To be honest, Charlie's appearance had caught Maxwell off guard.

His purpose for training in Eden was to deal with Owen, who was at level 2 silver rank.

Maxwell never imagined that Charlie would suddenly show up!

Charlie was also at level 2 silver rank, yet his strength was much stronger than Owen's. This was an undeniable fact due to Austin being defeated within just ten moves.

Therefore, the pressure Charlie gave Maxwell was not light.

The spectating crowd in the square were all staring at Maxwell and waiting for his response.

"Maxwell, go up."

"Go up!"

"Go fight!"

The crowd started clamouring since everyone wanted to see who was number one in Eden City.

Charlie's face was filled with cold aloofness as he said, "What? Are you afraid? You don't dare to?"

Maxwell laughed out: "I even dare to kill members of the Emporium Academy, so what's there that I don't dare to do?"

After saying that, he turned to look at Gwendolyn and softly said, "Girl, bring everyone back to the Gillette Household first. Then have the whole family evacuate and hide up in Eden."

"I've made some preparations in Eden, so tell them not to be afraid."

Before Maxwell left Eden, he had created two more soldiers as war pets. Although their strength wasn't as powerful as Shadow's, those two would still be considered overlords in the outer periphery. Protecting the few hundred Gillette Household members shouldn't be a problem at all.

This was his backup move.

Since he was the Gillette Household's pillar, he had to consider the future of all the innocent members. This was his responsibility as a Lord.

Gwendolyn frowned and said, "I'm not leaving here."

Brenda also quickly added, "I'll also not leave too."

Many of the Gillette Household members also said in unison: "Boss, we're not leaving either."

Maxwell had completely won them over. Now that they had reached a point where they might all die, none of them was willing to continue living in shame. Wanting them to leave Maxwell behind while they hid in Eden was an impossible task.

Maxwell was deeply touched by this.

Also at this time, Owen loudly shouted: "All Castro Household members, listen up! Surround them all for me and whoever dares to leave - kill on sight!"

The Castro Household members started surrounding the Gillette Household members in a circle while staring at them coldly.

Maxwell's mind sank as he bitterly smiled: "Even if we wanted to run now, it wouldn't work anymore."

"Boss, let's just fight it out with them."

"That's right, boss, we can definitely win with our current strength!"

None of them was afraid, and they were even releasing thick battle intent from their bodies. Especially those senior elite ten members who had trained in Eden, they all looked rather eager and were just waiting for Maxwell's command.

Maxwell's thoughts were on a fast track as he contemplated for a few seconds. He then said, "If I happen to die on the stage, I want you all to break out of this siege. If it's possible, I hope that you all will protect Lady Gwendolyn and Brenda because I don't want anything to happen to them."

Maxwell was not confident!

Just based on Charlie's powerful oppressive pressure, Maxwell could sense that he may not be Charlie's opponent.

Maxwell's cultivation had reached level 4 silver rank after leaving Eden, so he was completely confident in killing Owen if they were facing each other. But dealing with Charlie at the peak of level 2 silver rank, he didn't have a single ounce of confidence.

Gwendolyn's eyes started turning watery and red as she struggled hard not to start crying. "Do you want me to..."

"No need!" Maxwell directly rejected her since he was very clear on Tammy's strength. There's no way Charlie could even resist a single strike by her.

But, there weren't any free lunches in this world, and everything had its conditions. Maxwell didn't wish for Gwendolyn to do something she was against, just to satisfy those conditions.

"Don't worry, Lord Maxwell, even if I have to die, I will definitely protect them and break out of here," Benjamin said through clenched teeth.

All the Gillette Household members had resolute eyes as steady as a mountain.

Maxwell gave a comforting smile as he gently patted Gwendolyn's nose. He then wiped a tear from the corner of her eye and said, "Silly girl, you don't need to worry about me. If I am no longer here, you still have to continue living happily each day of your life."

The atmosphere was somewhat depressing.

Brenda hugged Maxwell's thigh and muttered through a pout: "I don't want you to get on the stage. You can't use them by themselves."

Maxwell stroked Brenda's supple black hair and gently smiled.

On top of the stage...

Charlie impatiently shouted: "Maxwell, you damn mix-breed dog, can you hurry it up a bit?"

Maxwell's eyes turned cold as he pulled his thigh free, glared at Charlie and shouted: "Are you in a rush to reincarnate?"

Immediately after, his figure flashed, and he immediately landed on top of the stage.

The crowd in the square started boiling in excitement.

"Hahaha... a good show is finally about to start."

"I bet on Charlie winning."

"I bet that Maxwell wouldn't be able to resist more than three moves."

"Lord Austin lost in under ten moves. In my opinion, Austin will only require a single move to take Maxwell down."

Charlie took out his sword, and his body started releasing a sharp pressure. While the pressure was pounding against Maxwell like a tsunami, Charlie said with disdain, "You've finally come up. Don't worry; I will take care of those two girls after your death. I will definitely make them feel like they're in heaven every night, hahaha..."

Maxwell couldn't fully resist the oppressive pressure from someone at level 2 silver rank.

The pressure instantly rushed into his mind.

Maxwell's heart tightened as he yelled internally: "Killing intent beast core, isn't it time for you to exert some effort?"

Suddenly, it was as if it had heard the summons by Maxwell; the killing intent beast core in his mind made a noise before channelling out. The scene inside his mind then turned chaotic.

The killing intent beast core was like a powerful army chopping up the invading pressure.

The strangest thing of all, this so-called killing intent army of Maxwell started devouring the defeated pressure, and more killing intent soldiers were produced.

What was going on?

Could this be the power of the killing intent beast core?

Maxwell was lost and confused.

Charlie was surprised by this and started frowning in secret. The oppressive pressure he released was like pouring mud into the sea, which totally pissed him off.

Immediately after, he retrieved his pressure, and his sword started materialising a thick qi. His white figure then suddenly blurred.

"Silver Sword Technique!"

The sword stabbed out, and the sword qi was similar to a starry sky that all crashed towards Maxwell.

Maxwell's eyes tightened as he roared out: "Level 2 Overdrive!"

A loud internal sound was heard, and four times the attributes exploded forth. The aura on Maxwell's body changed, and he rushed out himself instead of waiting for Charlie to arrive.

"Fire Palm Attack!"

"Dragon Attack!"

His fists were like fire that directly punched towards a sharp sword that seemed to appear from the void.

"Humph!"

"You dare to receive my Sword with your bare hands?" Charlie shouted in disdain. His sword then turned illusory like a flower made of swords that acted in concert with his sword qi before piercing towards Maxwell's eighteen acupoints. "Acupoint Sealing!"

Changing moves at the last moment?!

He was indeed the strongest student in the outer courts of the Emporium Academy.

Charlie's fighting talent was indeed amazing since he could change moves in such a short time. Maxwell was thunderstruck at this point.

But!

"Wild Cat Beast Destroyer!"

The sound waves swept out.

Charlie was startled by this as he said to himself: "I never imagined this piece of trash had cultivated so many different martial techniques. If I don't get rid of him today, he will definitely become troublesome in the future."

The moment the sound wave burst forth, Charlie abandoned the thought of protecting his mind. The vibration of the sound wave was a trivial matter to him, so he just used countless sword qi to shatter it quickly.

His sword stabbed out eighteen times, and each stab would pierce into eighteen acupoints of Maxwell.

The flow of blood in Maxwell's body was instantly sealed from movement. This kind of feeling was unbearable, similar to a fish on a cutting board, where its fate was completely up to someone else.

In one exchange, Maxwell was defeated!

This was the difference in strength.

Charlie started laughing out smugly. His eyes and his expression showed complete disdain. "Hahaha, trash will always be trash. You want to fight with me? What qualifications do you have to fight with me? Hahaha..."

Was he really going to die soon?

At this time, Maxwell was sitting down in Dracula's world of slaughter, and across from him was a blade drenched in blood. This was the world's most domineering blade filled with killing intent - Vampire Blade!
