"Don't panic!" Maxwell smiled and put away the silver needle. "Your dad's injury is healed."
At this time, the purple-black color on Xavier's face had completely disappeared, and his complexion returned to normal.
Feeling the condition of his body, Xavier couldn't help but look shocked. His old injuries were all healed! His body felt relaxed like never before.
Xavier got out of bed and knelt on one leg. "Thank you, sir, for saving my life!"
"Get up." Maxwell said calmly, "Speak somewhere else."
Xavier stood up and said, "Sir, please follow me."
…
Several people arrived in the living room, and Maxwell asked, "Who are you guarding against with such a large formation today?"
Xavier smiled bitterly and said, "We have to guard against all the forces in Delington."
"I see." Maxwell was silent for a moment. "I came to you to revive Xelooe Palace."
Xavier couldn't help laughing three times and knelt down on the ground again. "Sir, I have finally waited for this day! Great! I am willing to work hard for you."
Leo and the Larson Family sisters also knelt down together. "I am willing to do my best for the palace lord!"
Maxwell suddenly frowned.
Palace lord?
After listening to it for a long time, he felt like he was in some cult.
"Xelooe Palace has been torn apart. The title of Palace Lord is not worthy of the name. Please call me Mr. Clarkson."
Xavier and others said in unison, "Yes, Mr. Clarkson!"
"In Delington, apart from you, does Xelooe Palace have other branches?"
"Yes!" Xavier said, "Colin Cartright has always been loyal to Xelooe Palace. Like me, he has been waiting for the new palace lord to come out and revive Xelooe Palace."
"Colin..." Maxwell nodded. He still had some vague impression of this person. He was still young at that time, and he remembered that Colin was the boy who ran errands for Nora.
Nora had told Maxwell that Xelooe Palace was torn apart and there were countless forces, large and small. To reunite these forces, one must have enough power. And Delington served as the foundation for the development of power!
Maxwell thought for a while and said, "Please tell me specifically about the situation in Delington."
Xavier calmed down his thoughts and spoke eloquently.
"There are four biggest forces in Delington."
"Except our Larson Family, they are Tyler Moore from the Moore family, Derek White from the White family, and Aubrey Fiddler from the Fiddler family."
"These three families are the biggest challenge."
"Among the three, the Moore Family has the strongest overall strength."
"Aubrey is the most insidious and full of tricks."
"Derek started from the bottom and is the most ruthless."
"There are rumors that the Moore Family and the White Family are planning to get married."
"Once the two families get married, they will become the largest force in Delington."
"Colin has been on a rapid rise in the past few years. He is considered a rising star. Although he is somewhat famous, his background is not as deep as these three, and he can be considered second-rate."
…
After listening to Xavier's introduction, Maxwell was secretly speechless. He really couldn't believe that there were so many forces in Delington.
"Mr. Clarkson, I plan to pick a day recently to gather together to encourage everyone," Xavier said.
"Okay! You make the arrangements."
"One more thing... Mr. Clarkson, please wait a moment." After Xavier finished speaking, he turned around and went out, and came back a moment later with a leather bag.
"Mr. Clarkson, here are the keys to six Hillside Mansions, as well as the keys to several cars. They are all things left by the previous Palace Lord, Ms. Summer. They've been empty for the past few years, and I've arranged for people to clean it on time. Mr. Clarkson, as the successor to the Palace Lord, these things should be handed over to you."
"Okay, I'm interested." Maxwell suddenly remembered the killer. "By the way... there is someone who wants to kill me on the way here."
Xavier was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily, "Who dares to attack Mr. Clarkson! I, Xavier, will definitely kill him without leaving any trace of him!"
"I didn't ask. The killer committed suicide. His body and the taxi are still in the forest five kilometers away. I leave this matter to you to investigate."
"Yes!" Xavier responded quickly, "I will definitely find out who instigated it!"
After a few more pleasantries, Maxwell left the Larson family.
Xavier and others respectfully sent him to the door.
A few hundred meters away from the Larson Family, the Larson family sisters were still following Maxwell.
Maxwell couldn't help but turn around and say, "You two, there's no need to send me off."
"We didn't send it to you!"
"We are following you!"
Maxwell was stunned. "Why are you following me?"
"To be by your side."
"We will follow your instructions!"
Maxwell waved his hand. "I don't need it, you can go back."
The Larson family sisters shook their heads like rattles. "My dad said that if you are dissatisfied, he will break our legs!"
"I'm not dissatisfied!"
"Then why let us go back?"
"Let me tell Xavier that it's not your fault. You should go back."
"My dad won't believe it! When you leave, he will still break our legs!"
"Yes, yes, he is very fierce!"
"..." Maxwell looked at the Larson family sisters with aggrieved faces and felt a little dizzy momentarily.
Bringing these two flowers to the Jerome family?
Victor might be angry to death.
"Mr. Clarkson! You have just taken over as Palace Lord, so there must be someone around you to take care of things."
"Yes, yes! Someone has to run errands to spread the news."
Maxwell nodded subconsciously and suddenly had an idea. "Do you know Hillside Mansion?"
"Yes."
The two sisters nodded in unison.
"Go there."
"Okay, okay! Just wait, let's go drive!" The two sisters turned around and ran back.
In an instant, the woman in green came back, "Mr. Clarkson, my sister asked me to accompany you!"
Maxwell rolled his eyes.
He thought these sisters were heroic heroines.
Now they looked more and more like a pair of silly girls.
"By the way, who is Emma, and who is Emily?" Maxwell asked curiously.
"I am Emily, and my sister is Emma," Emily said with a smile.
"Oh... you look so much alike."
"It's not like, it's exactly the same!" Emily said, "We are the same in every way! Even if we wear the same clothes, my dad can't tell them apart!"
Maxwell looked at Emily.
Was it the same everywhere?
High or low?
Size?
Depth?
…
Were they all the same?
It made people curious!
The sound of an approaching car interrupted Maxwell's reverie.
Emma drove a red MINI and parked nearby.
Emily took the initiative to open the car door for Maxwell. "Mr. Clarkson, please!"
Maxwell sat close to the back seat and couldn't help but take a deep breath. The girl's car smelled good. This space was a bit small! It was much smaller than Abigail's SUV.
Emily sat in the passenger seat, and Emma drove to the Hillside Mansion.
…
The Hillside Mansion was built on the mountainside, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with beautiful scenery.
It was the most luxurious villa group in Delington. Even the rich in Delington would find it difficult to own a residence here.
This was not just a matter of money but also depended on background and power.
Even some people who could live in Blonydens No.1 Courtyard were not qualified to buy a property in Hillside Mansion.
Nora could own a villa here, which showed that the strength of Xelooe Palace back then should not be underestimated.
It was already midnight, everywhere was dark, and there was no view of the scenery. The car drove straight to the door of the villa.
The moment he entered the room and turned on the lights, Maxwell couldn't help but be stunned.
Oh my god!
Was this a residence?
It was obviously a palace!
The Jerome Family's villa was quite luxurious, but compared with this place, it was just like a rough house.
After hastily visiting a few rooms, Maxwell said to the Larson family sisters, "I'm going to take a shower. You guys pick a bedroom."
"Ah?" The two sisters were stunned, their cheeks flushed, "Mr. Clarkson, we are all not in good health today... Can we do it another day?"
