Greatest Legacy of the Magus Universe

Chapter 359: Apology

The entrance was guarded by half a dozen burly men dressed in black robes. From the mana signature radiating from them, Adam confirmed that they were only Rank 1 Magi.

As he approached the entrance, one of the men stopped him and spoke flatly, ”You are prohibited from using magic inside. If it is found that you have broken the rule—”

SLAP!

Adam slapped the man across his face, instantly shutting him up. His expression twisted in anger and he spat through gritted teeth, ”I understand that I have to follow rules inside his place…

”But how dare you talk to me like that? A mere Mana Foundation Magus dares to talk to me with attitude? Who the hell do you think you are?!”

His boisterous screams attracted the attention of everyone passing by.

When Adam had approached the entrance to Velvet Dreams, he had purposely hidden his mana signature and aura.

He was actually hoping for something like this to happen.

”You think I wonʼt kill you for your offense?!” He roared.

When the guard realized that it was a Mana Liquefaction Magus that he was dealing with, his body trembled in fear.

Although he believed that the way he had addressed this fat Magus was in no way disrespectful, that didnʼt help him out with the current predicament that he found himself in.

In the face of the huge difference in power levels between them, no matter what the guard said or did, he would always be in the wrong.

This was a world that followed the principle of might makes right!

The guard hurriedly got to his knees and slammed his forehead against the ground repeatedly. ”Please, forgive me, Lord Magus! I have made a terrible mistake! Please forgive me!”

However, Adam didnʼt relent.

”Just because Iʼm not from around here, you think you can look down on me?! What was the point of me working so hard and reaching this level of power and status? Just so an insect like you can treat me with contempt? Huh? Answer me, you trash!”

The more Adam spoke, the redder his face turned from anger. By now, a large crowd had gathered in front of Velvet Dreams, waiting to see the drama unfold.

”You know what?” Adamʼs eyes flashed with a cold light. ”I must make an example of you right here, right now.”

With that said, his hand turned into a fist, and the next moment a layer of mana covered it. Adam then punched straight toward the manʼs face.

But right at that moment, the tall double doors swung open and a figure rushed out.

”My Lord, please stay your hand!”

Adam stopped his fist only an inch away from smashing the guardʼs face to oblivion.

However, the wind generated by the youthʼs fist was so frightening that it struck the guard like a tsunami and instantly shredded his clothes.

The guardʼs facial orifices started to slowly bleed, however, he didnʼt dare move an inch. He glanced at the fist right in front of his face with wide eyes.

Adam glanced at the white-robed person who had just arrived and was now standing beside the guard.

It was a young man with a head full of long black hair tied into a ponytail. His eyes were brown in color and he also seemed to have put on some makeup on his face.

”Who the hell are you?” Adam grumbled.

Although he already knew who this person was.

Seeing Adam not go through with his earlier aggressive action, the white-robed man breathed a sigh of relief.

He then glanced at Adam and displayed a professional smile. ”This humble one is called Cade. Iʼm the keeper of the Velvet Dreams.”

Adamʼs eyes narrowed. ”So youʼre the one that looks after this pleasure house?” The next moment, his voice turned cold. ”Is this how you teach your dogs to behave with potential customers?”

A chill crawled up Cadeʼs spine when he heard Adamʼs voice. Despite that, the smile on his face did not falter.

He respectfully bowed and apologized, ”Please forgive him for his lack of manners, my lord.”

”Oi.” Adam stepped forward and spoke with blatant hostility, ”Do you think a simple apology is enough for how your dog has behaved with me?”

Cade nervously gulped. He stood back up and gazed into Adamʼs cold eyes. He hurriedly looked away, afraid to anger him further.

He was but a Rank 1 Magus. There was no way he could deal with the fury of a Rank 2 Magus.

Then, he secretly glanced behind Adam and saw that a large crowd had already gathered by now. It seemed like they were intent on watching how this played out.

Damn it! This is terrible for our public image, Cade thought to himself helplessly.

The next moment, a familiar voice rang inside his mind, guiding him out of his plight. A few seconds later, he glanced at Adam with a confident smile.

”My Lord, I have just been instructed by my Master to give you the VIP treatment as compensation for the mistreatment youʼve just faced.”

Cade then glanced at the guard, who was still kneeling on the ground, and continued, ”As for this fool who has dared to insult you, we will severely discipline him.”

Heh, your Master, huh? Adam thought to himself, his eyes gleaming with cold glint which he quickly concealed.

His expression changed. He started to stroke his double chin and muttered with interest, ”What kind of VIP treatment are we talking about?”

”You will be taken to an exquisite private suite,” Cade began. ”There, you will have your choice of our most sought-after courtesans. Of course, my Master will also give you a hefty discount on your final bill.”

Adamʼs eyes sparkled with debauchery as he nodded. ”That is acceptable.” The next moment, he raised his voice for everyone gathered to hear. ”Good! Very good! As expected of the finest pleasure house in the crimson district! Hahaha!”

Hearing his words, some people in the crowd nodded in acknowledgment, while others shook their heads in disappointment after realizing that the drama was over.

Seeing the crowd gradually disperse, Cade breathed a sigh of relief. He then glanced at Adam and smiled, ”My Lord, please follow me.”

”Hmm.” Adam nodded and followed the man through the entrance.

But when he stepped foot inside the pleasure house, the scene that greeted him caused him to be wide-eyed.
