Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Chapter 643  Foolish

Boom!

His mana mixed with bloodline energy flared, and Phoenix's Wings was activated. Just as he moved, Riva's calm voice sounded.

"Calm down! She is fine."

Swoosh!

Max, however, disregarded her and appeared beside Sera.

Then…

There was nothing… Sera was fine. A layer of hardened earth had blocked Emily's Wind Crescent, and her fist.

"I can't beat her." Emily said in an indifferent voice, before turning around to leave. But then she paused, looked at him and asked, "Did you think just because I'm angry with you, I will try to harm her?" "No." Max shook his head, "I knew you would not. I was just… startled."

Just then, Riva walked over and looked at him coldly, "If you had cared to talk with Sera, you would've known about her dual elements and that she also had superior mana control. But you…"

Hearing this, Emily's eyes narrowed. After giving him a cold look, she walked away.

For the first time, Max felt Riva wasn't bad because if she hadn't said what she just now, Emily would have been hurt by his apparent lack of trust.

He knew her well enough to know she wouldn't do anything stupid like hurting his loved ones just because she was angry, but when Sophie cried out and he saw Sera's water shield torn open and the Crescent cutting into her neck, he had believed otherwise.

"Thank you." He whispered to Riva, who gave him a stink eye before facing Sera, who was looking at Max with a worried look.

She felt very good seeing how he got worried for her, but she also knew his action had hurt Emily, someone who he cared a lot about.

Even though he didn't show it on his face, he was very disturbed by the fact that she was angry with him. Now, however, the situation seemed to have turned even worse.

Riva sighed when she saw Sera's look, and grabbed her wrist, "Come, I'll get you registered."

… An hour later, a group of over a dozen people led by Pauline left the Fuller estate.

Max, Lily and Emily were in this group, their appearances disguised by the masks.

As soon as they stepped out of the Fuller estate, Max felt several people in hiding scanning them with their divine senses.

'Eighteen Five Star Magus? They aren't holding at all.' Max mused. Though he was enraged at being targeted like this, he didn't show it on his face nor his eyes, not wanting to get noticed by their divine senses. Outwardly, he appeared nervous yet excited just like the people around him.

Soon, they arrived at the northern area of the city, where people could register themselves.

Although the eighteen magus hadn't followed them after finding nothing suspicious, he still felt a few people watching their group.

'Tsk! How cautious!'

…

When they entered the building that was being called 'War Building' by the people, he carefully spread his bloodline sense to scan the building to see if there was any King Mage.

Although his bloodline sense was very strong and no Five Star Mage, including Riva, Mike and others, had managed to detect it, he wasn't sure if King Mages wouldn't be able to do so either. That was why he had to be extremely careful.

A few moments later, he frowned, and thought, 'You really can't believe the rumors.'

The common knowledge was; the current King, King Azaroth, was the sole King Mage in the Green Leaf Kingdom.

However, he had just sensed three King Magus. Although they weren't too stronger than Oliver, they were still in the King Realm.

'So even Early-Stage King Magus can't detect my Bloodline Sense?' He thought, his lips curling up in a small smile.

Since only peak King Magus could see through their masks, Max, Emily and Lily managed to register without any problem.

Just when they were walking out of the building, another group entered the building.

When they crossed each other, Max noticed a silver-haired and silver-eyes man among them, his steps paused for the briefest of moments and a murderous glint flashed in his eyes before it disappeared and he continued walking out.

Count Wiley, lost in his thoughts as he entered the building with people from the Dalton family members, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine and the hair on his neck stood on the ends.

However, before he could try to sense the origin of this sudden dread, it vanished without a trace.

Stopping in his tracks, he looked around the hall but didn't find anything suspicious. Then, he turned around and looked at the groups walking.

Immediately, his eyes narrowed because one of the group belonged to the Fuller Family.

'Fuller Family… Max…' He immediately made the connection and took a mental picture of everyone's back view. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"What's wrong?" Dean Dalton asked before he followed his gaze and saw Fuller family's group.

Eyes narrowing, he asked, "Is he…"

"I think so." Wiley nodded, Dean's eyes flashed as he thought, 'Matriarch was right. The Fullers are more than capable of sneaking him out of the city under everyone's noses.'

He then urged, "Let's quickly get ourselves registered and go back and meet the Matriarch."

Wiley nodded.

…

Meanwhile, outside the building, Max sighed in his heart.

'He is every bit as intelligent and sharp as Ashton said he was.'

'Fortunately, it doesn't look like they will tell the Arasia family.' He thought, regretting letting anger take control of him for a moment.

…

After they returned, he told Emily, Lily and Sera, who had also returned after registering, how Count Wiley seemed to have realized their plan.

Bang!

As soon as Emily heard his name, her anger flared and she punched the table into smithereens.

"It's good he didn't die to those demons." She said, her voice filled with dark murderous rage.

Lily also knew the story about the Count Wiley and from Emily she had already found out about the attack on the Garfield family. So, her eyes also turned chilly at the mention of his name.

Sera silently observed them until they calmed down before saying, "Si… um, Max, wouldn't it be more troublesome now that he knows about our plan?"

"No." Max shook his head, "He and the Dalton family seemed to be acting alone. So, the chances are they wouldn't tell the noble families about it."

His gaze flickering, he added, "This means they won't and can't cause any problem before we arrive at the battlefront, or at least leave the city."

"How utterly foolish!"
