X SPEED

The airport manager showed up in front of Maximilian with his men soon.

Connor greeted The airport manager. When he revealed his identity, The airport manager, who

originally looked a little arrogant, became respectful immediately.

The airport manager could do anything he wanted in the airport, but outside the airport, he could no

longer exercise his authority, especially when his family lived in H City. If he offended these people in

front of him, his family might suffer.

"Mr. Davies, if you need anything, I’m at your service. You don’t have to come in person." The airport

manager said with a smile.

"Some people owe Mr. Lee money, and I’m here to help collect the debts. Pull up the surveillance video

and let Mr. Lee take a look."

The airport manager followed Connor’s glance and looked at Maximilian.

Maximilian looked rather young, but The airport manager didn’t dare to look down upon him at all. After

all, even Connor was at his service.

"One moment, Mr. Lee. I’ll have someone pull up the video immediately."

The airport manager waved at his men. One of them turned on his laptop and started to work on it at

once.

Before long, the surveillance video was playing on the screen. The airport manager took the laptop

from his subordinate. With a flattering smile, he held the laptop in both hands and walked up to

Maximilian.

"Here, Mr. Lee. This video shows what happened after they arrived at the airport."

Maximilian, Connor and the others looked at the laptop screen together. The video started from the

point when Thompson’s cars went into the airport.

Maximilian raised his eyebrows gently. "Fast forward."

The airport manager was stunned slightly, and then signaled his subordinate to do it with his eyes.

His subordinate struck the keyboard a few times, and the surveillance video was playing faster.

"Is that OK? It’s in 4X speed now, which is an appropriate speed."

"Faster." Maximilian said flatly.

"Do what Mr. Lee says. You’ll play at whatever speed Mr. Lee tells you." The airport manager shouted

at his subordinate.

The subordinate cringed and said sheepishly, "Mr. Lee, how fast do you want?"

"24X speed."

The subordinate widened his eyes instantly. His eyeballs almost fell out from his eye sockets.

"2… 24X speed? That will be too fast to watch!"

The airport manager gave his subordinate a firm kick. "Don’t you understand what Mr Lee said? Do

whatever Mr. Lee tells you to do!"

"OK, OK." The subordinate dared not to say anymore. He played the surveillance video at 24X speed

immediately.

As the video played faster, anything dynamic in the video would move as quickly as flash.

The airport manager glanced at the screen and felt dizzy. He found it hard to continue watching. Flora

and Canaan showed the same look. The two of them couldn’t accept such high speed at all. They

looked away one after the other. If they kept watching, they might throw up on the spot.

Connor managed to hold on, but looked green.

However, Maximilian appeared normal, as if he was not affected by the high speed at all.

Soon, Maximilian stretched out his hand and struck the space key. The video on the screen stopped.

That was when the maintenance vehicle left from the tail of the jet.

Nothing dubious had appeared in the whole surveillance video. The only thing Maximilian felt not right

was this surveillance vehicle.

"Why did a maintenance vehicle appear at this point of time?" Maximilian pointed at the maintenance

vehicle on the screen and asked.

The airport manager frowned and said confusedly, "Well, I have no idea. Normally, no maintenance

should be carried out on this Gulfstream jet before it takes off."

"Do you keep the maintenance record?" Maximilian made a detailed inquiry.

The airport manager looked at his subordinate. "Didn’t you hear Mr. Lee’s question? Go and check the

maintenance record!"

"I’m in charge of the maintenance department. We haven’t arranged for anyone to carry out

maintenance on the Gulfstream jet taking off just now, and I don’t know why that maintenance vehicle

appeared there."

The head of the maintenance department was so nervous right now that he felt weak all over his body.

The airport manager shouted angrily, "What do you guys do here? Why did it happen? Check all the

staff of the maintenance department. Find out who was driving that maintenance vehicle!"

"OK, OK. I’m doing it now."

The head of the maintenance department took out his phone immediately and started to contact his

subordinates, trying to find out who had been driving that maintenance vehicle.

Maximilian went on watching the surveillance video. Seeing that the maintenance vehicle drove into the

maintenance warehouse, he smiled.

"What’s this warehouse for?"

"This is just a maintenance warehouse for the vehicles, consumables and aircraft parts. They are all

stored in that warehouse."

Watching the warehouse gate closed completely after the maintenance vehicle entered in the video,

Maximilian rubbed his jaw gently. "Can we open the warehouse gate right now?"

"Yes, yes. The warehouse gate is controlled remotely. I can ask my men to open it right now." The

airport manager answered hurriedly.

"Open the warehouse gate, and then have your men surround the warehouse. Connor, let’s go there

now."

After that, Maximilian waved his hand at Connor. The two of them walked to the Mercedes together,

preparing to drive to the maintenance warehouse.

Flora followed up at once, but was stopped by Maximilian’s stare.

"Don’t follow us. Just stay here."

"How can it be? I’m going with you to help you. I was a big help to you just now." Flora pouted, staring ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

at Maximilian.

Maximilian felt helpless. While he was hesitating, Flora had already clung onto Maximilian’s arm,

hanging on Maximilian’s body like a koala bear.

"I don’t care. I must go with you. Don’t you ever think of dumping me!"

"Alright, alright, but you have to listen to me. Once we get into that warehouse, you can only stay in the

car." Maximilian compromised reluctantly.

Flora grinned and said cheerfully, "No problem. I’ll definitely be a good girl."

Maximilian shook his head. Just when he was about to get in the car, Canaan rushed up to him.

"Master, I want to go with you too. Since Flora can go with you, I have no reason not to. Besides, I can

help you watch Flora. I’ll make sure she doesn’t run about." Canaan made an excuse for himself.

Flora gave Canaan a ferocious stare. "Do you want to stir up trouble? I’ll fix you later. Do you believe

it?"

"Master’s little wife, it’s just an excuse. Otherwise, my master won’t take me with him." Canaan said in

a low voice.

The title "master’s little wife" made Flora smile radiantly. "Since you’re so sensible, I’ll just do you a

favor."

Maximilian looked at the two, speechless. He shook his head helplessly. "Get in the car now!"

"OK!" Canaan cheered, pulled open the car door and got into the car immediately.
