Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Chapter 584  Royal Capital Shocked

"Huh?..." Miss Akilah blinked in confusion.

Then, after a moment when he mind registered she was being hugged, and her back was caressed, her face turned crimson in anger and embarrassment.

Swoosh!

She twisted her body as though it was boneless, and escaped from his evil clutches.

Boom!

At the same time, Max felt a tremendous force slam into him, which rattled his mind for a moment. By the time he came to his senses, he was already off the ground and was about to crash into a few people.

He hurriedly utilized his mana, and was barely able to change his flying trajectory so he wouldn't crash into the crowd. Then, after a few meters of flight, he gently landed on his feet.

Just then, he heard Miss Akilah's angry shout, "You… How dare you take advantage of me?! I'll kill you!"

Immediately after that, she raised her hand, her mana swirling around it, ready to attack. Seeing this, Max felt a chill run down his spine. He could tell she was a king rank mage, and if she attacked, he would most likely die since he wasn't confident he could dodge her attack.

Therefore, he hurriedly raised his hands and shouted, "Hey, hey, stop! I was just trying to help you calm down since you had become too excited to control your mana. If I hadn't hugged her when I did, you might've suffered a mana backlash."

Miss Akilah hesitated when she heard him, then frowned in confusion. She knew people could suffer mana backlash if they were in an extreme state of emotion, but she was sure her mana was completely under control and nothing such would've happened.

However, since he had already said he did that with good intentions, she had no choice but to drop the matter or she would seem like an ungrateful person. Thus, she slowly lowered her hand and dissipated her mana. She was very angry, and even more embarrassed.

She was the proud daughter of one of two owners of the Sterling Merchant Hall. Since she was young, everyone had treated her with respect, and not a single person ever dared to speak loudly to her, let alone touch her. This person, however, not only dared to hug her, and feel up her body, he even dared to give such a lousy excuse? However, seeing how everyone was looking at her, she couldn't do anything about it. Suddenly, she seemed to remember something, which made her face pale. All her life, because of her status, she didn't have a single person who she could call her friend. As she grew up, she came to dislike, or even hate her status, but couldn't do anything about it. However, she could try living a normal life, and possibly make some friends. That was why she wanted to leave the Sterling Merchant Hall and live somewhere where no one knew her.

Her overprotective father, however, immediately refused. However, after she threatened to never talk to him, he reluctantly agreed, but instead of allowing her to go live alone, he made her the manager of Sterling Auction House in the Green Leaf Kingdom, and sent her here. She naturally protested this arrangement. The reason she wanted to leave the Sterling Merchant Hall was because she didn't want a high status and wanted to live a normal life, but her father was once again giving her a high status. Would anyone dare to talk with or behave normally around the manager of the Sterling Auction House in such a tiny kingdom? Obviously not.

But her protest was useless because her father didn't even listen to her. Fortunately, he allowed her to do whatever she wanted in the Green Leaf Kingdom; she had complete freedom as long as she was in the auction house.

Therefore, after arriving in the Green Leaf kingdom, she took the manager's post without any ceremony, and only allowed very few people to see her. After that, she arranged for herself a new employee's identity, and started working as an attendant. She was very happy because she was no longer treated like some untouchable and unapproachable existence. She freely interacted with employees and the customers. Now, however… Everyone knew who she was. Could she still continue with her attendant life? The possibility was too low because unlike before, too many people knew her identity, and the chances were very high that someone would spread the news about her hobby. After that, everyone would act cautiously with the attendants, denying her a normal life she wanted.

Thinking all this, she glared at the employee who disclosed her identity, but seeing her pale face, she sighed. She knew this employee didn't do it on purpose. So, she didn't have the heart to hold her accountable.

Suddenly, her eyes flashed and turned to look at Max. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

'It's all because of him. If he hadn't brought those two extraordinary magic spells, causing me to lose my mind for a moment, this wouldn't have happened. Not only that, he also took advantage of me.' She directed all her anger and resentment to Max. Her piercing gaze made Max shiver, and he went on high alert.

'This woman… isn't easy to mess with.' He thought. For a moment, he wanted to blast her with his full charm. Even though she was a king rank mage, she was still a woman, and from how she became so angry from embarrassment, he could tell she was also a virgin. So, he believed his charm should be enough to make her knees go soft, her sacred cave tingle.

But after a thought, he dropped the idea because it was too risky. She would surely notice the abnormality with her, and it wouldn't be difficult for her to connect it to him since she would be attracted to him thanks to his charm. Instead of submitting to her desires, the chances were higher that she would go on a rampage and kill him.

'Fuck! If I was also a king ranked mage, I wouldn't have to worry this much.' He cursed. Even though he felt it was a pity, and was reluctant to, he had no choice but to drop his perverted ideas about her.

Just then, Miss Akilah smiled at everyone and calmly said, "I'm sure all of you have heard what I said about these two magic spells. I will discuss the details with this honored sir. If everything went well, which I'm sure will, we'll be auctioning them in the afternoon. So, take advantage of this time and gather as much money as you can if you want to buy them."

After saying this, she flashed in front of Max, and grabbed his shoulder, "Honored sir, shall we go and discuss the details?"

Although she asked this, she didn't give him any chance to speak and simply disappeared from the reception hall with him.

There was pin drop silence in the hall as the crowd digested everything they heard and saw. Then,

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Everyone rushed out of the auction house at full speed. Although the revelation of Miss Akilah's strange hobby was quite shocking, it was nothing in front of the Super Realmbreaker Magic Spells.

Within half an hour, the entirety of Royal Capital stirred as a piece of shocking news spread. The Sterling Auction House was going to auction two Super Realmbreaker Elemental Magic Spells, capable of increasing the user's strength by three whole realms.

At first, the Royal family, noble families, and various powers were suspicious. After all, they had never heard of any Super Realmbreaker Magic Spells, but after they confirmed the news with the Sterling Auction House, they immediately sent their representative to the auction with as much wealth as they could carry in spatial rings.

…

After the long chase, Oliver was tired, and since taking Lilly away from the Royal Palace was troublesome, he had decided to rest for the night, and was going to take action in the morning. However, right as he left the inn, he heard the widespread news.

Just like everyone in the capital, he didn't believe in the news at first. But after the Sterling Auction House, which also had a substantial presence even in the central plains confirmed it, he changed his plans and headed over to the auction house. Clearly, the charm of spells capable of increasing power by three realms was irresistible.

…

Sterling Auction House, Top Floor, Manager's office…

Max and Miss Akilah were sitting facing each other. Max was feeling uneasy because it had been over ten minutes since they arrived. Until now, she hadn't said anything and was just staring at him with a blank look. "Um, Miss manager, are we going to talk about the magic spells?" Max asked, no longer able to endure.

Miss Akilah ignored his question, and after staying silent for a few more seconds, she asked, "Can you guess what I am thinking right now?" Hearing this, Max knew he was in trouble. But gathering his courage, he said...
