"And who are you?" Max frowned as he turned around to look at the figure who had just spoken."Well then, Max I've heard quite a lot about you, you're just as I've heard." The figure smiled as he walked up to Max.The figure was a tall handsome man with a kind of strange temperament which made Max frown as he didn't want to stay near the man for too long."I'd suggest you not believe anything you heard about me. You don't know a thing about me." Max frowned as he looked at the man."Alright, I won't believe it. But how about we go out for a drink." The man smiled as he looked at Max."I don't even know you and yet you expect me to go out for a drink. Do you think that's feasible?" Max frowned as he looked at the figure.From the way Maximus had suddenly become silent since the arrival of the figure, he could tell that they knew each other. Besides, he was sure the person was not someone ordinary as given the level of Maximus arrogance, no one would dare to interrupt his conversation.
"Old man, are there any clues?" Max sighed as he looked at Albert."Young Master, we've not been able to find anything, but I think we are quite close," Albert replied.Max sighed as he nodded. It had already been a month since the incident involving Dr. Nicholas. The mastermind had contacted him twice but then Dr. Nicholas had refused firmly.Even though the mastermind didn't issue any kind of threats to Dr. Nicholas, he made sure that the latter stayed at the villa for a week before he was allowed to go home.Furthermore, the news on Dr. Nicholas and his family were guarded heavily to prevent any accidents.Also, Albert had made sure to trace the Mastermind, but then it was as though the mastermind disappeared.Max was confused, but he didn't give up and continued to search as he was sure he would be able to find the mastermind sooner or later.The situation in the company had been stabilized for the time being and there was no further problem. At the moment, it was as though Max h
"Huh?"Max froze as he stood up abruptly not believing his ears. Though he knew that Albert would probably not deceive him, he still couldn't help but think that it was a lie and for a moment wanted to say it was."Young Master." Albert's old voice came from the other end of the phone."Yeah, I'm listening." Max sighed as he managed to calm his raging emotions.Since Albert had said so, he believed it to be so and was sure that it was."Can you come over to the company, I don't think it's okay to talk over the phone." Albert paused for about a moment before he continued."Alright, I'll come over right now," Max replied and immediately disconnected the call.The matter was of utmost importance and he had to go to the company even if he was unwilling.Max hurriedly walked out of the Villa, got into one of the cars and drove out at a high speed. He couldn't care less about the traffic regulations at the moment. He wanted to reach Albert as soon as he could.Along the way, Max frowned as
"Well, that we can't say young master." Albert sighed as he shook his head.The involvement of the Nightshade family was not evident, but there were still traces of their involvement. They just couldn't say that they were involved outrightly they had to have to make sure they had evidence.Max on the other hand had a smile on his face as he looked around, though he was shocked, he looked quite calm, and besides he wasn't too worried.The Nightshade family, they were quite low-key, but it seemed like they were involved in a lot of things.Besides, what the hell was this? The name of his father's wife was Rebecca, then the name of the mastermind behind the things happening in the company was Rebecca Nightshade.For a moment, Max didn't believe it was a mistake, rather he believed that it was the same person.Though he didn't know his father's wife's surname, he was sure that it was the same person. But then there was no way he could prove it."What's the old man's wife's surname?" Max f
Max shook his head as he alighted from the car. He had been thinking about it since he left the company. For the moment, he was convinced that his father's wife and Rebecca Nightshade were the same people.The only Families with Access to those drugs in all of North East were his family and the Nightshade family. And yet it had appeared in his family.His father didn't order it, nor did the old butler. Neither was it Maximus who had some of it. The only person left was his father's wife. Well, then that was none of his business at the moment.He could care less about stuff like that. All he wanted was to tell his father who was responsible for his illness. Though he was sure he wasn't going to believe him. He was still going to say it.He could care less if he got angry, or annoyed, he just had to hear the truth, and if he wasn't interested in hearing the truth, it was all left to him. He wasn't going to force him anyway to believe.Pushing all thoughts to the back of his mind, Max sm
Max sighed and pushed the door of his father's room open and walked in slowly. Just like always, his father was sitting on the bed watching TV.This time Dr. Nicholas was not with him, it seemed like he had come and had already gone.Micheal sighed as he turned to look at his son who had just entered. He was the only one in the entire world who would enter his room without knocking. The others would knock and ask for permission.But Max would just barge in without saying anything, well he was already used to it and was not annoyed. Besides, there was no way he was going to be annoyed with him."Old man, how are you doing?" Max smiled as he looked at his father."Huh?"Micheal froze hearing what Max said as he couldn't believe his ears. Normally, he would just come in and maintain his silence. Besides, he would have a very cold expression, but this time, he was smiling.What the hell was happening? Could it be that his son had forgiven him already? No, that didn't look like it.From wh
Max sighed as he got into the car and drove away from the Villa. He was heading to the company at the moment. Now that he had told his father what he wanted to tell him. He felt a lot better.Now it was time to take action to prevent any potential incident from happening. He had to be fast. Though he wasn't sure if the Mastermind was the same, he knew he was going against the Nightshade family.They were the second strongest force in the whole of North East and were not to be underestimated. Even though in normal circumstances, they wouldn't fight his family as they were a lot stronger than them.But then given the situation at hand, he was sure that what was happening was as a result of many years of planning. Since they had been able to lay out such a flawless plan he was only just noticing.There was no guarantee that he would be able to win if they clashed head-on. Besides, who knew if they had other plans apart from the one who was seeing? Thinking about it, Max knew it would be
"Huh?"Max stood up in shock as he looked at Albert not believing his ears. No this had to be a lie. It was a freaking joke.Though he knew Albert was not going to lie, nor was he going to joke with him on matters like this, he still couldn't help but think it was. At that moment, Max lost composure as he started pacing in the office.This was his wife. Who the hell in the whole of North East had the guts to kidnap her? If he found the person who did it, they were going to die a miserable death. He wasn't going to spare them.How dare they have designs on his wife up to the point where they were daring enough to abduct her. This was infuriating and he was very annoyed.In just a moment, Max's emotions had changed from anger to sadness, to shock and other emotions in between. He just couldn't believe his ears. His eyes were bloodshot and it was as though he could kill anyone."Young Master." Albert sighed as he called out to Max slowly.The latter was in a stare he had never seen. Even
