Inside the car, Shan stepped hard on the accelerator, "Die, die!" He shouted while laughing maniacally.He just happened to pass by this route on his way home because it was a fast way, unexpectedly he saw Max walking so he thought of seeking revenge. As he got closer, his laughter grew louder, feeling that only by killing Max could he ease the anger and embarrassment he felt.He was just about to hit Max, but when he did, he hit nothing and Max vanished into the thin air. The smile disappeared from his face and he immediately stepped on the brakes, the car skidded a few meters before coming to a stop.Shan got out of the car and looked around like a madman, "Where did he go?!" He rubbed his eyes, "He's gone? How did he disappear?!" He exclaimed in anger.Suddenly, he laughed like a madman, "Am I hallucinating?" He asked himself while laughing and thinking that he was going crazy with extreme hatred towards Max. "Are you looking for me?" a deep and cold voice suddenly echoed behind h
The woman who shouted was none other than Shantal. Arrogantly, Shantal walked, "What are you doing here?" she asked in a condescending tone."I am here to—" before Max could finish his sentence, Shantal interrupted, "Oh, you're here to apply. Are you applying for a security guard position or a janitor?"'This woman thinks differently,' Max thought to himself. "No," Max said.Shantal grinned, "Besides these positions, are there any other positions that would suit you?" she said, sounding belittling.Max was getting tired of arguing and just wanted to go inside to get the contract. As he took a step, Shantal arrogantly stepped in front of him, "Are you deaf or just stupid? I'm asking you," she said irritably."What concern is it of yours what I do here?" Max asked coolly.Shantal paused briefly before laughing, "Hey, do you see yourself in the mirror? You're just casually entering Crownguard Group. Do you think you can come in and out of here as you please?""It's not a bad thing to adm
"Vivian, I know you are a good friend of my wife, so as a gift, I hope you don't take offense at the position assigned to you. Don't worry, this position is based on your abilities and you are qualified for it," Max said casually. "And don't tell anyone who I really am," he added."Why don't you want to tell Alexa that you are the chairman of Crownguard Group?" Vivian asked curiously after recovering."It's not the right time yet, and it's a long story," Max said before taking another sip of tea, "but I hope Vivian will keep this secret," he said with a smile.Vivian couldn't make sense of what was happening, but she simply nodded. Max smiled before gesturing that he could leave.Vivian left the room, still unable to digest the truth in front of her. She slapped her face and felt a pang on her cheek, 'damn, it's real,' she whispered to herself before walking away....Below the office, outside the conference room where the interview was taking place."Ms. Cole, it's your turn," called
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
