After the slave owners went bankrupt, they all wanted to keep me as a mistress.

Her figure was not simply slender; every curve was just right, neither too plump nor too thin, as perfect as a ripe peach, exuding an aloof and enticing aura that seemed to invite picking yet kept people at a distance.

Even from behind, that aloof and superior aura that surpasses all others is overwhelming.

Mu Qiu's eyebrows unconsciously rose slightly.

She is... the strongest person on Earth?

When Mu Qiu's gaze lingered on her back, Medicia seemed to sense something, and slowly turned around, clutching the dragon potion in her hand.

"Able to break through the barrier surrounding the association and appear directly in front of me..."

Her voice was cold and her expression indifferent.

"So, you are the chosen hero of this generation?"

Mu Qiu steadied himself and tried to look away from the other person's overly alluring figure. His gaze unconsciously drifted to the side, and then he saw the potion in Medicia's hand.

The moment Mu Qiu saw the bottle of potion, his eyes lit up.

original.

Even the strongest person on Earth needs to use magic potions?

"How much is that potion you have? Where can I buy the same potion?"

"Sell?"

Upon hearing this, Medicia's slender eyebrows twitched almost imperceptibly.

"A super-tier dragon potion—do you think a weak ant like you can use it?"

Mu Qiu was taken aback.

"Can't use it?"

"It doesn't work."

Medicia's lips curled up, her tone carrying a hint of barely perceptible amusement: "If you're not afraid of exploding and dying, you can try it, but even if you wanted to buy it, you couldn't."

"This item is a special supply from the Association's potion workshop. It is extracted from the essence of an ancient dragon and inscribed with lost runes. Its value cannot be measured in gold coins."

She paused, then took a small step forward, making the oppressive feeling emanating from her voluptuous figure seem even more tangible.

"Besides, you heroes don't have any talent for potions."

"Or……"

"You... intend to use this potion elsewhere?"

She tilted her head slightly, her silver earrings swaying gently, her gaze seemingly able to see through people's hearts.

Mu Qiu was taken aback.

She could even tell that he was going to use the potion on Vera and the others?

"As a hero... it's only natural to want to help your companions become stronger, right?"

Although Mu Qiu wasn't interested in the identity of a hero.

But since the other party calls him a hero, then at least in this dream... let's just pretend that I am a hero.

"companion?"

Medicia repeated the word softly, the corners of her lips curving upwards, as if mocking, or perhaps feeling bored.

I thought this year's hero would be something special, but it turns out... he's just a fool.

companion?

Only the weak need companions; the strong are always solitary!

“Countless people pursue power, whether for authority, hatred, protection, or simply the pleasure of transcendence.”

"Hmph... And you, you want to pursue power for others."

Medicia crossed her arms, a gesture that accentuated her curves and gave her an unconscious allure.

She looked directly into Mu Qiu's eyes, her arrogant voice slowly rising: "Then tell me, what is the ultimate goal of your pursuit of power for others? What do you really want to become?"

Stunned by this unexpected question, Mu Qiu was momentarily speechless.

end?

What will I become?

Do you need to ask?

Of course, I want to become Happy Superman! When you're happy, you're a superman—just kidding, you're a superman even when you're not happy!

He aims to achieve bankruptcy here, return to Earth with the ability to live forever and even become immortal, and become a homelander whom no one can restrain, doing whatever he wants every day. This is the destination he wants to reach.

but……

Just like when a teacher calls on a student to name their dream for the future, no one would say, "I want to marry a hundred wives." Instead, they would say something like becoming an astronaut, a doctor, or a teacher...

The ultimate destination of this bankruptcy and returning home is naturally something that cannot be discussed.

"Because...I'm going to become the strongest man?"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Mu Qiu felt they were a bit stupid, especially in front of this woman who was obviously ridiculously strong and had a body that was so hot it was unfair. His words sounded somewhat arrogant.

But last night he had dreamt of the white-haired woman on the throne who dared to say, "Avoid my sharp edge or the king will not meet the king," so Mu Qiu subconsciously answered in that direction.

After all, aiming to be the strongest sounds much more respectable than aiming to become Happy Superman...

However, Medicia's reaction was unexpected.

She was slightly taken aback at first, and her full breasts rose and fell almost imperceptibly with her breathing.

Then, she gave a soft hum, straightened up, and her voluptuous curves were fully revealed under her dress, making her posture appear even more superior.

"The strongest... man?"

Medicia slowly savored the word, crossed her arms, lifted her high breasts, looked Mu Qiu up and down, and then nodded slightly.

"I understand."

She spoke calmly, her voice revealing neither joy nor anger, but her aura grew increasingly imposing. Her red lips parted slightly: "After going through such a long and winding road, asking about the potion is a pretense; the real purpose is to express my feelings."

"???"

Mu Qiu's eyes widened.

What does it mean to express one's feelings?

Aren't you all too arrogant, being the strongest on the surface and the strongest underground?

You're crazy! Does every man have to like you?!

Before Mu Qiu could retort, Medicia's lips curved into a slight smile, and her cool voice slowly rang out: "In your opinion, what is the strongest?"

"The strongest means... there are no stronger ones?"

Mu Qiu assumed that Medicia wanted to discuss the concept of the strongest with him, so he took over the conversation.

Then, he saw the woman with long, dark hair in front of him shake her head.

"Foolishness!"

"When you were in school, didn't your teachers teach you that everything in the world, every question, has a corresponding truth?"

"And I am the strongest principle!"

Medicia slightly raised her chin, revealing her graceful neck and delicate collarbone, a gesture that made her look like a proud swan.

"I am the strongest principle, I am the end of all things. Truth will only be revealed in me, and the power of heaven and earth flows in my hands. No one can compare with me, and no one can become stronger, because I was born here!"

"And you, you want to become the strongest man... Hmph, so you want to be my man?"

"?"

Mu Qiu slowly typed out a question mark.

"I didn't... I really came to ask about potions..."

There's no need to deny it.

Medicia interrupted him, her tone carrying an absolute confidence, or rather, she never listened to anyone's ideas.

Because she is the strongest, she is the only one, she is the truth of the world, the heavens revolve around her, and everything she says is correct.

“Over the decades, countless people have tried to get my attention in various ways.”

"But you are the first person to say you want to be my man, and the first person to confess your feelings to me the very first time we met!"

Medicia's lips curved into a wider smile, her beautiful eyes fixed intently on Mu Qiu's direction.

"This audacity and courage, this obsession with the vulgar..."

"You are indeed no ordinary hero."

She raised her chin high and looked at Mu Qiu with an extremely arrogant gaze:

"Feel honored, Medicia, the strongest principle in the world, today I will give you an opportunity."

Mu Qiu felt the dream begin to blur, and Medicia's voluptuous yet aloof figure gradually faded away, leaving only her last words, filled with extreme arrogance, clearly audible:

"If you can prove that you are the boldest hero in the world—!"

"If you can prove you are the most despicable hero in the world—!"

"Then, bearing the title of the greatest in the world, I acknowledge that you can stand shoulder to shoulder with me and become the strongest man!"

Chapter 132 The Legendary Elderly Thief Hakimi!

Mu Qiu suddenly opened his eyes. The moonlight outside the window was still there, and he could see a lithe figure leaping back and forth between the houses on the roof of the building opposite.

Wait, what's that on the roof?!

Mu Qiu rubbed his eyes, but before he could see clearly, the figure had already disappeared outside the window.

[Oh my, host, you're awake! Was that the first time you witnessed the phantom thief's escape?]

【whether】

Phantom thief?

Mu Qiu's heart stirred.

Was that figure that just ran past the window the phantom thief the system was talking about?

This is the heart of Earth City. Across from the hotel is a commercial street where large chain merchants, including those associated with the Water of Life, operate. He remembered that when he passed by yesterday, there were quite a few Gold-rank Earth Knights patrolling the area.

Among those top-tier chain merchants, there seem to be experts at the Orichalcum and Mithril levels.

To dare steal things here and not get caught, could it be... one of the legendary professionals who participated in the auction the day before yesterday?

Mu Qiu touched his chin.

Would a legendary figure like him steal things in the middle of the night?

Where is the dignity, morality, and bottom line of a legendary professional?

"Yes!"

[Host, this is your first time witnessing a phantom thief's escape. I guess you don't have much experience dealing with Phantom Thief Kimi. Let me expand your detection range. Your detection function is no longer limited to slaves; it can now be used on thieves, including phantom thieves, and their variant professionals.]

Ok?

What is the name of the phantom thief Kimi?

Mu Qiu raised an eyebrow slightly, then suddenly thought of something. He quickly got out of bed and rushed to the window. He glanced out the window and caught a glimpse of a blurry black figure in the distance.

Just as the figure was about to disappear from his sight, he quickly sent out a detection function.

【Name: Misty】

[Race: Garfield-type cat subhuman]

Title: Phantom Thief Kimi

[Strength Rating: A+]

[Frequently spotted locations: High-end potion shops, large chain merchant guilds, large auction houses.]
