||
|
||
Commander Zax smiled.
|
||
|
||
"You are free to go."
|
||
|
||
His voice was calm, almost too casual.
|
||
|
||
Then, turning to his soldiers, he gave an order:
|
||
|
||
"You are all dismissed."
|
||
|
||
The soldiers nodded immediately, saying nothing as they disappeared one by one—
|
||
|
||
Leaving only Max and Zax behind.
|
||
|
||
Max was surprised to see that.
|
||
|
||
Commander Zax observed Max’s expression and repeated himself.
|
||
|
||
"Max, you are free to go."
|
||
|
||
But then—
|
||
|
||
He hesitated for a brief moment, as if considering something.
|
||
|
||
Then, in a low yet firm voice, he added:
|
||
|
||
"Though you should be careful when you reach the Inner Circle."
|
||
|
||
Max’s frown deepened.
|
||
|
||
"Why is that?"
|
||
|
||
Something felt off about this warning.
|
||
|
||
A commander from the Union Vanguard warning him?
|
||
|
||
According to the deal by them and his sister, they weren’t supposed to interfere in his business.
|
||
|
||
But the sudden warning...
|
||
|
||
This meant—
|
||
|
||
It didn’t make sense.
|
||
|
||
Commander Zax crossed his arms, his tone turning solemn.𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
|
||
|
||
"Two days ago, a ship carrying the Envoy from the Lost Continent entered the East Region."
|
||
|
||
Max’s eyes narrowed.
|
||
|
||
"Envoy from the Lost Continent?"
|
||
|
||
This was the first time he had heard of this.
|
||
|
||
Commander Zax nodded, his expression dark and serious.
|
||
|
||
"Every three years, the Lost Continent sends an Envoy to the Valora Continent. Since the East Region is closest to the Lost Continent, they always arrive here first."
|
||
|
||
Max listened carefully, sensing the weight in Zax’s words.
|
||
|
||
Zax’s eyes narrowed as he continued:
|
||
|
||
"And their reputation hasn’t been good over the years… so you should be careful of them."
|
||
|
||
There were too many questions racing through Max’s mind.
|
||
|
||
But he asked the ones that mattered most.
|
||
|
||
"Why do they come here every three years? And what does their arrival in the East Region have to do with me?"
|
||
|
||
Commander Zax exhaled, his face unreadable.
|
||
|
||
"I can’t tell you anything about the first question."
|
||
|
||
Zax continued, his tone grave.
|
||
|
||
"As for what they have to do with you? Let me ask you this—"
|
||
|
||
"Who would be the first person they would take interest in after arriving in the East Region?"
|
||
|
||
Max’s eyes narrowed.
|
||
|
||
Commander Zax’s gaze sharpened, his tone carrying both admiration and warning.
|
||
|
||
"You might not realize it, but your name, your fame, and your popularity have reached an all-time high in the East Region."
|
||
|
||
"Your fights against the geniuses of the other regions went viral all over the Extranet."
|
||
|
||
Max remained silent, absorbing the information.
|
||
|
||
He had expected his popularity to spread since the battles were broadcasted—
|
||
|
||
But this fast?
|
||
|
||
This much?
|
||
|
||
It was beyond Max.
|
||
|
||
Zax continued:
|
||
|
||
"The East Region has never produced a genius who dominated the geniuses of other regions before."
|
||
|
||
"But you—at just Apprentice Rank—accomplished what many failed to do even at the peak of Adept Rank."
|
||
|
||
Zax’s expression turned serious as he posed the question:
|
||
|
||
"Now tell me, in this situation—who do you think would attract the most attention from the Envoy of the Lost Continent?"
|
||
|
||
Max immediately understood what Zax was implying.
|
||
|
||
His battles had shaken the continent.
|
||
|
||
His name had spread too far.
|
||
|
||
His strength had surpassed all expectations.
|
||
|
||
Now in this situation, the Envoy from the Lost Continent would bound to hear his name.
|
||
|
||
At that moment, they would definitely be curious about him.
|
||
|
||
Max sighed, shaking his head.
|
||
|
||
’Becoming famous is also a sin, I guess.’
|
||
|
||
His rise in fame had given him recognition, but now—
|
||
|
||
It had painted a target on his back.
|
||
|
||
There was no escaping it.
|
||
|
||
The Lost Continent’s Envoy would inevitably hear of him.
|
||
|
||
And the moment they did—
|
||
|
||
They would become curious.
|
||
|
||
Despite that, Max wasn’t too worried.
|
||
|
||
His mind was somewhere else.
|
||
|
||
The reason behind Envoy’s arrival to the Valora Continent.
|
||
|
||
He recalled his conversation with Alice—
|
||
|
||
She had told him that humans also existed in the Lost Continent.
|
||
|
||
But—
|
||
|
||
She never mentioned about Envoys.
|
||
|
||
If he had to guess why they were here—
|
||
|
||
Then the answer was clear.
|
||
|
||
It had to be related to the geniuses of Valora Continent.
|
||
|
||
After all, in less than seven months—
|
||
|
||
They would be heading to the Lost Continent.
|
||
|
||
If that was the case—
|
||
|
||
Then the Envoy’s presence wasn’t just a coincidence.
|
||
|
||
At least that was what Max thought.
|
||
|
||
—
|
||
|
||
Max turned to Commander Zax, his expression unreadable.
|
||
|
||
"I thought the Union had a deal and couldn’t interfere in my business."
|
||
|
||
Zax nodded, his face calm.
|
||
|
||
"It’s true. I wouldn’t normally care about any of your affairs."
|
||
|
||
"But… since I owe Sophia a favor, I thought I might as well use this opportunity to clear it."
|
||
|
||
Max’s eyes flickered with understanding.
|
||
|
||
So that was it.
|
||
|
||
This wasn’t about the Union Vanguard—
|
||
|
||
This was about Sophia’s influence.
|
||
|
||
’She really does have a lot of connections…’ Max thought.
|
||
|
||
Despite the favor, Zax didn’t seem hostile.
|
||
|
||
His warning felt genuine—not as a duty, but as a professional concern.
|
||
|
||
Max nodded.
|
||
|
||
"I see. I am very grateful for your warning."
|
||
|
||
With those words, Max descended, landing smoothly on the ground.
|
||
|
||
Max glanced back at Commander Zax, his expression calm.
|
||
|
||
"I will keep your words in mind. Also, I’ll inform Master Sophia about you."
|
||
|
||
With a casual wave, he soared into the sky once again.
|
||
|
||
Just as he was gaining altitude, Zax’s voice rang out—
|
||
|
||
"Be careful! You’re way deep into the Outer Circle right now!"
|
||
|
||
Max halted midair, briefly looking back.
|
||
|
||
Then—
|
||
|
||
With a grin, he raised his hand—
|
||
|
||
And gave Zax a thumbs-up.
|
||
|
||
With that, he put on the white mask with no holes even for eyes.
|
||
|
||
The mask was one complete mask of white color with no holes or anything.
|
||
|
||
Putting the mask on, he continued his flight.
|
||
|
||
After hours of continuous flight, Max still saw no trace of the Inner Circle.
|
||
|
||
This made him wonder—
|
||
|
||
’Just how vast is the Outer Circle of the East Region?’
|
||
|
||
It was far bigger than he expected.
|
||
|
||
Then—
|
||
|
||
A thought struck him.
|
||
|
||
’Let’s test that.’
|
||
|
||
With a simple thought, Max reached into his storage—
|
||
|
||
And pulled out a small leaf.
|
||
|
||
But—
|
||
|
||
This was no ordinary leaf.
|
||
|
||
It burned with black flames, flickering ominously in the wind.
|
||
|
||
Max examined the leaf, watching the black flames flicker ominously.
|
||
|
||
This wasn’t just any leaf—
|
||

|
||
|
||
It was the one given to him by Asha and her guildmate—
|
||
|
||
A key to the hidden headquarters of the Black Lotus Guild.
|
||
|
||
According to them, this leaf—
|
||
|
||
Burning with black flames—
|
||
|
||
Would guide those of their bloodline to their hidden base.
|
||
|
||
But for others?
|
||
|
||
It was useless.
|
||
|
||
Out of all the powers in the East Region,
|
||
|
||
The Black Lotus Guild’s headquarters was the only one no one had ever found.
|
||
|
||
It was as if it didn’t exist at all.
|
||
|
||
As though—
|
||
|
||
They simply weren’t living in the East Region.
|
||
|
||
’Let’s see which direction it leads.’
|
||
|
||
With that thought, Max let go of the black-flamed leaf.
|
||
|
||
The moment he released it—
|
||
|
||
It reacted instantly—
|
||
|
||
Turning back and flying in the direction he had just come from.
|
||
|
||
Max’s eyes narrowed as he reached out—
|
||
|
||
And caught the leaf midair, putting it away.
|
||
|
||
’So, their base is in the Outer Circle… deep in the Outer Circle.’
|
||
|
||
This was a revelation.
|
||
|
||
The Black Lotus Guild wasn’t hidden in some mysterious dimension—
|
||
|
||
Nor was it in some unreachable location.
|
||
|
||
It was right here—
|
||
|
||
Somewhere within the Outer Circle of the East Region.
|
||
|
||
For now, though—
|
||
|
||
He had no plans to go there.
|
||
|
||
At least, not yet.
|
||
|
||
’Let’s leave.’
|
||
|
||
Max thought flying towards the Inner Circle of the East Region. |
