Dragon Master novel Maximilian novel Chapter 157

The workshop manager and all workers aside were shocked when they saw Cameron struggling desperately and begging for his life.

So, was this the so-called "loser"? Losers nowadays were so brutal?

If this loser went crazy and threw deadly punches, would he carry out a bloodbath in the workshop?

Everyone shivered at this thought, and the way they looked at Maximilian changed.

The reason Maximilian did this to Cameron was to frighten the workers. If his existence failed to act as a deterrent to people in the workshop within a short time, they might make things difficult for them, wrangle with them and delay their time.

For the sake of Victoria, Maximilian decided to play the role of the villain thoroughly. Victoria felt worried, and was afraid that Maximilian would kill Cameron for real on impulse. She stepped forward hurriedly, took hold of Maximilian’s arm and cried out, "Maximilian, calm down and let go of him immediately. He is about to be strangled by you. If he died, we would be in big trouble!"

Maximilian gazed coldly into the depths of Cameron’s soul.

For an instant, Cameron’s blood ran cold. Maximilian was out of his mind, and his eyes were absolutely killer’s eyes!

"I was wrong. I will get out of your way. You guys are the bosses here. Please. Let go of me. Let go of me."

Cameron begged for mercy, his lips shivering. He could no longer get up the courage to confront Maximilian at all.

At this moment, not to mention the promise Andrew had made that he would give Cameron a promotion and a pay raise, even if Andrew promised Cameron to give half of the Griffith’s property to him, Cameron would not continue to work with him anymore.

One had to be alive to spend the money he had earned; otherwise, if he died, it was unknown who would be the beneficiary of the money he had earned.

"Humph! I gave you a chance but you just threw it all away. Now you cherish it after being beaten up?"

Maximilian relaxed his right hand, and Cameron collapsed straight on the ground, panting.

Cameron was breathing the stale air at this moment, but happiness actually welled up in his heart. He felt that it was so happy to be alive!

Victoria saw Maximilian relax his grip, and grabbed Maximilian’s right hand at once, and stared nervously at his cheek.

"Are you alright? Why were you so impulsive?"

"I had a rush of blood to the head. I didn’t scare you, did I?" Maximilian said, smiling.

"You did. Shouldn’t you make up for it?" Victoria gave Maximilian an angry stare.

"I will buy you a big meal tonight, lit with candles!" Maximilian said in a generous manner.

"Pff…" Victoria couldn’t help but laugh. She said with a faint blush, "That’s enough talking. I have business to attend to."

Maximilian took a glance at the workshop manager and others. All of them lowered their heads. No one dared to meet Maximilian’s gaze, as if they were meek sheep.

"So what’s the problem with the production line? Don’t you ever think that it’s easy to fool us? If you tell us the truth, we will forgive you and forget the incident. If you keep on hiding the truth, then don’t blame me for being rude. Cameron Griffith can be considered an example for you."

Maximilian said authoritatively. He only showed a tiny bit of the majesty of Young Lord of the Dragon Sect, and everyone present was in awe of him. He was so overwhelming that Cameron and others didn’t dare to raise their heads.

Cameron made up his mind. He assumed that he would have a hard time if his subordinates ratted on him, so he might as well make a confession now!

"Hey, you, and you, which part of the production line went wrong? Go and fix it. Don’t just stand there like a fool." Cameron yelled.

The two workers said nothing and turned to maintain the equipment.

Cameron stood up, walked up to Maximilian and Victoria, hemmed and hawed, not knowing what to say.

He must pass the buck, but he had to think over how to do it beautifully.

Victoria stared inquiringly at Maximilian, as if he had become the pillar now.

Maximilian patted Cameron on the shoulder with a smile, but Cameron shivered, and almost fell to the ground in fear.

"I’ll tell. I’ll tell you everything. I was under Andrew and Franklin’s instigation. They asked us to suspend the production and stall for time. I know nothing else. I assume it must have something to do with the delivery of the orders."

"I had no choice. They threatened me. If I didn’t work with them, they would fire me. You guys also know my family background. The whole family counts on me, and I…"

Cameron rambled on and on in one breath.

"Enough. Stop pretending. Are you going to say that you have an eighty-year-old mother and an eight-year-old son at home?" Maximilian said jokingly.

"Well I… do have an eighty-year-old mother, no, grandmother." Cameron said, blushing.

Since Maximilian had got the truth out of them, he left the rest to Victoria. He couldn’t steal his wife’s show.

Victoria sighed, "You’d better not get involved in our family’s business in the future. Just do whatever you should do and that would be enough."

"Yes, yes. I will definitely not get involved in the future. I will work hard on the production of materials, and will definitely not drop the ball anymore."

Cameron gave the guarantee in a rush. With someone like Maximilian staring at him aside, Cameron didn’t dare to do anything else against him. He couldn’t afford to provoke him.

The two workers finished maintaining the equipment soon, and started the production line, made some adjustments, and then walked to Cameron.

"The production line has been fixed. We were all instigated by Franklin, but we won’t listen to him anymore."

"Franklin gave each of us 5,000 dollars. He said that after it was done, there would be more. We can hand in the 5,000 dollars."

The front-line workers could see that their day had gone, so they came clean on the double as well.

"You don’t need to hand it in. Just return to work as soon as possible. There should not be the slightest slip of the materials." Victoria said generously.

If she went on criticizing these people harshly, they might be angry and discontent. On the contrary, she might as well be more lenient so that they would be grateful to her.

Seeing this, Cameron and the workers got delighted and showed their loyalty to Victoria immediately.

Victoria waved her hand, signaling everyone to go back to their work.

Cameron and the workshop manager spared no effort to organize the staff to resume work. Soon, the production line went back to normal.

"Come on. Let’s go home."

Victoria was fully relieved, and walked out of the factory with Maximilian.

"Didn’t you mention the candlelight dinner? Why are we going home now?"

Maximilian was still expecting the candlelight dinner, and thought it was warm and romantic.

"Do you have enough money with you? Or the candlelight dinner you mentioned is to eat at a food truck with a lit candle?" Victoria asked grumpily.

Nowadays, the price of a quality candlelight dinner was not low at all. Although it meant nothing to Maximilian, the Maximilian in Victoria’s opinion couldn’t afford it.

Maximilian felt awkward for a moment, touched his nose and said, "When I start to earn money, I will have the money to buy you a big meal soon."

"I don’t expect you to earn big money, but you have won some credit for yourself today. If only it could keep happening from now on." Victoria said quietly.

Maximilian remained silent for an instant, and then he said with a smile, "Victoria, just rest assured. You will definitely be proud of me in the future."
