As Death Energy surged out from Max's dantian and into his mana veins, the man suddenly felt a sense of danger arise in his heart, which doused his burning killing intent and made him frown.
He didn't want to believe he felt this premonition because of Max, but since it was already established Max was no ordinary mage, he had no choice but to believe it.
He gritted his teeth and hesitated whether to disregard the premonition or not.
In the end, he took a deep breath, and even as his expression turned ugly and his mind cried at him to kill Max lest he beco a problem in the future, he decided to stay his hand—he didn't want to be seriously injured or, worse, die while trying to prevent a future problem; it wasn't worth it.
Surprise flickered in Max's eyes when he felt his opponent's killing intent recede like a tide.
'What an extraordinary sense of danger!' He exclaid in his heart. After thinking for a mont, he decided to suppress his rage for him and returned the Death Energy back to his dantian.
If he could avoid exposing it, even if he had to compromise on taking his revenge for him attacking him imdiately, he would.
Besides, he had already killed the main culprits who originally incited his killing intent.
The man sighed in his heart when he felt the sense of danger disappear. He then thought for a mont and swept his gaze across the crowd.
When he noticed the man who Ryder and his companion had thrown out lying against the wall of a nearby building, looking listless, he waved his hand and sent a hundred high-grade mana stones flying toward him.
"Your three days' pay is 45 high-grade mana stones. The extra 55 is for the injustice you faced and for your injuries."
The man's listless eyes brightened when he heard him and saw the mana stones flying toward him. Quickly jumping to his feet, he grabbed them and stored them in his spatial ring.
After that, he bowed toward the king mage before giving Max a deep bow and said in a voice full of sincerity, "Thank you, young master. I'll never forget the life-saving help you have provided . Thank you so much!"
Max nodded and waved his hand. "It's alright. Now, go and feed your family." He then glanced at the king mage before saying to the man, "I'll be staying in this town for one or two days. If you encounter any problem, co find in the Candle's Inn."
The man gave him another deep bow before leaving the place.
The King Mage watched on expressionlessly as the man left. When he noticed Max had turned his gaze over to him, he took a deep breath and clasped his hand toward him and said, "I'm ashad of my rash behavior just now. I should've tried to find out what was happening before taking action."
Saying this, he took out a pill bottle and threw it toward Max. "Here, take these Grade Six Mana Surge Pills as a token of my apology."
"What? Grade Six Mana Surge Pills?"
Soone in the crowd cried out in surprise, but when the king mage swept a displeased gaze over, he imdiately fell silent, and others who were about to discuss his apology token kept their mouths sealed.
Max looked at the pill bottle curiously. He didn't know what effects these pills had, as it was his first ti hearing of this na, but since they were Grade Six pills, they were clearly worth quite a bit, so his sincerity could be seen from this.
He thought for a mont before looking at him.
"What's your na?" He asked,
The king mage knitted his brows. Shouldn't he just forget about the matter and be on his way since he had already apologised and have given him such an expensive gift? What's the point of asking his na?
After hesitating for a mont, though, he succinctly said, "I'm John."
"Oh? You don't have a family na? That's… sad." Max said, looking at him with a look of pity on his face.
John's expression turned dark, killing intent once again flashing in his eyes. Only the bastard children didn't have a family na, so by saying this, he was insinuating that he, John, was a bastard.
How could he not be angry?
However, since Max seed to possess a trump card strong enough to make him feel dread, and seeing how he was completely unafraid, casually revealing he was going to stay in the town for a few more days, he guessed he had good backing, possibly a few emperors behind him.
So, he drank his rage and said, "Raelion, I'm John Raelion."
"I see," Max nodded. "I accept your apology, Sir Raelion. I just hope your inn no longer treats people of the desolate region any differently. We are all natives of the human continent, after all."
In the crowd, most were from the desolate region and nodded in appreciation upon hearing him.
But then they sighed in their hearts, knowing his words would make no difference because John and everyone else from the central plains were used to looking down on them and thought that they were nothing but savages.
"I understand," John nodded before turning around and entering his inn, his heart afla with fury. Ever since he ca to this town, he had not been so humiliated.
When he entered the inn, he saw many of his employees had strange looks on their faces, which they were trying hard to hide. Imdiately, he had the urge to beat them up, but because there were many guests there, he controlled himself, which made him even more frustrated and angry.
"Send number 3 and 4 to my room." He coldly ordered an employee and entered the room behind the reception desk.
A while later, two girls, dressed in maid uniforms, entered the room, swaying their hips.
Seeing him sitting on the bed with a dark look on his face, they went toward him and knelt on their knees near his legs.
As they moved their hands up his legs, they asked, "What orders do you have, my Lord?"
Slap!
John slapped their hands away and coldly ordered, "I want you to find as much as you can about that bastard. You have until nightfall to report back to ."
"We understand," The girls nodded in unison, stood up, and left the room.
