Max sighed as he got to the door of his father's room. If not for the Nightshade family scheme, then he wouldn't have been forced to introduce his wife to his father.

He still had some resentment in his heart toward his father and wasn't willing to introduce his wife to him. But then he had no other choice, if he wanted his wife to be safe, he had no other choice but to introduce her to him.

Besides, since she would be staying at the villa, it wouldn't be good if he didn't introduce her to his father.

Thinking about all these, he pushed all thoughts to the back of his mind and pushed open the door with Michelle following closely behind.

Micheal sighed as he looked up to see who had walked into his room and was quite surprised. Well, then he wasn't that surprised as Max was the only one who would dare barge into his room without knocking.

Huh?

Micheal froze seeing the figure following Max closely. Wasn't that his daughter-in-law? His son was finally willing to introduce his wife to him

    "What do you think the Darkwood family would do?" David frowned as he looked at his daughter.Rebecca sighed as she opened her eyes looking at her father. They had placed the Darkwood l family under a lot of pressure, but then her father was a bit uncomfortable.But then she couldn't blame him, Micheal was a scheming person and had a lot of tricks up his sleeves. What's more, his son was no better than him, and could even be said that he was even more scheming than him.Even she couldn't tell what Max would do in this situation.

    "Old man, I've been considering stealing back the company's core secrets from the Nightshade family?" Max sighed as he looked at Albert.There were dark circles under his eyes showing he didn't have a good night's sleep. He has stayed up almost all night contemplating the fact that he should break into the Nightshade family and steal back the secrets."Young Master, I don't think that's Feasible?" Albert shook his head as he looked at Max who was sitting on the chair and was playing with a pen."Though we have stabilized the situation at hand, I don't think it's the best thing to do." Albert shook his head as he continued."What if you are caught?""Well then, I did consider that which was exactly what had been stopping me. I will need to plan carefully to make sure that I'm not caught, or else, it'll be for naughts." Max nodded in agreement.Albert heaved a sigh of relief hearing what Max said. It looked like the Young Master too had considered the issue well and wasn't just going to

    "Alright, old man, you shouldn't get riled up on what I'm about to do." Max sighed as he looked at Albert.Albert sighed as he looked at Max without saying anything. He knew that whatever the Young master was planning was not good news and thus he had to know.Though he knew that he probably wouldn't be able to stop him and not talk him out of it, at least, he was going to incline what he wanted to do and he would be able to prepare in case anything went wrong.Max sighed as he looked at Albert, he could tell what the old man was thinking, but then he was not worried as he was sure that he would be able to pull it off."So, Young Master, you haven't said what you intended to do?" Albert said as he looked at Max hoping Max was going to say something."Alright old man." Max's mouth curled up into a grin.You'll be selecting some of your men who are adept at doing sleath things and also can carry heavy things.""What do you want to do with them?""Isn't it obvious, old man?" Max grinned a

    But then before nighttime, there were things he had to consider. First, how was he going to go about it?Second, what were his chances of not getting caught? Though Max was rather sure that his chances of getting caught were nil as no one would be expecting him to break into a police station.But then at the same time, he had to be careful. Rebbeca was a formidable opponent and if he wasn't careful, he was going to be busted.At the same time, he had to plan everything rather well, from how they were going to break into the Police station to how they were going to leave. He wasn't the only one who was going to be heading there, so he had planned everything carefully.Max sighed as he fell deep into his thoughts, first, he had to analyze the thoughts in his head, and then afterward, he was going to see what he was going to do about the situation.The Nightshade family was rather daring as what they did was rather too much.

    "Young Master, do you think this is the best?" Albert sighed as he looked at Max who was dressing up."Well, why are you scared old man?" Max grinned as he looked at Albert while wearing the black outfit he made Albert get for him."Young Master, what if you get caught? This is very dangerous, you have to think through it once again." Albert sighed as he looked at Max.He had been trying to convince the Young Master not to do what he was thinking. But the young master insisted and there was nothing he could do about it.He could only hope that he was going to be able to make him give up at the last minute even though he was quite sure that his efforts were futile.Besides he didn't dare to tell the master or Max's wife about his plan. He was sure that the Young Master was not going to listen to them, so there was no need to tell them."Relax, old man, I won't get caught." Max chuckled as he placed his hands on Albert's shoulder.Albert sighed as he looked at Max. He couldn't help but

    "When did this happen?" David asked calmly as he looked at the police officer who was in front of him."It happened last night, and it was clean and spotless." The policeman replied."I see," David muttered under his breath.Even though his voice was calm, his bloodshot eyes showed he was angry and his fists were clenched as though he was going to punch someone."You can leave, I'll send the money for the compensation over to you to give to the Darkwood family," David said after some time."Alright." The policeman nodded and left almost immediately.The Nightshade family had woken up to the news of the good of the Darkwood family cleared out of the police station.Someone had broken into the police station yesterday night and stole all the goods without leaving a trace. It was as though the good just disappeared on its own accord.No matter how the police looked, or the forensic experts they called, all of them were unable to discern anything which made them rather speechless.

    "Young Master, what do you think the Nightshade family would do?" Albert asked as he paced around the living room of the Villa looking at Max who had dark circles under his eyes."Well, I can't say to be exact." Max yawned as he stretched his body."But let's wait and see what trick they'll pull.""Aren't you afraid they'll launch another direct attack?" Albert sighed as he looked at Max with a face full of worry wondering why the young master was not worried."And why would I worry about that, all I want is to sleep." Max yawned again as he looked at Albert."Young Master," Albert called out feeling rather frustrated. But then against Max, there was nothing he could do."Alright old man, calm down." Max chuckled."The Nightshade family would be directly walking into my trap if they attacked back directly which was what I wanted in the first place anyway.""Besides, even if they are to attack, with the compensation they'll pay us which is roughly about a billion.

    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

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
