While his wives and children were busy traveling and experiencing the changes of the Moonlight Empire.
Maximus was at work.
"Let's finish this quickly so I can join them..."
Maximus was here to replace the Tier 3 Aethercore Nexus.
"Now, let's see what the Tier 5 Aethercore Nexus is capable of," Maximus muttered.

"Unfortunately, I still don't have enough money."
Originally, Maximus planned to revamp the entire empire to Tier 7.
But his current income plus the discount couldn't make that happen.
