A tall man approached them, and Richard immediately ran towards the man who entered. "Brother, you finally arrived," he said before looking at Max and pointing, "that man had the courage to try and take my woman," he grinned. Some in the crowd shouted, "Isn't he the strongest fighter of the Knuckle Gang?!" "Oh yes, he's often seen with Deric when they go out." "Uh-oh, and this kid here, he really provoked the cousin of the top fighter of the Knuckle Gang." Richard had a smug look on his face, "That's right, my cousin is the top fighter of the Knuckle Gang—" "Master, how are you? I never expected to see you again so soon," Kent kneeled on one knee and clasped his hands. "Stand up," Max calmly said, "looks like all your wounds are gone, huh?" He said with a smile. Kent stood up and nodded, "yes, I've recovered greatly and my strength has also increased, thanks to your help, master." "Mas--master?!" Richard was surprised, "brother, are you mistaken? Do you know him as so
The whole venue fell silent, Mr. Santos and Mr. Sotto were stunned by what they saw, and they felt a new sense of hope."Forgive us, Divine Doctor, for having doubts," Mr. Santos humbly asked for forgiveness, traces of regret visible on his face."This medicine is truly miraculous at 40%, what more with 100%?" Mr. Sotto exclaimed, eagerly anticipating."Please be seated, gentlemen," Cris said with a smile before giving the next patient their dose of medicine. The wealthy individuals in the venue watched carefully, not blinking or even breathing as each event unfolded. The effectiveness of the medicine depended on the duration and extent of damage to a person's body. After curing the last patient's lingering illness, Cris announced, "This tablet will be called the 'all cure medicine,' although it can heal any ailment, it is only available for purchase at Gonzales Pharmaceutical and Mr. Collins' store with a prescription. Next month, this medicine will be released to the market, and we
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 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
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
"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
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
