All of a sudden, Victoria felt that Maximilian was her whole world. She embraced him subconsciously, who smiled at her, “No sweat. You’ve got me. It will be tackled soon.”
Victoria was actually not that worried. She was grateful that Topyuan Group had come back from the dead but she didn’t want to experience the blow again.
Maximilian knew it was a face-to-face battle with Dragon Queen but he didn’t panic. Instead, he dealt with it carefully. According to the information provided by Victoria’s secretary, most of them were well-known entrepreneurs in H City. Maximilian also knew quite a lot of them. Although he might not make all of them change their mind, he was confident to make some of them.
Maximilian made a phone call without hesitation. If he could persuade five out of ten entrepreneurs, then the rest would be on the fence. Maximilian understood that these entrepreneurs were made to set against him so most of them were harmless to him except those who were hard to convince. Soon Maximilian found that Topyuan Group’s stock price became much more steady in spite of the attack. Then he decided to go with the flow and see what Connor and other powers would do. It was a great comfort to him when he saw the message from Canaan saying, “Master, I’ll pull out all the stops to support you. I’ve also got my friends to back you up.” He was pretty sure that he had got a good disciple.
Maximilian stretched himself before he got the call from Connor. “It looks like he has made up his mind.” He thought and smiled.
“Mr. Lee, why didn’t you tell me what had happened? I’m ready to bring my A-game to support you.”
“Well, I didn’t want to bother you,” said Maximilian ostensibly.
“What are you talking about, Mr. Lee? We are friends.” Connor was totally taken in and more determined to help Maximilian because he felt that they had been like a package deal since he helped Maximilian a few days back. Even if he couldn’t make it, he wouldn’t panic with Maximilian around.
It was not long before Victoria saw her company’s stock price rejuvenated slowly. She rubbed her eyes subconsciously as if she just saw a miracle. When she saw Maximilian back in the room, she couldn’t help giving him a hug because she knew it was Maximilian who had been helping her secretly.
It was not until then that Maximilian smelled a rat. He found that there had not been any sound coming from Grace’s room, which was suspicious to him. Upon thinking, he finally knocked on her room.
Maximilian thought she was out. But the door opened and Grace said rubbing her sleepy eyes, “Is there anything I can do for you?”
“Nope.”
“Oh, right. The woman we met last night is very famous in H City. She’s Jude, right?” asked Grace unexpectedly.
Maximilian was puzzled for a second, not knowing why she had investigated Jude. On a second thought, it made sense to him that she found it out since Jude’s identity was not confidential. Besides, Jude’s name had been on Newspaper with the headline of “The Most Beautiful Policewoman in H City”.
“Why didn’t you tell me about it earlier? I’d love to get acquainted with her. I want to ask her for a favor,” said Grace excitedly.
At the sight of this, Maximilian had to interrupt her and said, “Please don’t get too hyper. You might scare her.” Then he rubbed his forehead. He didn’t expect Grace to be so excited. He wouldn’t have believed that if not for seeing it with his own eyes.
“Last time when they shot my dad, I only knew that the moving finger had a wolf head tattoo. So I hope she can look into it,” said Grace with a grin.
