The Enigmatic Son-in-law The Cautious Ones
Cris and Max sat at a table in the corner of the café, sipping coffee and pretending to read the newspaper. Their disguises were laughably over-the-top: Cris wore a pair of oversized novelty sunglasses with a fake, comically large nose attached, while Max sported a wide-brimmed hat and a fake mustache that looked like it was about to peel off his face. Despite their ridiculous appearances, they blended in surprisingly well, as the other patrons were too preoccupied to pay them much attention.From their position, they had a clear view of Rick and the seller's table. Cris occasionally peered over the edge of his newspaper, his comical nose barely staying in place, while Max adjusted his fake mustache whenever it threatened to fall. Both of them listened closely to the conversation.At the other table, Rick leaned forward, his tone feigning eager interest. "So, if I wanted to take this further and maybe act as a reseller, how would that work? I mean, there's definitely a demand for some
The Enigmatic Son-in-law Drop Your Weapons
Inside the facility, Rick and Mr. Alonzo continued their discussion about a potential partnership."If I'm going to be a regular reseller, I need to make sure the supply is consistent," Rick said.Mr. Alonzo nodded thoughtfully before replying, "I understand the importance of that, Rick. Our company is known for maintaining a steady supply chain. You can sign a contract for the first batch of 20 pieces, and after that, we'll set up an agreement for future orders."He called over a staff member and gave instructions, "Bring twenty pieces of the medicine for Mr. Rick and prepare the contract.""You're quick to act," Rick said approvingly as he began signing the contract. "I think this partnership will work out well."....Meanwhile, Max and Cris had entered the facility. As they walked through the area, some workers couldn't help but notice their ridiculous disguises. Max's fake mustache and Cris's glasses with a large fake nose provided an unintentionally comedic contrast to the tense
The Enigmatic Son-in-law Ms. Irene
Cris stepped behind Max with a playful grin. "I'll just watch from here," he quipped, waving a hand in mock surrender. "Combat's not really my thing."Max scanned the room, his gaze sharp and unyielding. "Last warning," he said, his voice calm yet carrying an undeniable authority. "Put down your weapons."But Mr. Alonzo wasn't one to back down. He smirked, a wicked glint in his eyes. "Hurt us? How can you hurt us when you'll be dead in seconds?" Raising his hand, he gave the signal. "Fire."The room erupted into chaos as gunfire filled the air. Bullets sped toward Max and Cris, their path deadly and precise. Rick, still hiding behind the post, watched in horror. "What the hell am I doing here?" he muttered under his breath, cursing himself for getting involved. He shut his eyes tightly, convinced it was over for Max and Cris.Dust and smoke clouded the area where Max and Cris had stood, the ground trembling under the force of the barrage. Mr. Alonzo let out a triumphant laugh, raising
The Enigmatic Son-in-law Not Here to Negotiate
Max left with Mr. Alonzo and the seller, leaving Cris and Rick to contact the authorities and report the illegal activities. As they drove, the atmosphere in the car was tense. Mr. Alonzo's nervous glances in the rearview mirror only served to highlight his unease, while Max remained calm, his piercing gaze fixed on the horizon.After several minutes, they arrived at an expansive compound surrounded by high walls and tight security. In the center stood a modern white facility that radiated sophistication. Two armed guards stood by the gate, their faces stoic as they watched the car approach.The vehicle stopped, and the trio stepped out. Mr. Alonzo led the way to the guards, who stopped him with an outstretched hand."No entry for outsiders," one guard stated firmly, his hand hovering near his holster."Respectfully," Mr. Alonzo began with a forced smile, "the gentleman here is our distributor, and the other is a potential client looking to open another shop for our products."The gua
The Enigmatic Son-in-law Mad Scientist
The butler's lips trembled, his desperation evident. He glanced toward Ms. Irene, as though seeking her permission or protection, but she offered neither. Instead, her face had turned pale, her carefully constructed facade crumbling by the second. "I... I don't know his real name," the butler stammered finally, his voice barely above a whisper. Max arched a brow, unimpressed. "Then what do you call him?" As the butler began to speak, his voice trembled with fear. "They call him The Chemist," he admitted, beads of sweat forming on his brow. "He's the one who developed the formula. We—Ms. Irene and I—just handle distribution."Ms. Irene visibly flinched at being implicated but didn't immediately deny it. Max's sharp eyes shifted to her."So, Ms. Irene," he said smoothly, "you're not just the face of this operation—you're a key part of it. Where is The Chemist now?""I... I don't know!" she blurted out, panic rising in her voice. "He only contacts us when he wants to deliver the ne
The Enigmatic Son-in-law One Punchman
Before Manroy could say anything, Max stepped forward and spoke with a confident tone. "I already know who's behind the spread of these counterfeit drugs," he said, his voice sharp and cutting. "No wonder these drugs are as dark as their leader. So, it all traces back to the Dark Hood Organization. That old man—so ancient, yet still refuses to change."The old man, The Chemist, froze at Max's words and narrowed his eyes. "Who are you?" he demanded, his posture suddenly alert.Max smirked, his demeanor cool and unbothered. "Who am I?" he repeated, almost mockingly. "I'm just the one who's going to send people like you straight to hell."The Chemist chuckled, a low, sinister laugh echoing through the lab. "You? And what exactly can you do to me?" he sneered. Clapping his hands, he added, "Let me show you something I've been working on."From the shadows of the lab, several figures began to emerge. Their appearance was grotesque—mutated humanoid creatures that seemed neither entirely hum
The Enigmatic Son-in-law Maxwel Crowford
Olongapo CityMax sat on the terrace of a luxurious suite, observing the vibrant life of the city below. Neon lights flickered, and the constant buzz of traffic and nightlife filled the air. After resolving the counterfeit drug issue, Max's family had returned to San Fernando. But a message from Leon about the Dark Hood Organization had drawn him to Olongapo.Before leaving, Max told Alexa he was traveling to expand their business. Alexa, understanding Max's dedication, didn't ask too many questions. Before departing, Max instructed Robert to bolster the security detail around her and to report anything unusual immediately.His phone buzzed on the table. He picked it up and saw Leon's name on the screen. Answering the call, Max spoke casually."Leon.""Max," Leon replied in an easy tone. "Everything's set. I've got everything you need lined up. How's the city treating you?""Same as always. Loud and crowded," Max said, leaning back in his chair. "Why, you planning a visit?"Leon chuck
The Enigmatic Son-in-law Nursing Student
After returning to his hotel suite, Max sat down and carefully examined the documents and uniform he had received. He held up the white uniform, inspecting it with mild curiosity. "So, this is the nursing uniform," he muttered to himself.Setting it aside, he picked up the stack of papers and began reading through the information about the university, his assigned schedule, and other details. A note caught his attention—it mentioned that students were allowed to wear casual clothing on weekends. He shrugged, setting the uniform aside, since he wouldn't need it tomorrow.Next, he picked up the ID and read the name printed on it: Maxwel Crowford.A grin spread across his face. "You really outdid yourself this time, Leon," he chuckled before placing the ID on the bedside table..........The next day, Max stood outside the gates of Gordon University, wearing a simple black shirt and dark jeans. The sun reflected off his neatly combed hair, and the subtle confidence in his posture made h

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
Exclusive Dinner
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. Among the notable attendees were:Miguel Vasquez, CEO of Vasquez Shipping Corporation, a titan in the logistics industry.Victoria Tan, the iron-willed owner of Tan Pharmaceuticals, known for revolutionizing the healthcare sector.Samuel Chua, the real estate magnate behind Chua Land Holdings, with properties spanning across the country.Nathaniel Yu, owner of Yu Tech Innovations, a leader in AI-driven technology solutions.Apart from these influential figures, some of the most affluent families had also made their way to the event.

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
