Dragon Master

"Got it?
Maximilian, don't joke with me!"
Victoria froze. She was angry.
It was so urgent, but Maximilian still joked with her.
Didn't he know how important the contract was?
When Maximilian still wanted to explain something, Victoria laid down and turned her back to him.
Helplessly, Maximilian had to silently accompany her.
“Victoria, everything you've suffered, I, Maximilian, will remember.
You're destined to be the envy of all at Griffith family party tomorrow night!
Whatever you want, I, Maximilian, will have it ready for you!”
In the next evening, the Griffith family booked a small hall in a four-star hotel in H City and held a mid-year party.
At the entrance of the hotel, a beautiful figure was waiting for a long time with a faint anxiety and anger.
Victoria had arrived a long time ago and had been anxiously looking at her wrist watch as she waited for Maximilian.
“Where is he? I told him to dress up for the occasion. Does he run away? Every family members should take part in the mid-year
party, but every time Maximilian was the target for the crowd's ridicule. No way, he had to be the clown. But this time, will
Maximilian be different?”
Victoria shook her head in self-deprecation. She actually had a fantasy about Maximilian.
"Victoria," Maximilian was running hurriedly with a grin on his face, and said,
"You must have been waiting for a long time.’
Victoria glanced at Maximilian coldly and said unhappily,
"Why are you here so late. Why do you still look like this when I told you to change your outfit?"

Maximilian touched his nose and answered,
"I don't have too many clothes. Besides, I've been like this for so many years. It will be fine.”
Victoria's beautiful eyebrows twisted, her face displeased, but she didn't say anything any more.
What else was there to expect?
In the past, she was always the one who was ridiculed the most. Victoria was used to it.
Besides, even if Maximilian, the no-good guy wore the royal robes, nothing would change.
Moreover, Franklin would definitely not let her go tonight.
Thus, Victoria spoke coldly,
"Well, you are not allowed to speak without my permission later, and you should say whatever I tell you to say in case they would
laugh at you then, okay?"
Maximilian nodded and grinned with a look of indifference.
Seeing Maximilian's dangling appearance, Victoria could not wait to kick him out.
But he was far from meeting her expectation!
The two of them stepped into the hotel's hall, and the core people in the Griffith family had already arrived.
As soon as they entered, Victoria and Maximilian felt Griffith family's indifference towards them.
Inside the hall, all relatives of the Griffith family were there.
When they saw Victoria came with Maximilian, they were filled with mockery and disdain, and even disgrace.
However, since they were family, the guys greeted each other nonchalantly.
"Victoria, there you are. Sit here.”
"Victoria, you look more pretty than before."
"Hurry up and sit down, your parents had been here for a long time.”

The relatives greeted Victoria now and then. As for Maximilian, he was transparent and was completely ignored.
Although he was disappointed in his heart, he didn't care too much, because he had been used to this kind of occasion. So he
just quietly accompanied Victoria to sit in the corner.
Marcus and his wife, Laura, sat at the main table early and were in conversation with the crowd.
But, they didn’t look good, either.
Seeing that Maximilian had entered, Laura directly grunted evenly and scolded,
"Why do you come here with a dog, bad luck?"
Laura was angry that she and Marcus had come over early, but they were humiliated by others
just because Victoria got married with such a wimp.
Thinking about being laughed at by a group of people at the table just now, Laura was frantic and angry.
Although Maximilian was sitting in the corner, he naturally heard his mother-in-law's rebuke and sighed helplessly, silently sipping
cold water.
Poor people were doomed to be treated coldly, and the water he drank was also cold.
Suddenly, a mocking male voice, arrogant and flirtatious, came through.
"Yoo-hoo, isn't this Maximilian? Why are you sitting here? As a H City celebrity, you should be sitting at the main table."
Franklin stuck his hands in his trouser pockets and swaggered towards Maximilian with arrogant and sarcastic eyes.
At the same time, he also cast a glance at Victoria, who was sitting next to Maximilian, sneering,
"Victoria, today is the company's mid-year wrap-up party, but you brought this disgrace out again. Aren't you afraid that grandpa
will be unhappy then?"
Franklin had nothing to do, so he humiliated Maximilian and incidentally mock Victoria in order to gain the sense of superiority as
the eldest grandson.
No way, Victoria's family was a joke.

Especially Maximilian, who was a punk and a coward!
Maximilian's face sank and he was unpleasant, but he still held back his anger and sat there without saying a word.
Seeing the look on his face, Franklin was very unpleasant and directly slapped Maximilian's cheek, provoking him by saying,
"Woo-hoo! What a wimp, which doesn't dare to hit back!"
Victoria was uncomfortable when she saw Franklin humiliating Maximilian like this.
After all, Maximilian was her husband.
"Franklin, you've had enough!"
Victoria got up, jerked Franklin's hand away directly, and stood in front of Maximilian, like a mother eagle protecting her chicks.
Franklin sneered twice and cursed two more “wimp” before walking away.
Once Victoria sit down, Maximilian whispered,
"Thanks."
He didn't expect that Victoria, who had always looked down on him, would actually help him.
However, she only replied coldly,
"Don't think too much of it. I'm just afraid you'll embarrass me.”
She was now so annoyed in her heart. “What if grandpa asks about the cooperation with Graham Group later? Do I really have
to quit?”
Victoria now regretted that she had listened to Maximilian and agreed to that bet at the beginning.
Maximilian smiled faintly. He was just as well.
Soon, the dinner began.
Samuel Griffith stepped into the hall from the front lobby on crutches and sat at the main table with the support of his elder son
with his first wife.

The crowd also got up and shouted towards Samuel,
"Good evening, Mr. Griffith."
"Good. Since everyone's here, let's begin.”
Samuel said with a smile on his face.
The main table seated Griffith family from his first and third wives, except for Victoria and Maximilian, who were placed at a table
crowded with some employees.
That made Victoria feel humiliated, biting her lip in hatred.
Franklin sat at the main table, right beside Samuel, and proudly cast a smug look at Victoria.
It was him who arranged the seat on purpose.
How could Victoria, a married granddaughter, be the core of Griffith family?
Looking at the laughter and mingling at the main table, and then looking at the ordinary staff around herself, this kind of
difference made Victoria angry.
At the same time, Victoria was even more disgusted with Maximilia. It was all because of him, the trash, that she was in such a
condition!
"Victoria, do you want to sit over there?”
Maximilian suddenly ask,
Victoria asked back with great impatience,
"Yeah, I want to sit there, but is that possible?
That are seats only for the Griffiths. What qualifications do I have to sit there, a granddaughter married with a wimp?
If it weren't for you, would my parents and I have been kicked out of the old house?
Maximilian, it's all your fault!

Why are you so useless!"
Saying that, Victoria's eyes reddened and tears flowed out indefinitely.
She hated it!
She hated Maximilian’s incompetence!
Maximilian was stunned and was painful seeing Victoria's aggrieved look.
He was a wimp?
No!
He, Maximilian, was the young master of Dragon Sect!
He could control the disposal of billions of dollars!
Not to mention only a Griffith family, even the entire H City's gentry combined couldn't match a toe of his!
Ever since he and his mother had been driven out of the Dragon Sect and exiled to H City, he had hidden his identity for four
years, for no other reason than to escape the Dragon Sect's rivalry and that woman's chase.
He was tired of the life at Dragon Sect.
Maximilian loved Victoria, and he would do anything for her!
After a moment of silence, Maximilian solemnly said to Victoria,
"Victoria, I'll let you sit at that table as long as you want, and I can make you the master of the Griffith family if you like.”
Victoria shuddered and looked at Maximilian beside her in surprise, and then said with cold disdain,
"Maximilian, what nonsense are you talking about? Just you?"
"If you trust me, I can get it for you.”
Maximilian said seriously, with a clear look in his eyes.
Victoria looked at Maximilian’s pure eyes and felt a trance.

She had never seen Maximilian say something like that before, and it was a serious look.
Truly, she almost believed it for a split second just now.
However, reality sobered Victoria as she looked at the buzz of the main table and said to Maximilian,
"Well, stop it. Don’t I know your ability? If you are so capable, why you are sitting here today?"
