Maxwell directly admitted it!
This made Sebastian greatly surprised. He thought Maxwell would deny the charges, but he never expected him to admit to them without hesitation.
Sebastian's despicable looking face formed a smile as he majestically said: "You all heard him. He has committed a heinous crime, so there's no need for a trial; he will be punished immediately!"
Once Maxwell died, the beast core would belong to him.
Sebastian proudly laughed internally. As long as he gets the beast core, he'll be able to level up from the silver rank to gold. By that time, no one in the Gillette Household would dare to oppose him.
---
Outside the main hall.
Everyone had a strange look in their eyes, but immediately looked firm again, as if they had made a resolution. They quietly observed everything that was happening inside the main hall as if they were wolves waiting to pounce.
"What is the Executive Department still waiting for?"
"Capture him! If he dares to resist, execute him on the spot!" Sebastian commanded.
The eight executioners currently at the silver rank tightened their eyes.
The Chief of the Executive Department, Tito, said: "Maxwell, I advise you to give up any thoughts of resisting so that you can avoid any pain to your body. Otherwise..."
"Otherwise what? If you guys think you're capable, come make your move!" Said Maxwell, full of arrogance. His body exploded forth a strong and violent killing aura causing the entire main hall to be shrouded in a chilled atmosphere. Without waiting for them to make a move, Maxwell coldly smiled: "You want to convict me of a crime? Sebastian, let's see if you have that ability!"
"You want to convict me? Humph! I will mention some of your crimes!"
Maxwell glanced at Tito before saying: "Sebastian, as the acting Lord, you are clear on the rules of the entrance competition, yet you allowed Bawa, who's at level 7 silver rank, to help your son. You abused your authority and played favouritism; that crime alone is enough to remove your status as the acting Lord. That's only the first point!"
"Second point: You thought your son's cultivation was the highest so he'd naturally win first place? How can a piece of trash like him be eligible to take first place? As the acting Lord, you didn't wait for the contest to end before giving the first-place prize to your own son. What do you think this crime should be punished for?"
"What are you looking at? Did I say anything wrong? If you have the guts, take out the upgrade element. If you can take another one out, I will admit I am wrong!" Maxwell coldly roared out as he looked at Sebastian's enraged eyes.
Immediately after, Maxwell continued: "The third point: Before Fargo died, he personally told me how you schemed against me back then. Let alone wasting my cultivation, you crippled me and wanted me to die. It's fortunate that the Gods have eyes and gave me a new start. Are you regretting it now?"
"Scheming against the heir, what do you think this crime should be punished by?"
"As for the junior members of the Gillette Household who acted recklessly." Maxwell coldly laughed before turning around and looking at those outside the main hall. He then loudly shouted: "Tell them how those people died!"
"They were forced to their deaths by Gregory!"
Several dozen people said in unison outside.
Those junior members had truly died by Maxwell's hands, but if it weren't for Gregory forcing them, there's no way they would send themselves to death like that.
Since people wanted to die, they couldn't blame him for his actions.
Although this reason was pushing it a bit, this was technically another world – a world where strength is King. This was a place where one's fist could be used to settle all matters.
Maxwell was saying so much stuff to let the entire Gillette Household know how despicable Sebastian had been acting.
Sebastian's face was getting uglier by the minute. His fists, hidden by his sleeves, were clenched tightly as a cold, chilling aura exploded from him.
Suddenly, Maxwell called out. "Is the Executive Department present?"
Tito's eyebrows were knitted as he glanced at Maxwell first before glancing at Sebastian. He then asked: "Maxwell, do you have any evidence of the things you've said?"
"Evidence?"
Upon hearing the word, Sebastian smiled conceited: "That's right Maxwell, do you have evidence to back up what you've said?"
"He said that I was guilty of the crimes and you guys ran out like dogs. I said he was guilty of crimes and you want evidence from me? Tito, it looks like there's no need for your Executive Department to exist anymore right?" Maxwell directly scorned him viciously without regarding him.
The people of the Executive Department were all at the silver rank. The power they wielded could be comparable to Sebastian's
But, these past several years, the Executive Department had become Sebastian's private tool for getting rid of his opponents.
"Scorning the Executive Department? Why are you not seizing this traitor yet?" Sebastian suddenly roared out.
The expression of the eight Executioners changed as they couldn't further tolerate Maxwell's insults anymore. They all took out their weapons with swoosh sounds as they were about to attack Maxwell.
Maxwell coldly laughed into the air before mumbling: "The Gillette Household has become entirely rotten from head to toe, even deep inside the bones. Even the Executive Department has become Sebastian's private tool!"
Maxwell finally lowered his fists and shouted out: "Since it has come to this, then I'll just establish a new Household."
As his voice faded, Maxwell's aura had once again increased since he didn't dare to be careless when suddenly facing eight people at silver rank. Although they were all at level 10, the joint power of eight people working together should be quite extraordinary!
"Level 2 Overdrive!"
The inside of his body gave off low booming sounds. His attributes exploded to four times the initial values as his entire body became red while giving off a white mist.
Power! Unparalleled power was released without a care.
The aura released was difficult for the eight to endure so their speeds had visibly declined.
Sebastian's eyes tightened as he turned towards the other two Dukes and shouted: "What are you guys waiting for? Join them and kill that traitor!"
The two glanced at each other and actually turned a blind eye as if they hadn't seen or heard anything.
At this time, with ripples of power surging out, Maxwell ferociously sneered before coldly saying: "I'll let you guys experience my new martial technique."
"Magma Attack!"
Maxwell's fist turned from normal red to dark red before finally turning into hot magma. Magma was dripping off his fist before landing on the floor and giving off sizzling sounds.
Everyone present was shocked by Maxwell.
How did he learn the Volcanic Gecko's Technique?
No one knew.
Even Constantine was clueless. But upon seeing how domineering Maxwell was, he grinned foolishly and mumbled to himself: "Boss has become stronger now. He has become extremely strong."
Outside the main hall, the Gillette Household members all showed eyes of worship.
There were even some who couldn't help but start screaming: "Boss is mighty, boss is domineering. I love you, boss..."
Inside the main hall, Sebastian's mind was shaking. He was clenching his teeth so hard that cracking sounds could be heard. An unprecedented amount of killing intent rose up as he said to himself: "No matter what, Maxwell has to die today!"
Immediately after, Sebastian's level 2 silver rank energy started circulating as his pair of eyes glared at Maxwell.
"Fire Palm!"
"Dragon Attack!"
Maxwell's pair of fists was enhanced with magma power, and then his level 7 silver rank attributes were multiplied by four times; dealing with eight executioners was simply overkill.
A single punch penetrated a person's chest.
Instant kill!
"Crackle..."
His eight punches were like lightning seven system notification tones sounded off. His experience bar soared, his profound energy increased, and his badges went up.
Out of the eight people from the Executive Department, only Tito was able to awkwardly escape death. There was an extremely ugly look on his face as he paled substantially.
Maxwell arrogantly sneered, "Not a single one of you can fight well at all."
It was also at this moment, Sebastian's figure was like a ghost as he rushed out and roared: "Limitless Palm Strike!"
Maxwell's face changed as he never imagined Sebastian would resort to a sneak attack.
