âItâs almost ready. You donât need to worry about anything, mom.â Maximilian smiled, âAfter dinner, I will go out to buy something for the event with Victoria. You can rest assured.â
Gladly, Laura changed her attitude towards him. Otherwise, he might have to leave because of her.
Laura nodded, âOk.â
Soon, they started chatting.
After dinner, Maximilian let the nanny take care of the cleaning up, and then looked at Victoria, âVictoria, letâs go to the mall.â
Victoria nodded, âOk.â
They soon left in the car.
âHow many days are there before the housewarming banquet?â A dry voice sounded in a dark room.
âThree days after today.â A man said respectfully.
âThree days?â Hackett paused, and then asked, âIs everything ready?â
âYes, sir. He will love it on the event.â That man smiled.
Hackett had been preparing for the event in these days. Dragon Queen said if the plan did notwork this time, he would not need to go back to her anymore.
However, Hackett did not dare to go back to the mountain. Otherwise, his master would kill him.
âGood. Go check those things again, and make sure everything is perfect so that we can mess with Maximilian this time. It would be the best if we can just kill him directly.â Hackett said in a low voice.
His eyes turned cold, âBesides, keep watching on Maximilian. If there are chances before the event, do not hesitate to act in advance, so he even doesnât have the chance to host the banquet.â
That man had goose bumps upon hearing his words, âGot it, sir.â
âOk. Leave me alone.â Hackett closed his eyes after saying that. Then he just leaned on the couch silently, thinking about the next moves.
Meanwhile, in the Bate family, Lane directly summoned a meeting about Maximilian with other members in the family.
âMaximilian called me today about this event.â Lane did not even hesitate about telling the others this news.
They got confused, while Amira asked, âDad, why do you do him this favor? He said it would be risky.
What if we get into trouble?â
Amira knew her dad had never done something so risky.
Lane just looked at Amira with a meaningful look, âThe more you pay, the more you gain, and the more you risk.â
âBesides, I believe Maximilian will not fall so easily.â
âThe chance for our family to prosper is on Maximilian.â
Amira paused, and then quieted down.
The others were just looking at them talking about this. They knew clearly Lane had already made his decision and was just informing them of this.
âLane, itâs up to you. We all support you and believe in your decision. Besides, Maximilian is not an ordinary person.â One man said.
Lane smiled happily, and then started arranging things for the event.
In the mall, Maximilian was looking at Victoria, who was happily trying clothes on, âVictoria, itâs almost the time. Letâs get ready to go.
Victoria nodded âOk. Iâll choose this one.â
It was a dress. Victoria looked like a young girl in it.
Maximilian smiled, and then bought all the dresses Victoria had tried on earlier.
After that, they walked out of the store holding a bunch of bags while talking to each other.
âBang!â
âYo. Donât you have eyes?â A guy said angrily.
Maximilian just bumped into somebody when he walked out, so he said, âSorry, I was not paying attention.â
âIs ânot paying attentionâ an apology? If I kill someone but tell the police the same thing, can I get away from punishment?â
Seeing that man was not letting it go, Maximilian knew he wanted to start a fight, so he immediately got unpleasant.
âWhat do you want?â Maximilian said coldly.
That man chuckled, and then looked at Victoria with a horny look, âItâs not a big deal. I am not a bad guy. How about this, just kneel down, and lend your woman to me for a few days.â
Both Maximilian and Victoria got angry upon hearing that, but before Maximilian said anything, that man said again, âI am Wilson Porter from the J City. If I am happy, the treats I give you will be enough for you to spend for a whole year. Consider about it.â
Maximilian curved his lips. It was just a rich kid from the J City. He thought he could do anything he wanted in this small place, so he got presumptuous.
However, Maximilian never went soft on this kind of people, so he looked at Wilson mockingly, âPorter family from the J City? Never heard of it.â
âYouâd better get out of my way. Otherwise, you will not be able to take the consequence.â
Maximilianâs eyes turned cold and released a deadly vibe. He never got scared of troubles. He just simply did not like them.
If other people missed the chance, he would not mind educating them. People like Wilson not only insulted him but wanted Victoria as a present.
Maximilian would like to kill him right now. If they were not at the mall now, he would do it right away.
âOh? Is that so? I do not expect to see such a brave guy in such a small city.â Wilson smiled cockily, âWho said I have no men here?â
After the last word was dropped, several men in black suits appeared behind Wilson. At the same time, the crowd in the mall dissipated with fear.
