The corporate soldiers closed in on Maximilian's side, weapons in hand. They switched to stun batons, intending to beat Maximilian and Switch to humiliate Gu Yichen for his inability to protect his guests.
Afraid of the consequences? That thought never crossed their minds. Gu Tian's prestige far surpassed that of the fallen young master Gu Yichen. The soldiers were confident that by catering to Gu Tian's whims, they'd never be held accountable.
Wicked smiles crept across their faces as they advanced toward Switch and Maximilian, stun batons ready. Though Gu Tian had only ordered them to capture the two, the underlying message was clear: humiliate the disgraced first young master.
"I suggest you stop what you're about to do," Maximilian warned, eyes cold as he looked at Gu Tian. "I've already accepted that I'm not welcome here, so I'll leave peacefully. Let's end this while you still have the chance to do so on your terms."
