    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

    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."

    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

    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.

    "Mr. Chen, maybe we can already discuss the contract quickly," a nervous voice of a woman said while sitting on the couch.Mr. Chen smiled and poured a glass of red wine before pushing it towards the woman in front of him."Ms. Collins, no need to rush, you can have a drink first to show your sincerity.""Mr. Chen, I don't drink, there are still things I need to attend to in the company.""Alright, just finish this glass and I'll sign the contract right away, one glass won't get you drunk, right?" He politely said with a sinister grin.The woman took a deep breath and hesitantly reached for the glass of wine. "Okay," she said as she took a sip from the glass of red wine.Mr. Chen cheerfully watched the woman enjoy her drink of red wine, then clapped his hands in delight. "Excellent, excellent," he said while glancing at his Rolex."Mr. Chen, I've finished the glass, maybe we can discuss the contract now." Before the woman could finish her sentence, she felt dizzy and weak. She saw Mr.

    "Who shamelessly ruined my good deeds?" Mr. Chen shouted as he returned to his senses."Guards, bring him down!" But Mr. Chen was taken aback as he noticed all of his guards lying on the floor.In the next moment, his vision blurred, and a man appeared suddenly before him. Within moments, he found himself flying and felt a sharp pain in his chest as he was kicked hard by a man whose origin he did not know. Mr. Chen fell to the ground heavily, coughing up a mouthful of blood."Who are you? What are you doing?" Mr. Chen screamed in fear, crawling backwards.The man did not answer but checked on Alexa, holding her pulse and realizing she had just passed out from a fierce battle with drugs. He breathed a sigh of relief knowing he arrived in time, he smiled, and whispered, 'Just rest; I'll take care of everything.' He then took off his clothes and covered Alexa, revealing his muscular body. Mr. Chen, feeling intense fear, swallowed hard, noticing the man's hidden strength."Who are you?!"

    After buying fruits, Max returned to the hospital and found Alexa awake. "Darling, please rest for a while," Max said as he handed the fruits to Alexa.Alexa looked at Max shyly, unsure of what to do. As Max approached, she suddenly buried her face in his chest, "Husband, I'm sorry for not telling you that I went to Chable Star.""Thank you for coming on time," Alexa said embarrassedly, blushing and still nestled in Max's chest.Max caressed Alexa's head and said in a comforting tone, "It's okay, what's important is that you're safe." Alexa lifted her head, guilt evident in her eyes. Max felt a strange sensation in Alexa's gaze, so he just sighed and remained silent."Oh, by the way, what happened to that shameless Mr. Chen?" Alexa asked angrily as she recalled."Are you okay? Did he hurt you? What hurts?" Alexa asked in quick succession, concerned that Mr. Chen might have done something to his husband.Max smiled and gently said, "Love, calm down, I'm okay. When I arrived, I was with

  • 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

    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

    Caleb laughed with pride, his voice echoing off the dark chamber's walls. "Magnificent, isn't it?" He spread his arms wide, as if presenting his greatest masterpiece. "I've been working on this little experiment for years. It doesn't even have a proper name yet, and you—" His grin stretched wider, eyes gleaming with cruel excitement. "You, Maximus, will be the first to witness its power firsthand."Max's expression darkened, his jaw tightening. "Tch. You really have a habit of pissing me off, Caleb."Before he could say anything more—"Attack!"Caleb's voice boomed like thunder, and without hesitation, Alexa lunged.She moved like a phantom—fast, precise, and merciless. There was no hesitation in her strike, no warmth in her usually expressive eyes. They were empty, void of life.Max's instincts screamed at him to block, to counter, to fight back—but he couldn't. Instead, he sidestepped just in time, feeling the sharp gust of wind as Alexa's fist barely missed his face."Tch." His eye
