Maximilian searched up Jasmineâs location, then checked the pictures on the street.
Though Khalid really wanted to see what Maximilian was watching, mindful of the huge difference between their powers, he could only speechlessly look up at the sky.
Damn, he was already at this age, but had to listen to a little kid. That was embarrassing.
While he was sighing, Maximilian already set up the map and hit the road with him.
After half of an hour, Maximilian stopped at an old hotel, where the address Jasmine sent to him was at.
Looking at this old hotel, Maximilian shook his head. It surely did not look like somewhere Jasmine would stay in.
However, he did not think too much of it, and just went in there. No matter what kind of secret plans Jasmine had on him, Maximilian was planning to get through it anyway. Thinking too much would not help.
Besides, the reason that Maximilian brought Khalid over was to help clear problems.
With nobody at the front desk, Khalid meticulously checked around the environment.
âBro, it doesnât look right.â
âSay it. How?â Maximilian lightly said.
âIt looks like a set-up trap. We should leave now. otherwise, even with⦠with your skill, they would get themselves in troubles.â
Khalid was about to say that Maximilian would get into troubles, but thinking of the horrible outcome of Benjamin, Khalid could only change the sentence.
Khalid took out the pipe bowl and held onto it, looking slightly nervous.
Maximilian just tapped on his shoulder, then walked into the hotel in a relaxing manner, âCalm down since weâve already come. Donât you banders never go back with empty hands? Same for us. We are going in.â
Khalid greeted his teeth, then started following Maximilian.
Maximilian would be the one taking the most damages anyway even if the sky collapsed. While Maximilian handled the situation later, he just needed to find a chance to flee.
After passing the hallway, they walked into the yard.
Maximilian frowned slightly looking at the old-style houses in the surrounding.
Murderous vibe. He could sense a murderous vibe in here.
To give out a murderous vibe, the person had to either be a powerful one, or it had to be a lot of them grouping together.
Khalid was also nervous. Though he could not sense the vibe, his instinct told him that it was not safe here.
âBro, itâs really not safe here. We gotta go, or it would be too late. How about I leave by myself then.â
Khalid said.
Right after he finished, the power went out, while there came a door-locking sound from the gate direction.
Upon hearing the door-locking sound, Khalid shivered, but as an experienced bander, he knew that they were already in the trap. It would be too hard to try to get out now.
Khalid looked around carefully and groaned, âI said that we shouldnât have come in. you had to be stubborn. Now itâs over for us. Iâm gonna die here today.â
As Khalid chattered like a girl, Maximilian rolled his eyes and went straight to the first floor.
Seeing him leaving, Khalid followed up, âBro. You gotta tell me when leaving. You canât just leave an old man up there by himself.â
âYou are too annoying, so just shut up. Otherwise, I wonât be so patient.â Maximilian said.
Khalid booed him then kept his mouth shut, because he saw Maximilianâs raised hand and the daggers in it. It was not just one dagger, but three.
Three men walked out of the room. They were not tall or big, but their steps were all light. It was obvious that they practiced the flexible type of martial arts.
Maximilian smiled, âWhere is Jasmine? This is not a way to treat the guest.â
âWant to see Jasmine? Maybe in the next life. Today is when you die.â Three of them moved at the same time, holding the same kind of short daggers.
With the short dagger in the middle and the handles at two sides, this was one of rare weapons.
Two of them dashed towards Maximilian, while the third one targeted at Khalid.
Holding the pipe, Khalid made a lot of noises fighting him, âYo, why are you fighting me? I was dragged here. Itâs none of my business. You should go for the dude over there. He is the main character. We should be friends. Iâll get mad if you continued messing with me. That would be very scary.â
While Khalid was dealing with the opponent in a mess, Maximilian already got the other two down.
They were both hit on the back neck and now were laying on the ground.
Maximilian just stood on the side, staring at these two fighting. He had no intentions of going up to help, âKhalid, cheer up. Why are you so lame? That is embarrassing for banders. You should use the bowing skill. This skill is not standard. If you stabbed him on the side, you couldâve got him.â
Maximilian commented on the fighting on and off, pissing Khalid off. It seemed like Maximilian wanted more messes here.
Khalid said, âBro, come help me. Donât just stand there. I canât do this anymore. This bad kid is too good. You should do something.â
However, Maximilian just crossed his arms and acted like an audience, âDinât you say that you had nothing to do with me? Why should I help?â
âI⦠I didnât mean it. I was thinking that you could deal with three anyway. It would save our time as well.â Khalid said stutteringly while dodging the attacks.
The enemy was attacking Khalid crazily, thinking of using him as a hostage to threaten Maximilian.
Maximilian just shook his head smilingly, âStop messing around. Just use your real skills, or it would be too late.â
Khalid got stunned. His acting got detected by Maximilian.
