The last time I checked, Max was just a poor orphan boy who would always do everything and anything we told him to do. But now, the reverse is the case." Jason said, looking at Zaco for some answers." Don't look at me with that face. I don't know where the hell he got his money from. Maybe he now belongs to a secret organization" Zaco busted out."
