Chapter 78: Li Household\'s plan

Max and the twins had appeared on the Asian Continent.

Their location was close to Li Household, for Max had memories of one of the people from Europe visiting this place. With so many people in need, relying on him in his territory, Max didn\'t have problems finding people for most stuff.

For this journey, Max was a side character, though.

He followed his beloved twins, who had come here with a simple goal.

"Hey, you!" Alice called one of the players, who had been patrolling the area. He was equipped in eastern clothes, a combination of robes and armor in vital areas.

He flinched, looking around in search of the unfamiliar voice. His job was to simply watch the area, for monsters here weren\'t scared of players except their strength reached high levels.

Thus, many of them sometimes wandered here. Players looked exactly for those monsters and any possible people in need.

"Foreigners?" he questioned himself, staying wary. There was a chance monster with illusion skills had come out from the lair.

​ Max, Alice, and Zamira looked too clean and casual, so they were players, if not monster creations.

"Who are you?" the man asked while holding the hilt of his weapon.

Alice grinned, revealing her white teeth, "Dragons who will kill your leader."

The man\'s heart jumped in fear, goosebumps going down his spine before cold sweat trickled down his back. He couldn\'t take those words for a joke, for Alice\'s intent was genuine and coming straight from her heart.

She conveyed her killing intent with her intense eyes, yearning for blood.

Zamira was the same, silently staring at the man whose body couldn\'t move for some reason. He kept trembling, pinned down by the sheer pressure.

Max chuckled, patting his twins\' shoulders, "Don\'t go so cruel on him."

"Heh," Alice smiled mysteriously as if she wasn\'t done.

And a few minutes later, Max understood her expression.

They used the first random player as a guide. They told him to lead them to the Li Household\'s main house regardless of any regulations. At first, the man wanted to protest because he was too weak to blatantly bypass all inspections.

But as Alice started her show, the man knew his worries and words didn\'t matter.

"Don\'t mind us! We are here just to kill the old dog! Haha!" Alice waved her hand at everyone as if she was a pope greeting her believers. She made people stunned, both with her beauty and words.

Who was the old dog? There were many elderly people, but an image of a certain old man appeared in the minds of everyone gathered around Alice.

The same picture of the impressive and the strongest human in their continent.

"Even if you are joking, we won\'t let it slide! Stop and let yourself get confined for slandering our savior and attempting to kill him!"

"Quick before they run away!"

"They aren\'t running away, though…."

While Alice lifted her chin, her arms crossed beneath her chest, Zamira looked at the loud players with squinted eyes, "Slander? You all imagined our target; all she said was an old dog."

Players ignored her, ashamed because she was right. Of course, they didn\'t let anything occur on their faces, for that would betray their feelings.

And thus, it was time for Max to shine.

"Alright," Max smiled, taking out hands from his pocket. His dragons came out from his souls, preparing to spread their might.

However, those two mana creations didn\'t coil around Max\'s arms like usual.

Max immediately swung his hands, sending dragons at everyone around him. It was similar to whipping, but mana dragons were more advanced.

They followed more than just Max\'s arm movement. With his will, Max had all those people around him getting pierced by mana dragons.

He didn\'t do any damage, though.

[You have put Mana Shackles on fifty-four people.]

"My mana?"

"It\'s gone!"

"How?!"

"That\'s what you call a class," Max flicked his fingers, calling his mana dragons to his side. They disappeared within his soul ocean, leaving him standing like a boss.

Max didn\'t even need to fight those people.

They were so weak that he could seal them easier than Rosangela. It would be harder as time went on, though.

But who would face him head-on with a knowledge of such convenient ability? The players that fell onto their knees without any mana felt like begging Max to unlock their powers, for the harsh time had arrived.

Their cries instilled fear in people who soon would see Max and the twins…

"If their laments reach the main house, people will be too wary of us. My job might end up with me not even dirtying my hands," Max laughed.

His twins looked behind him, happy and satisfied with his efforts. They continued their walk with heads high.

Alice kept spitting her truest desires, irking many people. They couldn\'t voice their complaints, for Max sealed their mana, seemingly closing their lips.

And at last, Max and the twins arrived at the main scene.

Strangely, no one bothered them here.

"They are here, grandfather," A lady with sharp features and eyes called her grandpa, the strongest man in the whole of Asia.

Li Xiao.

He sat cross-legged before a small funeral shrine. He had his young wife\'s image here and her fan. Those two things would always evoke her memories within Li Xiao\'s mind.

He opened his eyes halfway, gazing at his wife\'s photo. It was black and white, coming from the too old era.

After standing up, Li Xiao said, "Are you prepared to die?"

"Grandpa… Can\'t we really win? If we can\'t win against them, can\'t we offer ourselves, becoming their slaves? Do we have to die?" the lady said softly, yet every word still sounded sharp, for she had been a beast her whole life.

It all changed a few days ago, exactly when the catastrophe happened.

Li Household learned about an existence strong enough to kill family heads. Even Darkened Soul feared them, and they were known for their cruelty.

Li Xiao didn\'t say anything. He saw a young himself in this distant relative. If he were her age, he probably wouldn\'t accept the death, too.

"You are our household\'s greatest prodigy. I feared you," Li Xiao said, his surprising words filling the lady\'s heart with pride, "You were the same as me, though. You were cruel, greedy, and selfish, sacrificing people left and right in the dungeons for your own gain.

I\'m sure you have a man you wouldn\'t sacrifice, just like I had my wife." Li Xiao added before explaining, "If we want our household to survive and keep our bloodline going in this world, we must sacrifice ourselves this time.

Even if we leave behind the weakest descendants, there\'s a chance they will give birth to prodigies like us. It will take time, but our house will never crumble should they adapt to the new changes.

And for that, I had a good talk with Li Tao." Li Xiao concluded.

His greatest prodigy didn\'t like his words, though. She lifted her eyes, glaring at him before saying, "You are right, grandpa. I am selfish! I won\'t die just because you want me to die! I don\'t fucking care about this household.

If I can\'t rule it and benefit from the resources, then I might as well change the sides! If our intel is correct, the enemy is a harem-seeking idiot. I will spread my legs, have him ravage my insides, then enjoy life with luxury!"

Li Xiao\'s other family members glared at the lady, for she was a truly disrespectful and unfilial girl.

Li Xiao\'s face remained stoic. He had intel about Max. He knew what had happened in other parts of the world, and he was, in fact, happy that he took a different route than his other two old buddies.

He wanted to control people in a good way, lying to them. But that desire quickly proved to be a blessing, for they could use it alongside their sacrifice to keep their household intact.

Thus, Li Xiao knew that his newest prodigy had no chance of surviving and getting Max\'s trust.

Yes, she was cute. But Max had dragons whose beauty transcended every woman on Earth. Even better, he had girls swarming him already, yet no one had seen him doing anything other than teasing.

He saved all love and affection for the twin dragons. And everyone could see it, for these three were virgins who had just tasted the adultery. Their change was quick, palpable, and just too obvious.

SLAP!

"You are free to run, then," Li Xiao said after slapping the girl. He curved his lips into a faint smile after seeing her shocked expression, for she had never been slapped.

No one was strong enough or bold enough to do it.

Thus, it was the first time she had her face slapped.

"Go and die!" the lady said before running away.

Li Xiao replied emotionlessly, "I will."
