Chapter 0551

Maximus got up, took a shower, and headed to Frederick Sander’s house. He rarely drank to the point of inebriation, but guilt had gnawed at him until he drowned it in alcohol. It wasn’t the best solution, but it silenced his inner demons, at least for a while.

After driving for over 30 minutes, he finally arrived. Frederick greeted him at the door, his expression neutral, and led him to where Marcus was waiting. Upon seeing Marcus, Maximus couldn’t resist a sarcastic remark.

“Well, well! Did someone finally punch you, or did you hit your face in the shower?”

“Maximus, I’m not in the mood for your comments… Besides, you don’t exactly look like the picture of health yourself.”

“Gentlemen, I need you both to behave,” Frederick interjected, sensing the tension. “I’m speaking to adults, not kids.”

Maximus, wearing sunglasses and looking irritable, muttered, “I might be tired and drunk, but at least I don’t have a bruised face.”

Just then, the doorbell rang again. Frederick hesitated, wanting to stay in the room to ensure the two men didn’t come to blows.

“I’ll get the door. Meanwhile, I expect you two to behave. I need both of you focused for what we’re about to discuss we have a serious problem.”

“Who else is coming?” Marcus asked warily. “I hope it’s not Peter.”
