2024-10-29 19:42:56"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 with a smile before immediately sending a few messages. Max looked at Leon and said, "I'm planning to mass produce the Divine Tablet." Leon stunned in a second, then he asked, "Are you sure you will produce such a product?" "I will, but I will reduce its efficiency by up to 60%," Max said with a smile. "60%!" Leon exclaimed, nodding as he saw Max's peculiar smile. "Leon, acquiring a pharmaceutical company is your priority," Max instructed before standing up and getting ready to leave. "One more thing, tell the staff not to disclose what happened earlier downstairs, and don't let them know that I'm the chairman." "You take care of the excuse for who I am" With that, he gestured a goodbye before finally leaving. The two of them stood up and respectfully bowed as they watched Max leave. "Max is truly exceptional; nothing is new," Leon said as Max stepped out of the office riding the chairman's elevator Alice tapped his shoulder as if amused, "So, now you know what to do?" she said with a playful smile. "Hey, you handle things downstairs," Leon instructed. "I will handle some matters, you handle downstairs," mischievously said Alice as she leave the chairman's office. Leon was left speechless as he watched Alice leave the room. Then he headed to the ground floor to give instructions to the staff per Max's directives. ..... .... ... The following day, Alexa had no job as her contract had ended. Max said he would go out as he had some things to take care of. Alexa simply nodded without asking any questions before she hugged Max and told her to take care. Max was affectionate, so he gently patted Alexa's head before giving her a kiss on the cheek. ... Max took a taxi ride to Rose Dress and Bags, a renowned boutique recognized for its exquisite collection of luxury clothing and accessories from brands such as Hermes, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and others. Upon entering the shop, Max saw various designer bags and suddenly remembered Alexa. 'Such an elegant bag, this would be great for Alexa.' While choosing a bag as a gift, Max noticed a group of sales ladies talking about him. "Here come the poor pretenders again," said one sales lady with large lips. "He's just here to take photos to deceive young girls," said another sales lady with excessive makeup. "Maybe he's really here to shop?" said the woman with a small face. The two sales ladies looked at the one with a cute face. "Hey newbie, do you see what he's wearing? He can't even afford decent clothes," said the woman with large lips as she sneered. "Don't you think he'll buy something? Why don't you approach him? Ask him what he wants," said another sales lady as she pushed the newbie. Max overheard the conversation of the three, so he smiled before approaching the sales lady with a small face and asked, "Miss, what is the best bag to give as a gift to a woman?" "Don't worry about the price, just show me the best bags you have" he added "There's a new limited edition Hermes bag that just arrived, it is the top item in our store right now," the woman responded. "Bring me all the beautiful bags," Max calmly said. The sales lady was about to go when a woman with thick lips approached and stopped her. "Hey, newbie, do you know the price of the limited bag you are talking about?" "The new Hermes bag, the Swan Pearl, there are only seven in the world, and it costs 20 million pesos," she said. "Do you think if this gets stained or scratched by someone and not paid for, do you think it can still be sold? Or can you afford the price?" She crossed her arms and looked at Max with disdain. "The Swan Pearl bag, a rare pearl is placed in the middle of it, and the one in our shop is the blue royal pearl, leading in the ranking of Swan Pearl bags." "According to the rumors, this pearl was found in a cave where sunlight rarely shines and due to the intense cold of this place, the pearl was formed in an unnatural way and took on an intense blue color," added the other sales lady. The woman paled upon hearing what the two sales ladies said, causing her to freeze in place, unsure of what to do. Max noticed the fear in the cute sales lady's eyes and tapped her gently on the shoulder. Max smiled softly and calmly asked, "On what basis do you say I can't buy the Swan Pearl Bag?" The woman with thick lips grinned and said, "Do you need a basis? Have you looked in the mirror? Do you see the value of what you're wearing?" Max shrugged and remained silent. "If you can bring out even a hundred thousand, I will kneel and ask for forgiveness," said the woman with thick lips with a smug smile. Max smiled with interest before saying, "Not enough." "Not enough?" the woman laughed before adding, "I'll resign on the spot if you can produce a hundred thousand." "Alright, that's what you said," Max said with a teasing smile, and then told the cute sales lady to get the Swan Pearl bag as he handed over the black credit card. The woman hesitated, but Max assured her to trust him, and it was okay, prompting her to move swiftly. "Keep up the act, using the worn-out credit card with a black sticker to make it look like a black card," said the woman with thick lips. Max didn't respond and waited for the lovely lady. After a few more minutes, the nervous lady returned. "Sir, there's a problem," she said, handing the card back to Max.

"Sir, there's a problem," she said, handing the card back to Max; her hands were shaking.The woman with thick lips laughed loudly. "Newbie, newbie. Didn't you ever think that he might actually be able to pay for the bag?" she asked with a grin.The newbie ignored the woman with thick lips and apologized to Max, saying, "Sir, I'm sorry, I made a mistake.""What happened?" Max calmly inquired."It's likely that the payment wasn't successful," interjected the woman with thick lips with a grin.The newbie shook his head and said, "No, the transaction was successful but..." hesitating to continue.The woman with thick lips paused upon hearing what the newbie said before she spoke, "But what?"The newbie looked apologetically at Max before reluctantly saying, "Sir, I'm sorry, I accidentally pressed an extra zero.""Instead of 20 million, it became 200 million."Everyone who heard was stunned, including the woman with thick lips, who couldn't believe what she was hearing.

When Max arrived home at seven in the evening, he saw his wife dressed beautifully as if she was about to go somewhere, "Where are you off to, dear?" Max asked."Our high school class monitor messaged me, we have a reunion at the Phoenix Grand Hotel," Alexa replied as she approached Max.'The Phoenix Grand Hotel? As far as I know, it's under the Crownguard Group,' Max thought.Seeing the items Max was carrying, Alexa, curious, asked, "Honey, what's that?"Max smiled and said, "I didn't give you much when we got married," then he took out the Swan Pearl bag and handed it to his wife.Alex's eyes lit up with joy as she looked at the beautiful bag her husband handed her, feeling warmth in her heart, she hugged Max and thanked him, "Thank you, my love.""Hey, my good son-in-law, you even know the right time to come home," Alicia, his mother-in-law, shouted before scolding Max.

Danica laughed before glaring at Max and angrily said, "Fake? You, who looks like a security guard, if this is fake, are you saying that your wife's bag is real? Then pointed to Alexa."Max just shrugged and said nothing. There was no need for Max to explain himself as he was the one who purchased the original bag.Seeing Max quiet demeanor, Danica thought that the bag held by Alexa was indeed fake. Irritated, she pointed at Max and said, "If you can't prove what you're saying, perhaps you should just stay quiet?" She widened her eyes before continuing in a frustrated tone, "You stinky security guard!""My bag may be an imitation, but it seems to be better made than yours," Alexa calmly remarked as she compared the two bags.Danica chuckled with irritation, saying, "You're the one who said that the bag you're carrying is an imitation. How did your bag end up better than mine?" With a smug grin, she said as she raised the bag in front of Alexa.Alexa remained silent, shrugging indiffer

The scene with Danica trying to win over Ramil could also be observed.As soon as the group entered, a man dressed in a red Armani suit approached and greeted them, "Class monitor, you still look beautiful as ever." The man then glanced up and down at Shantal with a sly look before continuing, "Not only beautiful, but your body has also become more sexier," as he licked his lips and looked at Shantal's chest."You're flattering me too much, young master White," Shantal calmly replied, seemingly accustomed to the man's behavior.The group began to walk inside, but as they took a step, the man blocked their path. "Oops, class monitor, you may enter and sit down, but I haven't seen these two beauties for a long time," he said, looking at Alexa and Vivian with desire."Robert White, is this a class reunion or a club that allows you to block the girls you like?" Vivian coldly responded."Your tem

"I apologize, I made a mistake, I didn't recognize the-" before Robert could finish speaking, Max suddenly interrupted, "Mr. White, why are you kneeling? Did you slip?" He was given a stern look, sending chills down his spine.Robert immediately stood up and brushed off his knees, pretending to inspect the floor. "Oh, yes, yes, I slipped," Robert said, wiping off the cold sweat.Others thought Robert really kneeled before someone like Max, but they soon realized he just slipped before they turned to Max with a hint of disgust."Young master White, what happened? Why does your father seem angry?" Shan asked.Robert did not speak, but it was Max who spoke, "I just sent a message to my friend about an employee who gained access to Crownguard Group using the backdoor and reported it to the company President," as he fished out his phone showing that he sent a message to a contact named comrade."Oh, your friend?

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

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.

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

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.

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

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
