2024-08-14 18:21:52"Who shamelessly ruined my good deeds?" Mr. Chen shouted as he returned to his senses.
"Guards, bring him down!" But Mr. Chen was taken aback as he noticed all of his guards lying on the floor. In the next moment, his vision blurred, and a man appeared suddenly before him. Within moments, he found himself flying and felt a sharp pain in his chest as he was kicked hard by a man whose origin he did not know. Mr. Chen fell to the ground heavily, coughing up a mouthful of blood. "Who are you? What are you doing?" Mr. Chen screamed in fear, crawling backwards. The man did not answer but checked on Alexa, holding her pulse and realizing she had just passed out from a fierce battle with drugs. He breathed a sigh of relief knowing he arrived in time, he smiled, and whispered, 'Just rest; I'll take care of everything.' He then took off his clothes and covered Alexa, revealing his muscular body. Mr. Chen, feeling intense fear, swallowed hard, noticing the man's hidden strength. "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. "Ah!" Mr. Chen screamed in pain. Not content, the man stepped on his left hand, saying coldly, "These two dirty hands must be cut off as payment for touching my wife." Mr. Chen rolled in agony, begging, "Boss, have mercy, please don't hurt me. I made a mistake; I don't know whom I harmed." He pleaded, losing control from the drug's influence. The man grinned coldly and asked indifferently, "Mercy? Did you show mercy when you raped the innocent women you victimized?" "Did you show mercy to the families of those who committed suicide because of you?" "Did you show mercy to those you took advantage of just because of your power?" "Now I will make sure you would rather die than live in this world." Mr. Chen was consumed with extreme fear, and a foul liquid trickled down his pants as he lost consciousness, unable to bear the pressure and frightening aura exuded by the man. The man clenched his fist before taking out his phone and making a call. After a few minutes, police entered the scene and cleared the area, also taking Mr. Chen and putting him in the car. The head of security approached cautiously and asked, "Are you Mr. Crownguard?" Max nodded nonchalantly, the police chief feeling the intimidating aura from the man and trembling as he reported, "Sir, we will take care of this person. We will ensure that he pays for all the crimes he has committed." "Make it hard for him in prison, make sure he would rather die than continue living in this world. Watch him closely, make sure he does not die." "Give him the 7 rules of hell." The police chief shivered upon hearing this. 'These are the punishments given to enemies captured during wartime,' he whispered to himself. "Yes, sir!" was the chief's assured response. The man in front of him was no ordinary person, as stated by his superior. He was instructed to comply with all the man's orders and be cautious of his actions. Initially, he thought the man might come from a wealthy family, but upon hearing the 7 rules of hell, he realized that the man's background was not simple. He deduced that only someone with high military rank could enforce such a code. Following the orders of his superior to obey everything the man said, he guessed that the man in front of him must have had a high military position in the past. However, he could not fully grasp this due to the man's youthful appearance. Max carried Alexa and left the scene, taking her to the hospital to rid her body of the remaining drugs. After a few minutes, Alexa's parents arrived at the hospital. Upon entering, Max's mother-in-law immediately berated Max, "You worthless son-in-law, if anything happens to my daughter, I will never forgive you!" "Alexa is just resting, she's fine now," Max replied softly. Her mother-in-law glared at him and said, "I really don't know what my dad was thinking when he chose trash like you to be our son-in-law." "If you had a decent job, maybe Alexa wouldn't have gone to Chable Star to get a contract." "This wouldn't have happened to her," her mother-in-law shouted furiously. "Alicia, even if Max had a job, you might forget that Alexa's dream is to star in the show that Chable Star is producing, so she kept the contract from Max," answered Blaine Collins, Alexa's father. Alicia felt embarrassed but still insisted that it was Max's fault for what happened to Alexa. "What show, Dad? The Hollywood film?" Max curiously asked. "You're right. Alexa has wanted to star in a Hollywood film for a long time, so she submitted her clip to Chable Star, but who would have known that the shameless Mr. Chen really lives up to his shameful reputation?" Blaine angrily replied. Max nodded and left the ward, excusing himself to buy some fruits for Alexa. Before he could step out, his mother added a quick sermon. Max, accustomed to his mother-in-law's ways, left the hospital with his phone in hand and revisited the information from Chable Star Entertainment. 'Chable Star seems to be drowning in debt, yet they appear respectable to outsiders,' he murmured as he read through the details. Chable Star Entertainment was once a leading entertainment company in the city of San Fernando. However, over time, it found itself buried in debt due to the owner's serious illness and lack of oversight within the company. This negligence allowed Mr. Chen to wreak havoc, potentially leading to the closure of Chable Star. It could be auctioned off anytime soon if such mismanagement persisted, halting production altogether. Finally, Max finalized his plan and dialed a number, receiving a prompt answer. "Mr. Crownguard, what are your orders?" a respectful voice came from the other end. "Leon, prepare to appoint someone capable of leading," Max promptly responded. "What kind of leadership?" the other party inquired. "Someone who can handle talents or artists and has experience in the entertainment industry," Max answered again. "Mr. Crownguard, are you considering starting an entertainment industry?" came the curious question. "I plan to acquire a struggling company," Max calmly revealed. The man pondered for a moment before replying, "No problem, I know someone with the skills to develop the struggling company." Max smiled and cheerfully said, "That's good to hear. In that case, help me acquire this company and arrange a contract for my wife as soon as possible." "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."

Alexa lifted her head, guilt evident in her eyes. Max felt a strange sensation in Alexa's gaze, so he just sighed and remained silent."Oh, by the way, what happened to that shameless Mr. Chen?" Alexa asked angrily as she recalled."Are you okay? Did he hurt you? What hurts?" Alexa asked in quick succession, concerned that Mr. Chen might have done something to his husband.Max smiled and gently said, "Love, calm down, I'm okay. When I arrived, I was with

When Max arrived home at seven in the evening, he saw his wife dressed beautifully as if she was about to go somewhere, "Where are you off to, dear?" Max asked."Our high school class monitor messaged me, we have a reunion at the Phoenix Grand Hotel," Alexa replied as she approached Max.'The Phoenix Grand Hotel? As far as I know, it's under the Crownguard Group,' Max thought.Seeing the items Max was carrying, Alexa, curious, asked, "Honey, what's that?"Max smiled and said, "I didn't give you much when we got married," then he took out the Swan Pearl bag and handed it to his wife.Alex's eyes lit up with joy as she looked at the beautiful bag her husband handed her, feeling warmth in her heart, she hugged Max and thanked him, "Thank you, my love.""Hey, my good son-in-law, you even know the right time to come home," Alicia, his mother-in-law, shouted before scolding Max.

Danica laughed before glaring at Max and angrily said, "Fake? You, who looks like a security guard, if this is fake, are you saying that your wife's bag is real? Then pointed to Alexa."Max just shrugged and said nothing. There was no need for Max to explain himself as he was the one who purchased the original bag.Seeing Max quiet demeanor, Danica thought that the bag held by Alexa was indeed fake. Irritated, she pointed at Max and said, "If you can't prove what you're saying, perhaps you should just stay quiet?" She widened her eyes before continuing in a frustrated tone, "You stinky security guard!""My bag may be an imitation, but it seems to be better made than yours," Alexa calmly remarked as she compared the two bags.Danica chuckled with irritation, saying, "You're the one who said that the bag you're carrying is an imitation. How did your bag end up better than mine?" With a smug grin, she said as she raised the bag in front of Alexa.Alexa remained silent, shrugging indiffer

The scene with Danica trying to win over Ramil could also be observed.As soon as the group entered, a man dressed in a red Armani suit approached and greeted them, "Class monitor, you still look beautiful as ever." The man then glanced up and down at Shantal with a sly look before continuing, "Not only beautiful, but your body has also become more sexier," as he licked his lips and looked at Shantal's chest."You're flattering me too much, young master White," Shantal calmly replied, seemingly accustomed to the man's behavior.The group began to walk inside, but as they took a step, the man blocked their path. "Oops, class monitor, you may enter and sit down, but I haven't seen these two beauties for a long time," he said, looking at Alexa and Vivian with desire."Robert White, is this a class reunion or a club that allows you to block the girls you like?" Vivian coldly responded."Your tem

The room fell silent, with everyone still tense from Blake's earlier words. The elderly man looked around at their expressions and suddenly chuckled, his laughter echoing in the stillness. "Why do you all look so nervous?" he asked, his tone teasing. "Am I so scary now?"The tension broke momentarily, replaced by a few awkward smiles, but Blake waved them off as he adjusted himself in his chair. "Relax, all of you. I'm an old man now, and all I want is to live the rest of my life in peace."He turned his gaze to Alexa and Max, his smile softening. "And it seems like you two are doing well together," he said warmly.Alexa smiled back and spoke, her voice filled with gratitude. "Thank you, Grandpa. Honestly, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have met Max."Max nodded in agreement and added, "You've given me a gift I'll always cherish. Thank you, sir."Blake laughed heartily, clearly pleased. "Good, good," he said, but before he could continue, Lily interrupted, her voice sharp and laced
Blake Collins
A few moments later, more members of the Collins family entered the conference room, taking their seats at the long table. Among them were Leo Collins, Anderson's son, and Lily Collins, Darwin's daughter. The two younger members of the family sat beside Anderson, their expressions mirroring the smug confidence of their fathers.Anderson glanced at his watch before turning to Leo. "Where is Dad?"Leo responded politely, "He's on his way down, Dad." Then, his eyes swept across the room, and he asked, "Uncle Blaine isn't here yet?"Darwin smirked, leaning back in his chair. "Of course not. VIPs are always late, aren't they?"Leo chuckled, his tone laced with sarcasm. "I suppose so." Then, with a sly grin, he added, "I saw online that Alexa's ratings are soaring. She's trending again."Lily rolled her eyes dramatically. "Well, good for her, I guess. That just means her worthless husband gets to live in luxury. Alexa's money, his comfort. Must be nice."Leo laughed, his voice dripping with
Death Sentence
Max noticed Alexa's hesitation and asked gently, "What's going on?"Alexa sighed, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. "Uncle called to say Grandpa's calling for a family gathering. He said it's important. They tried calling Dad, but he wasn't answering, so Uncle called me instead."Max nodded and stood. "Alright, let's go."Alexa nodded as well and got up to prepare herself. After a few minutes, she emerged from their bedroom wearing an elegant silver dress, paired with a designer silver handbag. Her hair was tied neatly in a bun, exuding sophistication. Max stepped out shortly after, dressed in his usual casual and simple attire.Alexa smiled, knowing full well that her husband preferred to stay lowkey despite his status. They opted to use Alexa's car, as Max's vehicle tended to draw too much attention. Max took the driver's seat, and before starting the car, Alexa said, "Let's stop by our old house first to pick up Dad and Mom."Max nodded and started driving.Upon arriving at
Uncle?
A few days had passed since the kidnapping incident. It was Sunday, a day of rest, and Max and Alexa sat in their luxurious villa, enjoying breakfast together. Max took a sip of his coffee and asked, "How's work going for you as an actress?"Alexa smiled as she placed a slice of toast on her plate. "It's going well. My ratings and popularity keep climbing," she said cheerfully. "I've achieved most of my dreams, so maybe after this upcoming movie, I'll aim to be an ambassador or focus on something more meaningful."Max nodded approvingly. "That's good to hear. It suits you."Alexa tilted her head thoughtfully, and a memory sparked in her mind. She set down her fork and looked at Max with curiosity. "Wait... Chable Star is under the Crownguard Group, right?"Max glanced at her with a knowing smile but said nothing.Her eyes widened. "So, it was you all along! I remember getting that email about the project offer, and now it makes sense why you were so confident I'd get the role. You're
Dark Hood Organization
Max let out a deep sigh before nodding quietly. Alexa's face was a mix of shock and disbelief. She took a step back, her voice trembling as she asked, "Why… why did you hide this from me?"Max looked into her eyes, his tone calm but heavy with regret. "I just wanted to live a peaceful life, Alexa. I never intended to deceive you or hide anything from you," he said. "You know this marriage was arranged by your grandfather."At that, Alexa's expression hardened. She interrupted, "Then why didn't you refuse? Our family is just second-class compared to someone like you. You're… you're someone so much greater."Max sighed again, his gaze softening as he explained, "Your grandfather helped me in the past. He showed me kindness when no one else did. Marrying you was my way of repaying that debt.""That's not enough," Alexa said, shaking her head. Her voice was firm, tinged with frustration. "There has to be more. Is there another reason you kept all of this from me?"Max opened his mouth to
Who are you?
The leader's voice shook as he raised his weapon and barked at Max, "Don't come any closer!"Max didn't even flinch, taking another deliberate step forward. The leader's breath hitched, his body trembling as he realized that even in his strongest state, he couldn't hope to defeat Max. His mind raced, desperate for a plan.Then his eyes darted to Alexa, who was still frozen in shock, her gaze fixed on Max. Thoughts swirled in her mind: Could it have been Max all along? The one who saved me from Mr. Chen and every danger I've faced?Her thoughts were interrupted by a cold, metallic sensation against her temple.The leader had moved with desperation, grabbing Alexa and pressing a gun to her head. His face was pale but defiant as he stared at Max. "Don't move! If you take another step, I'll kill her!"Alexa stiffened in terror, her heart pounding as the cold metal dug into her skin.Max's face darkened, his eyes narrowing. His voice dropped to a low, menacing tone. "You've made the worst
How should I play with you?
His hand fell lifelessly to the ground as his body went still, the life draining from his eyes.Nathan swallowed hard, his hands trembling as he barked out commands to his men. "Move! Now!" he shouted, his voice wavering.The mercenaries immediately raised their weapons, their faces now grim with tension as they took aim at Max. The room filled with an oppressive silence as Max scanned the area calmly, his piercing gaze finally landing on Nathan. Letting out a slow, measured breath, Max's expression turned icy.His eyes shifted to Alexa, who sat tied to the chair with a faint, hopeful smile despite the worry etched on her face. "Max," she whispered, her voice trembling. She didn't know what to say, overwhelmed by relief and fear. The sight of Max's calm demeanor against the dozen guns aimed at him made her heart race. She flinched when her cheek stung, a reminder of the slap she had endured.Max's gaze fell to the faint mark on Alexa's face, and his blood boiled. His jaw tightened as
I've Killed So-Called Immortals
Crownguard Group RooftopThe evening sky above Pampanga was clear, the faint hum of the city below contrasting with the tension that filled the rooftop. Leon stood with his arms crossed, his sharp gaze fixed on the horizon. Beside him, Alice furiously typed on her laptop, her eyes darting across multiple screens. Robert stood nearby, his posture stiff and his face etched with worry as they awaited Max's arrival.Leon broke the silence, his voice steady but laced with concern. "Robert, what exactly happened?"Robert straightened, speaking with a respectful tone. "President Leon, one of my men was assigned to guard Ms. Alexa when they were ambushed by martial artists. My men did their best, but they aren't full practitioners—they've only been trained in basic techniques Master Max taught them. They were outmatched."Leon nodded, digesting the information. His gaze shifted to Alice. "Alice, have you managed to trace Lady Alexa's location yet?"Alice didn't look up from her laptop, her fi
Weakling Hiding Behind Women
After the call, Max slipped his phone back into his pocket. The elder Altamirano approached him and asked, "Is something wrong?"Max nodded slightly. "I need to return to Pampanga immediately. There's an issue involving my wife."Without missing a beat, he turned to Cris and instructed, "Prepare a vehicle." Cris responded respectfully, but before he could leave, the elder Altamirano interrupted, "No need. I have a private jet you can use to get back to Pampanga quickly."Max didn't hesitate and accepted the offer with gratitude. The elder then ordered Job to escort Max and Cris to the jet, ensuring their swift departure. Job nodded respectfully and led the way, guiding Max and Cris out of the villa.The group boarded a golf cart and drove through a vast expanse of land behind the villa. Eventually, they reached a sleek private jet parked on a runway. The jet gleamed under the sunlight, a state-of-the-art Gulfstream G700, with a sleek silver-and-blue exterior, large windows, and engine
