[Third Person POV]
Ryujin ordered Genda to get up, otherwise he would take away the potion. Genda stood up without wasting even a second. He brushed off his clothes to look more elegant . Ryujin looked at Genda objectively and wondered.
'How did this guy manage to get engaged with Lilly?'
Lily and Genda were not engaged yet but it was sure that it would happen. It was just the matter when. There was no rumour of their marriage but the people close to them and some of noble family knew.
" Is is going to be quite hard for us to bring your brother down. Killing him will be easy but your father will definitely know about it and that would make your inheritance harder. The problem is we need some powerful noble family to back you up and I don't think anybody is ready to support you ."
Ryujin did not ask Genda directly and was slowly trying to get him to spill the beans. Genda smirked as his played with his moustache.
"Mr Flint a noblr family is ready to back me up."
Ryujin acted as if he did not know about him and titled his head in confusion.
"I did not think you would be the type of person to joke."
"I am not joking. I am going to get engaged with Lily Haema."
Ryujin acted to be shocked. Genda was pleased to see Ryujin 'surprised' by this.
"The head of Haema known to love his daughter, gave his daughter's hand to you.That is the worst lie I have heard in my lifetime."
Ryujin started poking at Genda's ego and was riling him to spill some beans. Genda was a bit sad that his 'saviour' did not believe him but he did realize that no girl would love him for his body and face.
" I swear of my life , I am telling the truth. The new is not out yet but we will get engaged around the end of this month."
Ryujin again made a shocked face. He folded his arms and acted as if he was baffled.
" You must have pulled some strings to do this there is no way you got a girl because of your face."
Again he was ruthless with his comments.
"I know. All girls want is a man 6ft tall, handsome ,rich and powerful."
'No.Genda all girls do not want that. They want someone who loves them, respects them,cares for them and looks at them as their other half rather than a being to let out your lust.'
Genda was not that ugly.He was an average looking dude but his personality was the worse of all. He hid his filthy personality behind a veil of his own ego and delusion.
"You really have outdone yourself Genda. You even managed to surprise me and it is unusual for me to be surprised."
Genda puffed his chest and was proud was himself.
"I had to pull some strings for it. That brother of my is an asshole but definitely useful and powerful.If only I could use black magic as well. "
Finally, Genda started spilling the beans. Ryujin kept listening and acted keen. That act of his fed Genda's ego and he kept talking. Genda was a teacher and he had to go through his stats evaluation on a daily basis. If they found 'black magic' on his stats then he would be executed on the spot.
However, his brother was the vice-master of a guild and S-rank hero. He could alter his stats on paper and nobody would question unless the government and some high ranking heroes checked his stats directly.
The system also had appraised Gaetano's stats. He was an S rank and had 'black magic' on his stats but the system cannot find out the capabilities behind the power as The god was not responsible for the power. It must be some other deity who had given him the power.
Ryujin wanted to find out what he his black magic was capable of an Gedna surely know some of it.
" Your brother's black magic must be something special. Do you know something about it?"
Genda made a suspicious face. Ryujin also know that was a gamble but he had to do something to get the information out.
"The more I know about him, the faster I can make a plan to defeat him."
Ryujin added and Genda was pleased to know that he was there to help.
"That asshole's black magic is mostly related with brain manipulation. I also remember he could spread his mana inside someone's body and kill them. He really is powerful. Just a touch and he can hack in anybody's nervous system and mana vessel. I barely managed to convince him to manipulate the Lily' father. That old man is now in his control so we definitely need to find a way to take the authority of him on our hands."
Genda revealed everything he knew. He looked at Ryujin and saw him looking bored as usual but on the inside he was fuming. He was finally connecting the dots in his head.
' Gaetano must be the one responsible of Leo Dynamos 'disease' as well. I wonder how many people he did this too. I need to find a way to stop him at all costs.'
He then looked at Genda and slightly nodded.
"I see. We definitely need tone careful. If you can prepare a list of people who he had under his control. For now drink the potion and do what you were always doing. Be patient and the results will come."
"Yes."
Genda then did a demon sign salute and Ryujin disappeared as well.
'You guys need to be killed as soon as possible but there is something more important now that I have to do.'

"Knock!Knock"
Ryujin opened the door and behind it was white hair girl with blue jewel eyes. Those ocean blue eyes must have mesmerized a lot of men but her heart already belonged to the boy in front of her.
After Ryujin got back from dealing with Genda, he started cooking and messaged Ciel if she wanted to join him and there was no way she could refuse.
Ryujin had given her the password of his door lock but still she would knock on the door except when she came for the vampire training.
"Why did you bring books?"
Ryujin asked Ciel.
"I was stuck in one of the questions and wondered if you could look at your notes."
Ciel said in a polite tone. She entered the room and sat on the sofa. Kuro and Tuck immediately jumped on her lap. She looked at her side and saw Chip sleeping. Chip was always sleeping.
"Does Chip sleep all the time?"
Ciel asked.
"Yeah. He used to sleep at lot less in the past but now he is quite old and does not have that much energy."
Ryujin said as he was cooking. He was tasting the soup he just made and was happy that is tasted good. Cielo found his behaviour cute and giggled. She stood up and patted on the cats head to apologize to them for not letting them sleep on her lap.
She went the kitchen to help Ryujin.
'He probably got back from work. I should help him.'
But Ciel had never cooked in her entire life. She was never allowed to go to the kitchen and never showed any kind of interest in it. She was fidgeting and did not know what to do. Ryujin saw that she was trying to help him but he was almost done. He stroked her head and Ciel started to purr like a cat.
"You can help me next time okay. Finish your assignment first. My notes are in my room."
Ryujin removed his hand but she still wanted more.
'I will ask him to do it again later on.'
She then opened the door to his room and entered.
'So this is what it looks like. Smells just like him.'
She had never been to Ryujin's bedroom. It was a normal looking room...with a bed, a table with a PC and a laptop. There small cushions on the side of his bed as well. They were for the pets but they would often jump on the bed and sleep with Ryujin. The clothes were neatly folded. There were two guitars, acoustic and electric hanged on the wall.
'I did not know he played any instrument.'
It was a really nice and clean room.
There were some plants inside his room as well. She looked at the paintings at the wall and noticed a poster of an anime girl with a big chest.
Ciel then touched her own and said to herself.
' Please grow big.'
It was pretty clear that Ryujin liked big breasts, every man did. She noticed some medals hanged on a nail and two small framed pictures on the table. There was a picture of him with his pets and another one with his Adam, Paul and George.
'He was quite good looking when he was young as well but why did he was such short hair.'
Ciel then noticed a big cardboard box under the study table. It was empty and was old as well. Some of the parts were torn and looked dirty. It was the only dirty thing inside the clean and well maintained room.
'Why does he have that?'
"Ciel?"
Ryujin called her. She had been in that room for pretty long.'
'I forgot what I was here for.'
She scrambled around his study table and found the notebook and headed out of the room.
" I am sorry, it took me some time to find it."
Ryujin knew she was checking his room but he acted to be oblivious...he did not want her to feel embarrassed about it cause it was normal to be curious on how other people's room looks like.
Ciel looked at the table and saw food heaven. Miso soup, fish, crabs, rice and salad were on the table. She started drooling and could not wait to eat.
Ryujin pulled a chair for her.
"Lets eat first and then you can complete your assignment."
She sat on the chair and Ryujin sat beside her. The pets were also standing beside their bowls.
'They only start to eat once Ryujin eats something.'
Ryujin had not trained them to do that...they just picked it up on their own. Once Ryujin took a bite, Ciel and the pets started eating as well.
Once they finished eating Ryujin washed the dishes and Ciel did her work. She insisted on helping Ryujin but he denied her help.
Once both of them were done Ryujin sat on the sofa while Ciel laid her head on Ryujin's lap.
"Can you pet my head?"
Ciel requested Ryujin in a shy tone.
Ryujin smiled at her and moved his hand across her head. She started purring like a cat and fell asleep.
******
"Hmm..What is this?"
Ciel said to herself. The room around her was dark. The room slowly started to gain light.
"Is this a dream?"
She was lucid dreaming for the first time in her life but she could not move to her own accord.
Her vision started to clear.She was blinking rapidly but after few seconds it slowed down. . She could see her hand holding a sword covered in blood.
"What is this? What is happening? I need to get up."
But she could not. In her dreams her hands were shaking, she was crying. She noticed that her sword had pierced someone.
Her head moved on its own and looked away from her hand. Once she saw the person's face she started to cry even more. She let go of her sword and looked at the person. He was kneeling at the edge of a cliff .The light in his eyes had become dull. The bright color of luscious green forest and soil from his eyes had gone dark, like the shade of abyss. His eyes were filled with tears...tears of blood. Although he had been killed and he had lost the hue in his eyes, the love inside him was still being reflected by his eyes. He was still smiling but the life in them was gone.
She fell on her knees and tried to move but she was unable to do so. She cried and cried but there was no one there to console her cause she just killed the person who would wipe her tears and give her a shoulder to cry on.
Though she could not move nor could he speak but there was only one though running through her head.
'I AM SORRY..... RYUJIN.'
