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
The Enigmatic Son-in-law You lost
All eyes turned toward the door, where two elegantly dressed women stood. Both were well-known figures, and everyone immediately recognized them. They were dressed in sophisticated business suits, exuding an air of authority and refinement that commanded attention.Meanwhile, their classmates started whispering among themselves."Hey, Isn't she the president of this hotel?" one murmured, eyebrows raised."Yeah, that's gotta be for Nathan. Who else could they be here for?" another chimed in, giving Nathan a nudge."Come on, Nathan, don't keep them waiting!" someone urged with a grin.Nathan grinned arrogantly and shot a smug look at Max. "See the difference between us? The president of a company is willing to come here just to greet me," he boasted before standing up and confidently approaching the two women. "Miss Sy—"Slap!Before he could finish, the other woman who had accompanied Ms. Sy delivered a sharp slap to his face. Nathan held his cheek, stunned. "Ms., what's going on? Why
The Enigmatic Son-in-law Surprising Alexa
"Max," Nathan muttered, trying to keep his composure, "Do you really want me to kneel here in front of our former classmates—and Ms. Sy? Don't you think you're taking this too far?""Too far?" Max chuckled, tilting his head. "Weren't you the one who set the stakes yourself? Didn't you think that was a bit much?"Everyone turned to Nathan with mocking looks, some murmuring amongst themselves."What's wrong, Nathan? Got nothing to say now?" one of them whispered, chuckling."Yeah, you're the one who started this," added another, crossing his arms. "You made the bet, Nathan, and now that you lost to Max, you're chickening out?"Nathan's face flushed with frustration, his fists clenched as he fought the urge to lash out. The thought of kneeling to the man he had belittled so many times, to the man he despised, was humiliating enough. But licking Max's shoe? It was beyond humiliation.Nathan's gaze shifted to Katrina, his last hope. He stepped toward her, pleading, "Ms. Sy, please... surel

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

Tonight, Crownguard Group had meticulously organized an exclusive dinner night, an event that had drawn the city's elite. The purpose?

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
