Dimensional Keeper: All My Skills Are at Level 100

Chapter 1526  A Secret Force!

Max remained silent for a few moments after hearing her words, his gaze fixed steadily on Isabella as if he was weighing something important in his mind. The tension between them lingered in the air, heavy and unmoving, before he finally gave a small nod as though he had reached a decision.

”You got me,” he said calmly, his voice no longer carrying any attempt to conceal the truth. ”My bloodline is different from all the bloodlines present in the Black Dragon Clan. Do not misunderstand, it is still a Black Dragon Chaotic Bloodline, but it is not the same as the ones you are familiar with. It is stronger than any source bloodline or even the so called progenitor bloodline within the clan. In a way, my bloodline is the strongest variant of the Black Dragon Chaotic Bloodline.”

He paused briefly before continuing, his tone turning more serious as he chose his words carefully. ”Since I have already said this much, I might as well be completely honest with you. My bloodline is not complete. What you are sensing right now is only a part of its true potential. To fully complete it, I need the Imperial Bloodline.”

As his words settled, a deep silence filled the room.

Isabella did not speak immediately. Even though she had already suspected that something about Max was abnormal, hearing him confirm it so directly still left her momentarily stunned. The idea that his bloodline was not only a variant but a superior one that surpassed even the progenitor bloodline of the Black Dragon Clan was something she had never considered possible before.

After a few seconds, she finally spoke, her expression turning solemn as she looked at him with a new level of seriousness.

”I am shocked that you possess such a rare and powerful variant of the Black Dragon Chaotic Bloodline,” she said slowly. ”But what shocks me even more is that you chose to tell me this so easily.”

Her eyes narrowed slightly as she studied his face. ”From what I understand, this should be one of your biggest secrets within the Black Dragon Clan. Yet you revealed it without hesitation.”

She leaned forward slightly, her voice carrying a deeper layer of suspicion now. ”So tell me, Max, what are your true intentions? I do not believe this is only about obtaining the Imperial Bloodline. There is something more behind your words.”

Max did not avoid her gaze. Instead, he met it directly, his expression calm but firm. ”You are right,” he said, nodding his head slightly. ”It is not just about the Imperial Bloodline.”

He paused for a moment before continuing, his tone steady and straightforward. ”I am telling you this because I need your loyalty and your trust.”

Isabellaʼs brows furrowed immediately upon hearing that. ”What do you mean?” she asked, her voice sharp as confusion and caution mixed within her eyes.

Max did not hesitate after hearing her question. ”I am creating a secret force,” he said plainly. ”And I want you to be a part of it.”

For a brief moment, Isabella simply stared at him, and then a light laugh escaped her lips. It was not mocking, but there was clear disbelief in it as she leaned back slightly.

”A secret force?” she repeated, her tone almost amused. ”And what exactly is in it for me?”

Her eyes, however, did not lose their sharpness. Beneath that light reaction, she was already analyzing his intent, trying to determine whether he was serious or simply speaking out of ambition without substance.

Max did not react to her laughter. Instead, he answered without any change in his expression, his voice steady and confident.

”Aside from the fact that I can make you strong enough to surpass Zain Heron even before you fully awaken your Imperial Bloodline, you should understand one more thing,” he said. ”Every individual I recruit into this force will not be ordinary. They will be people who can stand at the highest level among the geniuses of the Divine Realm.”

His words were not loud, yet they carried an undeniable conviction that made them difficult to dismiss.

He continued, his gaze sharpening slightly as he looked directly at her. ”Letʼs be honest, Isabella. In a few years, you will fully awaken your Imperial Bloodline, and you will become the true Saintess of the Black Dragon Clan. That path is already set for you.”

He paused for a brief moment before asking in a quieter tone, ”But is that really enough for you?”

Isabellaʼs expression shifted subtly.

Max leaned forward slightly, his voice gaining a deeper intensity as he spoke. ”Are you satisfied with becoming the strongest genius of the Black Dragon Clan, a third rate force that stands near the bottom of the Divine Realm? Are you willing to spend your entire life within the boundaries of this clan without ever truly understanding how vast this world really is?”

Each word struck with precision, targeting the very core of her ambition.

Then, his tone changed once more, becoming calm yet filled with absolute certainty. ”I can take you beyond that. I can make you reach the peak of the Divine Realm. I can elevate your talent and potential to a level where you can stand alongside the geniuses of the first rate forces, not beneath them.”

His eyes locked onto hers as he delivered the final condition. ”But only if you are willing to join my force and be loyal to me.”

The room fell silent once again.

This time, Isabella did not laugh.

Her expression turned completely solemn as she looked at Max, her earlier amusement gone without a trace. At first, she had thought his words about creating a secret force were nothing more than a passing idea, perhaps even arrogance. However, as she listened to him speak, she realized that there was no hesitation or uncertainty in his tone. He was not joking.

He had already decided this path.

And more importantly, he truly believed in what he was saying.
