Chapter 118: CHAPTER 118 – Maximus Steele.
"What do you think about the things Crimson Lotus had been doing these days?" A guy with neatly combed hair and a professional black suit asked a guy from the group of people in front of him.
The guy in the professional suit was a host in a show called 'Let's see what's on'.
In front of him, there was a group of people from different places and different occupations, and all of them had different opinions.
"I think they are just doing all that for fame," The guy who was asked the question replied as if he was stating a fact.
This guy's name was Richard Mile, and he was one of the top businessmen in his country.
"So, as a businessman, you think they are using this opportunity to gain fame?" The host of the show asked with a sparkle of curiosity in his eyes.
"Yes, from what I can see, they are gaining a large fanbase and followers due to their recent achievements and works, so I believe they are doing it for fame," Richard replied as he sat with crossed hands.
"I see," The host spoke before he turned to a lady sitting right beside Richard.
"Madam Taylor, what do you think they are gathering this fame for?" The host asked.
"They have already declared themselves as the rank one guild, so what's stopping them from becoming the first ranked force of the world?" Madam Taylor or Ashley Taylor replied to the question with another question.
"Please enlighten us, Madam Taylor," The host just asked for Ashley to continue.
He was just a host of a show after all, he didn't want to think too much, he just wanted some spicy news.
Ashley Taylor on the other hand was the wife of a senior politician while being one herself.
"They need support, and the public is the best support, after all, even if they have power, what will they do if they have no one to rule over?" Ashley spoke as she straightened her back.
It was as if she was teaching the host, but the host was stuck on her words as he smelled some spice there.
"So, you are saying that the Crimson Lotus Guild is trying to create a new empire like the Blue Empire?" The host commented but he changed it into a question as he saw Ashley's eyes turned sharp.
"I never said that, what I said is that they need support, and the public is the best support one can ask for-" Ashley defended herself, but her words were cut off by another male voice.
"Why don't you guys just accept that you guys don't like seeing someone doing good for the world?
You won't do it, but if someone else does it then you think that they have a motive behind it."
A guy in a nicely tucked blue shirt with a black tie on his neck spoke. He wore black pants that looked ironed and polished black shoes.
Ashley looked at the guy for a while but then turned her head without saying anything as it would do more harm than good speaking against that guy.
"What do you mean, Sir?" The host asked with fake confusion, but there was respect in his voice as he didn't want to offend the person in front of him.
"I mean what I said, can you guys not think that maybe, just maybe they did all this just so that they could help out the world that is in dire need of help right now?
I mean, what did the Crimson Lotus Guild do to you guys? Why are you guys so fixated on the thought that there must be something they are gaining from all this?
Those guys had been working their asses off out there just so that you people can be safe in your house, can't you guys just own up to the fact that you guys don't like that someone out there is doing something that you guys couldn't?
Pardon my language."
The guy spoke.
"Cut!" Just then a loud shout was heard as the serious atmosphere broke and turned hectic as many makeup artists ran to every person who was sitting there.
Ashley, however, still looked at the guy who spoke at the last.
It was he who invited her here saying that he wanted her to speak her point here and he would record it to be shown on the show tomorrow.
Ashley was a B-ranked raider along with being a politician, but that didn't mean that she could go against that man.
She accepted his offer as it was just her opinion and she was not going to say something out of the line. She was a politician after all, she knew how to play with her words.
The other people here were also invited here by the same guy, and all of them were told to do the same thing.
They had many things in their minds that they could say to refute the guy, but none dared to.
The guy in question was looking at the shot captured until he saw his right-hand man running toward him.
The guy's mature face turned serious as he knew from the expression of his subordinate that it was either very good news he was bringing or very bad news.
"The Crimson Lotus Guild accepted our request about the meeting!" The guy exclaimed just after he arrived in front of the man.
The man's face couldn't help but form into a smile.
'So, it was good news,' The man thought inwardly.
"When did they say the meeting will be?" The man asked his right-hand man, and the guy replied without a second of delay.
"Tomorrow. They said that they had been in this country for a while and they plan on staying here for a while, so they don't mind it," The guy spoke with a smile.
"I see, empty my schedule for tomorrow, I'm going to meet them together with my daughter and my wife," The man spoke with a smile.
"I will see to it, Sir," The man's right-hand man just bowed his head and spoke with a smile.
If it was any normal person then it would be very hard for them to empty their schedule on such short notice but not for this man, after all, he was the one with the guy who had power equal to the Raider Association of his country.
The man's name was Maximus Steele, and he was the owner of almost all of the businesses in Violet Country. The name Maximus was for the people he didn't consider close to himself as there are a rare few people who are close to him and they call him Max.
Maximus Steele was the master of the Steele house which was the second richest family in the world, coming right after Hart's family.
He was a man with dark brown hair, sharp brown eyes, and a clean-shaved face. He was 35 years old married man, with a wife and a daughter.
He was very handsome and his mature look and aura only made him look better, but to the disappointment of the ladies out there, he didn't want any other lover or wife.
He is a man who loves his wife and his daughter dearly and would do anything for them.
He was a very rich man with a loving family and a sweet sailing business.
But that was just for the weak, the strong knew him as the hidden leader of the Violet country.....
