Clark's personality was just the same as what Maximilian had thought. He believed in Connor within a few words.
When Connor hung up the phone, he felt this was so incredible. What was happening here was beyond his imagination.
"You're as wise as always, sir," Connor exclaimed. Now he respected Maximillian even more. He would have lost the big sum of money without Maximilian's help.
Maximilian laughed, "You can get back on Rowen when you have enough money."
"Of course, I will," Connor nodded and replied. "An eye for an eye", that was what he had in mind.
Maximilian didn't leave until he gave Connor the money.
In another place.
Adviser Ashton and a cowering man were standing in front of the bedroom door of the Dragon Queen.
The Dragon Queen shimmied out of the room and flung her hair. The cowering man's eyes lit up as if there were burning fire in it.
Ashton was jealous. He kicked the man's leg.
The man covered his lower body and screamed.
The Dragon Queen sneered, "I heard you're Maximilian's friend."
"Answer her question, you!" Ashton pulled the man up and yelled at him.
The man kept nodding and said, "Yes, we knew each other from elementary school, but I haven't seen him for decades."
"I assume you have a nice relationship... then you can do me a favor, and in exchange, I'll satisfy one of your wishes, including... what you want to do with me in your mind now," she said coquettishly to him, standing behind his back.
The man felt so happy, and it was till then that Ashton told him the whole plan. The man agreed on the proposal without hesitation.
He wouldn't mind betraying his family for personal interests, let alone an acquaintance from elementary school.
The Dragon Queen sneered, "I hope he would tell you where the key to the dragon door is."
"Don't worry, I can handle it," the man patted his chest and said.
Seeing the man leaving, Ashton ran to dragon queen like a dog and asked, "Ma'am, are you satisfied with me?"
The Dragon Queen looked at him disdainfully when she heard that. Then she said, "Isn't it a bit too early for you to answer this question?"
Ashton smiled awkwardly, and suddenly the Dragon Queen started to seduce him. He swallowed and held his cup tight. He took a sip of tonic from the cup and tried to change the subject. "I've got things to do, so I have to go now."
But the Dragon Queen instantly dragged him inside the room. A while later, Ashton crawled out because he could barely feel his legs.
When the other man came out, it took him quite a while to find Maximilian's phone number, and he was slightly surprised.
It wasn't hard at all for him to find Maximilian.
The man immediately dialed the number. When Maximilian saw that number, he paused for a second and then picked it up.
"Max! It's me! Mouse! Do you remember?"
