âThey are all my friends who came to help me. They are from martial art schools, so they are very good at fighting.â explained Maximilian.
Though they got confused, Dragon Sect Guards still talked along Maximilian.
âYeah, we are his friends from Martial arts schools. Weâll excuse ourselves if there are no troubles here anymore.â
âYou guys should go check your wound. I have a bottle of medicine here. Take it.â
A leader in the team put a bottle in Maximilianâs hand and winked at him, then left with everyone else.
Victoria took over the medicine, and then smiled, âYour friends looked interesting. Since you are so good at fighting too, probably you practiced Kung Fu before, didnât you?â
âOf course, I could not be so good at fighting if I never practiced Kung Fu. We all used to be friends in one martial-art school.â
Victoria nodded, with many confusions dissipating in her heart.
âLetâs go home and apply the medicine.â Victoria dragged Maximilian out and got a taxi to home.
After they got home, they found Laura and Marcus were no there, so Victoria just pushed Maximilian straight into the room.
âLie down and take the shirts off.â
âIn the day time? Isnât it inappropriate?â
âWhat are you talking about? I am just applying medicine on you, not eating you.â
Victoria crossed her arms and laughed at Maximilianâs funny gesture.
Maximilian finally took off his coat slowly, exposing those horrible wounds.
Victoria felt a bit sad in her heart, turned around and quietly wiped off her tears.
âI told you that there was no need to take it off. Give me the medicine, and Iâll do it by myself.â
âDonât force it. How are you going to touch your back? Just stay put, and let me do it for you.â
Victoria immediately cleaned her face, opened the cap, and started applying the oil on Maximilianâs back.
âIt might hurt a bit. Hold the pain for a while.â said Victoria gently.
âItâs ok. Just do it.â
Maximilian did not even make a sound when he got hit, so there was no way that he would complain now.
While gently touching Maximilianâs back, Victoriaâs look started getting gentle slowly.
Inside the hospital at the same time, Walter was lying on bed hopelessly after the surgery. His arms and legs got boards inside, so he had to lie on bed for a few months.
Moreover, because of extra blood-losing, he might even have more symptoms later. However, it was already lucky for him that he got to stay life.
âHow is his situation, doctor?â Nathaniel asked on the doorway unpleasantly.
He got here as fast as he could at the news that his son got stabbed.
The doctor weighed his words and said, âBecause he was sent in time, the operation was going relatively smooth. Itâs just that because of the extra bleeding and stabbing, he might have further symptoms later. He wonât be able to do activities requiring lots of energies anymore.â
Hearing that, Nathaniel got relieved. It was not a big deal that he could not do lots of activities anymore.
As long as he did not do stupid things again, it would be fine.
âThank you, doctor. We will have to bother you for the further treatments later on.â
Nathaniel naturally put money on the doctorâs hands.
The doctor accepted it after vaguely pushing it back and forth.
âBarnaby, what happened there? None of you were able to protect him?â Nathaniel stared at Barnaby.
Barnaby shivered and described the situation, âIt was not our fault. They were just too good. We did not even get to see their figures before we fainted. Those guys were like masters in movies, capable of hitting with tree leaves!â
Thinking about the scene, Barnaby still felt scared. It was just like a horror movie!
âOh yeah, when Maximilian left, I heard him talking about how those people at the gate were friends with him, and something like they were from a martial art school. I donât know which school it was though.â
Nathaniel frowned, did not really buy his words.
He knew there were many powerful people hidden in the world, but if they were really that outstanding, there would be no way that they would choose to stay in a mere martial art school.
They could easily work as guards for rich people, getting millions of dollars each year. Even teaching students could have got them a lot of money.
âMaybe he said that to confuse us.â
Nathaniel came in the room shaking his head, then walked towards the hopeless Walter, who immediately started crying at the sight of his uncle.
âFinally, you came. That son of bitch Maximilian was acting too much. Look at me now. I look like a dead man now. You need to avenge me!â
âIâm going to kill Maximilian. If I could go back in time, I would kill them with one stab, leaving him no chance, and then I would whip his corpse.â
The enraged Walter forgot his fear long ago, and now was only thinking about avenging himself.
âHe will definitely pay it back. We canât get bullied by loser.â Nathaniel said with determination.
Things already got to this point, involving their familyâs dignity, so if they could not get this thing settled, they would be a joke in this city.
âUncle, you need to avenge me. I want to see him dead. Only his death could make me feel better!â
âThat loser is for sure going to die. Otherwise, I will have no face to go back home. This is not only about you anymore, but about the whole familyâs dignity.â
âYou just need to focus on the treatment now. You donât need to worry about that loser. Iâll have my men dealing with him. Barnaby, take care of him these days.â
Barnaby nodded immediately, âIâll make sure we do this job well.â
Walter howled, âUncle, are you even serious about it? I want him dead. He has to die!â
âYou donât even believe my words? Maximilian is definitely going to die. That loser is way too presumptuous, messing with the wrong people now just because he thought he could fight.â
âHe will have to kneel down to you to apologize. We will crash all his bones, letting him know the result of messing with our family. This is what I am good at. Nobody is crueler than me! You just wait for his miserable look.â
Nathaniel said with a deadly glare, thinking about ways to deal with Maximilian.
He not only went after him, but also going to make him pay it back for hundreds of times worse. This was the only way to recover their familyâs face.
