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
The Enigmatic Son-in-law Pretty Boy
As the three approached, Waren stepped forward, his sharp gaze locking onto Max before curling into a confident grin. He greeted Rose and Lily with a casual nod."Rose, Lily," he said smoothly, his tone friendly yet laced with arrogance. His eyes shifted to Max, sizing him up. "And who's this?"Rose answered, her voice polite but firm. "This is Max. He's a transfer student."Waren nodded, his gaze lingering on Max. "Transfer student, huh?" he muttered. Then, turning his attention back to Rose, he asked, "Have you registered for the sports fest yet?"Rose nodded. "I did earlier. It's going to be three teams competing this year, right?"Waren's grin widened at the mention of additional competition. "Three teams, huh? Doesn't matter who they are," he said with a cocky laugh. "I'll crush them all, same as always."To emphasize his confidence, Waren suddenly executed a spinning kick, the sound of his foot slicing through the air echoing in the gym. The display was sharp and precise, making
The Enigmatic Son-in-law You'll Pay
However, several moments passed, and Lily still didn't feel the impact of the punch. Slowly, she opened her eyes, only to see Sean's fist mere inches from her face, frozen in mid-air. Her gaze shifted, and there was Max, holding Sean's wrist effortlessly, his expression calm yet resolute.Badum!Lily's heart skipped a beat as she took in the sight of Max. He looked undeniably handsome, his calm demeanor contrasting sharply with Sean's rage. ‘He's so hot,' she thought, her hand reflexively clutching her chest to steady her suddenly erratic heartbeat.Max sighed softly. "You're really going to pick a fight with a woman?" he said coolly before pushing Sean's arm back with a controlled motion.Sean stumbled backward, clutching his wrist with a mix of irritation and shock. His face twisted into a snarl as he barked at Max, "Mind your own business!"Max tilted his head slightly, smirking. "Business? I didn't realize you had any worth minding," he teased, his words striking a nerve.The insu
The Enigmatic Son-in-law Lover
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
The Enigmatic Son-in-law 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

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

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
