Strongest Mage with the Lust system

595  Oliverʼs Surprise

Emily and Lily were sitting around a table, worried looks on their faces. However, both were worried for different reasons.

”It wouldʼve been better if we had some way to infiltrate the Arasia family. That way, we couldʼve avoided him for a little longer.” Emily muttered.

Lily felt her heart warming. In the Garfield family, although no one treated her too coldly, they werenʼt very friendly to her either. Now, however, seeing Emily care for her, she felt happy.

This was also the reason why she was so worried. She wasnʼt worried even if she died, but she didnʼt want her young master, or Emily to be harmed while they tried to save her. It was unacceptable for her. But she knew they wouldnʼt listen to her, and would even get angry if she told them to leave her alone.

Seeing Lily lost in her thoughts, Emily placed a hand on her shoulder, ”Do not think too much. Believe in Max. Since he has said he can save you, he definitely can.”

”Lady Em–”

”Call me Sister or Sister Emily.” Emily interrupted Lily.

Lily nodded, ”S-sister Emily, Iʼm not worried whether the young master can save me, I just… donʼt want you guys to be harmed because of–”

”Just shut up if you donʼt have anything good to say.” Emily coldly interjected.

Lily flinched when she heard her angry voice, and meekly lowered her head.

Emily looked at her and continued coldly, ”Do you think only you have the right to care for our safety and wellbeing, and Max and I donʼt? Donʼt forget, you are no longer just a maid, you are now Maxʼs woman, and thereby a member of my Garfield family.”

Tears appeared in Lilyʼs eyes. She felt happy being acknowledged by her.

Emily then shifted her gaze to the tavernʼs entrance, as she continued in a chilling tone, ”If some bastard wants to harm a member of my family, Iʼll do anything it takes to take his head. No one–when I say one one, I mean No One, it doesnʼt matter who they are–who dares to harm my family, deserves to live any longer.”

If Lily had been looking at her, she wouldʼve noticed that Emilyʼs pupils had turned golden for a brief moment.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, Lilyʼs heart skipped a beat, and she shot to her feat.

”What is it?” Emily asked.

”We need to run!” Lily didnʼt explain. She just grabbed Emilyʼs hand and dashed out of the tavern from the backgate, which they had already secured after beating Old Boar.

Swoosh!

Not long after they left, Oliver appeared in the sky not too far from the tavern. After looking around, he couldnʼt help but frown. The area was too big and his Blood Sense talisman couldnʼt accurately determine her location. Since Lily was already aware of her presence, she would definitely not stay in one location for long. Meaning he had to continuously use the blood sense talismans, but the problem was, he only had three more drops of her blood left.

Suddenly, he grinned, ”This is getting more and more interesting. Still, I would have to punish you for making me run around for so long.”

After that, he used another Blood sense talisman.

…

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Half an hour later, Emily and Lily could be seen running through a resident area in the mid part of the city.

Both were perspiring sweat, and their delicate brows were furrowed tightly. Just a while ago, they had seen Oliver looking for them. Fortunately, they had used a concealment talisman in time, or he wouldʼve found them.

Still, even though they managed to escape, Lily could feel they would be found sooner rather than later.

Oliver, on the other hand, was leisurely hovering in the sky, watching them flee. He had already found them a while ago, but didnʼt immediately capture her because he wanted to enjoy the look of desperation on Lilyʼs face a bit more. That was why he acted as though he hadnʼt noticed them and went away. He then used a Grade five Concealment Talisman, and started following them.

Looking at Lilyʼs and Emilyʼs back views, he licked his lips and muttered, ”My lovely Lily, she found me one more beauty to enjoy. How nice of her!”

After half an hour of continuous running, even mages like Emily and Lily were starting to feel exhausted, and thirsty. Wanting to rest a little, and drink some water, Emily took her to a small restaurant.

Swoosh!

Just when they sat down, someone appeared in front of them and asked, ”Exhausted? Need something to eat or drink?”

Emily was about to say yes when she noticed the figure wasnʼt a waiter, but Oliver. She immediately shot to her feet, released her aura and went into her fight mode. Lily, on the other hand, stayed put. Letting out a helpless sigh, she looked at him and asked, ”You had already found us?”

Oliver grinned, ”Of course. You didnʼt really think your low grade concealment talisman could help you hide from my senses, did you?”

Emily frowned. ”Why are you wasting time talking to him, letʼs just fi–”

Before she could finish, Lily interrupted her, ”Itʼs alright, sister Emily.”

Emily narrowed her eyes, ”What do you mean?”

Lily didnʼt answer, and just sighed. Right now, she wasnʼt thinking how she should fight or escape, but how to save her. She knew Oliver wouldnʼt leave her alone, meaning she was in danger too.

Just when this thought crossed her mind, Oliver turned his gaze to Emily and looked her up and down, ”You arenʼt too far from her in terms of appearance, not bad. Furthermore, unlike her made up cold personality, yours is natural. I like it.”

”I donʼt need you to like anything.” Emily coldly said. Despite the obvious disparity between their strength, she wasnʼt afraid at all.

Oliver grinned, and suddenly moved. Lilyʼs expression changed. She wanted to intercept him, but he was too fast, and the distance between them was too little.

Swoosh!

However, to both her and Oliverʼs surprise, Emily managed to react on time, and took a step back, dodging Oliverʼs hand going for her neck.

”Hm?” Oliver paused briefly due to his surprise, but then his expression became even more playful, and he moved again.

Swoosh!

Emily tried to dodge again, but this time, he was faster. However, just when he was about to grab her neck, Lily appeared beside her. Her hand glowed white as she slapped toward his hand.

Oliverʼs eyes flashed when he saw this. Before their hands could collide, he pulled it back and retreated back to the place he was standing at before.

”So, itʼs true. You indeed have a special bloodline. No wonder Iʼm so attracted to you.” He said, staring at Lily with a greedy and lustful glint in his eyes.

Lily raised her brows in confusion. ”What special bloodline?”

”You donʼt know?” Oliver was surprised. He then grinned, ”Ah, aunt Rose, your master is really kind. No wonder father said she isnʼt made for big things.”

”Donʼt you dare disrespect my master?” Lily said as, for the first time since she saw him, a killing intent appeared in the depths of her eyes.

”Tsk! Iʼm not disrespecting her, Iʼm just stating facts.” Oliverʼs smile only widened when he noticed her killing intent. He then asked, ”Donʼt you want to know what special bloodline you have and why your master hasnʼt told you anything about it?”

Without hesitation, Lily shook her head, ”No. Since my master hasnʼt told me, she must have a reason. When the time comes, sheʼll tell me.”

”Haha, when the time comes you say…” Oliver chuckled and sat down, ”Yeah, wait for that time and let your master suffer for you.”

Hearing this, Lily frowned, ”What do you mean?”

Oliver laughed inwardly. It seemed he didnʼt have to use force to make her submit. How wonderful! He thought.

”Unlike other bloodlines, yours is a special one. It should have gone extinct by now. So, Iʼm surprised to see this. Now, I understand why your master didnʼt let you out much, let alone let you fight. She wanted to conceal your bloodline.”

Oliver shook his head, ”But she is foolish. She thought people wouldnʼt notice it, but many had already become suspicious and managed to guess something when she started buying those pure Ice and Fire Elemental natural treasures not long returning with you. She needed to–”

Lily coldly interrupted him, ”Donʼt beat around the bush! Tell me how my master would suffer for me?”

Oliver thought for a moment before saying, ”Just as I said, your bloodline is of a special kind. It is a dual elemental Ice and Fire bloodline, and incomparably pure one at that.”

”This type of two opposite nature bloodline is very rare, and powerful. At the same time, it is extremely dangerous bloodline. Despite how strong it is, no normal person would hope to have this type of bloodline because those who have it... are destined to live a short life.”
