Dragon Master novel Maximilian

Chapter 12 My Deal with You

This ghostly bell ringing at the moment brought a sudden chill to the office!

Ralphy turned serious, but he still looked suspicious and wondered who would call him at such a late

hour? As soon as he answered the phone, Cooper's growling came from the other side of the phone.

He shouted angrily,

"Ralphy, do you know what a stupid thing you've done?!"

"Uncle, what's going on here?"

Ralphy was stunned, he was too afraid to move any longer.

The founder of the Graham Group, his eldest uncle, sounded furious at this moment!

He had never seen it before!

"What is going on? What a stupid question!

Is Mr. Maximilian with you now?"

Cooper asked in a chilling voice.

Ralphy's trembled because the name was out of his surprise.

He raised his eyebrows to look at the “wimpy bastard”. He was standing there, relaxed, hands on his

back.

"Yes.... Yes, he is.” Ralphy replied in a hurry.

Cooper yelled, "You, apologize to Mr. Maximilian immediately, and listen to Mr. Maximilian for all your

cooperation in H City. Cooperate with whoever he tells you to, do you hear me?!"

Ralphy felt panic. He wondered what the hell was going on here?

Why would his elder uncle give the order himself!

"Uncle, what are you doing? Maximilian, is just a wimpy son-in-law from the Griffiths. Why do you care

about him so much?"

Ralphy asked in disbelief, his eyes keeping skimming around Maximilian's body.

Who the hell was this guy?

“How dare you! Don't you dare to say that again! I'm telling you, Ralphy, you must never offend Mr.

Maximilian! If we piss off Mr. Maximilian, the Graham Group will soon go bankrupt!"

Cooper said.

Hearing that, Ralphy's heart twitched, as if he had suffered a thunderbolt. He was so confused!

However, given what his uncle just said, Maximilian was not at all what he had heard about.

At this moment, Ralphy’s body was taken over by fear and chill!

The cold sweat leaked out at the corner of his forehead.

And at this moment, Maximilian spoke in a low voice, "Mr. Graham, have you made up your mind yet?"

Ralphy dared not to waste any more time. He hurriedly said to Maximilian with respects,

"Mr. Maximilian, I’ve thought it over. I'll do everything just as you want. Our partner in the Graham

Group will be Miss Victoria of Yunsheng Pharmaceutical."

Just as he spoke, some security guards rushed in from the door and shouted angrily,

"Sir, this young man was here to create a mess, was he?

Damn!

Who the hell are you? How dare you cause trouble for the Graham Group? You'll get yourself killed!”

Several big and burly security guards. They yelled at Maximilian with riot batons in their hands.

Ralphy's head was covered in cold sweats when he saw this scene!

Why did these idiots have to come up at this time!

Pop!

Ralphy slapped the man who was talking towards Maximilian. Ralphy lost his temper and yelled angrily,

“How dare you! Stop being so rude to Mr. Maximilian! Get out of here, all of you!"

The security chief was dumbfounded. He covered his burning cheek, and had no idea what to do.

They wondered what this was about?

"Mr. Graham, I thought you're the one who told us to..."

Their leader was still trying to explain.

Ralphy immediately gave him an angry glare before groveling and smiling at Maximilian.

"Mr. Maximilian, I'm sorry, these people are so stupid. I'll take care of all your requests, and I'll have the

information passed down tomorrow.” Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Maximilian nodded and said, "Much oblige to you then. I'd appreciate it if you make this public."

"I know, I know..." Ralphy hurriedly nodded his head.

Maximilian left soon after he said that. Ralphy was still bowing to his back.

After Maximilian left, he let out a breath. Then he wiped the cold sweats from his head. The pressure

just now was too much to take for him!

Cooper Graham treats him with so much respect. It would be hard to overestimate him.

"Do you hear me? Then hurry up and arrange for it, remember, do not make it public! Whoever let the

cat out of the bag will be punished! No exception and no mercy!"

Ralphy said to the assistant beside him. Then he warned the guards.

The crowd was silent, nodding their heads without hesitation.

It was already midnight when Maximilian returned home.

He gingerly and skillfully made a bed on the floor and lay down on it. Then he looked sideways at

Victoria's delicate back on the bed.

He would never let her down again. It was a promise he had made to her.

Knowing Maximilian had returned, Victoria turned to Maximilian and asked, "Where have you been?"

Maximilian smiled and said, "I am Just out for a while. Just go to sleep. We'll have to visit Sissy in the

hospital tomorrow."

Victoria looked sullen. She twitched her mouth and said,

"I can't sleep, just talk to me for a while.”

“OK!" Maximilian replied.

However, the room fell silent soon because Victoria didn’t even know what to say.

A few minutes later, Victoria said,

"Forget it, just go to sleep.”

Then she rolled over and turned her back to Maximilian. Her big bright eyes were brimmed with tears.

She was staring at the white crescent moon and starry sky out of the window.

Maximilian looked at Victoria's back and silently thought that he would definitely honor his words. He

would give her the life he promised before!

He wanted to make her and Sissi proud of him.

It wouldn't be long before everyone knew that Maximilian was everything but a coward!

They didn’t speak for the rest of the night.

Early the next morning, Victoria left home for work.

Maximilian stayed home. He stayed in the kitchen for a while and made breakfast for his mother-in-law

and father-in-law.

Laura came back from the hospital last night. She was so tired. As she came out of the bedroom, she

was still complaining,

"It's exhausting, I should have never gone there yesterday. The hospital was a mess."

Maximilian came out of the kitchen with breakfast and laughed.

"I made you breakfast, please eat it hot."

Laura glared at Maximilian and said disdainfully,

"You coward, staying at home day after day. Can't you see how other man are working and striving?

I've never seen a man like you! You good-for-nothing coward!"

Maximilian chuckled. He had been used to this long ago. So he ignored her. Then he turned around

and went into his bedroom to pack his things.

He had to go back to the old house in the morning.

Seeing Maximilian wouldn't even look at her, Laura mumbled and then stopped talking.

"I'm going to the old house. And I'll go to the hospital later."

Maximilian told Laura and then went out.

Laura was still scolding from behind, "Going back to see you dying mother? Please don't go back then,

you coward!"

Maximilian paused in the doorway, but eventually he walked away with a helpless shake of his head.

Maximilian made his way to the old house on his electrical bike.

This was what the Griffiths had rented for Maximilian at the beginning. It was the first place for them to

stay in H City.

Standing from a distance, Maximilian saw his mother who was selling breakfast. Her face was haggard

and her figure was thin, but she still looked very elegant.

She was once a descent lady. It was so unfortunate for her to end up like this.

And it was all because of that woman...

Maximilian decided he would take back everything he had once lost to the Dragon Queen.

Maximilian took a deep breath, rushed over and called out aloud,

"Mom, let me take care of it for you!"

The woman in her forties raised her eyebrows. She looked at Maximilian with a loving face and smiled

gently. Then she asked,

"Why are you back again? Your in-laws will be upset."

Maximilian chuckled. He helped her set up the stove and said,

“It’s fine.”

He supported his mother to step aside. Then they sat down and chatted.

"You need a rest, I'll do it."

The woman smiled, watching her son doing it for her. She felt relieved as well as concerned, because

she was afraid that he would be too tired from this.

If it wasn’t for her, Maximilian wouldn't have had to work so hard and depend on somebody else for a

living.

"By the way, how are Victoria and Sissi?"

Rebecca asked, laughing as she made the dumplings.

Maximilian hesitated and smiled. Then he answered,

"They are fine."

Rebecca's voice was trembling because of sadness. She asked,

"When could Sissy come to see me?"

Maximilian hesitated for a while. He looked a little helpless as he said,

"I know you miss her, just wait for a few more days.”

Rebecca wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and nodded her head.

She knew her son was living a hard life, so she always felt reluctant to ask him to do anything.

At the exact moment, a couple of punks approached. They kicked the stove that had just been set up!

The customers who were eating breakfast in the shop hurriedly run away in all directions.

"Yo, Maximilian, I didn't expect you to be here today.”

The young man at the head of the group, said with a sinister grin on his face. He got both hands in his

trouser pockets, looking quite arrogant.

Maximilian stood in front of his mother. Then he stared at the man with a grim expression, asking,

"Franklin, what do you want!"
