Chapter 128 - Disciples And Gore Learning (R-16)

R-16 (scenes of murder and blood advise caution when reading the chapter)

Lee Ming wanted to argue against this "protective boyfriend" or rather a passionate murderer attitude, he didn't want Louis to get into trouble but seeing Theo there, he didn't want to talk about the subject that would embarrass him in front of the young man.

"Be good, go get me a guide. I need to buy some things and show Theo a bit of the city... When Ming-Yue is available, you should send a message to me, I need to arrange the meeting with the marquise too..."

Louis said patting Lee Ming on the bottom, further embarrassing Theo, but it made Lee Ming more flirtatious.

When Lee Ming left, Theo continued eating without saying anything or looking at Louis.

"Theo, you're going to be a butler-in-training and you're going to accompany young master Emery, that sort of thing is going to happen very often. The nobles behave well...much worse than me or our young master Emery, he will have to interact with them at some point"

"I get it"

Theo said looking up and looking at the serious Louis, he wanted to ask about the relationship of the two men, but he could be threatened by Louis if he asked that kind of question.

He didn't forget that Louis was a dangerous person and that he was only good for Bishop Darcy.

"He's mine, just that"

Louis said with a slightly evil smile, answering the question that was in the teenager's curious gaze. This made Theo shiver with fear. He understood that Lee Ming was a person of Louis and that he should be respectful at all times, he didn't want to wake up in a ditch.

This was very sad for Lee Ming who wanted to be friends with Theo who was a very serious young man but cute. Unfortunately, all he could manage was a polite smile and a slightly startled look.

Ming-Yue ended up coming back very late and still sleeping, Lee Ming much more excited was taking his two trusted disciples and teaching the secrets behind the Jiang-Li Hotel.

Which included introducing the cool butler who had a sharp eye and his first words shocked Lee Ming's two disciples:

"There is no support for lazy and useless rats, the only end for this is death"

Louis said with a polite smile brushing nonexistent dust off his white gloves, but this move strangely looked threatening to the two young disciples.

Josh: (...)

Austen: (...)

Lee Ming: *passionate sigh*

The two disciples didn't take the threat to heart despite the obedient look, after all, it was the first time they saw Louis and didn't know his position in their sponsor's family.

Wasn't he just a servant just like them?

Well, a few days later they would understand that it was better to treat Louis well when blood splashed on the walls of the VIP guest room.

The men's bodies were strewn across the beautifully decorated room, blood dripped from ceiling to floor, a dark red puddle formed beside the hole in the throat of a man who was known as a perverted little nobleman who was considered an enemy even in the district of whores.

However, that little nobleman was a cousin of a great nobleman and everyone was afraid of him because of that, so no one did anything against him and just endured, but now Josh looked at the dead man's pale body and scared look, the blood of the pervert it penetrated through the cracks in the woods and dripped outside over the pretty lake.

Austen noted carefully that besides the blood there were no other things, like intestines or organ pieces lying around, although all the blood and bodies were strewn across the floor he somehow felt were very refined murders and the blood spilled itself was purposeful.

He felt a fear coming from his gut as if the "gentle" and "polite" butler was putting all that blood out to show them.

A warning.

A terrible warning.

"Oh, you are here. Clean up the bodies... Set aside some of their belongings and their hands. I'll send it to some people later. Take this... this is an ointment to keep your hands from getting fresh for use. When you finish, let my disciple know in our room"

Louis said this by cleaning the used instruments that were smeared with blood, but strangely his gloves were clean and pure as the first snow of winter.

Tossing a dark blue pot to Austen who looked with big round eyes at the butler who walked out slowly after quickly putting away the "weapons" used in the kill.

Josh didn't have a mental barrier as big as Austen, he came from a small massacre in a noble territory, a nobleman who lusted after a pure-hearted peasant girl and who to not have tarnished honor had killed herself.

What unleashed the fury of the nobleman who killed an entire small village at the foot of a hill, of course, the authorities in the nearby town were horrified and tried to catch the culprit, but a group of bandits was placed as a scapegoat.

The young girl was Josh's sister and the villain was the only home he knew, he was very smart and with some skillful mastery of reading and numbers was employed in the nearby town, when he learned what happened was when the mayor was providing the funeral of his loved ones.

Somehow the nobleman learned of Josh's existence and escaped an assassination attempt, he fled all the way to the Kingdom of Dawn, ending up starving in the streets and being taken in by Lee Ming.

Austen has a slightly milder but no less painful history of hunger and despair, he was sold by his family for being handsome to get some silver coins to send his younger brother to a wizard school.

Austen who was considered an ordinary person was cattle for his own family, he had to understand that for the better living and status of the family he had to be sold.

He understood this very well and went without complaining, being resold to the prostitution district of the capital of the Kingdom of Dawn, with his delicate features like a fairy and eyes similar to snow foxes, the delicate and fragrant body, he won many customers.

Almost 10 years later was the moment Lee Ming found him. He has thrown in the gutter it was because of an incurable sexually transmitted disease, he was thrown away so as not to contaminate others.

In fact, he wasn't sick it was just that the magical power inside him wasn't awakened and was building up over the years in his veins, which made some parts of him swell and the skin deforms a little.

Fortunately, with oriental wisdom and with silver needles Lee Ming managed to release Austen's magical power and he could even become a mage if he wanted, he was very talented at that.

Austen cried a lot that day, but instead of being a talented wizard, he decided to follow Lee Ming and study magic in an uncompromising way, just to know how to defend himself and be useful to the hotel.

Josh went out to get the tools to clean up the crime scene, while Austen took a small glass sphere from his leather bag which was a small dimensional item that Lee Ming will present to him when he has reached the School Wizard level which is the level 4 in the hierarchy.

At nearly 35 it wasn't a big deal in today's society, but for someone like Austen and Lee Ming, it was cause for celebration.

"What are you doing?" a young man's voice sounded in the room and the night breeze came from the door clearing the blood-heavy air a little.

"Young Theo, I'm just going to shoot the scene. I'm sure Lord Louis will want to send these images to some people"

Austen said turning to face the 14-year-old who wore a smaller butler's outfit and lighter in color than Louis, the scarf around his neck was a pale blue color which matched those snake eyes that looked even brighter in the dim light outside room.

Theo looked at the whole bloody scene and felt his stomach get heavy, he thought everyone here was a little crazy for not caring about such things as if life was like grass.

He noted Austen who had an indifferent gaze, but his pale lips and slightly trembling hands betrayed the fear and disgust he felt for the scene before their eyes, but he was doing what was expected of him.

Despite a heavy stomach, Theo had seen worse scenes, a ferocious pandemic ravaged the orphanage he lived in just before he was sent to Matteo Abbey, children moaning in despair and adults even more maddened with pain, some seeking death or dying smothered in silent screams from the pain of illness.

However, so much blood and the heavy smell of iron and death made him a little sick, but like Austen, he forced himself to stay and observe everything in detail.

"Go ahead, I'll just watch," Theo said looking at the scene intently.

Louis will warn him that he'd better get used to this sort of thing, as Emery's life would be targeted many times, which would force them to act fiercely and take lives to protect their master.

It's not as if Theo had a choice, after all, it was to follow Emery or get kicked out by Louis because he knew too much.

Kicked out meant death.
