Keeping secrets was not difficult for Maximilian. Besides, Maximilian was even more curious about it since Aston was so serious.
“It’s better if you can do that. But even if you can’t, that’s okay too, because no one will believe you.” Aston straightened his body and turned serious. “Do you know about the Dragon Sect?”
Maximilian froze for a moment, and then he narrowed his eyes.
“I have heard some stories about it. It seems to be a very big force. “
“It is quite a force. But there are more organizations like it. There is also one behind my family. But I won’t tell you much about it. “
He didn’t tell which organization was behind his family because he wanted Maximilian to make a guess. It was a common method for him to use and the outcome always turned out to be better than he just told everything
Maximilian smiled and began thinking about organizations that were as big as the Dragon Sect.
It seemed that no organizations in this county could rival with the Dragon Sect. Only several organizations in other countries were as strong. He thought perhaps the Brooks Family swore their loyalty to one of these organizations or they might even been manipulated by these organizations.
“I’m not interested in your family background. Let’s talk about the order. I’m more interested in money.” Maximilian said calmly.
Aston felt frustrated, as he had not expected that Maximilian was not curious about it.
“Alright. I got a mission recently and our goal is to assassinate Master Benedict, an important figure in the Dragon Sect. He is one of the eight Dragon Lords, so he must be well-protected. So I want to use the best man I can find.”
“If you can join me for this task, I can be more confident. So I’d like to invite you to this mission.”
Maximilian was truly interested when hearing this.
Master Benedict was a firm supporter of the Dragon Queen. Now he was in City H for her. And the appearance of Kroopf was another explanation for it.
Maximilian wondered how Dragon Queen would react if Master Benedict was killed.
Noticing that Maximilian was pondering, Aston stopped talking, and waited silently.
Maximilian pondered for a moment and thought he could join this assassination. If he could find a chance to talk to Master Benedict alone, he could get more information.
“I’m interested. But shouldn’t you show some sincerity?”
Aston raised his eyebrows and smiled, “Of course. If you join us, I will send Leighton to accompany his son and his family will no longer be your threat. Besides, the 20 million dollars he used to hire killer will also be given to you.”
Aston used Leighton’s life and money as a chip to curry favor with Maximilian. By doing so, he can make a big deal of money and interfere election of the White Family’s heir. So it would not take long before the White Family became his family’s dependency. It was almost the perfect decision that gave him the most benefit.
Maximilian nodded with a smile, “Okay. So before the cooperation, I hope I can hear that man’s obituary.”
“No problem. I will be working on it now. I’ll meet you here tomorrow to make a plan.” Aston snapped his fingers with excitement.
“Young master, I have prepared as you asked. Now can I kill Leighton?”
“Yes.” Then he showed Maximilian what was going on the screen.
Leighton was tied on the couch and the butler was holding a knife while walking towards his master.
“What are you doing? How dare you betray me?” Leighton shouted in panic.
“Master, I have been waiting for this day for so long. Finally I can do it. 40 years ago, you killed the woman I loved most, do you remember? She was in my dreams many times, asking me to avenge her!”
The horror made Leighton’s hair stand on their ends. “I didn’t kill her. She did it herself and I could not stop her. She seduced me. I didn’t force her. You can’t do this. Let me go and I swear I’ll forget about this!”
“I don’t care. I only know that she wanted me to avenge her. So go to hell now!”
Then the butler thrust the knife towards Leighton insanely.
The blade danced up and down on his body.
“You bribed his butler?” Maximilian asked while watching Leighton turn into a corpse.
“I’m just helping a poor guy fulfill his wish. And I can help with yours as well.”
