Dragon Master novel Maximilian novel Chapter 158

Meanwhile, Humphrey knocked on the door of Victoria’s home.

After receiving Dallas’s message, Humphrey couldn’t help coming over to laugh at Maximilian.

Since Connor had given Dallas a lesson, the more Dallas thought about it, the angrier he got. Thus, he told Humphrey that he had already sorted Maximilian out, and asked Humphrey to transfer the final payment to him.

When Humphrey transferred the final payment to Dallas happily, he bought something and came straight to Victoria’s home. He did this to humiliate Maximilian later so that he could save his face.

Laura opened the door and saw Humphrey outside, whose cheek was still red and swollen. She could feel that she was sharing the same bitter hatred against Maximilian with Humphrey.

"It’s you, Humphrey. Come in and have a seat."

"I bought some cosmetics for you, Aunt Laura. They are good at relieving swelling and pain. I just tried one, and now I’m getting much better."

Hearing this, Laura even wanted to cry. She thought to herself, what a considerate man! Even if he himself had been slapped, he didn’t forget to buy something for her. He was more thoughtful than that loser, Maximilian.

"You should have a good rest as well. You are a boss, and have to recover soon so that you won’t embarrass yourself in front of your subordinates."

"But you are more important, Aunt Laura. I can work from home. It doesn’t matter."

Humphrey glanced at the clock as he spoke, and thought Maximilian would be back soon. Humphrey didn’t know what Maximilian was like. Perhaps he was beaten so badly that even his biological mother couldn’t recognize him.

Thinking of this, Humphrey started to smile.

"Humphrey, it’s so considerate of you. Come on. Have a seat and have some fruit. I will serve the tea."

"Aunt Laura, don’t bother. I’m just drop by, and will leave soon."

Hardly had Humphrey finished his words when he heard the door opening. Suddenly, Humphrey felt delighted and looked at the doorway.

Victoria and Maximilian went in one after the other. Seeing Maximilian’s intact face, suddenly Humphrey flew into a fury at heart.

What was going on? How come Maximilian was perfectly fine? Had Dallas beaten up the wrong person?

A series of question marks burst out in Humphrey’s mind. However, he couldn’t ask Dallas about the details now, so he could only keep his questions inside him.

Maximilian saw Humphrey sitting on the sofa and greeted him warmly, "Here you are, Boss Humphrey? Your face is getting better so soon"

Humphrey’s cheek kept twitching. He gritted his teeth and straightened his face, not showing his anger.

"My wound doesn’t matter. I heard that you are still unemployed at home, Maximilian. You can’t always stay at home like this. Haven’t you done some job hunting? You will be laughed at if you keep on staying at home being a kept man." Humphrey retorted instantly.

Laura heard that they were talking about Maximilian’s job, and her face darkened immediately.

"Maximilian, you are not young anymore. It’s time for you to take the responsibility of supporting your family. Even if you can’t make a fortune, you should at least earn Sissi’s medical and tuition bills, as well as the living expenses."

"Mom…"

"Stop. Maximilian can’t continue working in that beauty salon anymore. He has to go out and find another job!"

Laura vented all her anger on Maximilian. She had decided to ask Maximilian to find another job, so that she wouldn’t see him at home so often.

In addition, when Maximilian went out to do some dirty and physical work, he wouldn’t have enough time to keep Victoria’s company, so opportunities would be created for Humphrey then.

Humphrey said with a smile, "I happen to know a job that suits Maximilian well. If Maximilian is willing to take it up, I can make some arrangements."

"How capable you are, Humphrey. You are much better than the loser, Maximilian. If you could manage it, Humphrey, please make arrangements for him as soon as possible. Once that loser goes out for work, he won’t appear in front of me or bother me anymore."

Laura chimed in with Humphrey, as if she would kick Maximilian out of the house.

"It’s not some high-end job. It’s the security guard in my friend’s company. Since Maximilian doesn’t have a great educational background, it’s a perfect choice for him to be a security guard." Humphrey said with a sardonic look.

Victoria let out a sigh and said nothing. She knew it was useless to say anything at this moment. Besides, Victoria also hoped that Maximilian would have a decent job. After all, it was indeed unreasonable for a man to work in a beauty salon.

Maximilian sat there and remained silent, as if what Humphrey said had nothing to do with him.

At this moment, Maximilian was willing to be wronged in order not to have Victoria feeling awkward for him in front of her mother.

Laura glanced at Maximilian and said loudly, "Maximilian, since Humphrey pulls the strings to get a job for you, you should thank him."

"Well, I will thank him after I get the job. If I didn’t get the job, I would thank him for nothing." Maximilian said quietly.

"Ha ha ha." Humphrey laughed his head off, "You are overthinking it. Since I say that I will get you a job, I definitely will. Don’t worry about it."

"When you asked Marsh for money, you also said that." Maximilian said flatly.

"You! Loser, don’t flatter yourself here. If you don’t believe me, let’s go now. If I do get you a job, you kneel down in front of me and give me three kowtows to show your gratitude!"

Being so angry and not caring about his image, Humphrey cast away his previous modesty as a successful boss.

"What if you fail to get me a job? Will you kneel down in front of me and give me three kowtows in return?" Maximilian said jokingly.

"Sure! Let’s go now!"

Laura glared at Maximilian, rose to her feet and said, "Humphrey, don’t get angry. Maximilian’s job is counting on you now. As long as you get him the job, I will absolutely have Maximilian thank you. He will give you 30 kowtows, let alone three."

Laura took sides with Humphrey completely. As for Maximilian, she just wanted to kick him out of the house as soon as possible, so that Humphrey could be her new son-in-law smoothly.

Humphrey walked outside pompously, "Follow me. I will show you my power later."

Laura pulled Victoria’s arm and said in a low voice, "Don’t just stand here. Follow them. Humphrey is capable and has great connections. He is way better than that loser."

"Mom, I will definitely not divorce Maximilian. Don’t waste your time on it anymore." Victoria said decisively.

"You are too stubborn. Anyway, follow them. You will change your mind in the future."

Laura pulled Victoria outside, and Maximilian followed in the rear silently.

Humphrey had already sat on the driver’s seat of his BMW. He picked up his phone and sent his friend a message, preparing to humiliate Maximilian in a while.

"Well, I must teach that loser, Maximilian a good lesson this time. I will let him know that he can never contradict me or make fun of me!"

After sending his friend a message, Humphrey sent another reprimand message to Dallas, criticizing him for taking the money but not having the work done.

Dallas sent back a voice message immediately, "If you want to die, don’t fucking drag me with you. Do you know who Mr. Lee is! I took that final payment of 200 thousand dollars as compensation!"

Humphrey was stunned upon hearing this message. Who else could Maximilian be?

Dallas was afraid of him?
