"Here you are, sir." Alan smiled as he hurried to greet Max who was staring at him.

He was in luck that he was quite near which was why he was able to run over almost immediately. One of his men had told him that he was going out to collect debts, but then he didn't expect the idiot to run into Max.

He had been so scared that he even forgot to ask about the location and just decided to go over alone. He made sure none of his men followed him.

Ever since Max had beaten him and his men up, he had begun to investigate Max, but then he found out that the latter was just a live Son-in-law which made him angry, and had wanted to attack Max again.

But then news of the destruction of the five families came out, and he was quite lucky that he got to know the real reason it had happened and who had also caused it.

Since then he had been in awe of the latter and had swore never to cross him. Even though Max had promised to come looking for him, he was quite relieved after hearing the news that M

    "Hey you, stop there!" A loud voice came just as Max was about to walk into the villa in front of him.He had already left his mother's palace after making sure to settle everything and now, he was at the Woods villa. But then, a voice stopped him."And who are you?" Max frowned as he turned to the guard who was standing at the door."Well then, how dare you ask me that? Don't you know where you are?" The man frowned as he looked at Max haughtily."Well, I don't know where I am, but I'll be delighted to know." "Well then, you're at the Woods family villa and you just want to barge in like that, it seems you are nuts." The man sneered."Ohh, I'm Sorry for intruding." Max chuckled."So now that you know where you are, get the fuck outta here." The man sneered."Well then I don't think that'll be possible, I still need to get in." Max sneered."How dare you?" The man growled."Hold your horses man, my feud with the Woods has nothing to do with you, I think it'll be better just to watch

    Jordan froze hearing the voice as he didn't know what to say. Even though he was the heir of the Woods family, he was still quite afraid of his strict grandfather. He would have gone to meet up with the young masters of the other families if not for the fact that he was suddenly called back.But then he didn't expect Max to come looking for him, how was he going to explain to his father and grandfather? Besides, the latter was just too arrogant and even barged into their home."Well then old man, there's no way I'll know a dimwit like him." Max chuckled as he broke the silence."Besides, I've come to warn your family, so it's up to you if you take it or leave it." Max continued.Jordan's mouth couldn't help but twitch violently hearing what Max said. It seemed like he was looking for death, but then what could he say? He could only watch as Max spouted his nonsense."Who the hell do you think you are?" The old man frowned as he spoke rather calmly."Well then, I'm quite amazed by your

    "It's been a long day," Max muttered to himself as he alighted from the plane while looking around.He had gone to the airport and headed back to North East as soon as he left the Woods. He was sure that the old man of the woods was going to take care of everything, so there was no need to stay any longer."Young Master, here you are." Albert's voice came just as Max was about to walk away."Albert, what are you doing here?" Max frowned as he looked at Albert.He didn't call Albert so he was quite surprised as to how the latter had known that he was coming that day."Well then young master, some of my men at the airport told me about your arrival, so I hurried over." Albert smiled.Max smiled bitterly as he nodded, he had forgotten that his family had a wide range of Networks so his movement was not a secret. Even though he could easily prevent it, he could care less about stuff like that so he wasn't too worried."Besides, it seems like Ethan has encountered some issues and requested

    Max furrowed his brows as he slowly approached the employees who were protesting. He could already see that there was a conspiracy going on, but then he wasn't interested in thinking too much about it."Sir, here you are." The executives smiled immediately when they saw Max. They couldn't help but feel relieved as they knew that their problems would be solved.Max had once dealt with them and they knew how ruthless his methods could be. All they hoped was that he was going to be quite Lenient on the workers and punish the real culprits and they were all also aware it was just a conspiracy."Would you all stop chanting and allow me to talk!" Max said in a rather loud voice."Huh?"The protesting employees froze subconsciously hearing Max's voice as they wondered who he was. They had seen him talking to Ethan, but then they had never expected him to come talk to them."Since you are all quiet, allow me to begin." Max smiled as he looked at the employees."Well then, I'm not the type who

    Huh?Everyone froze upon hearing what Max said and they couldn't help but be shocked. They just couldn't believe their ears as they allowed Max's words to process in their brain."Ethan, there's still more to do, stop standing like a statue and hurry up to carry out what I had just said." Max frowned as he looked at Ethan."Yes sir," Ethan replied as he came back to his senses and hurriedly proceeded to carry out what Max had just said.He hadn't expected the latter to use such an approach. Even though it was very cruel, or was still effective.The executives on the other hand were no better, even though they knew that what Max would do would be quite cruel, they did it except it to be this extreme.Well then, it seemed like they had underestimated Max once again, and it was a very fatal mistake. It was not their loss anyway, so there was no need for them to worry."And who the hell do you think you are to fire us?" The tall lanky man suddenly sneered and the other employees also foll

    The employees froze hearing what Max said as they couldn't believe their ears. Was he going to forgive them just like that?Even though they all wanted to rush toward the palace he pointed to, they felt reluctant to do so as the smile on Max's face was scary. They just couldn't understand what the latter was thinking.No matter how much they tried, they couldn't help themselves to think about anything. Their heads were all blank."Seems like none of you want to come back to the company and are quite serious with the protest." Max smiled as he looked at the Employees.Immediately, they came back to their senses as they looked at Max, all of them wanted to run over, but then they just couldn't. They weren't brave enough."Ethan, it seems as though none of them want to come back to work at the company. Ask the guards to come throw them out." Max smiled as he turned to Ethan who was already back from the errand he sent him."No sir, we are willing to come back." One of the employees yelled

    "What right do you think you have to call the police upon us?" The man frowned as he looked at Max."Well, there are many reasons, but then I don't think you deserve to know any of them." Max shrugged as he looked at Ethan."Alton young Master, I'll go carry out the task." Ethan smiled as he hurriedly brought out his phone."Do you think the police would listen to you?" The man sneered."Well, either they would listen to me or not, that's not the main issue here." Max shrugged."Let them come, and then we'll see if they will listen to me or not. It's just that simple."The man furrowed his brows as he stared at Max. He had never believed that the latter was going to call the police on him. Who the hell did he think he was? Well, then he wasn't afraid?The reason he had so much courage to talk to Max the way he liked was because he had a very strong figure backing him and he was sure that the figure would never allow him to go to prison no matter what so he wasn't scared in any way."W

    Max frowned hearing the voice as he wondered who the voice belonged to. The voice sounded familiar and the frown on his face couldn't help but deepen."Are you fucking deaf? I said, Leave me alone?" The voice came again and Max couldn't help but leave where he was to check out what was happening.But before he could leave, a figure was roughly shoved out of the company, and then out of the gate by the security men who were outside.Max frowned as his subconsciousness suddenly kicked in and he moved forward embracing the figure.He had already known who it was right from the time she was shoved out of the gate. It was his wife, Michelle."Excuse me." Michelle reacted almost immediately when she felt that she was in someone's arms and the person was rather reluctant to leave her. Besides, she could feel the person's anger which made her quite surprised.Though she appreciated the person for catching her right before she could fall to the floor, she was married for heaven's sake and she k

    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

    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." Albert's excited voice came just as Micheal was lost in his thoughts.Immediately, Micheal discarded his thoughts and stood up following Albert to Max's room.They had taken Max away from the hospital since he wasn't in any form of coma or anything.Walking into Max's room, Micheal smiled as he stood at the door looking at Max who had sat up with t

    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

    You'll Be Dead Anyway

    Watching the assassination Scene, Rebecca, David, and Victor couldn't help but smile. Finally, they were going to get rid of their nemesis. 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. There was no way he would be able to contact the Darkwood family. Even if he was able to, it would take too long before they arrived.According to her deduction, Max was surely going to die, there was no way out. He had to die even if he didn't want to.The assassin also stopped shooting after discovering that he couldn't see Max again. Knowing well that the latter had hidden inside the car, he decided to wait for five
