The sixth day.
Maxwell walked out of the national treasury with a satisfied and excited expression.
These six days were sothing very important to him.
After glancing back at the entrance of the national treasury and bidding the two guards farewell, he then left the area.
Inside the national treasury.
The spiritual herbs were practically emptied.
The ten-thousand-year-old upgrade tals had turned into a little pile no larger than a piece of cow turd. As for the one-thousand-year-old upgrade tals, they weren’t even touched since those things were pretty much useless to Maxwell.
"Perverted!"
"Bandit! Pirate!"
"But I like it, hahaha..." Aaron’s figure suddenly appeared. Looking at the empty spiritual herbs and upgrade tals consud by Maxwell, he wasn’t angry and started laughing instead. Recalling last night when Maxwell was crafting those long skeletal bones, his heart was once again shocked.
Alchemy techniques at the Grandmaster level.
Weapon crafting techniques at the Grandmaster level.
People with those two occupations were already considered rare, and for a single person to be proficient in both was even rarer. And for soone to reach such a terrifying level of expertise, most likely Maxwell was the first in the last ten thousand years!
Seeing the disappearing back of Maxwell, Aaron smiled until his eyes only showed a thin line. He then said, "Arthur was correct; this kid is even more fierce than Human King Edger. Just those two occupations are already sothing that cowardly Edger cannot compare with."
"The only thing I’m not sure of is whether his strength is as high as what Arthur has said."
"It will be a terrifying cultivation strength if he has already reached level 6 King rank when he’s not even twenty years old yet."
"Kiddo, go have fun causing waves."
Aaron’s heart was filled with expectations.
---
"Boss!"
"Boss is back."
"I missed you, big brother."
"Dragon head, this one misses you, too. Do you want to play a returning song for you?"
"Blindman Dale, can you go take a break sowhere?"
Maxwell went into a rather secluded courtyard in the royal palace. Constantine rushed up to welco him while everyone showed their joy.
Maxwell’s group didn’t go back to the Red Dragon Gang’s headquarters in the northern city.
As for Maxwell himself...
There wasn’t really any need for him to go back there either. After killing Ray, he had already beco the King of the northern city, and there wasn’t anyone capable of challenging his position. As for the spots to attend the Heaven and Earth rankings, no one would dare challenge his group for the six positions.
There was no one qualified inside the northern city.
Of course...
Maxwell didn’t know about this.
He also didn’t have the ti to think of those things because the auction would be starting in three days. What he needed to do was amass as much money as he could. In the Forbidden Grounds, he had activated the Dragon Execution Array twice and thus burned through a large number of attributed beast cores.
The current amount of attributed beast cores he had on hand didn’t seem to be enough.
Thinking about how powerful the Great Alliance were, and how there’s no way his current self could touch them, he could only go through the normal ans to purchase Brenda’s mother. He was really hoping the auction would go smoothly.
He was really hoping there wouldn’t be any major problems.
"Bastard, you’ve finally co back."
"Slly scoundrel, if you didn’t co back soon, all of us would’ve gone crazy. Humph..."
Arianna and Lilith ca out of the courtyard with unhappy expressions.
Maxwell then asked: "What happened?"
Lilith then said, "We have been forbidden to leave. They said that until you return, none of us is allowed to leave the royal palace. Passing these days in a gilded cage is killing us, so your return now is the perfect ti for us to go out and have so fun. The Great Alliance’s annual auction will start in three days, so the Capital City will definitely have a bunch of famous people who have co all over for it. It should be extrely lively, so quickly bring us out to play!"
"I want to go too! I want to go too!" shouted Arianna while jumping up and down.
Brenda giggled before looking at Maxwell and fluttering her large eyes. She then said cutely, "Big brother, I want to go too. Bring along as well, hee hee..."
Maxwell looked at Constantine and the rest, and they just stared at him in return.
It looks like these guys really have lost their minds from boredom these past six days.
Maxwell had no other choice. There were already quite a few people who knew of Brenda’s identity and were hatching sches, so the royal palace was the safest place for her. Within the Capital City, a single word from the royal family and no one would dare to act rashly.
Maxwell raised his arm like he was rallying them and said, "Fine! Everyone, prepare to head out to the main streets!"
"Okay!"
"Yeah!"
"Long live big brother!"
"Boss, you are treating us so nicely. If I continued staying here, even I would start getting sick out of nowhere," said Constantine with a bitter smile. He hadn’t left this courtyard all these days and was truly about to go bonkers.
Maxwell then shouted: "But...!"
"You guys better listen up – do not run all over the place. Constantine, Blindman Dale, you two are responsible for Brenda’s safety. Godfrey, you are responsible for the Princess and Lilith’s safety. Don’t get flustered if sothing happens and just co get . If you happen to et a strong opponent, don’t tangle with them; tolerate them. Rember what they look like and then co back to call for backup. I refuse to believe that people will dare provoke us while we’re still in the Capital City!"
"Add in as well."
Adam ca into the courtyard wearing casual and inconspicuous clothes.
He had rushed over the mont he heard that Maxwell had co out of the national treasury.
Of course...
That piece of news was sent over by Arthur. His intentions were very simple since he wanted Adam to grab hold of Maxwell.
Even if Arthur didn’t have those intentions, Adam would’ve done the sa thing. There weren’t any unscrupulous intentions, and only because Maxwell treated him as a brother and he treated Maxwell as one as well. Maxwell had already occupied a very high position inside his heart.
Maxwell smiled and greeted: "Ninth brother."
Arianna had an unhappy expression as she harrumphed: "Humph! Ninth brother, I don’t think you should co with us. It’s because of your command that the guards didn’t let us go out these past few days. Now you should be the one who cannot go out, humph!"
Adam chuckled and said, "Thirteenth sister, it was actually Maxwell who requested to do that."
"Huh?"
Maxwell was instantly betrayed.
He quickly ran out and shouted behind him: "Go! Let’s go shopping!"
Arianna was still in a state of startlent, and just as she was going to show her temper, she realised everyone had already started rushing out of the courtyard. She stomped her feet in anger and could only quickly follow the others.
"Constantine and Blindman Dale are protecting Brenda, and Godfrey is taking care of us both. Bastard, what about you?" Lilith asked curiously.
Maxwell smiled mysteriously and said, "I naturally have my own things to take care of."
Adam then asked: "Do you have any matters that need my assistance?"
Maxwell smiled and replied: "No need. I’m going to head over to the Great Alliance and put so items up for auction to get so pocket money. Uhhh... that’s right. I have prepared a small present for each of you and will give it to you guys tonight."
"Presents?"
"What kind of presents?"
"Big brother, I also want a present. I love getting presents, hee hee..."
Constantine and others all showed faces of anticipation.
They all knew that...
The presents Maxwell prepared for them will definitely be extraordinary.
Maxwell had already made preparations for the auction before he entered the national treasury. If everything went smoothly, those presents would not be needed. If things didn’t go smoothly, then there would be a fierce fight. Therefore, Maxwell had to raise their battle strength even if it was only a little.
The presents he prepared for them were all very useful, capable of raising their strength by a single level.
Auction house!
Hopefully, everything will go smoothly...
A group of rowdy people left the royal palace.
"Wow..."
"The air outside the royal palace is so fresh!"
"I can sll the scent of freedom!"
"Such a comfortable feeling!"
Maxwell glared at them and said, "There’s no need to say those exaggerated comnts; you guys should be thanking Ninth brother instead. If I didn’t have him restrict your movents, who knows how much trouble you guys would’ve caused by now? It’s a good thing to lie low for a while."
