Chapter 965 The Price of Pride


    Down the stage, people began to p their hands to wee the presence of Victoria.


    Victoria was by no means frightened by the stage, since she had gone through many sorts of activities


    even more challenging than such in her life. She went up onto the stage confidently and said,


    "Greetings, it''s my great pleasure to meet you guys, and I sincerely hope that we could build a strong


    and solid rtionship with each other."


    "What a humble and graceful manner, Miss. Victoria!" ttered thoseckeys down the stage, who


    were hired by Rowen to work on such lively ambiance.


    Rowen nodded his head, and seemed pretty satisfied with their performance.


    On the other hand, Elias, the young rich second generation, was gritting his teeth and ring at


    Maximilian for the losses he had suffered.


    He had no idea that someone would ever put him in such a dilemma. Then, he began to try something


    else harder: he took out a pack of banknotes and said to Maximilian, "Now, take this and fuck off, idiot."


    Maximilian took a nce at the pack of banknotes and then shifted his eyes disdainfully.


    The Elias had never expected something as ridiculous as such would ever happen, and he was also a


    little annoyed by the response of Maximilian.


    As a result, he chose to do things in a tough way. He snapped his fingers and called up a dozen big


    fellows.


    "What may we serve you, master?" Even though those big fellows understood clearly why their master


    had called them up, they still gently behaved themselves in order to make him look cooler.


    Elias pointed at Maximilian and ordered, "Get that son of bitch out of here!"


    "There should be a better way out, master." Looking at each other, those big fellows thought that they


    were staying in the ce of Rowen, and he would probably not be so happy to see his guest being


    rudely treated.


    "I''m not asking for your opinion, dumb ass! Just do it!" Elias gave his fellow a cold stare and continued,


    "He is by no means someone special to Rowen, we don''t have to worry about it!"


    Hearing that, those fellows then gave Maximilian a more detailed look:paring with those rich men


    wearing clothes which might even cost more than thousands of dors, the man standing in their front


    was only wearing clothes seemingly bought from flea market.


    Without any hesitation, they no longer considered Maximilian as a guest of Rowen but merely an


    ordinary man of no importance, nning to go and catch him.


    Something as such was unsurprising for Maximilian. Calmly and silently, he took one of the fellows on


    his shoulder. At the next moment, the man lost consciousness before he could even realize what''s


    going on.


    The others, standing aside and looking at the one lying on the ground, were stunned by the skills of


    Maximilian and felt it hard to believe what had just happened.


    "Have you guys seen that?" They looked at each other and seemed confused, daring not to take any


    further action against Maximilian.


    The Elias yelled impatiently, "Yeah, I have seen it! That pussy had just been struck by his low blood


    pressure and thus be unconscious, you dumb ass!"


    The other fellow chose to believe in his words and tried to catch Maximilian.


    For Maximilian, he just smiled, sat on the chair and looked at those fellows, who were trying any


    methods they could but all was in vain.


    Those big fellows had never expected that Maximilian was a man with such amazing skills, scratching


    their heads fretfully and having no idea how to deal with him for the moment.


    A whileter, Maximilian easily repulsed those helpless big fellows, who thought that they were as if


    fighting against a demon from the underworld faced with Maximilian.


    "He is really tough!" Those fellow took a deep breath and retreated a step.


    The Elias was stunned by everything that he had just seen and realized that he had previously


    thoroughly underestimated the capability of Maximilian.


    Hastily, he took a few steps backwards and didn''t know what to do for the moment. Then, he gritted his


    teeth and decided to get away, since it was totally a shame for him continuously losing to the same


    man.


    As he was taking his steps backwards, he felt that he had hit someone with his back. It was the


    moment when he turned around and was about to let off his rage out of suffering indignity from


    Maximilian that he was stunned to see the one standing behind.


    The one who came was also a young man, with a more delicate face and decent dressing. Besides the


    evil smile hanging on his face, one could also see from his finger a ring with a word "Cunningham"


    engraved on it.


    "Oh! I''m sorry, Ayan." The Elias immediately lowered his voice and dared not to catch Ayan''s eyes.


    Ayan hummed, "Hey there, loser. How do you feel about losing to another loser? Quite unsurprising


    and natural for me to see so, to be honest."


    Such words had ignited the me inside of the Elias, while he had no choice but to restrain his anger


    and smile awkwardly at Ayan.


    Maximilian was also dumbed by his unsmiling countenance and sharp words.


    Ayan then walked directly to Grace, subconsciously reached out to take the hand of her and was about


    to kiss it.


    Being about to go up and stop him, Maximilian was held back by Grace with a meaningful smile on her


    face. Though he was quite confused about it for that moment, afterwards, Grace secretly told him that


    she had wiped poison on her hands.


    Stunned, Maximilian thought that it was an amazing strategy and couldn''t help raising his thumb to


    Grace.


    For Ayan, seeing that Grace was seemingly receptive to his gantry, he began to confidently introduce


    himself, "Greetings, deardy! It is my great honor to meet you here. I''m Ayan, the second born of the


    Cunningham, and I''m wondering if I could …!"


    As he was about to continue, the color of purple gradually spread on his lips, and he was stunned to


    find himself failing to say anything.


    With his mouth opened and closed awkwardly trying to force out something from his throat, Ayan


    looked around in panic while he couldn''t figure out what had exactly happened. His bodyguards were


    also dumbed by the situation: it was something that they had never seen in their whole life.


    Finally, Ayan fixed his eyes on Grace and pointed at her angrily.


    Grace smiled and said, "You now understand that it''s not so appropriate to kiss others'' hands casually,


    don''t you? Next time, beware in case you fall into the same situation again.


    Those bodyguards were stunned to hear that. They shouted at Grace, "How dare you do such thing to


    our master!"


    "I have done nothing wrong, dude! It was him who came up like an idiot, took my hand and kissed it like


    a yboy. He left me no choice but to ept it." Grace shrugged and answered.


    Those bodyguards'' faces darkened out of anger. Then, they rushed to Grace and attacked her.


    In terms of physical skills, these tough guys were by no meanspetitive rtive to Grace. What''s


    more, she was an expert on poison and trickery. Therefore, these fellows were all beaten by Grace


    after a while.


    The others of the Cunningham had soon gathered around and were stunned by the scene. They yelled


    at Grace, "Let him go!"


    "Not until he says sorry to me! He bought it on himself, and now he needs to pay for that!" Grace inly


    said to them.


    Ayan, with his trembling lips and a mouth literally failing to say anything, had no choice but to bring his


    hands together and express his apology.N?velDrama.Org ? content.
