The moment one of the Holy Knights mentioned that name, Clay froze completely.
"Maybe it was Maxwell…"
The knight had spoken almost casually.
As if he merely wanted to offer a possibility.
But the effect those words had on Clay was immediate.
His relaxed expression stopped moving.
Even the faint smile on his face disappeared.
For a brief moment, he simply stood there silently.
Meanwhile, inside his head—
Maxwell?
The main character Maxwell?
That Maxwell?
His eyes widened slightly.
Then immediately narrowed again.
A strange feeling rose inside him.
Confusion.
Shock.
Disbelief.
And most importantly—
Alarm.
Because if the rumors truly came from Maxwell…
Then things suddenly became very troublesome.
Very.
Inside his mind, countless thoughts instantly exploded one after another.
Wait.
Why is the main character even involved here already?
No, no, no.
Something is wrong.
Wasn't he supposed to grow stronger first before becoming relevant to me?
