Chapter 240: Immune To It

Back at the garden.
“Does anyone else find this suspicious?” Grey asked the group.
“I do.” Klaus and Alice nodded.
Reynolds only nodded after a few seconds seemingly thinking of why the others find the situation suspicious.
“If my speculations are correct, then there should be something inside that special wine of theirs. I might also be wrong though, but I think they’re definitely planning something against us.” Grey voiced what he thought.
They all knew that Richard and Smith didn’t approach them for anything good, and given how much they hate Klaus in particular, they would rather die than give him a special wine. They might agree to give the others, but giving Klaus was definitely out of the picture.
“Yeah, from how that guy hates me, I think he would want to kill me more than anything else in the world.” Klaus said with a chuckle.
During their conversations, there had been times when he sensed a thick killing intent coming out from Smith’s body, even Richard wasn’t able to mask it sometimes. But he didn’t give a shit what they were planning to do! In the face of overwhelming strength, schemes wouldn’t save them. Each individual here could confidently say they would be able to one-shot either Richard or Smith.
Even Klaus could kill them without much of a hassle.
“Then what do we do?” Reynolds asked.
“Leave?” Grey raised a brow.
“No, we need those coins. There’s no way I’m walking back to Lunar City.” Klaus refused the idea of leaving.
‘I could test it for you.’ Void who was lying on Alice’s lap said to Grey.
‘Wait, wouldn’t you be hurt by the poison?’ Grey asked curiously.
‘Unless the poison can instantly kill a Peak Rank Six magical beast, if not, I’m okay.’ Void said confidently.
‘Wow! Is your immunity to poison that high?’ Grey asked in surprise.
‘Of course, even a Rank Six venomous magical beast can’t kill me with their venom.’ Void stood proudly, trying to show off.
‘Well, that’s something.’ Grey was once again awed by Void’s ability.
If he counts properly, then a Rank Six magical beast should be on the Plane above the Overlord Plane, that was the Sage Plane! Void was only a Rank Four magical beast, yet he wouldn’t be affected by a Rank Six magical beast’s venom. That was awesome!
“Guys, Void would test it out.” Grey was a hundred percent confident in Void, since Void said he could do it, then it meant he could.
After Void blocked that attack for him, his bond with him increased to an unimaginable level. If it were around seventy percent before, now, it was well over one hundred percent.
“That’s great!” Klaus exclaimed.
“Is that safe?” Alice asked in concern.
Compared to Klaus, she cared about Void more than he did. If not for Void blocking the attack for Grey, then Klaus would barely have any sort of feelings for him.
“Yeah, he said he would be fine.” Grey assured her.
“If that’s the case, then okay.” Alice caressed Void’s fur before adding, “If you know you can’t do it then don’t okay.”
Void nodded his small head which made Alice giggle.
Grey and the other boys still didn’t know what she always finds cute in whatever Void did.
‘It’s probably a ladies thing.’ They thought.
“What happens if it’s not something we can dismiss?” Reynolds suddenly asked an important question they all missed.
If Void said the poison wasn’t something they could purify if it enters their bodies, then that would be an issue since rejecting the wine would be odd.
“We can always reject it, it’s not like they can force us anyway.” Klaus shrugged, not bothered by it.
‘I can create a small space in your mouths that the wines would pass through then transfer them behind those flowers.’ Void said.
‘Is that possible?’ Grey asked.
‘Of course, I can even create it now.’ Void said.
‘Can you remove it any time?’ asked Grey.
‘Yup.’ Void nodded.
‘Okay, then do it now. Wait, can we talk when you do that?’ Grey asked to clarify things.
It would be strange if they were unable to speak.
‘I don’t know. Okay, we’ll do this. When they bring the drinks over, if it’s not something you guys can purify, I’ll create a small space when you all open your mouths.’ Void suggested.
‘That’s even better.’ Grey quickly agreed to this idea.
After that all agreed to that, they waited for Richard and Smith, with Klaus telling Void the plan. He didn’t know where this city’s treasury was, although he knew it was in the mayor’s villa, he didn’t know the exact position.
Richard and Smith returned two minutes later with a jade wine jug and six silver cups. They were all smiles when they returned.
Richard was the one who personally poured for each person, just as he was about to sit down.
“You missed someone.” Klaus suddenly spoke up.
“Huh!”
Richard and Smith looked around a little confused. They were clearly only six people here, and they only came with six silver cups, so how did they miss someone?
“No, I think you’re mistaken, we’re only six here.” Smith said.
“You’re forgetting that little guy.” Klaus pointed at Void.
“Uh!” Richard was left speechless when he saw who Klaus was referring to.
‘A cat? How dare he say I pour drink for a cat?’ Richard’s lips twitched a couple of times.
“Isn’t going back to get a cup for a cat a little too outrageous?” He asked after he managed to compose himself.
“I know, that’s why he should do it.” Klaus pointed at Smith.
Smith’s eyes almost turned completely red from anger. Such disrespect! He couldn’t take it anymore.
Klaus chuckled when he saw his reaction, he passed his cup to Void before grabbing the jug of wine, “I think this settles it.”
“You’re going to drink directly from the jug?” Richard asked in surprise.
“Yes, is it bad?” Klaus raised a brow.
“No, it’s perfect, actually.” Richard smiled.
Klaus was the strongest of the group, so taking Klaus out first was even better.
Void took a sip of the wine, while the others waited curiously for the result of his test.
