My Muscle System in the Mage World

The woman in the lead chuckled when she saw this. "Little brother, you shouldn’t be weary of us since we are in the same boat. You don’t have to worry."

Aur nodded, and the weariness in his eyes seemed to have disappeared.

Observing this, the woman involuntarily paused slightly before chuckling again.

"I heard you have a companion with you."

"Yes."

"So where is he?"

"He can’t show himself."

"Huh?" the woman paused as she looked at him incredulously.

"Then how can he join us in the rebellion?"

Aur shook his head. "He will only show up in the battle for now. He won’t show up."

"You," a man behind him looked at Aur sternly, "your companion can’t show himself but he can join us. What ridiculous notion is this?"

Aur looked at the person’s face carefully and felt like he resembled someone, but at the same time, he couldn’t particularly tell who the person was, making him quite confused.

"And who are you?"

"I am the head of the Steele family."

"Oh, that brat’s family?" Aur exclaimed in surprise. "He must have your genes, so that makes sense."

"What do you mean?" the head of the Steele landlord asked with a frown on his face.

"Aren’t you the father of William?" Aur said with a sneer.

"Hmph, I don’t have a son," he said coldly, looking at Aur without further comment.

"How interesting," Aur remarked lightly before falling silent.

"Enough. So your companion will only show in battle and not here?" the woman shouted. Discover exclusive tales on NovelBin.Côm

"That’s correct."

"Then fine." She casually tossed a token to him.

"What’s this?" Aur looked at the blank token with a curious expression.

The woman remained silent for a while before speaking. "Drop some blood into it."

Aur’s brow furrowed. "I won’t drop blood into something unknown."

"You…" the head of the Steele family spoke again, angrily. "If you can’t even trust us, then why are you joining?"

"There is a level of trust involved," Aur replied, narrowing his eyes.

"This is the contribution board. As long as you kill the talents of the village of Noah’s and other factions, you will be able to gain numerous resources listed here," the other man spoke this time.

"And you are?" Aur asked curiously.

"I am the head of the Bennett landlord."

"Oh, Bennett family," Aur smiled. "I have some acquaintance with your son."

The Bennett head didn’t speak much, just politely replied with a smile.

The head of the Steele family tightened his fist. "Hmph."

"Alright, we are leaving then," the woman said, turning around and leaving the place. Before she left, she gave Aur another glance while licking her own lips.

The two heads looked at each other before they followed her and left the place.

"Hey Earl, can you introduce me to that woman?"

"You mean the head of the Lynch, once an elder of the north village? You don’t know the head of Lynch?" Earl teased in a mocking tone.

"In the village, she is the most mysterious one, and I can’t seem to find information about her either," Aur replied, unaffected by the mockery.

"Well, I don’t blame you either. She is one of the most mysterious individuals here. I only know that her name is Valerie Lynch and she sucks men dry," Earl said, slightly disappointed not getting any reaction from Aur.

"That’s all?" Aur inquired.

"Yeah, their family is weird overall. All are female, and they are quite seductive and plump too," Earl replied, his eyes flashing with some memory or emotion.

"Unfortunately, the men who have entered their place have never come out, and even the other heads seemed to be faintly scared of her."

At that moment, Aur suddenly remembered the woman he met in the brothel in the outer area.

That woman also seemed to have drained his strength in the process; however, at the same time, he felt his own body was gradually strengthening as well.

There was definitely something fishy about that woman, but at that time, he didn’t linger on it.

"Now that I think about it..." Aur’s eyes narrowed to a slither as he turned around, leaving the place.

"Hey, where are you going?" Earl asked, stunned.

"Something urgent came up," Aur replied leisurely as he rapidly left.

"If we want to contact you, as long as you drop a blood into the emblem, you will be able to reach us," Earl called after him.

He looked at the fleeting figure of Aur and casually shrugged, leaving the place.

This house was not suitable to stay in; the mother and son had already died.

Neighbours would inevitably grow suspicious after a day or two, and there might be an investigation soon. Lingering in such places was not an optimal situation at all.

"Oh well," Earl muttered to himself, and then he too left.

…

Aur quickly traversed through the streets and arrived at a relatively secluded place. During the day, it wasn’t very lively, but at night, it would become the most crowded area in the outer part of the village.

His figure blended seamlessly with the surroundings thanks to the Zephyr Cloak spell, allowing him to enter unnoticed.

The establishment appeared to be an average bar, albeit one where the waitresses wore scanty clothing, their slender waists swaying seductively.

Silently, Aur made his way upstairs, evading the notice of the guards who couldn’t even see him.

They were mere mortals, after all; even a tier one wizard wouldn’t sense him if they couldn’t cast tier one detecting spells.

Soon, he reached a room and could faintly detect the presence of two individuals inside. They appeared to be two women, chatting happily.

Aur silently listened with his heightened senses, easily discerning their conversation.

"Hey, I heard your little partner became a traitor," one of the women said teasingly.

"What does it matter what happened to my partner?" Eleanor replied with a frown.

"You know I don’t like to hear that person’s name. Why are you talking about it?"

"Hehehe, were you all smug when he became an Elder and even said that he would be under your feet soon after you charmed him? Now, in the blink of an eye, he has become a dog chased by the village. I bet he is running for his life."

Eleanor rolled her eyes and didn’t reply, changing the subject immediately.

At that moment, the door creaked open, making the two women immediately alert.

"Who are you?" Eleanor became vigilant immediately, her eyes flashing in a pattern as if she were preparing a spell.

The other woman also adopted a defensive stance, glaring ferociously at the door.

"No need to be vigilant, it’s me," came a chuckle from outside the door.

"It’s you," Eleanor’s eyes widened in shock.

"Who is he?" the woman asked, her face blushing as she looked at the burly man in front of her.

His hand was large and rough, and his long white hair seemed to suit her taste. Not only that, Aur seemed to exude a dominating aura that greatly attracted her. Making her have some wild thoughts.

"Yes, it’s me," Aur replied with a cold expression.

"Helen, leave this room," Eleanor sternly spoke.

"Why should I leave? You still haven’t told me who this handsome hunk is," Helen licked her lips.

"You don’t need to worry about that," Eleanor replied firmly.

A playful smile appeared on Helen’s face. "Is this your lover? Is that why you want me to leave the room?"

"You…" Eleanor shouted, as if her tail had been stepped on.

"Haha, don’t worry, I’ll leave," Helen said hastily, scurrying off.

But she paused midway, giving Aur a glance, and then seductively showcasing her cleavage before finally leaving the place.

Aur remained still, showing little emotion. He had seen countless beauties in his past lives and this one; his heart couldn’t be easily moved.

Suddenly, he noticed the mist-like substance of mana becoming more active in the room.

"She’s using a spell?" Aur’s heart stirred as he looked into the woman’s eyes, where there was not a single pattern.

In just a moment, he felt like this girl had become more attractive, but with a shake of his head, these feelings vanished.

The girl was stunned when she saw this, but a playful smile appeared at the corner of her lips.

"You are quite interesti-" Helen’s words were abruptly cut off as Aur swiftly moved.

His hand formed a tight, knotted fist, and without a shred of hesitation, he punched at her.

"Eh," was the last sound she managed to utter before she was smashed into blood mist.

"If you dare to attack me, then you must be prepared to die over it," Aur muttered coldly, his voice echoing in the now silent room as he rubbed his hand clean of the blood that smeared his hands.
