When Mr. Santos saw that his father had truly recovered, he couldn't help but shed a tear. "Father, are you okay?" he asked in disbelief, tears streaming down his face out of sheer joy."I am fine now, son. I no longer feel any pain. It's as if I have returned to my youth. I feel as strong as someone in their twenties. Your mother will be delighted to hear this good news," Mr. Santos' father said.Overwhelmed with joy, Mr. Santos embraced his father. "Dad, that's wonderful news. You are not only better, but stronger too," Mr. Santos happily remarked.His father nodded in agreement. "You are right, son. I am better now. You no longer need to worry about me. You can focus on your work in the company."Mr. Santos understood what his father meant. As most people knew, the Santos family was stable and thriving, but when the elderly former chairman fell seriously ill, Mr. Santos neglected the company, leading to leaks and failures in different parts of the business.Mr. Santos nodded before
The Enigmatic Son-in-law Sealed Scroll
The yapping man flew away after receiving a strong punch from Brad. His suit was crumpled, "oh, their suits are made of metal," Brad sneered.The man punched flew out of the venue, hitting a wall before collapsing, unconscious. Before others could react, Brad moved swiftly, leaving only the leader standing. He felt fear, as some parts of their suits were made of hard metal, resistant even to bullet shots, but for the casual punch from the man in front of him, it was like paper."You're a beast!" the leader shouted in fear.Brad shrugged before looking at Max, "boss, what should I do with this guy?""Put him in a room with his people before tying him up, wait for me after everyone's out," Max casually ordered.The leader realized that Max had the final say. He aimed his gun at Max before pulling the trigger, the sound of multiple gunshots echoed, several golden bullets flying towards Max. Brad smirked after seeing the scene, the leader laughed maniacally while shooting, "haha, you're d
The Enigmatic Son-in-law Hood Mark
In a private room, four men can be seen tied to the floor, with Brad leaning near the door keeping watch. The door opened, and three figures entered, one of them being Max, accompanied by the Santos father and son."Ask them why they like the life of old Santos," Max softly said to Brad after seeing the four men.Brad nodded before approaching the leader. The leader was visibly afraid when he noticed Brad coming closer. "What do you want?" the leader said, trembling."I am easy to talk to, one tooth for each wrong answer," Brad said before flashing a menacing grin."What do you mean?" the leader asked, swallowing nervously. He glanced at his companion but noticed that they were still unconscious."It's simple," Brad smiled before kneeling in front of the leader. "What is your purpose for causing trouble at the event?" he asked."We like the life of Mr. Santos," the leader nervously replied.Brad nodded, "Which of the two Mr. Santos?" "The old one, Jason," the leader answered.“Why do
The Enigmatic Son-in-law Timid but crazy
"Mr. Kelvin, we no longer need to delay this matter, you saw it yourself, next time it might be your family in danger," Max said.Kelvin knew how serious this situation was, he nodded, "Mr. Max, if you have the time, please join us today."Max looked at his watch, it was only two in the afternoon, then he turned to Brad, "You handle the explanation to Eric and the others."Brad nodded, "Yes boss!"Max nodded, then looked at Kelvin, "Let's go."After saying that, Kelvin nodded before leading him to his car, followed by their bodyguards. The car drove from San Fernando to Arayat. During the journey, Max was quiet, pondering on what 'scroll' and 'chosen one' were being referred to, it seemed like he had heard or read about it before but couldn't recall. Unable to figure it out, Max closed his eyes and remained silent until they arrived at the Santos villa....After over an hour of travel, the convoy entered a luxurious villa. "Mr. Max, please come in," Kelvin politely said, leading Max
The Enigmatic Son-in-law This Tattoo
"Tell me, who sent you?" Max asked with a grin."Oh, oh, looks like I'll need to use force after all. My attempt to kill the Santos father and son would have been successful if you hadn't interfered, kid. Even so, it doesn't matter anymore. Two old men and a kid, I don't need to exert my full strength on insects like you," he arrogantly stated, referring to the three as if they were mere ants.Max looked at the Santos father and son, asking, "How long has this man been in your villa?" The man was ignored."He's been here a while, three months after the scroll fell into our hands," Kelvin said.Max nodded, "It seems you didn't consider this man a spy."Kelvin shook his head, "No, he didn't raise any suspicions in the past months, except for today's incident with the cake," he said, reflecting on the past."Wait," Jason recalled something, "I once saw this man in my garden, he had a jug with him. I didn't know what he was up to, so I let it be. That was also the day I was bitten by a go
The Enigmatic Son-in-law Overwhelming Power
They entered an underground passage located in Jason's room, behind his wardrobe. Max did not expect that the secret passage would be so carefully hidden. They walked down the stairs, and Max noticed that the surroundings were filled with food supplies that were long past their expiration date."Based on the design and items placed here, it seems that this underground passage was established before the entire villa," speculated Max.Jason nodded in agreement, "Mr. Max is right. This underground area existed before the villa was built. My father used this as a hiding place during past wars when he was still alive. We sought refuge here during the last war," he explained.Max nodded, "There must be other passages leading to this place besides the old man's room."Jason smiled, "Mr. Max is quite sharp. You're correct again. This secret passage leads to our family's private land. It takes about an hour by car to reach the other end. We use this route when we need to transport large items
The Enigmatic Son-in-law Alexa has returned
"Stand up, I want you to keep my identity hidden, act as you did when you first met me, I don't want others to suspect my identity, only you two know about this," Max explained gently.The father and son exchanged uncertain glances before standing up and nodding respectfully. It was difficult for them to accept what they had discovered, but they needed to do it. The two stood up before taking a deep breath."You can trust me, Mr. Max," Kelvin said."Your secret will remain locked in this room," Jason assured.Max smiled before happily nodding to the two, "Let's go back upstairs."...Jessica could be seen outside the villa, feeling restless. She had been wanting to go inside for quite some time now, more than thirty minutes had passed since she were told to wait outside. "I wonder what's keeping Dad, it's taking so long! I'm getting bored here!" She muttered.At that moment, the villa door opened swiftly, and she saw Max coming out with his father. She noticed that his father was more
The Enigmatic Son-in-law A Date with Alexa
Alexa did not pay attention to the man, but she was happy to run to Max the moment she saw him, "My husband, I missed you!" she shouted before running into Max's arms and embracing him tightly.Max returned the hug before gently stroking her hair, "Are you tired? Come, let's go home," Max said with concern.Alexa looked at Max before promptly giving him a quick kiss on the lips, "I don't want to go home yet, let's go for a walk first," she said before getting into the car.The man regained his composure, "M-Ms. Collins, who is that man?" He asked in surprise upon seeing Alexa hug and kiss the man in simple attire without reluctance.Alexa glanced at the man and gave a strange smile before returning to Max's side and kissing him on the cheek. After the kiss, she ignored the man and got into the car, sitting in the passenger seat.The man was even more puzzled by Alexa's actions; Max noticed the man's strange reaction, "I am her husband after all," Max smiled before getting into the dri

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
