Strongest Mage with the Lust system

610  Weird Proposal

Unfortunately, he could only bristle in anger, unable to do anything. Even if he hadnʼt lost his authority, he wouldnʼt have been able to order the family to hunt a King mage down.

Then, the demon invasion happened and he got so busy he forgot about his grieving daughter and the murderer of his grandson.

However, when he heard the name and description of the boy with an extraordinary bloodline, he recalled what Helen had told him about Jackʼs murderer and realized both were the same person. At that moment, he had sighed in helplessness because the familyʼs plans regarding Max didnʼt exactly match Helenʼs desire for revenge. Thus, he decided not to inform her. But as luck would have it, she still found out.

”Father! Tell me, is this true?” Seeing his father not respond, she asked again.

Sighing in his heart, Grem nodded, ”Yes, itʼs true.”

Hearing this, Helenʼs eyes shone with such killing intent that the air around seemed to freeze. ”Where is he father? Is that slut with him? If she is not, I would kill him… no, Iʼll first torture him… hahaha… he will be sorry my killing my sunshine.” She started laughing hysterically, but tears were glistening in her eyes.

While others frowned in disgust, Grem felt his heartache. He stood up, walked over to her and gently hugged her, ”Yeah baby. Weʼll make him regret laying his hands on my grandson.”

”Good. I knew you wouldnʼt let him go. But why… have… you… not cap…” While speaking, Helen became drowsy and fell asleep in his arms.

Grem took a deep breath, his eyes flashing. Then, he glanced at one of his sons in the hall and ordered, ”Take her to her mansion.”

His son, who looked a younger version of him, furrowed his brows, unwillingness clear on his face. But seeing his father looking at him with emotionless gaze, he shivered and hurriedly came over.

Grem returned to his seat, and glanced at an older woman sitting near him, ”So, the Fullers took him? What about the Royal family? Didnʼt they show up?”

The woman–an elder–frowned. She could tell his tone wasnʼt the same as it was a while ago, but didnʼt comment on it and answered, ”The Fullers used the favor to keep him for a week.”

Grem remained silent for a few moments, deep in thought before saying, ”There is only one thing we can do now if we want that boy.”

”And what is that?” An elder asked.

Grem swept his glance at everyone present and then announced, ”War!”

Everyoneʼs expression changed when they heard this and an old man frowned, ”Donʼt be impulsive, Grem! The Royal family will not allow us to fight.”

Grem looked at him with contempt in his eyes, ”Why donʼt you tell us your brilliant idea then?”

”...” The elder went silent.

Grem knew many of the elders wouldnʼt agree just because he was the one who suggested this. So, he said, ”You all seem to be forgetting something important… Itʼs the Grand Elders who want that boy. If we fail… the consequences will be drastic.”

Hearing this, everyoneʼs expression turned serious.

Imentet, sitting among the Five-star elders, sneered upon seeing that even after the reminder, the elders were still hesitating.

So, she looked up at Grem and asked, ”So, whatʼs the plan, patriarch? How are we going to snatch the boy?”

Hearing this, Grem smiled and then said, ”We canʼt let him fall into the Royal familyʼs hands. So, we will have to act within these seven days. Weʼll first…”

…

Avan Inn…

Rey was anxiously pacing around in Shashaʼs room. It had been over two hours since Emily informed them that Max had left the Inn to do something important and would soon return. Then, they could leave.

”Why hasnʼt the team leader returned? If we donʼt leave soon, things will become more troublesome.” He muttered.

Shasha, sitting cross-legged on the bed, opened her eyes and said in an annoyed tone, ”Can you calm down?”

Rey looked at her, and asked, ”You arenʼt worried at all, sister?”

”Why would I be? Since we have already decided to follow him, weʼll deal with everything together. Whether we die or thrive, itʼs up to our destiny.” Shasha calmly said.

”...”

Rey looked at her, speechless. He then exhaled deeply and sat down on the ground, ”You are right. There is no need for us to worry. We only need to follow him”

Despite saying this, he couldnʼt calm down.

Just then…

Ta! Ta!

Someone knocked on the door.

They opened the door and saw Emily standing there with the Grandfather-Granddaughter pair and two unfamiliar people.

ʼThey are strong!ʼ Both had this thought when they saw them. Then, they looked at Emily in confusion.

”Where is the team leader? And who are they?” Rey asked.

”They are from the Fuller Family. Something happened, and we can no longer leave the city. So, Max had decided to stay with the Fuller family for the time being.” Emily briefly explained, her expression unreadable.

A few moments later, the group walked out of the Inn. Immediately, Shashaʼs senses picked up several powerful auras in the surroundings, and frowned.

”You donʼt need to worry about them. They wonʼt dare to do anything while you are with us.” One of the Fullers said upon noticing the change in expression.

Shasha nodded. Then, under their lead, they headed toward the Fuller estate. …

Meanwhile, Max had already arrived at the Fuller estate and was sitting in front of Mike, Patriarch Fuller.

He took a sip of the tea, looked Mike in the eyes and asked, ”So, you are saying you will safely send me and my companions out of the city while offending all the other families, including the Royal family without asking for anything in return?”

Mike sipped his tea and smiled, ”Thatʼs right.”

Max frowned, ”What are you playing at, old man?”

”Nothing.” Mike continued to smile, ”You can rest assured, there is no scheme at play.”

”I refuse to believe that.” Max shook his head, ”Just tell me what you want.”

Mike took another sip and smiled, ”What do you think of becoming my son-in-law?”

”Huh?”
