"Don't do that again, do you hear me?"

Seeing Elena's injuries gradually recovering under the effects of the medicine, Sun Fei gradually felt relieved, but he still couldn't help but give her earnest advice again and again. However, his nagging and anxious manner made Elena, who was enduring severe physical pain, burst out laughing.

"Laughing, still laughing!" Sun Fei glared fiercely and said angrily, "If you're this foolish again, I won't take you with me when we encounter dangerous situations."

Elena's face blossomed into a breathtaking smile, her eyes bright, but she remained silent.

The stubborn look shining in those beautiful eyes clearly and unintentionally conveyed her meaning—no matter what, I will always be by your side.

For any normal man, when a stunningly beautiful girl, who is usually aloof and cold like an ice queen, reveals a bright smile, he will be completely captivated in that instant.

Sun Fei was no exception.

Elena's smile practically dazzled His King's eyes.

Unable to resist, Sun Fei lowered his head slightly and gently kissed those red lips.

At the Mount Arreat, the scenery was breathtaking, and the endless snowfall that had been falling for millennia seemed to have become even purer and whiter.

After the kiss, they looked into each other's eyes and both smiled.

At this moment, it was clearly not the time to continue their intimacy. Sun Fei took out several bottles of [ Full Rejuvenation Potion ] from his ribbon space and finally completely healed the Valkyrie's injuries until Elena's injuries were fully recovered.

"Our time is almost up for today. It seems we'll have to wait until next time to defeat the final demon, Baal."

Sun Fei was a little impatient because there was only one last quest left. Once he entered the [ Worldstone Keep ] and defeated the final boss, Baal, all the Diablo storylines on [ Normal Difficulty ] would be complete. According to the design of the computer game in his previous life, he should be able to enter the [ Nightmare Difficulty ] level. However, this world was clearly slightly different from the computer game in his previous life. He wondered what would happen next.

Sun Fei had a vague feeling that the opportunity for him to advance to the Moon Class expert seemed to lie here.

" Alexander, something seems to be happening inside my body..." Elena said, frowning. It turned out that after she risked her life to kill the guardian god Madawc, she also experienced the same situation where the golden flames entered her body.

Before Sun Fei could reply, a sudden change occurred—

A beam of milky white light shone down from the sky, enveloping Sun Fei's body.

"Leveled up..." This was a unique scene when a character levels up, but Sun Fei quickly sensed something was amiss. "Level one... Level two... Level three..." His Majesty the King was stunned by what was happening to him, because this leveling-up process had lasted for far too long. When the milky-white pillar of light disappeared, he discovered that he had actually leveled up...

Level 99?!

He actually leveled up to level 99 in one go?

How... is this possible?

I haven't even defeated the final boss, the great demon Baal, yet I've already reached the character level cap of 99. What will happen after I defeat Baal and his minions and gain more experience? Will I surpass level 100?

Sun Fei was a little confused at this point.

Sun Fei gained 8 skill points and 40 attribute points by leveling up from level 91 to 99 in one go, which can definitely be considered a great harvest.

When he opened the [Skill Tree], he suddenly discovered something strange—

The skill levels of the Barbarian's [ Whirlwind Slash ] and [ Leap Attack ] have reached an astonishing 24. Sun Fei clearly remembered that he had only added points to these two skills to level 3 before.

"Could it be from just now...?"

Sun Fei recalled the golden aura emanating from Korlic and Talic's bodies, which had all entered his own. Could it be that this aura represented the two ancient guardians' understanding and comprehension of the essence of their two signature techniques?

" Alexander, I think... I think I've mastered a new skill for using throwing weapons."

Elena, the Valkyrie beside him, spoke with a hint of surprise, confirming Sun Fei's guess. The golden aura that had followed Madawc's death had flowed into Elena's body, and Madawc's signature move was indeed [ Flying Axe Throw ].

When I returned to the real world, it was afternoon.

The Ajax forces remained silent, neither attacking the city nor making any other move. This eerie silence struck everyone except Sun Fei.

Meanwhile, Shevchenko and Ribery had already selected three hundred elite warriors and were preparing for their infiltration and departure from the city after dusk. The training of the reserve militia inside the city was deafening, and their enthusiasm was high. The streets were also beginning to bustle, and some small vendors were resuming business. The arrival of Sun Fei and the vanguard of the [ Wolf Fang Legion ] brought hope to the residents of Twin Flag City.

"Go to the Barracks and find me a junior officer named Emile Heskey. Bring him to me; I want to see him."

Sun Fei's order left Drogba somewhat confused. He didn't know why His Majesty the King would look for a lowly officer stationed in the garrison, and he descended the city wall, completely bewildered.

Sun Fei stood atop the city wall, gazing at the Sun in the sky, pondering what he had seen in the two brocade boxes yesterday.

"It seems we have no choice but to follow the advice of the Princess and Paris. Haha, these two women, who are usually at odds with each other, have surprisingly come up with the same suggestion. Is it true that the person who knows you best is also your enemy?"

Sun Fei chuckled inwardly when he thought about what was inside the brocade box.

"Reporting to Your Excellency, the head of the Soros Chamber of Commerce's Twin Flag City branch requests an audience." Just then, a guard's voice rang out from behind.

Soros Chamber of Commerce?

Sun Fei nodded. The Soros Chamber of Commerce of Commerce had finally shown up. His Majesty the King nodded. "Please."

"Yes, sir."

Sun Fei returned to the main hall of the enemy tower. Just as he sat down, the Ophiuchus Saint entered with a burly, middle-aged man who looked like a merchant and was about forty years old.

This man was nearly 1.9 meters tall, neither fat nor thin, wearing a light gray robe, with a thick, neatly trimmed light yellow beard on his cheeks. He had a square mouth and a straight nose, and his eyes were not particularly large. He always wore a faint smile on his face, and his light blue eyes even contained a hint of shyness. It was hard to believe that such a man, who looked shy at first glance, was the branch manager of the Soros Chamber of Commerce, a major financial conglomerate in mainland China.

However, Sun Fei dared not underestimate the man in front of him in the slightest.

Because if you look closely, you'll find that deep within those shy eyes glimmers a shrewd light that's hard to detect—only someone extremely bold yet cunning would have such a look. His faint, shy smile can instantly instill trust, friendliness, and humility, thus lowering one's guard.

This is a terrifying person.

If Sun Fei hadn't already learned about the rise of this Chamber of Commerce branch manager named Roman Abramovich and all the information about Ligue 1, if he hadn't known that this man struck fear into the hearts of countless bandits and sand raiders Zongheng the desert, if he hadn't known that this man was actually the most Bloody and terrifying figure in the Gobi Desert, Sun Fei might have been initially fooled by his expression. But now...

Sun Fei politely invited the man to sit down, but inwardly reminded himself not to underestimate this cunning fox.

"I have long wished to pay my respects to His Alexander, but I feared that I might disturb His Majesty's military affairs. Therefore, I could only wait until Roman Majesty had finished dealing with the complicated matters in the city before taking the liberty of coming to pay my respects." Roman said with a smile, his words were very polite, and his status was very proper.

However, the Barbarian's sharp sixth sense told Sun Fei that the man in front of him was observing him very carefully, like a shrewd businessman assessing whether a piece of goods was worth investing in.

"Did Manager Roman come to the most dangerous place in the whole city just to pay a visit to me?" Sun Fei asked with a smile.

The day before yesterday, Sun Fei, in a fit of rage, killed the heads of the seven noble families of Twin Flag City in front of this watchtower. In addition, the watchtower at the west gate is the closest to Ajax's army. With these two reasons, some busybodies in the city call this place the most dangerous place in Twin Flag City.

Sun Fei only heard this statement yesterday when he was chatting with the big, simple-minded Heskey. At the time, he just laughed it off and didn't pay much attention to it.

"Of course, there are also some gifts for His Majesty Alexander. The Soros Chamber of Commerce is, after all, a part of Twin Flag City Twin Flag City, and should contribute to its defense." Abramovich stood up and said with a smile, "I have already sent people to bring the gifts to the city walls. If His Majesty permits, I will have my men bring them up immediately."

"Alright." Sun Fei raised his hand, signaling the Ophiuchus Saint to give the order to let them pass.

Soon, a series of heavy footsteps approached.

Several warriors dressed as guards of the merchant guild, each with a strength of around One-Star Class, struggled to carry six large iron boxes, each about one meter square, and slowly and unsteadily walked into the main hall of the enemy tower.

To Sun Fei's surprise, among the people carrying the boxes was the big, simple-minded Emile Heskey.

Heskey clearly spotted Sun Fei too, his eyes lighting up. He immediately shouted in a loud voice, "Hey? Brother Sun Fei, what are you doing here? Haha, I was wondering how you managed to scare away Skinny Knight and the others with just a few words. So you're working at the West Gate watchtower? Haha, do you know? Just now, the esteemed Lord Alexander actually sent someone to invite me here. Am I really going to become his personal guard? Was what you said the other day true?"

Fifth update.
