Chapter 267
The Aries Faction guard looked at the three strangers as they approached.“We’re here to enter.” Max said as he handed the token to the guard.The guard frowned and examined it carefully.Then his expression changed.He recognized the token.This was not an ordinary invitation. It had clearly been issued by someone with considerable authority, most likely one of the faction’s elders or someone even higher.“This is genuine.” He muttered.The people nearby immediately turned toward them.“An invitation token?”“Who are they?”“Wait… they’re not waiting in line?”The guard straightened and became noticeably more respectful.“You don’t need to wait in line. Follow me.”The reaction from the crowd was immediate.“Hey! We’ve been waiting for hours!”“Why do they get to skip?”“Unfair!”Others quickly lowered their voices.“That’s how these factions work… Only those with tokens can bypass the line.”“They must have connections inside.”“Maybe they’re recruits already.”Riyah glanced at Max

Max knew Yueyin needed more time to recover, even after taking the serum. Her body had just gone through an operation, and the new mechanical arm still needed time to synchronize with her system.After leaving the slums, they returned to the Silver Rest Inn and rented a room for the two siblings. Before settling in, they bought them new clothes from a nearby stall. The clothes were simple, but at least they were clean and far better than the rags they had been wearing.Riyah helped Yueyin wash herself, taking care not to touch her injured shoulder, while Cang finally got the chance to take a proper bath. By the time they were done, both siblings were exhausted. They climbed onto the bed and fell asleep almost immediately.Later that night, Riyah sat across from Max.“Are you really going to take care of them?”Max shook his head.“No. I don’t have to take care of them. They should be strong enough to work for us. Shelter life isn’t about pity… it’s about survival. They’ll help clean,
Chapter 265
Chrisome’s departure only strengthened Max’s decision.He knew something like this could happen to any of his friends or Guild members. If someone became seriously injured or suffered from a condition that ordinary treatment could not handle, he needed to have a solution ready. He simply had not expected to need one so soon.’This should be fine…’The Arm Replacement Implant was his ace.Max had obtained it from Frank, a man who had once been a dependable member of the shelter. That changed after Frank acquired a skill capable of controlling the minds of other Survivors. Before the man eventually left, Max had taken the black metal box containing the implant.It was far more advanced than an ordinary prosthetic. The device was linked to the system and could synchronize with its user, adjusting itself according to the patient’s weight, age, and even combat style.Then there was the Hemostatic Vial.Max had obtained it after looting Alex, a Survivor who had badly underestimated his stre

Max raised the Status Crystal and focused on Cang first. The crystal gave off a faint glow as he guided Cang’s hand toward its surface.“What is this? Wait… You have a Status Crystal?”“Yep… Just put your hand here.” Max said.Cang followed his instruction, and a moment later, the crystal displayed the information Max needed.[ Name: Cang ] [ Title: Scrap Survivor ] [ Level: 3 ] [ Health: 75 / 85 ] [ Spirit: 30 / 30 ] [ Physique Rating: F ] [ Active Skills: None ] [ Passive Skills: None ]“Huh? You have a title? Scrap Survivor?”Max stared at the result in surprise. Riyah and Farrah were equally curious as they leaned closer to see the crystal.They were familiar with Survivor titles. During their journey, they had already encountered people with Beginner Survivor, Skilled Survivor, and even Expert Survivor.But Scrap Survivor was something none of them had seen before.Max immediately checked the title’s effect, and the result surprised him even more.[ Scrap Survivor (Title E
Chapter 263
Max’s group left the Cancer Faction’s gates in silence.They were still within the faction’s territory, so they had to be careful. Humphrey had made his intentions clear, and his arrogant attitude had shown them exactly what kind of man he was. If they provoked him further, there was no guarantee that he or his guards would continue to care about making a scene in public.None of them wanted a fight yet.Still, being marked as an enemy by an Elder was hardly something they could ignore, especially when Humphrey had openly declared his interest in Riyah.“I remember his face…” Max muttered.His expression remained calm, but the meaning behind his words was clear.Humphrey had made an enemy.Riyah smiled when she heard him. She understood exactly what was going through his mind.“Yes. We’ll destroy them once we get stronger.”Everyone in the group understood that Humphrey and his guards were far beyond their current strength.Blackreach City required outsiders to be at least Level 30 be
Chapter 262
Humphrey of the Cancer Faction was a prominent figure, even among the Twelve Families. He was one of the Elders and had earned his reputation by destroying two bases belonging to ALLIE’s Rebel Army.His face had the sharp features of nobility. He was approaching fifty, yet he still looked like a man in his twenties. His strong jaw, narrow chin, and blue eyes gave him a striking appearance, although his gaze often carried a naturally relaxed quality.His blonde hair was neatly combed back, exposing the unusual feature hidden beneath his brow.On his forehead was the mark of his lineage, a third eye created by the Cancer Faction’s unique gene mutation.The eye was not normally visible. When Humphrey walked around the city, he usually kept it covered with a scarf or visor. He rarely revealed it unless he was fighting because the eye was more than a symbol of his family’s power.Those who had seen Humphrey fight knew what it could do.It could pierce illusions, detect hostile intentions,
