Before Lexi entered the cafe....
Maverick is negotiating with the bar owner. However, the bar owner remained silent, members of the Eagle group and his top officials took care of the sale of his bar"So, how much are you going to sell this bar for?" Maverick asked politely."Ten million dollars! Do you have that much money, brat?!" replied one of the members of the Eagle group immediately in an insulting tone.Maverick frowned, glancing at the bar owner for a moment before saying, "You think I'm stupid? A small bar like that costs ten million dollars, I'll pay five million dollars now!" he said firmly.Actually, Maverick himself didn't want to bid, because the sooner he spent the money the better. However, he is worried that the system will consider this purchase as not worth the price, so he will not get cashback later, so instead of losing money, it is better to bargain according to the price."Hey, brat! Who do you think you'rLexi's facial expression showed no fear at all, even though her body was battered. With the remaining strength, he still tried to fight off his attackers.Seeing this situation, Maverick's feelings were touched and he was ready to scream to stop them. however, Kylie's loud voice standing behind Sardat suddenly echoed, "Stop Bily!" he exclaimed as he walked closer.Bily turned his head and was surprised to see Sardat's figure. he swallowed hard, feeling cold sweat because he had been reminded by East not to rub shoulders with King's group, especially with their leader, Sardat.Immediately, Maverick approached Lexi and supported her. With a worried face, he asked, "Are you okay?" then he glared at Kylie and his subordinates, "Why are you still silent! Quickly take him to the hospital!" he scolded loudly.Even though her body was in poor condition, Lexi still tried to smile as she answered, "I'm fine, Mr. Douglas.""Don't talk anymore," he rebuked firmly. Kylie rushed to pick up Lexi, too
In the car, Sardat glanced at Maverick before asking a question. "Sir, why didn't you tell me you were planning to buy the bar?"Maverick, who had been busy with his cellphone, took a deep breath before answering. He looked a little disturbed. "I didn't expect it to end like that. By the way, how did Lexi lose to that person?"Maverick was curious because he thought the person Sardat sent would have almost comparable abilities to him. even though it's not as great as him, at least it's enough to be below his standards.Sardat smiled faintly and explained, "Sir, Bily is not just anyone. He was once East's right hand man, the leader of the Eagle group who brokered the sale of the bar earlierbut because of his temperamental nature, he was replaced by Hars, the person who was standing next to East."Maverick nodded his head as if he understood Sardat's meaning. "But how do you know about them and why are you always called Troy?" he asked searchingly.<
As soon as he stepped into the house, Maverick immediately walked into the living room and sat on the sofa, throwing his body back."Lucia, bring me a cold drink, as well as Sardat!" he shouted at Lucia in a loud voice.Lucia is still annoyed with Maverick's behavior, she tries to remain professional. "Yes, sir," she replied, trying to smile and walking away into the kitchen.Sardat was still standing next to Maverick, making him look a little uneasy. Seeing Sardat who had not yet sat down, Maverick couldn't wait to reprimand him. "Why are you still standing? Sit down!" Maverick said, pointing to the chair across from where he was sitting.Sardat nodded, then immediately sat down politely in the indicated chair. Maverick sighed before asking his question again, this time without further ado. "So, continue your story in the car."Hearing that, Sardat took a deep breath as if preparing himself a little. "Mr. Douglas," he began to speak, "in Velzia Province there are five groups of ruler
Maverick was happy because he had just received an invitation to dinner from Nadira, when suddenly, he saw Sardat running across the terrace of the house in a hurry.Seeing this, Maverick couldn't hold back his curiosity, "Sardat, what's wrong?" he scolded, shouting a little from inside the house.sardat smiled at him, out of breath. "It's nothing, sir. Just Kylie came to bring the car!" he said from the terrace. Maverick just sighed and tried again to enjoy the euphoria of Nadira's invitation to dinner.Meanwhile, Sardat rushes to meet Kylie. he told Kylie and his nine men to take the car to headquarters. Sardat also wanted to use it as an opportunity to earn the money needed to renovate the base.Since the base is used by the Tiger group, its condition is worrying. rubbish was strewn everywhere, many buildings had damaged walls and paint had faded.Sardat felt this was a good opportunity to renovate their headquarters like before.<
Maverick continued his speech passionately, "It may take time, but believe me, I will make King's group even bigger! And also, I will establish a martial arts school to recruit new members to join us!" he said firmly before ending his speech and leaving the rest to Sardat."Did you hear what Mr. Douglas said? It's time for us to change! Those who don't agree with Mr. Douglas' plan, please get out of here!" Sardat shouted in a voice that echoed in the headquarters yard.Lexi raised her hands enthusiastically, "I agree, Mr. Douglas!"Kylie and Vin also raised their hands, expressing support in unison, "We agree too, Mr. Douglas!"Seeing that their group leader supported Maverick's plan, the people who had been doubtful now made up their minds and cheered in unison, agreeing with Maverick's plan.The boisterous voices of King's group members indicated that Maverick's plan was well received by all of them.Sardat smiled sarcastically, then raised his hand, gesturing for them to be quiet.
Maverick slept on the headquarters sofa until six in the afternoon, while Sardat went out looking for food for him. When he woke up, his eyes immediately widened, seeing the figure of a strange woman sitting in front of him."Oh my gosh, who are you?!" Maverick exclaimed in surprise, immediately waking up from his sleep."Mr. Douglas, I was asked to accompany you," answered the woman, blinking her eyes, looking at Maverick seductively.Maverick felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand up, uncomfortable with the woman's overly aggressive attitude. He looked at her with an awkward face, showing how much he disliked this behavior.Suddenly, Sardat burst in carrying a plastic bag, saying, "Helen! Don't tease Mr. Douglas!" The reprimand made Maverick a little relieved.Sardat put down the food he brought and put it on the table, as well as several canned drinks. "Please sir, just to fill your stomach before going on a date," he said gently
Maverick stood in the doorway, stunned for a moment when he saw Nadira's elegant, alluring face.For a moment, he forgot that the anger burning in his heart was extinguished, towards Gracia who was having dinner with another man.maverick came to his senses when Nadira rebuked in a curious tone, "Are you Mr ThePoor?""Y-yes, that's me," Maverick immediately stuttered, trying to refocus on the situation. He walked over to Nadira and sat opposite her, then stretched out his hand."I'm Maverick Douglas," he said calmly as he introduced himself.Nadira smiled, took Maverick's hand. "Thank you, Mr. Douglas, for accepting my invitation." As she said that, she teased gracefully, pushing her hair between her ears, maintaining a mysterious gaze that made Maverick even more captivated.Maverick swallowed hard, amazed at the sight of Nadira's smooth neck which made indecent thoughts cross his mind. His eyes looked at Nadira with admiration, as if he was seeing a beautiful woman for the first time
The next day, Nadira opened her eyes slowly and tried to sit up in bed. His head still felt throbbing from the effects of last night's alcohol. she rubbed his forehead which was wet with cold sweat, still feeling dizzy.As she expected, a few seconds later full consciousness returned to him, then she immediately looked left and right, looking to find out what was happening.Nadira widened her eyes when she saw the figure of a shirtless man sleeping next to her. "Argh!" she screamed without realizing it.The man turned out to be Maverick, who was immediately awakened by the sound of Nadira's screams. Maverick reflexively jumped out of bed, but bad luck befell him."Bugh!" The sound of his body hitting the hard floor of the room made his face grimace in pain."M-Maverick!" Nadira exclaimed in a trembling voice, both hands immediately covering her mouth, unable to believe what she had just seen.Nadira then looked at her clothes, af
