The Enigmatic Son-in-law Enigmatic Son-in-law
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

"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

"Zoren!" Sean yelled as he watched Zoren suddenly collapse and vomit blood. Fear and confusion swept over Zoren's men, their faces pale and their bodies trembling as they took cautious steps back.Max walked forward with a calm expression, his footsteps echoing in the silence. He crouched slightly and delivered two sharp slaps to Zoren's face.Slap! Slap!The force was just enough to jolt Zoren awake. He groaned softly, blinking in disorientation as he held his reddened cheeks. When his vision cleared, he saw Max standing over him, a faint smile playing on his lips.Zoren's eyes widened in realization. His expression shifted rapidly from confusion to fear. Without hesitation, he dropped to his knees, bowing his head low."B-Boss! Master!" Zoren stammered, his voice shaking with genuine fear and submission."What?" Sean blurted out, utterly dumbfounded by the sight. He took a step closer, his expression filled with disbelief. "Zoren, what are you doing? Why are you kneeling?"The rest

Zoren's glare could have burned a hole through Max, but it only seemed to amuse him further. Max let out a relaxed sigh, pointing the branch at Zoren like a teacher scolding a stubborn child."So, are we done here, or do you want me to embarrass you even more?"Zoren clenched his fists, but there was hesitation in his eyes now. His men groaned on the ground behind him, holding their bruises and glaring at Max with disbelief and fear.Sean, watching from the sidelines, swallowed hard, his earlier excitement replaced by unease."Y-You're a freak…" Sean muttered under his breath.Max grinned, resting the branch on his shoulder. "No, Sean. I'm just someone you shouldn't have messed with."Sean's face twisted in anger as he laughed maniacally, trying to muster his courage. He took a step forward as if to charge, but his confidence faltered when his eyes darted to Zoren's men writhing in pain on the ground. His movements stilled, his earlier bravado replaced with uncertainty.Zoren let out

You're Still a Long Way
Max stood still, a faint smirk on his face as the first thug rushed at him, throwing a wild punch aimed directly at his jaw. With a slight tilt of his head, Max avoided the blow entirely, his feet never leaving their spot.The thug blinked, confused at how effortlessly his attack was dodged. Another man immediately charged in, this time aiming a kick at Max's side. Max merely shifted his torso, letting the kick slice through empty air."Is this all you've got?" Max asked, his tone light and mocking.Frustrated grunts came from the group as another thug swung a metal rod, aiming to hit Max's shoulder. Without breaking a sweat, Max leaned backward, the rod missing him by mere inches. The attacker stumbled forward, thrown off balance, and Max didn't even glance at him."Hey, careful with that thing," Max teased, his voice laced with sarcasm. "You might hurt someone. Maybe even yourself."The thugs exchanged nervous glances but steeled themselves. Two came at him simultaneously—one aiming

Scared Bully
After resolving the commotion, several students approached Max, expressing their admiration and gratitude."Thank you for standing up for us," one said earnestly."That was amazing! You were so cool back there!" added another, their voice filled with awe.Max simply nodded, offering them a small smile before turning to check on Rose and Lily, who had just come down to meet him.Rose and Lily hurried over, concern and curiosity etched on their faces."How did you get there so fast?" Rose asked, still puzzled by Max's sudden appearance earlier.Max shrugged nonchalantly. "I came down earlier and waited for the right moment. You just didn't notice because everyone's attention was on Oscar," he explained casually.Lily nodded, impressed. "Oh, so that's how it was. You're amazing, though," she said, her admiration clear as a slight blush crept onto her cheeks.In truth, Max couldn't reveal that his movements were faster than an ordinary human's, making it seem like he had teleported. He si

My Butt!
The thugs regrouped, their expressions a mix of frustration and embarrassment. Oscar barked at them angrily, "What are you waiting for? Get him!"One of the thugs muttered under his breath, "Easier said than done…" but they all hesitated before reluctantly charging at Max again.This time, Max tilted his head slightly, as if deciding on something. Then, with a swift movement, he sidestepped the first thug, delivered a light tap to the back of his head, and followed up with a playful smack on the thug's behind using the thug's own bat.The thug froze mid-motion, his eyes wide in shock. "What the—did he just…?"Before he could finish, Max spun around to face the second thug, dodged his clumsy attack, and gave him the same treatment—a loud smack to the rear.The sound echoed across the courtyard, followed by stunned silence and then an eruption of laughter from the students watching from the buildings above."H-he's spanking them!" one student burst out, clutching their stomach.Even Ros

Your Girl?
Before Rose's tears could fall and before Lily's anger could fully erupt, they both froze at the sight in front of them. Their expressions shifted to one of shock and disbelief.Oscar noticed the change on their faces and assumed they were overcome with fear. With a smug grin, he turned to look at the teacher, expecting a lifeless body. But as he turned, he froze in place.Standing in front of the teacher was a man, holding the baseball bat with his hand. It hadn't landed on the teacher. Instead, it had been stopped effortlessly, as if it weighed nothing.Oscar's eyes widened in shock. "Who the hell are you?!" he barked, his voice laced with confusion and anger.The thug who had swung the bat staggered back, fear plastered on his face. He knew how sturdy that bat was—yet the man holding it didn't seem fazed at all. Before anyone could react further, the man clenched his fist and crushed the bat into splinters."W-what?! How is that possible?!" one student whispered in disbelief."Wait

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

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

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
