Chapter 605 Fuller's Guest...?
605 Fuller's Guest...?
Over half an hour after Max entered Claire's house, a stealthy, brown robed figure arrived in the neighborhood. It was Pyke, who was ordered to track Max.
He glanced around, closed his eyes as if to sense something and when opened his eyes again, he looked at Claire's house with a confused expression, "He is in there…?"
Though it hadn't been much time since Max's group arrived at the Capital city, and even less time since the noble families saw him fight and came to know about his bloodline, the Fuller family had already gathered quite a bit of information about Max, showcasing the intelligence gathering power they wielded.
Pyke, not wanting to get himself involved in a dangerous situation, had asked about his target, and only after he thought tracking him down wouldn't be too dangerous, he accepted… argh! Who he was kidding, since the family patriarch had asked him to do it, he wouldn't have been able to refuse no matter what.
Sighing in defeat, he muttered, "Since all his father's friends had turned their backs on him when he needed them, effectively breaking what relations they had, he shouldn't have a connection with anyone in the city."
A moment later, he shrugged, and relayed the information to Mike, the Fuller family patriarch.
Mike swiftly got the message and after reading it, he wore a pondering expression for a while before ordering Pyke to stay there and watch. After that, he ordered his subordinates to find out who lived in the house Max was in.
While his subordinates started moving, four more figures arrived in Claire's neighborhood. However, unlike Pyke who used his unique bloodline ability to immediately find out where Max was, they spread out and started interrogating people.
'People from the four families, huh?' Pyke recognised them. He then sent a message to someone. A few seconds later, a few houses away from Claire's house, the subordinate of the Fuller family took out his communication crystal and frowned before murmuring, "It seems the Family has already found the target… What a waste of my efforts!" Sighing, he sent the older man in front of him who he was interrogating away before leaving the place.
The other three noticed this and frowned. When they asked why he was leaving, he smiled and said, "The family has called me back. You guys continue your work."
"..."
"..."
"..."
The remaining three were left stunned, unable to understand why he was suddenly called back. Though they didn't know why their families wanted Max, they knew it was of utmost importance to them. So, the Fuller family's sudden 'withdrawal' befuddled them.
"How strange… I didn't think we could be called back from this mission until–" One of them expressed his doubt, but suddenly stopped mid-sentence as though he had realized something.
The other twos' eyes shone, coming to the same realization, "The Fuller family must have found him already." "Let's inform our families!" One of them suggested it before all of them took out their crystals and informed their superiors. Of course, none of them dare say that the Fuller family had found their target since it was only a guess of theirs.
Five minutes soon passed…
Swoosh!
A figure suddenly flew over and landed in front of Claire's house. This was none other than Wilfred, a grand elder of the Arasia family, who came here to capture Max after finding out he was here.
He didn't waste even a second and directly walked up to the door and raised his leg to kick it open, but–
Boosh! Boosh!
…two identical looking women in similar violet robes that hugged their curvaceous figures tightly appeared in front of him, and without any hesitation, threw their palms at him.
Wilfred was taken aback by their sudden appearance, and his eyes flashed with a look of recognition which stirred something deep within him.
"You bitc–" His surprised, and slightly shocked expression immediately turned dark with anger when he saw them attack him… without even trying to talk first as though he was beneath their notice. Some old memories resurfaced in his mind which only made him angrier.
Rumble! n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
His mana core rumbled and his mana churned in his mana veins as he instinctively started to cast an offensive magic spell when,
Bang!
…two slender palms landed on either side of his chest at the same time. His pupils constricted as his rapidly circulating mana halted, the backlash of it causing some minor injuries to his mana veins. He felt blood gush to his throat, which he forcefully kept in.
As he skid backwards, redirecting the physical force rampaging within his body to the ground, his eyes which were filled with shock were affixed on the pretty duo.
"You… how come you bitches are still stronger than me?" He asked in a disbelieving tone. Although their attacks didn't have their full strengths, he was nothing if not an experienced man enough to gauge their strengths from that much. He could immediately tell both of them were stronger than him albeit only a little.
If he were to fight either one of them, although he wouldn't be able to defeat them, he was sure he wouldn't lose either, but if he were to fight both of them together, the chances of his survival were… Zero! Why? Because when these two fight together, their strengths weren't simply one plus one, but multiple times that because of their impeccable synergy.
'These damned twins…' He gritted his teeth in frustration.
""You are not allowed to disturb our honored guest!"" The twins echoed indifferently.
Wilfred wasn't able to reign in his anger upon hearing this and hollered, "Your honored guest? When did he become your honored guest, you disgusting sluts?!"
The twin beauties acted as though they didn't hear his derogatory terms and simply said, "You don't need to know that. Just know he is our Fuller Family's guest and, therefore, under our protection."
Just when Wilfred was about to say something, an indifferent voice sounded, "How domineering! Befitting of the Twin Calamity!" "...But are you sure you want to go on this path? You might get destroyed!"
