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

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? To finally unveil the mysterious chairman of Crownguard Group.Prominent business figures gathered in the ballroom, their voices a low murmur of speculation and intrigue.

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
