Hulk!

A trillion!

The crowd started laughing while even Arianna began to frown.

But Maxwell merely smiled in response.

His smile was different to others that were laughing and smiling in ridicule. Maxwell's smile contained an excitement that couldn't be described in words. He then thought: "Who would've imagined the Hulk Sword had arrived in this world as well."

"This guy isn't just an idiot, he's completely bonkers."

"A dilapidated sword selling for a trillion? He's definitely an idiot who enjoys blabbing nonsense."

"Who the hell would buy a crappy looking sword filled with rust?"

Some of the people in the surrounding crowd were irritated by hearing Godfrey's words.

Godfrey ignored the crowd as usual and only seriously looked at Maxwell. He then said to himself, "It looks like this human is different from the others."

Inside his heart, Maxwell was really different.

Maxwell's attention landed on his sword first and not himself.

And Maxwell's gaze showed a sense of familiarity.

There also seemed to be a blaze ignited in Maxwell's eyes as he looked at the Hulk Sword. Seeing that fiery glance of Maxwell, Godfrey could tell he was excited. The gaze was similar to when one saw a divine-type weapon.

In the Silver Sea...

This sword was actually a Divine weapon!

When Maxwell sat on the ground, he just kept on asking questions, whether Godfrey responded or not.

From the tone of his voice, Godfrey could tell the excitement in Maxwell.

And the reason why he didn't respond was that he was hungry. He was extremely hungry. He was so hungry that he didn't even have the energy to answer. He was trying to preserve his energy because speaking also wasted a lot of it.

He had to continue living because there were a lot of things he hadn't done yet.

So he didn't respond because he had to preserve his energy!

There was another reason.

Maxwell didn't directly give him any money, but gave Arianna something to pawn for money to buy buns.

Pawning an item showed Godfrey that Maxwell didn't have any money. Since he was willing to pawn an item, it showed that Maxwell was a good person, or at least was a good person amongst the humans. When the steaming hot buns were brought over, Godfrey felt warmth from his actions. This was the first time Godfrey felt warmth since he arrived at the Capital City.

This feeling gave him a sense of being a part of a family.

This happened to remind him of his hometown. At this moment, Godfrey clenched his fists before eating even faster. Mouthfuls of meat buns were being swallowed down at a crazy rate, while the corner of his eyes was slightly damp. He wasn't sure if he was touched by Maxwell's actions or if he missed his hometown.

Arianna was off to the side with a slight frown as if she was thinking of something.

After a while...

Her expression turned serious. She then stared at the rusted sword with some chains locked around the handle and softly said: "Hulk Divine Sword. The demon race's divine weapon. A divine weapon ranked 9th in the weapon's chart. Could it be that..."

Her voice was very soft...

Because she didn't dare to continue speaking. Upon seeing Maxwell's excited look, Arianna asked herself internally, "Could it be that this damn scoundrel knew about it right from the start? The Hulk Divine Sword is something not many people know about, so how does he know?"

"This damn scoundrel seems very mysterious!"

There aren't many people who know the existence of the Hulk Divine Sword, and there are even fewer people who have seen it.

Because it's the demon race's number one divine weapon.

Moreover, not many people in the demon race know of its existence either. Hulk is capable of recognising its master, so if the master leaves, it will disappear along with them. Only when the next master shows up will Hulk appear in this world again.

No one in the demon race knows its whereabouts.

Suddenly, a commotion arose in the crowd.

At a nearby store, the tray of buns the elderly couple had made was flipped over, causing those two to start shaking in fear.

"You old bastards, when are you guys going to pay this month's protection fees?"

"If you two don't pay up today, I'll dismantle your old bones right here!"

Two men in black robes shouted at the elderly couple while stomping down on the steam trays.

The elderly couple was shaking as they pulled out the silver that Arianna had given them earlier.

Before it was fully pulled out, one of the burly guys snatched it over. His expression turned grim as he shouted, "A hundred silver currency?!"

"You damn old fogies; yesterday you said you didn't have any money! Since you don't have any money, where did this 100 silver currency come from?! Do you really think our Gang are vegetarians if we don't demonstrate our powers?!"

After saying that...

The burly guy slapped out his palm.

The elderly male was immediately struck and spat out a mouthful of blood, almost fainting from the severe pain.

"Something looks interesting up ahead."

"Enough bullshitting with these old bastards, and let's go take a look."

The old man then crawled over and grabbed the burly guy with the money: "Great Lord, the protection fee is only 10 silver coins, and you took 100 from me. Could you please give me back the change? My son is sick and needs that money for medicine."

"Humph!"

"You damn old fogey; this 100 silver is the fee for my emotional loss from being lied to yesterday. As for your son being sick... What the hell does that have to do with me?! You'd better remove your hands from me, or else I'll stomp you to death!" The burly guy angrily grunted.

The old woman grabbed the old man and said while crying, "Let go! Let go! If you don't let go, you could lose your life! Do you want to end up just like Bonnie, who's been stuck lying on the bed all this time?!"

Their son was beaten to the point of being half-paralysed because of a dispute with the Tiger Gang.

The old man clenched his teeth. Upon thinking of his son, flames of anger appeared in his eyes, but he still removed his hands.

If he were to be injured right now, what would happen to his wife and son?

"Scram aside!"

"Scram!"

"The Prince of the Tiger Gang has arrived! Quickly move aside! Move aside!"

Suddenly...

Six people in long black robes with a tiger emblem sewn on their chests arrived.

The six of them had an extremely arrogant look on their faces.

The person in the lead was called Erik, and was the Tiger Gang's Prince.

Waving his fan and sauntering along, he had the complete look of a second-generation profligate son. His face was filled with absolute arrogance as he swaggered before the crowd.

Seeing how there was a crowd of people gathered here, Erik snapped closed his fan and shouted: "Let's go take a look and see who dares to make trouble in my territory!"

The crowd quickly dispersed.

They lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at Erik while walking away.

This entire street was a territory of the Tiger Gang, and they were considered the overlord here.

The chaos in the northern city was pretty much out of control.

Nearly every street would be controlled by one gang or another. Apart from some main streets being peaceful, nearly all the side streets would have some type of warfare going on each day. People dying here was very normal, and the government didn't really care too much about it.

And this place...

Happens to be the best place for a foreigner to rise and make a name for themselves.

The law of the jungle demonstrated itself to the fullest here. As long as you were strong enough and had enough courage, you could take your share of the pie here. The northern city could even act as your springboard and launch you into the status of a noble aristocrat!

The force of the Tiger Gang in the northern city wasn't weak.

And they've enjoyed a stable position here for over two years.

---

When the crowd dispersed, only Maxwell, Arianna, and Godfrey were left.

What happened at the store selling buns was seen by the three of them.

Arianna was the angriest. She then shouted at Erik: "How could you treat them like that?! They are elderly people! I want you to return the money to them and apologise!"

"Hahaha..."

"Hahaha... You want our Gang to apologise? Is your brain filled with shit?"

Godfrey had a cold expression as he asked Maxwell: "Should I kill them all?"
