Maximilian's face was taken over by seriousness. The guy was powerful. For the first time, he felt he might not be able to handle this situation.
Daniel sneered, "Is that all that you've got? I'll show you the true power today."
Maximilian still kept calm upon hearing what he said. He decided to make the move first.
Daniel was so surprised that Maximilian and he would fight to a draw.
Daniel became murderous. He looked at Maximilian coldly and decided to play his trump card.
"Stop."
Just by then, an old Taoist in white showed up. He stopped Daniel.
Daniel and other people were so astonished when they saw the old man appear.
"Master!"
They exclaimed because they were more than familiar with this man. They wondered why he showed up here after he had been missing for so long.
Some of them were so excited to see him. Their eyes focused on Maxmilian, coldly.
Daniel lowered his head like a child who had made a mistake. He didn't know what to say.
He didn't expect his master to show up right at this moment.
Maximilian furrowed his brows when he saw the old Taoist. He was their master, so he had the reason to help his disciples, which would make the situation worse for Maxmilian.
Just by then, the old man turned over and smile warmly. Then he apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't teach them well. They went down the mountain by themselves and made trouble for you."
Maximilian deicide not to blame the old man when he saw how kind and easy-going he was. He waved his hand and said, "It's fine. It happens to me a lot."
The old Taoist glared at Daniel and ordered, "Apologize to him, now."
Daniel knew his master's temper. Other people would do as he said when their master was out, but as soon as the master was back, he wouldn't dare to be rash.
"I'm sorry."
Daniel sighted and apologized with his teeth grifted.
Although the apology was perfunctory, Maximilian didn't ask for much. He just nodded.
The old Taoist said slowly, “Go back to the Qiankun Taoist Temple. I told you not to go down the mountain. Who told you to do this?”
Daniel didn't know how to reply because he was scared. He was worried that the master will punish him.
Maximilian was glad that the old man wasn't been partial to his disciples, or he would be in danger.
When Maximilian and Liliana went back, her grandpa walked out of his room. He said with a smile, "It's worthy of waiting. The key has been forged."
Maxmilian took over the key to the treasure house and got excited.
The priority now was to find the treasure house. As soon as he found it, all problems would be solved.
Maximilian knew the Dragon Sect was no home to him anymore. The Dragon Queen would do everything she could to prevent Maxmilian from getting closer to the treasure house.
Just by then, Harley reminded him, "Mr. Lee, the old Dragon Emperor, your grandfather, has mentioned in his last will that he who finds the key to the treasure house would be the future heir to the Dragon Sect."
Maximilian felt overjoyed when he heard the information. This was a great opportunity and might be a critical turnaround for him. He suddenly saw hope.
Harley looked at Maxmilian curiously. He still didn't know what was going on. He wondered why Maximilian was still so calm.
Were it him, he would have lost control.
Harley couldn't help asking, "Mr. Lee, it won't be easy to meet the Dragon Emperor."
"I'll find a way."
