That man hid himself very cleverly, making it hard for ordinary people to find him. However, no matter how well he hid himself, he failed to escape Maximilian’s eagle eyes.
Seeing that the man was still there, Maximilian said to the women, "You guys get out of here now, and go together, but don’t get out of the company. I have something to do."
Victoria knew that Maximilian was going to catch the killer. She told him, "Be careful."
Maximilian gave a faint smile and left.
"Tsk, I thought he was good, but what’s he doing now?" The killer hiding in the shadow sneered. He had originally believed that Maximilian was a master, but it turned out that he was just so so.
Maximilian would burst into laughter if he knew what the killer was thinking right now.
The killer yawned and said complacently, "Seems that everything is ready. It’s time to start now."
It was just a tentative idea of his, and the killer wanted to play the role of a cat, playing with his prey, Maximilian. But at the thought of the order given by his boss, the killer started to take actions at once.
He had thought that Maximilian was a master, but it turned out that he was just an ordinary person, so the killer dismissed Maximilian. He began to aim at the target, only to find that Victoria and the others had already left the office.
The killer was not surprised at such a result at all and prepared to move to another place. For a moment, he ignored Maximilian, because when Maximilian walked out, he managed to create an impression that he got into a taxi.
However, what the killer didn’t know was that Maximilian was approaching him. When the killer found Victoria again, he sighed, "She’s such a beautiful lady. What a pity! She will be killed today. So much for the tragic end of such a beauty."
Just at the moment when he was about to pull the trigger, a gust of wind roared past his ears. The killer saw a shadow and then blacked out.
Watching the fainted killer, Maximilian began to frisk him, but found nothing useful.
Maximilian frowned slightly, puzzled. Didn’t this guy take anything with him? Maximilian thought to himself in annoyance.
Maximilian could only kick the killer to wake him up, hoping that he could get some useful information out of him.
When the killer woke up, he saw a big figure in front of him and was dumbfounded. What was going on? How come this guy appeared here?
"You’re Maximilian!" The killer saw Maximilian’s face clearly and exclaimed.
Maximilian said with a smile, "You actually know me. It seems that I’m quite famous."
"Well, who doesn’t know you? You’re the famous young master of the Dragon Sect." The killer said in a sarcastic tone. In fact, he was flustered inside. He thought of the historical stories and concluded that only the tough ones survived, which was why he acted abnormally.
Maximilian was a little surprised. He didn’t expect that the killer would taunt him under such circumstances, but still noticed that the killer’s legs were trembling.
Maximilian gave a light smile. He had assumed that the killer was not afraid of death, but it turned out that he was just a chicken.
"I’ll let you off, as long as you tell me who asked you to do this." Maximilian said flatly. He just wanted to know who was the backstage manipulator. If it was Dragon Queen, then the situation would be understandable.
The only thing Maximilian worried about was whether he had some other potential opponent, besides Dragon Queen and Head of dragon lords.
"Ashton asked me to do it." The killer said hurriedly. In order to save his life, he couldn’t care about anything else, but only give Ashton’s name.
The name "Ashton" was unfamiliar to Maximilian. Suddenly, it occurred to him that Harley had mentioned this man to him when he had left.
Harley told Maximilian that Ashton was sinister and ruthless, and far more dangerous than him. Even someone like Harley, who was so insidious and crafty, described him this way, so Ashton couldn’t be some ordinary man.
Maximilian gave a frown. He had assumed that after Harley was driven out, Dragon Queen would run out of counselors, but in the end, there appeared Ashton, who was even more merciless than Harley.
At last, the killer looked up at Maximilian and begged humbly, "Mr. Lee, can I leave now?"
"Yes." Maximilian nodded. He was just a killer who got paid to do this. Even if Maximilian got rid of him, it was to no avail.
Suddenly, a smile hung on Maximilian’s lips. He forgot one thing. Maximilian could recommend this killer to Chief Carr. He sent a text message to Chief Carr in advance, asking him to arrange for some people to lie in ambush at the foot of the mountain.
The killer had no idea that his fate was totally under Maximilian’s control.
As expected, when the killer went down the mountain, he encountered Chief Carr. The moment he saw Chief Carr, the killer was completely frightened. What happened to him was far beyond his expectation.
When Chief Carr saw the killer’s backpack, in which there were firearm materials, he caught him right away. The killer had a mental breakdown. Could he be more unlucky today? How come such misfortune fell upon him?
Although the danger had passed, Maximilian believed that there must be more to it. He had a bad feeling now, but couldn’t figure out what it was exactly.
