Mike couldn't figure out who had taken the materials!
Frustrated and furious, he decided to pin the blame on Maxen.
Maxen: ???
"Isn't this just bullying an honest man?!"
Maxen downed a large gulp of alcohol, his indignation spilling over as he gestured wildly.
Of course, he didn't dare say such things in front of Thor.
But behind Thor's back? Oh, Maxen had plenty to say—and he wasn't shy about it!
At the moment, Maxen was in Wolf's Den, taking a break to drink with Light Nine while venting about Shepherd.
Light Nine was an excellent listener—he rarely spoke, only listened.
Even better, after listening, Light Nine would report everything back to Master Dream.
And Master Dream just so happened to be Maxen's Godfather—or so Maxen believed.
Poor Maxen still thought Master Dream was Morpheus.
With Maxen's permission, his complaints were relayed verbatim to Mike.
