BXBX NOVEL Chapter 262 Family Reunion
Chapter 262 Family Reunion
"Huh~ Success!" Maximus thought excitedly.
Smelling the fresh air and feeling the surroundings without the presence of corrosive energy.
Maximus felt cleansed, purified of all impurities.
Skye beside him was also ecstatic, still unable to believe that they had returned to the Ethereum Realm.
"We returned!"
"Maximus, we are in the Ethereum Realm!"
"I can\'t believe you did it!"
Skye turned around and hugged him in excitement.
"Hm, we are home..." Maximus smiled, hugging her back.
"What should we do next?" Skye asked.
"Why don\'t we explore the empire first?" Maximus suggested.
He had already contacted his family through some means, but it would take a while for them to come to the empire.
While they were away, he figured he\'d explore the empire to see what changes had occurred in the decades.
"Alright."
...
In disguise, Maximus and Skye first visited the capital of the Empire, Moonshadow City.
Walking around, they saw a bustling scene filled with life.
People in their mechanical vehicles came and went to their destinations.
Whether it was an alchemy workshop, their own business establishment, assembly, school, training, or even just shopping.
As they were having fun, Maximus suddenly sensed an anomaly.
"A different frequency of amalgamation of will?"
All the people in the cursed continent had frequencies of will that they contributed to their ruler and their land.
Usually, each empire had a different frequency of will based on the way their Empire was run.
Like the people in the Moonlight Empire.
They had a pure golden will that symbolized the purity and prosperity of the empire.
However, just now, as he looked around.
Maximus saw a person with a different frequency of will.
Although he also had a pure golden will, Maximus felt it was a bit fake.
"Is it a spy?" Maximus concluded.
Without his strict supervision, spies seem to have begun to penetrate the empire.
As they visited all over Moonshadow City, Maximus noticed over a thousand spies.
Furthermore, their standing in the city was quite high; they were either rich businessmen, officials, or guards.
As for the army, Maximus didn\'t know, but it shouldn\'t be infiltrated by any spies.
The selection of the army is quite strict and in a different system than the rest.
It\'s basically binding your life and soul to the army, so even if there are any spies, they can\'t do anything.
Before investigating any further, he felt the continental teleportation array in the city move.
With the scan of his consciousness, he noticed they were his family.
"They are here," he said to Skye.
"Oh~" Skye was a little disappointed, hoping to visit the city longer.
"Let\'s go back later, as a whole family," Maximus said, meaningfully.
"That\'s right!"
...
In The Castle:
A table of food and drinks was being prepared as Maximus waited for his family.
Earlier, he had already transmitted a secret message about his arrival to Doran.
His arrival this time should be hidden as much as possible.
After all, if it\'s known that an individual can independently return to the Etherium Realm from the Abyss Realm, there would be problems.
Soon after, Doran guided his family to the room.
Seeing the excitement of His Majesty\'s wives and children, Doran excused himself without saying anything.
"Husband!"
"Dad!"
Seeing their husband/father in flesh, they couldn\'t help but tear up as they ran into him.
"Husband, I missed you..." Erica murmured, being the first to come to him.
"I missed you too," Maximus sighed as he kissed her forehead.
Not wanting to hog her husband, Erica broke the hug.
"Husband..." Hazel came next, looking at him longingly.
The decades they were away with Maximus felt like torture and they didn\'t want to experience it again.
Thus, upon hearing that their husband was back, they immediately stopped their training and activities and immediately came to Maximus at a minute\'s notice.
"I miss you too," Maximus said, kissing Hazel.
"Husband!..." His other wives also came to him one by one, expressing their longing for him.
Erica, Hazel, Luna, Livia, Angeline, Rose, Irene, Isabella, Emma, and Jane.
Looking at his ten beautiful wives who missed him deeply.
He couldn\'t help but indulge in it more, forgetting his children and grandchildren.
After a few minutes, seeing that their parents were still in their own world and not bothering them.
One of his daughters finally had enough.
"Dad, mother, we are also here..." Lily muttered unhappily.
"Oh~" His wives rolled their eyes at the extras who were bothering their love season.
If they knew they were this insensitive, they wouldn\'t even bother giving birth to these little brats.
"Dad!" Lyla didn\'t care about her mother and jumped toward her father.
"Did you miss dad?" Maximus asked with a smile.
"I missed Dad!" Lyla said, hugging him lovingly.
"Dad, how about me? Do you miss me?" Lily asked as she also hugged him.
"Hmm, I miss you all," Maximus said sincerely.
"Dad! We also miss you."
Lydia, Serene, Cyra, and Asha also swarmed him, expressing their longing for their father.
Looking at his daughters who grew up into fine young ladies, the smile on his face couldn\'t be concealed.
After taking care of his daughter, he looked at his rebellious sons.
"Dad..." Liam, who was holding a little girl, came to him with a smile.
"It seems that you are doing well," Maximus said, looking at Liam, who seemed to have tamed his wives.
"It\'s all due to Dad\'s teachings," Liam humbled.
"It\'s good that you know," Maximus patted his shoulder.
"Is this little Maya?" Maximus asked, looking at the cute little girl.
[Maya Shadowcrest:
Age: 7
Strength: Tier 1
Potential: Rank 8 Supreme
Physique: Immortality Nature Body (Dimensional) - A physique both loved and loathed by nature. It grants the bearer immortality through plants, able to absorb and grant vitality to all plants in nature.
Parents: Liam, Amara]
"I\'m Maya. Are you grandfather?" Maya asked with a little fierceness and shyness.
"I am. What do you think of grandfather?"
"More handsome and majestic than father?" Maya muttered after some thinking.
"What an honest girl!" Maximus smiled widely and picked up the girl, putting her on his lap.
"Mother told me that I should be honest in everything," Maya said seriously.
"Oh~" Maximus nearly laughed, seeing the devastated look on Liam\'s face.
"What about you, Max?"
"Dad!" Max looked a little embarrassed.
Although his relationship with Ella was good, he failed his father\'s teaching, not producing any offspring.
"Alright, no need to be embarrassed. Just take your time," Maximus teased.
After all without his backing, How can his son marry Ella?
"Grandfather, I also miss you!" Lila muttered enviously, seeing that her grandfather only took notice of her cousin.
"Oh, it\'s my most beautiful granddaughter," Maximus praised hurriedly.
"Hmph! I\'m glad Grandfather remembered quickly!" Lila smiled narcissistically.
"How can I forget you?" Maximus rolled his eyes.
This brat was the clingiest granddaughter he had; how could he forget her?
"Hehe, it\'s still my grandfather who loves me the most." Lila smiled and took his arms.
"Who\'s the one you\'re holding in your arms, Nathan?" Maximus asked, noticing a baby in Nathan\'s arms.
"This is Martin. He was born a few days ago," Nathan smiled lovingly at his son.
"You\'re quite efficient," Maximus sighed.
Nathan already had three children, continuing the glory of the Shadowcrest family at high speed.
"Let me see this brat," Maximus took the kid into his arms.
"Are you Martin?"
[Martin Shadowcrest:
Age: A few days old
Potential: Tier 8 Supreme
Physique: Asura Body (Dimensional) - The god of killing, the extinguisher of all things. This physique grants the bearer ultimate fighting talent and instinct, becoming stronger with killing.
Parents: Nathan, Zoe]
Looking at his grandson\'s physique, Maximus frowned slightly.
However, thinking of the Abyss, if Martin grew one day, he didn\'t need to be bloodthirsty and kill everyone for the sake of strength.
The Abyss Realm is a ready-made place for Martin to shine and have an unlimited buffet.
"G-grandfather?" Martin stuttered, apparently still not proficient in speaking.
"What a smart kid," Maximus praised, patting his head.
Soon after talking with his grandson a little, he turned his head toward his other sons: Sam, Luke, Neo, and Lux.
Especially these three, Sam, Luke, and Lux, who didn\'t even bring a girl to meet him.
"Come here, you four!"
"Yes, Father!" They unconsciously tensed up and walked towards him.
"Now, tell me the reason for your lack of progress," Maximus asked.
"Dad, I date a lot of girls. I just didn\'t find the one I can connect with," Sam reasoned.
Truthfully, during these decades, he had already dated thousands of girls, but none connected with him.
Although he was frivolous and had physical contact with all of them, Sam didn\'t dare to impregnate them.
That meant responsibilities, which was a hindrance to picking up girls.
"You\'re hopeless..." Maximus sighed.
He had noticed this brat\'s playfulness from the beginning.
Originally, he was quite happy that he could have a lot of grandchildren from him.
Unfortunately, this brat was a playboy through and through.
