Dragon Master novel Maximilian novel Chapter 871

Jude was gradually getting tired of explaining everything repeatedly to the curator. Though it was no doubt her duty was to perfectly solve the case as soon as possible, it was quite unreasonable for the curator to keep blaming Jude for everything.

Seeing Jude was forced by the curator into a dilemma, Maximilian intervened and said, "Sir, I don't think it is appropriate for you to be so aggressive towards our policewoman officer. She has promised that she would work on this case, and you'd better be grateful and patient for that."

The curator turned to Maximilian with his teeth gritted and shouted, "And who the hell are you? I guess it is nothing to do with you, stranger!"

The aggressive manner of him had sickened Maximilian and Jude and gradually drove them out of patience. Jude raised her head with a cold countenance in her eyes and answered, "Excuse me, he is my friend, Mr. curator. And since it seems that you're not so satisfied with me working on this case, I guess I'd better hand it over to someone else whom you could trust."

It was obvious that Jude's words had panicked the curator. Anxiety and impulsiveness had previously possessed his mind, and now he finally realized that it was not a proper way to ask for help. 

He then bowed his head and apologized, "Please don't, Miss. Jude. I apologize for being rude previously, and you have my trust in this case."

Jude answered plainly, "Very well, It seems that we have successfully reached an agreement." Jude chose to forget about his perfectly awful attitude towards her and focus again on the theft case.

"Oh, It's so kind for you to accept my sincere apology, dear Miss. Jude. Besides," The curator said and half turned to Maximilian with a squint at him, "I'm wondering why you bring along this ordinary man with you here."

"Excuse me, he is by no means an ordinary man. You can say that he is a professional I brought here for extra assistance, and trust me, he is even better than me at bringing this case to an end."

Maximilian was a little surprised by the sudden compliment of Jude, and he chose to respond with silence. The curator then turned to Maximilian face-to-face in a close distance and looked at him critically up and down, thinking that maybe what Jude said was right.

He then grinned and said to Maximilian in a flattering manner, "Oh, it's so nice to have you here, dear mister. I'm sorry talking to you in that way before."

"Save it. Just lead the way, and let's get this shit done as soon as possible." Maximilian rolled his eyes and felt sick to speak with him anymore.

Though the smiling was still hanging on the curator's face, he was actually ignited by the attitude of Maximilian and sweared to himself that this guy must be driven out of his museum immediately once everything was done.

Though Maximilian understood clearly what's in the curator's mind, he chose to ignore it and focus on his mission. Jude, holding Maximilian's hand, led him to where the painting was gone, and Maximilian was wondering whether he could solve the case successfully, since he was not an expert on this kind of affair.
