Chapter 31: A Good Show Is Around the Corner!
"Greta." Derrick frowned slightly. Greta did not consider Maxwell’s feelings when she spoke just now.
"Have a seat. I recently acquired this tea. Have a taste of it." Hal smiled faintly.
After Maxwell and the others sat down, Derrick took a sip of the tea and clicked his tongue. "Hal, it
tastes good. It's good tea."
Greta did not like tea but still took a sip. She commented, "Not bad."
As for Leila, she lowered her head and sniffed, and her eyes flashed with surprise.
Its fragrance was very familiar to Leila. Back then, when Leila was serving in the Task Force, she was
specially invited to have a cup of tea by a certain officer because she had made a great contribution.
At that time, Leila knew nothing about tea, and she was not interested in tea either. However, the taste
of the tea was extremely good. Leila only took a sip yet it was unforgettable.
She remembered that the officer told her the origin of this tea. This tea had a unique flavor and was the
king of tea. It was precious. The annual production was unimaginably low, and even the most powerful
people would find it difficult to obtain it. Those who were qualified to enjoy this tea were all powerful
men in China.
That time, the officer was lucky enough to get the tea as a reward. Therefore, Leila was very lucky to
be able to enjoy the tea.
But she didn't expect that this kind of tea would appear again in a small city like Ocean City...
Leila looked at Hal with sharp eyes. She had a hunch that this man was definitely not simple.
Maxwell took a sip of the tea and put the cup down. Deep in his eyes, complicated emotion mixed with
killing intent was being formed...
Derrick turned to look at Maxwell and asked, "Maxwell, what do you think of this tea?"
Maxwell put down the teacup and clicked his tongue. "The tea tastes pretty good. It should be of top
quality, right?"
"That's right." Hal applauded and looked at Maxwell with admiration. "Mr. Maxwell has always been an
expert. Even I can't get much of the tea."
"Oh, this tea has a history?" Derrick was slightly shocked. Obviously, he was very interested.
"Of course, have you heard of Emperor of Tea?" Hal smiled faintly.
"Emperor of Tea? Produced by the two ancient tea plants, and is called liquid diamond?" Derrick was
astounded and his expression changed slightly.
"It's just a cup of tea. How can it be called liquid diamond?" Greta scoffed. In her eyes, it was just hype.
"No." Derrick's expression was serious as he looked at the bright red tea soup in the cup. "Emperor of
Tea is the best among the tea. Every tea plant has a very low output over the years. The few remaining
ancient tea plants have died, so the tea was more popular. Most importantly..." Derrick paused for a
moment and his expression became strange.
"Last year, there was a great shock in the tea industry because an ancient tea plant was stolen ... It
disappeared without a trace. Countless big shots tried to find it, but failed." Hal said indifferently.
Derrick sighed. "I wonder who has such great power to steal such a big ancient tea plant. It is said that
there was only a huge pit left at the scene..."
Maxwell was calm. Derrick and Hal had no idea that Maxwell was that wanted thief!
That ancient tea plant was planted in the backyard of his villa in Colombia. During that time, Maxwell
even used the tea soup that countless people crazily pursued to gargle, wash his feet, and even
bathe...
Fortunately, no one knew what Maxwell had done ... Otherwise, those tea lovers would probably kill
Maxwell!
"Emperor of Tea is a good thing. Not only can it prolong one's life, it also has many benefits to one's
health. After drinking it, it will be tasteless to drink other tea, and its taste is unforgettable." Derrick
sighed with emotion and carefully took a sip. Then he gently placed the cup down.
Hal smiled faintly. In fact, the Emperor of Tea was one of the gifts Hal had prepared for Maxwell. Now,
he took a portion of it and seized the opportunity to trap Maxwell and Greta.
"If you want more, I still have some stock and I'm not interested in tea either. I'll give it to you then," Hal
said.
Derrick was dumbfounded and waved his hand. The Emperor of Tea was incomparably valuable, and it
was even more precious than jewelries. This was definitely an unimaginable gift!
Derrick and Hal chatted for a while. Beside them, Greta saw Maxwell gulping down tea soup of
Emperor of Tea one cup after another with dull eyes.
This fellow's principle was to take advantage of free items. The precious tea soup was consumed like
boiled water by him! Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
"Hurry up and get out, don't embarrass yourself!" Greta bit her lips and looked at Maxwell with hatred
and regrets! How could she have such a husband? It was too embarrassing!
Greta fiercely pinched Maxwell's waist with her slender hand, and Maxwell's expression changed
slightly. He could only endure the pain and smile embarrassedly as he pushed open the door and
walked out of the reception room.
Maxwell stood in the reception room for a while. Suddenly, he saw a man wearing a peaked cap. The
man lowered his head and quickly walked into Greta's office.
Maxwell stared at the man with amusement, and he suddenly realized something in his heart.
The mysterious man disguised himself and walked into the office. He looked around and quickly walked
to Greta's desk. He opened the drawer, took out a stuffed plastic bag from his clothes and put it in.
Suddenly, a few applauses rang out in the quiet and empty office.
The man trembled. He suddenly turned around and reached out for the gun on his waist!
He was discovered!
Maxwell appeared behind him out of nowhere and looked at him calmly with cold eyes.
"Hal has a really good plan, but he had no idea about what he was doing." Maxwell was fiddling with
the black gun in his hand, and man stared fixedly at the gun in Maxwell's hand with horror!
That was his gun, but it was taken away by Maxwell without him noticing it!
"Die!" The man's eyes suddenly flashed with a fierce killing intent. He waved his fist and punched
towards Maxwell!
Maxwell kicked hard the man into the air and the man fainted after being smashed to the ground.
After the man woke up, Maxwell was nowhere to be seen. He opened the drawer and found that the
package was there. Only then did he feel relieved. Then he ran out of the Sandoval Tower in panic.
However, what he didn't know was that there was a man sitting in a Maybach parked at the entrance of
the Sandoval Tower. He had a wide smile on his face and he started the car.
Until the man got on the taxi, the Maybach followed closely behind it into the distance...
The taxi stopped in front of a hotel. The man got off the taxi and walked into a room. He said to one of
Hal's subordinates, "I've left it in Greta's office. Everything went smoothly."
"Very good. The money will be transferred to your bank account. After that, Mr. Hal will give you
another reward." That subordinate had no idea that a man was flipping through the window into the
room next door.
The infiltrator glanced around and fixed his gaze on a safe with a wide and meaningful smile.
After the mysterious man left, Hal's subordinate took out his phone without any hesitation and called
the police!
...
In a police station in the Ocean City, a black landline suddenly rang. Claudia picked up the phone and
her cold expression suddenly became sharp. "Yes!"
Immediately after, Claudia hung up the phone and rushed out. She shouted, "All police officers
immediately form a team. There are tip-offs that the Sandoval Group is in possession of drugs, which
may be related to the previous drug trafficking case."
"Yes!"
Not long after, countless police cars were driven out of the station with flashing beacons and ringing
sirens! They swarmed towards the Sandoval Group!
...
Sandoval Tower. Reception room.
Hal glanced at the empty seat and frowned. "Where's Mr. Maxwell? He doesn't need to use the
bathroom for so long, does he?"
Greta winked at Leila. Leila understood and opened the office door to let Maxwell in. "I told him to stay
outside."
"Mr. Maxwell and Greta have been married for so long. They should be living a happy life, right?" Hal
suddenly changed the topic and looked at Maxwell and Greta while saying sharp words.
Greta's pretty face froze as she nodded.
Hal chuckled and said, "I hope you two can face hardships together in the future."
"Hal, what do you mean?" Greta frowned in puzzlement.
Right at this moment, Melissa rushed into the office in a panic and said, "Ms. Greta, Chairman Derrick,
something is wrong. The Ocean City Police Station has arrived."
"What's going on?" Derrick's expression suddenly changed. The Sandoval Group had always been
diligent and had never done anything against the law. Why did the Ocean City Police Station suddenly
pay a visit?
Gradually, the atmosphere became freaky!
Hal suddenly stood up and smiled. "A good show is around the corner."
Hal's reaction confused Derrick and Greta and they did not understand what was going on.
Leila's heart was wrenched as she stared at Hal with an ominous premonition.
However, Maxwell's smile became even brighter. He added, "Yes, a good show is around the corner."
Greta gave Maxwell a disdainful glance. This fellow didn't know anything and was just flattering Hal.
Hal looked at Greta and Maxwell with his smile becoming even colder.
In his opinion, the loser husband, the bitch, and the Sandoval family were getting closer and closer to
their doom.
He had arranged everything and was just waiting for the plot to develop. He made use of the Ocean
City Police Station to perform a good show.
