Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Chapter 65 Timon

”Mm?” Max stopped in his tracks and turned around. He frowned when he saw a young man around his age looking at him with a mocking expression. He was dressed well with a golden fan in his hand. Behind him stood a few people who seemed to be his guards.

The people around them, who heard him saying that he was Viscountʼs son turned to look at Max and started whispering.

”Hey, is that really Lord Viscountʼs son? I havenʼt seen him before.”

”Yes, he is. I saw him a few months before when I visited Viscount manor for something. As I recall, he must the youngest son of Lord Viscount.”

”But didnʼt they say that he is nothing but trash and after knowing his talent, he became depressed and would die at any time. But he seems fine to me. Heck, He is more healthier than those one-star mages.”

”If he really is young master, why that noble looking young man try to mock him like that? Is there some enmity between them?”

”Enmity? I donʼt even know who this young lad is.”

”Yeah, he seems to be someone from another town. Letʼs see whatʼs going to happen now.”

”Haha, I hope itʼs going to be fun to watch.”

...

”Who are you?” Max asked as he didnʼt recognise him.

”What?” The boyʼs smile stiffened at his question. By his expression, Max understood that he must have known him but before his ʼdeathʼ, but he didnʼt care because the tone in which he spoke and that mocking smile told him that he wasnʼt his friend or anything and most likely have bullied him in the past.

”Y-You, what do you mean by who I am? Donʼt you know already or do you want to get out of here by pretending not to recognise me?” The boy became flustered.

”I seem to have forgotten you. Why donʼt you tell me who are? So that I can remember.” Max asked, amused at his exaggerated reaction.

”Hmm, What you said makes sense? After all, I havenʼt visited this shitty town for a few years now and I heard you got a serious injury to the head recently.” The boy nodded, regaining his previous attitude.

”What? How dare you call our town, shitty?” A hot blooded youth became enraged hearing him mocking their town and circulated his mana preparing to attack.

Whossh!

A black clothed man suddenly appeared in front him and clutched his neck with one hand and lifted him in the air.

”Argh...” The boy struggled. Others who wanted to voice out their discontent backed off by the man glare which seemd to warn them to not come forward.

Max frowned at this. The man who was clutching the boyʼs neck was one of guards behind this stupid prick.

”Put him down.” Max glared at the man and said in a deep voice. He didnʼt want an innocent guy to suffer because of him. Well, he was the indirect cause.

”Ugh...” The man suddenly felt cold shiver running down his spine but he didnʼt release his hold.

Max looked at the boy and said ”Tell him to release the boy at once.”

”Release him. He got his lesson.” He told his bodyguard.

”Yes, young master.” The man nodded and released the boy and returned behind him while thinking ʼWhy did I felt threatened by his glare? Didnʼt young master say that he is just a trash? Weird.ʼ

The boy took deep breaths after getting out of devilʼs claw. He bowed toward Max and stepped back.

”Let me introduce myself so that you can remember.” The boy bowed slightly with one hand behind his while other on his chest ”Iʼm Timon, son of the Count Wiley of Mateir City and we used to be ʼfriendsʼ when we were child.” He stressed on the term friend a little more.

”Count? A Countʼs son?”

”That explains why he disregarded our town and dared to speak with Young master like that.”

”Situation keeps getting interesting. letʼs see what happens now.”

....

After hearing that he was the son of A Count, everyone started whispering among themselves. As for the boy from before, he trembled from fear and ran away taking the cover of the crown.

”Oh! Count Wileyʼs son Mm...” Max was surprised a little to know that he was Countʼs son but didnʼt last even for moment when he recalled that this Count Wiley had some kind of enmity with his father and thatʼs why he wanted to embarrass him in front of the crowd.

He smirked and said ”So what do you want from me now?”

”What?” Timon was dumbfounded by his question but he recovered quickly and said ”I heard that you can use mana now and seeing that your body isnʼt feeble like before, youʼve improved quite well. Why donʼt we have a friendly spar between us? I just broke through and became a one star mage but donʼt worry I wonʼt be too heavy handed.”

Max looked at him silently. ʼHe clearly want to abuse his strength to humiliate me because of some rivalry between our fathers. Hehe, it seems he doesnʼt have any idea about my current strength.ʼ

Timon laughed in his mind ʼThis fool is as timid as before. Now refuse and be ready to be called coward by the public. Iʼm sure father would be...ʼ

His gloating thoughts were interrupted by Maxʼs three simple words.

”Okay. Letʼs fight.”

He stared at Max, speechless. He didnʼt expect this scenario at all thatʼs why he didnʼt know how to respond to this. After a while, He shook his head and collected his thoughts.

He grinned ”I see that youʼve grown some guts. Thatʼs also good, I will see how much have you improved and give you some pointers.” He then added in his mind ʼInitially, I only wanted to humiliate you a little but now that you dared to agree to fight me, Iʼll make sure, you wonʼt dare to say a single word in front of me, let alone thinking of fighting me.ʼ

He was incensed by the fact that Max, the trash in his eyes dared to fight him which meant he was confident of winning against him. How can he endure this humiliation?
