"Mr. Darkwood, if I may ask, what is it that you want?" Henry forced a smile as he looked at Max who was sitting crossed legs and was sipping his tea.Along the way, he had tried asking Ethan what the young master wanted as Ethan had already told him Max's identity. But then the latter had refused to tell him anything saying Max was going to say it himself."I can sense that Mr. Henry is nervous." Max smiled after an unknown period.Henry could only force an awkward smile as he was surely nervous. What if what Max wanted was something he couldn't afford and he was unwilling to listen to any excuse?How was he going to deal with him? Even though Ethan had assured him that the young master wasn't an unreasonable person. He still refused to believe it."Don't worry Mr. Henry, I wouldn't force you to do what you don't want." Max's voice came, interrupting Henry's train of thought.Henry couldn't help but sigh in relief, even though he was still quite doubtful, he still couldn't help but b

"Here you are, Max." Michelle smiled immediately after Max approached her. She had just finished her work and was waiting for him so that they'll have a meal together.She was really happy that Max had gotten a job at such a prestigious company. Even though the company was not worth too much, at the very least, it was better than the work he was doing before.Now, she wouldn't have to face the ridicule of her mother and other family members which made her sigh in relief."So which restaurant are we going to?" Max smiled, staring at Michelle's beautiful face."That's kind of hard to say." Michelle frowned as she appeared to be deep in thought.She couldn't possibly take Max to a low-level restaurant nor could she go to a high-level one. She didn't have that kind of money, the salary her mother gave her was quite the lowest in the company.If not for the fact that she felt that she was going to starve to death, she wouldn't have given her anything. It all started three years ago when sh

"Max, what's wrong?" Michelle frowned, snapping out of her thoughts when she noticed Max's strange actions.But then she didn't get any reply from Max. It was as if he had been transported to another place as his eyes were fixed on a spot.Frowning, she looked at where he was staring only to see his bike crumpled up in a corner. In the place where the bike was supposed to be was a Mercedes Benz."Ahhh!"Michelle couldn't help but gasp using her hands to cover her mouth. What the hell was the person who had done this thinking?She couldn't help but feel angry towards the person. But then looking at the car in place of the bike, she knew whoever had done it wasn't to be messed with. The car was worth over a million."Max, where are you going?" Michelle frowned, pulling back Max who was about to walk forward."Going to ask for an explanation of course.""No, you can't." Michelle shook her head. At this moment, her heart was racing wildly, she knew Max rather too well. She was sure he was

(The Next Day)"I'm off to the office, the taxi I ordered is waiting for me outside." Michelle smiled as she rushed out of the house after bidding Max goodbye."Take care wifey," Max yelled at the disappearing figure of Michelle.He was still in high spirits, yesterday's night was quite a memorable night for him. Even though he didn't get to do anything, he was able to hug his wife to sleep. It felt quite good.Well, he was sure that in no time, Michelle was going to open up completely to him and the facades she put up would be gone. He could tell how much she loved him even though she always pretended she didn't.Pushing the thoughts to the back of his mind, he hurriedly finished his food. He still had some things to do so he couldn't stay at home all day long.In no time, he was done dressing up and was out of the house. But then there came a dilemma, he didn't know where to head first.Even though he had some business with Ethan, he didn't want to go now, he was quite sure Ethan wo

The young man frowned hearing the voice and turned to look around. Immediately, his gaze came in contact with Max who had his hands in his pocket and was walking towards him like he was taking a stroll at the pack.At the moment, he couldn't help but frown. Where the hell did this man come from, he was wearing such cheap clothes and yet he had the mind to say such a big word. It seems like the world had changed."Thanks for the help, you may leave, don't worry, no one would be able to do anything to you." Max waved his hands at the truck driver.Immediately, the driver started the truck and drove away before anyone could come back to their senses.The crowd was in awe as they didn't understand what was happening. But then they weren't fools, a poor guy was challenging a second-rich generation. Well, it was going to be a sight to behold.They couldn't wait to see how it was going to develop. Well, they could already guess the end. The poor guy would be suppressed by the rich guy and he
Tangled Fortunes: The Enigmatic Son-in-Law Calm Down Maxy
"Which type of car would you like to buy sir?" One of the sales girls smiled as she approached Max.All the sales girls had witnessed what happened earlier, so they were afraid of talking to him. It took a lot of courage from the sales girls who had approached him."Which kind of cars do you think would be best for a female?" Max frowned as he was in a dilemma.He hadn't considered which kind of car he was going to get for Michelle and had just walked into the store without thinking about it."We have Mercedes Benz and some other products, I'll show you around if you want." The sales girl replied while gulping down some Saliva.The pressure Max had on her was quite great and she felt her legs shaking. She could feel the gazes of the others on her while they attended to the other customers. She could tell that they were mocking her as it didn't seem like Max was going to get a car.If it was not because of what had happened outside just now, they would have already ridiculed him and or

"Just who are you?" Max sighed suppressing his anger as the lady in his front might be someone he knew."Since you don't remember me anymore, I wouldn't mind introducing myself once again." The lady smiled as she stared at Max."I'm Rebecca Johnson""Rebecca?"Max gasped upon hearing the name. He didn't expect to meet her here of all places. Back at the college, she was one of those who had always ridiculed him and told him that he wouldn't be able to make it in life.But since he didn't put them in his eyes, it was normal for him to forget about someone as insignificant as her. Well, he could be less bothered about her, besides, his life was much better than hers."So now, you know who I am." Rebecca's voice came pulling Max out of his thoughts."I didn't expect to meet you here out of all places." Mark smiled as he stared at her."You know I didn't expect you to be doing well yourself." Rebecca sneered as she stared at Max, the disdain in her way was rather evident."What are you do

"Sir, we've arrived at your destination." The driver smiled, turning around to look at Max who seemed deep in thought.It was already the evening of the next day and Max was headed to the Four Seasons hotel to have a meal as he was incredibly hungry right after running some errands for his wife.The car store had yet to deliver the car to his wife because he had asked them to make sure to complete all the processes before presenting it to her so it was going to take some days."Ooh," Max muttered as he was forcibly brought out of his thoughts by the driver, "Thanks, old man." He continued as alighted from the taxi before paying the man.Looking at the huge building right in front of him, a smile appeared on his face as he walked into the hotel."What a coincidence?" Max muttered under his breath just as he walked past the lobby.He could see that the parking lot of the hotel was full and there were still incoming cars. It was then Max remembered what Ethan told him some days ago."It

End
Just as Max and Michelle drove away from the jewelry store, two figures walked out of the alley just by the side.Thank you readers!One was an old man who had a white beard, the other was a young man with handsome features. Both had a kind of aura that made the people around them automatically ignore them."Master, aren't you going to meet him?" The young man asked as he looked at the old man curiously."Jackson, Max is far better off living an ordinary life, there's no need for us to pull him into our chaotic lives." The old man shook his head as he walked away from the place."But master, you said he's a once-in-a-century genius, I'm sure he'll appreciate it," Jackson asked, not wanting to give up.The old man sighed and shook his head looking at the young man, sighing he looked away. After a moment of silence, he said."I know I said that, but that was his mother's wish. He's far better off living as a rich young master.""But he's talented, we've been around for the past few mont

Proposal
"Who wanted to see me?" An arrogant voice came after about five minutes just as the sales girl went to call the manager.Thank you readers!"It's me." Max frowned as he looked at the Manager.Immediately the manager saw Max, his body trembled with fear, what the hell was this devil doing here?Others might not know, but he knew rather too well, that Max was the one who brought down the Nightshade family. Though he didn't know much about the details, the little he knew made him shiver and it was as though he was going to pee in his pants."Come over." Max waved his hands as he said."I'm sorry, Mr. Darkwood, I didn't know you were the one." The Manager immediately ran over as he greeted Max.The expression of the onlookers changed as they watched the scene. Seems like a plot twist was about to happen. Even though the Manager was respectful to Max, they could tell that he wouldn't be so crazy to the point where he would just give him the Fiery Ruby ring for free.It was impossible, if i

In a flash, two months had passed, and Amby and Ana, Max's foster mother had long returned to Atlanta.Thank you readers!At the moment, it was only the four people inside the Villa, coupled with the maids and others."Old man, we'll be going now." Max smiled as he looked at Albert."Alright take care." Albert nodded as he looked at Max and Michelle who were going out.Max smiled as he walked out of the Villa with Michelle, getting out of the Villa, they entered the car and drove out. This time, it was Max who was driving."Where are we headed?" Michelle sighed as he looked at Max.She wondered why the latter had told her to get dressed and that he was going to take her out today."You'll see." Max smiled as he stepped even harder on the accelerator of the car and it shot forward going faster than before.In no time, ten minutes passed, and Max pulled up in front of a jewelry shop. But then at that moment, there were roses all over the Jewelry shop, the red roses were laid in such a w

Verdict
"Having reviewed all evidence presented and heard the arguments from both sides, the court finds that all necessary matters in this case have been sufficiently addressed." The Judge frowned as he read out slowly.Thank you readers!"I hereby sentence David Nightshade to a death sentence by hanging for the murder of seven doctors and their families. And Rebecca Nightshade to life imprisonment and hard labor for attempted murder.""And as for the assassin, he's also sentenced to death by hanging for the murder of seven doctors and their families." The judge passed his verdict as he hit his gavel on the table.Immediately after the judge passed his verdict, the policemen who were stationed in the court immediately moved forward, apprehended the criminals, and escorted them out of the courtroom."Ladies and gentlemen, please rise. The Honorable Judge Smith is now exiting the courtroom. The court is now dismissed." The bailiff said as he stood up.Immediately, everyone in the courtroom sto

The next day, Michelle smiled as she helped Max wear his clothes. Since one of his arms was broken, he needed someone to help him do things.Thank you, readers!"Alright, I'll also go and dress up, we should go early to the Court." Michelle smiled as she kissed Max's cheeks before walking out of the room."Young Master, shall we go?" Albert smiled as he walked into the room.He was in a good mood, as he couldn't wait to see the expression on the Nightshade family's face."Since we are going to be in the limelight today, let's delay our going a little bit." Max grinned."Besides, where's the assassin?" Max asked."We'll be taking him along with us to the court, he has a lot of testimony to do." Albert smiled."Is my mother and Amby going?""Yeah, they said they wanted to go," Albert replied."Alright, allow me to take something." Max turned around as he walked towards the drawer.Pushing it open, he fumbled around the drawer for about a minute or two before retrieving a flash drive.Af

They had been silent and didn't do or say anything.As for the consideration that the Young Master was murdered, they directly threw it out of the window.

It had been two days since Max had gone unconscious and yet, he was not awake.Dr. Nicholas had assured him that Max was just tired as such his body was taking this chance to fully recover."Master, the young master has woken up."

Is The Assassination Successful
"Aren't you supposed to be unable to move?" The assassin frowned as he looked at Max who had stood up."That's a question you should ask Hades." Max grinned and punched the assassin's abdomen, at the same time, he raised his good leg and kicked his groin.The assassin couldn't care less about the pain in his body and still tried to escape, but it was too late, he was already surrounded by the men Albert brought along with him.They rushed out of the car as soon as they could and immediately stopped. Nothing could happen to the Young Master."Young Master." Albert cried as he rushed towards Max.Looking at the state Max was, he could see that he was battered, and even his bones were broken.Thankfully, he had thought about this and had invited Dr. Nicholas to go with them. Besides, there was a lot of equipment that could be used to treat Max inside the car."Mr. Albert, I'm afraid we'll have to rush the young master to the hospital for proper treatment. He's poisoned." Dr. Nicholas fro

It's Too Late
The assassin groaned in pain as he was not expecting Max's move. But being a professional, he knew he couldn't allow the latter to gain the upper hand by picking up the gun, it would be game over.Immediately, he kicked the gun with all his strength sending it into the fire burning not far from them. His kick was quite powerful, and that was what ended up happening.Max frowned seeing this, though he wasn't expecting this, he knew he could hold out until Albert and the others would arrive.Without a care in the world, he punched the assassin again, the latter groaned in pain as he moved back.But at the moment, the dirt in the assassin's eyes had already been cleared, now his eyesight had been restored."I didn't expect you to be this sharp." The man grinned as he pulled out a pocket knife.Max frowned seeing this, he knew he couldn't allow the other party to touch him with the knife as he didn't know if it was poisoned or not."Well,. it's just as you've guessed, the knife is poisono

As long as Max would get killed that night, they were sure that they would be able to win the fight.As for what the Darkwood family would do, they couldn't care less about that. There was no evidence whatsoever, besides, they had planned it rather carefully, it wouldn't be a surprise if no one was able to find a loophole in their action.Looking back at the screen, they watched as Max hid in the backseat of the car while shivering.
