My Muscle System in the Mage World

Chapter 89: Integrity

"As I have heard a lot about the woman from that room, I was truly impressed by her beauty and wanted to capture her in my painting if all the rumors I heard were right. However, since the place was already occupied by someone before I arrived, young master, so I went to the other room instead," Aur said with a bow.

"Hmm," Jackson's face morphed into a frown while looking at Leo for explanation.

"No, the young master don't believe him, I… I…" Leo gritted his teeth.

Jackson remained silent as he looked at the brush in Aur's hand and the woman who was hiding behind the blanket with a scared expression on her face.

She tentatively looked through the semi see through blanket with terror reflecting on her face, like a scared bunny her previous arrogant expression was long gone.

This made a smile appear on his face as he almost mechanically turned his head towards Leo and Anne.

"So do the two of you have any excuses to make?" Jackson spoke with a smile on his face. However, the smile on Jackson's face looked like a devil's smile to both of them.

"But… but…" Leo wanted to refute; however, no words came to his mind, and his expression turned even more horrified.

Anne was the same as well, with her expression morphing into pure terror as the realisation sank in.

"I didn't actually care about your guys' plot. After all, you didn't disrupt me in any way, and if you didn't lay a hand on my woman, Sophia, but now?" Jackson looked at them with narrowed eyes, reflecting deep killing intent.

The two's expressions turned even more horrified upon seeing this, as they both knew they had really messed up this time.

"But since Aur didn't even come to the room, he wasn't the one who did that to my woman, Sophia, so the only one who would do such a thing is…" Jackson's eyes narrowed to a slit, focusing on Leo, revealing a domineering pressure that made him freeze.

"Do you have any last words to say?" he spoke in a cold, chilling tone filled with the intent to kill Leo right here and now.

"No… no, you can't kill me," Leo spoke with tears and snot that filled his face, his eyes revealing a deep terror of death.

"Then tell me, what makes you think that I can't kill you?" Jackson asked with some amusement in his tone.

"Think, Leo, think… think… think…" a disgusting smell emanated from him as the fear of his broke out in his pants, wetting the entire floor in the process.

Anne hurriedly scurried to the side with a disgusted expression while pinching her nose.

"So is this your answer?" Jackson ignored Anne for now as he looked at Leo with clear disgust in his eyes.

"No, it isn't… I just don't want to die," Leo cried.

"Then goodb-"

"You can't kill me, I am a student of the academy." Leo hurriedly took out his badge and showed it in front of Jackson with no hesitation.

"This," Jackson frowned when he saw the badge; however, his gaze soon turned cold. "If you have the badge, do you think I can't kill you? I have a valid reason for it."

"Well, the reason is there; however, you can't kill me even if I offend you. Only the academy can punish me according to the rules," Leo replied, his tone becoming calmer at the end, with a confident face.

"You really think these rules can restrain me?" Jackson said with a sneer on his face, but he didn't move from his position.

"You, are you prepared to face the punishment from the academy then?" Leo spoke in anger.

"Yes, you are right about one thing that I can't kill you. However, I have thousands of ways to make your life miserable that you wish for your death, just like you wanted to plot with these poor fellow Aur. Or you might not have even plotted it and just wanted to make Aur take the blame instead after you did the deed," Jackson spoke with his smile widening.

"So any more words?"

Leo closed his eyes in resignation.

"Good. If you had resisted, it would have been more fun, but too bad," Jackson spoke with pity, making everyone's expression turn strange seeing the guy.

"What are you guys looking at?" Jackson shouted with a cough as he looked at both of them. "You two can go away now."

"Thank you, young master," Anna bowed without hesitation while leaving the room almost immediately, while Leo stayed behind with gritted teeth.

"I…"

"What are you standing here for? Enjoy some time you have for a peaceful life," Jackson shouted in a roar, making Leo nod his head with a regretful expression as he hurriedly scurried away.

After the two left, a strange awkward silence enveloped the room.

Jackson just stood still, making Liam also stay silent patiently, and the hulking youth Aur was casually looking at his sketch with admiration, enjoying the painting he had made.

The woman shivered in bed while hiding underneath the blanket of the bed, silently not daring to utter a single word, and the kimono woman sighed bitterly.

"I have thoroughly offended this young man…" Her eyes glinted with pity as she looked at Aur.

"I am wondering what this brother is doing," Jackson suddenly broke the strange silence with a smile.

"Hmm," Aur frowned as he looked at the royal-clothed person in front of him.

Jackson had green hair, with his hair combed to perfection, and his royal golden robe shined with an air of authority.

Just his clothes emitted a terrifying pressure that could intimidate with just a look.

Aur recognized the robes; they were wizard's robes just like his, but far more advanced.

Not only did they emit a terrifying pressure, but they also exuded an intimidating aura. Aur was sure these were tier one mage robes, far superior to his own, which could barely be considered mage apprentice robes.

The defense it provided would undoubtedly be at least a thousand times better than his own.

"So this is the difference between landlords and an average family," Aur thought bitterly.

"Umm, Brother Aur?" Jackson looked at Aur with an awkward gaze.

"Yeah, this is one of the greatest paintings I have ever made," Aur nodded his head with a proud expression.

"Now I am really curious. Would you care to show us, Brother Aur?" Jackson asked with a curious expression.

"Well," Aur had a thoughtful expression, "no, this will ruin the integrity of the woman in the bed." He pointed at the woman hidden behind the blanket with a sincere expression.

Everyone looked at Aur with stunned gazes, even the woman who was hidden underneath the blanket was stunned beyond belief.

"Why did you draw my naked body in the first place if you were so concerned with breaking my integrity?" She mumbled with a strange expression, unsure whether to be happy or cry about it.

Jackson looked at Aur with a strange expression on his face. "Brother Aur, I hope you fulfill my curiosity. Why did you even draw her then?"

"To earn money, of course," Aur spoke nonchalantly.
