Chapter 633 Emily's Rage

Lily looked at Max, wondering what she meant by that. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Obviously, he hadn't thought this was important so he hadn't told her about Mike's first condition to her.

Emily, who had seemed uninterested in everything until now, looked at Pauline up and down before closing her eyes, her expression softening just a little.

Not knowing how to answer, Max gave Pauline an awkward look while cursing Mike.

'Damned old man, was there a need to tell her about this?'

Seeing he wasn't willing to say anything, Pauline shifted her gaze to Sera and sneered, "You knew her before? Did my old man really think I would really believe that?"

Seeing how she seemed to be angry about it, Max realized something.

'Mike definitely knows of his daughter's temper. Since she was left in charge of helping us leave the city, he wouldn't tell her about my rejection as it would create tension between us... unless he wanted that.'

He shook his head, 'But I doubt that's the case.'

'Then it could only mean someone else told her or she already knew Mike would ask me to marry her in exchange for helping us. Only if I rejected this offer, would he give me the alternate deal.'

Max wanted to rub his temples. 'Why did you put her in charge when you knew she was aware of my rejection?'

Pauline, unaware and uncaring of his thoughts, looked at Lily, Claire and Emily before scoffing, "Still, it's a good thing you didn't agree. Seeing how much of a womanizer, and pervert you are, I would have been the one to reject you."

While Max didn't mind her words, the ladies' furrowed their brows, including Emily.

Lily, with an expressionless look on her face, said in a glacial tone, "Miss Pauline, I understand your ego is wounded because he rejected you. But I request you to mind your words and speak with some respect."

"Oh?" Pauline looked at Lily in surprise, "You don't agree he is a womanizer and pervert?"

Emily glared at him for a few moments before she harrumphed, and dispersed her mana. Then, she pulled her hand out of his grip and directly walked out of the hall.

"Tsk! Tsk! She is a feisty one, hm? Your tastes are really varied." Pauline smirked as she watched her leave.

Lily also rose to her feet, turned around and left. Claire glanced at Sera before she also left. After that, Ray, Shasha, Little Ruo's duo and in the end, Shasha also walked out.

After they left, Max placed a hand on Pauline's shoulder, and said in an incomparably calm voice, "Miss Pauline, it would be for the best if you didn't try to provoke us."

"Oh? Why is that?" Pauline asked, her voice indifferent.

"Because..."

Crack!

As he said the first word, he pressed down his hand, causing her shoulder bone to crack.

While Pauline winched in pain, he continued.

"...If you do that, I'll get angry. And if I get angry, unless you have King Mages as bodyguards, you might die."

Saying this, he removed his hand from her shoulder, and glanced behind her, "You can ask her whether what I said is true or not."

"Huh?" Pauline forgot the pain and humiliation for a second when she heard him, a bad feeling arising in her heart.

She hurriedly looked back and saw her bodyguard, a mid-stage Five Star Mage lying on the ground, blood flowing down her lips.

Her eyes widening, she shouted in worry, "Aunt Su!!".

"Don't worry, she is alright. Those are some minor injuries." Max's indifferent voice sounded in her ears, but she ignored it and rushed over to her.

"Cough! He is right, Little Paul. I'm alright." Aunt Su coughed as she slowly sat up.

She then looked at Max and lightly bowed her head toward him, a hint of fear deep in her eyes, "I apologize on her behalf. Please forgive her. She had no ill intent behind her words and was just fooling around with you all."
