“What the hell did you do to me?!”

He immediately retrieved his pistol and reloaded it, roaring at Tumaru angrily.

Although his babies were safe this time, his anger was very real.

Whenever he thought about his previous encounter, he feels extremely disturbed and angry.

As expected, Tumaru was unphased by the gun pointing to his forehead.

This was just a regular day to Tumaru – being pointed at with a gun is like eating bread to him.

“Sorry,” Tumaru said. “But this little thing of yours would not hurt me.”

Boom! As soon as Tumaru finished speaking, Ryuto pulled the trigger.

This is the second time Ryuto has fired the gun.

Before this, Ryuto would feel guilty about pulling the trigger on a living person.

However, he felt no regret if his target was Shiki Tumaru.

Because he knew Tumaru would not be hurt at all.

The moment Ryuto pulled the trigger, Tumaru’s figure phased to the side, perfectly dodging the blow.

Seeing Tumaru dodge the bullet at light speed amazed Ryuto; he would even describe it as gorgeous.

The bullet pierced through the wall immediately, causing a small hole to appear on the wall.

The deafening blast of the gun sounded through the area, so it was no surprise that everybody in the residence could hear the gunshot.

‘Damn, I didn’t expect him to shoot without hesitation.’

Tumaru didn’t think Ryuto would use the gun after returning it to him.

After all, this is their domain – shooting your enemy directly within their base spells doom.

Tumaru, frowning, hurriedly phased forward and snatched the gun away from Ryuto.

This technique of his is muscle memory at his point.

“You are being unreasonable. Seems like I can’t return this thing to you yet.”

Tumaru still needed to protect the residents and staff living here.

Besides, there was no way Tumaru could let Ruri be alerted.

Unfortunately, when the shot was fired, Ryuto’s plan has already been achieved.

Tap tap tap tap tap tap tap!

Frantic footsteps could be heard approaching outside the room.

The surrounding staff, including the cooks and the guards gathered near the room, wanting to see what had happened.

“I’ll ask you one last time before the crowd gathers,” Ryuto threatened. “What did you do to me? If you don’t answer me, I’ll stick the needle right here.”

Ryuto removed the needle from his ‘abdomen’, and placed it near his throat in a threatening manner.

He’s attempting to blackmail Tumaru.

These needles are Tumaru’s signature weapon.

If Ryuto were to stab himself with this needle, what will the other people think when removing his body? What if Koujirou Ruri witnesses the scene?

Tumaru stared intently at Ryuto.

Ryuto is trying to threaten Ruri’s trust in Tumaru.

Ruri had entrusted her personal butler to take care of Ryuto. What would she think if she found Ryuto dead?

Of course, with Tumaru’s status, he would not get punished, but…

…Ruri’s trust in him would immediately crumble.

Being hated by his own mistress, this is a punishment worse than death to Tumaru.

He immediately brought his hands up, trying to calm Ryuto down, “Wait, wait, don’t be impulsive, let’s talk it out.”

Ryuto ignored him, instead starting a countdown,

“Three… two…”

“Alright! I’ll tell you! I castrated you, but it can be restored to function! I swear!”

In desperation, Tumaru spat out the truth.

Perfect.

Shiki Tumaru was rarely actually afraid of someone.

At that moment, he felt true fear. He feared that Ryuto would slit his throat using his needle upon hearing the truth.

There are many other villains that he had faced who used weapons to threaten others, but it wasn’t everyday that someone would use deadly weapons and point it at themselves to threaten others.

The worst part? Tumaru was sure that Ryuto would slit his own throat.

He merely wanted to secretly castrate Ryuto without him knowing.

Once Ryuto discovers that his junior no longer works, Tumaru’s trail would be long gone.

Now, however, is different. Ryuto was quite literally acting like a lunatic, which caught Tumaru by surprise.

There were only two people in this room, and the needles are his signature weapon – if Ryuto were to slit his throat, Tumaru would never be able to escape.

Ryuto can’t die here.

Ryuto merely sneered, “I can restore its function? Then, why did you stab me for nothing?”

Tumaru could tell Ryuto was trying to blackmail him.

“Just tell me, what do you want?”

“Do me a favor.”

Just as Ryuto spoke, a familiar voice could be heard outside the door.

“Tumaru? What’s the matter? I heard a gunshot inside.”

Koujirou Ruri was alerted to the gunshot.

Tumaru glanced at the door, cold sweat appearing on his forehead.
