“OMG, I can’t...I can’t breath. I need to go to the hospital, or I’m going to die. Bro, bye.” Khalid turned around painfully and bent over like an old man and tried to walk away.
One step, two steps, three steps.
Seeing Maximilian did not say anything or stop him, Khalid finally relieved.
Damn it. After pretending being weak, thank God that he finally tricked Maximilian. He was so unlucky today, since he not only did not get any profits, but suffered a great loss this time.
Even all his apprentices died. He was lonely now. Why was he so pathetic?
Khalid thought to himself, then paid attention to any sounds behind him secretly. However, he did not hear anything, so he completely calmed down now.
After he slowly walked for another one hundred meters in that “painful” steps, Khalid thought it should be safe already, so he stopped pretending being weak and directly started moving ahead by using the martial-art tricks.
While he was celebrating inside and thinking about where to go, Maximilian’s voice appeared behind him, “Your wound doesn’t look bad. Your acting sucks. I could only give you one star for rating.”
Khalid got startled and directly fell onto the floor. His body slipped away for another ten meters because of the inertance.
“Oh, my waist. It got hurt so bad this time. After so many years, this is the first time for me to fail an escaping. I should’ve checked the lunar calendar before I went out. This is such a bad day for me.” While saying that, Khalid was massaging his waist while peeking at Maximilian. He felt like he ran into a predator.
He did not understand! How did Maximilian catch up with him? He was paying attention to the sounds behind but did not hear any steps.
Did his ears turn bad? Impossible! He was born with great hearing and was even counting on this ability to make money.
While trying to figure out what happened, Khalid’s stares at Maximilian turned alert, “Dude, don’t you know that you should respect the elder? Why did you scare me like this? If I got hurt from this tripping. You are responsible to pay for my hospital bills.”
Maximilian sneered, “Hehe, you yourself is lying on the floor. Are you waiting for me to help you get up? I’d love to help those old men who try to swindle people for money. But those I have helped in the past years didn’t end up well.”
Khalid rolled his eyes, “I’m not that kind of people. I don’t need your help. I’d like to lay on the floor, and sleep here tonight. Just leave me alone.”
Khalid was going to play dead till the end. Even if he lost the face today, he was not going to be Maximilian’s help. At least that would somehow save his dignity as well.
Maximilian just looked at Khalid smilingly, “I think I should send you to the hospital. Otherwise, what if you get sick from sleeping here?”
