Seeing Iris, the most beautiful and one of the strongest women in the Aeon plane, boldly hold Maximus's hand, they were shocked.
Although they knew the Immortal Palace Sect and the Shadowcrest family had a close connection, they didn't expect such a relationship to be involved.
Thinking of the silent acknowledgment of the Sterling family and Elfalhn family toward Maximus, along with Malgron's frankness and joviality, the top leaders of the families and sects became solemn.
They had thought they would have an easy discussion, easily obtaining Maximus's cooperation without much cost.
However, seeing his influence, they knew things wouldn't be so simple.
Seeing the leaders become more serious, Maximus couldn't help but smile inwardly.
It seemed he would get more from this deal than he initially thought.
