"Extra extra, read all about it!"

"Augustus was beaten to death, and the Red Dragon Gang was established!"

"Augustus was beaten to death by a foreign bumpkin! The Red Dragon Gang is established under the eyelids of Forefather Ray!"

"Forefather Ray's Godson was beaten to death by a bumpkin from the countryside! Without the permission of Forefather Ray, the Red Dragon Gang was established..."

News was flying everywhere.

In less than a day, the entire northern city had heard about it.

On main roads and small alleyways, people were all discussing this in small tea shops and large restaurants.

"One look at those three greenhorns and you can tell they're bumpkins from the countryside. They actually dare to cause trouble in Forefather Ray's territories... In less than three days, I bet there'll be three extra corpses in the moat."

"I'm surprised there are still people here who don't fear death. Even if you want to rise the ranks, you need to take a good look at what place this is and who runs it. Augustus was a Godson that Forefather Ray favoured, so now that he was beaten to death, Forefather Ray will definitely be pissed. If he ever gets angry, I'm afraid the north district will experience a magnitude 3 earthquake."

"We'll just sit back and watch how those three will die here on out."

"Hahaha... Since the Tiger Gang was destroyed, I'm afraid Forefather Ray won't even have time to make a move before those three are sent to hell. How many gangs have been eyeing the Tiger Gang's territories? Since they were destroyed, won't those gangs just take advantage of the muddy waters to rise?"

There were various discussions and speculations among the general public.

But all conclusions lead to the same outcome – Maxwell and company were going to die!

Moreover...

Their deaths will be extremely miserable.

Inside Constantine's courtyard.

"Boss, I heard this morning that the Tiger Gang was destroyed by three foreign kids."

Constantine's body was covered in bandaged wounds. Last night he fought with the Baby Cradle Gang and suffered some injuries, but the Baby Cradle Gang had been destroyed by his group.

Brenda was off to the side playing with some goldfish inside a tank.

To the side of her was Ghost Dragon quietly guarding her. Except for its skeletal structure being larger than before, it was still expressionless like usual. Its two eyes that exuded a death aura also seemed to be stronger than before.

Constantine's brows tightened, and he said, "I wonder who it is that's so fierce? Could it be that they want to rise the ranks in the north district before they participate in the Heaven and Earth ranking battles?"

"No way!"

"The north district only has a quota of five people, so we can't let them take it away!" Constantine growled.

No matter if it was the Heaven ranking battles or the Earth ranking battles, they both needed qualifications.

As for the north district, they were only given the small quota of five people!

This was their only springboard.

This was a springboard to establishing a greater force, and was the ideal opportunity to rise up amongst the rabble.

Constantine didn't want to miss the opportunity because this was the only way he could interact with people of higher status. Only then would he be able to get some news on Brenda's mother. These past eight months, Constantine had been investigating any sort of news about her, but never heard anything back.

The only piece of news he got that was maybe related to her was that in a month and a half, there would be an auction that was on an unprecedented level.

Rumour says...

The auction would have someone of the Fur-tailed race!

In order to attain this piece of news, Constantine had paid a high price for it.

Before reuniting with his boss, Constantine had to figure out where Brenda's mother was imprisoned. He absolutely could not allow her to appear in the auction because only after reaching the Capital City did he find out how much money a mature fur-tailed woman would cost.

He didn't have enough money. Even if he earned a lifetime of money, it would still not be enough.

The only method was to rescue her before the auction began!

"I heard the Battle Sect, the Dire Wolf Sect, and several large forces will be attending. I heard they were using this opportunity to swallow the Red Dragon Gang and give Forefather Ray a good performance. Perhaps they might even be qualified to participate in the Heaven rankings battle!"

Forefather Ray is the person of the north district who controls the five quotas. Only if he nods his head will one be qualified to participate; otherwise, you can only dream of taking a step out of the northern city!

Constantine's brows furrowed before saying, "This can't go on; we can't let them seize this opportunity ahead of us. We should go stir up some trouble as well, since they can quit dreaming of taking credit in front of Forefather Ray. If I were given another month's time, I would definitely be able to carve out a piece of land belonging to me. By that time, I will definitely be able to compete for one of those quotas."

This quota was specially prepared for Maxwell.

Constantine had once said after leaving Eden City that he would take care of everything. The only thing his boss had to do was arrive at the Capital City!

"Summon our brothers; we're heading over to the Tiger Gang's headquarters!"

---

Northern city.

In a manor that was considered rather luxurious.

"Forefather, since Augustus has died, don't you think we should express some type of action?"

A person was lying on a rocking chair, smoking a hookah and puffing up clouds. Behind him were two servants gently rocking the chair for him.

On the rocking chair...

It was a male who looked like he was just skin and bones.

The male's eyes were closed and his expression calm. After puffing out some smoke, he then said in a feminine voice: "There would naturally be people taking care of those three outsiders who don't know anything. If I even have to take an action on such a simple task, why should I bother supporting those pieces of trash?"

His voice was high-pitched, just like a woman's.

One could see that this male had no Adam's apple, no beard, and barely any hair on his body.

He should be a eunuch!

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The skinny-looking man's eyes widened as he faintly said, "Over a hundred people in the Tiger Gang were killed,, so this should be considered a massacre, right? Go notify Official Antony and see if he's going to take care of the situation or not."

"Understood, I'll take care of that right now."

The skinny-looking man then said, "Those three bumpkins easily annihilated the Tiger Gang, so it looks like those three really want to rise in the northern city. Overconfident fools... Tell Ben to check it out. If the government officials can't handle it well, he can make a move himself."

"Understood."

"I'll take care of it right now!"

At the main gates of the Tiger Gang's headquarters stood four people.

Maxwell looked at the messy courtyard. Many things were either broken or shattered, making the whole place look like it was in ruins.

Once Augustus died, the rest of their members all scattered. All the valuable things in this place were taken by them, and only the manor was left in this condition.

But...

This was still considered a place for them to live.

At least it was better than sleeping under the eaves of someone's roof like last night.

The important thing was...

The northern city was a chaotic place, so the palace guards, the Black Dragon Guards, and the killers motivated by the Sea Cloud Sect shouldn't be able to find them for a short period of time. Even if they did find them, this place was where fish and dragons all mingled together and wasn't an easy place to infiltrate. That's why Maxwell decided to camp here for the time being.

They'll figure out their future after stabilising their daily needs first.

Maxwell had a little over a month to find the whereabouts of Brenda's mother.

Whether it be an auction or an under-the-table transaction, he must rescue her. This was all about the promise he made to Brenda and the prospective rewards for completing a Gold rank quest. There's also that 10,000 points of favorability...

Maxwell stepped past the entrance and said, "From today onwards, this will be our home."

"Ehn!"

Arianna nodded excitedly. She had lived in the imperial palace for over a decade and had never experienced so much excitement as these past two days. Due to this reason, she planned on hanging around with Maxwell for a few more days. She was thinking that with this kid around, there would always be excitement and surprises abound.

Godfrey silently went about the courtyard and started cleaning up the place.

Maxwell glanced at Blindman Dale and said, "Mr Prophet, you wanted to join us, right? I'll give you a chance – tidy up this place for me."

Blindman Dale was stunned. He then tapped the probing cane in his hand and said: "I'm a blind person..."

"Blind your sister!"

"Don't think I can see through it."

Blindman Dale was shocked as he lowered his eyes. He then smiled slyly: "I will go right away!"

"Despicable!"

"You can pretend to be anything, yet you pretend to be blind?!"
