"Damn dog bastard, do you know who my uncle is?!"

Even though his face was beaten to resemble a pig's head, Powell still maintained his arrogance.

Because he knew...

Once he mentions his uncle's name, and as long as they were in the Great Capital's territory, no one would dare to mess with him.

Maxwell stopped and pretended to be very serious while asking: "Who is your uncle?"

"Humph!"

"Damn dog bastard, listen up! My uncle is the Minister of Internal Affairs supervisor in the Capital City, the leader of all civil officials, Antony Hernandez!" Powell said proudly. And when his red eyes saw how shocked Maxwell looked, he then said in a contemptuous tone: "Damn dog bastard, are you scared now? If you're scared, you'd better kneel and start kowtowing or else..."

"Hey..."

"Hey..."

"Kid, what are you planning on doing?"

"My uncle is Antony Hernandez, an expert at King rank. If you dare to continue hitting me, my uncle won't let you off. He will kill everyone from your Gillette Household and then make everyone in this city disappear forever." Said Powell with a look of horror on his face.

Because Maxwell was smiling fiercely, the killing intent exuding from him became stronger as he shouted while punching forth: "What kind of old dog is Antony Hernandez? I don't even know who he is!"

"Bam!"

"Threatening me, huh?"

"Bam!"

"King rank is so awesome, huh?"

"Bam!"

"I'll advise you: The thing I hate the most is being threatened. Someone like you dares to provoke my Household? You can go to hell for me!" Maxwell clenched his fist before accurately smashing down onto Powell's forehead.

"Hahaha..."

Powell started laughing wildly before shouting, "Kid, my uncle will not let you off! You will accompany me to the burial! Your Household and everyone in this city will accompany me to the burial! Kill me, and none of you can continue living!"

He was still acting arrogantly!

And still trying to threaten Maxwell!

Who was Antony Hernandez?

Maxwell had no clue, but when those women downstairs heard the name Antony Hernandez, they immediately started trembling. The fear they were feeling right now was even stronger than facing Maxwell. Their faces were pale white, and their teeth were chattering loudly enough to be heard.

Let's not mention the cultivation rank.

Just the leader of all civil officials was a position that was at the very top of the government.

It was basically an existence that could do anything they wanted inside the Nation.

The most terrifying thing was that Antony Hernandez's daughter was the current King's consort. This meant he was titled as a Statesman, an in-law connected to royal lineage. This was something everyone in the Nation knew about.

Maxwell was a transmigrator.

He didn't have any irrelevant information in his memories, so he had no clue who that Antony Hernandez was.

Even if he did know, he wouldn't care!

"The consequences of threatening me are death!" Maxwell then heavily smashed down.

Watching the fist about to descend, Powell's face was pale white in fear. There was no longer any arrogance in him as he started pleading: "Don't, don't, don't kill me! What do you want? I'll give it to you! I won't take a single step into Eden City ever again! Arghhh..."

Maxwell's fist did not stop.

"Bam!"

It was heavily smashed down.

Powell's head was smashed into mush. His body twitched a few times before it flopped over lifeless.

"Crackle!"

"Congratulations to player Maxwell Gillette for killing Joel Powell."

"Reward: 1000 XP, 300 mana."

"Congratulations to player Maxwell Gillette for gaining 3 upgrade elements."

"Congratulations to the player..."

The loot explosion only gave several minor items.

These things no longer entered the eyes of Maxwell. He barely glanced at those upgrade elements that cost over 10,000 gold because on him were several spatial rings and Zero space storage that contained many attributed beast cores. Just randomly taking out a single one of them would be worth 10 – 100 of these low-quality upgrade elements.

A glob of phlegm was spat upon Powell's corpse.

His corpse was then kicked flying out and landing onto the main street outside. Maxwell coldly shouted: "Touching those of my Household members was simply courting death!"

An uproar was heard by the pedestrians on the street.

"Powell is dead!"

"The head of the Wet bandits has died, hahaha..."

"The damn bastard has finally died."

"Hero, hero, you're simply too powerful! You've removed a scourge from our City, so all the people of the city sincerely thank you!"

"Screw thanking him!"

"Maxwell, I know you're awesome, very powerful, and can kill without blinking an eye. But can you think of us normal civilians for a second? He is the nephew of Antony Hernandez! Who is Antony Hernandez? He is the current supervisor of internal affairs, a senior Statesman. After killing his nephew, do you think any of us in Eden City can continue living?"

Suddenly, everyone shivered...

Without saying a single word.

The words from that person made their hearts fall into an abyss. They then quickly started running away.

"We can't stay in Eden City anymore."

"This city is going to be wiped out. No matter how high your cultivation is, offending the current internal affairs supervisor means your life is over. The Nation has stood strong for over ten thousand years; even those super-strong sects and guilds can't shake it. We, little common civilians, definitely cannot afford to offend them."

Maxwell became depressed.

An originally happy occasion that the city could celebrate had suddenly turned into this. His heart turned gloomy as he muttered, "Is an old dog like Antony Hernandez really that terrifying? If he dares touch Eden City, I'm going to turn that old dog into a dead dog."

Also at this time, all the Gillette Household members rushed over.

When they saw Powell's corpse on the ground, they all broke out into smiles and weren't like the civilians around the area.

"What a good kill, boss!"

"So what if he's the nephew of Antony Hernandez? This kind of beast deserved his death."

"Boss, we all support you!"

Maxwell's figure moved, and he lightly descended from the second floor. He faintly smiled in front of them before saying, "Your cultivation levels have been progressing quite rapidly these months; it's been tough on you guys."

"Hahaha..."

"Boss, your cultivation speed is practically going against the heavens! Since you were able to kill Powell at the level 6 diamond rank, your cultivation level must have reached the King rank, right?"

Maxwell smiled and replied: "I'm just off by a bit."

Everyone had shocked expressions on their faces.

Just off by a bit?!

In a short ten months, he went from Silver rank to a place where he was a bit away from the King rank. This kind of speed was even more terrifying than describing it as going against the heavens!

Suddenly, the worries in their hearts were all swept away as they felt that Antony Hernandez wasn't that impressive anymore. At least in their opinion, they didn't need to be afraid of Maxwell around!

Everyone returned to the Gillette Manor.

Deep into the night.

Within a certain courtyard of the Gillette Household.

Maxwell excitedly asked, "Constantine and Brenda already went to the Capital City?"

Austin nodded and replied: "Ehn, that kid Constantine's cultivation speed is so fast that we can't even follow in his footsteps. Eight months ago, he had already broken through into the Gold rank. Even I couldn't imagine this was possible."

"Before he left, he told me to leave a message for you that he'll be heading to the Capital City first to carve out his own territory. Then he will wait for you to save Brenda's mother together."

Maxwell lightly smiled and mumbled: "Constantine; he thinks the Capital is that easy to handle?"

The capital was a place where the true experts gathered, and a Gold ranker was considered nothing. Maxwell couldn't help but start worrying about Constantine.

Not long after...

Austin hiddenly frowned and said: "My Lord, you've killed Powell and now you're heading to the capital... I'm afraid your trip will be filled with danger. If the news that Powell has died arrives at the capital, most likely..."

Maxwell's mouth curved into a smile and said, "Austin, before I go to the capital, I'm going to swing by the Wet Guild to clear out all obstacles for the Gillette Household!"
