A cold masculine voice suddenly sounded, which shocked the people who were taking pictures of the boy.
There was not a hint of warmth in his deep voice. It pierced through everyone's ears, all the way to their hearts.
Everyone shuddered uncontrollably and turned to look at where the voice had come from.
A man who was wearing a mask stood there, emitting a cold and unforgiving air. A hand was in his pocket as he looked at them with a sharp look. The people couldn't help but feel frightened by such a dignified aura.
"You, you are..."
"Since he has refused, shouldn't you get out of here?" The man spoke again. The words uttered by his thin lips were sharp like knives.
The people's faces turned ghastly as Maddox's words were too harsh.
"Who are you to say that to us? We were just taking pictures. We didn't do anything to him. You..."
One of them wasn't scared and refuted. As a result, Maddox shot her a cold glare before she could even finish her words. She was so scared that she swallowed her words and said pitifully, "Well, I got it. I will delete the photos on my phone right away."
After that, she took out her mobile phone and deleted all the photos she took just now in front of everyone. Then, she turned around and walked away.
The man who had a mask on was obviously not an ordinary person. Besides, the people invited by the Hanover family were either rich or noble. Before she came over, her family members had warned her not to create trouble, thus she'd better leave quickly.
The person who took the lead in taking the photos was reluctant to submit to him, but when she saw that everyone had deleted the photos and left, she couldn't retort.
She bitterly took out her mobile phone and deleted the photos taken earlier. The others also followed suit and left.
After the crowd dispersed, Maddox looked away and sneered. Then, he turned around and was about to leave.
It was really not peaceful wherever he went.
That was why he had never liked this kind of occasion before. If he had a choice, he wouldn't have come here, dressed up like this.
After walking a few steps, he heard a child's voice behind him.
"Thank you, Uncle."
Maddox stopped in his tracks. After a moment of silence, he slowly turned around.
Under the dim light, a small figure stood there. He was wearing a suit but he also wore an unsuitable cartoon mask on his face.
A mask?
Maddox narrowed his eyes and stared into the little boy's eyes, which were like black glass beads behind the mask.
For some reason, Maddox felt that his eyes seemed familiar.
"Where have I seen him?"
Beanie smiled at Maddox and reminded him in a childish voice, "Uncle, I'm thanking you."
Maddox was silent for a moment.
Maddox came to his senses and said indifferently, "So?"
There was a slight surprise in Beanie's bead-like eyes. After a moment, he stated solemnly, "When others thank you, don't you have to say 'you're welcome'?"
Maddox laughed scornfully when he heard that. His tone was still as cold as ever.
"You're welcome?"
Beanie nodded and then walked towards him with his short legs. He stopped in front of him and waved at him.
Maddox stood there indifferently.
"Uncle, can you bend down?"
Maddox frowned and said unhappily, "What are you trying to do, little fellow?"
"Oh, I thought that the mask you are wearing is very special, so I want to examine it. Is that okay?" After that, Beanie immediately showed him a pleading look, looking very expectant.
For some reason, Maddox became agitated when he noticed the way Beanie was glancing at him. He chided coldly, "Speak properly and stand up straight!"
Beanie was shocked and his black eyes immediately flashed with horror.
