600 Calm
A while later, Max and Emily returned to their inn, carrying unconscious Lily.
Emily's brows were furrowed together, she had a cold look on her face. Max, however, looked calm... frighteningly calm.
Shasha and Ray were waiting for them in the lounge. When they saw them, the duo visibly relaxed, and went over to them. "Everything alright?" Shasha asked, looking at unconscious Lily in Max's arms.
Max, however, acted as though he didn't hear her. Slowly, he walked past her, and went up the stairs.
Shasha couldn't help but frown when she saw this. It was understandable his mood wasn't good since his girl seemed to have been injured, but he could at least say something. She and Ray, after all, risked their lives to help them just now. If Oliver wasn't in too much rush... or was a little smarter?... he would've easily realized someone was helping Lily and Emily from the shadows. If he tried looking, finding them wouldn't be too difficult.
But now... he couldn't even bother to share a few words with them? She couldn't help but be dissatisfied by this.
Emily glanced at her, and silent Ray and sighed, "Don't mind him. He isn't in the right state of mind, right now." Shasha breathed out, "...I understand. But can you tell us what happened?" Emily glanced at the duo and nodded, "Max... he fought that guy, Oliver, and defeated him. Unfortunately, he couldn't kill him in time, causing him to escape. However... he won't be coming back anytime soon to cause trouble, so worry not."
"What happened to Lily? Why is she unconscious?" Ray carefully asked. He had met Lily and had to admit she was beautiful even with Elven standards. Furthermore, she was friendlyâafter finding out they were Max's friends, of courseâsweet and good natured. He liked her, as a person, so he was worried about her.
"She used some self harm magic spell, but there is nothing to worry about. She will recover soon." Saying this, her expression became solemn, and she added in a somber tone, "You two, be ready to leave the city at a moment's notice. As soon as Lily recovers... or if something goes wrong, we'll have to leave the city."
The duo was taken aback. Ray shook his head and asked in confusion, "Miss Lily, didn't you just say that the danger is resolved for the time being? Then, why are we leaving the city?... Is there some other danger?"
Emily glanced around and gestured to them to follow her upstairs. After they were in her room, she activated the sound isolation formations, and asked, "You must have heard about the Super Realmbreaker Spells that were auctioned a few hours ago?"
Before any of the five could speak, the Royal Guard pointed at the surroundings, and said, "See this destruction? You did it, right?"
Max finally ground around and noticed the tavern had crumbled into pieces, which were set on fire. Not only that, several buildings around the tavern were badly damaged. Fortunately, there weren't any buildings in the way of destruction caused by his 'Magic Finger', otherwise the damage would've been even more severe.
However, he wasn't thinking that but was looking at several people in the vicinity who were injured, and to his dismay, several ordinary people had died from the shockwaves of his fight.
Taking a deep breath, he nodded, "Yes, I was the involved party, but I'm not the one to blame. If you want to blame someone, blame the guy who had invaded the Royal Palace a while ago."
The Royal Guard's face darkened even more when he heard this, but just when he was about to last out in anger, Max added with a sigh:
"However, as one of the men responsible, I can't escape the responsibility." Saying this, he waved his hand and a storage bag flew toward the guard, "Please take this, repair the damages to the property, help the injured, and take care of the families of the dead people."
The Royal Guard reflexively caught the storage bag, and after hearing him, he looked at it, and then back at Max before nodding, "I'll do that. But you don't think you will get away with just by giving someâ"
Before he could finish speaking, a voice sounded:
"It's enough! You can retreat now."
