CHAPTER 155: TEACHING YOU A LESSON
Seeing Josiah so miserable, his subordinates took many steps backward in a row. None of them
rushed up to save him,
because they didn't want to get themselves involved.
Victoria was shocked as she watched, especially when she saw their bruised noses and swollen faces.
She was so
surprised that it was Maximilian who had beaten them so hard.
When Maximilian rushed over just now, he was facing so many people alone. Under such
circumstances, Maximilian not
only injured his opponents but also retreat without the slightest wound.
That didn't make any sense to Victoria. She wondered since when Maximilian had become so strong.
Victoria wasn't the only one that was confused; Josiah was even more confused than her.
In the past, he could scare his opponent just by standing there with his subordinates.
But today, he ran into a reckless guy who dared to face a large group alone. Moreover, Maximilian
didn't look like a fierce
guy at all!
"I'll leave! I'll leave now! Thank you for sparing my life!" He muttered as he slowly backed away.
Josiah's legs were so weak
that he couldn't walk like usual.
"It's been seven seconds, if you don't leave now, I'll continue,’ Maximilian said as he rubbed his wrist.
Josiah felt all his hair standing on the end. He didn't say anything anymore and ran away wildly. He had
even forgotten to
talk to his subordinates. Other people hesitate for a while and then followed Josiah away.
In the security room at the entrance of the raw material factory, several security guards were
dumbfounded. When they
were surrounded by Josiah and the others just now, none of them dared to talk back to Josiah.
Seeing Josiah be driven away, those guards walked out of the room with flattering smiles, nodding and
bowing to
Maximilian.
Victoria sighed and felt relieved. She stepped forward and took Maximilian's arm. Then she asked,
"How come that you
were so powerful just now? How did you tackle all of them alone?"
"When I was a kid, I was a huge kung-fu fan. So I learned it from an old man. I was impulsive just now
because I was eager
to protect you. I was surprised at myself that I could tackle down all of them alone. Maybe it was
because they were too weak.”
Maximilian made an excuse, and pointed at the factory to distract Victoria.
When those security guards saw Victoria, they hastily ran over and greeted them, "Glad to see you,
ma'am. The electricity
was cut off and the equipment went wrong. Now the machine repair team is taking care of it."
“Please man the entrance and don't let the same accident happen again. If anyone else blocks the
door again, just call the
police."
Victoria told them indifferently and led Maximilian into the factory.
As she walked, she took out her phone and called the supervisor of the factory. They talked for a while
and then Victoria
put down the phone. She whispered to Maximilian, "The supervisor here is Cameron. He's a distant
relative of us, and was very
close with Franklin's family.”
"Now he is supervising the maintenance work in the factory, but he said he hasn't found out the
problem yet, and he
doesn't know when they can finish repairing."
Victoria's was getting more and more depressed as she said. If they knew where the problem was, it
would be solved very
soon; if not, the consequence would be catastrophic.
“Let's take a look first and have a brainstorming. If that still doesn't work, we'll call others for help,’
Maximilian suggested.
Victoria didn't say anything. She rolled her eyes at Maximilian. Maximilian scratched his head and
smiled. He didn't know
what Victoria had in mind at this moment. He wondered if it was because he had said too much, or his
solution wouldn't work.
The two walked in silence. A man in his thirties walked out of the factory. He was in a suit and followed
by a bunch of
people.
“The leader is Cameron. Try not to talk nonsense in front of him. After all, you don't have a position in
this company,’
Victoria said to Maximilian.
Maximilian nodded. He was willing to do that for the sake of Victoria.
"Hey, it's Victoria! Something's going wrong here, but I am taking care of it. Don't worry. You don't need
to be here on your
own.”
Cameron said with a grim look. It looked like he didn't welcome Victoria.
“I have to... we have a large number of orders to be delivered recently and if we run out of raw
materials, we'll fail to deliver
the orders on time. The loss would be huge then.”
Victoria looked at Cameron with a cold face. She insisted on doing business according to business
principle. They two had
just met moments ago, and it was already quite tense between them.
Maximilian raised his eyebrows and looked at the young man. After what had happened in a row just
now, Maximilian
realized that they had been trapped in a very complicated situation.
Cameron smirked and said loudly, "We had our own duties and responsibilities and let's not interfere Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
with each other. The
malfunction of the equipment is force majeure. I've already sent someone to repair it as soon as I can."
“I want to see it. Should your people fail, I'll call someone else over and have it repaired. We have to
resume production as
soon as possible.”
Victoria didn't want to give in at all.
Cameron's face changed because there was no way that they could resume work that fast. He was
setting Victoria up on
purpose, and he had to stall some time.
"That's our job, and it is our decision to make. It is none of your business. You don't need to worry
about it. You should just
go. We are busy checking the equipment... please excuse us.”
After Cameron finished talking, he gave a hint to the sturdy workers behind him and walked to the
workshop.
Those sturdy workers stood still and looked at Victoria vigilantly in case the woman rushed into the
workshop.
Victoria frowned because she had felt Cameron's abnormal attitude. The man didn't dare to talk back to
her in the past.
Obviously, Cameron was acting like this because somebody behind him was trying to delay the
resumption of work at the raw
material factory.
Victoria knew who that was. She didn't even have to think.
She stepped forward, and those workers immediately reached out their arms to block the way.
“Our supervisor said outsiders are not allowed to go into the workshop. Please don't put us in this
impossible position.”
The leading worker said with a smile.
"Go away! I'm not an outsider'!" Victoria said.
Maximilian stepped to Victoria and looked at the workers with cold eyes, "Open your damn eyes and
look at her! She's your
boss! How dare you block her way?"
“Please don't make it so hard for us. Nobody gets to enter the workshop without our supervisor's
permission.”
The leading worker said. He sounded so perseverant.
Maximilian sneered and nodded, "Maybe I should teach you a lesson.”
