When Max spoke, a smile froze on Tom's face. This wasn't the outcome he had hoped for. Alexa and Alicia were equally surprised to hear Max speak. It was unexpected for them. Max casually spoke in Italian while mentioning the dishes on the menu, "My dear, what do you want? Would you like pasta or meat?" Max asked before smiling.

Alexa regained her composure before smiling and replied, "Whatever you think is delicious."

"Alright, try this Chicken Scarpariello, Italian Wedding Risotto, Florentine Butter Chicken, and then Spaghetti," Max said with a smile.

Alexa nodded, not expecting Max to really read the menu. Tom was annoyed to see that Max had ordered smoothly and seemed like a regular at the place.

"Brother, Aunt Alicia said you work at your friend's company. I just want to know what you do at your friend's company?" Tom asked.

Max thought for a moment, "It's simple, I just do various things at the company."

"Like cleaning the restroom, taking out the trash, and sweeping the floor?"

    Bang!Before Tom could approach Alexa, the door was forcefully kicked."Who?!" Alicia shouted before turning to the door.Tom also turned and saw a familiar face, grinning. "Now that Alexa is asleep, I don't need to pretend anymore," he arrogantly said."Max! What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be working?" Alicia was annoyed at Max's sudden arrival.Max looked coldly at Alicia, "I respect you because you are my wife's mother. I never thought you would be so shameless as to sell him to someone else!"Half an hour had passed, Alexa had texted Max that she would be coming home early, so Max hurried home to accompany Alexa before she left the country. However, he did not expect to encounter such a scene. Before entering, he heard Tom's voice and realized something was wrong, so he quickly entered and kicked the door."What can a trash like you do in front of me? If I want to dominate your wife, can you do anything in front of me?" Tom arrogantly said. "Max, leave here if you

    In a luxurious hotel where a charity auction organized by Gonzales was being held, various wealthy individuals could be seen attending from within and outside the city. They heard about the rare medicine being auctioned off at this event. Most of these wealthy individuals were elderly and had illnesses; they wanted to try to obtain the Divine Pill to test their luck."Son, do you see these influential people from inside and outside the city? We need to be careful around them, we must not offend them," Blaine said to Max in a soft voice.Max nodded without saying anything. Blaine had a look of wonder on his face, "But I still don't know why the Gonzales family is inviting us. Our family is just second-rate."Max smiled, "Father, I once met the old Gonzales at Crownguard Group and he found out that you also run a pharmaceutical company. Perhaps he thought of inviting you because of this?"Blaine shook his head, "No, that's too shallow a reason. There are many more well-known pharmaceuti

    A tall man approached them, and Richard immediately ran towards the man who entered. "Brother, you finally arrived," he said before looking at Max and pointing, "that man had the courage to try and take my woman," he grinned. Some in the crowd shouted, "Isn't he the strongest fighter of the Knuckle Gang?!" "Oh yes, he's often seen with Deric when they go out." "Uh-oh, and this kid here, he really provoked the cousin of the top fighter of the Knuckle Gang." Richard had a smug look on his face, "That's right, my cousin is the top fighter of the Knuckle Gang—" "Master, how are you? I never expected to see you again so soon," Kent kneeled on one knee and clasped his hands. "Stand up," Max calmly said, "looks like all your wounds are gone, huh?" He said with a smile. Kent stood up and nodded, "yes, I've recovered greatly and my strength has also increased, thanks to your help, master." "Mas--master?!" Richard was surprised, "brother, are you mistaken?

    The whole venue fell silent, Mr. Santos and Mr. Sotto were stunned by what they saw, and they felt a new sense of hope."Forgive us, Divine Doctor, for having doubts," Mr. Santos humbly asked for forgiveness, traces of regret visible on his face."This medicine is truly miraculous at 40%, what more with 100%?" Mr. Sotto exclaimed, eagerly anticipating."Please be seated, gentlemen," Cris said with a smile before giving the next patient their dose of medicine. The wealthy individuals in the venue watched carefully, not blinking or even breathing as each event unfolded. The effectiveness of the medicine depended on the duration and extent of damage to a person's body. After curing the last patient's lingering illness, Cris announced, "This tablet will be called the 'all cure medicine,' although it can heal any ailment, it is only available for purchase at Gonzales Pharmaceutical and Mr. Collins' store with a prescription.

"Father, are you okay?" he asked in disbelief, tears streaming down his face out of sheer joy."I am fine now, son. I no longer feel any pain. It's as if I have returned to my youth. I feel as strong as someone in their twenties. Your mother will be delighted to hear this good news," Mr. Santos' father said.Overwhelmed with joy, Mr. Santos embraced his father. "Dad, that's wonderful news. You are not only better, but stronger too," Mr. Santos happily remarked.His father nodded in agreement. "You are right, son. I am better now. You no longer need to worry about me. You can focus on your work in the company."Mr. Santos understood what his father meant.

    The yapping man flew away after receiving a strong punch from Brad. His suit was crumpled, "oh, their suits are made of metal," Brad sneered.The man punched flew out of the venue, hitting a wall before collapsing, unconscious. Before others could react, Brad moved swiftly, leaving only the leader standing. He felt fear, as some parts of their suits were made of hard metal, resistant even to bullet shots, but for the casual punch from the man in front of him, it was like paper."You're a beast!" the leader shouted in fear.Brad shrugged before looking at Max, "boss, what should I do with this guy?""Put him in a room with his people before tying him up, wait for me after everyone's out," Max casually ordered.The leader realized that Max had the final say. He aimed his gun at Max before pulling the trigger, the sound of multiple gunshots echoed, several golden bullets flying towards Max.

    In a private room, four men can be seen tied to the floor, with Brad leaning near the door keeping watch. The door opened, and three figures entered, one of them being Max, accompanied by the Santos father and son."Ask them why they like the life of old Santos," Max softly said to Brad after seeing the four men.Brad nodded before approaching the leader. The leader was visibly afraid when he noticed Brad coming closer. "What do you want?" the leader said, trembling."I am easy to talk to, one tooth for each wrong answer," Brad said before flashing a menacing grin."What do you mean?" the leader asked, swallowing nervously. He glanced at his companion but noticed that they were still unconscious."It's simple," Brad smiled before kneeling in front of the leader. "What is your purpose for causing trouble at the event?" he asked."We like the life of Mr. Santos," the leader nervously replied.Brad nodded, "Which of the two Mr. Santos?"

    "Zoren!" Sean yelled as he watched Zoren suddenly collapse and vomit blood. Fear and confusion swept over Zoren's men, their faces pale and their bodies trembling as they took cautious steps back.Max walked forward with a calm expression, his footsteps echoing in the silence. He crouched slightly and delivered two sharp slaps to Zoren's face.Slap! Slap!The force was just enough to jolt Zoren awake. He groaned softly, blinking in disorientation as he held his reddened cheeks. When his vision cleared, he saw Max standing over him, a faint smile playing on his lips.Zoren's eyes widened in realization. His expression shifted rapidly from confusion to fear. Without hesitation, he dropped to his knees, bowing his head low."B-Boss! Master!" Zoren stammered, his voice shaking with genuine fear and submission."What?" Sean blurted out, utterly dumbfounded by the sight. He took a step closer, his expression filled with disbelief. "Zoren, what are you doing? Why are you kneeling?"The rest

    Zoren's glare could have burned a hole through Max, but it only seemed to amuse him further. Max let out a relaxed sigh, pointing the branch at Zoren like a teacher scolding a stubborn child."So, are we done here, or do you want me to embarrass you even more?"Zoren clenched his fists, but there was hesitation in his eyes now. His men groaned on the ground behind him, holding their bruises and glaring at Max with disbelief and fear.Sean, watching from the sidelines, swallowed hard, his earlier excitement replaced by unease."Y-You're a freak…" Sean muttered under his breath.Max grinned, resting the branch on his shoulder. "No, Sean. I'm just someone you shouldn't have messed with."Sean's face twisted in anger as he laughed maniacally, trying to muster his courage. He took a step forward as if to charge, but his confidence faltered when his eyes darted to Zoren's men writhing in pain on the ground. His movements stilled, his earlier bravado replaced with uncertainty.Zoren let out

    Max stood still, a faint smirk on his face as the first thug rushed at him, throwing a wild punch aimed directly at his jaw. With a slight tilt of his head, Max avoided the blow entirely, his feet never leaving their spot.The thug blinked, confused at how effortlessly his attack was dodged. Another man immediately charged in, this time aiming a kick at Max's side. Max merely shifted his torso, letting the kick slice through empty air."Is this all you've got?" Max asked, his tone light and mocking.Frustrated grunts came from the group as another thug swung a metal rod, aiming to hit Max's shoulder. Without breaking a sweat, Max leaned backward, the rod missing him by mere inches. The attacker stumbled forward, thrown off balance, and Max didn't even glance at him."Hey, careful with that thing," Max teased, his voice laced with sarcasm. "You might hurt someone. Maybe even yourself."The thugs exchanged nervous glances but steeled themselves. Two came at him simultaneously—one aiming

    After resolving the commotion, several students approached Max, expressing their admiration and gratitude."Thank you for standing up for us," one said earnestly."That was amazing! You were so cool back there!" added another, their voice filled with awe.Max simply nodded, offering them a small smile before turning to check on Rose and Lily, who had just come down to meet him.Rose and Lily hurried over, concern and curiosity etched on their faces."How did you get there so fast?" Rose asked, still puzzled by Max's sudden appearance earlier.Max shrugged nonchalantly. "I came down earlier and waited for the right moment. You just didn't notice because everyone's attention was on Oscar," he explained casually.Lily nodded, impressed. "Oh, so that's how it was. You're amazing, though," she said, her admiration clear as a slight blush crept onto her cheeks.In truth, Max couldn't reveal that his movements were faster than an ordinary human's, making it seem like he had teleported.

    The thugs regrouped, their expressions a mix of frustration and embarrassment. Oscar barked at them angrily, "What are you waiting for? Get him!"One of the thugs muttered under his breath, "Easier said than done…" but they all hesitated before reluctantly charging at Max again.This time, Max tilted his head slightly, as if deciding on something. Then, with a swift movement, he sidestepped the first thug, delivered a light tap to the back of his head, and followed up with a playful smack on the thug's behind using the thug's own bat.The thug froze mid-motion, his eyes wide in shock. "What the—did he just…?"Before he could finish, Max spun around to face the second thug, dodged his clumsy attack, and gave him the same treatment—a loud smack to the rear.The sound echoed across the courtyard, followed by stunned silence and then an eruption of laughter from the students watching from the buildings above."H-he's spanking them!" one student burst out, clutching their stomach.Even Ros

    Before Rose's tears could fall and before Lily's anger could fully erupt, they both froze at the sight in front of them. Their expressions shifted to one of shock and disbelief.Oscar noticed the change on their faces and assumed they were overcome with fear. With a smug grin, he turned to look at the teacher, expecting a lifeless body. But as he turned, he froze in place.Standing in front of the teacher was a man, holding the baseball bat with his hand. It hadn't landed on the teacher. Instead, it had been stopped effortlessly, as if it weighed nothing.Oscar's eyes widened in shock. "Who the hell are you?!" he barked, his voice laced with confusion and anger.The thug who had swung the bat staggered back, fear plastered on his face. He knew how sturdy that bat was—yet the man holding it didn't seem fazed at all. Before anyone could react further, the man clenched his fist and crushed the bat into splinters."W-what?! How is that possible?!" one student whispered in disbelief."Wait

    From the front doors of the campus, a large figure emerged, stepping purposefully into the chaos. It was one of the PE teachers, a man with a stout build and a noticeable belly, but his stern expression and commanding presence made it clear he wasn't someone to be trifled with. "What's going on here?!" he bellowed, his voice echoing across the courtyard. Oscar glanced at the teacher with mild disinterest, a smug grin plastered on his face. "And who's this?" he mocked. "The campus babysitter?" Ignoring the jab, the teacher stopped a few feet away from Oscar's group, crossing his arms. "You're on private property, causing a disturbance, and endangering students. Leave now, or I'll call security and the police." Oscar chuckled, leaning lazily against his bike. "You think I'm scared of you or your little threats? Nah. We're here for Rose, and we're not leaving until she comes down." The teacher's eyes hardened, his patience wearing thin. "Violence has no place here. You're tresp

    Max, Rose, and Lily returned to their classroom for their next lecture. The students filed in, taking their seats, while Max casually walked to his desk, drawing subtle glances from almost everyone.As the professor prepared to start the lesson, a few of their classmates approached Max, their curiosity evident."Hey, Max," one girl began, shyly tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. "Where did you transfer from?"Max looked up, his expression calm yet inviting. "A small town in the province," he replied with an easy smile.Another girl chimed in, her cheeks slightly pink. "Is it true you're on a scholarship? That must mean you're really smart!"Max chuckled softly, shaking his head. "I just try my best, that's all."The casual humility in his voice only seemed to endear him further to the girls, who exchanged excited whispers as they walked back to their seats, their faces flushed and hearts racing.Meanwhile, Lily slumped in her seat, her chin resting on her hand. She glanced at Ma

    However, several moments passed, and Lily still didn't feel the impact of the punch. Slowly, she opened her eyes, only to see Sean's fist mere inches from her face, frozen in mid-air. Her gaze shifted, and there was Max, holding Sean's wrist effortlessly, his expression calm yet resolute.Badum!Lily's heart skipped a beat as she took in the sight of Max. He looked undeniably handsome, his calm demeanor contrasting sharply with Sean's rage. ‘He's so hot,' she thought, her hand reflexively clutching her chest to steady her suddenly erratic heartbeat.Max sighed softly. "You're really going to pick a fight with a woman?" he said coolly before pushing Sean's arm back with a controlled motion.Sean stumbled backward, clutching his wrist with a mix of irritation and shock. His face twisted into a snarl as he barked at Max, "Mind your own business!"Max tilted his head slightly, smirking. "Business? I didn't realize you had any worth minding," he teased, his words striking a nerve.The insu
