Chapter 86: We Meet Again? (5)
The masked man, Beacrox, flicked the whip .
Flick .
The whip cut through the air and landed on Venion .
“Aaaaaah!”
Venion’s body was heavy, but he could still feel pain . The whip continued to land on Venion’s body . The simple noble’s attire underneath the robe started to tear and the skin underneath started to bleed as the sharp additions to the whip cut into his skin . Some of the glass fell off the whip and remained pierced in his skin .
It was the same way Raon was abused when he was just a newborn .
“Oo, ugh, oo-!”
Venion was shouting something but the words did not come out of his mouth . He tried to struggle and move but his body was still paralyzed .
Just like Raon had suffered under the mana restriction chains, Venion could not do anything but suffer . All he could do was slowly curl up .
However, just as Raon had done, Venion glared up at the Black Dragon on top of the table . It was a glare that showed that he would not give in .
Flick! Flick!
The whip cut through his cheeks as he continued to glare .
“Aaaaaaah, ugh!”
Venion’s body shook in pain as it slowly became drenched in blood . However, Beacrox showed no reaction and continued to whip at a steady pace .
He whipped the bleeding areas over and over and did not show any emotion even as the blood sprayed into the air .
“Mm . ”
Cale turned after hearing a moan from his side . The baby kittens On and Hong were in the invisible area with him curled up next to each other .
Hong seemed to find it difficult to watch as he looked up at Venion and looked down at the ground over and over .
Raon had already set up noise suppressing magic in this invisible area so there was no chance of getting caught by Venion . However, it wouldn’t really matter if Venion heard the noise .
“Ugh, oo, oo, ah, aaaaah!”
Venion’s cheeks were completely bloody as he started to shout some groans and words that could not be understood . Every time he did that, Beacrox just flicked the whip even harder .
Do not speak .
Stay still .
Stop glaring .
That seemed to be the message as the whip landed any time Venion showed any of those reactions .
“…I need to watch, that’s what I need to do . ”
That was what the silver kitten On was saying as she lowered her head . Cale understood how they were feeling . On and Hong were in pain watching this .
The basement, where Venion’s arms, legs, and neck were chained up, was slowly turning red with blood . But it was not that they were struggling to watch because it was scary or because they felt bad for Venion .
It was because they knew what Raon had gone through and that this was only just the beginning .
Cale petted On and Hong’s heads .
“You don’t need to watch if you can’t . ”
He turned his head as he said that .
He could see Raon sitting alone on top of the table .
Raon was currently eating . He was eating his favorite food, steak . Raon continued to stuff his mouth with food .
“Aaaaaaah!”
Raon fed himself over and over while listening to Venion scream .
Raon had looked forward to this moment over and over for a very long time . He had imagined this exact scene in his head numerous times .
That was why he could not miss even a moment of this meal, no, this feast . Precious food that he could not have even imagined half a year ago, as well as a healthy body and his freedom . Raon continued to eat as he savored all of the things he had now gained .
“Cough . ”
Raon coughed for a moment from stuffing too much food but he did not stop . Cale observed Raon’s face as well as his actions .
Raon was crying .
However, he did not stop .
“Mm, cough . ”
He continued to stuff himself with food while observing Venion getting whipped . On and Hong did not manage to see how Raon was right now .
But Cale was making sure to observe Raon .
“Oo, uuuugh, ooo, ah . ”
Venion’s body started to twitch . Beacrox continued to flick the whip in spots he knew would hurt . Venion could not even look up at the Black Dragon on top of the table anymore .
He just had a blank expression as he slowly lost consciousness while being surrounded by his own blood .
Swiiiiiiish!
With a loud noise, the whip struck Venion’s head, making him finally lose consciousness .
Raon stuffed another steak into his mouth . Raon’s eyes were open, but he did not see Venion . What he saw was his past self . That was why he could not stop .
It was at that moment .

“You’re going to choke . ”
Tap . Tap .
He could feel the sturdy yet warm hand on his back . He was familiar with it now . Raon turned his head .
“Tsk, it’s all over your mouth . ”
The voice was as indifferent as usual . Raon could see a sleeve wiping his mouth as well as Cale’s face .
Raon slowly turned his head .
Venion was lying on the ground . Raon looked at the unconscious Venion and started to speak .
“I will continue to watch . ”
“Sure . Let’s watch together . ”
Raon put his head on the table as Cale said that . Cale continued to pat Raon’s back as he looked at Beacrox . Beacrox could see that Cale was frowning .
“What is it young master?”
“Why are you using the potion now?”
Cale pointed to the potion in Beacrox’s hand with his chin . Beacrox asked a question back with confusion .
“Don’t we need to heal him?”
“Use it when he looks like he’s about to croak . ”
Although Venion had fainted, he was still groaning . His entire body was covered in blood and made it look like his skin was red .
Beacrox looked toward Venion after hearing what Cale had to say and nodded his head .
“He won’t die just yet . Your order is correct and amazing . ”
He put the potion back down .
Cale let out a sigh then went to lift Raon up in his arms . He then started to frown .
Raon was heavy .
Raon was very heavy .
Although Raon had not grown in size these past few months, his weight seemed to have exponentially increased . Cale could feel his arms slightly shaking but kept on holding Raon . He couldn’t just leave him here .
Cale could feel his shoulders starting to get sweaty as he looked at On and Hong . They were anxiously walking circles around Cale and Raon . Cale sensed his arms quickly going numb and quickly started to speak .
“Let’s rest a bit . ”
Nobody said anything in opposition . However, Beacrox had a question .
“What should I do when he wakes up?”

“Isn’t it obvious?”
Raon answered after that .
“We will continue . ”
“What he said . ”
“I understand . ”
Cale pushed the door and it opened with a small noise . Choi Han was standing there with an expression that showed both anger and sorrow . Cale gave an order to Choi Han who looked back and forth between Raon and himself .
“There’s an unopened bottle of wine in there . Bring that along with a glass . ”
Cale decided that he needed to drink tonight . Cale headed for the residence upstairs as he asked Raon .
“Did you grow bigger? You’re heavier than last time . ”
“Weak human, you just have no arm strength . ”
“I can’t say anything about that . ”
Raon, who had been stuffing himself since the early morning, raised his head . He could see the view outside the residence . The fog had lifted, and morning was quickly approaching .
“Well, it’s good that you are growing . Good job getting bigger . ”
Raon put his face on Cale’s shoulder after hearing that . Cale’s arm was shaking but Raon pretended not to know . And Cale let Raon do that .
He was only four years old . It was fine for him to act this way .
It was now late at night three days later . Raon flew up from the table and landed in front of Venion .
“Huff, huff . ”
Venion was breathing heavily . His face had become a mess in the last few days and that arrogant noble was now crying and begging for his life .
He had glared at first thinking that someone would come to save him, but he grew tired and weary as he did not know how much time had passed . All he knew that Raon continued to eat meals while watching him suffer .
“Venion Stan . ”
Raon quietly looked down at Venion who had his face on the ground and did not dare to look up .
Raon remembered the others who had abused him as well . Cale already had a plan to punish those people as well . This included the Marquis . Although the Marquis had not personally abused him, he was the one responsible for all of this in the first place . Even he will pay for it soon enough .
“I plan to let you live . ”
That was why Raon was planning on letting Venion live .
Raon felt like even the term human was wasted on Venion after seeing this weak, stupid, and hateful human who was shaking without being able to even look at him .
Raon remembered what Venion had said to him in the past .
“It really is best to see this dragon bastard’s blood when I’m annoyed . Always gets me in the mood . ”

A calm voice reached Venion’s ear .
“And I will come find you whenever I don’t have an appetite . ”
Raon was planning to do the same thing Venion had done .
Venion’s body started to shake after hearing what Raon had to say . The dark red fog surrounded Venion’s body again . Venion continued to shake in fear . He looked at the dark red fog surrounding him and tried not to lose consciousness .
“Looks like he is unconscious . ”
In the end, he fell unconscious . Beacrox verified that Venion was knocked out before looking at Cale . Cale was slightly astonished while looking at Beacrox .
For three days, Beacrox had instilled fear in that snotty Venion’s mind . It was only natural that Venion’s entire body was injured, but Beacrox had given Venion enough fear every so often to make him lose his will .
‘There’s no need for Cage’s mental torture . ’
They didn’t need to call Cage .
Of course, there were many times that it was difficult for even Cale to watch Beacrox torturing Venion because of how brutal it was . However, he had to watch as he promised to watch .
Choi Han approached them and stood next to Cale while looking down at Venion .
“He seemed to have been hoping for the Marquis to come save him . Too bad . ”
The only thing that kept Venion going was the fact that he had hope that the Marquis would come save him . Even if he wasn’t the legitimate successor, one of his potential successors had disappeared . They would need to find him even if it was to just save face .
“Do you mean that?”
“No . ”
Choi Han shook his head at Cale’s question .
“I feel like we need to torture him more but this is Raon’s business so I am holding back . ”
“Good . ”
“Although the fact that Raon told him he will not kill him probably put some hope in his heart . ”
Choi Han looked down at Venion with an odd expression .
As Venion thought, the Marquis was currently frantically looking for Venion .
Two of Venion’s lackeys were caught by Taylor’s friend Cage and they had revealed that Venion had worked with the Stan territory’s underworld to do all sorts of illegal deeds .
That revelation put the citizens in a state of shock . Although the Marquis and his family was tyrannical, they had thought that they were at least upright nobles .
The Marquis was currently looking for Venion Stan who had left his injured lackeys behind and ran away when Cage and her crew caught them .
Of course, the person with the evidence for all of this was the eldest son, Taylor Stan .
Cale gave and order to Beacrox and Choi Han .
“Get it ready . ”
Beacrox put on a new pair of white gloves . A potion was in his hand . Venion Stan will end up getting caught in his secret base in the back alley without an injury on his body .
It was time for him to feel despair while remaining alive .
