Chapter 201: Envoy from Lost Continent

Commander Zax smiled.

"You are free to go."

His voice was calm, almost too casual.

Then, turning to his soldiers, he gave an order:

"You are all dismissed."

The soldiers nodded immediately, saying nothing as they disappeared one by one—

Leaving only Max and Zax behind.

Max was surprised to see that.

Commander Zax observed Max’s expression and repeated himself.

"Max, you are free to go."

But then—

He hesitated for a brief moment, as if considering something.

Then, in a low yet firm voice, he added:

"Though you should be careful when you reach the Inner Circle."

Max’s frown deepened.

"Why is that?"

Something felt off about this warning.

A commander from the Union Vanguard warning him?

According to the deal by them and his sister, they weren’t supposed to interfere in his business.

But the sudden warning...

This meant—

It didn’t make sense.

Commander Zax crossed his arms, his tone turning solemn.

"Two days ago, a ship carrying the Envoy from the Lost Continent entered the East Region."

Max’s eyes narrowed.

"Envoy from the Lost Continent?"

This was the first time he had heard of this.

Commander Zax nodded, his expression dark and serious.

"Every three years, the Lost Continent sends an Envoy to the Valora Continent. Since the East Region is closest to the Lost Continent, they always arrive here first."

Max listened carefully, sensing the weight in Zax’s words.

Zax’s eyes narrowed as he continued:

"And their reputation hasn’t been good over the years… so you should be careful of them."

There were too many questions racing through Max’s mind.

But he asked the ones that mattered most.

"Why do they come here every three years? And what does their arrival in the East Region have to do with me?"

Commander Zax exhaled, his face unreadable.

"I can’t tell you anything about the first question."

Zax continued, his tone grave.

"As for what they have to do with you? Let me ask you this—"

"Who would be the first person they would take interest in after arriving in the East Region?"

Max’s eyes narrowed.

Commander Zax’s gaze sharpened, his tone carrying both admiration and warning.

"You might not realize it, but your name, your fame, and your popularity have reached an all-time high in the East Region."

"Your fights against the geniuses of the other regions went viral all over the Extranet."

Max remained silent, absorbing the information.

He had expected his popularity to spread since the battles were broadcasted—

But this fast?

This much?

It was beyond Max.

Zax continued:

"The East Region has never produced a genius who dominated the geniuses of other regions before."

"But you—at just Apprentice Rank—accomplished what many failed to do even at the peak of Adept Rank."

Zax’s expression turned serious as he posed the question:

"Now tell me, in this situation—who do you think would attract the most attention from the Envoy of the Lost Continent?"

Max immediately understood what Zax was implying.

His battles had shaken the continent.

His name had spread too far.

His strength had surpassed all expectations.

Now in this situation, the Envoy from the Lost Continent would bound to hear his name.

At that moment, they would definitely be curious about him.

Max sighed, shaking his head.

’Becoming famous is also a sin, I guess.’

His rise in fame had given him recognition, but now—

It had painted a target on his back.

There was no escaping it.

The Lost Continent’s Envoy would inevitably hear of him.

And the moment they did—

They would become curious.

Despite that, Max wasn’t too worried.

His mind was somewhere else.

The reason behind Envoy’s arrival to the Valora Continent.

He recalled his conversation with Alice—

She had told him that humans also existed in the Lost Continent.

But—

She never mentioned about Envoys.

If he had to guess why they were here—

Then the answer was clear.

It had to be related to the geniuses of Valora Continent.

After all, in less than seven months—

They would be heading to the Lost Continent.

If that was the case—

Then the Envoy’s presence wasn’t just a coincidence.

At least that was what Max thought.

Max turned to Commander Zax, his expression unreadable.

"I thought the Union had a deal and couldn’t interfere in my business."

Zax nodded, his face calm.

"It’s true. I wouldn’t normally care about any of your affairs."

"But… since I owe Sophia a favor, I thought I might as well use this opportunity to clear it."

Max’s eyes flickered with understanding.

So that was it.

This wasn’t about the Union Vanguard—

This was about Sophia’s influence.

’She really does have a lot of connections…’ Max thought.

Despite the favor, Zax didn’t seem hostile.

His warning felt genuine—not as a duty, but as a professional concern.

Max nodded.

"I see. I am very grateful for your warning."

With those words, Max descended, landing smoothly on the ground.

Max glanced back at Commander Zax, his expression calm.

"I will keep your words in mind. Also, I’ll inform Master Sophia about you."

With a casual wave, he soared into the sky once again.

Just as he was gaining altitude, Zax’s voice rang out—

"Be careful! You’re way deep into the Outer Circle right now!"

Max halted midair, briefly looking back.

Then—

With a grin, he raised his hand—

And gave Zax a thumbs-up.

With that, he put on the white mask with no holes even for eyes.

The mask was one complete mask of white color with no holes or anything.

Putting the mask on, he continued his flight.

After hours of continuous flight, Max still saw no trace of the Inner Circle.

This made him wonder—

’Just how vast is the Outer Circle of the East Region?’

It was far bigger than he expected.

Then—

A thought struck him.

’Let’s test that.’

With a simple thought, Max reached into his storage—

And pulled out a small leaf.

But—

This was no ordinary leaf.

It burned with black flames, flickering ominously in the wind.

Max examined the leaf, watching the black flames flicker ominously.

This wasn’t just any leaf—

It was the one given to him by Asha and her guildmate—

A key to the hidden headquarters of the Black Lotus Guild.

According to them, this leaf—

Burning with black flames—

Would guide those of their bloodline to their hidden base.

But for others?

It was useless.

Out of all the powers in the East Region,

The Black Lotus Guild’s headquarters was the only one no one had ever found.

It was as if it didn’t exist at all.

As though—

They simply weren’t living in the East Region.

’Let’s see which direction it leads.’

With that thought, Max let go of the black-flamed leaf.

The moment he released it—

It reacted instantly—

Turning back and flying in the direction he had just come from.

Max’s eyes narrowed as he reached out—

And caught the leaf midair, putting it away.

’So, their base is in the Outer Circle… deep in the Outer Circle.’

This was a revelation.

The Black Lotus Guild wasn’t hidden in some mysterious dimension—

Nor was it in some unreachable location.

It was right here—

Somewhere within the Outer Circle of the East Region.

For now, though—

He had no plans to go there.

At least, not yet.

’Let’s leave.’

Max thought flying towards the Inner Circle of the East Region.
