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

It was Max
The room fell silent, with everyone still tense from Blake's earlier words. The elderly man looked around at their expressions and suddenly chuckled, his laughter echoing in the stillness. "Why do you all look so nervous?" he asked, his tone teasing. "Am I so scary now?"The tension broke momentarily, replaced by a few awkward smiles, but Blake waved them off as he adjusted himself in his chair. "Relax, all of you. I'm an old man now, and all I want is to live the rest of my life in peace."He turned his gaze to Alexa and Max, his smile softening. "And it seems like you two are doing well together," he said warmly.Alexa smiled back and spoke, her voice filled with gratitude. "Thank you, Grandpa. Honestly, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have met Max."Max nodded in agreement and added, "You've given me a gift I'll always cherish. Thank you, sir."Blake laughed heartily, clearly pleased. "Good, good," he said, but before he could continue, Lily interrupted, her voice sharp and laced
Blake Collins
A few moments later, more members of the Collins family entered the conference room, taking their seats at the long table. Among them were Leo Collins, Anderson's son, and Lily Collins, Darwin's daughter. The two younger members of the family sat beside Anderson, their expressions mirroring the smug confidence of their fathers.Anderson glanced at his watch before turning to Leo. "Where is Dad?"Leo responded politely, "He's on his way down, Dad." Then, his eyes swept across the room, and he asked, "Uncle Blaine isn't here yet?"Darwin smirked, leaning back in his chair. "Of course not. VIPs are always late, aren't they?"Leo chuckled, his tone laced with sarcasm. "I suppose so." Then, with a sly grin, he added, "I saw online that Alexa's ratings are soaring. She's trending again."Lily rolled her eyes dramatically. "Well, good for her, I guess. That just means her worthless husband gets to live in luxury. Alexa's money, his comfort. Must be nice."Leo laughed, his voice dripping with
Death Sentence
Max noticed Alexa's hesitation and asked gently, "What's going on?"Alexa sighed, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. "Uncle called to say Grandpa's calling for a family gathering. He said it's important. They tried calling Dad, but he wasn't answering, so Uncle called me instead."Max nodded and stood. "Alright, let's go."Alexa nodded as well and got up to prepare herself. After a few minutes, she emerged from their bedroom wearing an elegant silver dress, paired with a designer silver handbag. Her hair was tied neatly in a bun, exuding sophistication. Max stepped out shortly after, dressed in his usual casual and simple attire.Alexa smiled, knowing full well that her husband preferred to stay lowkey despite his status. They opted to use Alexa's car, as Max's vehicle tended to draw too much attention. Max took the driver's seat, and before starting the car, Alexa said, "Let's stop by our old house first to pick up Dad and Mom."Max nodded and started driving.Upon arriving at
Uncle?
A few days had passed since the kidnapping incident. It was Sunday, a day of rest, and Max and Alexa sat in their luxurious villa, enjoying breakfast together. Max took a sip of his coffee and asked, "How's work going for you as an actress?"Alexa smiled as she placed a slice of toast on her plate. "It's going well. My ratings and popularity keep climbing," she said cheerfully. "I've achieved most of my dreams, so maybe after this upcoming movie, I'll aim to be an ambassador or focus on something more meaningful."Max nodded approvingly. "That's good to hear. It suits you."Alexa tilted her head thoughtfully, and a memory sparked in her mind. She set down her fork and looked at Max with curiosity. "Wait... Chable Star is under the Crownguard Group, right?"Max glanced at her with a knowing smile but said nothing.Her eyes widened. "So, it was you all along! I remember getting that email about the project offer, and now it makes sense why you were so confident I'd get the role. You're
Dark Hood Organization
Max let out a deep sigh before nodding quietly. Alexa's face was a mix of shock and disbelief. She took a step back, her voice trembling as she asked, "Why… why did you hide this from me?"Max looked into her eyes, his tone calm but heavy with regret. "I just wanted to live a peaceful life, Alexa. I never intended to deceive you or hide anything from you," he said. "You know this marriage was arranged by your grandfather."At that, Alexa's expression hardened. She interrupted, "Then why didn't you refuse? Our family is just second-class compared to someone like you. You're… you're someone so much greater."Max sighed again, his gaze softening as he explained, "Your grandfather helped me in the past. He showed me kindness when no one else did. Marrying you was my way of repaying that debt.""That's not enough," Alexa said, shaking her head. Her voice was firm, tinged with frustration. "There has to be more. Is there another reason you kept all of this from me?"Max opened his mouth to
Who are you?
The leader's voice shook as he raised his weapon and barked at Max, "Don't come any closer!"Max didn't even flinch, taking another deliberate step forward. The leader's breath hitched, his body trembling as he realized that even in his strongest state, he couldn't hope to defeat Max. His mind raced, desperate for a plan.Then his eyes darted to Alexa, who was still frozen in shock, her gaze fixed on Max. Thoughts swirled in her mind: Could it have been Max all along? The one who saved me from Mr. Chen and every danger I've faced?Her thoughts were interrupted by a cold, metallic sensation against her temple.The leader had moved with desperation, grabbing Alexa and pressing a gun to her head. His face was pale but defiant as he stared at Max. "Don't move! If you take another step, I'll kill her!"Alexa stiffened in terror, her heart pounding as the cold metal dug into her skin.Max's face darkened, his eyes narrowing. His voice dropped to a low, menacing tone. "You've made the worst
How should I play with you?
His hand fell lifelessly to the ground as his body went still, the life draining from his eyes.Nathan swallowed hard, his hands trembling as he barked out commands to his men. "Move! Now!" he shouted, his voice wavering.The mercenaries immediately raised their weapons, their faces now grim with tension as they took aim at Max. The room filled with an oppressive silence as Max scanned the area calmly, his piercing gaze finally landing on Nathan. Letting out a slow, measured breath, Max's expression turned icy.His eyes shifted to Alexa, who sat tied to the chair with a faint, hopeful smile despite the worry etched on her face. "Max," she whispered, her voice trembling. She didn't know what to say, overwhelmed by relief and fear. The sight of Max's calm demeanor against the dozen guns aimed at him made her heart race. She flinched when her cheek stung, a reminder of the slap she had endured.Max's gaze fell to the faint mark on Alexa's face, and his blood boiled. His jaw tightened as
I've Killed So-Called Immortals
Crownguard Group RooftopThe evening sky above Pampanga was clear, the faint hum of the city below contrasting with the tension that filled the rooftop. Leon stood with his arms crossed, his sharp gaze fixed on the horizon. Beside him, Alice furiously typed on her laptop, her eyes darting across multiple screens. Robert stood nearby, his posture stiff and his face etched with worry as they awaited Max's arrival.Leon broke the silence, his voice steady but laced with concern. "Robert, what exactly happened?"Robert straightened, speaking with a respectful tone. "President Leon, one of my men was assigned to guard Ms. Alexa when they were ambushed by martial artists. My men did their best, but they aren't full practitioners—they've only been trained in basic techniques Master Max taught them. They were outmatched."Leon nodded, digesting the information. His gaze shifted to Alice. "Alice, have you managed to trace Lady Alexa's location yet?"Alice didn't look up from her laptop, her fi
Weakling Hiding Behind Women
After the call, Max slipped his phone back into his pocket. The elder Altamirano approached him and asked, "Is something wrong?"Max nodded slightly. "I need to return to Pampanga immediately. There's an issue involving my wife."Without missing a beat, he turned to Cris and instructed, "Prepare a vehicle." Cris responded respectfully, but before he could leave, the elder Altamirano interrupted, "No need. I have a private jet you can use to get back to Pampanga quickly."Max didn't hesitate and accepted the offer with gratitude. The elder then ordered Job to escort Max and Cris to the jet, ensuring their swift departure. Job nodded respectfully and led the way, guiding Max and Cris out of the villa.The group boarded a golf cart and drove through a vast expanse of land behind the villa. Eventually, they reached a sleek private jet parked on a runway. The jet gleamed under the sunlight, a state-of-the-art Gulfstream G700, with a sleek silver-and-blue exterior, large windows, and engine
