602 I Feel...
Upon hearing this, Ray realized she was indeed right. Max would become the target of everyone who saw him use his bloodline energy. A power that can boost a person's strength enough that he could fight someone a whole realm above him was irresistible, after all.
"You are right, but there is no need to worry about it too much. The fact that all of them may target us makes not too much difference to us than if only Arasia and the Dalton family targeted us. We just need to be alert and leave the city as soon as possible."
"But what will we do if we can't escape them?" Ray asked even though he already knew the answer to this question.
And sure enough, Emily answered after a moment, her eyes flashing coldly, "We'll kill them until they drop the idea about Max."
Ray very much wanted to say 'How are we going to do it?', but remembering how strong Max seemed to have become, he kept quiet.
Soon after, he left Emily's room with Shasha, leaving Emily to recuperate. Shasha noticed he seemed a little anxious, and couldn't help but ask, "Regretting your decision?"
"Huh?" Ray looked at him in confusion.
"I said, are you already regretting not leaving when you had the chance?" Shasha repeated with a small smile of her thin lips.
Contrary to what she expected, Ray shook his head, "No. I'm not regretting anything. I'm just a little worried because the number of our enemies is increasing too quickly. If Max had a few more months, we wouldn't have to leave the city to avoid them."
Shasha couldn't help but be surprised upon hearing this, "Oh? You believe he would be able to resist all these human noble families in a few months' time?"
"Yes, I do."
"Why?"
"Hm?" Feeling this, he couldn't help but frown. 'It hasn't even been a day since I did it, why am I feeling this again?'
Soon after, he realized the most likely reason.
Although his bodily needs were 'sated' after he had sex with Claire in the auction house, and normally, he wouldn't have needed to do it again in a short time, but this was under the condition he didn't use up his bloodline energy, which he had, not one but multiple times.
Though after unlocking the bloodline lock, he could recover the bloodline energy with Mana stones too, it didn't 'satisfy' his body or rather his bloodline.
'Now this is a problem...' He frowned.
Due to the threat of the Royal, Dalton and four great families, they had to leave the city as soon as possible. Although Lily wasn't in any imminent danger, and maybe would wake up soon, she couldn't accompany them to the battlefield with her Mana core damaged. Therefore, he had to heal her completely, but if he recovered his bloodline energy with mana stones once more, his Lust would most likely grow out of his control.
"Well, I'll have to risk it."
He muttered before he sat down and started absorbing the mana from the rest of the mana stones while hoping he wouldn't completely lose his rationality due to lust before leaving the city. Once they were out of the city, they could just stop somewhere for a while where he could take Lily's help to relieve his lust.
Less than half an hour later, he finished recovering his bloodline energy. His expression, however, was ugly because things didn't go as he wished. His increasing lust seemed to have a negative effect on the speed of mana absorption and recovery of the bloodline energy, but after recovering it, his lust seemed to have increased a little more.
However, this wasn't why he was unhappy...
'At this rate, wouldn't my lust go out of control after I completely use up the bloodline energy this time?' He thought, 'This wouldn't do, I need to find some way to prevent this as soon as possible.'
Although he thought this, he had a feeling that preventing this phenomenon was almost impossible, at least at his current stage...
