While Max was making angry grim look on the outside while looking towards the Moon. On the inside however his thoughts were, 'Isn't this too much of a reaction? I mean I did expect some sort of reaction from them but this is too much.' Of course at the moment the Blood Moon hadn't erupted yet but his spirituality was giving him enough warnings about it, for him to know what is going to come soon.
"So Klein I have to go back to where I live because of an emergency but I will first solve your problems in a few seconds and then go back." Max tells Klein to assure him about it.
Max then uses the Theft Authority on 0-08 to steal it. He also uses the Door Authority to seal Ince Zangwill's escape through spirit world and uses a simple lightning bolt to kill him. After getting 0-08, Max then uses Envisioning Authority to intimidate 0-08 into submission, and it does submit pretty fast. For extra insurance Max makes sure of its obedience by through Envisioning Authority by adding some psychological cues on it. All of this happens in less than 10 seconds.
Max then Envisions a paper with Ince Zangwill's address on it. And then he gives it to Klein saying, "This is the address of Ince Zangwill in Tingen, he is dead now. You can have his corpse collected through Nighthawks and get credit for finding him. Alright, so that's that I have to go back now."
Max takes back the concealment on the room and goes out. Klein follows him out with a thoughtful and a bit confused expression on his face. "Thank you for your hospitality Melissa, Mr Klein and Mr Benson but I have to be on my way now. It's quite late after all." They nod in understanding and have Klein show him out.
After getting out of the house Max says to Klein, "I will meet you tomorrow for some things but the reward for finding Ince Zangwill should be pretty good too. I will now go and not waste anytime and also remember whatever you do, don't look directly towards the Moon tonight it will become dangerous." Without waiting for a reply he uses Door Authority to go home and at the exact same time, the Blood Moon erupts focusing most of its might towards Loen Kingdom.
When he gets back to his home and his room, he finds his sister Eva sitting with Fors and Xio at the tea table. But as soon as he arrives he sees that Fors' face is changing from normal to a painful one and from his "insight", one that might lose control immediately. So he immediately uses Door's Authority to make a barrier around them to prevent any corruption from reaching them. At the same time, he makes a system using Sun and Tyrant's Authorities to prevent any major incidents that might occur due to this phenomenon and harm certain people that he has his eye on. In his mind he thinks, 'Of course I don't give a shit about who dies in it if that person isn't important to me, but I will have to save most of these guys just to camouflage my targets of saving and just not to put targets on their backs.'
"Sorry for being late keep you waiting, ladies. Are you alright Fors?" Max talks to them after setting up the barrier and making the system in under a second. Xio has a surprised expression because of the way he entered this place is similar to Fors' bracelet. Fors on the other hand has a relieved expression on her face and smiles towards Max with a thankful expression.
"Thank you for saving me from that pain. It was much more severe than before and I feel like I would have lost control if not for you." He just nods at her gratefulness. But he sighs inwardly while thinking, 'If not for me you wouldn't have been in such a dangerous position in the first place, so its the least I can do for my favorite lazy author.'
"So what are you ladies talking about?" He asks them.
"Oh we didn't talk much, after all you aren't that late. I was just telling Miss Fors how much I love her new bestselling novel Stormwind Mountain Villa." Eva replies. Xio just greets him with a red face. Other girls in the room also develop a blush soon after.
They talk about some general topics for a while. During this, the girls' breathing gets ragged and they have a really terrible blush. Of course noticing all this, Max loosens his ring a lot to preserve his and the women's dignity for the night. (A/N: Why do I write myself into a corner by writing about things like this?)
Xio then asks him, "Max you told me that you had something important to talk to me about yesterday. Can you tell me about it now?"
'Ah yeah there was that too. There's so much stuff happening today that I almost forgot about talking about that.' He speaks inwardly before asking Xio, "You are from the Dere family right?"
"Yes I am. You probably knew about that, though I still don't remember meeting you as you say I did." She tells him. And Eva looks at Max with an amused smile on her face at this but nobody notices this except Max. "Also I am pretty sure I didn't meet your sister before today either."
"Yeah you didn't meet my sister before this, she didn't go outside our home back then so only I met you back then. You will probably remember it later or maybe you won't, who knows." Max just shrugs at that. "Anyway the fact of the matter is that you should have come to the capital to have your father exonerated and get justice for him. Am I right?"
"Please stop beating around the bush and get to the point." Xio says with impatience.
"Alright then, I will just say it to you straight. You should stop involving yourself with those matters because they include the royal family of this country and multiple archangels." Max just drops the bomb on Xio.

So that was the chapter. Did you like it? If not then please do tell, what did you not like. Feedback is very important here after all.
This is mostly a practice novel for me to work out the kinks in my writing. And finding out what genres I can write about satisfactorily, hence I am including so much stuff in this novel. So I would appreciate any good suggestions that you guys make. I obviously know that this novel has many flaws, but I think with you guys' help I can make this better so thank you in advance for any good suggestions.
Recently I feel like except the romance, I am doing pretty OK in other categories of the plot. What do you guys think?
