The Enigmatic Son-in-law I stole the phone?
As Zhick hurried towards the hypercar where Max was, the couple continued to taunt Max relentlessly."Look at him, standing there like a statue. Maybe he's too embarrassed to admit he's out of place," the woman sneered."Yeah, probably thinking about how to sneak a picture without anyone noticing," the man added with a smirk.Max stood silently, unfazed by the buzzing flies in front of him. His calm demeanor only fueled the woman's belief that he was guilty, prompting her to mock him even more. "Why so quiet? Cat got your tongue?" she taunted, growing increasingly irritated by Max's nonchalant expression. In her frustration, she attempted to slap him, but Max casually sidestepped, causing her to lose her balance and fall to the ground. The crowd erupted in laughter at her embarrassing tumble.Humiliated, the woman quickly got up and, in an angry tone, demanded, "Why did you dodge?"Max shrugged, replying with a teasing smile, "The fly was too noisy, trying to land on me."The woman's
The Enigmatic Son-in-law He is?
As the woman approached Zhick, she greeted him politely, "Mr. Cloud, are you looking for your missing cellphone?" She handed Max's phone to Zhick.Zhick expression darkened upon seeing the phone, as if he understood the situation immediately. The woman noticed Mr. Cloud's grim face and assumed he was angry. 'Haha, that kid is definitely in trouble,' she thought before speaking."Mr. Cloud, this man here," she began, pointing at Max, "was causing a disturbance and acting suspiciously. He was lurking around, and when I confronted him, I found this phone in his possession. It's clear he stole it, and he was trying to disrupt the event. We wanted to stop him, along with Jaden, to ensure your important guests weren't disturbed."Zhick took the phone, and the woman was eager, thinking she would be rewarded. But instead, slap! Zhick slapped her hard. "Fool!" he cursed before smiling and walking over to Max."Mr. Crownguard, I apologize for arriving late and for the scene you had to endure. A
The Enigmatic Son-in-law Dark Arts
Max parked his car outside the training site before walking into the camp. Upon reaching the training ground, he saw six trainees in the first and second tents, their hair turned white and their bodies weak. Max could tell their life force had been drained."General! Glad you made it on time," Jed said, running towards Max, breathless, fear evident on his face."Where are the three latecomer soldiers?" Max asked immediately.Jed paused for a moment but quickly remembered that Max wasn’t an ordinary person. "General, they’re in the fourth tent. Each of them is holding another trainee, and everyone they touch ages rapidly, right before our eyes. The three become incredibly strong and fast, and we don’t know what happened. They suddenly lost control and attacked those near them. We ran as soon as we saw what was happening, but some still got caught because their speed is far from normal."Max nodded. "Don't worry, they'll return to normal," he said, and in the next instant, he disappeare
The Enigmatic Son-in-law Mom's Second Betrayal
Max calmly walked back toward where Jed stood, still in shock, his hands casually in his pockets. The trainees who had appeared elderly moments ago were slowly regaining some strength. "Rest up," Max said in a calm tone. "Don’t worry, what happened won’t happen again." Without waiting for a response, he continued walking out of the area.Jed, still wide-eyed, watched as the three men Max had questioned suddenly exploded into a dark mist of blood, leaving no trace behind. His mouth hung open in disbelief.Outside, Max climbed into his car and began driving back to the city. As he drove, he dialed Zhick’s number. "Zhick," Max said once the call connected, "I need you to pick up my car and park it somewhere safe. Just bring it back to me when I need it.""Got it, Mr. Crownguard," Zhick replied without hesitation. "I’ll take care of it. Where should I meet you when you need it?""I’ll let you know," Max responded, then ended the call.Max made his way to Zhick’s 4S shop. When he got out
The Enigmatic Son-in-law Notorious Syndicate
As Alexa lay unconscious on the cold floor, Alicia stood nervously in front of the man she now called Mr. Delano, her hands trembling slightly as she watched him survey her daughter with a look that made her uneasy.“You’ve done well, Alicia,” Delano said, his voice smooth but with an edge that sent shivers down her spine. His gaze never left Alexa. “She’s even more beautiful in person than in the photos you showed me.”Alicia forced a smile, trying to hide her fear. “T-Thank you, Mr. Delano,” she stammered, her heart pounding in her chest. “As we agreed, Alexa is yours. I did everything as planned.”Delano turned his cold eyes to her. “Everything, huh?” he mused, stepping closer. “Just remember, Alicia, you owe me for this. No one crosses me.”Alicia swallowed hard, her mind flashing back to that fateful day when she had met Delano. It was supposed to be a simple game of Mahjong, but things quickly spiraled out of control. She had heard whispers about Delano before—rumors of his vast
The Enigmatic Son-in-law Voice from hell
"Fire!" the lead guard shouted in fear, pulling the trigger of his Glock 17.Without waiting for further instruction, the other guards immediately opened fire, the air filling with the deafening sound of gunfire. Bullets rained down on the spot where Max had been standing—but suddenly, he was gone.The guards stopped shooting, stunned. They exchanged confused glances, their hearts pounding. "Where did he go?" one of them muttered, his voice barely audible over the ringing in their ears from the gunshots. They frantically scanned the room, but there was no sign of Max. It was as if he had vanished into thin air.Just as they began to relax, thinking maybe they'd scared him off, Max reappeared right in front of them without warning, moving so fast that they could barely register his presence. "Good evening, gentlemen," Max said calmly, his voice carrying an eerie nonchalance. Before any of them could react, he started handing out casual, almost leisurely, slaps—one for each of them.Sl
The Enigmatic Son-in-law Merciless Demon
Alicia’s heart raced. 'How had Max known about this place?' She never imagined he had people watching over Alexa. The fear growing in her chest wasn’t only directed at Mr. Delano anymore—it was now also aimed at Max. She thought she knew her son-in-law, but now doubts crept in. 'Who was Max, really?' The situation was spinning out of control, and she couldn’t find the strength to speak, knowing full well that Max was far scarier than Mr. Delano in this moment.Max turned his steely gaze to Mr. Delano. “Put my wife down,” he commanded calmly.Mr. Delano let out a mocking laugh, attempting to regain control. “Who do you think you are, kid?” he sneered, calling out for his guards. But no one came. His voice echoed through the room as he called again, still with no response. Delano's face grew red with frustration, and he yelled a third time, sounding more like a seal barking than a man commanding authority.Max stood quietly, letting Mr. Delano shout himself hoarse. His expression was un
The Enigmatic Son-in-law Acquiring a Villa
"Alicia," Max's cold voice sent a chill through Alicia's scalp. "I could tolerate it if I was the one you were targeting. But how can you commit such disgraceful acts, selling your own daughter for a little bit of money?"Alicia trembled, unsure of what to do or say. "This is..." she stammered, searching for words that wouldn’t come. Then, a thought crossed her mind. 'I'm still the mother of his wife. There's no way he'd hurt me. Alexa would surely be furious if she found out.' Gaining a twisted sense of confidence, Alicia's fear faded, and a smug smile crept onto her face. She straightened her posture and felt her arrogance return.She looked at Max with disdain, her eyes narrowing. "So what if you're good at fighting?" Alicia sneered. "What's the point? What does it matter? You think you scare me? You think because you can beat up some thugs, you can control me? I'm Alexa's mother, Max, and no matter how powerful you think you are, you can't touch me. She would never forgive you." A

It was Max
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
