Chief Carr arrived with his people. Watching the scene, Chief Carr shuddered with fear.
The number of the bodies proved the ferocity of the fighting.
"Form up the attack formation. Stay alert!"
Chief Carr shouted. The police took out their guns and searched forward cautiously. They had never experienced anything like this before.
"Chief Carr." Maximilian called out in the room. In order to prevent the police from firing on impulse, Maximilian didnât go out.
"Mr. Lee!" Chief Carr was delighted. As long as Maximilian was safe, it would be alright. If something happened to him, there would be no way out for Chief Carr.
"Are you OK, Mr. Lee?" Chief Carr asked in a loud voice.
"Iâm fine. Donât worry about me. Iâve already wiped them out. Please clear the battlefield and accomplish the remaining part of the work."
Hearing Maximilian, Chief Carr became relieved immediately. He waved at his men and the police put their guns away.
"Investigate the scene and follow the routine." Chief Carr ordered and then strode towards the room Maximilian was in.
Chief Carr walked into the room and glanced at everyone. Seeing that nobody got hurt, Chief Carr finally gave a smile in relief.
"I was so worried. I was wondering if something terrible happened on my way here. Mr. Lee, what happened on earth? Why is the big mess here?"
"Thatâs a long story. Not only Master Stevens was involved, but also Luke Newman. I accidentally killed Luke before." Maximilian explained flatly.
Chief Carr was astonished. He stared blankly at Maximilian, not knowing what to say.
Luke was someone who had armed bodyguards around him all the time. How come he had been killed? Accidentally?
"Thatâs impressive, Mr. Lee. In my opinion, you need to take better security measures. Otherwise, if something like this happens again, Iâm afraidâ¦" Chief Carr didnât say the remaining part of his words, and those words couldnât be something pleasant to listen to.
The expression on Maximilianâs face never changed. "Itâs OK. The Newman Family canât do anything to me."
The Newman Family posed no threats to Maximilian. The only one who would intimidate him was Dragon Queen.
Chief Carr smiled embarrassedly. Since Maximilian wouldnât take his advice, Chief Carr had nothing else to say. It would be annoying if he went on persuading him.
"Then Iâll have my people send you back. Iâll handle everything here, and I wonât get you involved, Mr.
Lee."
"Donât bother. It seems that you havenât brought many people with you. This mess will keep you guys busy for a while, and we can drive ourselves home." Maximilian declined Chief Carrâs kindness and left with Flora and everyone else.
Chief Carr stared at Maximilianâs back, thinking that the difference between people was simply too much.
Maximilian, who came from such a powerful background, should be so low profile, especially when he was so strong himself. How could Chief Carr stay calm when comparing himself to Maximilian? He could never envy Maximilian enough.
Maximilian and the others got into the car. Driving the Mercedes, Canaan headed to the downtown.
They hurried back to the city.
Stefan was dragged away by his men. Racing back to H City, they didnât even dare to go back to the downtown. Instead, they stayed at somewhere in a village in the suburbs.
"Master, itâs safe now. If you think weâre wrong, please punish us, and we wonât have any complaint."
Stefanâs men apologized to him and asked for punishment. After all, what they had done just now could be considered an offence.
At this point, Stefan had also calmed down. He remembered Maximilian, who just looked like god of killing, and still felt terrified.
"Forget it. You were also⦠Letâs not talk about this. Iâd better contact Ghost II. I hope he wonât blame me."
After all, they had run away at the last minute, and it was not something honorable. If Ghost II really blamed Stefan for the failure, he could only accept the blame.
Stefan took out his phone and dialed Ghost IIâs number.
Chief Carr and his people hadnât reached the place where Ghost IIâs body was at.
However, when the phone rang, a figure enveloped in a long black cloak appeared suddenly.
Squinting his eyes, the man in the cloak looked at Ghost IIâs body. Three seconds later, he bent down and took out the phone from Ghost IIâs pocket.
He answered the phone and asked in a hoarse voice, "Are you Ghost IIâs partner?"
"I am. You⦠You are?" Stefan asked in surprise, having an ominous feeling.
"Give me your location, and Iâll come and find you."
"Who are you? Whereâs Ghost II? Howâs he?" Stefan asked in a panic.
"Iâm Ghost IIâs master. Heâs already dead, sieged and killed by a bunch of masters. I want to know what happened."
Stefanâs heart was about to explode. Ghost II and those masters should have been dead. Stefan wished he could run away with his people right now. Revenge didnât matter to him anymore.
"Give me your location and donât play tricks with me. Otherwise, Iâll hunt you down and ruin your family." The man in the cloak threatened.
Stefan, who had undergone countless hardships, was so scared that his legs became weak. His whole body was leaning against the car.
"We are, in a village. I didnât take notice of the name of the village when we came in. Iâll just send you my location to Ghost IIâs phone."
"OK."
After that, the man in the cloak hung up, and disappeared in the woods in a flash.
Hands trembling, Stefan sent his location. Then he said to his men, "Find a place and lie in ambush around here. Ghost IIâs master will arrive soon, but Iâm not sure about the authenticity of his identity."
Stefanâs men nodded and scattered, looking for places to hide.
Sitting in the car, Stefan took out his cigarette and started to smoke one after another. He regretted that he had got himself involved in this mess.
If only he hadnât got himself involved in this mess! If it werenât for his youngest son dead, he wouldnât have been in danger now.
Stefan was racked by remorse. He wished he could turn back the clock. He wished he could have made the right choice.
Before long, the figure of the man in the cloak appeared on the village road. Watching the man approaching him, Stefan started to get nervous.
The man in the cloak had an intense murderous aura around him, which made Stefan terrified. He had never seen such strong ferocity even on those experienced killers.
"Stefan?" The man in the cloak asked coldly. He looked around scornfully. Apparently, Stefanâs men had been discovered by him.
Desperately nervous, Stefan was too flustered to say anything. He could only nod hard to express agreement.
