Chapter 612  The Deal [2]

Immediately after he finished speaking, the flirtatious atmosphere was gone, replaced by a dreadful silence. This…

The sudden change caught him off guard and when he looked up at her, he saw a cold look in her eyes with a well hidden killing intent flickering about.

Though after his fight against Oliver he was not afraid of Five-Star Mages, he didn\'t dare underestimate them either, especially when they were this close to him and he was completely unprepared. Fortunately, it didn\'t seem like she was going to attack him, but still, he raised his guard just in case.

"Elder Riva…" Just when he began speaking, Riva cut him off and said with a chill in her voice, "If you can prove you are really able to help us, not only will I forgive you for the words you just said, I\'ll even let you have a taste of me. But if you aren\'t able to help us, I\'ll kill you."

Max\'s eyes narrowed when he heard. Then he asked in a plain voice, "Are you sure you want to threaten me like this?"

He watched as Riva\'s luscious lips parted and from her expression, he could tell she was going to yes, but she unexpectedly suddenly sealed her mouth shut, turned around and started walking away.

"Come, let me take you to the person you are going to help." Max raised his brows seeing this. He could clearly see she was about to say yes, but stopped at the last moment.

\'Did she get a mental communication or she had a premonition?\' He wondered.

Though the latter would seem like a far fetched possibility, he felt it was the true one. Firstly because she didn\'t show any sign of receiving a mental communication.

If he hadn\'t awakened his Bloodline Sense, he would have thought that she might be just skilled enough to conceal the minute, involuntary reactions a person would show when they hear or see something all of a sudden, but with his Bloodline Sense he was able to sense mental fluctuations and therefore knew she had not received any communication.

As for when and how he found out he could sense mental fluctuations caused by mental communications, it was while they were talking and Mike had received a mental message.

Secondly, because he had decided to punish her later if she said yes. So, being a Five-star mage, she must have had a premonition.

The peak of the Four-star realm wasn\'t casually dubbed as Mortal Boundary. When someone breakthroughs it and steps foot into the Five-star realm, they literally have stepped out of ordinary into extraordinary. They overcome their mortal limits.

They no longer need to consume food and water for sustenance. They don\'t need to sleep and their lifespan becomes several times that of a mortal. Though it differs from person to person, a Five-star mage is usually able to live for over 300 to 500 years. Apart from all these, they also gain Five-star and higher mages\' exclusive ability, their super perception, commonly known as the Soul Sense.

Their Soul Sense is not only a very high leveled version of mana sense, it also gives them much sharper intuition–they are able to feel if something is going to be beneficial, detrimental, risky or dangerous for them.

\'Well, it doesn\'t matter either way since she didn\'t say anything. But she still needs to be taught a lesson for threatening me. Now, how should I punish her?\' He lazily thought. Walking ahead of him, Riva suddenly felt a little uneasy which made her frown.

\'Is what Mike said about his strength really true?\' She wondered. \'It should be, otherwise I would not have such a premonition.\'

The earlier feeling she had was her intuition telling her she would be in danger if she said yes. Many didn\'t believe in their intuition but she did and it had saved her life many times. That was why despite her better mind telling her he was nothing but a harmless kid, she stopped. But now she was feeling humiliated. For one moment, she seemed to have his life in the palm of her hands and then the next one, she was scared away. She, a high-stage Five-star mage, felt scared away? If Max was a King Mage or even a peak Five-star one, she wouldn\'t have felt this way, but he was just a Four-star mage, and one who had broken through recently at that.

A while later, they arrived in front of a room at the core area of the mansion. Suppressing her conflicting feelings, she pushed open the door and entered the room, followed by Max.

Max ignored the luxuriousness of the room as by now he had gotten used to it and focused his attention on the lady laying on the bed. Then, he frowned.

It wasn\'t that she wasn\'t beautiful, she was but the reason he frowned was because she was completely pale and her eyes were murky.

"She seems to have lost all her vitality." He muttered. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Riva heard him and somberly said, "This is the consequence of forging Lifebound Artifacts."

Max didn\'t say anything and just sighed. Before they made the deal, Mike had already told him that whenever they forged a Lifebound Artifact, they would lose some of their lifespan and damage their magic foundation.

He needed to use his bloodline energy to repair or heal the magic foundation of Fullers. When Max heard this, he was astonished.

He knew Mike had seen him fight using his bloodline energy just for a short while but he seemed to have already realized the one of main aspects of his bloodline–nurturing. Then, he thought of something, \'Don\'t tell me others also know this?\'

When he had this thought, his expression turned ugly. Just the fact that his bloodline could enable him to fight across the realm was enough to entice the greed in others\' hearts, if they knew that his bloodline had other extraordinary effects too…

Fortunately for him, Mike had noticed his expression, and told him his worries were unfounded because the only reason he could tell his bloodline had a nurture aspect to it was because his Fuller bloodline, severely weakened due to him forging a few Lifebound Artifacts, cried with joy and longing when he came in contact with the remnants of his bloodline energy.

Only when he heard this did he sigh in relief. But he reminded himself that he should be cautious and should do his best to not reveal his bloodline energy ever again.

After all, if Mike could sense it, there were certainly others who could do the same and he was sure they wouldn\'t be as amiable as him.

Just then, Riva\'s voice pulled him out of his thoughts, "Her name is Sophie. If you can help her recover, we\'ll be able to verify your claims."
