The Fox Palace near the river was Connorâs high-level business, one that focused on underwater cuisines.
Fox Palace was a legend in this city. Though many people knew about it, not that many could actually get in. only the ones who stood on the top of the food chain could be the guests in there.
Those ones inside now were shocked at what they were looking at.
Connor was humbly leading the way for a normal young man.
That young man was Maximilian.
One of his man made a mess and got Mitchele killed in the halfway. Connor specifically held an event to apologize for this.
Soon, these guests were all talking about Maximilian and asking about his information. However, nobody could give out any other information bout him, in which surprised them even more.
Int the rooms on the second floor, several rich young men were also talking about Maximilian.
Sitting on the side of these men were several young and pretty female students, while in the corner, there was a girl shrinking herself into a ball, looking all poor and scared.
âHe must be someone important to receive such a treatment from Connor. Should we go meet him?â
âMeet him? It shouldnât be that easy. We probably wouldnât have a chance to meet someone who deserves Connorâs flattering.â
âThere is always a possibility. We gotta try it. It would be beneficial to meet someone like this.â A girl thought for a while, then looked at the girl in the corner, âThe best weapon against men is women. How do you think about Nevaeh? She is the prettiest girl in the school, and she is a virgin who never had a boyfriend.â
Nevaeh shivered, raised up her head, then said cautiously, âTate, how could you do this to me? I, Iâ¦â
âNevaeh, stop your acting. You really thought you are the innocent and pretty girl? I gave you the honor when I introduced you to Gardner and his friends, so stop your acting and crying. Who are you even crying for? You wouldnât even need to work for the rest of your life as long as you served Gardner well.
This is your chance to apologize. As long as you could get close to that man and help Gardner meet him, we wonât get you in troubles anymore. Otherwiseâ¦â Tate smiled evilly.
Nevaeh started shivering even more and crying more. Her beautiful eyes already swollen up.
Gardner frowned unpleasantly again looking at her crying, âDid your family die or something? Just do as Tate said. Go seduce him now. you know the result if you failed to do so. Get out of here now.â
âI, Iâ¦â Nevaeh could not speak clearly anymore.
Tate went up to her and pulled her up with an evil smile, then pushed her outside of the room, âNevaeh, I gave you the chance. You made Gardner upset today, and I might get in trouble too, so fix this! Or wait for your death.â Tate shut the door heavily.
Nevaeh leaned on the wall and cried with mouth covering on it. She felt so helpless and wished there would be a hero coming to save her.
Connorâs voice came from the hallway, âMr. Maximilian, all these decorations were by the hands of Fengshui masters.â
Since the decorations in Fox Palace were very delicate and charming, they chose to walk around instead of taking the elevator. Now, Connor was introducing for Maximilian.
Nevaeh found the man walking with Connor so familiar.
Did she have hallucinations? Maybe she saw the wrong guy with all those tears in eyes.
Nevaeh hurriedly wiped off tears in her eyes.
Maximilian also spotted Nevaeh, âConnor, I saw a friend. Letâs go say hi.â
âOh? Letâs go then. Is it the one crying?â Connor frowned, feeling unsettled.
If this was Maximilianâs friend, what if she caused some messes in here?
Connor shivered. He dared not to continue the thoughts, âMr. Maximilian, it seems like your friend wasâ¦bullied, Iâll go check it right now. Iâll handle it well.â
Nevaeh heard their conversations. She looked up at Maximilian. He looked just like a hero coming down from the heaven in a horse. He was even more handsome than a prince.
All her fascinations about love got satisfied by Maximilian in this moment.
Maximilian walked up to Nevaeh and said lightly, âWhy are you crying here? What happened?â
âWaaaaâ¦â Nevaeh could not hold her crying anymore. She hugged Maximilian tightly and started crying loudly, letting her tears wet Maximilianâs shirt.
Maximilian looked at Connor speechlessly, âGo find a place to sit. She is not stopping crying for a while.â
âThis way please. Letâs go to the top floor. As long as your friend got unfair treatment here. I will handle it well. I will give you a good answer.â As saying that, Connor led them to the elevator.
Maximilian pampered Nevaeh and calmed her down.
Sitting in the most luxurious room, Maximilian handed tissue to Nevaeh, âClean your tears. Tell me about what happened. Iâll take care of it.â
Nevaeh looked at Maximilian like a poor little cat, âBrother Maximilian, my, my classmate brought me here. They said that they will buy me food and introduce me to influential people, so it would be easier for me to find jobs in the future. However, after I came, I realized that those guys just wanted to hire me as their sex toy. I refused, so they bullied me and hit meâ¦â
Nevaeh started crying again as explaining.
Maximilian raised his eyebrows, feeling quite unpleasant about those guysâ behaviors. That was just low without any morals and a bottom line.
