Lu Pain in the Ass

The more important Bukmid was to Marshal Maxwell, the greater the rewards.

It would have been great if Bukmid was Maxwell's own son, but unfortuantely, he wasn't. However, this didn't affect Maxwell's gratefulness towards Lu Li at all, since Bukmid was actually Maxwell's nephew. It was said that Marshal Maxwell's younger brother died in battle while protecting Maxwell, leaving behind his only son.

Maxwell would rather lose his own son than lose his deceased brother's only son.

Bukmid explained everything that had happened. He was a little generous in his explanation as he exaggerated the works of Lu Li and his team. According to Bukmid, Lu Li brought around ten people to rescue him and his legion from the brink of death. Then, the few thousand reinforcements crushed the Orc Shaman's army. The evidence was the rows and rows of slain Orcs.

"My judgment was correct after all," Marshal Maxwell said as he released his nephew and hugged Lu Li tightly.
