A Few Hours Earlier…
In a small villa in the eastern part of the Royal Capital, Arasia Family territory, a middle aged man with silver hair and eyes was pacing about, his expression dark.
"How could that bastard become so strong when he was mana crippled until half a year ago?" He muttered, his eyes flashing.
This man was none other than Count Wiley.
After the incident at the Garfield family, he took his family and joined the Dalton family that then came to the Royal Capital, to the Arasia family.
As Max had guessed, it was indeed him who had contacted the Fuller husband and wife to kill Max and bring him his spatial ring.
In exchange, he had promised to ensure their safety when the Kingdom fell to the demons and gave them a safe passage to the central plains where they could start a new life.
Unfortunately, his plan failed and the duo died.
