Chapter 762: President William’s Offer
Without another word, he turned and began striding toward the towering facade of the Hunter Association Tower. Max followed close behind, his white hair catching glints of sunlight filtering through high arched windows as they moved deeper into the heart of the grand building.
The tower’s interior corridors were lined with marble floors that gleamed under soft, crystalline lights, and the walls were adorned with elegant pictures depicting scenes of legendary battles and ancient beasts being slain by heroic hunters.
A quiet hush seemed to settle over the hallways, the weight of centuries of secrets pressing gently on the air. Max felt the presence of countless powerful experts concealed behind ornate doors, and the occasional ripple of potent energy hinted at just how formidable this place truly was.
After navigating a series of winding staircases and guarded corridors, they finally stopped before a large, exquisitely carved wooden door inscribed with intricate runes that glowed faintly blue. Elder Liam turned to Max, his face regaining its solemn composure.
"Go in," Elder Liam said softly. "He’s waiting for you inside."
Max nodded, his expression unreadable, and reached out to push open the door.
Inside, the room was striking in its simplicity. Despite belonging to one of the most influential men in the Middle Domain, it lacked ostentatious decoration. There were couches of dark wood and cream-colored cushions, a simple wooden table polished to a high shine, and shelves lined with neatly arranged scrolls and crystalline artifacts. Soft daylight streamed through enormous windows, casting gentle patterns across the floor.
But Max’s attention was immediately drawn to the lone figure standing near the far window, gazing out over the city below. The man appeared to be in his late sixties, his back straight and imposing despite his age. His long hair, white as freshly fallen snow, cascaded down his back like a silken waterfall.
Even without seeing his face, Max could feel the pressure emanating from him—a presence as deep and vast as the ocean, yet so still it seemed to swallow all sound.
