CHAPTER 477 WORRY ABOUT ME?
"No, I won’t. A slave should wait upon his master. Do you need anyone? I can act as your doorkeeper,
or keep watch at night for you."
Easton didn’t want to leave at all. He had a rare chance to meet a real master, so he must seize the
opportunity to ride on his coattails, no matter what.
This was the routine Easton had been repeating in the past. He yielded to someone powerful once he
met one, and after that, he would play up to him and learn from him.
After the shameless routine had been carried out for countless times, Easton should have evolved from
a village boy to a master.
At this point, Easton intended to repeat the routine and fawn on Maximilian shamelessly.
Maximilian raised his eyebrows and said with a sneer, "There are countless people who want to be my
doorkeeper, and it’s not up to you."
"I, I can do something else. I can watch your car or walk your dog." Easton said humbly.
"Do you have no pride? This place is picturesque, and perfect for burying bodies. Since you don’t want
to leave, why not stay and rest here in peace forever?" Maximilian said flatly.
"Wow, please don’t. As your slave, I want to work for you, master. Then I’m leaving. If you have any
problem in the future, please call me."
Seeing that Maximilian didn’t buy him, Easton turned around and left, laughing drily. He was debating
whether or not to stay in H City. As long as he tried, he would find an opportunity to attach himself to
Maximilian.
Squinting his eyes, Maximilian watched Easton leaving, turned around and walked towards the forestry
station.
It had been some time since the gunshots had stopped, but Maximilian was back yet. Flora paced
anxiously back and forth.
"Can you live up to your words? Why haven’t your people shown up yet?" Flora called out to Gael in
anger.
Gael bent low his head and was scared by Flora’s rage. He replied in fear, "I’ve already contacted
Connor, but it will take him at least an hour to deploy the forces and send them here from downtown."
Iris was so terrified by the gunshots and dead bodies outside that she was trembling. She was
cowering in the corner, not daring to look outside at all.
"What happened outside? Is Maximilian… already…" Iris asked, shivering.
"Bah! Put a sock in it! Say something nice!" Flora said, waving her fists, "A cat has nine lives. Nothing
will happen to Maximilian!"
"Right, right. Maximilian is so strong, and he will definitely be fine. We just need to wait here patiently."
Canaan echoed.
"Fuck waiting! Gael, you protect them. I’ll go out and look for Maximilian."
Flora was unable to hold herself back anymore. She felt that she had to look for Maximilian herself. If
Maximilian was injured, she could help him if she arrived in time.
"Don’t go! Just wait here!" Gael stretched out his hand to grab Flora but failed. Flora had already run
out.
Iris crossed her arms in front and mumbled, "Humph, let her be the hero. She’d better die outside."
Canaan stamped his feet. He wanted to go out and look for Maximilian with Flora, but was too timid to
take a step.
Flora rushed out and picked up a gun. After that, she checked it like an expert and held it tight in her
hands, walking in the direction where Maximilian had just disappeared.
Looking around warily, Flora walked into the woods slowly. She saw the bodies and became even more
vigilant.
"Maximilian, where are you, Maximilian?" Flora whispered.
Not far away, Leeman, who was crawling with hands due to his broken knee, stopped. Eyes glittering,
he looked in the direction where Flora was coming.
Leeman detested Maximilian. As his knee was broken, his right leg was totally ruined. Now he was
even unable to stand up, let alone walk.
Leeman had thought that he could only escape by crawling. Now he stared at Flora through the grass,
feeling that he might escape by kidnapping her.
This beautiful girl must be Maximilian’s woman. As long as he held Flora hostage, Leeman might not
only escape, but also take revenge!
Taking a deep breath, Leeman propped himself up with his arms, lifted his left leg and half knelt on the
ground.
Leeman, who had difficulty in moving, believed that he had only one chance. After all, Flora had a gun.
If he couldn’t bring her under control at one blow, he might be shot dead by Flora.
Just like a predator on the hunt for its prey, Leeman was waiting silently in the dense grass for the
arrival of Flora.
However, before Flora could approach him, a chill crept along the back of Leeman’s neck.
Leeman’s heart skipped a beat. He turned his head and looked back slowly.
Maximilian was squatting down behind Leeman, staring at him with a smile.
"Why… Why are you behind me?" Leeman was so scared that he slumped down on the ground. He
supported his body with his arms and drew himself backwards in panic, crushing a huge piece of grass.
Flora was frightened by the sudden noise made by Leeman. Tense, she pulled the trigger
unconsciously. The whole clip of bullets was sprayed towards the grass where Leeman was in.
Takh! Takh! Takh!
The assault rifle with an empty clip made a hollow noise, but Flora was still pressing the trigger, looking
terrified.
"Hey, stop pulling the trigger. The clip is already empty." Maximilian walked out from behind the tree.
Watching Leeman, who had taken countless bullets all over his body and stained with blood,
Maximilian shook his head. "You made your own bed. You should have run for your life."
Flora saw Maximilian and the fear on her face vanished in an instant. She dropped the assault rifle in
her hands, strode towards Maximilian and took him into her arms. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
"Maximilian, I was so scared just now."
"Alright, don’t cry anymore. Why are you here alone? Where are they?"
"They are safe. I was afraid that you got injured, so I came out to look for you. Who would have thought
that there would be someone hiding here?" Flora rubbed her pretty face against Maximilian’s coat,
leaving tears all over it.
"Alright. You’ll have puffy eyes if you go on crying. Go back with me now. Don’t let them worry about
you."
Maximilian pushed Flora away. Flora puckered her lips discontentedly, took Maximilian’s arm and
walked towards the forestry station.
"Iris was almost suffocated by Canaan just now. You didn’t see that. It was hilarious." Flora told
Maximilian what had just happened as walking.
When the two got back to the forestry station, both Gael and Canaan rushed out and checked them. It
was when they found Maximilian was safe and sound that they heaved a sigh of relief.
"Mr. Lee, Chief Carr just contacted me. He will arrive with his people soon."
"OK. I’ll take it from here and tell Chief Carr what happened. You might leave with your people now."
"Alright, Mr. Lee. We’re leaving now."
Gael bowed to Maximilian, ran away and gestured to his people to leave with him.
