Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Chapter 633 Emily’s Rage

Lily looked at Max, wondering what she meant by that.

Obviously, he hadn’t thought this was important so he hadn’t told her about Mike’s first condition to her.

Emily, who had seemed uninterested in everything until now, looked at Pauline up and down before closing her eyes, her expression softening just a little.

Not knowing how to answer, Max gave Pauline an awkward look while cursing Mike.

‘Damned old man, was there a need to tell her about this?’

Seeing he wasn’t willing to say anything, Pauline shifted her gaze to Sera and sneered, “You knew her before? Did my old man really think I would really believe that?”

Seeing how she seemed to be angry about it, Max realized something.

‘Mike definitely knows of his daughter’s temper. Since she was left in charge of helping us leave the city, he wouldn’t tell her about my rejection as it would create tension between us… unless he wanted that.’

He shook his head, ‘But I doubt that’s the case.’

‘Then it could only mean someone else told her or she already knew Mike would ask me to marry her in exchange for helping us. Only if I rejected this offer, would he give me the alternate deal.’

Max wanted to rub his temples. ‘Why did you put her in charge when you knew she was aware of my rejection?’

Pauline, unaware and uncaring of his thoughts, looked at Lily, Claire and Emily before scoffing, “Still, it’s a good thing you didn’t agree. Seeing how much of a womanizer, and pervert you are, I would have been the one to reject you.”

While Max didn’t mind her words, the ladies’ furrowed their brows, including Emily.

Lily, with an expressionless look on her face, said in a glacial tone, “Miss Pauline, I understand your ego is wounded because he rejected you. But I request you to mind your words and speak with some respect.”

“Oh?” Pauline looked at Lily in surprise, “You don’t agree he is a womanizer and pervert?”

Lily’s eyes glinted with a cold light. But just as she was about to respond… “What if he is, and what if he is not? Why does it matter to you now?” Emily coldly interjected, “You weren’t asked to talk about these useless things. Come to the point and tell us about how the Fuller family is planning to send us away.”

Pauline, unphased, shifted her gaze to her and looked at her thoughtfully, causing Emily to narrow her eyes.

After a moment of silence, she said with a strange look in her eyes, “Let me guess, you also like this guy, but he doesn’t like you back? Is that why you are so grumpy?”

Boom!

As soon as these words left her mouth, Emily’s Mana erupted out, sharp wind shredding the table cover into pieces.

“You want to DIE?” She growled.

While this display of strength cowed Claire, Little Ruo, Little Ruo’s grandfather, and even Ray, Pauline was unphased. Not only that, her expression became a blend of teasing, mockery and full of provocation as she challenged, “Die? Do you even dare to lay a hand on me?”

Max had been indifferent until now, but when he heard these words, his expression fell. The same was true for Lily and even Sera.

The one who the words were directed to, Emily, didn’t even hesitate for even a split second before she activated her movement skill and disappeared from the place before appearing behind Pauline with a gust of wind.

Her silver sword coated with a large amount of concentrated Wind Elemental mana slashing toward her neck, clearly aimed to decapitate her.

Pauline’s eyes widened in shock when she saw this. Not even for a second had she thought Emily would dare to attack for her real, and that too with the intent to kill.

Despite that, however, there was no fear in her eyes.

Bang!

Right as the blade was an inch away from her neck, there was a muffled bang before a figure appeared next to Emily and gripped her hand, stopping the attack.

Emily glared at Max, who had stopped her, and thundered.

“LET GO!”

Max looked deep in her eyes, and said, “Calm down.”

Emily glared at him for a few moments before she harrumphed, and dispersed her mana. Then, she pulled her hand out of his grip and directly walked out of the hall.

“Tsk! Tsk! She is a feisty one, hm? Your tastes are really varied.” Pauline smirked as she watched her leave.

Lily also rose to her feet, turned around and left. Claire glanced at Sera before she also left. After that, Ray, Shasha, Little Ruo’s duo and in the end, Shasha also walked out.

After they left, Max placed a hand on Pauline’s shoulder, and said in an incomparably calm voice, “Miss Pauline, it would be for the best if you didn’t try to provoke us.”

“Oh? Why is that?” Pauline asked, her voice indifferent.

“Because…”

Crack!

As he said the first word, he pressed down his hand, causing her shoulder bone to crack.

While Pauline winched in pain, he continued.

“…If you do that, I’ll get angry. And if I get angry, unless you have King Mages as bodyguards, you might die.”

Saying this, he removed his hand from her shoulder, and glanced behind her, “You can ask her whether what I said is true or not.”

“Huh?” Pauline forgot the pain and humiliation for a second when she heard him, a bad feeling arising in her heart.

She hurriedly looked back and saw her bodyguard, a mid-stage Five Star Mage lying on the ground, blood flowing down her lips.

Her eyes widening, she shouted in worry, “Aunt Su!!”.

“Don’t worry, she is alright. Those are some minor injuries.” Max’s indifferent voice sounded in her ears, but she ignored it and rushed over to her.

“Cough! He is right, Little Paul. I’m alright.” Aunt Su coughed as she slowly sat up.

She then looked at Max and lightly bowed her head toward him, a hint of fear deep in her eyes, “I apologize on her behalf. Please forgive her. She had no ill intent behind her words and was just fooling around with you all.”
