Chapter 76

After grabbing a bite, Maximilian told Felix to chill while he headed down to the basement.

As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, a tall guy in a black suit came over, pushed his wheelchair, and helped him into a nearby black car.

Once the door shut, the car sped off towards the edge of the city.

Inside the car, it was super quiet.

After flipping through some papers, Maximilian set them down, closed his eyes, and leaned back lazily in the leather seat.

After a bit, he asked calmly, "How long has she been locked up?"

Emilio answered, "It's been a whole day now."

Not only had she been locked up for a day, but she hadn't had a drop of water. The stuff they were doing to her was way more than a naive girl could handle. Another day of this, and she'd probably lose it. Maximilian nodded and stayed quiet with his eyes closed.

Since he was silent, no one else dared to make a peep, worried they'd disturb his rest.

The car stopped at a bungalow on the outskirts. It looked like any regular farmhouse from the outside.

But inside, it was a whole different story.

Once inside, Emilio opened an iron door, and a cold, damp, sticky feeling hit them.

Emilio frowned, glanced at Maximilian's legs, and took a blanket from one of the guys, carefully laying it over Maximilian's legs. "It's cold in here, don't catch a chill."

Then he pushed the wheelchair inside.
