Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Chapter 629  Revealing The Truth

Max placed a finger on her lips, silencing her. He then looked into her eyes and confidently said, "If he comes, he will leave his life here. So, don\'t worry, okay?"

Lily wanted to argue, but seeing his confident gaze, she kept silent.

Then, a moment later, she quietly said, "We can\'t afford to kill him. He has a strong backing."

Max shook his head, "We\'ll worry about it when he returns. For now, I have something more important to talk about."

…

Because Sera and Claire were there, Ruo and her grandfather didn\'t dare leave. After a while, Ruo started talking to Sera and Claire.

The old man was a little worried initially because he knew not everyone was like Max. However, Sera and Claire didn\'t seem bothered by Ruo\'s constant chattering. In fact, they were responding to her every question.

Watching them happily talk about random things, he fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, Claire said, "Little Ruo, while we are living here, you should play with my son, Kevin. He is the same age as you."

Silence!

Ruo\'s smiling face turned gloomy when she heard her while the old man snapped out of his thoughts.

Seeing this, Claire frowned and asked, "Is something wrong, little Ruo?"

Ruo shook her head, and forced a smile on her face, "There\'s nothing wrong, milady. Please excuse me."

Saying this, she stood up, bowed toward them before leaving the living room.

The old man sighed as he watched her leave. Then he also stood up, but before leaving, he told them about Little Ruo\'s condition.

Claire felt bad for unintentionally hurting her. She wanted to go and apologize to her, but thinking she might want to be alone for the time being, she stopped herself.

\'I\'ll do it when we meet next.\'

Sera also felt even more bad because she could sympathize with her. Then suddenly, a thought crossed her mind, causing her eyes to light up. Then, she became hesitant

…

As Lily waited for him to speak, Max gathered his thoughts and said, "You remember how I was unable to even sense mana just half a year ago?"

Lily nodded and he continued, "You should also know only those who don\'t have a dantian are unable to perceive mana. Of course, excluding some special cases."

Just as Lily was about to nod, she recalled the time when she read about the dantians on the Ice Sovereign Mountain. At that time, she had wondered whether he belonged to the latter category or the former.

Now, hearing him mention these two things one after another, her eyes widened in surprise. "Young master… you don\'t mean…"

Max let out a sigh as he nodded. "That\'s right. I didn\'t have a dantian."

"I\'m sure Father, mothers, Emily, Anna and after finding out about the dantians, you also… no, not you. You must have thought I was one of those special cases, right?"

Max chuckled when he saw her blush in embarrassment before continuing.

"I was saying, after I was suddenly able to sense mana and became a mage, you all must have guessed that I had some fortunate encounter that \'cured\' me."

Lily nodded. Although half a year ago she didn\'t know why he was unable to sense mana, she had also guessed he must have had a fortunate encounter. At that time, she had only felt happy and didn\'t care about anything else. But now she realized he didn\'t have a dantian, she broke out in cold sweat.

Max could tell what she was worrying about.

Since a dantian was something metaphysical and very few things were capable of affecting it, it could be easily imagined how extraordinary the fortunate encounter he had had to be for it to be able to grant him a new dantian.

It wouldn\'t be an understatement to say that Monarchs and even Supreme Mages would fight for it.

Max had only realized this after he joined the Cloud Academy and read information on the dantians. At that time, he had felt very lucky to be transmigrated into such a wonderful family.

If he had transmigrated into any other family, he was fairly positive that family wouldn\'t have acted the same. They would have enquired about his encounter and would ask him to share it with them. If he had not, they might have used extreme measures and his life might\'ve become a living hell, unlike now..

Of course, he was a bit extreme in thinking like this… there would definitely be other families who love their children the same and would be selfless enough to not covet his fortune.

Still, this didn\'t stop him from becoming grateful to the Garfields. This was also why–in addition to the fact that Original\'s memories were affecting him–he truly started treating them as his family.

\'I truly overestimated my intelligence and underestimated theirs.\' He thought self-deprecatingly. \'I wouldn\'t even be too surprised if Ashton had already realized I\'m no longer his son. Though I truly hope he did not.\' n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Young master… if that\'s the case, you should be careful. Although Master Ashton had controlled the information about you not being able to sense mana, some should already know it. Once they find out you have become a mage and have progressed so much in just a little more than half a year… things will become very dangerous." Lily worriedly said,

Max grabbed her hand, and chuckled, "Don\'t worry. No one had come to bother me about this until now. Besides, things are already very dangerous."

"What do you mean?" She asked,

"You\'ll know once I\'m done telling you everything."

Max continued. "You guys weren\'t wrong. I truly had a fortunate encounter…"

He told her about the system and with that, Lily became the first person to know the truth.

"...No wonder you started improving so fast once we started doing that." Lily muttered in realization.

She felt warm and fuzzy inside, realizing he trusted and loved her enough to share such a big secret with her. At the same time, she became worried.

"Young master, how many know about this?" She asked,

"About the system? Just you. Anna, and Emily though, know that I can become stronger by having sex."

Hearing this, Lily sighed and said, "Young master, you shouldn\'t have told me about it either. The more people know about it, the more in danger you\'ll be."
