Chapter 906 Tit for Tat


    Connor''s frowned and seemed not so happy seeing the presence of this man.


    "Well, look who we have here." Connor stared at the man with murky eyes and seemed gloomy of his


    mood.


    Maximilian could tell from that the attitude of Connor that this man was by no means an ordinary


    person.


    "Please tell me something about the man, Cassius." Maximilian asked with arms crossed.


    Cassius then turned to him and answered, "Sure, Mr. Lee. He is a man from W City, where he owns


    supreme social status and profound financial resources."


    The name of W City seemed to remind Maximilian of something. He remembered that W City was a


    city near by H city, and enjoyedparatively better social development rtive to the city he lived in.


    However, this ce was also said to be the symbol of chaos and underworlds, and even a man of


    remarkable power and influence would not dare to get involved ever.


    Maximilian had never thought that a single auction as such could even draw the attention of a big shot


    like this one from W City. While he chose to keep away from the affairs between others and cared


    about nothing except his Hardy Ganoderma.


    "It is out of what I had expected that you woulde here, Rowen." Connor said with a meaning smile


    spread on his face.


    Rowen grinned and answered, "It''s honor to see you again, Boss Davies. You truly deserve the name


    of the pir of this city as always."


    Connor, out of the corner of her eyes, nced at Chief Carr and Maximilian and frowned, "Stop ying


    stupid jokes on me, Rowen. Please take your seat." He knew that Rowen was trying to provoke


    dissension between him and the others including Chief Carr and Maximilian in H city.


    Being annoyed inside to meet the failure of his conspiracy, Rowen sat down, looked at Maximilian up


    and down and sneered, "Well, Boss Davies, could you please introduce this friend of yours to me?"


    Though he was seen calm and confident from the expression of his face, Connor, staring at Rowen


    silently, was at the moment dumbed and at a loss inside to exin anything to conceal the identity of


    Maximilian. He knew what the sort of people Rowen was, and telling him the identity of Maximilian


    would definitely bring trouble and chaos to his friend.


    "No way, Rowen. Leave him alone." Connor answered in a severe tone.


    It was obvious to the people in presence that Connor was on the side of Maximilian and trying to


    protect him from the malignity of Rowen, which made them also curious about the identity of Maximilian


    and the rtionship between him and Connor.


    Rowen turned to Maximilian, looking at him viciously and grinning, "Since our dear Boss Davies is not


    going to do me this favour, boy, how about I take the first step to get us two acquainted?"


    Maximilian was staring at him silently as before, neither giving him any response nor making any


    further movements.


    Seeing that Maximilian ignored his words, Rowen was a little annoyed and veined his forehead. He

    restrained the impulsiveness within and reached out one of his hand, "There is a saying that everything


    starts with a hand shake. Nice to meet you, boy."


    The expression in his eyes was flicking with unspeakable malignity, and all of this was also seen in the


    eyes of Maximilian. He could feel that it was by no means just a simple, easy hand-shaking.


    He looked down at the hand of Rowen, and found that a sharp silver needle stuck out of the inner side


    of the ring on his finger.


    Everything was clear now, and his choice would be to either bear stabbing pain and shake hands with


    Rowen, or figure out another way to keep himself from getting hurt.


    Rowen, lifting the corner of his lips and grinning viciously, was imagining the expression on


    Maximilian''s face when the needle pierced through his skin.


    However, it was out of what he had expected that Maximilian just smiled, held his hand and then


    loosened as if nothing had exactly happened. Rowen was stunned, and wondering if this man was not


    afraid of pain or if he was just pretending to be fine. He then focused on the hand of Maximilian, and


    surprisingly found that there was not even a single bloody hole in it.


    Rowen raised his head with eyes open wide and mouth spread out of astonishment, "It could not be!


    What have you done?''Maximilian, smiling as usual, pointed at the hand of Rowen. Rowen looked down


    again, and shook to find that the needle was bended at an exaggerated angle.


    The fact was that Maximilian had concentrated part of his internal force on his hand before shaking


    hands with Rowen, which the silver needle failed to fight against.


    Connor had witnessed everything that happened. The hand-shaking, ring on his finger, and needle


    sticking out of it were all the same as what Rowen had done to him years before.
