"Sir her broken mind is easy to manipulate but my ability can't do what your asking "
"Sage will help with the other part so don't stress"
"Yes Sir but still will this work?"
"Well it should if we do it right"
After finishing their talk with Santino, Shoto told Grysilia about the DiCaprio incident and brought her to their house. Catalina was awake but her eyes had no life in them,she was a breathing corpse.
Grysilia looked at the dead body impaled on fence outside. This incident really brought out her master's cruelty.
Shoto had also brought all the servants in the house to get their memories altered. He wanted control over the people of this house.
While Shoto and Grysilia were discussing on how to alter the memories of Catalina and her servants a man burst through the window with a knife in his shoulder.
"Huff... huff.. huff"
It was Mikel he couldn't breathe properly, his body that was as heavy as that of dead person and was being carried by torn twisted bleeding ankles.
He flopped onto the floor like a fish out of water. He dragged his drenched self to Shoto's feet muttering words.
"Boss..boss.. help"
The poison had spread faster than expected. Shoto pressed a few blood points halting the spread of the poison.
Mikel was taken down stairs by Shoto in order not to disturb Grysilia's work. Shoto sat Mikel up against the wall in order to treat the poison.
"Boss... huff.. I... boss"
Mikel was trying to say something but the disorientation effect of the poison had kicked in. Shoto removed the knife then pushed a few more blood points to move the poison towards Mikel's shoulder.
Slap!
Shoto slapped Mikel so he could focus.
"Huh.. boss .. what?" His breathing wasn't right.
"Mikel focus a large amount of the poison is moving into your right arm all I need you to do is focus on pushing the it out your body got it"
"Got...huff... it"
It was hard for Mikel to focus so Shoto shocked his brain a little too stimulate it. Mikel began pushing the poison out and soon a black liquid dripped from his finger tips.
His breathing began going back to normal once all the poison was out. Shoto healed the rest of Mikel's injuries with
While Mike recovered Shoto analyzed the poison on the knife with Sage's help.
"Sage please analyze the poison"
[I require a sample]
Shoto placed his finger on the sharp tip of the knife, the poison wouldn't harm since Sage would detoxify it.
[It's not a life treating toxin but it does cause disorientation, drowsiness, mana depletion and paralysis mostly meant to stop fleeing targets]
"Store samples so we can recreate it"
[Affirmative]
After Sage extracted enough samples Shoto stored the knife in his arm guard.
22:20
Mikel slowly opened his eyes his body completely healed but still in a state of fatigue.
"Your finally awake" Shoto said.
"Boss!" Mikel snapped out of his drowsiness.
"What happened to Sir?"
Mikel scratched his head a little embarrassed.
"So what did you get?"
Mikel stood up at Shoto's question his body was still sore but he could manage. He emptied his bag full of letters, documents and one diary on the table.
"I couldn't get the leger because of the butler I.. I hope this is good enough boss"
Shoto said nothing and proceeded to scan through the documents and letters. Shoto's expression slowly began to change into an evil smile, it would have been better if Mikel got the leger but this was just as good.
'I guess boss is happy" Mikel felt a bit scared seeing Shoto's evil smile.
"Mikel lay low for a while and practice that new art of yours"
"What?"
A warp gate open up beneath Mikel swallowing him before closing up. Shoto separated the letters and documents into different piles, he couldn't tell if the documents forged or real so he needed Grysilia's help.
The letters were another thing though most of them were love letters from the wives of Bran's business partners while the others where secret deals between him, Mariposa and other parties.
The letters from Circe's room were a bit more interesting it's seems she had been making deal with Bran's rivel behind his back.
Her diary was a bible of evil ,it had her deepest and darkest thoughts an ominous feeling could be felt just be reading every word.
This woman was just like her diary a beautiful cover from front to back but her pages were foul.
'Why would someone write this don't they keep such thoughts in the deepest part of your heart?' Shoto said to himself.
'I need to be careful with this one'
Grysilia came down the stairs with sweat dripping down her forehead, she was done altering everyone's memories.
"Sir is there anything I can do?" she looked at Shoto sorting out papers.
"You can rest"
"I don't feel tired"
"Your sweating Grysilia" Grysilia's oder was unique to Shoto nose.
"Is there anything I can assist you with?"
"Mmm"
She was quite stubborn for work.
"I need you to see if any of these documents are false, forged or not legal" he pushed the documents to her
"Oh now?"
"No later now we're going back to the Inn I need some sleep to organize my thoughts"
A transfer gate open and the two returned for a good night's rest.
He had already made enough move while they enemy was sleeping more could be made after resting.
