Chapter 90

Seeing Lilian and Ramis, who were mere mages that can't even lift a sword, shrinking into a ball in fear, Everly felt sour in her heart. She pulled on Lennox's sleeve, saying with pleading eyes.

" don't act scary. Lala and Ramis are good people. Zahid is good, very old gramps Bo is also good "

Seeing her like that, Lennox had no choice but to calm down. He disheartedly withdrew his pheromones and sighed inwardly.

' Someone needs to teach this brat some new vocabulary '

Now that the tension cleared up, the few elves in the room breathed out. Zahid looked at Lennox with cautions, he was clearly a human, yet, able to push them into a corner with only an aura pressure.

How could that be?

As a magic tower master, Zahid could be said to be one of the outstanding new-generation leaders. His skills in both martial and magic aspects are evenly matched with the experts in this field. Zahid and his other martial brothers were thoroughly taught (beaten) by Bernard to resist such sham pheromones.

However, when facing this human, forget about resisting, Zahid couldn't even breathe.

Zahid had only encountered individuals who create fake pheromones illusions, he thought that all pheromones were spells used to scam people into obeying them. However, what he doesn't know is that real pheromones are actually a sign of superiority. No matter how strong one is, as long as they are breathing, they are bound to submit to the natural sovereign.

After experiencing such pressure from a human, Zahid had his doubts about what kind of monster in front of him. He was yet to say anything when head master Borraig spoke first.

" it seems that we have displeased your excellency, please forgive our ignorance "

Lennox leaned his back on the couch, waving his hand as he said nonchalantly.

" I am keeping you for the sake of this brat, however..." his tone suddenly turned serious with a cold light flashing in his pitch-black eyes, " if I ever heard someone brings up a mention of Rakshata's manuals in front of this punk, then pray you die before I reach you "

That was a direct threat. Zahid couldn't stand seeing an elder from his clan being openly threatened. He pushed aside the lingering fear and said firmly.

" Young master, Rakshata's manuals are well sought-after knowledge treasures. I am afraid everyone who had ever heard of it, is searching for these manuals. Are you intending to stop every single one of them? "

" naturally "

Seeing Lennox immediately answering with confidence, Zahid couldn't help but exclaim in frustration. Why would someone unreasonably want to block benefits from people?!!!

"But why?!!! "

" Why? ", Lennox said with a smile, his tone held a trace of mockery, " brat, there are things that must not be disclosed no matter what. Plus, do you think Rakshata would release such ticking bombs if he wasn't fooled by that sly fox? "

The room became heavy. Everly who couldn't process anything that was said here panicked as she tried to ease the tension.

" no fighting, let's get along– Lennox don't be bad "

As expected, it didn't work.

Zahid was yet to say anything in response when head master Borraig spoke again.

" Why does it seem to me that your excellency had personally met the esteemed Rakshata "

Personally met? Is this a joke??

Of course he did! That's his damn father, okay!!

Lennox's mood dropped down again. If this continued, he might start beating her brother's people!

Everly's hands were everywhere as she squeezed her little brain to find a way to soothe things a bit. Luckily, there still was that mana crystal she got from her second brother!

She quickly took a palm-sized pink box out of her spacial bag, placed it on the small table in front of her and stood off her seat.

" This is a bribe Maitea brought to not tell brother Ba. Also, Maitea is a good girl so she will take trouble with her "

"...." ×5

Why say it so casually?

And who is trouble? Lennox??

As soon as she said that, Everly grabbed Lennox's hand and rushed out of the tower.

******

" hmm.....why is my baby girl in the Forest-Elves' village? Did she run away again? "

Bernard looked at the floating screen in front of him that displayed a map with a moving target on it.

" master, are you stalking your sister again? "

A young man emerged from the side room of the chairman office. His figure was perfectly sculpted with tall structure, wide shoulders and slender waist. Although his face wasn't extremely handsome, it was still decent and gentle along with his round shiny eyes that had its own charm.

He held a mountain of documents and brought them on the desk. William rested his arm on the pile of papers as he looked at Bernard with a suspicious gaze.

" Those dumb dwarves shouldn't have given this magic tool. You are shamelessly using it for immoral purposes! "

" what do you mean immoral?!! Is worrying about my baby sister counts as immoral and shameless? "

William scoffed at Bernard's reason. He waved his hand, helplessly sighing.

" Poor little martial aunt, to have two brothers who suffer from a beyond-saving sister complex- ah, such a pity "

Bernard formed a smile that didn't reach his eyes. He looked at his youngest disciple from behind his glasses, which he started wearing not long ago, saying a bit impatiently.

" So why did you bring these papers back, Will? "

" What do you mean back? These are new ones that need be done "

Bernard's handsome face paled like a ghost. He has been doing all the paperwork restlessly for an entire week, and there is more! Bernard asked in a miserable voice.

" Why is there so much useless work to do? I want to go back, I want to see my little Ma "

William rolled his eyes at the drama he has seen countless times.

" master, I have already done half of them when you were away, you should be thankful to have such a wonderful disciple.... I expect a raise in my salary "

"....."
