âWell, you donât have to tell me if it is a presumptuous request in case of conflict. The reason why I tell you what Maximilian has done to me is to not to get involved in things related to him.â Hopkins directly refused him, which made Maddox embarrassed.
âWe should care for each other because we are fellows in the martial world. How could you reject me so straightforward?â
âI want to help, but I have suffered losses before. If you believe what I said, then quickly apologize to Maximilian. Itâs a wise move to take, instead of putting yourself in danger.â
Hopkins tried his best to stop him and wished he could understand.
However, Maddox became angry after hearing his words. He snorted and stopped up, âWell, then I have to leave. Donât blame me for ruining your reputation if other fellows come.â
âHa-ha, I have no fame to be ruined. You can leave if you want.â Hopkins decided not to change his mind, no matter what Maddox told him.
Seeing this, Maddox could only leave Hopkinsâs place and let his disciples drive him to meet Maximilian.
He was completely furious and didnât worry about anything. All he wanted to do was to threaten Maximilian with his fame.
Even if there was a group behind him and would help him, Maddox was considering exaggerating this thing and let the whole fellows in the martial world judge who was right.
It was Maximilian who had broken his discipleâs leg. He was the fault side!
Hamid turned on the navigation and quickly arrived at the restaurant Canaan told him.
It was a medium-sized Southwest restaurant. After Maddox and his disciples getting in, there was not much space left.
The restaurant owner thought they were gangsters and became vigilant at once.
âHi, guys. What do you want to order?â The owner asked in a low voice.
âNothing. Just give each of us a glass of water. We are going to discuss something here.â Hamid showed a cold expression and answered.
âWellâ¦Weâre still running business.â
âFuck your business! I am going to make a block booking of this place. Is ten thousand dollars enough?â
Hamid took out a pile of money from his handbag and gave it to the owner.
The owner immediately piled a smile, âThatâs enough. I will serve you tea right now.â
Hamid then picked up his phone to call Canaan, âWe have arrived. I will give you three minutes to come here!â
After saying this, Hamid hanged up the phone directly, thinking he won this time.
Canaan rubbed his head in confusion. He came to Maximilian and said, âMaster, my uncle arrived and asked us to go over.â
âWell, letâs go and see them.â
Maximilian smiled at Victoria, âHoney, the person I beat on the day we were buying our house wanted to see me. I will go and have a chat with him.â
âTreat him nicely and stop fighting with him.â Victoria advised him with concerned.
âDonât worry. A gentleman should use his tongue but not his fists.â
Maximilian hinted Canaan and they both went outside the office.
Flora suddenly stood up and followed them, âI also want to go.â
âWhat are you going to do? There are many of them. What if they catch you and capture you as a hostage? Just stay here.â Maximilian refused her coldly.
Flora pouted and said, âThen why does Canaan go with you. He might also be captured.â
âHe will just show up for a short time. His uncle will let him go after he meets him.â
After saying this, Maximilian closed the office door and left with Canaan.
Flora stamped her feet because of anger. However, she didnât dare to rebel Maximilian. She could only walk to Victoria, held her arm and waved it.
âVictoria. How could you be so sure that he will be fine? Can we go together and have a look?â
âWell, just stay here and stop wondering. Maximilian will drive you out if you really bring him trouble.â
Victoria said calmly.
âNo, donât drive me out.â Flora shouted plaintively, âVictoria, youâre the best. You wonât drive me out, will you?â
âAs long as you behave yourself, no one will drive you out. But if you donât, well, then I canât guarantee you can stay.â
âWell, I will behave myself. I wonât go.â Flora sat on the chair and cursed Maximilian in her mind.
Maximilian and Canaan finally arrived at the restaurant.
Maddox and his disciples immediately stood up when seeing Maximilian come. They rolled up their sleeves, and waved their fists, staring at Maximilian.
Canaan was frightened by them and hurriedly hid behind Maximilian, âMaster, take care.â
Hamid stared at his nephew and said, âCanaan! Let your fucking master kneel down to apologize!â
âUncle, itâs your fault. I think itâs better for you to go back. My master can scare me to death if he gets angry!â Canaan trembled and replied.
âHa-ha.â Hamid and the others burst into laughter. They were teased by Canaanâs words.
âAre you here to tell jokes? What does it have to do with us if your master could scare you to death?
We are not a coward like you and wonât be frightened by him.â
âDefinitely. Your master couldnât do anything with us.â
âAhem.â Maddox coughed heavily, turned to look at Maximilian and said slowly, âAre you Mr. Lee?â
âYes, I am.â Maximilian showed a smile after sizing him up carefully.
âYou really have a promising future. You must be a master of Kung Fu by injuring my disciple seriously.â
âItâs not because I am powerful. He is too weak to provoke me. Does he know how fragile he is before fighting with me?â Maximilian replied in a teasing way.
Maddox became furious after hearing what he said. At first, he wanted to say something nice because it was the first time they met, but he never expected that Maximilian was so rude.
Maddoxâs disciples began to scold Maximilian out of anger.
âWho the hell are you? How can you be so disrespectful to our master? Letâs give you a lesson!â
âWeâre not done after you hurt Reid! How dare you irritate our master?â
âMaster. We donât have to say anything with this bastard. Please allow us to fight with him altogether.
We can kill him for sure!â
Maximilian looked at Maddoxâs emotional disciples and shook his head slowly.
