The Enigmatic Son-in-law Acquiring a Villa
"Alicia," Max's cold voice sent a chill through Alicia's scalp. "I could tolerate it if I was the one you were targeting. But how can you commit such disgraceful acts, selling your own daughter for a little bit of money?"Alicia trembled, unsure of what to do or say. "This is..." she stammered, searching for words that wouldn’t come. Then, a thought crossed her mind. 'I'm still the mother of his wife. There's no way he'd hurt me. Alexa would surely be furious if she found out.' Gaining a twisted sense of confidence, Alicia's fear faded, and a smug smile crept onto her face. She straightened her posture and felt her arrogance return.She looked at Max with disdain, her eyes narrowing. "So what if you're good at fighting?" Alicia sneered. "What's the point? What does it matter? You think you scare me? You think because you can beat up some thugs, you can control me? I'm Alexa's mother, Max, and no matter how powerful you think you are, you can't touch me. She would never forgive you." A
The Enigmatic Son-in-law No. 1 Villa
When arriving home, after a while Alexa woke up, she found herself lying in bed, Max sitting beside her, quietly watching over her."Max…" she murmured, her voice weak.Max immediately leaned closer, his hand gently brushing her hair back. "I'm here. You're safe."But as the memories of what had happened came flooding back, anger welled up inside her. Her face tightened, and soon, tears began to spill down her cheeks."I can't believe she would do that to me," she choked out, her voice trembling. "My own mother…"Max's expression softened as he pulled her close. "I know. I'm so sorry, Alexa. I got there in time. Nothing happened. You're safe now.""But how could she, Max?" she sobbed, burying her face in his chest. "She was ready to sell me… for what? A little money?" Max held her tighter, his voice calm but firm. "It's over now. She's not going to hurt you again."Through her tears, Alexa looked up at him. "I can't stay here anymore. I don't want to be anywhere near her. We have eno
The Enigmatic Son-in-law Dumpsite?
Even so, the saleswoman was growing impatient, her previous curiosity now tinged with frustration. She had convinced herself that Max was just pretending to be wealthy, stringing her along with false hopes. Trying to keep her tone professional, she looked at Max and smirked, believing she had finally unmasked him."Sir," she said with a hint of condescension, "let's stop this charade, shall we? You're wasting our time. If you don't have the money, it's best you leave. We can't spend our time on window shoppers."Max, still calm, didn't flinch. "I understand, but I'm really looking for something simple and peaceful. A place where my wife can rest without too much noise—"The saleswoman cut him off, waving her hand dismissively, her patience running out. "There's no need to play this game. Villa No. 1 is the only available property, and quite frankly, you're just wasting our time. It's clear you're not serious."Her irritation was thinly veiled behind her attempt to sound professional.
The Enigmatic Son-in-law Ynna Solivan
It was Ynna Solivan, Alexa's cousin, and the sister of Hyper. Her sharp tone carried across the air, filled with disdain. Max knew that Ynna and her family were staying in one of the villas nearby, but he hadn't expected to run into her here. If his calculations were correct, he had a good idea about who Ynna's boyfriend might be as well."Hey, trash. What are you doing here?" Ynna's voice was biting, her eyes narrowing as she took in his appearance.Max stood his ground, calm as ever. He didn't rise to the bait. "Just here to check on my villa," he replied simply, his tone neutral.Ynna raised an eyebrow, then burst into mocking laughter. "Your villa?" she repeated, voice dripping with sarcasm. "You? A villa here? Don't make me laugh. You really think you can afford to live in a place like this?" She shook her head, her expression a mix of disbelief and amusement. "You're just living off Alexa, aren't you? I bet she's paying for everything while you sit back and do nothing."Max rema
The Enigmatic Son-in-law Cutting All Ties
Zhick stepped out of the car, smiling as he walked towards Max, ready to greet him. But before he could reach Max, Ynna approached him, a confused look on her face."Zhick, love. What are you doing here? Why did you stop at Villa No. 1 instead of Villa No. 5?" she asked, puzzled.Zhick blinked in surprise. "Oh? Ynna, what are you doing here?" he responded, equally confused. "I'm here to greet the new owner of Villa No. 1. They just bought it.""Really?!" Ynna said in shock. "Do you know the owner? Can you introduce me? I just want to ask how they became so successful and managed to buy such a huge villa," she added excitedly.Zhick's confusion deepened as he looked between Ynna and Max. "Wait, weren't you two already talking?" he asked, still unsure of what was happening.Ynna grinned smugly. "Oh, no, no. Max? He's just the driver of the owner. He's been pretending as if the villa belongs to him," she said dismissively. "Can you believe the nerve of this guy? Always acting like he's s
The Enigmatic Son-in-law Grand Horizon Hotel
As the man approached, he spoke up promptly, "Max, Director Cole mentioned you bought Villa No. 1, so I came over. I was already here for an inspection, and it was lucky I spotted you."Max nodded with a slight smile. "How's work going, Jasphere? Why are you handling the inspections yourself?"Jasphere shrugged, "Just accompanying the team—I wanted to make sure everything's up to standard," he paused before adding, "By the way, our class reunion is tonight at the Grand Horizon Hotel, around eight o'clock."Max gave a nod but didn't commit directly. "I'll try to make it," he replied.With that, Jasphere excused himself, mentioning he still had more villas to check on. "If you can make it, I'll see you at the reunion tonight," he added as he turned to leave.After Jasphere left, Max took a moment to consider his options. Driving his hypercar back home now didn't feel like the right move—too noticeable. He decided it was better to keep things low-key, so he headed out of the villa, haile
The Enigmatic Son-in-law Former Classmates
Grand Horizon Hotel was a tall and elegant building with a shiny glass exterior that sparkled in the evening lights. The entrance was made of marble and decorated with chandeliers, giving it a classic charm. The lobby was large and had comfortable, stylish furniture, making it a luxurious and welcoming space.Max arrived in his BMW M4, and a valet promptly came forward. Though Max was dressed simply, the valet recognized the sophistication of the car, suspecting that the man in front of him was quietly wealthy. With a nod, Max handed over his keys, adding, "Find me in the private room on the second floor." The valet took note and carefully parked the vehicle as Max walked inside and made his way to the gathering.....Upstairs, in a private room where Max's former classmates were already socializing. Jasphere stood off to the side, glancing at his watch for what seemed like the hundredth time. Another classmate noticed and came over, curious."Hey, Jasphere," one of their former class
The Enigmatic Son-in-law Not Him—But You
The valet respectfully bowed before Max and handed him the car key. "Sir, here is the key to your car. It's parked in the VIP area of our hotel."Max nodded, "Thank you for your service." The valet gave another polite bow and left the room, leaving Max's former classmates stunned. They sat in silence, processing what had just happened—even Nathan looked taken aback.After a few moments, Nathan regained his composure, a sly grin spreading across his face. Standing up from his seat, he strolled over to Max, clearly intent on mocking him. Max watched him approach, perfectly calm, already sensing exactly what Nathan had in mind. He decided to let Nathan play out his little game, curious to see just how far he would go—almost as if he were watching a clown in action."Oh, so you've got a car too, Max?" Nathan sneered, making sure everyone could hear. "Mind telling us what kind? Or better yet, let me take a guess." He began to list off a few low-end models loudly, "How about a Kia Rio? Or m

New Power
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

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
