Max nodded toward her, feeling a little grateful.
He then glanced at Belen, who smiled and said, "My thoughts completely align with Rima's."
"Mm." Max nodded. He felt a little guilty toward her in his heart because he hadn't been able to spend the time with her ever since the outing.
He then turned his gaze toward Leticia. Unlike Rima and Belen, she wore an anxious expression, nibbling on her lips so hard that blood was starting to pour out.
Sigh!
Max let out a sigh in his heart. He knew why she was acting this way. It was not because she couldn't accept that he had more women in his harem, but because she thought he wouldn't value her anymore if he had many women.
He extended his hand, grabbed her, and pulled her into his embrace.
Mm~
Leticia was taken aback. After a moment, she let go of her body and limply lay against his chest. Feeling his warmth, her anxiousness slowly faded away and a radiant smile appeared on his face.
"I also don't mind if you have another woman. But please don't forget me, okay?" Leticia murmured lowly.
Max tightened his grasp on her body and softly said, "Don't worry. I will never forget you. You'll hold the same important part in my heart."
Max didn't only say this for the sake of saying but he meant these words. He could clearly see how much she loved him. So how could he forget her for another woman? He wasn't someone like that.
"Mm, thank you." Leticia smiled and moved out of his embrace.
Rima and Belen encouragingly nodded toward her.
…
After everyone calmed down, Max stood up and asked with a smile, "I'm going to the market to buy some things, would anyone of you want to come with me or are you going to cultivate?"
"I'll go with you." All three ladies said at the same time.
"Let's go then." Max smiled wryly and walked out. By asking that whether they wanted to accompany him or stay in their rooms and cultivate, he was hinting that if any of them wanted to cultivate, they could.
"Big brother, where are you guys going?" Just as they walked out of the guest area, little Arya came running toward them. Two servant girls were following her, drops of perspiration on their foreheads.
Seeing Max and the group, they hastily bowed in greeting, "Greetings, honoured guests."
Max nodded toward them. He then looked at little Arya and smiled, "To the market. Want to tag along?"
"Of course. I will come." Little Arya nodded before turning to the servant girls, "Big sisters, you don't need to follow me. I'm going with my big brother and big sisters."
"This…" The servant girls looked at each other, not sure what to do.
Little Arya didn't wait. She turned around and jovially skipped toward the exit of the manor, "Let's go, big brother."
After Max and others disappeared from their sight, the servant girls snapped out of their daze. "Hurry, let's inform lord Raku."
…
Under little Arya's lead, the group arrived at the market or, more precisely, the sweet shop.
Max didn't mind this and bought some sweets. He also enjoyed eating them.
"Max, what do you want to buy?" Rima curiously asked after they finished eating the sweets.
"The communication crystals and a flying pet." Max replied.
"What a coincidence, sir Max. You are also here."
Just as they were about to depart from the sweets shop, a melodious voice sounded and stopped them in their tracks.
When they turned toward the source of the voice, they saw Janice walking toward them with a smile on her face.
Leticia and Rima creased their brows when they saw her. Max also squinted slightly. For some reason, he didn't have a good feeling about her and didn't want to interact with her too much.
However, as they say, a gentleman doesn't slap a smiling face. He nodded at her in greeting and said, "Is miss Janice here for the sweets too?"
"Hehe… Yes, sir Max. I like the sweets from this shop. I hope you don't find that childish." Janice put on an embarrassed expression as she blinked her limpid at him.
"Tch, what a hypocrite!" Leticia grumbled.
Although Rima and Belen didn't say anything, they looked at her in contempt. As women, they could see she was putting on an act of a gentle and refined lady.
As a peak two-star mage, Janice's hearing was better than normal people and coupled with the fact that Leticia didn't keep her voice down, she clearly heard her. However, she acted as if she didn't hear anything and her smiling expression remained the same.
Unlike her, the old woman following behind her showed signs of anger, but seeing that Janice didn't say anything, she controlled herself.
Max's expression became slightly awkward. However, seeing that Janice didn't seem to mind it, he didn't say anything.
"No, there is nothing childish about it." He smiled lightly and then said, "Okay, miss Janice, please enjoy yourself. We need to be somewhere else right now"
He didn't wait for her response and walked away with Leticia and others following him.
As Janice watched them disappear into the crowd, her smile vanished and her expression grew frosty. A vicious glint flashed in her eyes and she exuded a murderous aura.
The old woman wasn't surprised by her reaction. Given her proud and narcistic personality, after receiving a cold treatment, there was no way she wouldn't feel offended, not to mention Leticia called her a hypocrite.
After being silent for a while, Janice calmed down and said, "Elder, there is a slight change in the plan…"
…
In his inn room, Jack was in bed with two naked Elvin women. One was feeding his grapes, and the other one was sucking on his crotch.
"Hm?" Suddenly, he raised his brows and sat up.
He then took out his communication crystal and injected some Mana into it.
A moment later, his expression turned unsightly, and he growled in anger, "This bitch… I'll make you regret it."
Bang!
He threw away the communication crystal, grabbed one of the women, turned her around and started pounding her crazily, venting his frustration.
