“What? There’s news on Maximus whereabouts? Alright, I’m heading to East Aploth immediately!”

The masked man became quite stirred after hearing what Angela said over the phone.

While speaking, he quickly donned his coat, ready to step out. He was preparing to travel abroad on his private jet.

Raylee asked nervously. “There’s news about Maximus? Why so sudden?”

“The Epean professor has talked, sharing some experimental data and clues about Maximus. I must go there and deal with it immediately,” the masked man said, embracing Raylee.

“Ray–Ray, wait for me. I will surely save you! During this period, Jexburgh is safe due to the recent terror attack. All sorts of security measures are being implemented at their strictest. You’re free to move around, even attend school, but make sure you have Plumpy by your side at all times.”

Raylee nodded. “You should go and come back quickly, I’ll be waiting for you at home.”

After parting ways with the masked man, Raylee bought some fruits and made a trip to the hospital, intending to visit. Zachary,

In the end, the nurse informed her that the latter had already been discharged.

“He’s been discharged?” Raylee was somewhat taken aback, recalling that his injuries had been severe.

Though it wasn’t a gunshot wound, a slash on the thigh and another on the palm were certainly no small matter.

I can’t believe Mr. Macaluso. Does he really think those are just scratches?

Raylee was quite worried.

After all, Zachary was injured saving her. She simply couldn’t turn a blind eye to him.

She promptly called her homeroom teacher, inquiring about Zachary’s contact information and dormitory address.

Visiting him in person would certainly show more sincerity, wouldn’t it?

Meanwhile, in a self–built house on the outskirts of the city, a group of around ten men and women, each unique in their own way, had gathered.

Some of them were dressed up as white–collar workers, others as delivery personnel or handymen…

They were the main participants in this terror attack.

The initial act of terror involved five operatives. Two of them died, while the remaining three were captured alive.

To prevent the whole operation from being exposed, they adhered to Maximus plan and changed their meeting location at

the last minute.

A man, neatly dressed in a suit and tie, called out, “Mr. Maximus is here. Everyone please quiet down…

The noisy scene immediately fell silent

Though it was said that Maximus was the leader of this terror attack, rumor had it that he, a high–ranking member of WC, always pulled the strings from behind the scenes.

It was rare for him to appear on the open and meet with rank–and–file terrorists.

Several new members of the group began to show signs of curiosity.

The reason was that he was thoroughly covered up, his face adorned with a hyper–realistic mask.

Even his true height was a mystery, as the elevator shoes he wore added quite a few inches.

The man in the suit who had just spoken was also in charge of the recent terrorist attack, serving in a minor administrative role. Trembling with fear, he asked, “Welcome, Mr. Maximus. What brings you here?”

Maximus remained silent, his deep–set eyes shifting subtly beneath the hyper–realistic mask.
