Chapter 2264: Am I Not Even Qualified To Be His Maid?

Sivir walked over with a golden crystal that was the size of a baby’s fist, and offered it to Mag with both her hands. “This is the phantom core. Please accept it.”

Mag glanced at that shiny golden crystal. Its texture was similar to an ordinary crystal but it contained a lot of energy.

However, energy at this level was already of no value to him.

Mag didn’t reach out. He simply faintly said, “It’s yours now.”

“This…” Sivir looked at Mag and then at the phantom core in her hands. This was an extremely precious phantom core of a Golden-Eyed White Tiger. Its value was above 1,000,000 copper coins.

She couldn’t see the expression underneath that mask, but judging from his calm tone, this phantom core wasn’t important to him.

However, why was he giving it to her so easily?

Perhaps, it was a gift to his little maid?

So… he is already treating me like his maid?

Sivir pursed her lips. She suddenly felt that the phantom core in her hands was rather hot. She wanted to throw it away and yet wanted to hold onto it tightly at the same time. She didn’t know what to do at that moment.

After holding onto the phantom core in a daze for a while, Sivir finally looked up and said to Mag with a blush, “M-master.”

“I didn’t say I want you to be my maid. It’s just a simple gesture.” Mag retracted his gaze. He stood on the griffin and looked up at the sky at a 45 degree angle. His lips under the mask had already curved up uncontrollably.

This maiden was rather interesting.

However, wouldn’t it be interesting to keep a little maid like her who resembled a cheetah?

Sivir looked at Mag and expressions of astonishment, disappointment, joy, sadness and loss flashed across her face before she blushed. She wanted to find a place to hide herself.

It was so embarrassing!

She already treated herself as his maid, but he hadn’t even thought about having her as his maid.

Never mind about the offer, but she was even rejected…

The only thing that consoled her was that her subordinates were all busy with processing the Golden-Eyed White Tiger’s body. They shouldn’t have heard her calling him ‘Master’ nor heard his reply.

The cold night wind howled in the woods, but it still felt hot when it touched Sivir’s face.

Everyone soon finished the dismemberment. They took all the valuable items like the skin, teeth and claws.

“It’s a pity that the flesh and bones are wasted. They can be sold for a lot of money,” Dennis murmured with pity.

“Let’s go.” Mag patted the purple-striped griffin gently and it took off and flew towards Chaos City. It left the magic beast mountain range that Sivir and her subordinates deemed as a natural chasm, in an instant.

Sivir covered her face and crouched to the side during the journey.

Her injuries were almost healed, only her ribs needed some more time to completely heal.

However, her heart was hurt… It would take a long time for her to recover.

She flicked a glance at the figure sitting at the very front with an aggrieved gaze.

Was she really that bad? Am I not even qualified to be his maid?

“Mmm? Why am I still thinking about becoming his maid?” Sivir frowned, feeling that something was wrong with her.

The purple-striped griffin stopped in front of the city gate and Sivir regained her wits. She got off the griffin together with the others and bowed to Mag in gratitude. “Thank you for saving us. As long as you need us, the Rose Mercenary Squad will be at your service anytime.”

“I got it.” Mag simply left a faint sentence before the purple-striped griffin took to the air and disappeared on the horizon.

All of them looked at the sky enviously for a long time before retracting their gazes.

Standing on the solid ground in front of the city gate, all of them looked at one another before letting out a cheer that celebrated them getting out of danger in one piece.

They were once so close to death. If Alex hadn’t appeared suddenly, they would have become that Golden-Eyed White Tiger’s dinner now.

However, all of them not only returned to Chaos City in one piece, but they had even obtained all the precious materials from the Golden-Eyed White Tiger.

“We’re rich! We’re really rich this time!”

“Yes. Just this white tiger’s skin alone can easily sell for 500,000 copper coins. The tiger’s teeth and claws are also excellent materials for making weapons. They, too, can fetch a high price.”

“This tiger’s p*nis can fetch a high price too. I’ll go look for Old Wang tomorrow and he will definitely give us a good price.”

The Rose Mercenary Squad’s members went through their spoils with an excited expression.

They had earned more this trip than what they could in the whole year.

In the trade of mercenaries, the co-existence of risk and profit was an unchangeable rule.

Weak mercenaries like them could only do some small missions around the exterior of the magic beast mountain range.

Sivir held onto the phantom core with a distracted mind. She only regained her wits and said after some time, “There’s one more phantom core here.”

Monkey was already awake. He leaned against Skol and smilingly said, “Captain, Lord Alex gave you this phantom core, so keep it for yourself.”

“Yes. If it wasn’t for you, Captain, we wouldn’t have lasted until Lord Alex appeared. We cannot take this phantom core.”

Everyone chimed in. They weren’t tempted by the phantom core’s high selling price.

Sivir looked at all of them quietly for a moment before nodding and accepting the phantom core. “I won’t take a cut from the profits of the other items then.”

***

Mag only spent an extra 20 minutes with this small episode.

He was very willing to assist others in such small matters. Furthermore, they were someone he knew.

This bullpup assault rifle killed a 7th-tier magic beast from 15 km away with one shot. Mag had a better understanding of this assault rifle now.

Mag turned the assault rifle into the silent mode and tested a few more shots in the magic beast mountain range again.

There were other small mercenary squads like the Rose Mercenary Squad that were stuck in the mountain range, and Mag resolved some problems for them.

However, Mag only pointed out a way for these mercenary squads that he didn’t know and then left right away.

Finally, Mag found a 10th-tier Striped Soul Leopard. He locked onto it, aimed through the sight at a 30 km distance and pressed on the trigger.

The bullet fired silently. The sharp bullet head pierced through the space and made a wave before flying towards the striped soul leopard.

However, that soul leopard seemed to have sensed something and its forward dashing figure paused. It became a faint shadow and pounced backwards.

The bullet brushed by its body and shattered the giant rock which was behind it.

“It’s indeed a 10th-tier magic beast. Is it really so hard to hit?” Mag fired another two shots.

The soul leopard transformed into three faint shadows and ran towards three different directions.

The bullets shattered two of them, but they both missed the actual leopard.

Meanwhile, that soul leopard dashed into the mountain range and disappeared.

Mag didn’t continue to pursue it. He had no intention to kill that soul leopard. He simply wanted to test the gun.

A 10th-tier magic beast’s sense of danger was very acute. The person using the gun needed to have a more accurate perception.

“I still need more practice.” Mag put away the gun and got Ah Zi to return to the restaurant.
