Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Chapter 608  Responsible

"You are finally out!" Renu snorted angrily as soon as she saw him.

"Hm?" Max frowned. Why was she acting as though he owed her something?

Vani sighed, and took a step forward before introducing them, "Hello, sir Max. I'm Vani and this is my sister, Renu. We are from the Fuller Family."

"Oh?" From the moment he realized his bloodline's secret was out, he started seeing every force of the capital, especially the four noble families and the Royal family and had mentally prepared himself to fight with everything he had. Because of this, he was caught a little off guard by her polite attitude.

Shouldn't she be trying to kidnap him to extract his bloodline instead? Or was he wrong and the noble families weren't planning to kidnap him?

Max couldn't help but scoff at this thought.

'Their approach may differ, but their end goal is definitely the same.' Vani could see the wariness in his eyes and nodded inwardly before saying, "I'm sure you realize the situation you are in…"

"Ha!" Renu scoffed when she heard him and couldn't help but say, "If he knew it, he would have been trying to escape instead of fooling around with women."

When he was inside the barrier, though she guessed he might be having sex with Claire, she couldn't be completely sure. But after seeing him, she knew she was right and this disgusted her.

How could someone be so… clueless?

Max didn't even bother to look at her, and said to Vani, "Continue." Nôv(el)B\\jnn

He could tell why Renu was being so rude, and couldn't help groan inwardly, 'I should've taken a bath before coming out. At least I wouldn't have to face this.' He wasn't an indifferent or emotionless person, and therefore, it affected him, albeit barely, if someone looked down on him, which Renu clearly was.

Because he had made the mistake of going to his women after sleeping with someone else a few times, he had already decided to take a bath, rub off the foreign scent of his body, each time he slept with someone.

He was going to have a nice bath after he was done with Claire but after a few moments before when he recovered had enough bloodline energy, or replenished his exhausted Bloodline Source to be exact, he had recovered his sanity and instinctively swept his senses around the area and noticed these two suspicious outside the house.

If they were ordinary people or average mages that reside in this neighborhood, he wouldn't have cared enough to stop and would've continued enj… cough, recovering his bloodline energy reserves instead.

However, his Bloodline Sense–another ability he unlocked after breaking the first bloodline lock–told him they weren't ordinary people at all, but were strong mages, most likely Five-star ones because he didn't feel a threat from them despite them being in a higher realm than him.

What could such people be in front of Claire's house? They surely weren't her acquaintances since they neither knocked the door nor messaged her, instead, they were… waiting.

From this, it wasn't difficult for him to realize that they were here for him. Though they didn't seem to have any intentions to break into the house, he didn't take the risk and came out. Who knew if their patience ran out and they really broke into the house? He didn't want to scare Claire and her son.

On the side note, the reason why the Twins, despite being in a higher realm, didn't detect his probing was because his Bloodline Sense had a special trait–Stealth. Although he couldn't be sure since he hadn't tested its limits, he had a guess that for someone to be able to detect his Bloodline Sense's probing, they had to be at least two realms above him, or have some unique sensory ability or treasure.

"You!" Renu was enraged seeing how he was treating her like air. But before she could say something, Vani shot her a glare. Though this stopped her from speaking, she became even more resentful of Max, which he noticed because the intensity at which she was staring at him had increased several folds.

'She is too willful. If I get the chance, I should pound some sense into her.' He idly thought. Immediately he realized something, and frowned.

Seeing him frown, Vani sighed, and said, "You might be unaware, but just a while ago, people from other families had come to… take you, and they would have succeeded if not for us. Of course, that's just my assumption. Maybe you could've handled them."

"Anyway, what I mean is, unlike others, the Fuller family respects you and wouldn't try to force you to do anything. However, if you consider visiting the Fuller family as our guest, we'll ensure your and your companion's safety while you are there."

Max's eyes narrowed when he heard this. A few moments later, he took a deep breath, glanced in a few directions before asking, "Tell me, if I don't agree to be your 'guest', you all will immediately come for me, is that right?"

Vani's eyes shone while Renu showed visible surprise on her face because in each of the directions he looked, someone from the three noble families was hiding. If they weren't Five-star mages and therefore had unlocked their Divine Sense, even they would have been unable to sense their presence, but he located them despite being just a Four-star mage which told them he was indeed extraordinary just as their patriarch had said.

Vani shook her head, "The others will, the Fuller family will not since we want to form a peaceful relationship with you. Now, can you please make your decision?"

"Given the current situation, it would be stupid of me to refuse. So, yes, I'll be your guest." Max calmly stated. Inwardly, however, he was seething. He didn't know if going to the Fuller family was a good idea but he had no choice to accept. If he was alone, he wouldn't have hesitated even for a moment to kill his way out of the capital, but he was not alone and had to think about the wellbeing of his companions.

'You all will pay for this.'
