Deep into the night, the stars dotted the sky making the courtyard not too dark.
Inside a room, the sound of snoring could be heard.
Maxwell was in a deep slumber. He hadn’t slept in eight days so of course he was dead tired.
A slight energy fluctuation appeared in the middle of his courtyard. This caused the eyes of the sleeping Maxwell to suddenly tremble. Hit by a flash of alertness, he imdiately sat up.
He sent out his senses and his lips curved into a smile. Maxwell put on so clothes and walked out of his room
"It’s true then, you’ve already levelled up to silver rank. At first, I didn’t believe it, but now I have to. You are truly too impressive." A dark shadow stood there motionless with a cold look. His tone clearly showed his unconstrained anger, hatred, and killing intent.
Maxwell didn’t get close and stayed a safe distance away. He lightly smiled, "You didn’t just co here to confirm that I levelled up, did you?"
The thick killing intent released by Sebastian caused Maxwell to be a bit surprised.
Was this released because of McCollin? Impossible!
Because Maxwell had been too arrogant these past few days? Also impossible!
Releasing killing intent because Fargo hadn’t returned yet? Also impossible.
This killing intent was so thick that one would only release when they had a death feud. That’s why Maxwell ca to the conclusion that it should be for his son Gregory. Only killing a son would incite such strong killing intent.
"From the looks of things, it appears he has finally found out." Maxwell’s mind was only a bit surprised so his facial expression didn’t show any noticeable changes.
It was clear that Sebastian wasn’t going to make a move against him yet by just standing there. At least it wasn’t right now because his na was still a golden colour!
"Let’s get straight to the point. You will die tomorrow." Sebastian said frankly.
Maxwell’s eyebrows quivered, "Oh?"
Sebastian continued: "You don’t have to die though..."
Maxwell asked: "What’s the condition?"
Sebastian’s lips slightly curved into a confident smile, "Take out the Raging Fire Bull’s Beast core, cripple your own cultivation, and I will allow you to live the rest of your life peacefully."
"Oh!"
Maxwell made two ohs before asking a bit excitedly: "You’re not going to avenge your son? You’re not going to avenge your little brother Fargo? You’re not going to avenge your trusted servant Bawa?"
"Maxwell..." Sebastian roared out as his aura turned into a biting cold feeling. His rage soared up and the killing intent perated the entire courtyard.
Powerful – Sebastian’s strength was truly powerful.
Maxwell was hiddenly shocked but still faintly smiled as he said to himself: "It can’t be the last boss if he weren’t powerful!"
Sebastian heavily exhaled before saying: "They have already died. Living people must keep living so that’s why I can let it go."
Maxwell was very surprised as he never imagined Sebastian would be so easygoing.
Of course, Maxwell wouldn’t believe him.
He wasn’t an idiot. Cripple his own cultivation and once again beco a trash that people could pick on?
Maxwell was truly wondering if Sebastian had been dropped on the head when he was a baby or had been struck by lightning. How could he even say such words?
But, he finally found out why he had continuously held back instead of taking him out – the beast core!
The Raging Fire Bull’s Beast core!
Maxwell realised he never laid hands on the beast core. Thinking of the scene in the past, he faintly smiled. "Looks like Constantine went up six levels continuously because of the beast’s core."
The energy of beast cores was truly powerful!
Maxwell turned around and started walking back to his room while saying: "My apologies. You can let everything go but I cannot. I will see you at the battle arena tomorrow!"
Maxwell honestly couldn’t let everything go.
When you’re playing a video ga and see a boss, can you let it go? Wouldn’t you want to find ways to kill it?
Why bother playing video gas if you see a boss and don’t kill it? Why play at all?
Maxwell will never let this go. Ignoring the boss part, just the point that Sebastian had detained Gwendolyn and Constantine was already sothing he couldn’t let go of.
Sebastian narrowed his eyes and coldly smiled. He then said in a cold tone: "You will change your mind tomorrow but by then, the conditions won’t be as simple as crippling your own cultivation."
After saying that, Sebastian walked out of the courtyard. His facial expression looked much calr and his actions much more leisurely compared to when he first ca.
"Hey boss, what did Sebastian talk to you about?" Once Sebastian left, Constantine ca out of his room and yawned while scratching his bald head.
Maxwell smiled, "Nothing much, quickly go back to sleep."
Suddenly, Maxwell rembered sothing and casually asked: "Do you have the Raging Fire Bull’s Beast core?"
"Uh? Boss, while I was absorbing the blood mana, an orb-like stone was sucked in as well. I didn’t know what it was, so it’s called a beast core? Right now it’s within my body but I don’t know how to take it out." Constantine answered earnestly.
Maxwell smiled, "Don’t worry about it then, go back to sleep!"
Dawn, the sky started to light up.
Sebastian stood in his courtyard looking up at the faintly bright skies without moving.
A while later, a black shadow landed.
A person of a similar age to Sebastian stood in the courtyard. His eyes had a defined look to them while he gave off a strong silver rank aura.
Castro Household Lord, Owen Castro!
At the peak level 3 silver rank, his strength was also extrely powerful.
Owen glanced up into the sky as well but found it boring. "Sebastian, I had soone put the drug you gave into the food source of the beast. Can you tell what the drug is for now?"
Sebastian faintly smiled and stopped looking at the sky. "Aphrodisiac. Just a little bit and it will cause a virgin to go out of control."
"An aphrodisiac!"
A sudden thought hit Owen as he recalled the bucketful of aphrodisiac. His mind then felt shocked as he incredulously asked: "What would happen to the Volcanic Gecko if it consud so much aphrodisiac?"
Sebastian’s smile turned cold, and he said, "It will change into a below Gold rank spawned beast!"
Owen’s eyes trembled as he felt shocked by those words!
Sebastian was too sinister!
---
The night went by peacefully, but beneath this peace were hidden undercurrents.
Sebastian was secretly planning everything.
This ti, not only would he get the beast core, but he was going to make Maxwell suffer complete devastation to the point where his soul would fade. Maxwell wouldn’t even be able to enter hell even if he wanted to!
Early morning.
Maxwell washed up before bringing Constantine with him towards the direction of the battle arena.
"Constantine, have you seen that girl?"
"The Lady? I haven’t seen her yet, perhaps she left before us."
"Oh..." Maxwell couldn’t help feeling sothing ominous.
"Hahaha... Maxwell, I’ll be cheering for you today. I happened to put my entire life savings on you so don’t let down." Malachi laughed as he ca up.
At his side, there was a man who nodded towards Maxwell with a smile.
Austin Gryphon, the Gryphons’ Household Lord.
Maxwell also politely smiled back but didn’t walk up to greet him.
At this ti, a male who looked like an ordinary civilian ran up to Maxwell and handed him sothing. "Soone wanted to give you this."
Maxwell opened it up and his expression imdiately changed. His entire body erupted into rage, "Sebastian!"
