Leon approached Max, "Max, this is the new tea that arrived, try it," he said before placing the tea cup on Max's table.

"President Leon, what is happening?" Shantal asked, confused.

Leon turned to look at Shantal, "What's happening? I'm serving tea to the chairman," he said with a smile before sitting back down.

Alice also poured tea into two cups before handing one to Leon. They both smelled the tea and said, "Hmm," savoring the aroma. They took a sip and simultaneously exclaimed, "So good," showing happy smiles on their faces.

"What is happening?" Shantal asked again, still not understanding the situation.

Alice looked at her, "We are having tea; this is the one the chairman bought, just arrived from the United Kingdom," Alice explained before pouring another cup and offering it to Shantal. "Sit down and try it," she said, inviting Shantal to take a seat.

Shantal didn't know what was going on, but she sat down, took the tea, smelled it, and her eyes widened at the fragrant aroma. S

    "Godfather, why did you summon me?" The man asked as he entered and saw Hemmer.Hemmer caressed his hand lightly, "Godfather just have a small favor to ask." He said with a smile."What is it?" the man asked."Let's talk about it later, let's have lunch first," said Hemmer, ready to lead the man to the table, but suddenly Danica interrupted, "Darling, is this your godchild?" she asked with a smile.Hemmer nodded, "This is Miguel, my godchild, one of the front guards of the Axe Gang, they are the bosses of the members guarding the gate," he proudly said."Ah, this is my little godmother," he said with a smile."I heard that your former leader has returned more powerful than before," said Hemmer.Miguel smiled, "thanks to someone's help, he is the one behind the former leader, so he regained his position, with his help, the operation of Axe Gang returned to normal," Miguel clearly showed admiration in his eyes while mentioning this. Hemmer and Danica were surprised, they didn't expect

    Max walked towards the entrance, but he was stopped by a guard watching over the gate of the villa."Stop!" commanded the guard."I am here to check on the condition of Ms. Gonzales," calmly stated Max."Check on her? Are you a doctor?" the guard asked before laughing."I am not a doctor, but I have knowledge in medicine," reassured Max.The guard looked up and down at Max, noticing his old attire, and grinned. "Do you see those going in and out? They come from different parts of the world, many of them are graduates of prestigious universities. And you? A young one who doesn't even know where he came from wanting to examine the young miss of Gonzales? Are you joking?" taunted the guard."You won't know unless I try," calmly replied Max, unfazed by the guard's laughter.The guard burst into laughter, "Even professional doctors cannot determine the condition of the young lady. What makes you think you can?""What concern is it of yours whether I have the ability or not? Shouldn't the e

    "I admit you have knowledge, but not enough. Now as an elder, allow me to teach you so you can learn from me.""I see potential in you, I can make you my dedicated disciple," said the old man, letting everyone know that he was ready to accept Max as his student to mold.He didn't mention that he might have already been surpassed by someone younger than him. Max remained silent, waiting to see what the old man was up to. The old man turned around to face the young lady, approached, sat next to her, and held her pulse before standing up."As expected from the disciple I will take, everything he said is correct. This is indeed a Soul Imprisoning Formation curse. Perhaps the young lady unintentionally triggered it, hence the curse latched onto her," explained the old man before smiling."The first five hours there will be the initial symptoms, suddenly losing consciousness and no other traces to be seen.""If I am correct in my understanding, the people who first examined the lady said th

    "This method has long been lost, but the last time I saw it was during the time of war, five years ago. It was made by a person who also saved the country, that person was the legendary hero and only high-ranking military officials knew him. He is more known as the Legendary General," Cris recounted while Max performed the method. "The Legendary General?! The one who defeated three countries with just a hundred soldiers under his command?!" exclaimed someone upon hearing the name. "I witnessed it during that time but I didn't see the person's face because he was far away and wearing a mask. I only know that his hair is white, I'm not sure if that person was young or old," said Cris shivering as he looked again at that legendary method. "That person is one of the reasons why I continue to practice medicine, why did I forget my purpose in this moment?" said the old man, unable to hold back his tears, filled with regret for forgetting his reason for building his reputation. He kneel

    "What?!" Max suddenly exclaimed, surprised.Eric chuckled, "My beloved granddaughter, do you like him?" he asked.Eliza blushed like a cute little girl, "He's handsome, grandpa, and very humble. He's not like other men who only know how to have fun. He also saved my life, so my life belongs to him now," she shyly said."Sorry, but I'm already married," Max quickly replied.Eliza frowned before thinking, "In that case, you can be my big brother."Max nodded, "Okay, my little sister."Eliza happily approached Max, hugged him, and said, "I'll just call you brother Max, thank you for saving my life." She happily let go of Max and sat beside her grandpa.Max didn't pay much attention to this as he only saw Eliza as a little girl. Eric laughed, "I'll just call you Max too, because now you're the brother of my grandchild and since you're the benefactor, you're also part of the Gonzales family. From now on, no one will dare to harm you in the whole of Pampanga," Eric laughed happily and then

    "Tch! This old man," Eric said before standing up from the chair."Brother Max, you are going to watch an exciting match!" Eliza said with a smile."What does that mean?" Max asked, not understanding. 'Someone is causing trouble, and there's still an exciting match?' he thought.Eliza did not answer but showed a strange smile, "Let's follow grandpa," she said before standing up and pulling Max to follow outside the villa.Outside, they saw an old man with a long white beard standing proudly with his hands behind his back, next to him a big man with a large body beating the Gonzales guards.Upon seeing the guards lying down and writhing in pain, Eric couldn't help but frown, "This old dog Jimmy Cruz really doesn't know the word defeat," Eric said as he saw the big man with Jimmy.Upon seeing Eric emerging, Jimmy grinned, "This time, you will be defeated. Do you see your dozen guards? They are no match for my new pet," he boasted, pointing at the heavily armored guards on the ground."W

    Bang!Adrian was struck hard in the stomach, followed by a crack as his bones broke when Reynald kicked his leg. Adrian flew to the other side of the ring, writhing in pain on the ground, unable to breathe, his bones shattered, causing him to roll in agony, unable to stand.Reynald snapped his neck, "Sigh, I would have let you hit me two more times, but I lost interest after you saw my true strength," he arrogantly said as he slowly walked towards the writhing Adrian in pain. "Brother Adrian!" Eliza shouted fearfully, before glancing at Max with surprise. "You, brother Max, did you know with just a glance that brother Adrian would lose in three moves? Do you know martial arts?" she asked.Cris and Eric also looked at Max, surprised like Eliza. "Max, do you really know martial arts?" Eric asked in astonishment. Max smiled, "I have some knowledge," he casually said."Give up this fight, he might be saved," Max calmly said.Eric nodded, "Stop the fight, Jimmy, stop your artist, I surre

How many more secrets is he hiding?" Eric wondered."Incredible master, not only in medicine but also formidable in martial arts," Crist added.Max glanced at the bewildered Jimmy, "Don't forget my shares," he coolly remarked.Jimmy broke into a cold sweat upon feeling Max's chilling gaze, "Yes, yes, I'll do it right away," he nodded obediently like a dog.Exiting the ring, Max approached Adrian, "Master, the bone fracture and internal injuries are severe; he needs immediate surgery," Cris informed."No need," Max said before producing a tablet, "Take this," he instructed Adrian.Adrian took the medicine and as soon as it touched his lips, it immediately dissolved, and he felt a warmth flowing through his veins.

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
