Female Novel
Chapter 895 How Powerful is It?
When Maximilian went down the mountain, he suddenly noticed a masked man walking towards
Topyuan Group, and of course, he was stopped.
Then Maximilian saw clearly that the masked man raised the spray in his hand all of a sudden and
sprayed something over the two security guards at the entrance.
The two security guards staggered and were unsteady on their feet, seeming to be in a trance. The
masked man said with a smile, "I have something to do here. Don’t stop me."
Unexpectedly, the two security guards just let the masked man in. Maximilian frowned. Normally,
anyone who entered the Topyuan Group building needed to show his ID, but Maximilian clearly saw thenovelbin
masked man didn’t.
Maximilian believed that there was something wrong with this masked man, so he followed him up
quietly.
"Stop. You can’t get in." The two security guards stretched out their hands to stop Maximilian.
Maximilian was stupefied and gave a bitter smile. "Alistair, Billie, don’t you know me?"
Maximilian had used to be stopped at the entrance of Topyuan Group, and these two security guards
were the ones who had usually stopped him. Later, since it had happened too many times, they had
become familiar with each other. Therefore, whenever these two security guards saw Maximilian, they
just let him in.
Maximilian was confused to see the two of them in a trance, but failed to figure out what was wrong for
a time.
The way Alistair and Billie looked at Maximilian was as if they didn’t know him. Besides, their eyes were
not bright, but dull instead.
Not only was Maximilian stopped, but the staff members of Topyuan Group were also stopped at the
entrance.
Alistair and Billie said at the same time, "Work in progress inside, no one is allowed in."
Maximilian’s face darkened. The moment he found that there was something wrong with Alistair and
Billie, he suddenly thought of that masked man. He could be the one behind all this.
Maximilian rushed in. Maybe that masked man was plotting something.
Alistair and Billie wanted to stop Maximilian, but were hit by him. It was now that Alistair and Billie
reverted to normal. Just as they were about to get angry, they showed a smile once they saw it was
Maximilian before them.
"Mr. Lee, why did you hit us?" Alistair and Billie rubbed their hands together and smiled fawningly.
Maximilian said flatly, "Don’t you remember what just happened?"
Suddenly, Alistair looked serious and said, "Oh no! I was tricked. That masked man was so weird. He
took out a spray, and we followed everything he said."
Shocked, Maximilian didn’t expect that there would be such a thing in real life. He thought it would only
appear in movies. Fortunately, the spray wasn’t strong, and one hit could break the spell.
Maximilian said faintly, "That’s it. I hit you because I wanted to wake you up."
Hearing that, Alistair and Billie weren’t confused anymore. Instead, they showed their appreciation to
Maximilian. "Mr. Lee, thank you so much. If it weren’t for you, we would have made some big
mistakes."
Maximilian couldn’t help but blush. No matter how bold he was, he still felt a little embarrassed. At this
moment, he thought of the real business and stopped talking nonsense with these people.
When he got into the building, Maximilian went straight to the reception. The receptionist knew him and
said with a smile, "Hello, may I help you?"
"Did you see where that masked man went?" Maximilian asked in curiosity.
The receptionist pointed at the toilet and said, "He went to the toilet."
Maximilian glanced at the clock. It had already been twenty minutes. Even if the masked man was
taking a dump, it took him too long, but the masked man hadn’t come out yet.
Maximilian got into the toilet and went through the stalls one by one. When he came to the last stall, the
masked man happened to walk out.
The two people just looked at each other for a split second and both of them could feel the ferocity in
each other’s eyes. Silence hung heavily in the toilet, and Maximilian looked inside.
The masked man tried to block Maximilian’s view with his body subconsciously, as if he didn’t want him
to look inside. Maximilian smiled, "Stop hiding it. I know what trick you’re playing."
"I don’t know what you’re talking about." The masked man trembled inside and forced himself to stay
calm. In fact, he knew who Maximilian was, but he didn’t dare to say it. The masked man just hoped
that Maximilian wouldn’t find out his identity.
Maximilian pushed the masked man aside. While pushing, he found that everything was all right inside.
Maximilian was stunned. Could it be that the masked man was just here to take a dump, and that he
hadn’t taken any action yet?
The masked man snickered and walked out as if nothing had happened. Maximilian listened carefully
and suddenly heard the tick of some device.
He lifted the toilet lid and saw what was inside. It was actually a bomb! And there was no timer on this
bomb.
That was to say, as long as someone pressed the button… Maximilian thought of this and his face
turned grim. If the bomb exploded, the consequences would be too ghastly to imagine.
Maximilian grabbed the masked man at once, and he took out the spray immediately. Just when he
was aiming at Maximilian, Maximilian twisted his wrist around, and aimed the spray at the masked man
himself.
When the masked man pressed the spray, he sprayed the drug over himself.
Maximilian was shocked to see the masked man’s dull look. It seemed that the spray had already taken
effect. The first thing Maximilian needed to do was ask him where the bomb’s button was.
As for the backstage manipulator, Maximilian knew the answer without guessing. Two incidents
happened in once day, and it must be Ashton’s idea.
One had to admit that Ashton was quite crafty and full of cunning tricks.
"Who is controlling the bomb’s button? Where is that person?" Maximilian asked calmly.
The masked man answered, "I don’t know. I’m just here to plant it."
"What is the effective range of the bomb’s button?"
Maximilian looked serious. Since the most important lead was lost, he could only narrow it down.
"Within five hundred meters." The masked man answered.
Maximilian asked with a smile, "Did the one who asked you to plant the bomb tell you anything?"
"Yes. As long as I finish planting the bomb, I just press this button, and he will detonate the bomb in
one minute. If I fail to get out in ten minutes, he will also detonate the bomb."
Now that Maximilian knew time was so limited, he realized that it was impossible to defuse the bomb.
However, there might be a slim chance if the top bomb disposal expert came.
Maximilian gave a faint smile. Since the bomb couldn’t be defused, he would move it to somewhere
else.
A smile climbed upon his lips, and Maximilian seemed to come up with some idea. He tied the bomb
onto the masked man. In this case, he would just have the masked man take a taste of his own
medicine.
"By the way, how powerful is it?" Maximilian asked nonchalantly.
The masked man replied, "You can adjust its power. The minimum power is equivalent to a grenade’s
power."
