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 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
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
"Mr. Chen, maybe we can already discuss the contract quickly," a nervous voice of a woman said while sitting on the couch.Mr. Chen smiled and poured a glass of red wine before pushing it towards the woman in front of him."Ms. Collins, no need to rush, you can have a drink first to show your sincerity.""Mr. Chen, I don't drink, there are still things I need to attend to in the company.""Alright, just finish this glass and I'll sign the contract right away, one glass won't get you drunk, right?" He politely said with a sinister grin.The woman took a deep breath and hesitantly reached for the glass of wine. "Okay," she said as she took a sip from the glass of red wine.Mr. Chen cheerfully watched the woman enjoy her drink of red wine, then clapped his hands in delight. "Excellent, excellent," he said while glancing at his Rolex."Mr. Chen, I've finished the glass, maybe we can discuss the contract now." Before the woman could finish her sentence, she felt dizzy and weak. She saw Mr.
"Who shamelessly ruined my good deeds?" Mr. Chen shouted as he returned to his senses."Guards, bring him down!" But Mr. Chen was taken aback as he noticed all of his guards lying on the floor.In the next moment, his vision blurred, and a man appeared suddenly before him. Within moments, he found himself flying and felt a sharp pain in his chest as he was kicked hard by a man whose origin he did not know. Mr. Chen fell to the ground heavily, coughing up a mouthful of blood."Who are you? What are you doing?" Mr. Chen screamed in fear, crawling backwards.The man did not answer but checked on Alexa, holding her pulse and realizing she had just passed out from a fierce battle with drugs. He breathed a sigh of relief knowing he arrived in time, he smiled, and whispered, 'Just rest; I'll take care of everything.' He then took off his clothes and covered Alexa, revealing his muscular body. Mr. Chen, feeling intense fear, swallowed hard, noticing the man's hidden strength."Who are you?!"
After buying fruits, Max returned to the hospital and found Alexa awake. "Darling, please rest for a while," Max said as he handed the fruits to Alexa.Alexa looked at Max shyly, unsure of what to do. As Max approached, she suddenly buried her face in his chest, "Husband, I'm sorry for not telling you that I went to Chable Star.""Thank you for coming on time," Alexa said embarrassedly, blushing and still nestled in Max's chest.Max caressed Alexa's head and said in a comforting tone, "It's okay, what's important is that you're safe." Alexa lifted her head, guilt evident in her eyes. Max felt a strange sensation in Alexa's gaze, so he just sighed and remained silent."Oh, by the way, what happened to that shameless Mr. Chen?" Alexa asked angrily as she recalled."Are you okay? Did he hurt you? What hurts?" Alexa asked in quick succession, concerned that Mr. Chen might have done something to his husband.Max smiled and gently said, "Love, calm down, I'm okay. When I arrived, I was with
"My husband, amazing!" Alexa exclaimed happily after reading the contents of the email."Why?" Max pretended to ask in surprise."Just now, Ms. Duran, the new manager of Chable Star, emailed me, saying I should go to her office on Monday to continue signing the contract,""Oh right, tomorrow is Friday, the last day of my shoot for the commercial," Alexa said cheerfully, unable to contain her excitement."I told you, didn't I—" before Max could finish what he was going to say, Alexa hugged him and suddenly kissed him, widening Max's eyes in unexpected shock. It was the first time his wife had hugged and kissed him, and he felt an adrenaline rush through his body, causing warmth to spread.In that moment, Alexa realized she couldn't control herself and impulsively kissed her husband, blushing and feeling her face heat up as she withdrew her lips from Max's, but before she could move away a few inches, Max laid her down on the bed.Both Alexa and Max's heartbeats quickened as this was th
"On your feet," Max said in a calm voice, and immediately both stood up straight."Alice, which member of the group is in the city?" Max asked while he was sitting in the chairman's chair."Sir! as far as I know, it's only Margarette and Brad who are here in the city" Alice replied with a firm tone, standing upright.Alice Coven, former comrade of Max and current secretary of Leon.Max sighed before smiling and said, "The three of us are no longer in the army, so for now, we're just ordinary friends.""So drop the honorific," he added.The two looked at each other before casually sitting down on a couch, appearing as if they had become different people.“Why did you ask who among the members is in the city?” Leon asked casually."I'm planning to acquire a pharmaceutical company; I need them to manage the company" Max casually replied.Max looked at Alice and said, "Give me the addresses of Marga and Brad, and tell them that I will pay them a visit this week.""Got it, Max," Alice said
