This roar caused the entire Gillette manor to shake violently.

Inside the main hall.

Maxwell walked to the entrance of the main hall, and his eyes tightened. He then said, "We need to try our best to escape. You all in here also need to find a way to get away while I go out and delay them as long as I can."

"Enough of the nonsense and quickly go!"

After ordering them, Maxwell then shouted: "Ghost Steps!"

Like a shadow blending with the wind, his speed was raised to the maximum as he rushed towards the Gillette Household's main entrance.

"Boss!"

Constantine followed without hesitation.

Austin faintly smiled and said, "My life was given back to me by the Gillette Household to escape at a time like this, would I still be considered a human being?"

Malachi started laughing out loud and shouted, "So what if I die? It's not like I haven't died before! The day my household was annihilated was the day I had already died once. This half a month I've lived is already considered extra! Today I'll experience an enjoyable battle to the death, hahaha..."

At this moment...

Everyone in the main hall followed in Maxwell's footsteps and rushed towards the main entrance.

It wasn't only them.

The entire Gillette Household, including the outer elite members, the senior elite members, the women and the elderly, all came.

This was their home, their Gillette Household.

Even if the enemy was stronger and their forces larger, they still wouldn't bend a knee to them. And they would never escape with their tails between their legs because this place was their home.

This was the cohesive strength of a united Household!

Everyone had witnessed the actions of Maxwell for the past month. They were thoroughly convinced by Maxwell and had sincerely viewed him as the Lord of the Gillette Household.

Now that the Gillette Household was experiencing a crisis and Maxwell wanted to shoulder everything alone, how could they agree to it?

Maxwell was their pillar, so there's no way they would allow him to shoulder this alone. If they were to die, they would rather die together!

Elderly people, women, children, and even the disabled were coming from everywhere, armed with various weapons. Some had hoes on them, some with wooden sticks, and some even took the ladle from the latrine that was usually used to scoop out the shit. They were similar to the ocean tide converging towards the main entrance.

Their momentum shook the heavens!

Maxwell turned around to look at his people, and his body tensed up. He then said with heartache: "Why did you all follow me to your death?"

"Our Lord, the Gillette Household is encountering a crisis, so we shall meet it together."

"Boss, aren't they just the Emporium Academy? What's so great about them? An academy that grooms an asshole murderer like Charlie can't be good."

"Let's fight it out with them!"

Maxwell was moved by them, but he clearly understood the Gillette Household's situation. There's a high chance that the entire Household will be annihilated!

The main entrance of the Gillette Household was in ruins as both sides of the walls were pretty much torn down. Outside stood all the Emporium Academy members with cold and proud expressions, as if they were superior to everyone.

Seeing how the entire Gillette Household had come out like an ocean tide, the Emporium Academy members were briefly surprised before revealing a cold sneer of disdain.

"Hey! Do you see that one holding a spoon? Hahaha..."

"Look over there, there's one that has a crippled leg!"

"Damn man, they're all crackpots! Could this place be where all the trash hangs out?"

"This is too funny, hahaha..."

Voices of ridicule and scorn were continuously heard.

These people were looking down at everyone in Eden City from the bottom of their hearts. Even if some of those Emporium Academy members had come from small cities like this, their hearts had been completely changed by living in the Academy.

This kind of mentality was similar to city dwellers looking down on those who came from the rural villages.

The disdain they felt came from deep inside their heart!

Lena noticed Maxwell come out and immediately spoke up: "Duke Godfrey, he's Maxwell, the murderer who killed Dustin and Luis."

Godfrey's eyes tightened as his clenched jaws gave off cracking sounds. He then stepped out with a stomp.

Below his foot was a mass of white energy that was visible to the naked eye. The powerful white energy rippled out and made a buzzing sound before his body disappeared into thin air.

Suddenly, a roar sounded out from the void: "Maxwell, give me back my son's life!"

Before the voice even faded, Godfrey's extremely powerful punch struck forth.

The air was immediately compressed, followed by an explosive power slamming forth. The power of this force was too fierce since the strength of a Gold rank was at a terrifying level. Maxwell was unable to even react at all.

His pupils shrank, and he unconsciously protected his mind.

"Bam!"

The punch slammed onto Maxwell's chest.

The internal organs behind his chest immediately suffered pain as if the world was ending, and both his mind and his sea of consciousness were shaking from the impact. Maxwell was similar to a bullet leaving the barrel as he flew off dozens of meters before smashing against a wall. The wall had caved in, and spider web cracks quickly spread to the surrounding area.

In just a breath of time...

The section of the wall collapsed, and Maxwell was buried in rubble.

Pain! Very painful; extremely painful!

This punch to Maxwell was simply too powerful!

The huge difference in strength had pissed him off. The flames of rage inside him instantly lit up, while cracking sounds were heard from him clenching his jaws so hard. He was now angry to the max! It was also at this time that an ice-cold voice was heard in his mind.

"Boss!"

"My Lord!"

"Maxwell!"

Godfrey's strength at the peak of the Gold rank was simply too strong. No one present was able to react at all until the wall had collapsed. Only then did everyone feel like their hearts had risen to their throats before numerous people rushed towards Maxwell.

"Humph! Killing you with a punch will be considered letting you off lightly." Godfrey was confident in himself, so he only used 80% of his strength on the punch. This was more than enough to kill Maxwell, who was still a silver rank.

Immediately after, Godfrey's anger didn't diminish at all as he angrily shouted: "Listen up! Kill every single Gillette Household member for me! Kill them all and burn them all! I want the entire household and everyone in Eden City to be buried along with my son! Not even a blade of grass will be allowed to re-grow!"

Killing aura; an unparalleled amount of powerful killing aura!

The pain of experiencing his son's death had made him completely crazy! Who was he?

He was a Duke of The Emporium Academy!

He had absolute power over everyone in this small City. Destroying a small city like this was considered nothing to him but a wave of his hand.

He wanted to kill; he wanted to make Eden City become a city of the dead!

For a brief moment, the entire city had entered a crisis!

"Hold on!"

A voice was suddenly heard.

Within the rubble, Maxwell patted off the dust on his body and slowly stood up. One step at a time, he walked away from the collapsed wall. His face was a bit pale, but he maintained a calm expression.

"He didn't die?"

"He actually managed to survive!"

"This kid was able to directly resist the Duke's attack head-on? What the hell is going on?"

Everyone's expression was distorted and ugly, looking like they had just swallowed a fly. Even they, as proud members of the Emporium Academy, wouldn't be able to resist Godfrey's punch head-on.

Godfrey's expression was the ugliest of them all. The flames of rage inside him were similar to someone pouring gasoline onto it, as it directly burst from his heart to his mind. "This is absurd!"

Maxwell walked forward with eyes flashing, killing intent as he shouted: "Your son was killed by me, your nephew was killed by me, and your dogshit Emporium Academy's number one student of the outer court, Charlie, was also killed by me. Because they all deserved death!"

"Indiscriminate killing of the innocent, that's the reason why they deserved to die!"

Rage; complete and utter rage that rose to the heavens.

Every single person from the Emporium Academy was enraged to the max. They all coldly glared at Maxwell with thick killing intent rippling out of their bodies.

What was Maxwell planning on doing?

No one knew, except for an inconspicuous person in the corner. A brief light flashed in the eyes of that person dressed in a black cloak with an icy, cold expression.
