Female Novel
Chapter 862 The Tough Measure
Harley was shocked. He never expected that Grace would go this far. If Harley knew that he was
indirectly responsible for Grace father’s death, then he would understand why Grace put up a
desperate fight against him.
Maximilian was also astonished at Grace’s behavior, but actually it made sense. Since Harley was
indirectly responsible for her father’s death, of course she would risk her life to get revenge.
However, Harley couldn’t die now. At least, they had to dig some useful information out of him first.
"Well, calm down now. Take it easy. Let’s have a good talk." Harley went into a panic and gave a hollow
laugh. After all, it was not worth it if he was killed by Grace at this moment.
Harley didn’t want to die. It would be such a pity if he died now.
Maximilian was contemptuous of Harley’s cowardly behavior. And he was Dragon Queen’s favorite? He
must be a master bootlicker.
Connor was sightly stunned. Now that Harley’s life was in Grace’s hands, he gained the upper hand
instead.
Maximilian stopped Grace subconsciously, shaking his head at her.
Although Grace didn’t know the reason, she could only stop since Maximilian said no.
Harley let out a sigh of relief and expressed his thanks to Maximilian constantly, "This gentleman, thank
you for saving my life."
If Harley knew the one before his eyes was Maximilian, he would definitely get into a panic.
While Harley was taking a break, he seized the chance and took out a walkie talkie. Maximilian took
advantage of the opportunity and clasped Harley’s neck with one hand.
Harley was totally dumbfounded, having breathing difficulties. No matter how he struggled, it was to no
avail.
Seeing that Harley was in danger through the windows, the people outside rushed in immediately.
Meanwhile, Connor’s men also burst in to protect him. The two sides started to confront each other.
At this moment, the sniper, who was hiding in the dark, broke out in a sweat. It was the first time he had
ever performed such a tough task. He couldn’t just pull the trigger rashly. If anything happened to
Harley, it would be a big mistake he made. Therefore, the sniper could only wait and see.
"Harley, can’t you even recognize my voice?" Sounding a little amused, Maximilian’s voice rang out.
This time, he used his real voice without disguise.
The moment Harley heard this voice, he was startled, his pupils dilating subconsciously. Especially
when Maximilian took off his sunglasses, Harley turned pale at once, almost pale as a ghost.
"You’re Maximilian!" Harley exclaimed. It didn’t occur to him that he would meet Maximilian here.
Thinking of the moments when he had battled against Maximilian in secret before, Harley suddenly had
a mental breakdown. It was all over. There was no way that he could dodge the bullet this time.
Since Harley had made trouble for Maximilian all the time, it was impossible for Maximilian to let him off
easily. Harley had thought that Connor was a sure catch for him today, but it turned out that he himself
was that sure catch!
Maximilian gave a faint smile. "It seems that you know me."
Harley’s lips were twitching slightly. He thought to himself. "Of course I know you! Even if you’re burnt
to ashes, I’ll think of a way to get rid of you." Surely, Harley didn’t dare to spit that out.
After Maximilian had a showdown, Harley turned totally disheartened, believing that his life would come
to an end here today. At last, he forced a smile at Maximilian and said, "Mr. Lee, I know how powerful
you are. Could you please spare my life?"
When Maximilian heard Harley’s words, the way he looked at Harley changed, as if he was looking at
an idiot. Maximilian said, "Spare you life? Do you have any value in use? Getting rid of you will do more
good than harm."
Harley gulped, his voice trembling, "Don’t kill me now. I’m still valuable. If you kill me now, you will
never know something."
Hearing that, Maximilian stared at Harley, trying to figure out from his eyes whether Harley was telling a
lie or not, but at last, Maximilian concluded that Harley was not lying.
"Is there anything important?" Maximilian asked. At such a critical moment, Harley wouldn’t beat
around the bush. Maybe he really could provide some important information.
When Harley heard Maximilian’s words, he realized that he still had a slim chance of survival and gave
a dry cough. "Could you please be more gentle? I can’t breathe."
Maximilian was not afraid that Harley would run away. He loosened his grasp a little bit and said with a
smile, "Fine."
Harley calmed down and said, "Maximilian, no, Mr. Lee, I have something very important to tell you, but
could you ask them to leave first?"
Maximilian looked back at Harley’s men and said to Connor, "I’ll leave them to you. Kill them all."
The reason Maximilian did this was to leave Harley nothing to worry about. Otherwise, Harley wouldn’t
tell everything for fear that those people would eavesdrop on them. Only dead men couldn’t talk.
Connor was secretly shocked. He didn’t expect that Maximilian would be so cruel. If he hadn’t seen
everything with his own eyes, Connor wouldn’t believe this was happening at all.
Connor said nothing and winked at Vinnie. As Connor’s henchman, Vinnie understood what Connor
meant immediately. He started to take actions at once.
Once Vinnie raised a hand, Connor’s men also began to fight instantly. Meanwhile, Harley’s men were
all caught off guard and thus at a disadvantage.
Although Connor’s men also suffered losses, they got rid of all of Harley’s men at least.
Harley’s color changed drastically. After all, these men were his loyal followers. Harley watched them
suffering, and his heart was bleeding. But at this moment, he didn’t dare to say anything.
Harley knew what lay ahead of him once he softened. In order to survive, he could only act as if he saw
nothing. Watching the bloody scene at this moment, Harley was too scared to talk.novelbin
Maximilian said flatly, "Now that you have nothing to worry about, you can talk now."
Harley was frightened by the tough measure Maximilian took to crush his enemies. What a hard nut to
crack! Harley hesitated for a few seconds before finally saying, "I want to tell you something about…
about your parents."
"About my parents?" Maximilian frowned. For as long as he could remember, Maximilian had never
known his parents. He had always believed that he was an orphan.
Now that Harley mentioned something about his parents out of the blue, Maximilian couldn’t believe it
at all, because the information was hardly credible.
"Even I know nothing about my parents. How come you would know?" Maximilian sneered, suspecting
that Harley was lying to him.
