A few days later...
After flirting with his wives and Lilith, Maximus turned his attention to the unexpected visitors.
A few days of feasting and merriment seemed to have whittled their patience.
Bidding farewell to his wives, telling them to prepare for their honeymoon, Maximus meet them out.
"These gentlemen, shall we continue in the conference room?" he invited.
"Hmm, that would be appropriate," Goldfiend Vanderbilt, the group's representative, agreed.
As for Fealan, he had already returned to the Arcane Continent after offering his congratulations.
Being the most influential and having the most interaction with Maximus, Goldfiend was chosen as their representative.
...
In the conference room...
Observing the solemn atmosphere, Maximus spoke directly.
"What is it that you want?"
He didn't have time for wordplays; his schedule was already packed, and he didn't want to add any more.
