Nighttime. The Gillette Household Martial training court was brightly lit.

Maxwell was standing on the stage of the training grounds. He looked at the ten carefully selected members with eyes as large as lanterns staring back up at him. Maxwell cleared his throat before saying, "I would like to first thank you all for being here. Secondly, I am giving you all the last opportunity to reconsider what we're doing. We will be entering into the inner depths of Eden, which is much more dangerous than the outer periphery. You guys can still quit right now, and I won't stop you."

In the outer periphery, spawned beasts usually wouldn't be stronger than below silver rank. Above silver rank spawned beasts were extremely rare, so there was no need to even mention below gold rank.

This was also something that troubled Maxwell.

The experience from low-ranked beasts couldn't satisfy him anymore.

The current him required several hundred thousand XP to level up. Relying on a few hundred points each time was way too slow, so he had to find a better levelling place.

Moreover, the degree of damage to his three iron soldiers was at sixty per cent now. He wouldn't be able to use them for much longer before they became scrap metal. These creation puppets were XP machines to him, so he couldn't allow them to break down.

There's also the issue with Constantine.

Without blood mana, he wouldn't be able to increase his cultivation. And that vicious-looking beast on his head looked like it had shrivelled up, like it had starved to the point that it couldn't walk.

Constantine's potential and talent were unfathomable.

The most important point was that Constantine was similar to him, their cultivation level were unorthodox paths.

He was Maxwell's ace for this inter-house competition.

Constantine's potential had been suppressed all this time, so Maxwell was looking forward to the day that it exploded forth. That day will definitely be a day of Armageddon like proportions!

This was beyond a doubt!

"Boss, we aren't going to quit."

"That's right! The Castro and Quadri households have gone too far! I will definitely level up this time, and by then, I'll beat them to the point that they won't know which direction is north."

"Boss, we aren't afraid of death. So what if it's Eden?"

The expressions of those ten people were like steel as their eyes showed their tough and unwavering determination.

Something that was worth mentioning, out of the ten people, six were junior members who had just turned seniors, while only four were senior members. Their cultivation levels were all around level 4 and 5 bronze rank.

Their cultivation levels were really low.

It was basically death if they went against those at the silver rank.

Maxwell didn't care about that since what he wanted were those with a strong will. Even if they were stronger, if they didn't have the mentality of either you die or I die, that's able to make one fight above their levels, they would still be useless on the stage.

In the street brawls of planet Earth, there's a saying that: "Normal people feared dummies, dummies feared crazy people, and crazy people feared those that didn't fear death."

It was one's life versus another's life while on top of the stage. Even if their cultivation wasn't as good as their opponents, their dominating momentum can overwhelm everything!

If one didn't experience the trial of death during their growth, how can they fight for their life on the line?

This was Maxwell's reasoning and goal for bringing them into Eden!

Maxwell faintly smiled before loudly saying, "Good! No matter if you guys manage to come back alive or not, your actions today will be forever written into the history of the Gillette Household!"

Ten people entering Eden for a month for a life-or-death training, who knows what would happen in a month?

Maxwell was looking forward to it.

Maxwell turned around and walked towards Benjamin before saying, "I will leave the matters of the Gillette Household to you. Since I'm not here, you will have to put up with any problems the best you can. If our family happens to experience a crisis, you can seek help from the Gryphon's Household since they are definitely on our side."

Maxwell was extremely worried.

He was worried that the minute he wasn't around, the Castro and Quadri households might use secret attacks or even find an excuse to openly go to war with them.

Benjamin replied seriously: "Don't worry, my Lord, even if it takes my life, I will definitely protect this Household."

Benjamin was quite emotional.

No one has ever looked up to and depended on him like this before. He vowed to himself that he had to protect the Gillette Household even if it cost him his life!

Maxwell nodded, "Then I'll have to trouble you then."

Immediately after, Maxwell waved his hand and yelled out: "Let's move out!"

Constantine grinned foolishly before throwing a super huge machete of over 50kg onto his shoulder. He then yelled: "Fellow brethren, let's move out!"

The ten roared out in reply before turning and filing out towards the Gillette Household main entrance.

Maxwell watched their backs leaving and hiddenly clenched his fists. "I'm depending on you guys!"

His gaze tightened as he quickly went to catch up with them.

---

The Gillette Household main entrance.

A shadow of a person was pacing back and forth. The torchlight revealed a portion of her light skin and two strands of hair that hung on the side of her face. Her pure-looking eyes showed a trace of worry as two little hands fidgeted with her clothes. She had an anxious look on her face and would occasionally stand on tiptoes to look inside the manor. Several times her foot would step in, but then she would hesitate and stop herself.

Her mixed emotions and uncertainty were exactly like a little woman.

Suddenly, the sounds of footsteps were getting closer. Gwendolyn calmed her emotions and put on a faint smile that revealed her two shallow dimples. The members coming out of the manor were dumbfounded by that intoxicating smile of hers.

Her all white clothing made her look like a fairy.

A fairy with an otherworldly appearance!

She was so beautiful to the point of suffocating them.

"What are you all looking at? Quickly greet the Lady!" Constantine glared at them before foolishly running up with a fawning expression. "Greetings, My Lady!"

"My Lady!" The ten of them loudly yelled in unison.

Gwendolyn's cheeks turned red as she glared at Constantine. She then pretended to be angry: "You damn biggie, watch how Maxwell takes care of you."

But her heart was actually filled with sweetness.

Constantine scratched his head before looking at the members in the lead. He then smacked the back of the member's head and yelled, "Quickly, keep moving!"

Gwendolyn was simply too beautiful when she smiled.

They originally wanted to look a while longer, but quickly ran off upon seeing the angry face of Constantine. They had experienced firsthand how strict he was before.

Maxwell came up and gave a disheartened smile. "Why did you come?"

Gwendolyn went up and grabbed Maxwell's arm and gently swung it. She pouted her little mouth and said in a coquettish voice: "Maxwell, please bring me along. I promise that I won't cause any trouble for you."

She was like a little kitten.

This was simply a complete, fatal attack on Maxwell.

Maxwell's heart felt like it was scratched by a cat.

He really wanted to grab Gwendolyn and kiss her passionately right there on the spot, but he eventually managed to resist the urge.

He was afraid that the mysterious person would silently appear again.

A burst of resentment resounded in his heart as Maxwell recalled that night. If it weren't for that mysterious person, his virgin body would have been done away with already.

Resentment, super resentment!

Once I become stronger, I'll definitely teach that guy a lesson!

If it were back during his previous life, facing Gwendolyn, this cute and coquettish lolita, he would honestly take her anywhere she desired.

He couldn't muster up any resistance when dealing with Gwendolyn.

But it was different this time.

He was planning on entering the inner depths of Eden, and what if an accident occurs while bringing her along?

Even if the mysterious person is around to rescue her, how strong were the spawned beasts in Eden? What if he doesn't save her in time? Maxwell would definitely blame himself for his entire life.

He gently patted Gwendolyn's nose and smiled, "Nothing will happen to me, so just obediently stay in Eden City and await my return."

Gwendolyn wanted to keep pushing the discussion, but held back her words. With an aggrieved look of a little woman, she then said, "Fine then, you need to look after yourself, and I will obediently wait here for your return."

After saying that, she took out a parcel from her zero storage space and giggled: "This is a present for you."

"A present? What sort of present?"

Maxwell received the parcel and opened it, becoming completely dumbfounded!
