At the south gates of Eden City, the moon was bright but there were barely any stars seen.

Maxwell and two others were slowly walking towards that area.

"Boss, you should bring me along," Constantine said in a worried tone.

Gwendolyn's little mouth pouted, "You should bring me along too. I will definitely not cause you any trouble."

Maxwell wanted to enter Eden alone because he was going to be like an insane demon and kill like crazy to level up.

It was solely because of this that he wanted to enter alone.

That way, he will have no restraints and can do whatever he wants.

He only had 8 days to level up to silver rank or else, fighting the above silver rank spawned beast would lead him on a path to death.

He was not going to allow Sebastian to succeed.

He wanted to see Sebastian's face when he couldn't bring out the upgrade element and see how he was going to keep his status in the Gillette Household.

He also wanted everyone in Eden City to shut their mouths!

He wanted to prove to everyone that whoever dares to mess with him, he'll make them regret ever being born in this world!

Everything required strength though!

According to Maxwell, there was only one way to increase his strength – kill monsters to level up.

Eden was extremely dangerous, with spawned monsters abounding. Even someone at the Gold rank would not dare to enter the depths. But this place to Maxwell was exactly hell and paradise at the same time!

A levelling paradise!

Maxwell lightly smiled and said: "I'm entering Eden to level up to the silver rank, so being alone is a bit better. Don't worry, no danger will befall me and also don't forget that I have those 4 iron monsters with me!"

He knew that Gwendolyn and Constantine were worried about him.

Gwendolyn bit her lips and was about to say something else when her facial expression changed. She sensed a feeling of danger as she looked off towards a certain direction.

Maxwell was the same, his mind tensed up as he stared off into the darkness.

"Where are you all planning to run off to?"

Several figures appeared from the dark. Leading the front was Sebastian and behind him were two others – Duke Fargo and Duke Collin.

With the golden glow before him, Maxwell's eyes revealed traces of greed as his heart started itching.

Every time he encountered Sebastian, Maxwell had the urge to pounce forth and start hacking. And each time he would have to suppress his urges afraid that he couldn't control himself anymore.

The temptation of the last boss was simply too big.

Fargo grinned coldly and then said with disdain: "You're not trying to run away from fear right?"

Collin had a playful look at him before he coldly said: "Running in fear is also good since we can eliminate him on the spot. Saves us from waiting another 8 days."

"Hahaha... That's right, he's gonna die by the above silver rank spawned beast's claws in 8 days anyway." Fargo laughed like a troll.

Constantine angrily roared out showing no fear at all. His eyes were glaring at Fargo as if he were the Hulk himself.

"Showing no respect to your elders!" Fargo's eyes became cold before his body moved and a slap came whistling towards Constantine.

With the release of mana, the wind in the area was kicked up. The seemingly ordinary slap to the face was actually filled with a thick energy. Even if the person didn't die from the slap, most likely they'd be left hanging by a thread.

Appearing and already wants to kill. As expected, it was an elite with a red name and will auto-attack when you get near!

There's no way Constantine could react fast enough towards a level 7 silver rank Duke.

Maxwell's eyes sank as he activated Overdrive without hesitation. His body became illusory as he directly appeared in front of Constantine and threw out a palm strike to meet the slap.

"Bam!"

The two palms filled with power collided. Maxwell's hand became numb, and his mind was in shock as he was forced to take several steps to stabilise his body. His heart sank as he said to himself: "The strength of Fargo is indeed powerful... My level with Overdrive added on isn't his opponent at all."

Fargo's body trembled and took 3 steps back before stopping. He had an ugly look on his face as shock filled his heart. "How on earth is this brat cultivating to have his strength rise up so much in just a few short days?"

The faces of Sebastian and Collin both darkened.

This was the first time they'd witnessed Maxwell make a move ever since the entrance competition. Never could they imagine that Fargo's level 7 bronze rank only had a slight edge over Maxwell. Wouldn't there be trouble if he were given more time?

In the hearts of these three, the threat Maxwell represented had reached another higher level.

At the same time, a common thought arose in their minds – this kid cannot be left alive!

"Duke Fargo, you aren't qualified to discipline my people." Maxwell calmly said as he walked forward still with momentum.

Fargo's eyes frosted over, and he was about to make another move when Sebastian stopped him.

"Maxwell, where are you planning on going? Don't forget that in 8 days, you'll have to fight an above silver rank spawned beast at the battle arena. Other than sleeping this late at night, you're not planning on running away right?" Sebastian faintly said.

"I believe you have no right to know where I'm going right? My acting Lord." Maxwell's words showed no retreat.

Those words "Acting Lord" were like thorns stabbing into Sebastian's heart. His facial expression darkened as he clenched his fists hidden by his sleeves. If it weren't for him trying to find out where the Raging Fire Bull's Beast core was, he would have exploded already.

Sebastian laughed out once before saying, "You agreed to a fight, so I must know where you're going. Or else how am I going to explain this to the entire Gillette Household?"

"Say it, where are you going? You should just give up that thought if you're planning on running away. Although our Household isn't the strongest in the Eden City, preventing a bronze rank trash from escaping is more than enough."

Maxwell's eyes changed. It was indeed correct.

His own strength was only at level 2 bronze rank, not enough to go against the Silver rank Dukes of the Gillette Household.

Every move he had made these past few days was probably known by Sebastian. His heart shook because of his own negligence.

Since this was how things had become, Maxwell no longer bothered to hide anything. He then smiled and said: "I plan on training within Eden. This isn't something against the rules or anything right?"

"Hahaha... Training in Eden? A piece of trash like you wants to train in Eden? Don't you think people would laugh their ass off if they heard about it? It looks like you're planning on running away..." Said Fargo filled with disdain.

Maxwell's eyes became cold as Fargo completely pissed him off.

Sebastian's face seemed calm as he said: "It's definitely not against the rules or anything, but what guarantees do you have that you're not planning to escape?"

"He said he's going to Eden to train, so it means he's going to train." Constantine roared out in rage.

Sebastian glared at Constantine and said in contempt: "So he says he is training so he's definitely training... What if he escapes? Are you going to guarantee he's not going to run?"

"I do guarantee it!" Constantine immediately yelled out.

Sebastian coldly laughed, "How is a servant of the Gillette Household like you qualified to make any guarantees?"

Maxwell interrupted: "Just spill it if you have something to say, stop wasting my time."

Time was precious and Maxwell didn't want to waste any of it. Not to mention there was a last boss in front constantly tempting him. He was scared that he couldn't endure it anymore and accidentally slam his fist into it, then the results would be...

Sebastian glanced at Gwendolyn before saying: "I don't care if you go out training, but if you try escaping, then I won't be able to explain it to the Gillette Household. That's why she and he have to stay."

As he was speaking, he pointed at Gwendolyn and then Constantine. "I want those two to stay behind as hostages. If you don't come back... If such a pretty girl were sold to Pub360, we would gain a large sum of money. Especially when she's a martial warrior, the clients will be even more enthusiastic in conquering her. As for this damn fatty, selling him to the mines as a slave wouldn't be a bad choice."

As his voice faded, a group of senior Gillette Household members who were at level 2 bronze rank rushed out from the surrounding area.

In less than half a breath, they had already encircled Gwendolyn and Constantine.

Maxwell's rage immediately burst forth.
