. As Max just waited in boredom, three individuals made their way to the meeting location in a car made to tackle difficult Terrain

The brothers Bruce and Jason and a third old man with a friendly smile on his face.

"Sir Theodore, I can't express how grateful I am for your help today.

After we are done here, your welcome as the main guest at my hotel. I will host you my self. " spoke Bruce to the old man.

Jason was in a bad relationship with his brother, thus he didn't try to befriend this Theodore. Doing so might even prove these disadvantageous for him, so he just kept quiet.

"not a big deal. That day at my daughter's marriage, it was all thanks to you It all went well.

I'm just repaying a small favor."

the smiling older man waved his hand, not caring.

Bruce smiled. "still I know you retired long ago. I am sorry for bothering you with this matter. "

"hahaha, Even if I'm retired I'm still a B-rank pet master. My bones won't rust so easily."

Theodore didn't think much of the kidnappers.

At worst, they would be some C-rank group, because criminals of the B-rank and above rarely do things like kidnapping.

in fact, such people let others collect wealth for them instead of doing them their self, thus he didn't think much of this trip.

The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.

Bruce smiled. Theodore might be old and weak, but that's how pet masters are.

And it's no reason to look down on them, because their real power is their pets.

.....

Max was currently using Mystic eye, looking at the phone screen on the cliff.

He could see a car parking close to the handout location.

He saw three people coming out. Max ignored Jason and Bruce, recognizing them from the net.

He focused on the third old man, even through his Mystic eye. Even through the phone screen 2 km away, he could feel danger from that unassuming smiling old man.

"fuck!. "

Max was a decisive person. Since he spotted trouble, he won't hesitate, especially since that money with his only way to grow for the time being.

"guess what Lu, it's your lucky day you get to use it.

Start on my mark. "

'yay'.

Lucy didn't care about the fact that she was about to murder someone. She was just excited to finally be able to use that.

"I'll make you stronger first, just in case, so don't be surprised and alert them to your existence.

I remind you to be careful, Lu."

'stronger?'.

Lucy wanted to ask if they're doing the dream thing again, but before she could, Max closed his eyes for a moment and she immediately felt empowered.

To make sure everything went well, Max immediately used;

-Crimson brilliance: your pet will enter a berserk state, boosting all its attributes by 300% and empowering all skills and abilities for 3 hours.

The sudden growth in strength made Lucy a little too excited, but she regained her composure due to Max's calling.

"Lucy, focus, go ahead and start.

Remember, make it foggy first. "

'OK'.

Max just watched as the trio walked to the burned plot of land, where he killed Kevin.

.....

Bruce looked at the surroundings. The deadline was only 20min away, but the kidnappers didn't show up until now.

Bruce was really annoyed by this bunch of criminals.

Stuff like this happens. It's just life.

But normally other criminals will negotiate or at least talk to him, but this one didn't.

In fact, Bruce didn't even know whether it was a woman or a man.
