The Enigmatic Son-in-law Claud
The man Max had kicked earlier rose to his feet, cracking his neck with a determined sneer. With a nod to his comrades, he and the other three launched forward, their speed and force dialed up as they coordinated their assault. This time, their strikes came closer, slicing through the air with deadly precision—Max evading each one by a hair, a grin plastered on his face as he swayed and ducked. One punch flew so close it nearly grazed his cheek, but he leaned back just in time, only to sidestep as another fist shot past his ribs.Between attacks, the men exchanged quick glances, clearly impressed by Max,s skill. "You,re pretty good, kid," one of them muttered, a hint of admiration in his voice.Max smirked, sliding out of the way of a high kick. "Is this all you,ve got?" he taunted, raising an eyebrow. "I was expecting a bit more from Claud,s ‘backup dancers.,"A second man laughed, though he clearly felt the sting of Max's jab. "Don,t get cocky," he warned. "You,ve only seen 30% of w
The Enigmatic Son-in-law Borrowing Technique
As Claud prepared to charge, one of his men stepped forward, holding up a hand. "Boss, you don't need to get your hands dirty. Let us show this kid what real power looks like."Claud hesitated, then nodded, crossing his arms. "Fine. My time's valuable, so don't drag this out," he said with a smirk, confident his men could handle the situation.The four exchanged glances before turning back to Max, an eerie, focused intensity in their eyes. "Kid, don't blame us for being ruthless," one of them sneered. "We're about to show you our true power!" As they spoke, a dark energy began to wrap around them like a storm cloud, thickening until the air itself seemed to pulse with their combined strength. Black veins bulged across their bodies, pulsating with energy as it merged with their forms. Max watched, unfazed but alert, as their bodies expanded, muscles growing more defined, their energy radiating pure menace. He recognized the scene—it was disturbingly similar to what he'd seen in the ar
The Enigmatic Son-in-law About Time to Wrap
Before the four monstrous fighters closed in, Max subtly coated his body with a nearly invisible layer of energy, forming a thin yet resilient barrier around himself. He did it effortlessly, a faint shimmer flickering around him for just a moment before disappearing entirely. With his defenses in place, he stood still, appearing as though he were waiting to be attacked.The four fighters, now fully transformed with dark energy and twisted features, lunged forward without hesitation. One came in first with a powerful punch aimed directly at Max's shoulder. The blow collided with the barrier, sending a faint shockwave through the air, but Max barely shifted. The fighter's eyes widened in surprise, but before he could react, his ally was already coming in from the side, throwing a hard kick aimed at Max's ribs. The impact met the energy barrier again, but Max stood motionless, absorbing the blow without flinching.Two more followed, each delivering rapid strikes—punches, kicks, even claw
The Enigmatic Son-in-law Antique Shop
The next moment, the men's eyes turned white, and one by one, they collapsed onto the ground, unconscious. Their bodies returned to their original forms, Claud stood there, stunned and speechless. Just as he began to process what had happened, Max's voice spoke from behind him."Tell your master to wait for me in his den."Chills ran down Claud's spine at the words, and before he could react, his vision faded, and he collapsed, unconscious, joining his men on the cold ground. Max dusted off his hands, glanced down with a bored expression at the heap of defeated men, and walked out of the alley, yawning.He waved down a taxi, and once inside, the driver asked, "Where to?"Max replied casually, "Prime View Heights." The driver's eyebrows shot up. Confirming, he repeated the address back to Max in surprise. But Max nodded, urging him, "Just drive, no questions."Puzzled by Max's simple attire yet sensing his confidence, the driver figured he might work there or know someone who lives in
The Enigmatic Son-in-law Call me Daddy
Max didn't turn right away at the sound of the voice, but a smirk crept across his face as he immediately recognized it. Nathan had approached with an air of confidence, clearly intrigued by Max's companion. Spotting Alexa beside him, Nathan's eyes lingered, assuming at first she was just one of Max's "sugar girlfriends." But as he looked closer, his expression shifted in surprise; he recognized her instantly—Alexa, a well-known star.Yet, in this place, most patrons had little interest in celebrities. A few younger fans had politely asked Alexa for photos when they first arrived, but inside this antique shop, eyes were more drawn to relics with rich histories than to famous faces.Nathan composed himself and walked over, noticing Alexa's interest in a porcelain vase displayed on a polished shelf. With a charming smile, he reached out and gently placed his hand on the vase. "You have excellent taste, Ms. Alexa," he said with a hint of admiration in his tone, glancing from the vase to
The Enigmatic Son-in-law Old Painting
Nathan grinned smugly and said, "I'll go first." Max simply nodded, giving Nathan a casual wave to begin. Nathan strutted confidently around the shop, his eyes scanning the shelves for something that would truly impress. A few moments later, his eyes lit up as he spotted a piece—a golden chalice with a rich, worn patina, and detailed engravings circling its base. Nathan lifted the chalice with a proud smile, making sure everyone's eyes were on him. He raised his voice to draw attention."Ladies and gentlemen," he began dramatically, holding up the chalice, "what we have here is no ordinary item. This chalice is from the medieval period, originally owned by a powerful merchant family known for their Silk Road trade routes. It's said this chalice was once used in ceremonial offerings to their gods to bless their ventures and secure prosperity." He paused, clearly enjoying the captivated looks from a few onlookers. "Given its history and rarity, I'd estimate this piece to be valued betw
The Enigmatic Son-in-law Old Joiner's Birthday
Max ignored the stares from everyone around them. Calmly, he turned to Alexa and handed her the painting. "Love, this will be our gift for your grandmother's birthday," he said.Alexa stared at the painting, clearly in awe of its discovery. "Really?" she asked, carefully taking the masterpiece from Max's hands. As the story of the painting resurfaced in her mind, she hesitated, saying, "But this painting is incredibly valuable." Max smiled, gazing at Alexa with love. "Is there anything more valuable than my wife?" he replied, his voice sincere but his smile playful."Thank you, Max," Alexa said, hugging him tightly before giving him a soft kiss on the lips. The sweet gesture filled the room with warmth, and the crowd couldn't help but whisper excitedly among themselves."They're a perfect match made in heaven." "They really look good together." "So sweet!" Meanwhile, Nathan stood rooted in place, his face red with anger, envy, and utter embarrassment. Every moment of the scene
The Enigmatic Son-in-law Amanda's Intention
Inside Villa No. 1Max adjusted the cuffs of his sleek black tailored suit, which accentuated his sharp features and gave him an air of effortless sophistication. He glanced at Alexa, who was wearing a form-fitting emerald green dress that draped elegantly over her curves, its subtle shimmer catching the light. Her beauty was undeniable, her shiny black hair cascading over her shoulders, framing her radiant face. Max couldn't help but admire her. "You look stunning," he murmured with a soft smile, his eyes filled with admiration. Alexa blushed, stepping closer to fix the lapel of his suit. "And you look dashing," she replied, her voice gentle as she adjusted his tie, her hands lingering slightly. She looked up at him, their eyes meeting in a moment of tender affection. "I think we're ready," Max said, his tone light, though his gaze remained fixed on her. Just then, the doorbell echoed through the villa, breaking their quiet moment. Max frowned slightly, confused. "Who could t

Max felt the strange energy disappear almost as quickly as it had appeared. Yet he was sure of one thing—it wasn't just one or two students emitting it. Whoever or whatever it was, they were inside the university. He kept these thoughts to himself as the rest of the class went by uneventfully.When lunch finally arrived, Max began to gather his things when Lily approached him, smiling brightly."Max! Come eat with me and Rose," she said cheerfully.Max paused for a moment, considering her offer. Then his eyes darted toward Sean, who was quietly packing his things. Max spoke up, his voice calm but firm. "Sean, tell Zoren to meet me in the cafeteria."Sean froze for a moment, then nodded respectfully. "Yes," he replied, before hurrying out of the classroom.Lily and Rose stared at Max, their faces a mix of surprise and confusion."Wait a second," Lily began, raising an eyebrow. "You know Zoren? The martial artist?"Max smiled faintly and shrugged."How did you get Sean to listen to you

It's about time
"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

You're Still a Long Way
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

Scared Bully
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. He si

My Butt!
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

Your Girl?
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

Brutal Force
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

Lover
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
