The Enigmatic Son-in-law Illegitimate Child
Max stepped forward, his calm demeanor unwavering despite the tension in the room. He placed his hand on the elderly man's wrist, examining him with a subtle, focused expression. Just as he was about to speak, Arnold erupted in anger, his voice booming through the room."Nothing's wrong with him?!" Arnold's face was flushed with rage. "Look at my father's condition! He's bedridden, pale, weak, and barely hanging on, and you dare to say he's not sick? Are you playing games with us, young man?!"Max remained silent, ignoring Arnold's outburst.Arnold stepped closer, his glare intense. "Tell me, what's your motive? Money? Is that what you're after? If it's money you want, I'll pay you—just take it and leave my daughter alone!"Still, Max didn't respond. He moved closer to the bed, his focus solely on the elderly man. He gently placed his fingers on the old man's wrist as if measuring his pulse."Are you even listening to me?!" Arnold shouted, his frustration evident.Before Max could rep
The Enigmatic Son-in-law Kneel before you?
Rose turned to Max with a pleading look, her voice trembling as she begged, "Please, help my grandfather." Max nodded, stepping forward to assist when the door suddenly swung open. A haughty man entered, his voice booming, "Don't touch my father!"Daniel's eyes lit up, and he broke into a wide grin. "Dad!" he called out. "Where's the Divine Doctor?""Brother Job, where is the Divine Doctor?" Tessy asked, her voice filled with concern.The newcomer was none other than Job Altamirano, the illegitimate son of the elder Altamirano and Daniel's father. Smiling smugly, Job replied, "The Divine Doctor just stepped out to use the restroom. He'll be here shortly. Don't worry—Father will be saved."A dark glint flickered in Job's eyes as he thought, 'Once I save the old man, he'll owe me a great debt. That favor will be my gateway to claiming all his wealth. And when that happens, I'll finally get rid of him for good.' His cold gaze lingered on the bedridden patriarch for a moment before shifti
The Enigmatic Son-in-law He is the Master
All eyes turned to the doorway, where an elderly man with striking white hair stepped in. Cris Angel, the Divine Doctor himself, exuded an air of wisdom and authority. His sharp, discerning eyes swept across the room, his furrowed brows hinting at irritation as he assessed the tense atmosphere. Despite his age, his presence was commanding, and the weight of his words seemed to silence everyone.Job's face lit up with a wide smile as he stepped forward, bowing slightly in respect. "Master Cris," he greeted warmly, his tone filled with exaggerated deference. "I'm so grateful you've arrived. But I must tell you, there's a brazen young man here claiming you would kneel before him the moment you see him."Daniel, unable to contain his excitement, nodded eagerly, his smug grin widening. "Yes, Master Cris, you won't believe the arrogance of this kid! He even had the nerve to make it sound like it was an undeniable truth."Cris's eyes narrowed as he frowned deeply. His tone carried a sharp ed
The Enigmatic Son-in-law Spirit Devouring Incense
Max smiled faintly, saying nothing. Arnold, unable to contain his shock, blurted out, "You… you're really the master of the Divine Doctor?" His disbelief was quickly replaced by shame and regret as he fell to his knees, bowing his head deeply. "Please forgive me for my words and actions earlier. I didn't realize…"Max's expression remained calm as he gestured for Arnold to rise. "Stand up," Max said. "You don't need to apologize. I came here as Rose's friend, to help her family. That's all."Arnold nodded as he stood, his face a mix of relief and lingering embarrassment. "Then… is it true? My father isn't sick? But why has he been experiencing such strange symptoms?"Max turned to Cris with a knowing look. "Cris, examine him and tell me what you see."Cris gave a respectful nod before walking over to the elder Altamirano. He carefully observed his face, eyes, nose, and brows, then gently checked his pulse. The room was silent, everyone waiting with bated breath. Finally, Cris let out
The Enigmatic Son-in-law Was that magic?
Max surveyed the room with an air of calm authority before speaking again. "Before we begin, let me say this: if anyone here is responsible for the mattress, now is the time to confess. If not, I assure you, the consequences won't be pleasant."The room remained silent, the expressions of everyone present neutral—except for Job, whose forehead and back glistened with sweat. He shifted uncomfortably under Max's gaze, but Max didn't call him out. Instead, Max smiled faintly, his eyes sharp."Well then," Max said, his tone steady, "since no one's speaking up, let's begin."He raised his hand, his fingers moving in deliberate, precise gestures, as if weaving a spell. A faint glow emanated from the mattress, and suddenly, drops of blood began to rise from its surface, defying gravity as they floated in the air. The blood shimmered momentarily before darting straight toward Job.Following the blood, a dark, ominous mist began to seep out of the mattress, taking the form of sinister spirits
The Enigmatic Son-in-law Robert's Call
Job's shoulders trembled as he averted his gaze, the weight of his guilt clear on his face. He knew there was no point in denying anything now, especially in the state he was in. Taking a deep breath, he confessed, "I… I only wanted to gain favor with our father. I thought… if I could make him depend on me, I could secure more authority in this house—more control over the family assets. I… I just wanted my family's name to have a good reputation. Being… being an illegitimate child, I've always felt like I didn't belong… like I didn't have a right to anything."Arnold's expression hardened, his voice cutting through the room like ice. "You selfish fool," he spat. "You nearly killed our father for your own gain! You endangered his life—all for what? Power? Recognition?!"Job stayed silent, his head hanging low. "I know…" he finally muttered. "I know I was wrong. I'm sorry. I… I truly regret everything."Before Arnold could retort, a frail but steady voice broke the tension. "Enough."Ev
The Enigmatic Son-in-law 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
The Enigmatic Son-in-law 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

Grand Wedding
Inside the luxurious fitting room, Max stood in front of a full-length mirror, adjusting the collar of his crisp white tuxedo. The fabric was impeccable, tailored perfectly to his frame, exuding elegance and authority. Today was the day—his wedding day.Leon, leaning casually against the wall with his hands in his pockets, watched with an amused expression. "I never thought I'd see the day, Max. The great Maximus Crownguard, nervous about a wedding."Max smirked as he attempted to fix his tie. "Who said I'm nervous?"Leon scoffed, stepping forward. "You've been fixing that tie for five minutes, and it still looks like a rookie mistake. Here, let me." He swatted Max's hands away and took over.Max chuckled. "I swear, if I didn't know better, I'd say you're enjoying this way too much."Leon smirked. "Of course, I am. It's not every day I see you in a situation where you actually need help."Max shook his head with a small laugh. "It's just a tie, Leon.""Uh-huh," Leon said, tightening t
Proposal
As admiration filled the room, a sudden outburst shattered the moment."Impossible!" Bubbles screamed, standing abruptly. She pointed a trembling finger at Max. "You? You're really the Chairman?"Max simply smiled and shrugged.Bubbles collapsed into her seat, her mind unable to process the truth. "It's over…" she muttered under her breath, completely shaken.Daniel and Eugine wore identical horrified expressions. The realization hit them like a freight train—they had offended Max, and everyone had seen it. Of all the people they could have belittled, why did it have to be him? Of all the people in this grand event, why was he the Chairman? A man they had underestimated, a man whose background they never even considered. No wonder… His unwavering confidence now made perfect sense.Alfred smirked and spoke up, his voice laced with amusement. "Now do you understand why Alexa once said that Max himself is his own backup?"At that moment, everything clicked for them. The memories, the sub
The Man Behind
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
The Mysterious Chairman
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." His deep voice carried effo
Pretended to be Poor
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
Talent Show
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

At San Fernando Pampanga, the grandest hotel in the city, Grand Horizon Hotel, stood resplendent in dazzling lights. Tonight, Crownguard Group had meticulously organized an exclusive dinner night, an event that had drawn the city's elite. The purpose?

Stepping forward as the Chairman
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
Making him my Servant
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! BOOM!Each exchange was blindingly fast, their forms barely visible to an ordinary eye. Max launched a high kick—Caleb blocked it with his fore
