Chapter 606 Assassination


    Maximilian asked curiously at this time.


    “Euan, why do you tell me this suddenly? You don’t expect me to join Tripod Wealth Pawnshop and


    work for you, do you?”


    Euanughed, leaned against the sofa, and said. “Haha, you think too much. It is not a business


    secret. Soon their partnership will be released to the public. I just think we hit it off, so I casually share it


    with you. Well, are you interested in joining our Tripod Wealth Pawnshop? If yes, I can do you a favor


    and arrange it for you.”


    Maximilian waved his hand and shook his head.


    “No, no, no, I don’t have this idea. Don’t bother...”


    After chatting for a while, Gardner called the three for dinner.


    Maximilian couldn’t refuse him, and it was still raining outside, so he stayed to have dinner with Euan,


    drinking and chatting.


    After a few ss of drinks, Euan and Maximilian talked more and more enthusiastically.


    Then Maximilian and Euan were almost drunk.


    Euan returned to his room for a rest, apanied by Gardner. And Amira helped Maximilian into the


    guest room and threw him onto the bed. Maximilian was in a deep sleep, and then Amira went to her


    room for rest.


    Late that night.


    In the guest room, Maximilian snored loudly and slept soundly.


    At this moment, the door opened slowly, and a figure sneaked into the darkened room. He even held a


    short sword with a dazzling gleam in his hand!


    Maximilian was drunk and unconscious,pletely unaware of the approaching danger.


    After a while, the figure had already reached Maximilian’s bedside and raised the short sword in his


    hand.


    At this moment, apanied by a “Stop” sound, the lights in the room suddenly turned on.


    Amira was the one who stood at the door and turned on the light.


    She saw a middle-aged man turning his back to her. The man was holding the short sword high and


    nning to stab Maximilian.


    Although exposed to the bright light, the middle-aged man ignored Amira’s yelling. He raised the sword


    to the highest and was going to pierce Maximilian’s chest in the next second.


    Amira reacted quickly. She picked up the ashtray on the table and threw it hard to the middle-aged


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    man’s wrist, which made his short sword drop to the ground.


    Unfortunately, the fallen ashtray, hit Maximilian’s forehead with a dull thud. Then, Maximilian opened


    his eyes in a daze.


    Amira immediately walked fast and leaped behind the man. She quickly grabbed his wrist with a


    backhand, trying to subdue the man to the ground.


    Unexpectedly, this man was as powerful as a cow. Amira had already sped his wrist, but the man


    pulled Amira from behind to his side and then threw her out. Amira, who was off guard, turned


    somersaults a few times.


    Amira quickly stood up from the ground. At this time, she could see the man’s face. He was Gardner!


    Gardner ignored Amira aside. He once again set his sight on Maximilian and squeezed him hard by the


    neck!


    Maximilian was finally awakened. He panicked and stared at Gardner, who wanted to strangle him to


    death.


    Maximilian was drunk, and didn’t have enough strength to get rid of Gardner.


    At this time, Amira hurried forward and circled to the rear of Gardner. She hugged his waist with one


    hand and strangled his neck with another, trying to pull Gardner away.


    Unexpectedly, Gardner seemed to be mad. His eyes turned red, but he did not let Maximilian go.


    Maximilian couldn’t breathe and was blushed. When he was about to give up resistance, he suddenly


    saw the red jade bracelet Gardner was wearing.


    In the light of the room, the bright red bracelet was exuding cold light.


    Maximilian suddenly realized something and exhausted hisst strength to tear off the bracelet on


    Gardner’s hand.


    After that, the beads were scattered on the ground. Gardner seemed to lose his strength in an instant


    and released his grip on Maximilian’s neck.


    Just then, both Gardner and Amira fell back to the ground with inertia.


    “Ow... That hurt...” Amira covered the back of her head, stood up slowly from the ground, and nced


    at Gardner, who had passed out in a sh.


    “I really didn’t expect... Gardner looked sick, but he was so strong...”


    Maximilian caught his breath at this time and stood upboriously from the bed.


    “Eh-hem... fortunately, I won the bet. Otherwise, I would have died... Eh-hem...”


    After confirming that there was nothing wrong with them, Maximilian and Amira helped Gardner who


    had lost consciousness lie down on the bed.


    Amira told Maximilian what she had just seen.


    Maximilian felt unbelievable at first. But he instantly understood when he thought of the red jade


    bracelet he had torn off.


    “Oh, by the way, thank you for saving me. If it weren’t for you, I would have gone to see God.”


    Maximilian recollected that he should thank Amira first, as she saved him.


    “You are wee. Protecting you is one of my duties.” Amira still looked conscientious.


    “But I wonder why you showed up when Gardner was about to kill me. Did you know it in advance?”


    Amira rescued Maximilian in time when Gardner tried to kill him. She was now Maximilian’s savior.


    Maximilian was very grateful to her, but he doubted it in his heart. He wondered if it was a coincidence


    that she saved him in time.


    Amira seemed not surprised that Maximilian would ask this question and replied primly.


    “Mr. Maximilian, I didn’t know in advance this would happen. You remember it was Gardner who


    received us when we first came here, right?”


    “Since then, I felt that something was wrong, but I couldn’t tell until I saw Gardner always stared at you


    and showed a strange smile from time to time. I’m sure this man absolutely has a problem.”


    “It’s just my work habit. I have a strong ability to predict the dangers. Besides, when you and Euan


    were both drunk, Gardner actively suggested that we could stay here overnight, which made me even


    warier of him. So when I carried you to the room, I ced a miniature monitor at the door.”


    Saying this, Amira took out a small device that had been broken into pieces from her pocket. It seemed


    to be identally crushed when Amira was fighting with Gardner just now.


    “Huh... fortunately, this one is not yet damaged.”


    Amira picked out a storage card from a pile of debris and handed it to Maximilian.
