Dragon Master

Mr. Lee?
Their minds went blank for a moment, and they tried to figure out the person surnamed Lee.
The first person they thought of was Maximilian.
All of a sudden, they fixed their eyes on him and felt incredible.
How could it possible that Maximilian was related to all the moguls they met today.
“The food is for Maximilian? Are you sure you are not kidding? Why should a man like him be given such a fancy dinner?”
Marcus asked, wondering if Maximilian had done anything stupid.
Maximilian cast a glance at Thomas and Thomas knew it was time for him to leave; otherwise Maximilian might be angry with
him.
“I'm not joking. I have something else to do, so I should leave now. Everyone, please enjoy yourself”
Thomas bowed and took his exit. He took an exhale only when he was far away from the room.

He found it so hard to say anything under Maximilian’s gaze.
“I never expected that it's so hard to give away something.” Thomas murmured and picked up his pace.
The room fell silent. Everyone was staring at Maximilian like there was a flower on his face.
Humphrey felt irritated because what he had done today only made Maximilian seem better than him.
“I'm graduated from a prestigious university abroad and I'm the rising star of the industry. I have sworn to marry Victoria. And I
will never be inferior to this stupid Maximilian! I will never lose to a half-wit! “
“What did you do? half-wit? Why did Manager Thomas treat us like that?” Humphrey asked with a cold face.
Maximilian didn't say anything. He just looked at Humphrey with a hint of smile in his eyes.
Franklin slammed the table and glared at Maximilian, “Is this a trap? I heard that prisoners will be given a nice meal before the
final execution. I assume we will die after the feast!”
Maximilian almost burst into laughter, and cast a sympathetic glance at Franklin.

Iris grabbed the table tightly and said with her face pale, “What's happening, Maximilian? You are a poor man. How could
Manager Thomas offer you such a feast? You must give us an explanation!”
Rage began to spread among them. Although the feast was in front of them, none of them dared to take a bite, because they
didn't know if there would be any consequence.
They asked Maximilian for the answer, but he just remained silent and the smile in his eyes turned clearer and clearer.
Marcus could not withstand it anymore, so he shouted at Maximilian, “Tell me what's going on!”
“Well, didn’t you just say that I should stay silent? I'm just doing what you've told me to do.” Maximilian looked at Marcus with an
innocent face.
Marcus felt his blood pumping because of the anger.
“Bastard, do you understand human language? Just tell me what is between you and Manager Thomas. How could he offer you
something so expensive?”
Victoria touched Maximilian with her legs, suggesting him to answer the question.
Maximilian replied seriously, “I assume this is the feast a student throw to his teacher and since you are here today, I thought I
shouldn't make this another present for your birthday. If you don’t dare to eat, I will make a start”

Then, Maximilian looked around and found that everyone was silent and afraid to move their chopsticks. So he picked up a two-
headed abalone and dropped it on Victoria's plate.
“Honey, try it before it gets cold. The Sugar Abalone of Lasdun is quite famous.”
Victoria moved her lips and didn't say what she intended to say.
She didn’t believe Maximilian’s explanation at all, so did everyone sitting around the table.
Because they believed that no matter how decent Thomas was, it was impossible for Thomas to offer him a meal which might
cost 1 million dollars because he wanted to be Maximilian’s student.
Even if they racked their brains out, they could not think of another reason.
Although Marcus was angry, he could only suppress his rage when seeing Maximilian started eating.
Since Thomas had offered the food, they could not return them. If they refused the food, it would be an insult to Thomas. So not
matter what, they had to enjoy the food.
“Come on, everyone, since it’s from the manager, we should just enjoy it. I believe a mogul like him will not poison us in his
restaurant. Let's just leave the rest to Maximilian since the feast is for him anyway”

Marcus was shifting any responsibility to Maximilian. Even if something would happen, Maximilian would be the first to blame.
Franklin and others felt hungry when seeing Maximilian eating and the food on the table. So they stopped hesitating and started
their meals.
Humphrey was the one who eats the most. It seemed that he turned his agony into appetite. Since he had lost his face today,
why shouldn't he savor the food in front of him and wait for his next opportunity?
Maximilian kept picking food for Victoria now and then, and he seemed to love his wife very much.
That made Humphrey very jealousy.
Laura frowned and said with dissatisfaction, “Maximilian, don't always pick food for Victoria. The dishes you picked are not
what she likes to eat.”
“Mom, I asked him to do it for me.” Victoria said with her head low. Victoria liked what her husband had been doing, but she
could not withstand Maximilian being scolded for it.
Laura cast a glare at Victoria, sighed and stopped speaking.

Since they were all more or less afraid, they didn’t enjoy the food very much.
When they finished, they just looked at each other and none of them dared to leave.
Maximilian wiped his mouth, stood up and rubbed his belly, “I'm so full, and need to talk to the waitress.”
He summoned a waitress at the door and said smiling, “How much is the bill”
“Sir, Manager Thomas said that you don’t need to pay any bill for this room”
“So we can just leave now?”
“Yes, of course ”
Marcus stood up, frowned and said to Maximilian, “You go first, and lead the way”
Maximilian nodded and took the lead. It was only when they went out of Lasdun with no obstruction that everyone felt
relieved.
All of a sudden, a voice that sounded inopportune boomed in their ears!

“Maximilian the loser, you said you will verify if the clothe is a knockoff after dinner!”
