'What the…'
Max was left wide-eyed by Lily's behavior.
"What about our permission??"
Max asked out loud, but he got in reply was the sound of a door being slamd.
Max could guess what Lily was going to do, it was not hard to tell since she was humming 'Ti to pack my bag, ti to pack my bag…', again and again.
*Giggle*
Grace giggled again when she saw Max's dumbfounded expression, but then Max turned toward her with a blank expression.
"What's funny?" He growled in frustration.
"Nothing."
Grace suppressed her giggle.
'This father and daughter pair really know how to make people laugh.'
Grace giggled inwardly.
Max wanted to say more but then he realized that he still had the phone in his hand and he was missing the main this that he wanted to do.
Grace also noticed that they got diverted from the main thing and her face turned serious again just like Max.
Both of them looked at the phone before Max spoke.
"Sorry about that."
Max apologized since he was the one who was wasting ti.
"It's all right, hearing an old guy being made fun of sounds good enough to not mind the delay."
Alex just waved it off, and although Max had another vein pop up on his head, he took a deep breath and cald down.
He needed to discuss sothing very serious.
"What do you think?"
Max asked.
"My guess is the sa as yours, it is the first SSS-rank gate."
Max's face turned somber as he heard Alex's reply.
'This is not what I wanted to hear…'
Max wished that Alex would've said otherwise, he wished that Alex said that it was not sothing like that, and it was just a special gate. But he also knew that it was what it was, and no one could change that.
The file that Max had sent to Alex contained the photos of a gate in Violet Country.
Unlike any gates seen before, this gate was golden in color, and there was nothing around it that could tell us about the gate.
The gate in the picture was 10 ters in radius, which was the largest gate found to date.
But the ones who saw that gate didn't want to believe that it was an SSS-ranked gate.
Everyone always thought that the rank gates that could go highest was S, but then SS ranked gates appeared, and people sohow still accepted it.
There were so predictions for the SS rank gate before, so people still got over the fact that one rank over the SS rank exists.
"The gates follow the color of the rainbow, so once the color sequence is complete, there will be no higher rank."
This was what people had predicted.
The F-ranked gate, which was the lowest rank was completely ignored.
"Maybe it is like a trial before entering the colored sequence, so it must not be important."
People ca up with theories that would match their convenience, so they never thought that if there could be one color out of the sequence, then what about more of them?
No one gave it much thought until now, now they were all afraid thinking if there was even a limit.
The ones who knew about the new SSS ranked gate already run away from the country, they didn't want to stay there just to die, in the end.
Max was feeling gloomy right now because other than his family's force, every other major force had run away from the Violet Country.
'Ran away like cowards!'
Max grunted inwardly but then again, he cald down.
He didn't know why, but he felt that Alex could solve this problem.
By now, Max was sure that Alex was an SSS ranker, and the sa goes for Alice and Ann.
From the mont he saw the three of them, he knew that the three of them were stronger than an SS-ranker is supposed to be, but now he knew why he felt that.
'Because they are SSS ranked.'
Max could only hope that three SSS rankers would be enough to clear the gate.
"What do you think we should do?"
Max asked from the other side of the phone while Alex looked at Luna, Alice, and Ann, who were standing wide-eyed after hearing his words.
Noctura was not actually focusing on the gate news as her focus was on Luna, and on observing each and every more on hers.
'SSS-rank gate already?!' X3
This was what Luna, Ann, and Alice were thinking.
It's not even been a long ti since the first SS-ranked gate appeared, and all of them felt that this pace was a bit too fast to follow.
'Is there even an SSS-ranked raider in this world?'
Luna questioned herself inwardly.
If one wanted to clear SSS ranked gate, then they needed SSS-ranked raiders, after all, there was no way that SS-ranked raiders could clear an SSS-ranked gate.
At least not until there were at least hundreds of SS rankers.
Then her eyes happened to et the calm and relaxed eyes of Alex, it was only for a second but it did et.
'Ah…'
Then she realized.
'How strong is he….?'
Luna knew that Alex was very strong, but even SS rankers were very strong for S rankers.
So, was he just an SSS ranker who looked very strong to Luna, or was he stronger than that?
'Is there even a rank higher than the SSS rank?'
'If there is, then does that an that there are gates with higher rank than SSS rank, as well?'
Luna got busy thinking about these kinds of stuff, she failed to notice Alex's smile when he saw her expression turn contemplating from that of shock, fear, and uncertainty.
"Hm, as I said before, co to my house, we'll talk about it here."
Alex replied to Max's question, but then Max curiously spoke.
"I'm not saying that I don't want to co to your place, but is there a reason for you to invite there?"
"Yes, I need your help with sothing."
Alex didn't hide it and said that he needed Max's help with sothing.
'Oh?'
Max on the other side of the phone raised his brow and so did Grace.
"I will co to your place in 48 hours."
Max didn't ask what help Alex needed, it was the first ti Alex asked for help, after all.
He was curious about what help Alex could want, but that's all, his main focus right now was the SSS-ranked gate.
Alex hung up the phone after that.
'Isn't it a bit too soon for the SSS-ranked gates to appear?'
Alex asked inwardly, and Sophia replied with a sarcastic question.
[And who do you think is responsible for that?]
'Ah, I see, I see…'
Alex nodded inwardly as he recalled what Sophia had said to him after he had cleared the SS-rank gate with Wyvern as the hidden boss.

Then Alex turned toward the girls and went to discuss the file that Max had sent, as for Luna….
