DOMESTIC TROUBLE AND FOREIGN INVASION

“You can do it. I want you to kill the dragoon queen.” Jasmine gave him a seductive look, then said, “As

long as you did that, I can give you anything, including myself and wealth.”

Maximilian scratched his head and took a deep breath, “Did I hear wrong, or are you crazy? Why would

I kill the dragon queen for you?”

“Hehe, because you are the future dragon emperor. Even if you did not kill her, the dragon queen would

kill you. As long as you killed her for me, I can deal with the dragon lords and all the other ones for

you.”

Maximilian paused. He thought about his identity getting exposed, since it really was not hard to dig out

that information if with enough power.

“How did you know my identity?” Maximilian acted surprised.

“What? Are you mad? I had to search you up to know if you would be a good partner. As so far, it looks

pretty good.” Jasmine winked at him cutely.

Maximilian thought for a bit, “Since you searched me up, then tell me about you too, so I know if you

would be a partner as well.”

“The little good brother had some second thoughts. Since you are interested, I’ll tell you some. My

background came from overseas, bigger than you could imagine, and bigger than the dragoon sect.’

Maximilian shook head, “Be clearer. I can’t get a hint with such a vague information.”

“That’s all I could say. Think about it yourself. You can contact me using this phone. Bye.” Jasmine

hung up after she was done talking.

Maximilian put the phone in the pocket, walked in the yard slowly and looked at the ascending looking

Khalid, “Are you going to be an immortal?”

“How would I? You asked me to stay, so I could only smoke.” Khalid rolled his eyes unpleasantly,

looking all discomfit.

Maximilian shook his head and pointed at the direction where Khalid was going to escape through, “I

was saving you. That was the best exit, but it also had traps. You could try it if you don’t believe me.”

Khalid paused, then knocked the pipe on the ground, “Bro, though you have some good power, talking

about the experience on checking traps, that is my area! You think I am old? I knew there was a trap

there, but that was not even a problem for me. I was just confident.” Khalid said like a stubborn dunkey.

Maximilian acted like a gentleman speechlessly, “Then, start your performance please, so I could learn

from how you dodge it.”

“You thought I was bragging? Since you really want to see, I’ll grant your wish.” Khalid spined the pipe

then rushed towards the direction he chose earlier.

As the steps got bigger and the speed fastened, Khalid jumped over the two-meter-tall wall, followed by

some weird noises and Khalid’s yelling, “Ah! Damn! This is a continuous trap. Who would think of this?” ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Khalid successfully demonstrated what was called “got caught”. Being hang upside down, Khalid just

felt depressed.

How could he be so unlucky? How could he step on the trap? His bragging earlier was just

embarrassing him now.

While he was thinking about how to set himself free, Maxmilian was already on top on the wall.

He said smilingly, “Khalid, what happened? Didn’t you say that this is your area?”

Khalid covered his blushing face. He could not feel any more embarrassed, “I’m old, so didn’t see well.

Bro, help me. It would be dangerous if the blood rushed into my brain.”

Maximilian chuckled, jumped off the wall, then cut off the rope with a knife. Khalid fell with the head

down.

When he was about to hit the floor, he held himself up and rolled forward to beset the force and stood

up steadily.

Maximilian clapped like a audience watching a monkey show, “A straight landing after two former

somersaults. Such a great athlete.”

Khalid looked up the sky speechlessly, feeling like he was in his darkest day in life, “Bro, since this

thing is over. Am I free to go?”

“Of course, just go. You’ve got the legs.” Said Maximilian.

“No, I mean that you won’t stop me, right?” Khalid looked at Maximilian carefully.

Maximilian said, “Why would I do that? I don’t have the responsibility of taking care of you. Just go. I’m

going to sleep too.”

After saying that, Maximilian walked pass him and disappeared in Khalid’s vision.

Khalid scratched his head with the pipe, “Weird. He just let me go like this? Never mind, I’m leaving

now, just in case anything happens later.”

Khalid chose the opposite direction then rushed away.

Back in the car, Maximilian thought about Jasmines’ background for a while with eyes closed. There

were several oversea powers that could match with the dragon sect, such as the Ghost Meeting the

Holy Knights Group, and the research lab that created mutants like Kacper and Frankie. They were all

dragoon sect’s opponents for hundreds of years.

Maximilian filtered out those crazy scientists and thought that it was probably one of the other two.

They probably already saw how the dragon sect was having many internal conflicts recently, so wanted

to make bigger messes during this instable time for their own benefits.

These internal conflicts already caught the attention of outside forces.

Maximilian felt like the time was rushing him. He had to control the dragon sect a soon as possible, so

there would not be troubles coming from both inside and the outside.
