"Donât be nervous. Iâm not here to make trouble with you. I just want to know what happened before Ghost IIâs death, and who did it." The man in the cloak said.
"OK, Iâll tell you about it right now. How shall I address you?" Stefan asked fawningly.
"Well, call me Hackett."
"Hello, Mr. Hackett. Iâm Stefan. Harley asked Ghost II to support me dealing with Maximilian. Ghost II asked some masters for help, including Lear, Easton and so on. Then, Learâs people were caught by a local gang, and Maximilian went to interrogate them. Ghost II thought it was an opportunityâ¦"
Stefan told the story very carefully, and the story ended at the point when he had been dragged away by his men.
"And then we ran away. As for what happened next, I have no idea. I donât know how Ghost II died either. But it must have something to do with Maximilian. Even if Maximilian didnât do it, it must be someone under his instigation that did it."
Although Stefan didnât see how Ghost II died in person, he could get a rough idea of the situation then with the least imagination.
Hackett squinted his eyes, and a strong ferocity glinted in his eyes. "How dared he kill Ghost I and Ghost II! Does he really think that we Ghost Army have died out?"
Stefan glanced at Hackett in fear. Ghost Army was not that well-known, but Stefan had heard this name before.
If it werenât for the fact that Ghost Army was declining day by day now, Ghost I wouldnât have become Harleyâs bodyguard.
"Do you have detailed information of Maximilian? I need all of it." Hackett said indifferently.
"Yes, yes. I have it on my phone."
Stefan took out his phone, found out Maximilianâs information and passed the phone to Hackett.
Hackett started to read the information very carefully.
"Mr. Hackett, actually, if you want to take revenge on Maximilian, we can work together on it. Besides, Maximilian has also offended Dragon Queen of the Dragon Sect. It was Dragon Queen who asked us to kill Maximilian."
Stefan thought to himself. If he worked with Hackett, he might get the chance to kill Maximilian. As long as he could kill Maximilian, that would be a huge contribution he made for Dragon Queen, and then the reward must be huge too.
Hackett glanced at Stefan and said with a smile, "It could be a good idea, but I donât like being under control. If I think the plan is feasible, Iâll work with you. If not, I wonât agree naturally."
"No problem. Letâs go back to H City now. I have to tell Harley that we have failed this time."
Hackett nodded slightly and got into the car directly.
Stefan gathered his men and went back. Then he called Harley and reported the incident to him.
Having heard that they had failed, Harley became so angry that he threw his phone away.
"A bunch of losers! There were so many of you and you guys couldnât handle Maximilian? I have never seen scums like you!"
Dragon Queen shook the wine glass and said with a casual air, "Maximilianâs power is beyond your imagination, so stop being angry. Letâs wait for the Underground Boxing Match."
"Ghost IIâ master, Hackett, has already arrived. Maybe he could help us." Harley said unwillingly.
"Well, letâs put Hackett aside for now. Contact Flora. Ask her to find the secret key as soon as possible!" Dragon Queen closed her eyes when she finished her words.
Harley clenched his fists. He was upset at the thought that Flora was living in Maximilianâs house. She was the beauty he had groomed to wait upon him! Now that bastard, Maximilian, took advantage of it!
However, Harley didnât dare to show a trace of anger in front of Dragon Queen. He took out another phone silently and dialed Floraâs number.
At this moment, Canaanâs Mercedes had already stopped in front of the company building. Iris followed Maximilian into the building, while Flora followed them in the rear.
Hearing her phone ringing, Flora glanced at Maximilianâs back, stopped and took out the phone.
Floraâs blood turned cold the moment she saw the caller ID on the screen. Harley! This name was a nightmare to Flora.
During these days, Flora had thought that she could finally wake up from that nightmare and break free from Harley, but the ringtone broke her fantasy.
After a moment of hesitation, Flora pressed the answer key.
"Yes? Why do you call me? Youâll get me exposed." Flora whispered.
"Humph! Stop pretending. Itâs your business how to hide your identity. Iâm just here to notify you. If you donât find the secret key, your family will suffer." Harley said gloomily.
"Be sensible, OK? You didnât give me any clue. Now I just start to build a relationship with Maximilian, and I havenât gained his trust yet. How do you want me to get the secret key?"
Flora went crazy.
Finding the secret key was an impossible mission for Flora. At least she had to get closer to Maximilian first, and then it would be possible for her to find it.
"I donât care about that. Iâm just here to tell you that you need to find the secret key as soon as possible. Iâll give you another three days. If I donât get any good news by then, your family will suffer."
"You!" Flora stamped her feet hard. "Iâll try my best, but I canât have it done in three days. Or, you can give me some clues. I need to know what the secret key looks like on earth."
"I have no idea either. Iâll leave that to you. Use every skill Iâve taught you."
After that, Harley hung up.
Flora put the phone away desperately.
When Canaan had done parking the car, he walked over. Seeing Flora standing there with a gloomy face, he asked curiously, "Whatâs wrong with you? You look bothered."
"I am. Uncle Dixon hasnât woken up yet. Of course Iâm not happy." Flora made an excuse randomly and followed Canaan upstairs.
Maximilian had already sat on the chair in Victoriaâs office. Standing beside Victoria, Iris told her what had happened just now, and elaborated the part where Flora had wanted to do something unforgivable to Maximilian.
"Beware of Flora. Itâd be best if you drive her away now. Sheâs just a vixen. She had stuck to Maximilian all the way. She must have treated him as a lover boy."
Flora, who had just entered the room, gave Iris a ferocious stare and said with a sneer, "Why donât you say you want to do it yourself? Donât you think youâve hidden it well?"
"How could I do it myself? Victoria knows very clearly that Maximilian and I donât get along well." Iris explained anxiously.
Maximilian rubbed his forehead and said in exasperation, "Iris, shouldnât you go back to your office now? Iâm annoyed that you act this way."
"And you think Iâm annoying?"
Shocked, Iris pointed her finger at herself, and said with a twinge of annoyance, "In my opinion, you have taken a fancy to this vixen, and are covering up for her!"
