Those ruffians, with eyes wandering from each other, dared not to stand against Maximilian anymore and despicably told everything about their employer to Maximilian.
It was not quite surprising for Maximilian since he had already known that these men were sent here by the nephew of the curator, and for those ruffians, it seemed that they knew nothing except the nephew of the curator had promised them a large amount of money for taking down Maximilian.
Maximilian laughed and asked, "You guys have no idea about what things your employer has done and what is going to happen to him, haven't you?"
They all seemed confused hearing the question of Maximilian. Maximilian then explained, "He is a criminal who has committed stealing, and all of his bank accounts have thus been frozen already. What makes you guys believe he would realize his promise in this situation?"
Those ruffians were first stunned and dumbed hearing the explanation of Maximilian, while afterwards their veined faces were all flushed with anger.
"How dare he fool us like that!" Shouted one of the ruffians.
"We should head back now and teach him a lesson for that!" Another of his fellows responded.
They then hesitated no more and rushed to the direction of the home of the curator's nephew. Maximilian, staring after them and watching their backs fade away, burst into laughter and yelled, "You guys'd better hurry since he would be soon caught and sent to jail!"
Jude was also amused by both the awkwardness of those ruffians and the words of Maximilian. Maximilian checked his watch, finding that he could still spare some time to accompany and help Jude.
"OK, let's move on to the next case, Maximilian. It is reported that two gangs in H city have recently been fighting with each other openly, which is a potential risk for public security. We have to stop them before anything unintended happens." Jude turned to Maximilian and said.
Noticing that the case she mentioned was related to the conflict between gangs, Maximilian reminded himself of the name of Connor, and thought that maybe he could ask for his help on that.
"However," As Maximilian was considering the solution for this case, Jude suddenly turned into a defiant tone and asked, "Are you sure that you're ready to come along? I suggest that you should keep yourself away from this case since it is not something that ordinary people could ever deal with."
Maximilian was absolutely not going to perform like a coward. He laughed and looked at Jude, "Well, I thought you had already figured out that I'm by no means one of those ordinary people."
Jude smiled and said, "I appreciate your courage, Mr. Maximilian, and hope you do not regret it later. This time, a team would come along with us, and we should…"
"I personally think it is not something that can be solved merely via the number of men, Miss. Jude." Maximilian intervened.
He was right. Though it was possible that those gangs would keep themselves restrained for a while if being suppressed by professional forces, they would soon revive afterwards when everything was settled.
