Our Butler

"You can still do this?"

Kino was a little surprised. Did Venom have this ability?

[I don't know, I've never tried, but I feel like I can.]

Venom hesitated. It didn't know if it could succeed, but its instincts told it that it could.

"Let me think."

Kino fell into thought. He naturally wanted the ability of the Healing Factor, which could not only heal quickly but even delay aging.

Moreover, if he went to save Stark, although there was a certain risk, the reward would also be huge. If he really encountered an enemy he couldn't defeat, he could escape to the DC World.

"Let's do it. If I go, I go. Worst case scenario, I'll run to another world."

Logan asked, "Kid, where are you going? Do you need help?"

He had been talking to himself, his expression changing, and he even asked for a map.

Wade was already drunk, competing with Logan, who had the Healing Factor. How could he not get drunk?

Kino shook his head. "No need, Logan. I can handle it myself. You have your own things to do."

"Okay, call me if you need anything," Logan said quietly.

Kino stood up and patted Logan's shoulder.

"Don't worry! I won't waste your favor. You guys keep drinking, I'm leaving."

He turned and left.

Logan scratched his shoulder, feeling a bit itchy.

Outside the tavern, Kino looked at the black mass in the center of his palm.

"Venom, did it work?"

[Of course.]

"How long will it take?"

[A few hours, roughly.]

This way, he had another layer of security in this world.

Kino got into the luxury car and let out a long sigh.

"Indeed, I'm still not used to taverns full of alcohol and cigarettes."

"Yes, Young Master. You shouldn't come to places like this anymore."

"Mm, Cassell, can I trust you?"

Kino looked inexplicably at the butler driving the car. He had been in this world for a week, and Cassell had taken very good care of him.

It was as if they had known each other for a long time; he even knew his favorite foods.

"Of course, Young Master. I swear on my wife and children."

Cassell didn't turn around, but he met Kino's gaze through the rearview mirror.

"Venom, come out and say hello to our butler."

"Hello, Butler Cassell."

Venom poked its ferocious head out from Kino's shoulder, revealing sharp fangs and a long tongue.

"Hello, Mrs... Mr. Venom."

Cassell showed no panic, only a flicker of strangeness in his eyes.

"Aren't you afraid of me?"

Venom was a little strange. It could feel that the human in front of it had no fear at all.

"Not at all, Mr. Venom. Please sit properly, I'm driving."

Cassell drove without looking away.

"You're making me lose face like this."

"Do you want me to be scared and crash the car into a wall?"

"That could also..."

"Behave yourself, this car is very expensive."

Kino hugged Venom's head and stuffed a handful of chocolate into its mouth to quiet it down.

Kino asked, "Cassell, what did you do before?"

"I was a soldier in the US Marine Corps, with the rank of Captain. After retiring, I worked as an instructor for a while, and then I came to work as a butler for your family."

Cassell hid nothing.

"With your qualifications, why would you do anything else? Why become a butler?"

Kino was a little confused. With those qualifications, becoming a bodyguard for a rich person, earning millions a year, wouldn't be a dream.

"Because the Master saved my wife and child, in exchange, I became the Young Master's butler," Castle said with a smile.

Marine Corps, Captain, with a wife and child. Such a familiar setup.

[Idiot, it's The Punisher.]

Venom's voice echoed in his mind. Kino's eyes widened as he confirmed.

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.

"Castle, what's your full name?"

"Frank Castle."

It really was him, The Punisher, the pinnacle of human single-soldier combat.

"Frank, how long have you been a butler?"

"Five months and six days."

Frank gave a very precise answer.

"How did my parents die?"

"The Master and Madam died suddenly after drinking," Frank's expression remained unchanged.

"But the wine cellar in the manor is empty."

This time, Frank was speechless.

Kino didn't press further. He thought about his ability, even though he could only travel to the DC World for now.

What if he could travel through time in the future? After all, this world was like a sieve; anyone with some ability could play with time.

And the time Frank just gave should be the time they first met. He'd note it down for now.

"Creak, creak—"

[Hey...]

And his parents, they died suddenly the day before he transmigrated. Although he had seen their photos, their bodies had long since been in coffins.

"Creak, creak—"

[Are you listening to me...]

If his father was his future self, then who was his mother? Could he bring others through? Then that person was...

"Are you done or not! Do you think my head is a ball to be played with, constantly rubbing it! Ahh..."

Venom finally lost it and bit down on Kino's head.

"That hurts!"

Kino felt like his skull was about to explode. All his thoughts vanished. He begged for mercy repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, I'm sorry. You know me, I can't help but fidget with things when I think."

"Mmm... Who cares if you do it? I called you, and you ignored me. You did it on purpose."

"Ahhh, stop biting! You're making me bleed!"

Frank watched from the rearview mirror, his eyes full of smiles. Although their appearances were different, this way of interacting was unmistakably them.

They arrived at the manor.

Kino got out of the car, his face bloody.

"Venom, you healed my wounds, but couldn't you at least clean up the blood?"

[It's to help you remember.]

"Alright."

It was late.

Kino ran to the bathroom to wash up.

"Venom, my back is a little itchy, can you scrub it for me?"

[Honestly, am I your nanny?]

Despite her words, she extended a few black tentacles to scrub him.

"Hehe."

After his bath, Kino, wearing loose pajamas, lay down tiredly on the soft bed.

"Venom, do I need to do anything for the Healing Factor fusion?"

[No, just sleep. It's safe and painless.] Venom's head emerged from his chest and said.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you, Venom." Kino said, closing his eyes.

Soon, Kino fell into a deep sleep, his breathing becoming steady and deep.

[He's really asleep. Is he that trusting of me?]

Venom thought silently. It was parasitic within Kino's body and could clearly feel his physical condition. Kino had indeed fallen asleep, and he was sleeping soundly.

Venom recalled that in Kino's memories, Kino had always been a highly vigilant person, especially after arriving in this world, often waking up suddenly in the middle of the night.

But at this moment, he had so easily let down his guard, trusting her completely.

Venom couldn't help but find it a little amusing.

[What a strange human, just a few movies could make him lower his guard so much.]

However, for Venom, this was not a bad thing. She liked this feeling of being trusted, even if it was for some inexplicable reason.

[Evil and foolish Kino.]

Venom said in a low voice, then retreated back into Kino's body, beginning the fusion work of the Healing Factor.

As time passed, Kino's body gradually changed. His cells began to absorb and fuse with the Healing Factor, granting him stronger vitality and recovery abilities.
