Khalid stopped playing around and quickly got that guy laying on the floor, âOh⦠Iâm old. I donât have my stamina anymore.â
After he pretentiously said that, Khalid glimpsed over Maximilian and looked up the sky.
He was too embarrassed because he never won once ever since he met Maximilian. Even his proud acting skill could not fool him.
Maximilian walked up to the enemy, âSay it. Where is Jasmine?â
âShe is gone already, but she left a phone on the second floor. You could video chat her. We just stayed here TO test your ability.â That guy said.
Maximilian was a bit surprised at his begging, âTell me about Jasmine, then Iâll let you go.â
âI donât know about her either. We were all hired by her. She asked us to stay here. We just got blinded by the money.â
Khalid came near and said, âHehe.. she seems to be an experienced one too. This plan is not bad.â
Maximilian nodded, feeling the same. he was going to catch Jasmine and ask her about the guy on her back, but now it looked like that plan would not work.
âStay here with them. Iâll go upstairs.â Maximilian ordered, then walked into the hotel.
Khalid put in some grasses and started smoking his pipe.
After he was done, he blew the fog onto the enemyâs face, âTell me about Jasmine.â
âDude, I really have no idea. I told him what I know. I donât need to hide anything.â
âStill lying? You think Iâm easy to fool?â Khalid goggled.
âNo, no. I really donât know. I donât even know her look. She is an experienced one. She is not a nobody.â
Khalid squinted his eyes and took a hit, âYou were yelling about killing us, so what were you planning to do after killing us?â
âWe didnât even really try to kill you. Yelling like that is just a habit. Jasmine just wanted us to catch you, then make you sleep and bring you to her room. Nothing else.â
âHer room?â Khalid said lightly, then started thinking to himself.
This thing was not that easy as it looked. Now he was already involved in it. What should he do later?
Should he follow Maximilian all the way to the abyss?
It was not a good idea to follow Maximilian. He should leave here for two years first for his own good.
After making his mind, Khalid looked around and got ready to flee from the spot he chose from earlier.
However, not even in two steps, Khalidâs ears moved as he quickly dodged backwards.
Weng!
With a slight sound, a knife deeply cut into the ground in front of Khalid.
Looking at the still-vibrating knife, Khalid got scared. If he did not dodge, this knife would be on his body now.
Khalid swallowed saliva, then turned to look at the second floor with a horrible smile, âBro, I gotta go pee. Donât misinterpret it.â
Khalid looked at Maximilian nervously, while Maximilian was checking on Jasmineâs phone now, âKhalid, stay there, or I donât know what I would do. Maybe send you to the hell?â
âYo. Iâll be here. I wonât move by an inch. Just relax.â Khalid completely gave up the idea of running away. He could not flee with this huge difference between their powers!
Khalid sat on the ground and started smoking. Inside all those fogs, he looked like ascending.
Maximilian did not find any information but a video-chatting app in that phone.
After clicking it open and connected to the only contact on the list, Jasmineâs smiling face appeared, âWow. You are not bad. You took them down so fast.â
That sentence told a lot, including that she could see what was going on inside the hotel.
Maximilian frowned and said deeply, âJasmine. This is not a way to treat the guest. You said that you would wait for me till dawn, but you left after I came.â
âHehe, my good brother. You miss me in this evening? Arenât you not worried about your girl getting jealous? She scared me that day when she was jealous.â Jasmin said.
âJasmine, there is no need to wind around. I donât think you asked me to be here just for checking my ability.â Maximilian said in a deep voice.
âMy good brother. You had to get an explanation from me, but I could not give you one, so I had to do this.â Jasmine organized her hair and took a sip from the red wine.
Maximilian frowned. He did not like this feeling of having no control of the situations. He liked to feel assure, âJasmine, just say it. Who are you working for? I can promise you safety as long as you said it.â
âI think you already knew the answer. Why do you have to ask?â Jasmine chuckled covering her mouth.
âI really donât know. How about you give me some hints?â Maximilian said coldly, while thinking about where Jasmine could be hiding now.
Maximilian could be sure that she was still in this city, and she might be planning something bigger and more dangerous.
âHahaha.â Jasmine drank up the red wine. Because she drank it fast, a sip flew down on her lip.
That red wine looked like blood, dripping down from her brightly red lips.
Jasmine said, âMy good little brother, how could you ask me like that? I canât answer you now.
Unlessâ¦â
âUnless what?â Asked Maximilian.
âUnless you help me with one thing. I will tell you.â
Maximilian squinted his eyes, âSay it. Iâll see if I could do it.â
