Back at Max, who was still teaching Lucy.

Despite facing away from them, he occasionally caught sight of the group drawing near with his Mystic eye.

Still, he didn't give them much care.

Soon they reached him, and even though the girl in front seemed reckless, she had some sense to keep a safe distance from a stranger in the wild.

"Hey you there! Are you a martial artist? Can you sell us your robe? "asked Amelia.

"No, and No, so just keep on your way," answered Max absentmindedly, his focus on Lucy. All he gave them was a passing glance.

Amelia got angry immediately, although she didn't like it when Charles Force others for her, but she still had that. ' i deserve everything, princess mentality'

The only person who ever refused her was her new bodyguard. She even got into a fight with him because of it, but he saved her life so she forgave him.

Larry was looking at his brother strangely. Normally this was the moment his brother start shouting, do you know who am I? Do you know who my father is?

But his brother was rather silent. ' did he give up on Amelia?' thought Larry to himself.

As for Charles, he was just stiff in a respectful manner.

Now that he's closer to Max, he could clearly tell that he shouldn't anger this person.

He didn't know where this feeling came from, since he wasn't known for his good intuition, but he trusted it.

Amelia glanced at Charles, feeling strange, somewhat disappointed that he didn't do his usual bullying act for her.

Amelia pouted and glared at Max. "do you know who am i? I am the daughter of the SFLH fashion company's chairman.

I just want to buy your stupid robe. You think I don't have the money? "

Larry looked at his cousin, speechless!.

Normally, this was his brother's words, and she would reprimand him for it, saying she didn't like to bully others and shit like that.

Still, she was his cousin, so he wanted to help her.

Fatty Larry ignored his brother for now as he spoke persuasively.

" friend, we really have money. If that's your concern, just ask for a price. "

Hearing the word 'money,' Max's lazy, uninterested expression disappeared immediately.

The simulator was currently useless, so max wanted to switch his focus to the second best thing that can help him grow, which is money.

But sadly, he was currently poor as fk, and he simply didn't have it in him to go do honest work, not with such power in his hand.

Max turned and looked at the Trio.

"SFLH fashion company? never heard of it. Is it impressive? "

Amelia looked at Max condescendingly.

"are you a country bumpkin? Well, let me tell you, we're a fashion company for superhumans.

We can even produce C-rank fashionable equipment. "

Larry on the side nodded, confirming. "her dad is the chairman and my dad is the biggest shareholder, so you really don't have to worry about money. "

Max's gaze flickered, as he asked fainting confusion.

"But your clothes look poor? Are you trying to deceive me? "

Amelia deflated immediately, wanting to take her clothes off on the spot. "it's my stupid dad who forced us to wear this plain clothes."

The invisible bodyguard wanted to slap his face, speechless.

Amelia's father was a smart person, and he had them do this because he didn't want them to grab attention while in the wild. However, he didn't consider his daughter's IQ.

"Can I borrow a phone? ". asked Max suddenly.

Larry was an honest person that didn't mind helping others, so he took out his phone, but he froze midway as he saw his brother respectively handing out his phone with both hands.

It was good enough that Charles didn't force and bully Max, but giving his phone away and being respectful above it made Larry think that his brother was replaced by a doppelganger .

Max could feel that Charles wasn't a good person, and he fell under the effect of his passive.

But he didn't care much as he picked the closest phone, which was Larry's.

Charles took back his phone with a faint, approachable smile.

Amelia looked at Charles, stunned! Same as Larry, but the most surprised person was the hidden bodyguard.

He always thought that Charles was a villain, a bad person with no integrity, but he seems to of misjudged him.

' when I take over the company, I might spare your life if you know what's best for you.'

Max didn't care about the interaction of the group in front of him. He was checking SFLH fashion net worth, liquidity, and the overall strength and network, making some calculations.

Amelia suddenly ignored her cousin's strangeness, and took a step back away from Max.

Since young, she had a strong feeling for people, or more accurately, she could judge people's intent towards herself.

After Max started scrolling down the phone, she started feeling danger from him.

It was something like how Max could feel malice directed towards him,thanks to his passive.

Earlier because Max never focused on them, she didn't feel anything, but now that she thinks back, Max's gaze earlier was cold.

too cold, as if looking at random trees or rocks, not a living being.

But still, she didn't worry much. She knew her strange bodyguard was following them, and she knew his strength.

Her bodyguard will definitely protect her if anything happened.

Larry was concerned with Charles, so he started conversing with him quietly so the two didn't notice her actions.

Max's calculations ended
