's eyes flicked toward him. "Explain."

The man cleared his throat. "If they were skilled enough, they could have falsified their backgrounds. Some mercenaries, spies, or rogue beast tamers completely erase their past identities and live under a new one. They could be former assassins, military elites, or something else entirely."

Cassius leaned back in his chair, processing the information.

Luna, Liora, and Loreia. Who the hell were they?

They didn't act like mercenaries. They weren't from any noble house he recognized. And yet…

They looked down on him.

Not just as a noble. As if he were beneath them entirely.

"Tch." Cassius clicked his tongue in irritation.

"So we either have three unknown monsters hiding in plain sight… or someone is pulling the strings behind them."

He then turned toward the staff again, tapping his fingers against the desk.

"It says here that Loreia was just an office worker."

He closed the document before tossing it aside and directed his gaze into the staff. "Then go to this so-called 'office' and investigate." Stay tuned with My Virtual Library Empire

One of the staff members hesitated for a fraction of a second before cautiously asking, "Master Cassius, you mean… infiltrate the workplace?"

Cassius's eyes narrowed. "What do you think?"

The man immediately lowered his head. "Understood, Master."

Cassius leaned forward, lacing his fingers together. "I want every piece of information they have on her—her work history, her performance records, her relationships with colleagues, even her daily routine."

He let the words sink in before adding with a smirk, "And if something feels even slightly off… I want to know about it."

Another staff member cleared his throat. "And if they refuse to give us information?"

Cassius exhaled slowly, shaking his head. "Oh, I don't believe in refusals."

He smiled coldly. "Everyone talks with the right... motivation."

The staff members visibly stiffened, but none of them dared to question him.

Cassius then continued, tapping his finger on the desk. "If she really worked there... there should be records. If not… then we'll know for sure if she's hiding something."

One of the staff members nodded quickly. "We'll check the archives, Master. Cross-reference employee logs and financial transactions."

Another one added, "We can question some of her coworkers under the guise of a background verification."

Cassius nodded approvingly. "Good. I want results—and fast."

The staff members bowed deeply.

"Yes, Master Cassius!"

Without hesitation, they turned on their heels and rushed out of the chamber, ready to carry out his orders.

Cassius leaned back in his chair, his smirk lingering as he tapped his fingers against the desk.

"Let's see what kind of ghost you really are, Loreia Luxoria."

Meanwhile, at Loreia's previous office, the atmosphere was a bit heavy.

There were stacks of paperwork cluttering desks and emails piled up unanswered.

Employees sat at their stations, some sighing audibly, others muttering complaints under their breath as they struggled to keep up with the workload.

"I can't believe I'm saying this, but I actually miss Loreia."

A woman at a nearby desk, adjusting her glasses, let out a frustrated sigh. "You're not the only one. Ever since she left, things have been… a mess."

Another worker, flipping through documents, grumbled under his breath. "I always thought she just had a light workload, but now? Now I realize she was carrying half of this office's responsibilities by herself."
