Supreme Magus novel Chapter 432

Before leaving the Mage Association, Lith collected the money they owed him for treating the people wounded during the last accident.

’Poor guy. It wouldn’t surprise me if he was writing his last will right now. Your acting skills are impressive.’ Solus chuckled.

’Because most of what I said is true. I don’t care about their problem and unless I get properly compensated, I’ll find a way to get even with them. The moment the Commander ordered me to listen rather than to do something, I knew something big was going on.

’What I didn’t expect was that they would drag Tista in this mess to force my hand. I tried twisting their arm to get a juicy reward and ended up with my own arm twisted. Whoever is behind this is going to owe me big time.’ Lith replied.

’Not Dorian?’

’Dorian is just a mage, he hasn’t the power to pull off a stunt like this. He is just obeying orders and it’s the one pulling his strings I’m after.’ Lith came out of the building and called his sister.

"Where are you?"

"Good morning to you too, lil brother." Tista replied with a radiant smile, ignoring his cold tone.

"I’ve just reached your hotel. Your room is really nice. I was expecting you would sleep in a hostel to save money and you picked a suite instead. The trip to Othre must have been a nightmare."

"And thanks to you the stay isn’t looking good either. I’ll be there shortly." He took off and reached the Swan’s Song less than a minute later. The moment he stepped inside, Lith was welcomed by a familiar vibe. Envy mixed with hostility.

"Tista." Lith said with a sigh. Whenever they traveled together, she drew a lot of attention on herself and turned most men in Lith’s sworn enemies. The fact she introduced herself with his same last name without ever saying she was his sister added fuel to the fire.

Even the half pint receptionist at the front desk was outraged enough to glare at him.

Lith went upstairs and found the "Do not disturb" tag hanging off the doorknob. He was about to knock, just to be safe, when a voice inside said:

"Come on in!"

Tista ran to him and hugged him tightly. Lith returned it for a second before pushing her gently away.

"I missed you, big sis."

"I missed you too, lil brother. Why the angry voice earlier?" She asked with a curious tone.

"First things first, how did you get in here?"

"As usual." She shrugged. "I told the receptionist I’m with you and I showed him my ID."

"The one with my family crest and name? Now everyone will think we’re married." He sat on the nearest sofa like a deadweight.

"That was the plan. I’ve yet to find a creep or a wannabe playboy that dares to bother me after seeing you." She chuckled.

"Fine! Now would you like to explain to me how could you let yourself be dragged in whatever is happening here?"

"You really don’t know how grave the situation is?" Tista was stunned.

"I don’t care about the situation."
