After thinking for a while, he sighed, 'It's fine. Fighting against the demon race, I was going to become their enemy anyway. So, it doesn't matter if they pay a little more attention to me.'

The corner of his lips' twitched at his blatant attempt at lying.

'Forget it. Instead of being worried about the demons, I should be relieved Alton and Wyomin don't seem to covet my Thunder Sword, my bloodline, or Death Energy.'

He wasn't too worried about them coveting his bloodline to begin with because he was pretty sure they must have already seen bloodlines like his, capable of increasing one's battle power, in the Central Plains, the mecca of Magus.

However, the same wasn't true for the Death Energy and the Thunder Sword.

The worth and allure of the Thunder Sword were evident by the fact that a Monarch Rank family—the Thunder Family—coveted it so much that they didn't hesitate to annihilate his mother's family, another Monarch Rank family, though weakened.

Fortunately, apart from their shock and surprise, he felt no ill intent in their gazes when they previously looked at him.

Of course, they might be hiding their intentions, not wanting to take action against him with so many witnesses. Though his instincts told him that wasn't the case.

Again, even if it was... the fact they weren't willing to take action immediately was more than enough for him not to worry about it for the time being.

"Young master, what is it?"

Suddenly, Lily's worried voice pulled him out of his thoughts.

When he turned his head in the voice direction, he saw Lily and Sera looking at him with worried looks.

"It's nothing. Don't worry." He said, not wanting to worry them about it too.

However, both Lily and Sera's expressions hardened at his words.

Though they didn't say anything, the looks they gave him told him they knew he was worried about something and they had to know it.

Sigh!

He sighed and waved his hand, creating an isolation barrier around them.

"I revealed two things in the battles a while ago, one a unique energy, and the other this sword." He said, lifting the Thunder Sword.

The duo looked at the sword in confusion, but as they took a closer look at it, their brows furrowed, recognizing it wasn't an ordinary sword.

As for the unique energy, Lily thought he was talking about the Nascent Energy while Sera thought he had to reveal the enhanced version of his bloodline energy that he had used to heal Sophie.

"So you are worried someone will target you now?" Sera asked,

Max shook his head, making them sigh in relief. Then, just as they were about to ask what he was worried about then, Max said.

"I'm not merely worried. I know I will be targeted."

After hesitating for a second, he told them about the demon Emperors, how he felt their murderous gazes, and about his guess of how the demons were going to target him the next time.

The duo's expression turned grim when they heard all this.

Sera clenched her dainty fists tightly and lowered her head. "I'm sorry. I know you are more about us than yourself. If I had not come here, you wouldn't have been worried so much."

Swoosh!

Max grabbed her shoulders and pulled her into his embrace. After he felt her emotions had calmed down, he pulled her back and looked into her eyes. "There is no need to be sorry. You are my woman, so I have to worry. But if you don't want me to worry about you in the future too much, become stronger."

Sera silently nodded.

As for Lily, she didn't have an emotional breakdown like Sera, causing him to sigh in relief.

"Young master, can you give me some of the energy you used to wake me up?" She asked,

Max frowned, feeling a little suspicious. "Why do you need it?"

"I believe it can help me awaken my bloodline. Once I awaken it, my strength will increase, and I will be able to–"

"Shut up!"

Before she could finish, he shouted, interrupting her. His shout made Sera look at him in shock, but Lily's expression was unchanged.

"Unless we can find a way to stabilize both sides of your bloodline, I forbid you to try to awaken it." He said, his tone stern and final, leaving no room for argument.

Hearing this, Sera realized he had gotten angry for Lily's sake, not because of something else, which made her sigh in relief.

She didn't want his man to be so weak that he would start treating his loved ones differently when put under pressure.

Lily met his gaze, "Then how are you going to survive the next wave? You want me to watch you die? Sorry, young master. I can't do it."

She started sternly, but as she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.

Max felt a pang of pain in his heart and was about to hug her to console her when his brows furrowed.

The next instant, a figure materialized within the barrier: "Sorry to interrupt you guys, but I have something important to talk about. I hope you don't mind my rude intrusion."

Lily and Sera were shocked when they saw who it was… Emperor Magus Wyomin.

Then, suddenly, they thought of something and put their guards up.

Wyomin frowned at this, but when she saw the sword in his hand, she realized why they were being so cautious and said, "I don't want his possessions, no matter how valuable they are, nor do I have some other ill intention in mind. So, you can be rest assured."

Max stored the sword and waved his hand, taking out four chairs, which made the ladies look at him strangely.

Ignoring their looks, he gestured for Wyomin to take a seat, "Let's sit down and talk."

After everyone sat down, he politely asked, "Please tell us what you want to talk about, Lady Wyomin." Wyomin looked at him, observing him for a second before saying, "I can see you are aware the demons are going to target you from now on. If you were just a genius mage who could fight across realms, I wouldn't have minded it much, but you are... extraordinary to say the least."

"Since you are better off alive on our side, humanity's side, I don't want you to die."

Hearing this, he asked in confusion and surprise, "You are going to help me?"
