"Mr. Mage, I have a few questions for you, if you don''t mind. And please don''t misunderstand me; I have no ill intentions. I''m willing to pay for the information," The beautiful blonde woman in the red robe spoke with a smile as she came in front of Myne and gently tapped her wooden staff''s butt on the ground, creating a transparent barrier around them.

    Trouble... Sigh, but still, compared to that old man Tharnak and red-haired woman, she at least didn''t want to extract information and treat me like an ant. Myne realised that was no match for this blonde woman, and she also seemed to have some tricks to remove his Ethereal Phase skill effect forcefully. He could only nod his head.

    "As long as I know, I will try to satisfy your curiosity, My Lady."

    "I like honest people like you the most," The blonde woman grabbed Myne''s cheek between her index finger and thumb and continued, "Don''t worry, I''m not an ungrateful b*tch. If you cooperate well, trust me, we both will be happy. Now before we start, can I ask you from which basement you came out?"

    "Number 5, maybe? I seem to have heard a young girl and a bunch of her bootlicking followers talking about it," Myne thought for a second and replied while enjoying the blonde woman''s gentle pinching. She seemed to have some talent in massage.

    "Tell me she wasn''t cursing trouble there," The woman''s smile suddenly froze, and unconsciously she increased her strength.

    "Ouch, ouch, ouch, it hurts, be gentle, be gentle..." Myne let out a painful cry, bringing the woman back to her senses, and she quickly let go of his cheek.

    "Sorry, sorry, I was just distracted," After apologizing, the woman touched Myne''s cheek with her palm, and a green light shone on her palm, relieving Myne of his pain. Although Myne didn''t care about such a small amount of pain, he feared that his clone''s weak body might not be able to handle it, after all, the other party''s strength wasn''t as weak as she was trying to show.

    "Well, by trouble, if you mean releasing a bunch of monstrous ants and some kind of weird creature to torture teleported people. Then she was enjoying it a lot. By the way, she also said something like she wasn''t afraid of her b*tch mother; she now had her father''s support, and if her mother dared to order her around anymore, she didn''t mind beating her to a pulp and showing her who''s the boss."

    Because the woman before him and that arrogant girl in the basement looked 80% similar, and even their voices were the same, along with her questioning about that girl, it didn''t take long for Myne to realize that she was the mother in that girl''s mouth, who seemed very strict with her daughter. And as a qualified troublemaker, how could Myne let go of such a good opportunity to teach that arrogant brat a good lesson?"

    "Oh, she really said those things?" The woman somehow managed to maintain her smile as if this had nothing to do with her.

    "Yes, and her followers also were very arrogant and trying their best to pour oil on the fire, filling that girl''s mind with all kinds of bad words about her mother and provoking her to do bad things for fun''s sake, so she could continue fooling around for enjoyment and increase their favorability in her eyes. You know, nowadays, how easy it is to fool young people, just say some comforting words and nonsense they want to listen to the most, and they will believe in you unconditionally."@@@@

    "Anyway, forget about that little fool. I still couldn''t believe how easily she was fooled by those bunch of idiots. So what do you want to ask me?" Myne casually waved his head with an irritated expression, behaving like he didn''t want to talk about that fool, which made the woman, the mother of the girl, grit her teeth in anger. After all, no parent wanted to hear that their child was an idiot and people were using her to their own advantage, and most importantly, expecting their child, everyone else knew that they were using her.

    "Don''t be surprised. Our Pope knows this magic as well. He always uses it to deal with all official business of the church, while his real body is always either completing God''s tasks or looking for some way to take tasks from our God, he is a workaholic and power-hungry restless old man who can do anything to increase his strength," The woman let out a helpless sigh and shook her head.

    "By the way, Mage, are you interested in joining me? Your magic is very useful for us, and believe me, you will be satisfied with the reward. We are not stingy with our partners."

    "If you answer my two questions, then I will definitely consider this proposal seriously," Myne pondered for a minute before speaking with a serious expression.

    "Ask!" The woman seemed really eager to recruit Myne into her team and replied as soon as his words fell.

    "First, what is your name? Mine is Myne, Myne Fortuna. Nice to meet you," Myne raised his hand at the blonde woman.

    "Huh? That''s it? I thought you would ask something serious," The woman let out a light chuckle and held Myne''s hand gently. "Finn Osciana. Nice to meet you too."

    "Finn, you have a beautiful name. Now, my second question... please don''t be offended. Are you married? If so, then do you love your husband? Don''t misunderstand me, but female mages like you are very rare in my world, and as you can see, as a young man in his prime, currently finding a beautiful girlfriend is my most important task.

    "Although I don''t know about your personality, at least your figure is to my liking. You can say that you are the woman whom I always dream about. Please give me a chance," Myne grabbed Finn''s hand with both of his hands and spoke with eyes full of passion, like a lover who, after going through hellish struggles, was finally able to make up his mind and propose to the girl he always loved.

    "What!?" Finn was completely dumbfounded by Myne''s words. She didn''t understand what was going on in this weird mage''s head. How could he possibly propose to a stranger he met only ten minutes ago, and that too with such a confident look on his face?

    "Sorry, but we can''t be together. First of all, I have a husband, and although nowadays our bond is on the verge of getting destroyed, I still have no intention of looking for another man. And you are not my type. You better find a young girl of your age instead of trying to eat someone else''s sweet," Finn''s expression turned cold, and she forcefully pulled her hand away from Myne, after breaking Myne''s beautiful dream bubble, she quickly made some distance from him.

    "Well, forget it then. Now, if you don''t have anything else to ask, I will take my leave, and thanks for your time," Myne sighed heavily with a depressed look on his face, like a heartbroken lover who got rejected by his crush. After giving Finn a forced smile, he lowered his head and started walking toward the left. The entrance to the basement was behind a giant building, surrounded by a three-meter-tall wall.

    "The exit is on the other side," Finn, although feeling a bit sad that she couldn''t pull such a good talent under her wing, since the other party was just a clone and it was a bit too dangerous to let such an unstable factor join the church, she didn''t try to pursue him at all and let him go.

    "Thanks, and take care, I hope we meet again," Myne raised his head slowly and gave her another forced smile before exhaling a deep breath, lowering his head, and starting to walk towards the other side.

    "Nowadays, children, only God knows what''s going on in their crazy minds," Finn shook her head and walked into the basement, putting Myne''s matter aside. Now she had more important things to do, which was to teach her daughter and her bastard henchmen a good lesson. As for Myne getting to death by guards after getting seen by them? What does this have to do with her?
