Chapter 216 Troublesome Children

Chapter 216 Troublesome Children

"That means you are here to marry my son?" Maximus concluded.

His son is really not a good thing, charming even a goddess from far away.

"That's right. According to High Goddess Ruliana, this is the only way to go," Elysienne sighed.

She didn't want to marry all of a sudden either.

Unfortunately, to avoid being assimilated by her God's authority, she needs to take this step.

"It's really troublesome," Maximus frowned.

Amara was just about to awaken her memory, and with another variable added, the chance of Liam coaxing his wife would plummet.

Just now feeling the curse of love, Maximus estimated that there is only a few months' time for Elysienne.

If this is not suppressed, Elysienne would become a puppet.

Such a good daughter-in-law Maximus didn't want to just give it up.

Thinking of a solution, he scanned her with the system.

[Elysienne: The Goddess of Love.

God's Authority: Love - 0.00012%

Curse of Love: 20.12%

Curse of Zealous Witch: 30.1%]

Gods have no inherent talent; it mainly depends on how much control they have to their God's Authority.

However, if measured by normal standards, Gods have a Rank 9 talent.

Furthermore, their strength is also tier 9.

Of course, all of this is fake, and only on paper.

Without great mastery of one's God's Authority, they are barely stronger than normal tier 8.

After reading the description of the curse of love and the curse of the zealous witch, he thought of a solution.

Looking at the frowning Elysienne, he said, "I can't have you marry my son for now, I'm afraid."

This brought Elysienne's face gloomier.

"Why?" Elysienne asked as dark thoughts began to emerge within her.

"Relax. Although I can't have you marry Liam, I can suppress your curse for now," Maximus comforted.

"Really?!" Elysienne looked at him excitedly.

But after thinking that even a High God can't do anything to her curse, Elysienne didn't have much hope.

"You don't seem to believe it?" Maximus smiled.

Elysienne just stayed silent, waiting for an answer.

"Hahaha, alright, this is what I'm talking about," Maximus took out a necklace.

While talking to Elysienne, he ordered his system to sift through all the items for sale that can suppress the curse of love.

Fortunately, he was not disappointed.

His system quickly found a tier 9 treasure, the necklace of unrequited love.

It acts as a reserve dam, to reserve the overflowing love you have for a person, then slowly release it.

Such an item cost him about 30 quadrillion, sending his wallet nearly empty.

"This!" Elysienne was shocked, feeling the aura released by the necklace.

Just by being near it, she felt her curse being suppressed.

If it were not for Maximus' status, she would've already grabbed the necklace without a thought.

"Here you are," Maximus readily gave her the necklace.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Maximus," Elysienne thanked him with a smile as she quickly bound the necklace.

Soon, she felt her curse being fully suppressed, giving her a few more years of time.

"Don't be too happy too early; there is also a downside to this necklace," Maximus reminded.

Without much money, of course, there is a drawback to the necklace.

"What is it?" Elysienne became nervous all of a sudden.

"This necklace is only equivalent to a dam; once it overflows, you're finished."

"Thus, you need to slowly release it so you do not get overwhelmed."

"This—where do I release it?" Elysienne understood and looked at him puzzlingly.

"Of course, to the source," Maximus smiled.

"To that bastard?!" Elysienne unconsciously muttered.

"Ahem, how to release it?" Elysienne quickly became embarrassed and changed the topic.

"You just need to regularly see Liam, and the curse will slowly subside," Maximus said with a smile.

"That's it!" Elysienne heaved a sigh of relief, hearing how easily it was.n.-0VelbIn

What she doesn't know is that hidden within it is Maximus' evil plan.

In the future, as Elysienne slowly releases this curse of love, she will fall deeper and deeper into the depths of the abyss of love.

Of course, it's also a good thing for Elysienne, making it easier for her to control her god's authority.

After all, Maximus would not do a bad thing to his future daughter-in-law.

After talking a bit longer, Elysienne and her believers left his manor.

Now that Liam is not needed, of course, they left quickly.

Moreover, Elysienne decided to develop a little further in the Arcane continent and accumulate money for her domain.

...

A year later, in Maximus' Manor, Training Chamber:

The wedding ceremony of Nathan and Zeo just ended a month ago.

This time there was less commotion; the two only wanted family members to attend the wedding.

There weren't any powerful beings that came to disrupt the wedding.

Such a peaceful wedding.

Maximus, as a father, couldn't help but sigh.

If only all his sons were this low-key.

First is Liam; there was a goddess on his trail and an awakening goddess waiting to erupt.

Elysienne came to Liam from time to time to release the trace of the curse stored in her necklace.

Although Liam was a little weirded out at first, as the months passed, he thought that Elysienne was just some fan.

After all, their reputation within the institute is not low.

With their father and their talent, they were quite famous as rising prodigies.

As for Amara, she was still absorbing the Origin Mana Pool.

Maximus estimated that it would still take Amara over 5 years before she regained her talent.

As for his other son, Max, he didn't know what was going on with that reckless kid.

He went on adventures with his little lover, Ella.

The two little battle maniacs didn't want to fight in the virtual world but instead dived into the real world.

If it were not for the many life-saving items of the two, they would have probably died countless times.

As for Neo, his worry-free son, he was probably the most peaceful among the siblings besides Nathan.

Aside from being a little lazy, if there was nothing else bothering him, he would not leave the room.

If not for the little girl who keeps coming to his house to disrupt Neo's peaceful life from time to time, Neo would probably stay in his room all day long.

As for school, Neo smash it all, so he can skip classes.

Besides the required activities and tasks, Neo can skip all the classes he wants.

The most troublesome son of his is the youngest, Lux.

This little money-grabbing son of his will offend anyone just for some money.

By now, Lux almost occupied the market within the Silverleaf domain, earning him a few quadrillions a year.

This almost caught up with his monthly earnings from the Myriad World Mall.

However, the cost of all of this is becoming the enemy of almost all the top firms in the Silverleaf Domain.

After all, the market that Lux grabbed is equivalent to them earning less money.

Fortunately, Maximus warned Lux to not offend a tier 9 force at all costs.

If that happens, Maximus would have a massive headache.

However, despite all of these cons, it made him sigh a little bit.

After all, his son is beginning to catch up with his wealth.

Fortunately, the money he earned from the sales of rare spiritual plants, is about a hundred quadrillion.

Moreover, after about 5 years, he will completely study tier 7 knowledge skills, techniques, spells, cultivation manuals, etc.

By then, his earnings would surely skyrocket.

If it were not for him using his system points to strengthen his soul will, he would probably complete this a few years earlier.

As for the girls, they were still his cute angels.

Coming and going from studying, they barely caused trouble.

The only headache is the pigs that come close to them from time to time.

Maximus strictly prohibited them from going out with these pigs so as not to be sullied.

Of course, if they insisted, the pig must undergo his butchering before proceeding.

The girls didn't react much to this; unless they found someone more amazing than their father, it would not interest them.

But how could there be a man more amazing than their father?

After reminiscing and finishing his daily routine, he came outside his training chamber.

Going to Skye, they started to fight as usual.

With air-popping sounds, Skye's fists and kicks resounded in the room.

This time they were fighting without spells and special skills.

As Maximus continued to glide in the room, Skye's fists and kicks hit nothing but air.

The excited expression on Skye's face began to frown.

After almost an hour without hitting anything, Skye stopped.

"What are you doing? You don't plan to fight me?" Skye asked angrily.

After all, she looked like a fool fighting with her shadow.

"Aren't I fighting you now? You just can't hit me," Maximus teased.

After a few years of fighting, combat almost became an instinct to him.

He can even think of other things while he lets his body move freely.

Such a perverted fighting skill almost made Skye give up.

If it were not for her Will being tempered a few lifetimes, she would probably have given up a long time ago.

"Then fight another round; this time you are only allowed to use half of my strength and speed," Skye suggested.

"Alright."
