Tangled Fortunes: The Enigmatic Son-in-Law He's Just Like You
"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
Tangled Fortunes: The Enigmatic Son-in-Law Is There A Need To Congratulate Him
Immediately everyone turned towards the voice wondering who the hell had such courage to say such things in the banquet. Soon, the audience started to whisper to each other. It was obvious that they had recognized who the person was."Who's that?!""Shhhh... Don't ask questions like that! That's Andrew Watson, the heir of the Waston family!""So the Waston family are at the banquet?!""If they don't come, wouldn't that mean not giving face to the Edward family? Besides, the Parkers, Reeds, and the Greys are also present, so you have to watch your attitude later!""But, that young man must have snuck his way in!""Who cares, it's his rotten luck for him to have caught the attention of the Waston family!"Max's frown deepened as the conversation of the audience drifted into his ears. Even though he didn't seem to know the man in front of him, he could still vaguely guess the reason."Do I have any business with you?" Max frowned looking at the man in front of him."Don't you think he's t
Tangled Fortunes: The Enigmatic Son-in-Law Isn't It Obvious
"Huh!"A collective gasp could be heard from the crowd as they slowly turned to look at the source of the voice wondering who was so brave to say such a thing.Amby on the other hand who was on the stage was shocked. She just couldn't believe her ears, wasn't that the person she had just chatted with? Why did he have to speak up for her in such a dangerous situation?She firmly believed that Max would be unable to do anything as he was just too powerless. Any of the random guests in the palace could crush him with just a lift of their finger and yet he was so brave to speak.Each one of the guests' presents controlled nothing less than a hundred million. She must say that he was very brave, but then it was foolishness if she had known, she wouldn't have talked to him, she had to look for a way to help him.At one side of the banquet was seated Ethan with a smile on his face, he didn't understand what the young master of the Darkwood family was doing here. But then, come to think of it
Tangled Fortunes: The Enigmatic Son-in-Law Is Something Wrong With Your Brain
Crack!The sound of someone heavily hitting and breaking the tables and chairs resounded throughout the banquet.All the audience watched as the young master of the Edward family groaned in pain from the impact of the kick. None of them dared to move to help him as their brains were all blank.It wasn't as if they didn't want to help, but they didn't want to be involved in the conflict. They could feel that the insufferable arrogant young man had a quite strong backing or else, he wouldn't be so bold to act in such a way.Even if it was that way, they were sure that no matter how powerful he was, there was no way he would be able to win against the Edward family. They wanted to watch the show, but then they could only keep quiet and see what happens next."Ohh, there you are Ethan." Max's voice brought out the Audience from their thoughts."I didn't expect to meet you here, young master." Ethan smiled immediately and stood up from his seat in respect towards Max who was walking toward
Tangled Fortunes: The Enigmatic Son-in-Law This Conversation is Boring
At this time everyone in the audience was dumbfounded, even Ethan. Was no exception. He didn't expect the young master to be so good at angering people. It seemed like it was an innate talent of his.The audience on the other hand just couldn't understand the audacity behind Max's words. What the hell did he have that made him so arrogant? They just couldn't understand anymore.The old man on the other had a strange look on his face. He didn't know if he should be angry, or annoyed at the young man in front.At this moment, a strong murderous intent burst out from the men behind the old man. The strong intent was directed at Max."Better keep it down, your master didn't ask you to attack me yet." Max sneered, raising his head as he stared at the men. "But if you want to die, you can attack, I don't mind anyway."At this point, the anger of the men behind the old man had reached its peak as they glared at Max. They wanted to teach this brat a lesson. Who the hell did he think he was?"
Tangled Fortunes: The Enigmatic Son-in-Law The Jones Family
(The Next Day)"Mr. Darkwood, the situation is not quite good." Ethan sighed as he looked at Max who was sipping the coffee with a smile on his face."Have the five families made a move?" Max smiled as he asked. It was already within his expectations that the five families wouldn't want to keep the matter under wraps. They would never let him off."They've not made a move, but the Jones family is in trouble, all their business is going down, their stock rate is also plummeting each second, and even I am quite helpless and unable to help them for the time being." Ethan sighed as he carefully explained everything to Max. A smile appeared on Max's lips as he listened to Ethan, he knew this was going to happen, there was no way the Edward family were going to let off the Jones family. At the moment, the five families didn't do anything because they didn't know his identity.They were still quite hesitant to make a move at the moment, but it wouldn't be long before the patience would wear
Tangled Fortunes: The Enigmatic Son-in-Law Useless Bunch
"What the hell are you doing here?!" An old man whom Max vaguely recognized stood up and stared at him."Nothing much," Max chuckled as he could care less about the emotions of the family, "I just came to pick up my sister."The faces of all the other members of the family crumbled with displeasure. They had just been planning on offering Amby to the Edward family so that they would stop targeting them.Though they didn't know Max, they could vaguely understand that he was the one who had left their family in the mess they were in."And what's your business with our family?" The old man growled as he stared at Max.He didn't want to get too close to Max as there was a kind of lingering fear in his heart for Max. Despite the young man liking talking trash, his strength was not something he should underestimate.The young man beat up the guards of the Edward family yesterday which showed he was quite powerful so he needed to be careful not to get on the bad side of the young man.Beside
Tangled Fortunes: The Enigmatic Son-in-Law Destruction
"So tell me, do you want to go back to your family, or are you happy here?" Max smiled as he looked at Amby who was staring at him.Amby sighed and didn't say anything, she just turned her head away and stared out through the window.Max smiled but didn't say anything, he had brought Amby to Cisco and now they were in Ethan's office while Ethan was out trying to get some work done. Max didn't blame Amby for her actions as anyone would do the same.Breaking ties with one's family was not something that should be taken lightly, but then Max had done so, or rather, he had made it look that way. Well, since he was going to help the Jones family he could care less about it.He only wanted to make them realize that offering off their daughter wasn't the solution. They had to look for other Alternatives. "Why did you decide to help me?" Amby's voice came, bringing Max out of his thoughts.Max smiled as he looked at Amby, he knew how much the girl in front of him wanted to lash out at him, b

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

Shock
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

Max Is Dead
In no time, it was already two days since the Darkwood family announced Max's death. 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. They didn't even allow the police to investigate the matter, they decided to let it go.At the moment, in the Darkwood family, Micheal was sitting on the Sofa while watching TV. 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.
