Chapter 358: Chapter 357 Sigh Of Death

“So you are now helping Leighton, which means you are my enemy.” Maximilian asked in a calm voice.

Aston fell silent for a moment, and then he smiled, “No, I don’t want to be your enemy. You can put Addison down in such a short time, which means you are a powerful man. So I’d like to cooperate with you.”

“Cooperate with me? About what?” Maximilian was curious because he could not think of any reason why Aston said they could work together.

“Well, we need a discussion. Later I will send my followers to pick Addison up. You can come with him, and then we will talk about the cooperation.”

“How can I be sure that this is not a trap?” Maximilian asked, narrowing his eyes.

“Ah ha, perhaps you should put some trust in me. I’m renowned for my honesty.”

Maximilian walked to the window and looked to the building across the street, and then he gestured with his left hand.

The guards in that building understood Maximilian wanted them to watch over Victoria and her family.

Seeing that the guards gestured him back, Maximilian said smilingly, “Alright, send your people over. I can’t wait to see you.”

Aston hung up the phone. Then he closed his eyes and began pondering. “Ask Woody to pick up Addison. Tell him to be prepared, in case Maximilian changes his mind.”

“Young Master, please be assured. Addison’s martial strength is not that good. Though Maximilian defeated him, it doesn’t mean that he’s powerful. Our men surely can protect you.”

“We cannot be too careful. Maximilian has defeated a fierce gang. Now you should go and arrange it.”

Then Woody drove away and other cars headed towards an abandoned factory in the suburb.

The factory was bought by Aston as a stopover for the killers and mercenaries when they took a mission. Now Aston decided to meet Maximilian there.

Soon, Woody arrived. He knocked the door, “I was sent by Aston to pick up Addison.”

Maximilian opened the door and looked at this man.

Woody also looked at Maximilian and didn’t found anything special about him. So he looked down upon on Maximilian instantly.

“You’re Maximilian? You are quite capable, since you have defeated Addison so easily. But he’s getting old, so he’s not as strong as before.” Woody said casually.

Addison felt somewhat sad upon hearing it. He wanted to say that his age made him more experienced and better. But since he was crippled by Maximilian, he felt it awkward if he argued with him. So he had to complain about it inwardly.

Smiling, Maximilian opened the door and let Woody in.

Woody cast a glance at the man lying on the ground and sneered, “You are really lucky. The Young Master is merciful. But you are useless to him now. So I guess you can find yourself another job.”

“I’m grateful for it.” Addison said with a smile. He didn’t dare to offend Woody.

Woody bent over and carried Addison on his shoulder. “The car is down there. Follow me. Aston would like to meet you.” Woody said with irritation.

“You go first. I need to say something to my family.” Maximilian replied.

“Damn. Hurry up. Don’t keep my young master waiting.

Woody then left while complaining.

Maximilian opened the door to the his parents-in-law’s room. Victoria was sitting beside the bed, watching her parents. She looked back when she heard him.

“I need to go out to find out who started this. You should just stay at home.”

“Take care of yourself. Will there be more bad guys?” Victoria said worriedly.

“No. I called my friend. They will watch over here. There will be no more danger.”

“Okay. Be careful then. I’ll wait for you.”

Then Victoria walked over to Maximilian and held him tightly at the waist. Then she tiptoed to kiss him on the lips.

Maximilian felt Victoria’s nervousness and love, so he kissed her back.

The two disentangled for a while. Maximilian gently patted on her back. “Don’t worry. There will be no more trouble.”

“Okay” Victoria watched Maximilian leave and prayed for his safety.

Maximilian walked out of the building. Woody, who was standing beside the car, complained, “We have been waiting for you. Why did it take so long?”

“Even Aston dare not talk to me like this. Are you sure you’re gonna keep that attitude?” Maximilian said calmly.

“You dare to threaten me. If it weren’t that Aston wants to see you, I would have shot you with my gun.”

Then Woody revealed the pistol on his waist.

Addison noticed Woody’s arrogance through the car window. He could not help shaking his head, but there was joy in his eyes.

He thought it would be better if someone could be as miserable as him.

“A gun, ah? It’s just a toy for kids.” He sounded like he didn’t even care about it.

Woody was so angry that he raised his pistol and pointed toward Maximilian’s forehead.

“This is a toy? Are you blind? This is a real gun. Do you smell death? If I pull the trigger, you will soon go to hell.”

Woody sounded so aggressive. He thought he could almost do anything as long as he was holding a gun.

Maximilian shook his fingers and said coldly. “Death doesn’t smell like that. But I can let you have a taste.”

“Bullshit. How on earth can you let me have a taste of death? Maybe you watch too many movies.”

Woody pushed the gun head against Maximilian’s head, as if he was going to shoot.

A curve appeared on his mouth. All of a sudden, he slashed out with his right hands and grabbed Woody’s neck.

Woody felt like his throat was almost broken as Maximilian’s fingers stuck into his flesh.

Woody felt suffocated. He wanted to open his mouth to breath, but he could not, because his throat was blocked.

He used all his strength to smash the gun towards Maximilian’s head. At this moment, Woody regretted that due to his arrogance, he had not opened the safety lock of the pistol. Now he didn’t have the strength to fight back.

“Still struggling? It seems that you are not close enough to death.”

As he said that, Maximilian snatched the pistol from Woody and in the meantime, he broke this man’s wrist.

The suffocation and pain made him delusional. He wondered if he was going to die.

Due to a lack of air, his face darkened and he gradually became unconscious.
