Arianna had a lost expression on her face.

After thinking for a few seconds, she then said unhappily, "How did I screw you over? How did I cause a huge disaster? I was helping you out, yet you don't appreciate it. If it wasn't me making an appearance, you would've started fighting with the officials already. Do you even know the consequences of killing government officials in the Capital City?"

She was helping Maxwell.

At least that was what she was thinking.

Constantine and Godfrey also thought this was the case.

Maxwell smiled while shaking his head. "What you did will only make this matter even more complicated. It's actually easier for me to just kill them all in one go. Do you really think a single word from you and that David won't say a thing?"

"I'm afraid this very moment he has already left the northern city towards the royal palace to report it."

"Taking out your jade plate means revealing your identity. It won't be long before a large group of Palace Guards will be rushing here. There'll probably be a large swath of experts from the Evans Kingdom as well. You'll be fine, but we'll be dying because of you."

"We have all become the culprits involved in kidnapping the Princess."

"Sigh..."

Maxwell knows that Arianna only wanted to help him.

But he would rather kill David and all his people instead of having her take out her jade plate and revealing her identity.

It was very clear that...

The news of her being in the northern city would quickly spread. At that time, not only would the government know, but there were also people of the Cold Sea Sect and maybe even some assassins would rush over. They will all be thrown into quite a difficult mess by that time.

These types of issues could easily be deduced when someone puts a little effort into their thoughts, but Arianna...

Women...

Was their intelligence really affected if they had large breasts?

"Princess?!"

"Princess?!"

Constantine and Godfrey looked at Arianna with shock.

They both then asked in unison: "Boss, she's the Princess you kidnapped?"

Maxwell rolled his eyes at them before saying to Arianna: "You are the Princess, so no one will dare to do anything to you, but we're different. You ran away because you wanted to avoid your marriage, so even if you explained that to your father, it would still be hard for us to escape our deaths."

"The reason is that someone needs to be responsible for such a big incident, and we happen to be the sacrifice."

Arianna had run away from a forced marriage.

And the Evans Kingdom didn't want to offend the Cold Sea Sect.

Therefore, someone needs to be held responsible. The entire city knows the Princess was kidnapped, so Maxwell and company were the perfect sacrificial lambs.

To appease the Cold Sea Sect, Maxwell and company will have to die.

Except...

Maxwell didn't know that the moment he and Arianna entered the city, their presence was already made known. Every movement they have made thus far has been taken notice of by an expert in the depths of the royal palace.

It's unknown why...

The King didn't send anyone over, which is worth pondering over!

Hearing Maxwell's logical deductions, Arianna's head flopped down a bit while her small mouth formed a pout. She was just like a child who had done something wrong. "I'm sorry; I didn't think that far ahead. I only wanted to help you... I'm sorry."

Since things had come to this point, Maxwell didn't want to continue blaming her. After all, she was intending to help him. Maxwell faintly smiled and said, "Never mind, let's go back and finish our dinner. The food will get cold if we don't eat it now."

"Ehn!"

Arianna nodded and didn't dare to look Maxwell in the eye because she was still a bit scared.

Arianna went back into the house.

A frown appeared on Maxwell's face. "Godfrey, you will guard this place tonight."

Godfrey nodded and said, "Understood!"

Maxwell then looked at Constantine and asked, "Where's Brenda?"

Constantine responded with a faint startlement: "Staying where I currently live. She was so happy when she found out you had arrived in the Capital City and... She should be sleeping at this time."

Maxwell was somewhat reassured and said, "We'll bring her back here in a bit. I'm afraid this location isn't a place we should stay for too long now. We need to make some preparations and send Brenda away before morning comes. There's also your subordinates – those who can leave should all leave. There's no use for them to stay around and accompany us to their deaths."

"Ehn!"

Constantine nodded.

Maxwell looked up at the night sky and felt a sense of thick murderous intent.

---

Just like Maxwell deduced...

David was in deep thought as he retreated.

Suddenly...

Maxwell's appearance looked kind of familiar and was plaguing his mind. Only when he reached the entrance to his house did he finally realise who he was. He was the criminal wanted for kidnapping the Princess, which meant the Princess was in his hands!

Thinking to this point...

David's expression drastically changed. He didn't bother changing his clothes and immediately rushed off to the Internal Affairs Minister's manor.

How come it's not the royal palace?

Because he was not qualified. He had to first report this to the Internal Affairs Minister, Antony Hernandez.

Deep into the night...

Antony's brows faintly tightened while a brief, chilled light flashed in his eyes. "I didn't expect him to be hiding in the Capital City. He has truly given me a tough time searching for him."

"Old master, it's time to avenge your cousin's death." Adviser John softly said from the side.

Antony's gaze became stern as he said, "Have Sean and them make a move. Make sure they remember to make that kid's death extremely miserable. Touching the nephew of I, Antony means you won't be able to enter through the gates of hell."

Adviser John's gaze became secretly happy as he said, "I will get Sean and them right now."

Inside the royal palace...

Adam was excited.

"Hahaha..."

"I already knew my idol was extraordinary. The most dangerous place is the safest – how come I've never thought of that? Who would've guessed that they were inside the Capital City all this time? Most likely, the huge ruckus in the northern city was caused by him as well. Good, good, good!"

Adam was very excited. Just thinking of Maxwell and his blood, I couldn't help but start boiling.

Looking up at the sky...

He was too antsy to keep waiting and started rushing off in the direction of the northern city.

Following behind him were two terrifyingly strong experts!

---

"Is it for real?"

"He's really in the northern city?"

Lilith was just like Adam, who became instantly excited.

She quickly put on her clothes and revealed a sultry gaze. She then muttered, "You bastard, this older sister wants to battle 3000 rounds with you!"

---

In some corner of the Capital City.

"Reporting to senior brother: The location of Princess Lasting Peace has been found, and there's also that kidnapper."

Viktor Baldur's lips formed a slight grin as he coldly said, "We've found them at last. Snatching my woman? I would like to see how many heads you can lose to compete with me!"

Immediately after...

Viktor's figure turned illusory before suddenly disappearing.

---

Maxwell and Constantine were continuously shuttling through many dark alleyways at high speeds.

Suddenly...

Sounds of fighting were heard not too far away.

The constant sounds of fighting were very normal in the northern city. This would play out pretty much every single night, so there wasn't any need to make a fuss about it.

But...

There would occasionally be sounds of a dragon's roar during the fighting!

Maxwell came to a stop as his brows formed a frown. He then shouted: "Ghost Dragon's aura! It's Ghost Dragon's roars!"

"Something happened to Brenda!"

Constantine's expression underwent a drastic change.

Maxwell clenched his fists as his speed was raised to the max while rushing out.

---

Ghost Dragon.

It was he who found Brenda in Eden and brought her to see Maxwell on his back.

Just prior...

He fought with his life on the line to protect Brenda, but...

---

Rewinding for a bit – when Maxwell and Constantine left their courtyard...

A shadowy figure appeared. The figure exploded forth with an aura of a super expert – the aura of a King Ranker!

At this time...

Godfrey toppled over into a pool of his own blood...

"Humph!"

"You think you can block me just because you have the physique of the demon race?"

"You overestimate yourself!"

"Today, everyone here has to die."

He was holding a sword, exuding a chilling light. His face revealed his disdain as he coldly glared at Godfrey, blocking the entrance.

Filled with wounds, Godfrey struggled to look up as he said, "Even if I'm overestimating my abilities, I still need to stop you."

His voice wasn't loud, but it was still filled with a powerful energy.
