Chapter 756 Reunion

Chapter 756  Reunion

"Heh, at least you haven't forgotten me." The handsome man in fiery red robes grinned before looking him up and down. "You have completely changed, man. You were just a naive kid back then, but now… you have become a confident man. Not bad. I knew you were something when I saw you. That's why I tried to motivate you."

"…"

Max stared at him, speechless.

After a moment, he said, "I have to say the same to you. You have completely changed too. Back then, although you were arrogant and acted as though everyone was beneath you, at least you weren't shameless, but now…"

He shook his head while saying this.

This man was none other than Aaron, the arrogant prince who had mocked him in the Crimson Monarch's Legacy trials.

The corner of Aaron's lips twitched when he heard this and hurriedly looked behind him. Seeing his junior brother and sister weren't here yet and therefore hadn't heard him, he sighed in relief.

A short while ago, when they were still some distance away from the battlefield, his senior sister Margaret Adler had suddenly told him that she had noticed Max.

Understanding what she wanted, he had left the others behind and rushed over.

"Haha," He laughed and put his hand around his shoulders, ignoring the fact that Max was injured. "It seems Schwartz has influenced you quite a bit. You have started joking like him."

He then glanced at Martha and others and said, changing the topic, "Why don't you introduce us?"

Max nodded, "This is the princess of Green Leaf, Miss Martha Williams. This is her uncle, Armand Williams…"

He slowly introduced them to him before gesturing toward him, "And he is an old acquaintance of mine, Aaron Beruno. He is a prince of…"

Speaking until here, Max glanced at him, wanting him to tell which kingdom or empire he belonged to, but Aaron smiled wryly and shook his head, "I'm no longer a prince. Our kingdom fell just yesterday."

Saying this, he stepped forward, leaned down, gently grabbed Martha's hand, and kissed the back of it, "It's a pleasure meeting you, my lady. I have heard a lot about you and now finally got the chance to meet you, though the time and place aren't good."

Martha looked at him, "Beruno? From the White River Kingdom?"

Aaron nodded as he stood back and released her hand.

Martha asked with interest, her lips curling up in a teasing smile, "I wonder what you have heard about me, Prince Aaron?"

"Huh?" Aaron was speechless. He hadn't heard anything about her. In fact, apart from King Azaroth, who was hailed as a prodigy, he didn't know anything about the Green Leaf Kingdom and had said that just for saying' sake. Fortunately for him, just then…

"They are here!"

Someone shouted, and everyone looked into the distance, where thousands of mages, some flying and some running on the ground, could be seen rushing over.

"How many are there?" Max asked,

"Not sure, but there should be over 15,000 at least." Aaron said, and seeing everyone frown, he smiled, "Don't worry; more will come. Besides, the average strength of these 15,000 is a lot higher than the people currently present here, as the weakest of them is at the peak Four Star, while most are in the Five Star realm."

Everyone nodded.

Max then swept his gaze across everyone present and said, "Now, I believe all of you must have gathered enough war merits. So, follow us to the war temple and book a training room there."

Aaron raised his brows in surprise when he saw him address everyone as though he was their leader, and when he saw that no one seemed to find it odd, including Martha, Armand, and other Five Star mages, and they even nodded obediently, looking at him with… respect, he became even more surprised.

Leo, standing beside Max, noticed his expression and grinned, [You are thinking why everyone is obeying an early-stage Four Star mage, right?]

Aaron glanced at him and nodded. He waited for him to tell him the reason, but Leo just chuckled before ignoring him.

His eyelids twitched at this. If it was before he participated in the Crimson Monarch's trials, he would have been extremely angry right now and most likely would have attacked, but now, he just sighed before asking, [You are Leo, right? Why don't you tell me what's going on?]

[Nah. I don't want to spoil the fun for you, sir. Just wait and you'll find out.] Leo said.

Aaron raised his brows, but just then, he noticed Max and others were leaving, so he hurriedly said, "Hey, Max. Why don't you wait for a bit? Senior sister Margaret is here. Meet her before going."

Max frowned, but after thinking for a moment, he nodded.

Seeing him stop, Martha and others also stopped. Only after he waved his hand and said they should go without him did they leave, leaving Max, Aaron, Leo, and old man Juan, who, although had gotten seriously injured earlier, was lucky enough to survive.

Max glanced at him silently, which made Juan straighten his spine. Seeing this, he sighed in his heart and glanced at Leo, "Go, take him. First, buy whatever resources you need to cultivate, and from the remaining merits, rent a training room for as many days as you can afford to."

Saying this, he added via his bloodline sense, [Since you have just broken through, you won't need as much mana. Therefore, it would be better if you two shared a room.]

Leo gave him a funny look. [That didn't sound right.]

Saying this, he grabbed the old man, said goodbye to him, and flew away, leaving a stunned Max. A moment later, he chuckled, shaking his head.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Just a short while later, several people flew over, causing the duo to look over.

"They are here." Aaron smiled.

The one leading the group was the familiar, beautiful figure—Margaret.

When she entered the range of his bloodline sense, he realized she was now an early-stage King mage, which didn't surprise him at all as she was already a peak Five Star mage back then. He also noticed that everyone in the group wore fiery red robes similar to Aaron's.

"You all from the same institution?" He asked Aaron, who puffed up his chest and wore a proud expression as he nodded, "That's correct. We all are the disciples of the Fire Valley."

"Hmm? Fire Valley? One of the sovereign rank forces?" Max asked, surprised.

After Lily joined the Ice Sovereign Mountain, he had found out about the sovereign rank forces, and if not for the sudden demon invasion, he was entertaining the thought of joining the Fire Valley since it specialized in the fire element.

"Yes. That's the one." Aaron nodded. He then turned to Margaret, who was floating down, and nodded in greeting before stepping away from him.

He didn't know the reason, but he knew Margaret was interested in him. So, he left his side to let them talk. He was even about to order his fellow disciples to give them space, but Margaret swept her gaze over him, and he immediately dropped the idea.

Tap!

Margaret gently landed in front of Max, looked him up and down before saying in a neutral tone, "Master was right about you. You are indeed an extraordinary person."

"Oh?" Max raised his brows in confusion. "Master?"

Margaret narrowed her eyes slightly. "Crimson Monarch. Since we got his legacy, he can be considered our master."

"I see." Max nodded in understanding, but this made Margaret frown.

She then scanned him with her divine sense, and her frown deepened as she asked, "You haven't started cultivating Crimson Dragon Spell yet?"
