"Frankie, show some respect to Mr. Lee. Youâre not worth Mr. Leeâs attention." Connor gave Frankie a contemptuous stare.
One could tell easily from Frankieâs frightened face that something went wrong in Geekoo, and it was something serious.
Sneering, Frankie pointed his pistol at Connor. "Kneel down in front of me! If I lose my control over Geekoo, I need H City to make up for it. Your lives are in my hands! If you donât want to die, listen to me!"
Those who were behind Frankie felt intimidated. All of them gripped the knives in their hands, eyeing Maximilian and the others ferociously.
Eduard could feel the change of atmosphere. He shrank to the corner, hands on his head. "Boss, please feel free to kill them. We have nothing to do with that trash, Maximilian. As long as you let us go, we can give you whatever you want."
Frankie glanced scornfully at Eduard. Those without guts were like shit in Frankieâs eyes.
"Keep talking nonsense and I will kill you first."
Eduard shuddered and said no more.
Frankieâs eyes shifted from Connor to Maximilian, and finally to Victoria.
"Connor, you're telling me that this loser is not someone ordinary, right? Then he will be my first target.
No, his wife will be my first target!"
There was an evil light in Frankieâs eyes. He tilted his head, stared at Maximilian and said, "Arenât you going to protect your wife? Iâll just let you see how I make your wife scream today. Get this beauty for me!"
Houghtonâs eyes brightened. He walked up to Victoria, sneering. "Boss Frankie, youâre such a great player. Once you finish off this beauty, donât forget to let us have a taste of her."
"Donât worry about that. Once I get tired of her, Iâll hand her to you guys."
After that, Frankie started to sneer.
Stimulated mentally, Frankie was now ready to risk everything.
Eduard glanced at Houghton, who was approaching Victoria. Turning his head back, Eduard didnât dare to see anymore. He was afraid that his eyes would provoke these reckless figures.
Marcus and Laura were trembling violently. They wanted to stop Houghton, but they were too nervous to make a sound.
Victoria kept her eyes tightly shut and clung to Maximilian. At this point, Maximilian was Victoriaâs life-
saving straw. She felt that in the whole world, only Maximilian was able to save her at this moment.
"Beauty, be a good girl and go with me. Our boss, Frankie, is very gentle to beautiful girls. He will definitely make you comfortable and satisfied." Houghton said with an evil leer.
Maximilian stared at Houghton and said to him coldly, "Scram!"
"What the fuck? How dare you ask me to scram? Do you think the knife in my hand is just an ornament? Today, Iâll let you see how sharp my knife is!"
Houghton waved the knife in his hand and displayed some showy movements with it.
Just as Houghton felt that he had given a great performance, Maximilian kicked him on the hip.
"Ah!" Houghton screeched with pain, flew out and hit hard against Frankie behind him.
Frankie got hit and fell off from the wheelchair. When he was falling, he wanted to grab something out of nervousness, and his crooked finger pulled the trigger.
Bang! A single shot rang out, closely followed by a scream.
Eduard held his thigh, which was hot, and let out a howl of anguish. He cursed him bad luck. Since he had already shrunk to the corner, why was he the one being shot?
Maximilian squinted his eyes and dashed forward with Victoria in his arms. He put one foot on the pistol in Frankieâs hand, while stamped the other one on Frankieâs neck.
It was when Frankie was under Maximilianâs control that his people came to their senses. They began to wave the knives in their hands and pointed them at Maximilian.
"Let him go now! Donât touch our boss!"
"Do you want to die? How dare you do that do our boss? If you kill him, weâll kill you all!"
Frankieâs people were a little scared. Although they were shouting abuse, they wanted to withdraw in their heart.
They had lost their territory in Geekoo, and now their boss was being stamped on by someone.
Anyhow, they were all going to be annihilated.
Looking at Maximilianâs heroic pose at this point, Marcus and Laura kept their eyes wide open. They were both gasping, and wanted to say something but failed.
Victoria heaved a sigh of relief. When her nervousness disappeared, she found herself scooped up by Maximilian at once.
'So this is how he dashed forward just now?'
'My god! How embarrassing would that be?'
A great sense of shyness flooded over Victoria immediately. Blushing, Victoria stirred and whispered into Maximilianâs ear, "Put me down now."
Maximilian smiled, glanced at Victoria and put her down onto the floor gently.
Frankie stared fiercely at Maximilian. He gripped Maximilianâs ankle with his left hand, trying to move it away from his neck. But even if Frankie tried his best, it wouldnât budge.
"Let⦠let go of me. I⦠canât breathe it anymore."
Frankieâs face turned purple, showing symptom of lack of oxygen.
Maximilianâs foot, which was stepping on Frankieâs right hand, started to grind slowly. Maximilian stared at Frankie with a smile and said gently, "So thatâs enough? You were acting like you could take even more."
With the cracking of bones, Frankieâs right hand was broken by Maximilian.
"Ah!" Frankie howled in pain, feeling regretful.
When Frankieâs men saw Maximilian smiling, they got terrified immediately. They thought Maximilian was absolutely the legendary "ruthless man", who did the most brutal thing while saying the gentle words. He was definitely more ruthless than their boss.
Connor walked to Maximilianâs side and said, bowing like his butler, "Mr. Lee, Iâll have my people deal with them."
"Donât bother. Someone will deal with them."
Hardly had Maximilian finished his words than a group of policemen rushed into Faye Garden.
Frankieâs people on the outside fought with the policemen for a while and then all of them were arrested.
Before long, the policemen rushed into the private chamber and controlled Frankie and all his people.
Frightened, Frankie stared at Maximilian in panic and yelled, "Please, please donât kill me, Mr. Lee.
Please let me off. I have a secret⦠I have a big secret to tell you!"
The head of the policemen glanced discreetly at Maximilian. Maximilian winked at him and he understood the situation at once. He knew he needed to say the lines he had been told.
"Take all of them away. How dare you hurt this internationally renowned businessman, Mr. Eduard?
Donât you want to live anymore?" The head of the policemen snapped.
All of a sudden, Eduard, Marcus, Laura and the others were all stunned. They looked at the policemen in confusion.
