He gave her a kiss.

Gwendolyn didn't avoid it. She lightly closed her eyes as her heart rate increased. Her cheeks were blushing in anticipation like a little bride inside the bridal chamber.

Just a tiny bit more to go, Maxwell's heart rate also increased.

With the mindset of an otaku, his palms were sweating and his heart was beating like wild.

When he was only about a centimetre away from her small mouth.

"Cough!"

"Lady Gwendolyn!"

A voice came from the courtyard. Gwendolyn opened her eyes in startlement like a frightened rabbit. She shrank back from Maxwell and instantly ran out of the room.

Maxwell's head bent forward with his eyes closed. He had an intoxicated look on his face as he said to himself: "Baby, here I come."

He had already thought of what he would do after.

First, they would kiss, then slowly undress. Then he'll slowly move down and...

"How come the kiss hasn't landed yet?" Maxwell was a bit surprised and opened a slight slit in his eyes. He gradually fully opened his eyes and looked around, "What the hell? What's going on?"

"Who is it that has no basis of morality? Interrupting me at such a time? What are your intentions?"

Maxwell was completely pissed right now. A little sheep that was about to enter his mouth had run away. What should a starving big bad wolf like him do now?

At least in his so-called past life, he had a blow-up doll to solve his urges. There were also several action movies from the island country to accompany him. But now with his erect weapon, what choices have the Gods left him with?

Was he supposed to bring the illustrious occupation of jerking off to this foreign world?

Maxwell deeply breathed out the pent-up heat inside him. His heart calmed down slightly and the evil flames in his crotch decreased a bit. He then got off the bed and went outside.

A dark shadow was currently standing beside Gwendolyn.

The person was dressed completely in black without giving off any energy fluctuations. Maxwell wasn't even able to detect any signs of life from this person either.

Gwendolyn saw Maxwell come out and couldn't help but start blushing again. It was due to the darkness that no one noticed her face turning red. As she recalled the previous scene, her heart started thumping quickly like crazy. With a playful laugh: "Max!"

He returned a smile and made a sound: "Ehn!"

Maxwell glanced over to the person in black, "Thank you for what happened earlier today..."

Without waiting for Maxwell to finish the sentence, the person coldly interrupted: "No need."

The voice wasn't loud, but it was extremely cold, like a towering block of ice.

Because the voice was so soft, Maxwell couldn't determine if it was a man or a woman. And since this person was treating him so coldly, there was no need for him to be so friendly to someone who didn't give a crap.

If one doesn't regard me, why should I regard the person?

Gwendolyn lightly laughed and said, "Max, he is always like that, so don't mind it."

Maxwell replied: "Why would I mind it? Anybody would naturally not bother to chat with someone like me, right?"

The person in black merely gave Maxwell a cold glance.

"Lady Gwen, we should get going now." Said the person in black.

Gwendolyn's small mouth slightly pouted as she looked a bit sad. She then looked down and said: "Fine..."

After taking two steps, she turned around and giggled. "Max, I will come see you tomorrow. You should try to get a good night's rest."

Right after, she started skipping like a little cheerful sparrow that gradually disappeared into the night.

Maxwell watched as her back disappeared before smiling.

Maxwell had figured Gwendolyn's identity wasn't simple, but he never expected it to be this powerful. The cultivation of that person in black was probably at the Gold rank or higher.

Just this person alone would be able to destroy the entire Eden City.

And from the looks of it, this person was merely an attendant to Gwendolyn.

Just a follower was already this powerful, then her household...

Maxwell's heart slightly tightened as his eyebrows wrinkled. He then looked up into the starry night sky lost in his own thoughts.

A while later... He took a deep breath and said to himself: "We'll let things happen naturally!"

While walking back, Gwendolyn asked with a calm-looking face: "Why would Maxwell suddenly faint like that?"

The person in black behind her replied: "I don't know either."

Gwendolyn was surprised and said, "Tammy, you are an expert at level 4 Gold rank and also a third-generation Alchemist. How could you not know the reason?"

A level 4 Gold rank was already very strong, and she was even a third-generation Alchemist. How much more powerful could she get?

Let's put the high cultivation rank aside for now. The number of alchemists in the Western World was so minuscule that every single one of them was considered a supreme existence!

The most important point was that the expert in black clothing was a girl, a girl as cold as a block of ice.

And usually, these types of girls are embodiments of the popular elder sister category. It's unknown whether Maxwell would reconsider his goals in life if he found out about this because in his past life, he had a dream of pushing down an older lady.

The girl in black clothing said: "He suddenly fainted and his body started burning up. And the killing intent inside his heart was extremely strong. This type of violent killing intent is something I've never encountered before. It's similar to those Demon Lords who have determined to follow the path of slaughter. Gwen, it's best if you stay away from him and..."

This aura of ruthless slaughter was something that she, a level 4 Gold rank, was a bit fearful of.

When she was examining Maxwell's injuries, the killing intent he gave off almost disrupted her own mind.

In her heart, Maxwell was a dangerous character.

He might not be one right now, but he will definitely become one in the future.

She only had a single command while following Gwendolyn out here - kill all threats to her!

The strong killing intent inside Maxwell's heart was also considered a threat. As long as there was the slightest threat pointed towards Gwendolyn, she would kill him without hesitation!

Gwendolyn faintly asked: "And what?"

The girl in black clothing replied: "He's not worthy of you. You and Sir Dan..."

Gwendolyn's eyebrows twitched as her tone of voice changed, "Don't mention him in front of me!"

The expression of the girl in black clothing immediately changed as she shut her mouth.

The two walked in silence - one in front and one in the back towards the Conglomerate organisation's battle arena.

Early morning.

The entire Gillette Household was in a festive mood as they decorated their manor.

Inside the martial training grounds.

Hundreds of the Gillette Household members were standing in rows filled with spirit. Their eyes were bright as they stared towards the centre of the stage.

Constantine waved his hand once.

Everyone then shouted in unison: "All hail the new Lord!"

Suddenly, a rustling noise was heard as hundreds of members all kneeled down on the ground. This type of scene gave Maxwell quite a scare!

Maxwell cleared his throat and glared at Constantine once. He then loudly said: "We are all fellow brethren so there's no need to be like this. Everyone get up!"

Seeing so many people in front of him, he couldn't help but get a bit excited.

The Gillette Household.

He was currently the Lord of the Gillette Household.

When Maxwell was unconscious yesterday, Constantine made a series of house-cleaning moves. All the people close to Sebastian had been removed.

The death of Sebastian in the Gillette Household was almost similar to a household destruction.

Two Dukes at the silver rank and half the senior elite members had been killed. During the entrance competition, Maxwell had used the Raining Fire attack to instantly kill many junior members as well. All this added up had caused the Gillette Household to enter a state of crisis.

The current Gillette Household can be described as having many problems present without a fix.

Maxwell was actually just an otaku who had no ability to manage an entire household. Not to mention he had no plans of staying in Eden City once he became stronger.

But since he had become the Lord, he would still dedicate his time and effort to strengthening the household, while he lacked the power to leave the city for now.

"Reporting to the Lord: The Castro and Quadri Household have brought a lot of people with them and are coming towards our court. They have almost reached our main entrance!"

Maxwell's eyebrows tightened, "They want to come here to provoke us?"

At this time, any of the five major households could exterminate the Gillette Household. All of a sudden, two major households were heading towards them. It looks like they want to declare war!
