Maximus Crownguard hails from an unknown origin shrouded in mystery, known to be of humble beginnings as the son-in-law of a second-rate family. "Ma, where is Alexa?" he asked as he walked into the living room. The woman glared at Max and replied sharply, "Where else do you think my daughter would go other than work?" ------ Feeling a strange sense of foreboding, he nervously opened the message, but all it said was, "[Help]." He looked at his mother-in-law and coldly said, "Ma, where is Alexa?" as he exuded a deadly aura. The old woman didn't know why she felt a sense of danger when she saw the cold look in Maximus' eyes, so she blurted out without realizing, "She's at Chable Star Entertainment, she signed a contract with Mr. Chen." ------ "Who are you?!" Mr. Chen screamed in fear. The man turned and walked slowly towards Mr. Chen, saying, "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is I will end your evil deeds." Mr. Chen's eyes widened as he saw the man's cold face and felt as if he was facing the God of Death. Suddenly, he felt excruciating pain in his right hand, realizing the man had crushed it. ------ "No problem, Mr. Crownguard. But which company are you planning to acquire?" the man inquired again. With a joyous smile, Max replied smoothly, "I want to acquire Chable Star Entertainment."

He politely said with a sinister grin.The woman took a deep breath and hesitantly reached for the glass of wine. "Okay," she said as she took a sip from the glass of red wine.Mr. Chen cheerfully watched the woman enjoy her drink of red wine, then clapped his hands in delight. "Excellent, excellent," he said while glancing at his Rolex."Mr. Chen, I've finished the glass, maybe we can discuss the contract now." Before the woman could finish her sentence, she felt dizzy and weak. She saw Mr.

Whispers spread like wildfire across the ballroom. Some guests exchanged incredulous glances, questioning whether the man standing before them was truly the mysterious chairman. Others furrowed their brows, murmuring about how secretive this supposed leader had been until now.Then, breaking the tension, a man approached the standing figure, offering a polite smile. "Chairman, it's an honor to finally meet you," he said, introducing himself as a representative from a prominent tech company. With a respectful bow, he extended his business card.Before the crowd could react further, another guest boldly voiced the question on everyone's mind. "Are you really the mysterious chairman?"The man scratched the back of his head, looking slightly embarrassed. "Huh? Me?" He let out a small, awkward chuckle. "No, no. I just work here. I was fixing some wires at the hotel earlier, but when the lights suddenly went out, I sat here for a bit. Now that the event's started, I should be heading out—my

With no other choice, Bubbles and her group reluctantly returned to their seats. They knew better than to cause a scene now that the event was about to begin. Before turning away, Bubbles shot Max a sharp glare, pointing a finger at him. "This isn't over until you apologize," she huffed, stomping back to her seat with a pout. Eugine and Daniel followed her, their expressions mixed with irritation and curiosity.As the crowd settled down, a distinguished-looking man confidently walked onto the stage. He was tall, well-groomed, and carried himself with the poise of a seasoned professional. Dressed in an impeccably tailored suit, his presence commanded attention. His name was Theodore Wright, a renowned host in high-profile elite gatherings.With a charming yet authoritative smile, he took center stage and spoke into the microphone."Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed guests from the most distinguished families and business empires, welcome to this grand evening."

Alexa smiled calmly before speaking. "How could Max have done it on purpose when we were in the middle of a conversation?" She then turned to Bubbles, her gaze sharp but amused. "Are you saying my husband has eyes on the back of his head?"Bubbles fell silent for a moment, caught off guard, but quickly regained her composure. "He still did it on purpose!" she insisted. "Max knew Daniel was passing by and deliberately stretched to spill the wine!"Then, with a sneer, she added, "Ms. Alexa, you don't belong with someone like Max. Your beauty and status don't match with a piece of trash like him."At that moment, Eugine stood from his seat and walked toward the scene, his voice dripping with arrogance. "Bubbles is right, Ms. Alexa." He straightened his expensive designer suit, making sure everyone was watching him. "A woman of your caliber—someone with an outstanding background, grace, and influence—should not be with someone like Max, a man with no real lineage or worth."Alexa's lips c

Daniel smirked, swirling the red wine in his glass as he walked toward Max's group. His movements were slow, deliberate—his eyes casually scanning left and right, as if he owned the place.At the table, Eugine's grin widened in anticipation, while Bubbles, barely containing her excitement, let out a small chuckle."Someone's about to get drenched in wine," she whispered.Alfred, on the other hand, sighed, keeping his gaze fixed on Daniel. Something felt off.As Daniel finally reached Max's back, his smirk deepened. He raised the glass, prepared to tip the wine over Max's head—PAK!Max casually scratched his head, his elbow knocking Daniel's arm at just the right moment. The glass slipped, and the entire drink spilled onto Daniel's own suit."Agh! My designer suit!" Daniel shouted in shock.At the table, Bubbles gasped, covering her mouth in disbelief. Eugine's smirk froze, while Alfred simply remained expressionless.All eyes turned toward the commotion. Max slowly turned around, bli

Caleb's eyes fluttered open, his vision adjusting to the unfamiliar ceiling above him. The memory of Max's punch hit him like a thunderclap. His eyes widened in shock."Damn it!" he gasped, suddenly bolting upright—CRACK.A sharp pain shot through his lower back, making him yelp. "Agh! My back!" He clutched his waist, his face contorted in agony.It was then that he realized something even worse. His once-powerful, youthful body… was gone. He was back to his true, aged self. Not only that, but his strength was completely drained, leaving him as weak as an ordinary human.Caleb's confusion deepened when he noticed the bright, refined surroundings. His palace was nowhere in sight. His brows knitted together as he scanned the room, his mind racing.Then, his gaze landed on Max.Sitting calmly at a tea table, sipping from an elegant cup, Max smirked at him."Yo."A chill ran down Caleb's spine. He clenched his fists, his nostrils flaring as he pointed at Max."YOU—!"Before he could fini

As their fists remained locked, Caleb laughed, dark energy pulsating from his body like tendrils of smoke."Is this really your full power, Maximus?" he taunted. "You feel weaker than usual. Did you skip lunch or something?"Max smirked, unfazed. "How could I eat lunch, Caleb? You decided to cause chaos in Pampanga first thing in the morning."Caleb chuckled. "Ah, my bad. I forgot you had cooking duties."Max sighed dramatically. "See? This is all your fault. And for that, I'll make sure you serve me once this is over."Before Caleb could respond, they both vanished, their figures flickering like lightning.BOOM!They reappeared mid-air, their fists colliding once more, sending out shockwaves of golden and black energy. The force shattered nearby stone pillars, and the ground beneath them cracked from the sheer intensity of their clash.CRACK!

Caleb laughed with pride, his voice echoing off the dark chamber's walls. "Magnificent, isn't it?" He spread his arms wide, as if presenting his greatest masterpiece. "I've been working on this little experiment for years. It doesn't even have a proper name yet, and you—" His grin stretched wider, eyes gleaming with cruel excitement. "You, Maximus, will be the first to witness its power firsthand."Max's expression darkened, his jaw tightening. "Tch. You really have a habit of pissing me off, Caleb."Before he could say anything more—"Attack!"Caleb's voice boomed like thunder, and without hesitation, Alexa lunged.She moved like a phantom—fast, precise, and merciless. There was no hesitation in her strike, no warmth in her usually expressive eyes. They were empty, void of life.Max's instincts screamed at him to block, to counter, to fight back—but he couldn't. Instead, he sidestepped just in time, feeling the sharp gust of wind as Alexa's fist barely missed his face."Tch." His eye

The elder's eyes narrowed, his expression darkening as he finally unleashed his full power. His aura flared violently, black energy swirling around him like a raging storm."You're too arrogant," he spat, his sharp gaze fixed on Max, who was calmly walking toward him, completely unbothered."Since you dared step into this place, I'll make sure you never leave alive."Max sighed lightly, as if already growing bored.Before the elder could react, Max vanished.His eyes widened in alarm.A split second later—THUD!A devastating force sank into his stomach. His breath caught in his throat, his body frozen in disbelief. Blood burst from his mouth as he stumbled back, his knees buckling.Pain flooded his entire being. He didn't even see the attack.He tried to move, but his body refused to respond. Then, it hit him—his core was shattered.His cultivation… was completely destroyed.With just one punch.His mind spiraled into chaos. 'How? How could this be possible?'But Max had already lost
