Chapter 11 Just Three Minutes
This was Maximilian's promise to Victoria, a promise that would be kept!
He had been feeling guilty for Victoria over the past four years, and was eager to make it up for her.
During the past four years, Victoria had never left Maximilian, and would even secretly give money to Maximilian's mother.
Maximilian knew all of that.
Even though she might be colder and harsher to Maximilian in daily life, he could still feel her love.
In Maximilian’s mind, Victoria was the one he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. He was more than willing to spend the rest of his life protecting Victoria and Sissi.
“Have you lied to me?" Victoria's rosy cheeks were covered in tears.
For all these years, she had been looked down upon in her family, and always hoped that one day, she could act in a dignified manner, hugging Maximilian and telling everyone that he was her husband, Sissi's father.
Maximilian silently wiped Victoria's soft feet and said.
"Victoria, I promise you. I won't let you down again!"
After saying that, Maximilian turned away and left.
Victoria sat on the edge of the bed, watching Maximilian’s disappearing figure, with tears in her eyes.
"Maximilian, don't you ever let me down on you again......"
She has sacrificed so much and suffered a lot for her family four years.
How she wished they could be an admirable couple in the public one day!
Maximilian went out and dialed a number, and soon, Wilfred's respectful voice came from the other end of the phone.
"What can I do for you, young master?"
"Wilfred, have you heard of Graham Group?" Maximilian asked.
"Yes, one of the top medical device companies in the country. What about it?"
"Make an appointment for me. I want to meet the chairman immediately."
"Yes, young master, I'll do it right away." Wilfred replied.
Maximilian tilted his head, looking up at the sky dotted with stars.
He was the next Dragon Emperor of the Dragon Sect. Even though he was just a puppet manipulated by the Dragon Sect, he could still utilize the power of the Dragon Sect to do things he desired.
However, Maximilian didn't dare to make his identity known to the public yet.
That vicious woman was still there. She was the current Dragon Queen of the Dragon Sect.
Plotting and moving forward, Maximilian had his own plans.
Ever since he and his mother were thrown out of the Dragon Sect years ago, Maximilian had been bearing responsibility and blame, because he was aiming higher.
Everyone in the civil world thought he was a coward; everyone from the Dragon Sect took him as a bastard.
However, who knew Maximilian had his own layout and vision in mind for all these years?
In the darkness, a figure quietly stepped out, knelt down to Maximilian and said respectfully, "Young master, do you need me to go with you?"
Maximilian stood with his arms behind his back. Then he shook his head and said, "It's not necessary."
Someday, he would definitely become the Dragon Emperor, and by then he would no longer be afraid of the incumbent Dragon Queen!
Meanwhile, in the newly established Graham Group building in H City, the Chairman's Office on the top floor was lit up.
"Mr. Graham, there’s a man waiting for you downstairs. They said they've made an appointment earlier."
A woman in a black suit told the middle-aged man sitting in a boss chair. She crossed her arms in front of her abdomen, seemingly very respectful.
Ralphy, the chairman of the Graham Group in H City, sneered and said.
"Let him in."
Ten minutes ago, a phone call came from the headquarters of Graham Group, saying that someone wanted to see him, and Ralphy agreed to it immediately.
After all, it was a call from the headquarters, and as the Chairman in the H City branch, he had to follow orders from the top.
Soon, Maximilian appeared in the large and luxurious office.
Ralphy raised his eyebrows and glanced at Maximilian with courtesy before saying,
"I wonder what I can do for you, sir."
The young man looked more than ordinary. Ralphy wondered how he convinced the headquarters to make the call.
"Mr. Graham. I’m here today to ask for a favor."
Maximilian explained the situation to him directly.
Ralphy put down the golden pen in his hand, and asked in amazement.
"Well, it will be a great pleasure for me then...."
"I heard that the Graham Group is seeking a partner among pharmaceutical companies in H City. I hope you can choose Yunsheng Pharmaceutical owned by Griffiths. And let Victoria be the person in charge." Maximilian said softly.
He seemed so calm. Ralphy frowned and said with a slightly unhappy face, "Who are you? Why are you helping the Griffiths? As far as I know, Yunsheng Pharmaceutical is only a second-rate company in H City. It's not even qualified to cooperate with us."
Graham Group was one of the largest companies in the country, a listed company.
Therefore, they intended to find a strong and influential local company to be their partner.
A small company like Yunsheng Pharmaceuticals only generated a profit around tens of million dollars a year.
It was not qualified at all!
"Victoria is my wife, and my name is Maximilian." Maximilian answered.
Ralphy shook slightly and asked suspiciously.
"You’re Maximilian?" A rich and meaningful sneer emerged on his face.
He knew lots of medical companies and pharmaceutical factories in H City, and Yunsheng Pharmaceutical was of course one of them. However what interested him in Yunsheng Pharmaceutical was not its qualification, but, instead, he was very interested in the story of the Griffiths' coward son-in-law.
Maximilian, the Griffiths' good-for-nothing son-in-law, brought shame to the whole Griffith family.
Victoria was the daughter of the second wife of Mr. Griffith. She was once a high-fed girl, but now she had become the laughing stock of her family because she mistakenly married a talentless trash.
With a cold laugh, Ralphy had more contempt in his eyes and laughed.
"So, you're Maximilian, the most famous coward in H City."
Maximilian smiled blandly and replied, "I’m pleased that you’ve heard about me before. Please do me the favor. I owe you this one."
Many people would do all they can to do favors for the next Dragon Emperor of the Dragon Sect.
However...
Ralphy shook his head and said,
"I don't know how you contacted the Graham Group headquarters, but I will have to say no.
Yunsheng Pharmaceutical is not qualified to be a partner for us.
Furthermore, a trash like you is even less qualified to make me agree to this."
"Mr. Graham, you’d better think twice, many people would strive for the opportunity to do me a favor,"
Maximilian said with a faint smile and calm eyes.
Ralphy shuddered and then he was irritated. He slammed the desk and shouted,
"Do you a favor? How dare you ask me to do you any favor, you wimpy bastard! Look at yourself! What are you? Send him out of my room!"
Maximilian had been famous in H City for four years, because he lived on a woman from the Griffith.
Of course, people would look down on him.
Ralphy thought he should be someone influential, as the headquarters called him in person.
Therefore, he was surprised to see the notorious loser in H City!
And that made him very unhappy!
The young man wanted him to cooperate with Yunsheng Pharmaceutical, which was daydreaming!
"Mr. Graham, are you sure you don't want to do it?" Maximilian said with a frown.
Maximilian was treating the man with respect because he was asking the man for a favor.
Ralphy looked arrogant and answered, "I’ve made my point clear. You can get lost or I'll call the security!"
Ralphy had run out of patience. He got up and stood in front of the large floor-to-ceiling window, and then turned back.
However...at this moment, a discordant voice broke the silence in the office.
Maximilian took out his phone before dialing Wilfred's number and said in a cold voice, "He refused me. You have three minutes to take care of this."
Pop!
The phone was hung up. Wilfred was already soaked in cold sweat!
"Damn! The young master is angry!”
In a hurry, Wilfred asked his assistant to dial the phone number of Cooper Graham, the Chairman of Graham Group headquarters.
The phone was immediately answered. Cooper Graham, who was in his sixties said with a respectful and flattering face,
"Mr... Mr. Collins, I didn't expect you to call me personally. To what do I owe this pleasure?"
At this moment, Cooper was in a conference room at the headquarters. The entire conference room was filled with senior leaders of the group.
Cooper was the founding father of the Graham Group. He was also one of the three giants of the domestic medical business with assets over 50 billion dollars!
Moreover, he was one of the permanent presidents of the National Medical Association, occupying a decisive position in the medical field in the country!
A man like him would be respected wherever he went.
Therefore, everyone felt it so weird to see him acting so cautiously today.
Of course, it was all because of that phone call.
They were surprised to see that someone could make Cooper talk in such a serious manner. The man on the other side of the phone was definitely a bigwig.
"Cooper! What's wrong with you? My young master wanted your branch in H City to cooperate with Yunsheng Pharmaceutical, why do you refuse his proposal? Are you sure you want to upset the Dragon Sect?" Wilfred questioned in a cold voice!
Damn!
Sweats leaked out of Cooper’s head immediately, making him shivering, and then he explained,
"Mr. Collins... it’s not like that. They may not have conveyed my message properly. I will inform the branch personally now!"
"Be quick! You only have three minutes!"
Wilfred said and hung up the phone angrily.
Cooper, on the other hand, was taken over by panic, and yelled hastily.
"Who's in charge of the H City branch?"
He was so mad!
He knew Mr. Collin's young master was the Dragon Emperor of the Dragon Sect!
Upsetting the Dragon Sect was like cutting open their throats!
"It's Ralphy, your nephew." The assistant explained hastily.
"Give me his phone number as soon as possible, the life and death of our group completely depend on him now!" Cooper shouted, looking so anxious.
In Ralphy's office, he was so drunk with self-pride that he even yelled at Maximilian,
"Three minutes? Where does a coward like you get your confidence? This is Graham Group, and it's me. It’s my decision to make, because I’m the boss here!"
However, with a calm face, Maximilian interrupted him, "Right away."
As soon as Maximilian finished speaking, Ralphy's brow furrowed. He was just about to argue angrily when the phone on his desk rang!
