Hearing Harleyâs words, Flora cast a look at Maximilian subconsciously. Maximilian said nothing.
Otherwise, Harley would definitely perceive something.
"No news yet. Give me a few more days."
Flora tried to buy herself some time. She hadnât paid attention to the secret key all the time. Now that Harley asked her about it, she didnât know what excuse she should make to smooth things over.
"Give you a few more days? Then who will give me a few more days?"
Annoyed, Harley berated grumpily.
"Just give me a few more days, and I promise I will give you something."
Flora hesitated for several seconds before saying.
"Alright, Iâll give you another three days. If thereâs still nothing, then donât blame me."
Harley gave a snort and hung up.
Flora looked upset gradually. She also heard that these were the last three days Harley gave her. If she couldnât find the secret key in three days, her familyâs lives would definitely be in danger.
She didnât want to betray Maximilian, but what about her family?
"Where are your family? Move them to somewhere else now."
Maximilian knew that day would come sooner or later. Such being the case, he couldnât just wait for his death doing nothing. He had to keep Floraâs parents safe.
"I have no idea. My parents are taken away by Harley now. As to where theyâre kept, I almost know nothing about it." Flora shook her head and said.
If she had known that, she would definitely think of ways to find them.
Maximilian frowned. Seemingly, he had to start the whole thing from Harley. Harley had always been at Dragon Queenâs side, and his whereabouts were usually extremely mysterious.
It was something of a mission impossible to find Floraâs parents and rescue them.
Just at this moment, Maximilian thought of someone. That person had used to be Harleyâs good friend.
Maybe Maximilian could start on him.
"Donât worry. Your parents will be fine. I promise you." Maximilian assured Flora. So far, Floraâs parents had been safe, because Harley still had to threaten Flora with her parents lives.
Therefore, Harley wouldnât kill her parents for now, but kept them. Besides, Harley agreed to give another three days to Flora.
Maximilian had to find out where Floraâs parents were in these three days.
"I believe you, Maximilian." Touched, Flora raised her head. She firmly believed what Maximilian said. If it were someone else, Flora wouldnât believe him, but since it was Maximilian, she had every confidence in him.
Flora believed that Maximilian would definitely make it.
Maximilian stroked Floraâs head with a smile. When he noticed Victoriaâs murderous stare, Maximilian gave an embarrassed smile and slipped away.
Maximilian took a taxi to a rented house. As far as he knew, Harleyâs good friend was a tech geek. He had been studying weird things all the time.
Maximilian could only start on him and probably would get some useful information. When Maximilian went in, he saw the traps on the floor. These traps were delicately set. If one didnât look carefully, he would definitely fall into them.
Fortunately, Maximilian had prepared himself, so he saved himself from the traps.
"You came. You should have called me in advance. Iâve prepared the thing you wanted me to prepare. I wanted to send it over to you."
At this moment, a lazy voice came from inside the room. Meanwhile, a middle-aged man with unkempt hair walked out of the room, looking untidy.
When he caught sight of Maximilian, his pupils dilated immediately. He thought it was Harley, but it was actually a stranger.
"Who are you? Why do you appear in my room suddenly?" That middle-aged man stared at Maximilian as if he was a ghost. He was panic-stricken.
Maximilianâs lips twitched slightly. It didnât occur to him that this man would be freaked out.
The middle-aged man was in constant contact with Harley, so he told Harley where the traps were.
Since Maximilian saved himself from all traps easily, the middle-aged man thought Harley came.
Who knew that the visiter was not Harley, but a stranger.
Maximilian smiled and said, "Harley sent me here."
Maximilian rolled his eyes and started to act at once.
"Oh well, how come Harley didnât tell me about it beforehand? Let me give it to you now." That middle-
aged man took Maximilianâs acting for truth and went back to his room immediately. Then he walked out again with something in his hand.
Maximilian was astonished at the sight of that thing, which looked like a car bomb. Maximilian cast a weird look at that man. It seemed that he was someone dangerous.
Maximilian looked around the room, finding it extremely dangerous.
What did Harley want this thing for?
"How to use this thing?" Maximilian couldnât help but ask.
"Itâs quite simple. Press this button, and the timer will be turned on. Something will happen in less than ten minutes." That middle-aged man said flatly.
Hearing that, Maximilian had to compliment him on his skill.
That middle-aged man gave a frown and asked, "Didnât Harley say that he wanted to kill someone with this thing? Donât you know that?"
Maximilian saw the middle-aged manâs alert eyes and gave a wry smile immediately. "Of course I do. I was just asking you how to use this thing. I didnât ask you about that."
The middle-aged man was lost in Maximilianâs words. He yawned and said, "Alright. I need to go on with my study. Since youâve got it, you may go back."
"By the way, whatâs this?" Seeing the table full of chemical supplies, Maximilian pointed at one of the bottles and asked.
The middle-aged man didnât get angry but chuckled instead. "It seems that youâre interested in my experiment research. If it were Harley, he would definitely not ask me about them."
The man liked a lot of attention. Now that Maximilian asked him about it, the man was filled with joy and feeling proud.
Maximilian rolled his eyeballs. It seemed that this tech geek was quite lonely. Nobody even appreciated his inventions.
"This is the truth potion. As long as one takes it, he will tell the truth. No matter what he is asked about, he will talk about it, and it will last ten minutes. Ten minutes later, the one who takes the truth potion will forget everything that happened in these ten minutes."
"What a futuristic invention!" Maximilian exclaimed and got overjoyed. One would search high and low, only to find it when he least expected to. Maximilian wanted to cajole Floraâs parentsâ information out of him, but he didnât know where to start.
