Levelling Up to the King rank!

He had to level up!

Although he was able to defeat William with a blade strike, Maxwell could clearly feel the gap in strength between a Diamond ranker and a King ranker.

He had to level up to the King rank!

If William was already this strong, then Ray's strength could be easily imagined.

Moreover…

After entering the Capital City, Maxwell felt his rank was really inadequate here. A random member of the Palace Guards was already at level 2 diamond rank, so how was he going to rescue Brenda's mother with this little bit of strength of his?

Now that Brenda was kidnapped, he wanted to go rescue her.

He would go right now if he could...

But what was he going to use to rescue her?

Maxwell was very clear that this place was not like Eden City. This was the Capital City, and a Diamond ranker was no different than a lowly dog. Experts at the King rank were crawling all over this place. If one wanted to establish oneself and make one's name known to the world, one must have sufficient strength!

No one will show you leniency just because you're a Diamond ranker at a young age; they might even be more ruthless to cut off all future problems.

In the world of martial warriors, they don't split people up by their age and only differentiate them by strength.

When Maxwell suddenly asked him this, Adam's heart sank. Seeing how Maxwell's gaze was so firm, he replied: "To the west of the Capital city, about 800 kilometres away, is the Forbidden Grounds. Back then, it was a huge battlefield that had buried over ten million bodies. Those devil race members died, but their souls didn't dissipate, gradually becoming spectres. But it's extremely dangerous there because the devil race..."

"Ninth brother!"

"I have a request for you." Maxwell didn't wait for Adam to finish his sentence.

The more dangerous the place, the higher the level of the monsters was.

The higher the level, the higher the amount of XP they would give.

This was exactly what Maxwell wanted.

He needed XP really badly. If he could, he would've killed his way to the so-called Forbidden Grounds already. He would level up to the King rank, kill his way to the Ray Manor, and then rip Ray into thousands of pieces.

Adam replied: "Go ahead and say it."

Maxwell then said, "I have a little sister who was kidnapped by Ray. She's... she's of the Fur-tailed race."

Maxwell hesitated for a bit, but still revealed Brenda's identity.

He didn't want to lie to Adam.

Because Maxwell treated him like a brother.

Adam's expression changed as he excitedly asked: "A Fur-tailed girl? Idol, could it be that you came for her mother?"

He immediately thought of the huge auction in a month.

There were already rumours afloat that the auction would have a woman of the Fur-tailed race. Hearing what Maxwell had said, Adam immediately connected it to him coming here for that Fur-tailed woman.

Maxwell's expression also became a bit surprised. "So it is at an auction house… how much time is left?"

Adam replied: "There's a little over a month. The location will be at the eastern city's Great Auction House."

"A little more than a month!"

Maxwell gulped and said to himself, "It's about the same timeline for my quest. It looks like I can't just level up into the King rank; I need to go a few more levels higher than that to prepare for the auction."

The day of the auction will definitely be a tough battle.

Seeing Maxwell's expression, Adam was certain Maxwell came here for that fur-tailed race woman. His eyebrows faintly furrowed as he said in an unwilling tone: "The Great Alliance have businesses spread throughout every corner of the world. They hold one-third of the combined wealth of the entire human race. Since they hold so many resources in their hands, their influence is no worse than my kingdom. Idol, I..."

He wanted to use his status as the Ninth Prince and bring that woman out of the Great Alliance for Maxwell.

But...

Even if it were his father, the Evans Kingdom King, who tried, most likely it would still be very difficult.

After all, the Great Alliance had spread that news out already. If by that time no fur-tailed race woman was appearing, that would be similar to them slapping their own face. Therefore, no matter who it was, most likely it would be an impossible task.

Regarding this...

Adam somewhat blamed himself.

Maxwell faintly smiled and said, "Ninth brother, I will personally rescue Brenda's mother because this is a promise I made with the girl. The request I have for you is to investigate which part of the Ray Manor Brenda is being held in. It would already be great if you could secretly protect her, since there's no need for you to rescue her. There's also no need to make a move against Ray because I want to do it myself!"

"Also..."

"I hope you can take care of my fellow brothers here."

Adam nodded and said, "So it's Ray, huh? I will have Uncle John take a trip there. If he dares to make any wrong moves, I will have the Ray Manor disappear from the Capital City permanently. Idol, there's really no need for you to take action here. This is the Evans Kingdom – my cultivation isn't that high, but I still have a bit of forces behind my back."

How could the forces behind a Ninth Prince be called a bit?

His forces could practically be considered all-powerful, especially in the northern city.

He only needed to say a few words and...

Not to mention Ray, anyone in the northern city would start crawling over to meet with him.

Maxwell shook his head and said, "It's good enough that you protect her for me, and I believe her identity hasn't been seen through yet. If I haven't returned yet and Ray finds out who she really is, please help me rescue her. If she hasn't been seen through, just wait until I come back. That old fogey dared to move against my people and beat one of my brothers to death; I'm going to have him personally account for all his deeds."

In his heart...

Maxwell was clear that Brenda wanted him to personally appear to rescue her.

Maxwell didn't want to disappoint her.

Thinking of Brenda's cute face, Maxwell's heart tightened up. "Ray, you damn old fogey... You just wait for me. If Brenda misses a single hair from her!"

Maxwell insisted that he waited for him to return and settle things himself, so Adam didn't keep on insisting. He then said softly, "Uncle John, I will be bothering you with this."

"I obey!"

Within the darkness, a dark shadow flashed by.

There was only a slight release of his aura.

Maxwell's eyes widened as he shouted internally: "An expert that has surpassed a King ranker and reached the Venerate rank!"

John had deliberately released a bit of his aura.

This was also Adam's intent.

He wanted Maxwell not worry about this issue. With him around, even if the sky were to fall, he could still hold on for a bit.

Maxwell seriously cupped his fists and said: "Thank you, Ninth brother!"

Adam's expression was a bit excited as he said, "Idol, why are you being so polite with me? It's all my fault; otherwise, you wouldn't have been thrown into such a predicament. Back then, I said that I'd welcome you here with a grand ceremony, but now… sigh."

He was blaming himself a bit.

Maxwell was grateful for those words and softly whispered, "Ninth brother, your little sister Arianna doesn't know I'm the person you've been talking about. If it's possible, I hope that you don't tell her my real identity yet."

Adam was slightly surprised and smiled in response. "I understand! I thought she already knew about it, heh."

Afterwards...

Maxwell turned around and looked at Godfrey and company. "I will definitely be back in half a month. By then, you guys will accompany me in dominating the northern city!"

As his voice faded...

Maxwell leapt into the air and disappeared towards the direction of the Forbidden Grounds.

Not long after Maxwell left...

A shadow descended and glanced around the mess in the yard. Lilith looked at Adam and asked, "Senior brother, where's my lover?"
