Strongest Mage with the Lust system
chapter-579

"Please stop! Don't hit my grandpa!" The young girl cried, while trying to rush toward the old man on the ground. But each time she tried, someone would slap her away. Her little face was already bruised and swollen while a trickle of blood flowed down from the corner of her lips.

The old man was very weak and skinny. Under the goons' merciless kicks, he was already coughing out the blood and seemed to be on the verge of death.

"Aren't these guys from the Ming family? Why are they beating this pitiful old man?" Someone asked.

"Who knows? When I arrived they were already beating him."

"I know! This old man and this little girl are somehow related to the Ming family. They wanted to take refuge with them, but the Ming family's young master kicked them out and ordered them to kill the old man and throw the girl out of the city."

"That evil bastard? He is too cold blooded."

"Shhh! Keep your voice down if you don't want to die like this old man."

…

A muscular man, who seemed to be the leader of the goons, frowned when he heard the crowd's murmurs, and shouted at his subordinates, "Stop wasting time. Just kill him."

"Yes, sir." The goons nodded before one of them raised his leg to stomp on the old man's head. "NOOO! Please don't!!' The girl cried in despair. The old man raised his head to look at her. He wanted to speak but no voice came out, so he mouthed the words 'Little Rou, close your eyes.' After that, he closed his eyes, and waited for his death. Suddenly, everything went silent. He thought he had died, but was sure the goon's leg hadn't landed on his head. 'Maybe he did it too quickly for my brain to register.' He thought, but in the next instant, he heard the goons' angry roars, which made him think otherwise.

"Who are you bastard?!"

"How dare you kill someone from the Ming family?!"

"Kill him!"

Everyone was staring at the sky blue haired young man, who suddenly arrived in front of the old man in shock, surprise, pity and excitement. They were surprised to see someone intervene in Ming family's affairs, and were shocked because of the strength he revealed. As soon as he appeared, the goon who was about to kill the old man had died from a finger-sized hole in his forehead. They felt pity because they knew now that he had killed someone of the Ming family, he was sure to suffer. But, one thing was for sure, they were going to watch a drama unfold, which filled them with excitement.

Max ignored everyone, and crouched down in front of the old man. The old man opened his eyes. When he saw Max, he looked confused for a moment before recognising him, "You are–"

"Let's talk later. First, eat these." Max stopped him from speaking lest he aggravated his wounds and fed him two grade one healing pills.

The goons raged when they saw him ignore them but none dared to attack him after seeing how effortlessly he killed their companion. Even their leader didn't dare to move.

The young girl was stunned by this sudden turn of events. But a moment later, she became happy and rushed over to her grandpa. No one stopped her this time.

"Are you alright, grandpa?" She anxiously hugged the old man, tears falling down her eyes.

"Cough! I'm fine, little Rou." The old man coughed and smiled gently at his granddaughter, before pointing at Max, "Look who saved me."

Only after she heard him say this that she turned around and took a good look at their savior. Unlike the old man who took a moment to recognise Max, she immediately recognised him, and kowtowed to him, "Thank you so much, young master for saving my grandpa. Really, thank you so much."

Max smiled and stopped her before her head could touch the ground, and said, "It's alright. How about you tell me what's going on, why are they trying to kill you guys?" Although he had heard the crowds' discussion, he wanted to know the whole story.

However, before little Rou could say anything, an angry shout resounded, "Who are you, bastard!? How dare you interfere in my family's internal affairs?"

Crowd parted to the side to reveal an arrogant looking young man in dark green robes and four fierce looking people behind him.

"Greetings, young master Ming!"

Several people in the crowd stepped forward and greeted him with respectful expressions on their faces but the young master Ming just snorted in disdain and ignored them, his arrogant gaze fixed on Max.

Max squinted his eyes when he saw the dark green robed man and felt a surge of anger in his heart. Why…

Swoosh!

Just as the young master walked over and was about to say something, Max stood up and suddenly vanished from their sight.

"Not good!" The expressions of four people behind the young master Ming changed, but by the time they reacted, Max had already appeared before the young master Ming. Then,

Pa!

The crisp sound of a slap resounded.

The crowd, the goons who were feeling relieved upon seeing their backer arrive, the four people behind the young master Ming, and even he, himself, was dumbfounded. What just happened?

Did this blue haired youth just slap him? The young master Ming?

"Y-You… you slapped me?" Young master Ming asked with a look of disbelief on his face as he touched his left, already swollen cheek.

"Yeah, is it too difficult to believe?" Max asked as he looked at him in disgust.

"You… why?" Young master Ming asked, still stunned. "Because I don't like the arrogant look on your face. It irritates me. Also, you dared to kill little Rou and her Grandfather. You really deserve to die."

Pa!

Even before he said the word 'die', he had thrown another slap, this time on his right cheek.

Everyone flinched at this, and had one thought in their minds, How daring? And also, Now he is really doomed to die.

Although the Ming family wasn't a top family in the capital city since it was residing in the outer city, it was still a behemoth to the masses. Not to mention the other forces in the outer city that had to be extremely careful of them, even the stronger forces in the inner city didn't dare to carelessly offend them, not only because the Ming family head was a four-star mage, and several of their Elders were three-star mages, and the number of two-star and one-star mages easily crossed hundreds, but also because they were rumored to have a connection with the Royal family.

Until now, almost everyone who had dared to offend the Ming family was completely annihilated. That was why, even though they could see Max was a strong mage, they still believed he would die.

Durden, Emily and others had arrived and were casually standing amidst the crowd, hearing their discussion and watching Max slap the arrogant prick's face into a pig head.

"Hey, sister Shasha, lady Emily, should we also join in and have some fun?" Ray asked excitedly, rubbing his hands.
