nDeciding that this is enough, Rezen retrieved a particular soybean from his void storage ring

n“W-wait! What is with that ugly skull?! Are you planning to poison or curse me?” Macy asked fearfully. Whatever sorcery that Rezen uses forces a mage as strong as her to be at his mercy

nNaturally, anything that Rezen would take out would freak her out, especially if that thing is a skull

n“Hey, you bitch, how can you be this rude? What ugly skull? This is a soybean! A soybean! How dare you use the word ‘ugly’ to describe something that I planted personally? Are you tired of living?” Rezen questioned, his tone dark while he raised his fist

nIf this bitch dares to insult his crops again, he would definitely teach her a lesson with his fist

nWho cares if they are a man, woman, or non-binary, if they piss off Rezen by insulting his crops, he would give them a taste of hell

nMacy wanted to say ‘How is that skull a soybean?’ but she just kept her mouth shut while sobbing inside her

nShe just wanted to prove to everyone that she’s not a spoiled brat that only became a 6th fusion rank mage because of all the resources her father provided. Macy didn’t expect that she would suffer this much

nWho dared to speak that way to her knowing that she is Daydream’s only princess?

n“I’m sorry…” Macy said pitifully

nRezen didn’t expect that he would use his mutated soybean this early but if it is used against Macy then it was more than worth it

nSince Macy is the daughter of Daydream’s chairman, just how much money does she have?

nRezen will make sure to milk her for life with the help of his soybean

n“Hehehehe…” Rezen can’t help but laugh evilly. He can already imagine himself rolling on a bed of mana stones when…

n“Rezen?”

nAll the hair on Rezen’s body stood up after hearing that voice. That is the voice of a person that he would never forget

nThe voice of the most good-looking person he has ever seen in his life

n“B-bro—” before Rezen can even finish calling his ‘Brother Claude’, the woman that was originally trembling in fear trembled for another reason

n“Kyaahh! C-Claude Preston?!” Macy exclaimed in surprise causing Rezen to shoot her a look

n“What the hell… I can see hearts on her eyes …” Rezen thought and his rage flared

nHow dare this bitch squeal after seeing Claude? Is Rezen’s brother Claude someone that she deserves after the ‘horrible’ things she did?

nWith a raging heart, Rezen activated his acting skills. He sneakily pinches his thigh hard enough for him to shed tears

n“B-Brother Claude! Huhuhu!” Rezen came running to Claude that was surprised by his action

nThe Captain just finished emerging from the shadow on the ground when Rezen pounced and hugged him

n“W-what’s going on …” Claude asks, flustered. He had never been this close to someone and being hugged like this feels kind of awkward

n“B-brother Claude huhuhu… save me! T-that girl, that girl wants to harm me and my Master!” Rezen cried out and Macy’s jaws almost fell to the ground

nShe is not that cruel!

nAt most, she would force Rezen’s master to have an exclusive contract with her or force them to spill their secrets and in return, she would pay them handsomely

nMacy absolutely didn’t plan on hurting or killing Rezen and his Master. What is that brat spouting?

nNot to mention, he was even saying such bull** in front of Claude!

nThat’s Claude Preston! He is the dream guy of girls, gays, pansexuals, or whatever!

nHe is a talented and kind mage. There is almost no one that doesn’t want to be with him!

nMacy is included on the list of girls that are infatuated with Claude and she doesn’t want her image to be tarnished in front of him

n“W-wait!” Macy wanted to explain herself but how can Rezen let her do that?

n“Huhuhu, Brother Claude, that g-girl wants to force the l-location of my m-master out from me t-to g-get his secrets! She p-planned k-killing me and my master!”

n“Huh when did I—”

n“L-look, I even t-took out poison t-to k-keep my M-Master s-safe! Huhuhu!”

nRezen raised the mutated soybean in his hand and no matter who looks at it, they wouldn’t think that it was something good

n“You told me that was a soybean!”

n“What soybean can look this ugly and sinister?!”

n“Y-you …!”

nWho was the one that became furious all because Macy called the skull ugly again?!

n“Huhuhu Brother Claude… you know my spirit plants, right? That girl wants all of them to herself! She even planned on torturing me! To think that I took the effort to feed my guest!” Rezen continue to cry and Macy felt something snap inside her

nHer eyes reflected her rage and she was about to summon her mystic gem but she suddenly stops herself

nAside from her and Florine, another 6th fusion rank mage is hiding nearby. And from what it looks like, that hiding mage is stronger than Macy

nClaude Preston… with his talent and reputation and how much importance the Preston Family put on him, it’s not too surprising if even a 6th fusion rank has become his guard

nAs such, Macy was forced to calm down while Claude was also trying to keep his calm

nThe thing he hated the most is the strong bullying the weak. As a result, the way he looked at Macy was extremely unfriendly

n“W-wait! N-no! I-I admit I want their secret b-but it’s not to the point that I will hurt them!” Macy explained but that is not enough to clear Claude’s doubt and he turned to Florine

n“Miss Fairy of the Forest, may I know what exactly happened here?” Claude asks but his tone was as if the gates of hell would open if Florine were to lie

nClaude until now is still a 5th fusion rank mage. Normally, all mages at his level would only be respectful to 6th fusion rank mages

nThe difference between the two ranks was too great. However, Claude has his principles and he is also aware of his position and his guard’s existence

nAs such, there is no need for him to be afraid of these two women

nFlorine was keeping her mouth shut for a long time. She was thinking of what she should do when Claude asked her that question

nShe was still blind seconds ago but after Claude asked her a question, her vision returned

nThe first thing that she had seen was Rezen that was behind Claude

nThe easygoing look that Rezen always has was nowhere to be seen today. His lips were curled up in a threatening smile

nHe even made a slicing motion on his throat as a warning and naturally, Florine knew what Rezen wants

nRezen wants her to agree, if not then…

nRemembering how she loses control of her body in a bizarre way along with Rezen’s master, spirit plants, and Rezen’s improvements…

n“M-Macy was indeed in the wrong here…” Florine answered

nShe doesn’t know how deep the ability of Rezen and the person behind him but Claude is here

nThe Preston Family definitely wouldn’t lose out on Daydream. The combination of Rezen’s mystery and Claude’s background made her choose them

nHowever, Florine also doesn’t want to have a complete fallout with Macy and possibly the Daydream itself

nAs such, she can only answer vaguely. She admitted that Macy was in the wrong but she didn’t confirm that Rezen was lying

nHowever, to Claude that is biased toward the weak, Florine’s words were akin to a confirmation

nIn his eyes, Macy is ‘indeed’ planning to do those cruel things

n“Miss Macy, I know that you are the beloved daughter of the Daydream’s Chairman but even you cannot do something like this” Claude said in a dark tone. His voice devoid of any warmth

n“I-I was being s-slandered!” Macy insisted. She felt really wronged!

nUnfortunately, her denial just made Claude angrier

n“Is it that hard to admit that you are in the wrong?”

n“I-I wasn’t! I-I mean, I am but not to that extent!”

nClaude’s temper flared as he stomped his feet on the ground

n“Hey, bitch, are you going to apologize or should I publicize what happened today? I wonder how this incident would affect you and your family’s company” Claude spoke like a thug but with his face and tone, it still looks cool on him

n“His reputation didn’t lie. A Saint to the weak and oppressed but a frightening and merciless demon to the oppressors” Florine thought in her head

nSince Claude is still in his twenties, he was considered to be the most talented mage in the younger generation of the Eastern Country

nReaching the 6th rank is viewed as a given to him. And people think that even the legendary 7th rank is a rank that he can reach
