Chapter 89: Integrity

"As I have heard a lot about the woman from that room, I was truly impressed by her beauty and wanted to capture her in my painting if all the rumors I heard were right. However, since the place was already occupied by someone before I arrived, young master, so I went to the other room instead," Aur said with a bow.

"Hmm," Jackson's face morphed into a frown while looking at Leo for explanation.

"No, the young master don't believe him, I... I..." Leo gritted his teeth.

Jackson remained silent as he looked at the brush in Aur's hand and the woman who was hiding behind the blanket with a scared expression on her face.

She tentatively looked through the semi see through blanket with terror reflecting on her face, like a scared bunny her previous arrogant expression was long gone.

This made a smile appear on his face as he almost mechanically turned his head towards Leo and Anne.

"So do the two of you have any excuses to make?" Jackson spoke with a smile on his face. However, the smile on Jackson's face looked like a devil's smile to both of them.

"But... but..." Leo wanted to refute; however, no words came to his mind, and his expression turned even more horrified.

Anne was the same as well, with her expression morphing into pure terror as the realisation sank in.

"I didn't actually care about your guys' plot. After all, you didn't disrupt me in any way, and if you didn't lay a hand on my woman, Sophia, but now?" Jackson looked at them with narrowed eyes, reflecting deep killing intent.

The two's expressions turned even more horrified upon seeing this, as they both knew they had really messed up this time.

"But since Aur didn't even come to the room, he wasn't the one who did that to my woman, Sophia, so the only one who would do such a thing is..." Jackson's eyes narrowed to a slit, focusing on Leo, revealing a domineering pressure that made him freeze.

"Do you have any last words to say?" he spoke in a cold, chilling tone filled with the intent to kill Leo right here and now.

"No... no, you can't kill me," Leo spoke with tears and snot that filled his face, his eyes revealing a deep terror of death.

"Then tell me, what makes you think that I can't kill you?" Jackson asked with some amusement in his tone.

"Think, Leo, think... think... think..." a disgusting smell emanated from him as the fear of his broke out in his pants, wetting the entire floor in the process.

Anne hurriedly scurried to the side with a disgusted expression while pinching her nose.

The woman shivered in bed while hiding underneath the blanket of the bed, silently not daring to utter a single word, and the kimono woman sighed bitterly.

"I have thoroughly offended this young man..." Her eyes glinted with pity as she looked at Aur.

"I am wondering what this brother is doing," Jackson suddenly broke the strange silence with a smile.

"Hmm," Aur frowned as he looked at the royal-clothed person in front of him.

Jackson had green hair, with his hair combed to perfection, and his royal golden robe shined with an air of authority.

Just his clothes emitted a terrifying pressure that could intimidate with just a look.

Aur recognized the robes; they were wizard's robes just like his, but far more advanced.

Not only did they emit a terrifying pressure, but they also exuded an intimidating aura. Aur was sure these were tier one mage robes, far superior to his own, which could barely be considered mage apprentice robes.

The defense it provided would undoubtedly be at least a thousand times better than his own.

"So this is the difference between landlords and an average family," Aur thought bitterly.

"Umm, Brother Aur?" Jackson looked at Aur with an awkward gaze.

"Yeah, this is one of the greatest paintings I have ever made," Aur nodded his head with a proud expression.

"Now I am really curious. Would you care to show us, Brother Aur?" Jackson asked with a curious expression.

"Well," Aur had a thoughtful expression, "no, this will ruin the integrity of the woman in the bed." He pointed at the woman hidden behind the blanket with a sincere expression.

Everyone looked at Aur with stunned gazes, even the woman who was hidden underneath the blanket was stunned beyond belief.

"Why did you draw my naked body in the first place if you were so concerned with breaking my integrity?" She mumbled with a strange expression, unsure whether to be happy or cry about it.

Jackson looked at Aur with a strange expression on his face. "Brother Aur, I hope you fulfill my curiosity. Why did you even draw her then?"

"To earn money, of course," Aur spoke nonchalantly.
