Strongest Mage with the Lust system-Novel

Chapter 474 It's wrong to pity when you are weak

When Noah heard this, all his anger dissipated, being replaced by fear. He could clearly see Max wasn't the same timid guy as he was before and won't endure their bullying anymore.

"I-I… under… stand." Noah struggled to speak.

"Good. Now keep quiet and don't make any noise. It'll just make everyone feel worse than they already are feeling." Max said, removing his hand from his neck.

Ha! Ha!

Noah gasped for air and then looked at everyone, hoping that they would scold Max or at least say something for treating him like this, but no one, including his mother and sister, said anything, causing his expression to turn dark. He gave Max a hateful glance and walked out of the room.

After he went out, Max glanced at Amelia and apologized. "I'm sorry for just now."

Although she didn't say anything, Noah was her son, after all, and she wouldn't feel good when someone hit him.

"It's alright. He shouldn't have burst out like too." Amelia sighed.

Max nodded and said, "I'll go and meet that king mage."

He was about to walk out when Anna ran up to him. "Let me go with you."

"No. You should take Amara to her room and get some rest." Max shook his head. He wanted to be alone with Garima so he could discuss certain things with her.

"Okay." Anna pouted in dissatisfaction. It wasn't daily she met a king ranked mage, so she wanted to be near her as much as he could so she could learn something from her.

Max smiled wryly and instinctively rubbed her head, saying, "I have some private things to discuss with her."

Hearing this, Anna narrowed her eyes at him, making him sweat, but she didn't say anything and led Amara out of the room.

Max shook his head and also walked out, heading for Garima's room.

Back in Ashton's room, Esther and Mina glanced at Amelia when they saw how close Anna seemed to be with Max. They knew she was always close with him, but today something seemed different.

Amelia had obviously noticed this because there was a frown on her face. But she then shook her head and returned to sit by Ashton's side.

Since she didn't seem bothered about it, Esther and Mina ignored it, too. Standing by William's side, Eva had an amused look in her eyes and thought,

'This guy… he is really something.'

Max arrived before Garima's room and, just as he raised his hand to knock, the door opened.

'I keep forgetting they have divine sense.' He thought, smiling wryly.

Garima glanced at him, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Please come in."

This was the first time she invited someone into her room so she wasn't feeling comfortable, but to get find the cure for her physique, she had to be as polite as possible.

The corner of Max's lips twitched when he noticed her reluctance. But he chose to ignore it and followed her inside and closed the door behind him.

"Mm?" Garima raised her brows upon noticing this but didn't say anything.

Max walked over to the bed and sat down before saying, "Can you make it so no one can hear us?"

Garima looked at him in silence. She didn't like that he didn't even ask before sitting on her bed. But then again, she didn't say anything about it and waved her hand.

Whoosh!

A wave of mana surged out of her and created a thin, Ice barrier around them.

Max looked around and asked, "You sure she won't be able to hear us now?"

Garima snorted softly and said, "She can't unless she breaks this barrier."

"That's good then." Max smiled and looked at her silently, waiting for her to speak.

Garima flinched slightly under his intense gaze and asked, "Can you tell me how do you know about my physique? Did someone tell you?"

"No. No one told me. I just know." Since he couldn't tell her about the system, he could only lie.

Garima frowned at his answer, and her voice grew a little cold. "Are you lying to me?"

"Nope. I'm telling the truth." Max shook his head.

Garima was disappointed a little when she heard this and then asked, "You said if I had a suitable cultivation technique, my physique wouldn't affect me negatively, right? I-Is there any other way to cure it?"

She didn't ask what cultivation technique he was talking about because it should be better than the [Ice god technique] and she didn't know if there was a better Ice cultivation technique than it. So, she could only hope that there was another way to solve her problem.

However, her hopes shattered when Max shook his head. "From what I know, there isn't anything else."

Step! Step!

She staggered backwards; her face turning even paler.

"Ha, what did I expect?" She laughed mournfully and crystal tears appeared in her eyes, threatening to fall down.

Max knew he should wait for a while so she could despair a little, which would make her vulnerable to agree to his condition when he told her he could save her. However, he couldn't bear it when he saw her like this and spoke up,

"If you want, I can give you the suitable technique for your [Ice Yin body]."

"Hm?" Her eyes lit up when she heard this and as she looked at him, Max suddenly felt the air around him freeze.

'Fuck! I shouldn't have pitied her.' Max cursed when he sensed the change. He knew she must be thinking of forcing him to hand over the technique.

So, he hurriedly shouted, "I don't have it with me, so there is no use trying to force me. If you want it, you have to agree to my conditions."

Garima narrowed her eyes and waved her hand. As soon as she did, his spatial ring flew out of his finger and landed in her hand.

She scanned it with her sense and frowned because there were only a few useless things such as mana stones and such. There was no sign of any technique.

She retracted her Ice elemental mana, causing the surrounding air to return to normal and threw his ring back.

"Tell me your conditions."
