Max grinned as he watched Harper faint, foam forming at the corners of his mouth. "Get him out of the training site; we can't have anyone fainting here," he ordered. Two men quickly lifted Harper and carried him out of the camp.Turning back to the group, Max asked, "Are you ready for training?" As he spoke, his hair gradually returned to its natural black color."Sir, Yes Sir!" everyone shouted in unison.Max smiled before giving a command, "Form up into squads!"The trainees immediately fell into line, and Max nodded in approval. Then, with a mischievous grin, he reminded them, "Remember our bet? Since you all attacked, you know what's coming."A shiver ran down the trainees' spines as they felt a chill creeping up. Max continued, "Today, we'll be doing double the usual: obstacle courses, endurance runs, strength drills, agility exercises, and tactical maneuvers, all because none of you managed to land a hit on me."A few trainees exchanged frustrated glances, clearly wanting to com
The Enigmatic Son-in-law Ordinary Workers
Max glanced around before asking, "Is it me?" as he pointed to himself.The man looked around before speaking, "Is there anyone else here?""Oh, what do you need, Jasphere?" Max asked, showing no interest."Ah, Mr. Chairman, here are the documents Ms. Cole ordered to be brought and reported. She's not here because—" Jasphere paused, "Wait a minute, I should be the one asking that. What are you doing in the Chairman's office?"Max nodded, "I'm waiting for Leon; he's still in a meeting," he said before standing up from his chair and approaching Jasphere. "Classmate from way back, it seems you've moved up in the world, huh?" he said with a smile before offering Jasphere a seat.Jasphere nodded, "How have you been, Max? I was just lucky to be chosen as a manager. How about you? Why are you in the Chairman's office?" he asked.Max smiled but didn't answer the question, "Have a seat first, we have a lot to talk about. Would you like some tea?"Jasphere nodded, "Thanks, Max. Do you think Pre

Jasphere stood up straight, almost frozen, "P-President Leon, I'm sorry, my friend and I drank the Da Hong— Da-Da—""Da Hong Pao," Leon said, and Jasphere nodded like a robot, "Yes, President Leon, I'm sorry, this is my fault," he said before kneeling, "President Leon, my friend Max is not at fault. Please, I take full responsibility for this mistake. It was my idea to try the tea, and I should have known better. Please don't blame Max for my actions.""Leon, have a seat and join me for some tea," Max said casually, "Oh, by the way, grab your cup."Jasphere shivered at Max's words, quickly standing up to explain, "President Leon, I'm sorry, my friend doesn't know what he's saying, please don't pay attention to him—""Stand up," Leon said before guiding him to sit in the chair next to Max. Once seated, Leon took a cup, sat across from Max, and poured himself some tea."Leon, keep an eye on when the next stock will be available, and make sure to reserve early. The stock is running low;
The Enigmatic Son-in-law They were here
Max saw about a dozen people in black suits running down the street.Boom!They seemed to have no specific target, exploding randomly wherever they ended up. It was clear that the people in suits were not in control of themselves.Boom!Another explosion occurred nearby, and it seemed they were there just to cause chaos, with no clear purpose for their actions. Suddenly, one of the suited individuals ran toward a child who had fallen in panic. The man, looking like a zombie, was sprinting toward the child, intent on dragging her into his self-destruction.As the suited man neared the child, Max disappeared from his spot and helped the child to her feet. The man in the suit was sent flying after being kicked by Max and exploded at a safe distance, thankfully harming no one."My goodness, are you okay, my daughter?" a woman rushed to the child, "Sir, thank you for saving my child," she thanked Max before leaving.Moments later, the men in black were all gone, leaving only black marks be
The Enigmatic Son-in-law Carshow
After embedding his energy into the three individuals, Max felt more at ease. He assessed their strengths and began crafting personalized training regimens for them. As days passed, the newcomers caught up with the others. They didn't exhibit any unusual behavior, so the training at the military camp continued smoothly.The following day, Max announced a break, as they had been training non-stop for weeks. And the next day, he didn't go to the training ground but instead headed to a car show organized by Zhick Cloud. Upon arriving at the event, he didn't spot Zhick and proceeded inside. Since it was a car show, there were no restrictions on entry, and attendees were free to take pictures. Max dressed casually, as usual, with simple attire.As Max walked through the car show, he passed by each vehicle, taking a moment to glance at the displays. He first encountered the classic cars, like the 1967 Ford Mustang and the 1959 Cadillac Eldorado. While he appreciated their vintage charm and
The Enigmatic Son-in-law I stole the phone?
As Zhick hurried towards the hypercar where Max was, the couple continued to taunt Max relentlessly."Look at him, standing there like a statue. Maybe he's too embarrassed to admit he's out of place," the woman sneered."Yeah, probably thinking about how to sneak a picture without anyone noticing," the man added with a smirk.Max stood silently, unfazed by the buzzing flies in front of him. His calm demeanor only fueled the woman's belief that he was guilty, prompting her to mock him even more. "Why so quiet? Cat got your tongue?" she taunted, growing increasingly irritated by Max's nonchalant expression. In her frustration, she attempted to slap him, but Max casually sidestepped, causing her to lose her balance and fall to the ground. The crowd erupted in laughter at her embarrassing tumble.Humiliated, the woman quickly got up and, in an angry tone, demanded, "Why did you dodge?"Max shrugged, replying with a teasing smile, "The fly was too noisy, trying to land on me."The woman's
The Enigmatic Son-in-law He is?
As the woman approached Zhick, she greeted him politely, "Mr. Cloud, are you looking for your missing cellphone?" She handed Max's phone to Zhick.Zhick expression darkened upon seeing the phone, as if he understood the situation immediately. The woman noticed Mr. Cloud's grim face and assumed he was angry. 'Haha, that kid is definitely in trouble,' she thought before speaking."Mr. Cloud, this man here," she began, pointing at Max, "was causing a disturbance and acting suspiciously. He was lurking around, and when I confronted him, I found this phone in his possession. It's clear he stole it, and he was trying to disrupt the event. We wanted to stop him, along with Jaden, to ensure your important guests weren't disturbed."Zhick took the phone, and the woman was eager, thinking she would be rewarded. But instead, slap! Zhick slapped her hard. "Fool!" he cursed before smiling and walking over to Max."Mr. Crownguard, I apologize for arriving late and for the scene you had to endure. A
The Enigmatic Son-in-law Dark Arts
Max parked his car outside the training site before walking into the camp. Upon reaching the training ground, he saw six trainees in the first and second tents, their hair turned white and their bodies weak. Max could tell their life force had been drained."General! Glad you made it on time," Jed said, running towards Max, breathless, fear evident on his face."Where are the three latecomer soldiers?" Max asked immediately.Jed paused for a moment but quickly remembered that Max wasn’t an ordinary person. "General, they’re in the fourth tent. Each of them is holding another trainee, and everyone they touch ages rapidly, right before our eyes. The three become incredibly strong and fast, and we don’t know what happened. They suddenly lost control and attacked those near them. We ran as soon as we saw what was happening, but some still got caught because their speed is far from normal."Max nodded. "Don't worry, they'll return to normal," he said, and in the next instant, he disappeare

It was Max
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
