Chapter 163: Her place, my place
Maxim shot a warning gaze in Ryle’s direction. If he raised his voice at Diana for another time, their friendship would be as good as dead already.
Ryle cleared his throat, taking the cue, and glanced at Diana as if he was looking at a child, "Of course not, Your Highness. How dare I threaten your people?" He said in a coaxing voice.
Maxim narrowed his eyes at him at the ’your people’.
Ryle leaned closer, "Stop glaring at me. I am just trying to help with the situation," he whispered in his ear and nodded assuredly before pulling back.
Before Ryle could talk again, Maxim heard the man named Dexter speaking, "Contract? I can disappear once without you being able to trace my whereabouts for two years. I can do it all over again. I will see who can stop me. Don’t push my boundaries. You won’t like the outcome," he looked at Ryle with an aloof gaze.
Ryle was ready to argue but Diana glanced at him with wide doe eyes.
Gulping his grievances, Ryle turned to look at Maxim with a pitiful gaze.
Maxim ignored him and watched as Diana was pulled closer by the other man.
"I will see who dares to stop me," With that said, Dexter turned to leave while holding Diana’s hand.
Maxim frowned. Just as he took a step forward, the man stopped in his tracks and pulled his leather jacket, revealing the shining metal of a gun, "I will blow this place if any of you tries to waste another minute of mine," he warned, looking at him from above his shoulder.
Before Maxim could follow him, Ryle held his hand, "He is not an unreasonable person."
