"Max," Nathan muttered, trying to keep his composure, "Do you really want me to kneel here in front of our former classmates—and Ms. Sy? Don't you think you're taking this too far?"

"Too far?" Max chuckled, tilting his head. "Weren't you the one who set the stakes yourself? Didn't you think that was a bit much?"

Everyone turned to Nathan with mocking looks, some murmuring amongst themselves.

"What's wrong, Nathan? Got nothing to say now?" one of them whispered, chuckling.

"Yeah, you're the one who started this," added another, crossing his arms. "You made the bet, Nathan, and now that you lost to Max, you're chickening out?"

Nathan's face flushed with frustration, his fists clenched as he fought the urge to lash out. The thought of kneeling to the man he had belittled so many times, to the man he despised, was humiliating enough. But licking Max's shoe? It was beyond humiliation.

Nathan's gaze shifted to Katrina, his last hope. He stepped toward her, pleading, "Ms. Sy, please... surel

    Max stepped out of the car first, holding the door open for Alexa, who climbed out and immediately gazed up at the villa before her, eyes widening. Blaine followed them out, pausing as he took in the property. For a few moments, they all stood there, quietly awed by the grand villa towering in front of them."Max, what are we doing at this villa?" Alexa asked, still unable to tear her eyes away from the place.Max, casual as ever, simply replied, "This is the villa I bought."Alexa blinked in surprise, almost as if she hadn't heard him right. She tugged at her ear, half-laughing as she clarified, "Wait—what did you just say?"Max's smile deepened. "This will be our new home."Alexa froze, staring at him in pure disbelief, glancing around at the vast grounds and trying to comprehend his words. Blaine, meanwhile, who had also been stunned into silence, finally spoke up, "Max… did you actually buy this villa?"Max nodded. Blaine looked back at the property, eyebrows raised as he murmured

  • The Enigmatic Son-in-law   Great Grandmaster

    Max turned to see a strikingly beautiful girl, probably around eighteen, standing firmly in his way. She had a cute, determined face that radiated confidence, and her shoulder-length hair was styled into a casual ponytail, with a few loose strands framing her features. She wore a fitted white blouse tucked into high-waisted jeans, her posture and expression showing she was clearly someone who didn't back down easily.Noticing Max staring at her, she scolded, "What? Don't even think about cutting in line. Just because you're trying to act cool doesn't mean you're getting any special treatment!"People in the line started murmuring and shooting him looks of disapproval. "He's probably here to cut the line," whispered a well-dressed man nearby, wearing a crisp blazer, gold watch, and polished leather shoes, looking at Max with disdain.Another person, a woman in simple, worn clothes and visibly tired from standing in line, nodded in agreement. "Some people have no shame, thinking they'r

  • The Enigmatic Son-in-law   Unusual Case

    Max leaned back comfortably, appearing completely at ease, and casually asked Cris, "So, how have you and the clinic been doing?"Cris let out a long sigh, a hint of a smile tugging at his lips. "For a second there, I thought your visit was for something far more urgent, Master."Max chuckled at his response, prompting Cris to pause and think before speaking again."Well, the clinic's been doing well overall," Cris began thoughtfully, "but recently, I encountered something... strange." He seemed hesitant to continue, as if he were still processing it himself.Max's brows knitted in curiosity. "Strange? What kind of strange?"Cris nodded, gathering his thoughts. "I've had some patients come in with normal symptoms—nothing out of the ordinary. But the nature of their conditions felt... abnormal.""How so?" Max pressed, clearly intrigued."Well," Cris replied, "at first, it was easy to treat these cases—an ordinary fever here, some mild respiratory issues there. Then, there was one patie

  • The Enigmatic Son-in-law   Double Triangle

    The man gasped, wide-eyed, and screamed as he focused on Max's face directly above him. He tried to sit up, but stumbled back onto the bed, looking as if he had just woken from a nightmare.Cris raised an eyebrow, chuckling. "Looks like he mistook you for a ghost, Master," he teased, grinning at Max.Bianca smirked, glancing at Cris. "With that face? Can't blame him. Great Grandmaster looks like he's seen a few ghosts himself," she joked, earning a playful look from Max.The man's companion, who had been treated by Cris, finally gathered his wits and reached out, placing a reassuring hand on the shoulder of his terrified friend. "Relax, you're safe," he said in a shaky but relieved voice. "We're in the Hands of Angel clinic now." At the mention of the clinic's name, the man took a few deep breaths, grounding himself and realizing he was indeed out of danger.Max, sensing the initial panic subsiding, leaned forward. "You're safe now. Can you tell us what happened? And where were you co

    Before entering the villa, Max turned to Cris and Bianca, giving them a firm instruction. "Stay in the car, and don't come near the villa gate," he said.Bianca started to ask why, but Max simply turned away. In the next moment, they watched in surprise as Max disappeared from where he stood and reappeared instantly at the villa's entrance. Cris and Bianca exchanged stunned glances, trying to process what they had just seen.Max casually stepped inside the villa, slipping past the guards without being noticed—they must have assumed he was just another guest. Inside, he saw a luxurious, spacious hall lit by golden lights from chandeliers, setting a warm tone over the gathering. "So, there's a party happening in this dark villa," Max thought, though he quickly noticed something disturbing.As Max observed the guests, he noted the dark energy subtly radiating from each of them. "These people… despite their smiles, they're burdened by something deep," he thought, sensing the heavy negativ

    Outside the villa, Bianca couldn't sit still, constantly checking the time. "Master Cris, it's been half an hour since Grand Master Max went inside. Are you sure he's okay in there by himself?" she asked, obviously worried.Cris shook his head calmly. "Relax, Bianca. You know he told us not to get involved. He knows what he's doing in there.""It's just so frustrating to wait here," Bianca muttered, tapping her foot. "Why did he have to insist that we stay back?"Cris kept his stern gaze. "He made it very clear. Master Max said not to go near the villa—it could be dangerous."Bianca sighed, leaning her head on the steering wheel. Ten more minutes passed, and she couldn't take it anymore. "I can't do this," she finally said, standing up and jumping out of the car."Wait! Bianca, what are you doing?" Cris rushed out to try to stop her, but she seemed determined, barely paying attention to his protests. "Bianca, get back here!""I'm just going to check for a minute," she whispered as the

  • The Enigmatic Son-in-law   Jumping Clowns

    Max folded his arms, chuckling as he glanced between Nathan and the woman at his side. "Nathan, don't go scaring off young ladies," he said with mock seriousness. "Besides, you've already got your own clown. Why bother anyone else?" Nathan's date looked outraged, her face twisting as she pointed at herself, practically stomping her heel into the ground. "Clown? Are you calling me a clown?" Her voice rose in pitch as she glared at Max, indignant and clearly insulted. Max just smirked, unfazed. "I mean, with the way you're dressed, it's an honest mistake. Maybe you two took a wrong turn somewhere. The circus is back down the road."Bianca let out a small, amused laugh, a soft giggle that only made Nathan and his date bristle even more. Nathan's face twisted in annoyance, but he tried to play it cool. He forced a smug grin, his eyes narrowing at Max. "Laugh it up, Max. But I can show a lady a real time—something you couldn't dream of." He turned to Bianca, attempting to turn on the cha

  • The Enigmatic Son-in-law   The Auction Has Started

    As Nathan approached, he asked Cris, "Do you actually know this guy, Max?" But before Cris could respond, Bianca interjected with a grin. "Oh, we're just that 'cult' you keep mentioning," she quipped, only to be gently nudged by Max. Max calmly said, "Don't mind the clown who's still perfecting his act." Then he handed invitation cards to Cris and Bianca, urging, "Let's head inside."Without sparing another glance at the dumbfounded Nathan, they walked toward the entrance. Nathan noticed the unique gold-black color of their invitation cards and immediately grew suspicious. He turned to his date with a smirk, "Let's follow them. I'm sure this is about to turn into a show."At the entrance, Max presented his ticket to the guard. But before the guard could accept it, Nathan stepped in, snickering. "Those tickets are fakes," he declared loudly, hoping to cause a scene. Pointing at Max's gold-black ticket, he sneered, "See that? My ticket is red—that's the standard color for a genuine inv

  • Grand Wedding

    Inside the luxurious fitting room, Max stood in front of a full-length mirror, adjusting the collar of his crisp white tuxedo. The fabric was impeccable, tailored perfectly to his frame, exuding elegance and authority. Today was the day—his wedding day.Leon, leaning casually against the wall with his hands in his pockets, watched with an amused expression. "I never thought I'd see the day, Max. The great Maximus Crownguard, nervous about a wedding."Max smirked as he attempted to fix his tie. "Who said I'm nervous?"Leon scoffed, stepping forward. "You've been fixing that tie for five minutes, and it still looks like a rookie mistake. Here, let me." He swatted Max's hands away and took over.Max chuckled. "I swear, if I didn't know better, I'd say you're enjoying this way too much."Leon smirked. "Of course, I am. It's not every day I see you in a situation where you actually need help."Max shook his head with a small laugh. "It's just a tie, Leon.""Uh-huh," Leon said, tightening t

  • Proposal

    As admiration filled the room, a sudden outburst shattered the moment."Impossible!" Bubbles screamed, standing abruptly. She pointed a trembling finger at Max. "You? You're really the Chairman?"Max simply smiled and shrugged.Bubbles collapsed into her seat, her mind unable to process the truth. "It's over…" she muttered under her breath, completely shaken.Daniel and Eugine wore identical horrified expressions. The realization hit them like a freight train—they had offended Max, and everyone had seen it. Of all the people they could have belittled, why did it have to be him? Of all the people in this grand event, why was he the Chairman? A man they had underestimated, a man whose background they never even considered. No wonder… His unwavering confidence now made perfect sense.Alfred smirked and spoke up, his voice laced with amusement. "Now do you understand why Alexa once said that Max himself is his own backup?"At that moment, everything clicked for them. The memories, the sub

  • The Man Behind

    Whispers spread like wildfire across the ballroom. Some guests exchanged incredulous glances, questioning whether the man standing before them was truly the mysterious chairman. Others furrowed their brows, murmuring about how secretive this supposed leader had been until now.Then, breaking the tension, a man approached the standing figure, offering a polite smile. "Chairman, it's an honor to finally meet you," he said, introducing himself as a representative from a prominent tech company. With a respectful bow, he extended his business card.Before the crowd could react further, another guest boldly voiced the question on everyone's mind. "Are you really the mysterious chairman?"The man scratched the back of his head, looking slightly embarrassed. "Huh? Me?" He let out a small, awkward chuckle. "No, no. I just work here. I was fixing some wires at the hotel earlier, but when the lights suddenly went out, I sat here for a bit. Now that the event's started, I should be heading out—my

  • The Mysterious Chairman

    With no other choice, Bubbles and her group reluctantly returned to their seats. They knew better than to cause a scene now that the event was about to begin. Before turning away, Bubbles shot Max a sharp glare, pointing a finger at him. "This isn't over until you apologize," she huffed, stomping back to her seat with a pout. Eugine and Daniel followed her, their expressions mixed with irritation and curiosity.As the crowd settled down, a distinguished-looking man confidently walked onto the stage. He was tall, well-groomed, and carried himself with the poise of a seasoned professional. Dressed in an impeccably tailored suit, his presence commanded attention. His name was Theodore Wright, a renowned host in high-profile elite gatherings.With a charming yet authoritative smile, he took center stage and spoke into the microphone."Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed guests from the most distinguished families and business empires, welcome to this grand evening." His deep voice carried effo

  • Pretended to be Poor

    Alexa smiled calmly before speaking. "How could Max have done it on purpose when we were in the middle of a conversation?" She then turned to Bubbles, her gaze sharp but amused. "Are you saying my husband has eyes on the back of his head?"Bubbles fell silent for a moment, caught off guard, but quickly regained her composure. "He still did it on purpose!" she insisted. "Max knew Daniel was passing by and deliberately stretched to spill the wine!"Then, with a sneer, she added, "Ms. Alexa, you don't belong with someone like Max. Your beauty and status don't match with a piece of trash like him."At that moment, Eugine stood from his seat and walked toward the scene, his voice dripping with arrogance. "Bubbles is right, Ms. Alexa." He straightened his expensive designer suit, making sure everyone was watching him. "A woman of your caliber—someone with an outstanding background, grace, and influence—should not be with someone like Max, a man with no real lineage or worth."Alexa's lips c

  • Talent Show

    Daniel smirked, swirling the red wine in his glass as he walked toward Max's group. His movements were slow, deliberate—his eyes casually scanning left and right, as if he owned the place.At the table, Eugine's grin widened in anticipation, while Bubbles, barely containing her excitement, let out a small chuckle."Someone's about to get drenched in wine," she whispered.Alfred, on the other hand, sighed, keeping his gaze fixed on Daniel. Something felt off.As Daniel finally reached Max's back, his smirk deepened. He raised the glass, prepared to tip the wine over Max's head—PAK!Max casually scratched his head, his elbow knocking Daniel's arm at just the right moment. The glass slipped, and the entire drink spilled onto Daniel's own suit."Agh! My designer suit!" Daniel shouted in shock.At the table, Bubbles gasped, covering her mouth in disbelief. Eugine's smirk froze, while Alfred simply remained expressionless.All eyes turned toward the commotion. Max slowly turned around, bli

  • Stepping forward as the Chairman

    Caleb's eyes fluttered open, his vision adjusting to the unfamiliar ceiling above him. The memory of Max's punch hit him like a thunderclap. His eyes widened in shock."Damn it!" he gasped, suddenly bolting upright—CRACK.A sharp pain shot through his lower back, making him yelp. "Agh! My back!" He clutched his waist, his face contorted in agony.It was then that he realized something even worse. His once-powerful, youthful body… was gone. He was back to his true, aged self. Not only that, but his strength was completely drained, leaving him as weak as an ordinary human.Caleb's confusion deepened when he noticed the bright, refined surroundings. His palace was nowhere in sight. His brows knitted together as he scanned the room, his mind racing.Then, his gaze landed on Max.Sitting calmly at a tea table, sipping from an elegant cup, Max smirked at him."Yo."A chill ran down Caleb's spine. He clenched his fists, his nostrils flaring as he pointed at Max."YOU—!"Before he could fini

  • Making him my Servant

    As their fists remained locked, Caleb laughed, dark energy pulsating from his body like tendrils of smoke."Is this really your full power, Maximus?" he taunted. "You feel weaker than usual. Did you skip lunch or something?"Max smirked, unfazed. "How could I eat lunch, Caleb? You decided to cause chaos in Pampanga first thing in the morning."Caleb chuckled. "Ah, my bad. I forgot you had cooking duties."Max sighed dramatically. "See? This is all your fault. And for that, I'll make sure you serve me once this is over."Before Caleb could respond, they both vanished, their figures flickering like lightning.BOOM!They reappeared mid-air, their fists colliding once more, sending out shockwaves of golden and black energy. The force shattered nearby stone pillars, and the ground beneath them cracked from the sheer intensity of their clash.CRACK!
