"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
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
"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
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
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?"
(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
"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
"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
