CHAPTER 534 MEN ARE NOT RELIABLE
Dragon Queen, dressed in a plain and elegant outfit, got into the bullet-proof Rolls-Royce Phantom.
She leaned on the leather seat with her eyes closed. "How's it going?"
"Barnaby has got the Jade Dragon yesterday. In addition, I've made some arrangement." Harley
answered with her head lowering down.
"What?" Dragon Queen asked with dissatisfaction.
"Please don't be angry. I told the monk in Lingshan temple to invite Maximilian's wife over. You can
meet her if you want later."
"If you don't want to see her, I can let someone take her away. If you don't want to do anything to her,
we can just let her go."
Harley had the intention to capture Victoria, but only if Dragon Queen asked him to do it. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
Dragon Queen curled her lips in disdain, and said calmly, "Do you really think you can hold her as a
hostage? Men couldn't care less about women on their way to pursue power."
"I heard an emperor in Han Dynasty kicked his sons and daughters out of his carriage when he
escaped. There was another famous man saying that women were just clothes, and brothers were like
his arms and legs. Read more history books and you can see through the real humanity."
Harley lowered his head and said, "I am too ignorant and shallow. You are like heaven to me, and
should anything dangerous happen to you, I am willing to sacrifice my life for your safety."
"Hah-hah!" Dragon Queen laughed, but her laugh sounded very disdainful.
Dragon Queen didn't believe any of the words Harley said.
"I'm serious, really. I'm speaking from the bottom of my heart."
"Okay, just keep flattering me. I don't need that. You've got the Jade Dragon, and that might be a good
sign. We're going to show our gratitude for our luck."
She was full of hope. She wished she could conquer Maximilian and take the Dragon Sect under
control from now on.
To conquer Maximilian might be the best result. In that way, she would be able to attend the affairs in
the sect. Once the time was due, she would abolish Maximilian and take over the throne.
To kill him was an unwise move. That was because he had encountered so many incidents. She could
see the silver lining now, which made her more confident.
She closed her eyes and thought for a moment. Then she said calmly. "I can meet Victoria, but I want
to keep it simple. Don't scare her and don't let her know who I am."
"Understood, I'll make some arrangements for you."
"OK... will Maximilian go with her?" Dragon Queen added.
She wouldn't meet her if Maximilian was with her, because this was not a good time.
"He will not go there. There will only be Flora and Victoria," Harley hurriedly explained.
Dragon Queen nodded with satisfaction. "That's nice."
Seeing that Dragon Queen wouldn't want to say more, Harley closed his mouth and gave the driver a
gesture, indicating him to drive more steadily. Dragon Queen didn't like bumps.
Canaan's Mercedes-Benz stopped in front of Maximilian. Maximilian opened the door of the passenger
seat and sat in.
Canaan was about to say something, but he soon swallowed those words back. Maximilian was a little
surprised when he saw that, so he said, "Just tell me what you want, don't hem and haw."
"I don't know how to put it." Canaan scratched his head and seemed embarrassed.
"What's so hard to say? Just say what you want."
"Then please forgive me... it's my uncle. He had been seriously injured by Maddox. Now that he had
been out of the ICU, Maddox's disciples are flying over from around the world to revenge him." Canaan
seemed very helpless when he said that out.
"And your uncle? He told you that, right? Does he want to fight back?" Maximilian said with a smile.
"I guess, but he didn't say that directly. It is just my guess. He said Maddox' disciples were pushing him
aside and blaming him. He couldn't take it."
Canaan glanced at Maximilian. The was no expression on his face, which made Canaan a bit nervous.
"I didn't promise him anything. It's your call." Canaan added.
"It's okay, your uncle wants to see me, right?"
"Yeah, my uncle said just now that he wanted to see you. I told him that you were going out. He said he
could wait for you at your destination."
Maximilian touched his jaw and thought about it. He should meet Hamid at least for once so that he
could know Maddox' arrangements. That might help him to save some troubles.
"I'm going to Lingshan temple. Let him wait at the foot of the hill. We'll have ten minutes."
"Okay, I'll tell him now, thank you." Canaan took out his phone and notified Hamid.
Despite the dispute they had before, they were still bounded by blood. There was no direct conflict of
interest between them. Now that his uncle was begging for a favor, Canaan felt that he would be
damned if he rejected him.
After he told Hamid the place, Canaan put down his phone and asked, "Why are you going to the
temple anyway? Are you there to pray to Buddha?"
"Well, Buddha surely knows who I am, but I don't care." Maximilian said calmly.
Canaan was surprised because that sounded so arrogant. That was Buddha! It would be better to
always hold some respect for it whether you believe it or not.
"You're just..."
"Do you think I am disrespectful to Buddha? I don't think they deserve that much respect. We have
sacrificed so many offerings for them, but what on earth have they given us?"
"Uh, that's a very profound question. I don't think I can understand that. All I need is to have great
driving skills."
Canaan's eyes were lightened up when he mentioned "driving skills". He remembered the recent big
event in the car racing community.
"Master, the global underground car race is about to start recently. All the best car racers are gathering
around. Do you have the interest to join in?"
Maximilian was surprised because it was his first time to hear about the global underground car race.
"Global underground car race? That name sounded odd. The best car racer? I think there was only one
that can be called 'best'."
