The Lazy Genius of the Duke’s Family (22)

Magical Genius (2)

Xavier couldn’t believe what he was in. It was a split second of “Oh no!” And in that split second, he was completely overpowered.

That too to Benio.

But that was the stark reality. No matter what Benio had done, Xavier realized that his entire body had become stiff as if he had been hit by a paralyzing spell.

Benio smiled as he looked at the confused Xavier. The shock and disbelief in Xavier’s eyes were completely visible to Benio.

“I’ve always had a lot of questions for the butler.”

Benio released the hand that was holding Xavier’s neck, but Xavier still couldn’t move. Benio crouched down in front of Xavier.

“Why did you poison me?”

“…!”

Xavier’s eyes grew even wider. He had never imagined that Benio would know. Benio curled the corners of his mouth as he watched Xavier so surprised.

“For some reason, I started having headaches, feeling stuffy inside, and feeling irritable and irritable all the time. I thought that was just how I was.”

The poison that Xavier used was not a poison that could kill a person. However, it was able to cleverly manipulate the human mind.

It was a poison that could ruin a person’s personality through periodic and long-term pain.

“So, you see, I was poisoned. And for quite some time.”

The poison has now become food for the Poisonous Emperor’s Divine Art, and has become the foundation for learning the Guyang Divine Art. Since Benio has learned the Guyang Divine Art, he will no longer be able to increase the achievements of the Poisonous Emperor’s Divine Art, but the Poisonous Emperor’s Divine Art will be of great help in dealing with poison in the future.

Since it was possible to immediately replace the poison with air power using it as a nutrient, it was assumed that the poison was no longer effective against Benio.

‘It may not be to the extent of being incurable, though.’

Xavier’s secret plot turned out to be a blessing in disguise for Benio. Benio poked Xavier’s acupoints with his fingers.

“I always wondered that too.”

Javier was keenly aware of the changes taking place in his body. But there was nothing he could do, as he was unable to move a single finger.

“I’m a butler, so why do I smell like an assassin? Is it because I have to handle poison? Or is it because I have to be killed in an emergency?”

Buzz.

The corners of Xavier’s eyebrows twitched. He had a gut feeling that everything had been revealed. But Benio didn’t even give him a chance to say anything.

Kkuddukk.

Xavier’s muscles began to twist at the point where Benio had pointed. Xavier’s eyes began to slowly fill with fear from the unknown, not knowing what was going to happen to him.

“Oh, you must be wondering what this is?”

Benio poked Xavier’s body with his fingers. Benio’s hand was filled with a small amount of air power. The air power of the Guyangshinkong was explosive and rough, but Benio was able to control the amount of air power that he could put on his fingers.

“It’s called acupuncture. I don’t think it’s available here, but it’s a really interesting technique.”

There was no acupuncture here. However, in the Central Plains, even the local doctors knew about a person’s blood and acupuncture.

The hundreds of blood vessels in the human body each have different meanings and produce different effects depending on how they are used.

Before learning martial arts, the first thing that had to be learned and memorized was this bloodline. However, that was not what Benio was trying to do to Xavier right now.

“The human body is mysterious. Some even call it a microcosm. That’s why I intend to show you the culmination of the ignorance that is not found here. It’s your body.”

Benio spoke softly, and Xavier felt that those words were more frightening than the voice of a devil rising from the abyss.

And that feeling was not wrong.

“Let’s start with about five minutes. But I guarantee you that it won’t take more than two minutes before you feel like telling me everything you know.”

Xavier shuddered. He desperately wanted to tell Benio not to do it, but with his blood clots blocked, not even a sound came out.

Blink, blink, blink.

All he could do was blink. Benio smirked and pressed Xavier’s back hard.

“But at least try to hold out for ten minutes. You’ve been addicting me for five years, so shouldn’t you feel that way?”

With a soft but cruel word from Benio, his finger pressed hard against the last acupoint.

Knock knock!

Crackle!

Snap!

That moment.

Javier screamed in agony, feeling as if his whole body was being torn apart into a thousand, ten thousand pieces.

“Ugh, euaaaah….”

Tony groaned in pain with both eyes closed. Even while unconscious, Tony’s condition was so messed up that he unconsciously groaned in pain.

There were traces of sharp dagger cuts and torture all over it.

Gulp.

Blood mixed with saliva dripped from the corner of Tony’s mouth. Then, a crunching sound was heard.

“Ugh….”

There was a rattling sound of the lock shaking. Tony, who had lost consciousness at the sound, opened his eyes with difficulty as the pain hit his entire body.

Rattling.

After a while, the door opened with a clanking sound. Tony’s vision was blurry and he couldn’t see properly. But he continued to mumble, blood dripping from his mouth.

“I… don’t know…. Really….”

Swish.

Tony didn’t know who had come in, but he kept denying it, saying it wasn’t true. Then, something vague approached Tony.

Shudder.

“Please… don’t hit me…. It hurts…. I really… don’t know….”

Tony shivered, thinking it was Xavier. But then a warm hand rested on Tony’s head.

“Tony.”

It was Benio.

Tony’s eyes twitched as he recognized Benio’s voice.

“Master? Are you Master Benio?”

“okay.”

“I… I didn’t say anything even though Butler Xavier told me to. In fact, I didn’t even know what he wanted me to say, but I didn’t say anything anyway. Did I do a good job?”

Tony spoke with his eyes swollen shut and unable to see properly, baring his teeth. Benio looked up at the sky as he watched Tony.

Tony had not left Benio’s side for months. Then, he fell in love with Benio’s appearance and followed him, even saying that he wanted to learn swordsmanship.

And Tony remained loyal to Benio.

Benio had a loyalty to Tony that Tony didn’t have, but Tony kept it.

Tony endured Xavier’s brutal torture without even knowing what to say.

“I guess I have to be sincere.”

“master?”

“Go to sleep. When you wake up, many things will be different.”

“As expected of you, you are the master. That’s why I endured it….”

Bam.

Benio touched Tony’s transfusion site. Tony immediately fainted. Benio untied the strings that were binding Tony’s body.

Knock, knock.

Then, he pressed acupressure on several critical wounds and picked Tony up. The blood flowing out of Tony’s body soaked Benio’s body, but Benio didn’t even frown.

Tony, who kept his promise for himself.

Benio lifted Tony up and kicked the door of the warehouse where Tony was held. Tony was held in a warehouse in Sector 3.

Then, Chris Junior, who had guided Benio there, opened his mouth wide and his eyes widened. Benio spoke to Junior.

“Bring me the most skilled priest. Potions are good too. Money is fine.”

“Oh, yes. I understand.”

Chris Junior jumped like a fly.

The black market is part of the Empire’s underground economy.

This meant that since it was not legal, imperial officials would turn a blind eye to problems that arose in the black market.

That’s why the black market had to prepare a lot.

There has never been an instance where preparation resulted in loss.

That’s why Chris Junior, the head of the Black Market Academy branch, hurriedly brought the potion. Then Benio took it and sprinkled it on Tony’s body.

Chewy!

It healed with a sound like flesh burning. It was a mid-level potion that could even reattach severed limbs. And the price was evil.

The potion business was one of the temple’s main sources of income, and the profits earned from it were used to help the poor of the empire. That’s why the price of potions was so high that only those who could afford them could afford them.

One of those mid-level potions cost a family of four a month’s living expenses. But Benio didn’t feel any regret.

person.

The value of one person who has absolute faith in you is a value that cannot be exchanged for a single achievement. Benio checked Tony’s condition and let out the breath he had been holding.

‘The wounds and bleeding were severe. Thanks to the potion, I was able to overcome the dangerous situation.’

Javier didn’t kill Tony. He must have figured out that there was more to find out from Tony. So while his condition was critical, it wasn’t life-threatening.

Benio said to Chris.

“I’ll make sure you pay for the potion.”

“yes.”

Of course, Benio tried to save Tony, but Tony was a stranger to Chris. Benio said to Chris.

“Price can be replaced with information.”

“Are you talking about information?”

“Yeah, information.”

Chris’s eyes sparkled and he couldn’t understand why Benio had tried to save Tony, who appeared to be a servant. And why that servant was locked up in the warehouse, covered in blood.

“It is a fight between succession factions within the Kepler family.”

“yes?”

“My butler, Javier, was a trained assassin, and I was addicted to him. I found out about this recently, and Javier was suspicious of my changed appearance, so he tortured Tony.”

“Now, wait a minute. Please stop for a moment, Your Majesty.”

Chris waved his hand, but Benio didn’t even blink.

“And the one who gave the order to Xavier is the Shiver family. They are a vassal family of my family, the Kepler family, and also a member of the pro-Magia faction.”

“I didn’t hear that….”

Benio looked at Chris and smiled. He had a dejected expression. What Benio had told him was definitely important information.

But there was also information there that you shouldn’t hear.

For example, the fact that the Shiver family was the one who poisoned Benio for a long time and sent an assassin disguised as a butler.

“The Junior family. A typical neutral family, right? But what can we do about this? Now that we know the secret of the Shiver family.”

“master….”

Chris Junior looked at Benio with resentful eyes, sensing that he had deliberately created this situation.

But the chains were already put around his ankles.

“I’m not asking you to take my side.”

Benio said to Chris.

“If the Junior family gets something good out of this, it means that they want you to not forget me. So isn’t this also a deal?”

“….”

It is a major weakness that Schieber directly poisoned Kepler’s second son, Benio, and appointed a trained assassin as his butler.

If Junior digs into this, Siber will have to give up a lot, and Junior will be able to take it.

“Do you think your lord doesn’t know?”

But all these facts would reach the ears of Duke Kepler, who knew everything that went on within his family, within his own fence.

Benio nodded.

“Of course you know. But do you think His Majesty cares about such things? He was the one who turned a blind eye to the Junior family being forced into hiding.”

Chris’s face hardened. It was a kind of secret. And for the Junior family, it was a shame, a hidden history of the family that must be avenged.

“Are you trying to excite me now?”

“No. I’m saying I’m the same as you.”

Benio looked straight into Chris’ eyes and said.

“I, too, have half of the blood of the Euper family flowing through my body.”

Chris’s eyes widened.
