Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Chapter 465 A King Mageʼs Dignity

Swish!

As soon as the voice sounded, Jackʼs mother froze in place. The mana she was gathering around her hand also dispersed.

”Mm?” She, her husband, Adrienne, the middle-aged man and others who were watching the fight, looked up at the sky.

Their expression changed when they saw two women slowly floating down like graceful fairies.

Max, who was about to throw the talisman at Jackʼs mother, also stopped, and a surprised expression appeared on his face when he saw one of the two women. She was Mina, his stepmother.

Anna was also surprised but unlike Max, she was more surprised by the fact they were flying.

”A mage above the mortal boundary.” She mumbled as her eyes glued to the woman in white clothes. She wondered who she was and why she was with Mina.

Jackʼs parents grimaced when they saw the white clothed woman.

Even though they couldnʼt tell a personʼs cultivation since they were still below the mortal boundary, they could easily discern from their presence that it was the woman in white who was flying, and the other woman was just tagging along.

Tap! Tap!

The duo landed lightly beside Anna. Minaʼs brows were knitted as she looked at Max, kneeling on the ground with a pale face.

She then glanced at Jackʼs parents and asked, ”Who sent you two? Count Wiley, or the Royal family?”

Hearing the question, the duo frowned. They knew who the count Wiley was because his sister was the wife of the current leader of the Dalton and as for the royal family; it was obvious.

”You are Count Wiley and the Royal familyʼs enemies?” Jackʼs father asked.

A displeased expression marred Minaʼs face as she coldly said, ”I asked the question. Tell me, who sent you?”

Before the man could say anything, his wife spoke up, ”I donʼt know what enmity you have with that shitty Count or the royal family, but none of them sent us. We are here to avenge our sonʼs death, who this bastard killed.”

She then turned to the woman in white and continued in a cold voice, ”Iʼm the daughter of the current family leader of the Hobson family. No matter who you are, youʼll regret it if you stop me from getting my revenge.”

She thought this woman was just a five-star mage, and if it was so, then there was no need to fear because her Hobson family also had five-star mages. Even the royal family didnʼt dare to offend them rashly.

She didnʼt mention she was a part of the Dalton family too because the Dalton family only had one five-star mage, and everyone knew that mage wasnʼt very strong because of her old age, giving them not so much right to boast.

The woman in white furrowed her brows as if in thought, then tilted her head slightly toward her and said in an indifferent voice, ”Hobson family? Never heard of it.”

”You…?!” Jackʼs mother was enraged at this. She thought the woman was feigning ignorance so she could interfere.

”How dare you dirty b—”

Just as these words came out of her mouth, the air around the woman in white seemed to undergo a change and became chilly. Noticing this, Jackʼs father hurriedly shouted at her wife,

”Be quiet!”

”Eh?” Jackʼs mother was stunned when she heard his shout full of reproach.

He had never shouted or gotten angry at her and had always been a loving and gentle husband, but now… suddenly she felt her eyes moisten and felt sad and angry.

However, just when she wanted to retort back and ask why he was stopping her, she noticed a faint layer of ice encasing her body, which made breathing hard for her. She hadnʼt noticed it until now because she wasnʼt in her right mind.

ʼThis…? When did it happen?ʼ She thought, her pretty face full of shocked surprise.

It was then she noticed the woman in whiteʼs cold gaze fixated on her. As their eyes met, she felt as if she had fallen into a ten-thousand-year-old freezing ice cave, making her involuntarily shudder.

Gulp!

She swallowed her saliva in nervous fear and finally understood what was happening.

ʼIf I had cursed her, she wouldʼve killed me.ʼ As this scary realisation dawned on her, her face went pale and dread crept up into her heart.

At the same time, she couldnʼt help but feel guilty because she felt angry at her husband when he was trying to save her life.

The woman in white glanced at the man and retracted her icy aura.

Jackʼs father sighed in relief, his gait became a little humbler as he tentatively asked, ”Senior, you arenʼt from the Green leaf kingdom, are you?”

”Iʼm not.” The woman in white nodded.

Hearing this, the man sighed in relief. Since she wasnʼt from the kingdom and didnʼt seem to know about the Hobson family, she wouldʼve really killed his wife just now.

ʼFortunately, she isnʼt a bloodthirsty kind.ʼ He thought and then asked,

”Senior, why are you stopping us from taking our revenge? This person here killed our only son in cold blood.” As he spoke about his sonʼs death, his voice became slightly colder.

The woman in white raised her brow and turned to look at Max, who had recovered slightly and had stood up.

She looked at him up and down and asked, ”Are you Max Garfield? Lillyʼs husband to be?”

Although the voice sounded even, Max suddenly felt a chill run down his spine and cried out in his mind. ʼWoman, why do you sound like I did something wrong?ʼ

After hearing her question, he also understood who she was because not only did she know Lilly, she was also dressed in the same type of clothes as that white-haired woman who took his lovely wife away.

Calming himself down, he nodded. ”Yes, I am. Lilly is already my wife. We just havenʼt held an official ceremony.”

An icy chill flashed through the womanʼs eyes when she heard this, and a disdainful expression appeared on her face.

”A newly ascended three-star mage who is completely helpless against a peak three-star mage. How are you worthy of my junior sister?”

Hearing this, Max narrowed his eyes, anger flashing in them. Mina, Anna, and Amara also frowned at her words.

The woman then shrugged, ”Well, itʼs none of my business and forgive me if my words sounded harsh, but thatʼs my judgement of you. You really arenʼt worth of her when you realise what status my junior sister had on the Sovereign Mountain.”

”How about you keep your judgement to yourself? Just because you are king ranked mage, it didnʼt mean you can spout whatever nonsense that came to your mind. Isnʼt that right?” Max said in an even tone, but his words were biting cold.

The woman narrowed her eyes, her aura becoming palpable. She seemed ready to attack.

Mina, Anna and Amara tensed and just as they wanted to step up to dissolve the tension, the woman retracted her aura and nodded, ”You are right. Let me apologize once again. However, I wonder if I can give you a piece of advice?”

”Shoot it.” Max nodded, calming down when he heard her apologize, even though she didnʼt sound much sincere with that expressionless look on her face.

Boom!

Just as he nodded, the woman released some of her aura, which hit Max and sent him flying.

”Despite knowing Iʼm a king ranked mage, you still dared to talk rudely with me. If it was someone else in my place, you wouldʼve been dead by now. A king mageʼs dignity isnʼt something a tiny three-star kid like you can vilify, understand?”
