Judging that they weren't of much value and with no animosity, Max just ignored them.

"just ignore them Lu, let's go back to our lesson. Still inform me if they do anything suspicious or that invisible figure gets too close to me. "

....

As Max went back to teaching, the three people noticed him.

They were 2 young men, one being fat and short, with an honest face.

And the other, although has some resemblance to the fatty, he was quite fit and handsome, but his face was gloomy, clearly annoyed by something.

The Third person was a young girl in plain clothes, but even with an ordinary outfit she still had a certain grace to her, but it was hidden by her cute appearance and her mischievous smile.

"look at that guy. Isn't he wearing martial artist clothes?." asked the fatty, confused.

The young girl got excited immediately.

" Really? I never saw a martial artist before. Are you sure Larry ".

The fatty Larry nodded confidently. "yep, that's an authentic martial arts robe, and from the roots Engravings, it's definitely a good piece of equipment.

Trust my words, Amelia, I am an expert in this field. "

"ahhh, amazing, let's go and ask him if he wants to sell it. " Said Amelia cheerfully.

Larry nodded, but the handsome young man that was silent until now suddenly spoke.

"Let's not do that. He most probably won't sell it. Let's just go somewhere else. "

The fatty looked at his older brother Charles, completely taken aback, as if he had just saw a ghost.

His older brother is the successor of the family business.

He had a silver spoon upbringing, which contributed to his haughty demeanor and arrogant personality.

More importantly, he had a crush on their cousin Amelia and usually he never refuses her.

On normal days, after Amelia shows interest in something, he would immediately head to buy that thing either by showing off his money, or by force.

But Larry didn't know what hit his brother today.

Amelia gave Charles a weird look, but she didn't think much about it. But the invisible figure behind them was completely stunned.

...

"don't worry Charles, we'd just go and ask. If he won't sell it, then it's okay. "

Said Amelia as she rushed towards Max, pulling Larry with her.

Charles didn't move for a second.

Max seems to trigger an odd feeling in him, a sense that confrontation is best avoided.

Still looking at the backs of his brother and cousin, he followed them.

anyway, they're just going to ask him a few questions then leave.

It should be fine.

The invisible figure just sighed and followed them. He was lamenting the fact that rich kids can do whatever they want.

In fact, he was the same age as them, but he had to be a bodyguard for money.

He was a C-rank bodyguard that was hired by Amelia's father.

"… sigh, all I need is the first payment. I can definitely grow stronger with money and my mutated talent.. …

Sigh. Just wait for me. I'd get my revenge sooner or later. "

Being this young, he was obviously not a normal C-rank; he was, in fact, a lab rat part of an experiment that went wrong.

they thought he died, and got rid of his body poorly and thus his current life.

Although a confusing part was why a super lab would make such a rookie mistake, it didn't make sense at all, but he just ignored it.

.....

Back at Max, who was still teaching Lucy.

Despite facing away from them, he occasionally caught sight of the group drawing near with his Mystic eye.

Still, he didn't give them much care.

Soon they reached him, and even though the girl in front seemed reckless, she had some sense to keep a safe distance from a stranger in the wild
