"Slap!"

A loud slapping sound was heard.

"Bam!"

Ben was instantly smashed flying. He landed on his face, causing his mouth to be shifted at an odd angle, blood seeping from his mouth, and several teeth falling out.

Ben was completely enraged.

He opened his bloody mouth and was about to start cursing out a storm...

When at this time, Maxwell viciously stepped on his face and angrily asked: "You damn little midget, you want to keep blabbing on again? I'm too lazy to listen to you, so I'll only ask you one thing: Where is my little brother?"

A brief flash appeared in Maxwell's eyes.

His eyes contained an icy, cold killing intent.

After that, he slightly let off the pressure from his right leg. Ben gasped for air first before glaring at Maxwell and cursing: "I'm not going to let a damn human like you off! People come, kill him for me! Kill..."

Maxwell didn't wait for him to finish his words, and his right leg stomped directly down. Half of Ben's face was now smooshed into the wet, muddy ground, giving him quite an embarrassing image.

"Obediently respond to my question! If you dare to spout another sentence of bullshit again, I'll directly send you off to the afterlife!" Maxwell coldly glared at him, his eyes looked like he was going to eat him alive.

At this time, the so-called Iron Blood Corps of the gnome race had arrived while pointing their steel spears at Maxwell. One of the leaders cursed out: "You damn despicable human, let go of our Lord Ben or else don't blame us for being impolite to you!"

Maxwell sneered like he didn't hear a thing. He lowered his body and asked again: "I'm going to ask you again, so you better answer me, or else I'm really going to kill you!"

Maxwell's tone of voice was very low.

Ben started smiling ferociously before shouting, "Kahn, kill him for me!"

Ben thought Maxwell was afraid of them all.

He had presumed that this was the gnome race's territory, so there's no way the human would dare to kill him.

He also thought that, as the gnome race's official minister, Asher would not let him die.

He thought that with the Iron Blood Corps nearby, he could act however he wanted without any worries.

He thought that...

However, Ben was the only person imagining this as if he were living in a dream.

Maxwell lightly harrumphed while revealing the grim reaper's smile. His right fist started forming a fist before aiming at Ben's head and smashing down. "Did you really think I wouldn't dare to kill you?"

"Bam!"

Ben's head was instantly smashed open. Blood flew everywhere and splattered onto Maxwell's face.

Instantly killed by a punch!

"Crackle!"

"Congratulations to player Maxwell Gillette for killing Ben."

"Reward: 1 XP, 1 mana"

"Congratulations to player Maxwell Gillette for gaining a wind-attribute beast core."

"Congratulations to player Maxwell Gillette for gaining a thunder attributed beast core."

"Crackle!"

"Badge +1."

A series of system notifications sounded off in Maxwell's mind.

Maxwell didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He then spat on Ben's corpse on the ground before cursing: "You only gave me one single XP? At least I got a badge, so that will be considered my consolation prize."

"Huh?"

"Wait a minute; the gnome race also increases my badge?" Maxwell was a bit surprised by this. Excitement also rose inside his heart when he thought about the Dragon Titan Technique, but he managed to suppress his killing intent.

This was his first time getting a single XP from killing a monster.

The XP wasn't much, but the loot that exploded out was quite good. They were all beast cores with attributes. The only unfortunate thing was that Maxwell didn't get the wood and water-attribute beast cores he needed. But this also reinforced his belief that the gnome race definitely had the beast cores he wanted.

Such a low-level monster would give him so many attributed beast cores; then what items would the corpse of a boss explode out with?

He was really looking forward to it!

Maxwell's move made the surrounding area immediately silent.

Even a pin drop could be heard!

There was absolutely not a sound!

Over these thousands of years, no human has entered their territory nor dared to kill a gnome race member. Didn't this human, before their eyes, know of the treaty between the gnome race and the human race? Didn't this human know how much the gnome race hated humans?

Daring to kill a gnome race member inside their own territory, was this guy a lunatic?

This guy wasn't far from his own doom!

"He actually killed Lord Ben..."

"This human actually killed Lord Ben."

"This damn human actually killed a member of our gnome race in our own territory."

Each voice was louder than the next. Eventually, the eyes of all the gnome race present looked like they could spout fire. Their eyes glared with such hatred that it was like Maxwell slept with their sister and tasted their mother!

Their gaze was similar to wanting to eat someone alive.

Maxwell shrugged his shoulders and casually said, "This guy deserved his death. Besides, I did give him a chance, but he didn't take it, and he kept challenging my bottom line. For a person like him who didn't cherish their own lives, I can only send him along to a better place."

Maxwell's stature wasn't that tall.

But when standing amongst the gnome race that was only half a meter in height, the saying that a crane standing amongst chickens couldn't be used anymore. He was more like an elephant amongst chickens right now.

He was like a giant.

How could a giant fear little midgets?

So what if the midgets looked fierce? If they dared to act arrogantly, a single slap would send them to their deaths.

Of course, Maxwell didn't want to do this. He didn't have any deep grudges with these cute and narcissistic gnomes. Even if he was able to gain more undefeatable values, he didn't want to become some type of crazy serial killer. If he had no qualms about it, he would've done that already in Eden City.

If he had massacred a few hundred thousand people, he could've gained whatever bloodline he wanted.

This was something Maxwell couldn't do.

He was capable of pinching all the soft persimmons around him, but he would only pinch his enemies.

"Furthermore..."

Maxwell cleared his throat. He looked at the gnome race inching closer towards him and took a few steps back before saying: "He was holding your gnome race's prince as a hostage, which is considered a serious crime. I was merely punishing him on your behalf. You guys should be thanking me for getting rid of an evil official."

"Nonsense!"

"What qualifications does a human like you have to exercise such rights?"

"Go together and kill him! We shall avenge Lord Ben!"

At this time, the gnome race was like a dense colony of ants rushing towards Maxwell.

Don't look down on how short these gnomes were. Their cultivation levels weren't weak as they continuously released their powers.

Maxwell retreated backwards and shouted: "Don't force me to make a move!"

"The human is scared!"

"A lowly race like his dares to act unbridled in our territory?"

Many gnomes continuously landed in front of Maxwell and started displaying their powerful techniques. Maxwell didn't fight back, which caused the anger inside him to keep rising higher.

Not very far away, above the palace's main hall.

Asher narrowed his eyes, and a brief nefarious light flashed in them. There was a slight curve on his lips as he said to himself: "I couldn't find the King's Seal, but the appearance of this human might be a good opportunity for me to take over."

Asher coldly chuckled.

Immediately after, Asher said in a low voice, "Axel, send out some of our men and force that human to the brink of death. Force him to make a move and start killing; it'll be best if he causes blood to flow like a river. Then I'll appear to clean up the mess. By that time, the entire gnome race will thank me and treat me as the gnome race's hero. Then I won't need that damn King's Seal anymore, hahaha..."
