Lucius looked at the system screen and smirked as he began to hack. "System, hack that disgusting pig. Delete his talent and his penis."
Lucius then also realized something as he added another option. "And also a timer in which the hack will proceed after a day. I want him to wake up and realize that his precious things were gone without reason."

Lucius smirked after looking at the system screen. "Perfect. I don't need for him to suddenly die but I want him to have the torture for being talentless and also being an eunuch."
Liora and Luna, who had been following Lucius from behind, were still angry, as they could not believe that fat pig could be free after harming master.
Liora then said to Lucius, "Master, why not let me strike him down now? It would be quick, efficient... and immensely satisfying."
Luna was also the same as she clenched her fist. ""Master, that swine dared to lay his filthy hand on you! Please, let me teach him a lesson he'll never forget."
Lucius only chuckled and turned toward them. "Patience, my girls. I have already done something with him. With my power, he will soon become talentless."
Lucius then explained to them what the torture was. "Don't you think that forcing him to live as a powerless, talentless husk is better than killing them directly?"
Liora and Luna, who heard it, immediately smiled and nodded. "You're right, Master. Such torment is far worse than death."
Luna also smiled. "A fate so cruel... only you could think of something so perfect, Master! He will suffer endlessly for his insult."
Lucius then smirked after hearing them, "Exactly, that is what I want. Now let's leave this place. I've had enough for one day."
The three then soon exited the market and went to the carriage and when they reached the carriage, Daxton, who was waiting, was surprised when he saw the faint red mark on Lucius' cheek.
He immediately asked them about Lucius' condition, "What just happened? How can Young Master Lucius' cheek be so red?"
Before Lucius could respond, Luna immediately angrily said, "An ugly, fat man slapped Master for simply being in his path! It could happen just because he is the governor's son!"
Daxton, who was calm, immediately became angry, as this was a clear sign of slapping the Volcaria family. "The governor's son, you say? How dare he. I'll..."
Lucius immediately interrupted Daxton as he raised his hand. "Don't do anything now. It's just a simple matter. It's not worth it."
Daxton turned to him and said, "Young Master, with all due respect, that man insulted you. Allow me to handle this."
Lucius' smirk returned and he placed his hand on Daxton's shoulder. "Daxton, I know you are angry but now I am a bit tired from all this event so can we go home now?"
Daxton could only sighed as he nodded, although he was still angry. "Is that what you want? Then we will go home now, young master."
"Good," Lucius said while stepping into the carriage and being followed by Liora and Luna. Daxton then drove the carriage back to the Volcaria estate.
Back at the Volcaria estate, the carriage stopped, and Lucius stepped out. He turned to Daxton. "I'm feeling a bit tired so I'll retire to my chambers for now."
Daxton nodded, though his frown deepened. "Of course, Master. Rest well."
Lucius then smiled and reassured him. "Don't worry too much, Daxton. I am alright." Lucius then went to his room. Luna and Liora also followed Lucius from behind.
Daxton, who looked at the leaving Lucius, immediately decided. He then went to the grand hall with a frowning face.
Daxton soon entered it and when Savra looked that Daxton was already here, she was a bit surprised. "So you have returned. So, what did Lucius purchase in the market?"
Daxton stood straight and reported it. "Young Master Lucius only bought a few spatial rings and that is."
Savra only smiled after she heard that. "I see, so he only buys some spatial rings. Was there anything else of note?"
Daxton then immediately told Savra about it. "There was... an incident. While in the market, Master Lucius was slapped by the stupid and arrogant governor's son just because Lucius is in his path."
Savra, who heard it, immediately frowned. "The governor's son? And what did Lucius do? Is the governor's son seriously injured?"
Daxton shook his head as he explained it. "No, Lady Savra. Young Master Lucius simply brushed it off and told me to ignore it and insisted we leave without confrontation."
Savra who heard it was confused and also surprised. She could not believe that Lucius did that. "Lucius said to ignore it? That doesn't sound like him. Lucius is not one to forgive an insult so easily."
Daxton nodded as he agreed. "Exactly, my lady. It didn't sit right with me either, as he didn't tell me any plan for it."
Savra only smirked and said. "Don't you worry. I'm certain Lucius has done something. He's simply more hidden than most."
Savra then stood up and looked at Daxton. "But we also need to do something. If the governor's son thinks he can insult someone under my family's banner, he will learn the cost of such arrogance."
Savra then immediately explained what Daxton needed to do. "Daxton, I want the Flame Essence supply to his city cut off immediately. And make it known that the Volcaria family is reconsidering its relationship with the governor."
Daxton was surprised by the sudden order but he just bowed, "Understood, my lady. Shall I inform him of the reason for this action?"
Savra then smirked after hearing Daxton say, "No. Leave him guessing. Let the fear of the unknown consume him. He'll wonder what he did to make us angry and that anxiety will certainly be a punishment for him."
Daxton stood up and smiled as he was really satisfied with Lady Savra's plan. "It will be done as you command, Lady Savra."
Daxton soon left the grand hall to do what he was told and Savra just sat down on her throne thinking about something.
"Lucius, just what have you done to grant that fool mercy? What game are you playing? But I know that it must be really the worst." Savra said while thinking of many possibilities and smirked.
