Supreme Magus novel Chapter 3688

Chapter 3688: Defensive Line (Part 1)

A single road of Lutia hosted more people than the entire Rezar village, making Salman stare at everything in amazement.

Countless new and delicious smells wafted through the air every time they walked by a restaurant or a grocery store.

“That’s a very romantic way to define marriage.” Solus grunted, holding Valeron the Second to her chest.

“Bad?” The boy asked while pointing at the Rezar and trying to make sense of her irritation.

“No.” Lith shook his head. “Everyone is entitled to their opinion, son.”

“Ba!” Elysia trusted Solus’ judgment and took her side.

“And that’s your opinion, young lady.” Lith replied.

“Ba?” The baby girl turned to Kamila for a tiebreaker.

“It’s complicated, sweetie.” She sighed.

They were approached many times, and Salman would always flinch, afraid that one of the Lutians might be after him.

“Relax.” Kamila patted his shoulder. “No one is going to hurt you. Lith was born in Lutia, and the people here are proud to have him as a fellow citizen. Until a few years ago, this place was a small village too.

“Lutia grew with Lith’s success and under his protection. People admire and feel indebted to him.”

“Also, I bet they’re envious of him.” Salman said. “I’m not talking about his powers. I know I’ve lived in small villages, but I couldn’t help but notice that Lith is surrounded by gorgeous women.”

He respectfully nodded at Solus and Kamila.

“Gorgeous? Me?” Kamila was flattered, but also stunned. “Haven’t you met Tista?”

“No. Who is she?” Salman was even more stunned by her reaction.

“My sister.” Lith replied. “Salman has only met Selia, Friya, Faluel, and Solus.”

“As I said, gorgeous women.” The Rezar shrugged.

“Hold that thought.” Solus sighed. “We’ll see if you don’t change your mind in a while.”

Once they arrived at the Proudhammer Household, the entire family was assembled to welcome the newcomer. The entire family plus two.

Aran and Onyx were lined up with the others, staring at Salman in suspicion.

As for the Rezar, he stared at Rena with wide eyes and an open mouth, giving life to a perfect impression of a dead fish.

When he had heard that Rena was Lith’s older sister and the mother of four, he had expected a plump, kind woman. Not a striking beauty 1,70 meters (5’7″) tall with a slender body that turned curvy only in the right places.

Her shoulder-length blonde hair shone like gold under the sunlight and was further emphasized by its black streaks.

“What are you doing here, little brother?” Lith asked.

“Lilia and Leran warned me you were bringing a handsome and dangerous man to Rena’s home, big brother. I was worried for her.” Aran studied Salman with Life Vision. “They lied to me. At least about the handsome part.”

“I beg your pardon?” Those words snapped Salman out of his reverie.

He knew to be a big fish in a small pond, but so far, he had yet to find his equal. Nalrond and Protector were nowhere as attractive, while Lith’s stern expression made him too imposing to be charming.

“You’re nothing much.” Aran shrugged. “You are weaker than my big brother, and we’ve all met countless guys cooler than you. My sister is weak in the body, not the heart. You have no chance with her.”
