The Enigmatic Son-in-law Just Relaxing
Max, still smiling, finally looked at him. For the first time, his amusement faded. And in its place, Leo saw something that sent a shiver down his spine.A glint of deadly intent.A warning.As if Max was telling him, without words:You just made the biggest mistake of your life.Leo clenched his teeth and pulled the trigger.Bang!The gunshot echoed, but Max casually caught the bullet between his teeth and bit down on it before spitting it onto his palm. He flicked the bullet to the ground with a playful smile. Leo froze, his body stiff with fear as he took a step back."H-Hellspawn… you're a hellspawn!" Leo stammered, his voice trembling. His men stood frozen, unable to comprehend what had just happened."Kill him!" Leo shouted, his voice filled with desperation. "Take out your guns and shoot him!"His men quickly snapped out of their shock and pulled out their firearms. The sound of safeties clicking off filled the air before they aimed at Max and pulled the triggers. A barrage of
The Enigmatic Son-in-law Breaking News
As Alexa and Lily moved closer, they were met with an unexpected sight. Max was seated comfortably under the shade of a large tree, looking completely at ease. Around him, the ten men who had been knocked unconscious earlier were now attentively massaging his shoulders, arms, and legs. Some were even asking him if their pressure was just right.Max nodded in satisfaction. "It's good," he said, before glancing at one of the men. "Go a little higher."Meanwhile, a few others, including Leo, were sitting in front of Max, looking oddly submissive.Hearing Lily's startled voice, the group turned their heads. Max's lips curled into a relaxed smile as he spotted Alexa. "Oh, you're here," he greeted casually.Alexa approached, scanning the scene before her with confusion. The men glanced at her before exchanging whispers."Isn't she Alexa? The famous actress?" one of them muttered."She is! She's even more beautiful in person," another chimed in."She's got that top-tier beauty," a third adde

Max spoke firmly into the phone, his expression unreadable. "Looks like the old man is making his move faster than expected." Without hesitation, he gave his orders. "Deploy all available units near the affected areas. If there are no units nearby, send Brad and Marga immediately." His voice was calm but carried undeniable authority. "I'll be there soon." "Understood," Leon responded without hesitation before ending the call. Max turned to Alexa, his gaze steady. "I have to move." He exhaled sharply before adding, "The one behind this attack… it's one of those who disappeared during the last war. That bastard is making a move again." Alexa gave a small, knowing smile. "Then go," she said softly. "Do your duty as a general." Max smiled in return, appreciating her unwavering support. "Thank you." He placed a gentle hand on her cheek before instructing, "Stay in the villa." Alexa nodded, concern flickering in her eyes. "Be careful, Max." Max gave her one last glance before
The Enigmatic Son-in-law Three minutes left
The monstrous being at Porac rose again, its body shaking off the impact of Nilo's punch. Its blackened skin, still covered in remnants of the strange oily substance, cracked slightly—but it did not seem bothered. Instead, its glowing, eerie eyes locked onto Nilo.For a moment, the creature stood still, as if studying him. Then, it let out a guttural growl, filled with something new—interest.Nilo smirked. "Oh? You're interested in me now?" He cracked his knuckles, stepping forward. "Well, I'll keep you entertained, then."Meanwhile, at Apalit, the same situation unfolded. The creature Brad had sent flying climbed back to its feet, its unnatural body twisting and contorting into place. Its head turned toward Brad, locking onto him like prey.Brad's sharp eyes narrowed slightly.At the same time, both Nilo and Brad gave their orders."Get the injured away from the battlefield!"The soldiers immediately obeyed, dragging their wounded comrades to safety as the two warriors dashed forward
The Enigmatic Son-in-law Just here for Entertainment
The commander swiftly gave a new order, his voice firm despite the growing tension. "Switch to grenade launchers!" Without hesitation, the soldiers moved with practiced efficiency, grabbing their grenade launchers and preparing to fire. Within moments, ten launchers were locked and loaded. The air was thick with tension as the commander raised his hand. "Fire!"A deafening series of explosions erupted as grenades rained down upon the three humanoid creatures, engulfing them in thick smoke and flames. The force of the blast sent shockwaves through the battlefield, kicking up dust and debris. The soldiers held their breath, gripping their weapons tightly as they waited for the results.But as the smoke began to clear, their worst fears were confirmed. The three creatures remained standing, completely unharmed. The leader let out a sigh, scratching his ear as if mildly annoyed. "That was boring," he muttered. Then, in a voice laced with amusement, he continued, "You have one minute left.
The Enigmatic Son-in-law A Call from Robert
Leon's opponent was a brute force incarnate, towering and rippling with muscle, his purple-hued skin gleaming under the battlefield's dim light. He swung a massive fist downward, the sheer force splitting the earth beneath him. Leon sidestepped with practiced ease, his expression calm as he delivered a precise counter—his palm striking the creature's extended arm. A shockwave erupted from the impact, sending dust and debris flying, but the monster barely flinched, merely grinning as if intrigued by Leon's power.The momentary pause was enough for the creature to twist its massive frame and swing a powerful roundhouse kick. Leon ducked low, shifting his weight, then propelled himself forward with explosive speed, aiming a lightning-fast punch at the creature's ribs. It landed with a sickening crunch, sending tremors through its body, but instead of recoiling, the monster laughed—a deep, guttural sound—before retaliating with a backhand strike that Leon barely blocked in time.Meanwhile
The Enigmatic Son-in-law Reckoning
Max answered the call, and the moment he did, he heard Robert's weak voice on the other end."Ma-Master Max… there's a problem at the villa," Robert said, his tone strained. "We were attacked… Black-clad martial artists with dark auras—just like the ones from the tournament. They… they took Alexa."Max's grip on his phone tightened."They were too strong… We had no chance," Robert admitted, frustration and exhaustion lacing his words."I understand," Max replied firmly. Without another word, he ended the call and slid the phone back into his pocket.Leon and Alice immediately took notice of the shift in his expression. Leon stepped closer. "Something wrong?" he asked.Max let out a short exhale before flashing a smirk, though his eyes were filled with a cold, deadly intent. "Looks like I was the old man's target all along," he said. "These creatures were just a distraction. His real plan was taking Alexa."Leon narrowed his eyes. "So, what's the plan now?"Max's smirk faded into a cal
The Enigmatic Son-in-law It's been a while
The helicopter's rotors slowly came to a stop as it settled on the open grounds before the dark mansion. Max stepped out, his boots pressing against the hardened earth, his eyes immediately surveying the ominous structure before him. A suffocating darkness hung in the air, thick and oppressive, wrapping around the mansion like a living entity. The aura of death and malice was palpable—so much so that even the wind refused to disturb the stillness.Max smirked. 'How dramatic.'As he approached the large iron gate, it creaked and groaned, swinging open on its own as if extending an invitation. The darkness beyond seemed to pulse, alive and waiting. Max narrowed his eyes. He could sense them.Before he could take another step, figures emerged from the shadows—more than a dozen men, all exuding a thick, inky-black aura. Their eyes glowed with a sinister light, their bodies brimming with forbidden martial arts energy. They moved with deadly precision, surrounding him in a wide formation, t

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

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
