Max took Victor out of the main gates after leaving the old man's chambers.

One of the Bahamut's followers quietly took over the guy and disappeared.

It seemed Bahamut was quite interested in the changes which occurred in Victor's body.

After that, Max returned to the mansion.

"Hmmm..why are you still here?" Max asked as he bumped into Aria who was in the hall.

"Janet asked us to stay the night…" Aria replied with a smile.

Max frowned a bit.

Did these people really didn't have anything to do...they were practically crashing into each other's house every other day…..

He shook his head and just went to Aunt Vitni's room and grabbed Lilly from her before returning to his room.

Max changed his clothes and sat on the bed with Lilly and the spirit snake as they played by his side.

At this moment, a notification popped up in front of his eyes…

«I Am Mr. Cool has joined the chat….»

It seemed the guy had finally unlocked the system. Well, it wasn't a surprise. He had already achieved the peak of the second layer. The third layer with Bahamut's help shouldn't have been hard...it was just a matter of time..

«I Am Mr. Cool: No one is welcoming me?»

Max just looked but didn't reply. There was no reply from Bahamut as well.

«I Am Mr. Cool: No one missed me?!»

«Bahamut: I just beat you up in the morning...you still miss me?»

«I Am Mr. Cool: Do you really need to remind me about that? It's time to celebrate my return...»

«Coward Cat: I forgot to ask but you ran away from your Academy...they won't take away your spot for your participation in the competition right?»

Max asked as he remembered about it.

"..."

«Bahamut: Why are you not replying?»

''…"

«Bahamut: Give me your address?»

"..."

«I Am Mr. Cool: Uhmn...Let's not get ahead of ourselves...even if I am missing, who would bear to cut my name when they have seen this face of mine..»

«Coward Cat: It's not the time to joke...you better contact them...we can't give up this opportunity….» Max said with a frown.

«I Am Mr. Cool: The Knight of House leader is my girl, you can calm down...I will just ring her up...»

Max breathed in relief.

«Coward Cat: Another thing, it's about you...the Achilles.....»

Max mentioned the event when Lear was attacked in the past and the person involved had people from Achilles House as well.

«Coward Cat: Is it possible that someone from your house has a hand behind it….is it him?» Max reminded him of James's puppet in the Achilles House.

«I Am Mr. Cool: It's difficult to tell….lately Volford's strength has been on a rise and he has become favorable in many people's eyes since he has a friendship with Ovens. After all these last few years, our relationship with Ovens has deepened.»

«Coward Cat: Hmmn….has Werner opened his eyes yet?»

«I Am Mr. Cool: Nope….»

«Coward Cat: Let's keep him for the time being.....he knows a lot of things that we need to know…»

They chatted for a few more minutes before closing it up.

Max then looked at Lilly still wrestling with the spirit snake on the bed.

"Come Lilly...it's time to sleep…" Max sat the pillows for her but the little girl made Max's arm into her pillow and snuggled up to him.

Max smiled as he gently rubbed her head. Lithiya used to do that for them when she was present...

"Brother...when will mom and dad return…" Lilly suddenly asked as he looked at him.

"Very soon, Lilly….I will bring mom back…" Max smiled and patted her head.

"What about dad?"

Max froze for a second...he himself didn't know whether father was alive or not….but he still nodded his head.

"Yeah, dad too…"

If he is still alive then he would definitely find him…

After Lilly fell asleep, Max closed his eyes and entered the spirit world to train.

….

Recycle District, Capital.

The area had been devastated due to the fight last time and was still under construction.

"Damn those people….they dare to kill my master…." This person was the demon whom Max, Bahamut and Mr. Cool had fought.

This guy was heavily injured but had luckily managed to survive until now.

"Once I recover….I will have to search for the location of the items and contact the tribe…"

Suddenly footsteps entered the man's ear and he immediately became alert. But the next instant, his expression eased a bit….

A girl appeared in front of him, a strong demonic aura was leaking out of her body and it completely suppressed the man's aura.

"Princess of Leyak Tribe…." The man looked at her with a frown.

"Come and help me….it's good that you are here...there has been a trouble…" the old man shook his head. It was not the time to be disgusted….he had more urgent issues here….

The lady smiled and walked towards him.

But the old man frowned as he felt a chill creeping up on him. He tried to move but the next instant, his body froze. He couldn't move..

"Where do you think you are going? You need to stay here for now…"

The man turned his head on hearing the familiar voice and his eyes immediately turned red, "It's you!! Filthy Human!!"

The familiar guy was none other than Naze, Axel's brother….

"Where are the auction items?" The lady finally arrived in front of him.

"Huh? It's not with me...but in the hands of humans...what are you planning to do Belial...your tribe won't be able to bear the cost, remember it.." The man warned with a smirk on his face.

"Shnk!" The lady pulled out a dagger and pushed it through his eyes without any hint of hesitation….and a terrifying scream was heard throughout the district…

"Where are the auction items?" She asked again.

The man didn't reply and he knew it was useless. He was going to get killed no matter what, after all this girl had shown her true colors today...if he returned alive, there was no way her tribe could bear the consequences....

"Useless person…" the lady grumbled and sliced off his head without any hesitation. Blood splashed onto the lady's face and clothes but there wasn't a change in her expression.

"What now Princess?" Naze asked as he looked at her with smile.

"The auction items would be a great help...but even without that, we have to continue the plan…." The lady shook her head as a fierce glim passed through her eyes.

She was determined to end it in her generation….
