"Tap... tap... tap... tap..."
Exceptionally clear footsteps echoed through the basement, striking Aldap's heart one blow at a time like a heavy iron hammer.
Even Max raised his head and looked toward the door. Just moments ago, he had only been able to clutch his head while Aldap kicked him, yet his face remained utterly expressionless, making it deeply unsettling.
Then, under Aldap and Max's watchful eyes, a figure walked in through the door and entered their field of vision.
"Y-You... you..."
The moment he saw the newcomer, Aldap looked as though he had seen a ghost, his eyes widening round.
Looking at Aldap like that, then glancing at Max, who was staring at him blankly, Fang Li smirked.
"I only intended to sneak in and investigate, but I never expected to get all the answers so easily. I suppose dealing with trash like you really doesn't take much effort?"
Fang Li's incomparably mocking tone finally snapped Aldap out of it.
"B-Bastard!" Aldap kicked Max hard and roared, "Didn't I tell you to use your power to manipulate the reality here so no one could discover this place?! Why did someone still get in?!"
Max could manipulate principles and twist reality.
No matter what sort of principle or reality it was, as long as Max had enough power, he could manipulate and distort it.
Therefore, Aldap had always made Max distort the facts of his crimes. Even if they had truly happened, no one could perceive them, and naturally, no one could report that vile noble.
The existence of this basement was the same. It had always been affected by Max's power, twisting the reality that "there is a basement here," making it impossible for anyone to discover or enter it.
Yet Fang Li had appeared openly and without disguise.
