Dragon Master novel Maximilian
Chapter 721 It Was Suspicious

Maximilian winked at Flora, and said softly, "Show your certificate to him."

Flora took out her certificate, held her head up and handed it to Read, "Look at it, and you'll get nothing to say."

Read took a look at it and his eyes widened. He checked the certificate several times, and finally returned it to Flora.

"Well... I need to call the leader for instructions, please wait a minute."

Then Read walked back to the gate house quickly and picked up the phone on the desk.

Flora put away her certificate and snorted, arrogantly like a peacock.

Read quickly put down the phone and walked out again, "I will take you to talk with Director Nicholson. He is in charge of security."

"Thank you." Maximilian was very grateful to Read. If it weren't for Read, he might have to spare more efforts.

Read led Maximilian and Flora to the office area and made a brief introduction of their factory.

When he reached the door of the security office, Read knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Read opened the door and walked in, "Director Nicholson they are Mr. Lee, the security minister of the Topyuan Group, and Miss Flora from the Secret Investigation Department."

Director Nicholson raised his head and glanced at them, "Read told me about you and he can coordinate with you to deal with that matter. He used to be a police officer. He had experience of solving crimes and can help you get familiar with the factory. But the production area is forbidden."

Director Nicholson glanced at Read, and waved his hand gently, indicating him to take them away.

"Okay, Director Nicholson. I will definitely cooperate fully. Then we won't bother."

Taking Maximilian and Flora out of the office, Read said with embarrassment, "It's hard to be a good person. I will help you with it. Do you want to check the surveillance video or visit the factory?"

"No. Find a quiet place and I'll ask you a few questions. "Maximilian wanted to hit the subject for there was no so much time left.

He came here to lure the snake out of hole.

Read took a surprised look at Maximilian, walked to the next office, and took out the key to open the door, "Let's talk about it here. This is my office, but I don't usually use it."

Don't you usually use it? Maximilian felt that Read's words were a little bit strange, as if he wanted to emphasize something deliberately.

Read opened the door, walked in, then pulled away the curtains and opened the window.

"I don't use this office frequently. It may have an unpleasant odor. Hope you don't mind. Do you need me to spray some air freshener?"

Without Maximilian's reply, he had already picked up the air freshener from the table and sprayed it in the room.

Maximilian glanced at where the air freshener was placed.

It was in the middle of the table where he could easily reach it. Usually this kind of object was not used frequently and should be kept in the corner. However, Read's air freshener was placed within easy reach and seemed to be used frequently.

Maximilian sat in a chair, thinking about the smell when he entered the door just now.

It was rather weird, but he was sure that it wasn't a strange smell caused by the long lack of air circulation.

Maximilian carefully observed every corner and detail of the room, feeling very strange.

Commonly used items were placed in the corners, while less frequently used ones were easily accessed.

For example, toolboxes, circuit boards, and some old-fashioned appliances such as walkmans and MP3s that had been disassembled.

Maximilian noticed that there were some old newspapers in the trash can in the corner which had been yellowed by time.

Read put down the air freshener and smiled awkwardly.

"It's very messy here. I usually tinker with small objects, especially disassembling some small electrical appliances and studying their circuit structure. Don't be surprised."

He took three bottles of mineral water from the box in the corner and put them on the table. Then he smiled and said, "I don't come often, so I didn't prepare hot water. Let's drink mineral water."

After passing them to Maximilian and Flora, Read sat down with a gentle smile, "What do you want to ask? I will tell you all if I know."

"I heard Director Nicholson say that you were a police officer before. Why are you acting as a security guard here? "Maximilian asked curiously.

Maximilian was very curious about Read's identity, and felt that he was one of the killers.

Maximilian affirmed that Read didn't take action alone and was a pivotal figure of a certain killer gang.

Read was dull for a while, for he didn't expect Maximilian to ask such a question, "This... Can I not answer?

Maximilian shook his head decisively. Read's straight back instantly bent, and he revealed an expression of pain.

"I used to be an undercover agent. At that time, the boss of my organization suspected me, and I had only two choices. One was to prove myself and the other was to escape.

In such a situation, I had no choice. So I discussed with my superior and wanted to get away, but he wasn't willing to give up. After all, we struck to win their trust and had been undercover for two years in the organization.

He persuaded me to stick to it. For the ridiculous justice, I stayed in that organization. But later, the boss caught him. To survive, he intended to betray me I had no choice but to kill him in order to avoid exposure."

Read already shed tears and pulled his hair hard with both hands, "My life is saved, and the organization is destroyed. But I was guilty, so I applied to be transferred from the police team to be a security guard here."

Read leaned weakly on the back of the chair, covering his eyes with his hands. Tears streamed down through his fingers, and he looked sad.

"Sorry, I didn't know it was such a sad story." Maximilian comforted him, but stared at his hand and his side face.

Read's little finger and cheeks trembled slightly, as if he was gritting his teeth.

Seeing his subtle expression, Maximilian chuckled lightly. He picked up the tissue box on the table, took out a few tissues and handed them to Read.☐☐☐☐
