Chapter 173 I am the Incarnation of Justice


    Barney went down on his knees.


    Seeing this scene, Cassius, the secretary, and Connor were all stunned. Everyone except Maximilian


    was stunned.


    Barney was the person reaching the top in H City and he could be said to be the local tyrant in H City!


    Such a bigwig knelt, which was quite unexpected.


    “Barney, you... what’s going on? How can you kneel? You are the top leader in H City. How can you


    kneel?”


    The secretary’s eyes turned red. As the saying goes, when a prince is disgraced, a courtier should die


    of loyalty. Barney had knelt, which was already a shame, so the secretary had to find a way to save


    face for Barney.


    “Why can’t I? You all kneel. Cassius, ask all your men to kneel to Mr. Maximilian!” Barney said through


    gritted teeth.


    The secretary hesitated before kneeling helplessly.


    “Kneel quickly. Barney has already knelt. How can you guys still stand and watch? You all kneel to Mr.


    Maximilian. Two of youe to support me so that I can kneel for him.”


    Cassius’s thought was flexible. Seeing his patron’s behavior, he knew he had to admit his mistake


    immediately; otherwise, what he was waiting for was death.


    Two men came over to support Cassius. Cassius’s limbs were all broken, which was extremely painful.


    Cassius desperately endured the pain through gritted teeth and kept groaning in his mouth. He had


    broken out into a cold sweat all over.


    The subordinates supported Cassius and helped him to kneel. Cassius forced a smile and said very


    humbly, “Mr. Maximilian, I failed to recognize you before. Please forgive me.”


    Barney nced at Cassius. He was so angry that his whole body was trembling. If it weren’t for


    Cassius who had provoked Maximilian, the catastrophe would have been avoided.


    Barney gave a hard p on Cassius’s face with an angry backhand, “You idiot! How dare you provoke


    Mr. Maximilian? You are so bold!”


    “Yes, Barney, what you said is right. It is all my fault. I can’t redeem it even if I die a hundred times. I will


    be at Mr. Maximilian’s disposal.”


    Cassius, who got smacked in the face, lowered his head and did not dare to resist, but he felt quite


    bitter in his heart.


    If Cassius had another chance, he would kill Andrew and Franklin for sure.


    “Mr. Maximilian, I want to confess to you. It was Andrew and his son Franklin who paid 5 million and


    asked me to send people to make trouble for you. I was instigated by others. Now, I’m telling you the


    truth, so I can take credit for it, right?” Cassius said with hope in his eyes.


    “I knew it a long time ago. Do you think you will be fine if you confess the chief plotter behind?”


    Maximilian asked with a smile.


    “No, I just...just report it. I have to let you know who is hurting you. I’m willing to redeem myself and


    serve you in the future.”


    Barney followed, “Mr. Maximilian, I’m also willing to serve you. You need people on your side in H City.


    It’s not reliable to rely on Connor alone. I can do many things that he can’t do.”


    In an instant, Barney had the idea of riding on Maximilian’s coattails. Sometimes a crisis could also be


    an opportunity. Although he offended Maximilian this time, as long as he admitted his mistake and


    worked hard for Maximilian, he would be one of Maximilian’s men in the future.


    If he could work for Maximilian, who was extremely powerful, he would have a bright future as well!


    When Barney thought about this, he became more excited and made a kowtow to Maximilian, “Mr.


    Maximilian, I know I was wrong this time. I hope to regard you as my foster father. I will listen to you in


    the future and I can do anything for you!”


    At this moment, Barney didn’t want any self-respect at all and all he wanted to do was to lower his


    posture, got through this crisis, and rode on Maximilian’s coattails.


    Self-respect was nothing for him at this moment. In history, many dignitaries recognized Mr. Wei, who


    was a eunuch as foster father and grandfather.


    Thinking of this, Barney felt that he was too witty. If he recognized Maximilian as his foster father, it


    would be possible for him to make progress in the future!


    Cassius was stunned. He thought he was shameless enough, but didn’t expect that Barney was not


    afraid of losing face and directly regarded Maximilian as a foster father.


    Barney’s secretary felt puzzled. In the past, Barney was a very domineering man. But seeing the image


    of Barney at this moment, the secretary felt as if he had seen a fake person.


    “Barney, you...need to be more reserved.” The secretary whispered.


    “Don’t bother! When the flowers bloom, you should fold them quickly. Don’t wait until the flowers are


    gone! The same is true for recognizing a foster father. I finally meet Mr. Maximilian, such a wise and


    martial foster father so naturally, I have to try my best!” Barney said shamelessly.


    Maximilian sneered and kicked the head of Barney, which made Barney roll across the floor.


    “Oh! Dad, it’s a good kick. I did something wrong just now, so I need to be severely punished by you. I


    should learn a lesson from it.” Barney shouted, clutching his head, andughed.


    “You are indeed thick-skinned.” Maximilian said resignedly.


    Faced with such a brazen person, he could only send him to reform.


    Connor waspletely stunned. He was experienced and knowledgeable but seeing what Barney had


    done, he felt that he still underestimated the people in the world. People who could be brazen like


    Barney might have done lots of evil deeds.


    Barney got up, climbed to kneel to Maximilian, and said with a smile, “Dad, you can continue to teach


    me a lesson. I will listen to you in the future.”


    Clop Clop! There was a neat sound of footsteps!


    Barney’splexion changed. He looked at Maximilian nervously, “Dad, the patrolmen havee.


    Please make a call and keep me safe. I have confessed my mistake, and I have sincerely repented!”


    “Is it useful to admit mistakes now? If I kill you and then confess to your corpse, am I not a murderer?


    You might remember what you have done over the years. The evidence of your crimes can be said to


    be innumerable! Repent half of your life in prison.”


    A hint of boredom shed through the corner of Maximilian’s eyes.

    “No! No, you can’t treat me like that. I have already knelt to you and recognized you as my foster father.


    Can I be your dog? As long as you keep me safe, I will be your dog in the future!” Barney said in a


    panic.


    “I don’t need a dog like you. I despise you.” Maximilian said lightly.


    A team of patrolmen rushed in, and the patrolman who led the team walked up to Maximilian to salute.


    “Mr. Maximilian, are you okay? We came over as soon as we received the order.”


    “I’m okay. Take away all those who are kneeling.” Maximilian said calmly.


    “Yes.”


    The patrolman who led the team turned to look at Barney, Cassius and others, waving his hand, and


    said, “Take them all away. I havemanded all the evidence of your crimes.”


    The patrolmen arrested them all. Barney scowled at Maximilian, “I curse you not to die!”


    “I represent justice so your curse is invalid.” Maximilian sneered.
