Maximilian was slightly surprised when Thomas suddenly appeared. And then without hesitation, he rushed to Thomas with Victoria.
After entering the room, Victoria was already slightly out of breath after running.
"Thomas, what are you up to? Why do you seem to be a sneak?” Maximilian asked directly.
Thomas glanced at Victoria and said with a bitter smile. "I ran into something tricky. I don't know what to do, so..."
Maximilian nodded slightly and looked towards the small door at the end of the room. He said, "Can you help us get out of here?"
"Of course, I can, I'll send you out. Mr. Lee, can you talk to me alone later if you are free?" Thomas stared at Maximilian and said.
Maximilian smiled and said, "Okay, we can talk about whatever you want after I send Victoria back."
"Okay, that's just great."
Thomas took a big step to the small door, pulled it open, and walked out first. Behind the door was a secret passage, which Thomas had obviously prepared for his own escape.
Maximilian and Victoria followed him. They reached the parking lot after several turns.
"It's a good escape route that connects with the parking lot. Get into the car." Maximilian said as he walked to the Mercedes to open the door.
Victoria got into the passenger seat and Thomas got into the back of the car. After that, Maximilian started the car and drove out of the parking lot.
"This is a good idea for you to do a lecture, and we can keep it up in the future." Maximilian said casually to end the awkwardness in the car.
Thomas smiled bitterly and responded with some perfunctory words. With a burden in his heart, he was not interest in talking.
Seeing that Thomas was not interested, Maximilian stopped.
The car went back to the hilltop villa smoothly. Victoria knew they had something to discuss, so she got out of the car alone and walked towards the villa.
"Now it's just the two of us. Just tell me what's going on. Is someone bullying you or something happened?" Maximilian said as he took out a cigarette and handed it to Thomas.
Thomas took the cigarette and lit it up. He smoked for a while and then took out an envelope from his pocket.
After handing the envelope to Maximilian, Thomas said with a gloomy face, "Someone gave this to you. I hesitated for a long time about whether to tell you about it or not. The lecture was not scheduled for today. I hastily prepared it because I want to tell you something. Check the envelope first."
The envelope seemed very ordinary, just a simple kraft envelope. But at the seal, a black skull logo was attached.
Maximilian gently held the envelope with two fingers, and then said with a smile, "Inside is a bullet, quite large. It should be a sniper rifle bullet."
"Yes, I feel so too." Thomas said with his head down.
"What? Did someone ask you to assassinate me? Or did they want you to cooperate in assassinating me?"
"You are knowledgeable, Sir. I admire you a lot." Thomas said in a somewhat embarrassed tone.
Maximilian smiled and put the bullet into his palm, "I understand your situation now. How are you going to help me get through this?"
"I don't know their specific plan yet. I only know they are turning against you and will kill you. The time will be at the next lecture." Thomas said in a low voice.
"Good, then I'll wait for your news. Thanks a lot for what you did for me this time. If you succeed in helping me escape this time, I promise to give you enough benefits."
"I do not dare to ask for any benefit. I am doing this to save myself. I do not want to be manipulated by others anymore. I just want to live a free life."
After Thomas finished this, he opened the car door and got out. Then he stood by the door to bow to Maximilian and said, "Mr. Lee, I'll go first. I may not be able to meet you directly later. I'm afraid they have someone watching me. I will contact you with a cell phone with a phone number ended with 888. You must remember to answer it then, and don't take it as a strange call."
"I know, watch out for yourself." Maximilian said indifferently.
Thomas closed the door and turned to stride down the road. Maximilian watched him going down the mountain from the rear-view mirror with squinted eyes and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Although Thomas confessed sincerely, Maximilian found some of his words were not logical.
The biggest possibility was that Thomas was sitting on the fence, and was ready to fall on either side at any time.
Thomas revealed to him, so anyone sent by the Head of dragon lords could better deal with him.
