Chapter 601 Bad Intentions
\'Royal Family\'s Knight?\' He determined the woman\'s identity when he saw her armor, and then looked at the man, \'This guy must be a Prince, then.\'
The Royal Guard proved his guess true by respectfully bowing toward the man, and greeted him, "Greetings, your Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Max\'s eyes flashed when he heard this, \'Crown Prince? So, this is the guy Lily told me about… Eric?\'
Tap! Thud!
Eric landed softly on the ground unlike the female knight who landed heavily, her armored feet sinking more than an inch into the ground, causing the dust and rubble to scatter.
The five, two men and three women, exchanged glances before one of the men, who looked quite easygoing, smiled and nodded slightly at Eric, "Hello, Prince Eric! Long time no see!"
The female knight frowned in dissatisfaction, not liking his casual greeting but remained silent when she saw Eric smile and return the greeting to the olden man, "Long time, indeed, Mr. Fuller. I hope you have been well."
After Mr. Fuller, the other four also casually greeted Eric. Each time Eric returned the greetings, he would announce their title, which made Max find out their identities.
It turned out, four of the five were either the family heads, or Elders of four great families of the Green Leaf Kingdom–Arasia, Fuller, Martell and Seidal. As for the last person, she was the family head of the family Max was quite familiar with–the Dalton Family.
The other man, who was an Elder of the Arasia family, looked at Eric suspiciously and asked, "Prince, you know this man?"
They weren\'t fools. Seeing how Eric was deliberately announcing their names and designations, he clearly wanted Max to find out about them.
Eric shook his head, "I don\'t know him, but he is a friend of my friend." Saying this, he changed the subject, his expression turning serious, "If you guys don\'t mind, can you tell me why you stopped him? You should be able to see that his companions need urgent medical attention, no?"
Mr. Fuller glanced at unconscious Lily in Max\'s arms, Max and then Eric before smiling, "It seems there has been misunderstanding. I just wanted to ask him who the person he fought was. But since he has already escaped, there is no need to find out."
Saying this, he glanced at Max and took out a metallic token, "I apologize for wasting your time, young friend. Here, take this. If you ever need help with something, come to my Fuller Family, I\'ll try my best to help you. Now, please excuse me." Swoosh!
After Max accepted his token, he smiled at Eric and others and flew away, looking at ease.
The other four frowned at this, but they didn\'t try to stop him. It was true they first wanted to know who Oliver was so they could take the Super Realmbreaker Spell he bought in the auction, but after watching the fight, and seeing Oliver escape, their priorities shifted. Now, they no longer desired the spell as much, they now wanted Max, who was in possession of such a strong Bloodline. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Max glanced at the remaining four, and said, "If you also want to know about his identity, you can ask the Crown Prince, he knows who that guy is. Now, if you don\'t have anything more to say, I\'m going to leave."
Hearing this, the head of Martell and the Elder of Seidel family hesitated before inviting Max to visit their families when he had time before leaving, leaving Arasia family\'s Elder and the Dalton family\'s head behind.
Max narrowed his eyes when he saw they weren\'t willing to leave. Just then, the Arasia Family\'s Elder looked at him, and asked, "Young man, you are Maxwell Garfield, right?"
When he asked this, the Dalton Family\'s head, the woman who seemed to be in her fifties, looked at him with a hidden glint in her eyes.
"Yes, I am. How do you know me?" Max asked.
If it was the Dalton family\'s head who had recognised him, he wouldn\'t have been surprised because he was enemies with their young master, Rael Dalton, and had killed another member of her family, but because it was the Arasia family\'s Elder who recognised him, he couldn\'t help but be a little surprised. After all, even if the Arasia family found out he was friends with Flavia, it wasn\'t likely they knew what he looked like, even if a few people did know, it was extremely unlikely a Five-star mage like him knew.
Just when he was feeling confused about this, he noticed the change in Dalton matriarch\'s body language. She didn\'t seem angry, but… excited?
\'What\'s going on?\' Though he didn\'t know what was going on, he knew it couldn\'t be anything good, so he became alert.
Elder Arasia didn\'t answer, and turned to Eric, "Just as Mr. Fuller had said, it was all a misunderstanding. So, we\'ll no longer bother His Highness\' friends."
Saying this, he left with the Dalton Matriarch.
Eric couldn\'t help but furrow his brows as he watched the duo leave. After they disappeared, he asked the Royal Guard to leave before turning to Max and saying, "I don\'t know what\'s going on, friend, but Arasia and Dalton families seem to have some intentions toward you, so you have to be careful."
…
Ray and Shasha\'s expression turned serious when they heard her. After a moment, Ray said, "Just as the Crown Prince said, those two families definitely have ill intentions toward Max."
"You are wrong." Shasha said, causing him and Emily to look at her in confusion. Shasha took a breath and continued in a grave voice, "You are wrong if you think only those two families have some ill intentions toward him. The rest of the four great families, and even the Royal family must be the same. Don\'t forget, they have witnessed Max use his bloodline to fight and almost kill Oliver."
