When Max arrived home at seven in the evening, he saw his wife dressed beautifully as if she was about to go somewhere, "Where are you off to, dear?" Max asked."Our high school class monitor messaged me, we have a reunion at the Phoenix Grand Hotel," Alexa replied as she approached Max.'The Phoenix Grand Hotel? As far as I know, it's under the Crownguard Group,' Max thought.Seeing the items Max was carrying, Alexa, curious, asked, "Honey, what's that?"Max smiled and said, "I didn't give you much when we got married," then he took out the Swan Pearl bag and handed it to his wife.Alex's eyes lit up with joy as she looked at the beautiful bag her husband handed her, feeling warmth in her heart, she hugged Max and thanked him, "Thank you, my love.""Hey, my good son-in-law, you even know the right time to come home," Alicia, his mother-in-law, shouted before scolding Max. But before she could reprimand Max, Max took out another bag and gave it to Alicia, "Mom, this is for you," he ca
Danica laughed before glaring at Max and angrily said, "Fake? You, who looks like a security guard, if this is fake, are you saying that your wife's bag is real? Then pointed to Alexa."Max just shrugged and said nothing. There was no need for Max to explain himself as he was the one who purchased the original bag.Seeing Max quiet demeanor, Danica thought that the bag held by Alexa was indeed fake. Irritated, she pointed at Max and said, "If you can't prove what you're saying, perhaps you should just stay quiet?" She widened her eyes before continuing in a frustrated tone, "You stinky security guard!""My bag may be an imitation, but it seems to be better made than yours," Alexa calmly remarked as she compared the two bags.Danica chuckled with irritation, saying, "You're the one who said that the bag you're carrying is an imitation. How did your bag end up better than mine?" With a smug grin, she said as she raised the bag in front of Alexa.Alexa remained silent, shrugging indiffer
Upon entering the private room, one could see that some classmates had already gathered there. The scene with Danica trying to win over Ramil could also be observed.As soon as the group entered, a man dressed in a red Armani suit approached and greeted them, "Class monitor, you still look beautiful as ever." The man then glanced up and down at Shantal with a sly look before continuing, "Not only beautiful, but your body has also become more sexier," as he licked his lips and looked at Shantal's chest."You're flattering me too much, young master White," Shantal calmly replied, seemingly accustomed to the man's behavior.The group began to walk inside, but as they took a step, the man blocked their path. "Oops, class monitor, you may enter and sit down, but I haven't seen these two beauties for a long time," he said, looking at Alexa and Vivian with desire."Robert White, is this a class reunion or a club that allows you to block the girls you like?" Vivian coldly responded."Your tem
"I apologize, I made a mistake, I didn't recognize the-" before Robert could finish speaking, Max suddenly interrupted, "Mr. White, why are you kneeling? Did you slip?" He was given a stern look, sending chills down his spine.Robert immediately stood up and brushed off his knees, pretending to inspect the floor. "Oh, yes, yes, I slipped," Robert said, wiping off the cold sweat.Others thought Robert really kneeled before someone like Max, but they soon realized he just slipped before they turned to Max with a hint of disgust."Young master White, what happened? Why does your father seem angry?" Shan asked.Robert did not speak, but it was Max who spoke, "I just sent a message to my friend about an employee who gained access to Crownguard Group using the backdoor and reported it to the company President," as he fished out his phone showing that he sent a message to a contact named comrade."Oh, your friend? Your new boss?" Alexa curiously asked.Max nodded without elaborating. Shan gl
Shan approached with a smile, "Young Master White, you seem to be in a good mood. Can you still get me into the Crownguard Group?" he asked hopefully.Robert, looking annoyed, glared at Shan before kicking him in the stomach, "Back off, do you really want to kill me?!" he scolded angrilyShan felt embarrassed and wondered what he had done wrong. He looked at Max, his anger rising, and sat down holding his aching stomach, promising to get revenge on Max.When Ramil saw the anger in Shan's eyes, Ramil approached and whispered, "Do you want to teach that garbage a lesson?"Shan looked back before asking, "Do you know a way, boss Ramil?" Ramil grinned before calling the waiter and whispering a few words, Shan understood what Ramil wanted to do, so he gave a menacing look.After a while, the waiter returned with two bottles of alcohol. He respectfully handed the drink to Ramil before leaving. This alcohol had a very high alcohol content; just a few glasses could make a person with an avera
Max smiled before saying, "Yo, how are you?"Both of them felt embarrassed, especially Shan, because his butt still hurts until now. "You trash! You'll pay for what you did a hundred times over!" Ramil angrily shouted.Max pretended not to know anything before innocently saying, "I did? What did I do?" then pointing at himself."You!" Shan said angrily.Max smirked annoyingly before saying, "Oh, I remember now, Mr. Ramil, Mr. Shan, how was the taste of a man?" before laughing."You have the nerve to hurt me!" Ramil yelled.Max shrugged and said nothing."Max, get ready, my brother is coming to bury you," Ramil angrily said.Max grinned before asking, "Brother?""That's right, Ramil's brother is Skull," Shan proudly said."Oh, your brother-in-law?" Max said before bursting into laughter.Shan blushed with embarrassment and clenched his fists, wanting to strike the trash in front of him."Just laugh as long as you want, because this will be your last laugh," Ramil said coldly.Max looke
Bang!The gate of the subdivision flew, surprising the people around with the sudden flight of the gate, made of strong and solid steel. But what surprised them were the two people in front of the gate.They were amazed at what they saw because it was indeed people who made the gate fly. One man had his feet raised while his companion looked shocked. The onlookers also showed surprise and fear. They immediately raised their holding axes, but they were still not in their senses and just stared at the two figures in front of them'Ah, I did not know that Master's physical strength could also be frightening, fortunately I did not fight against him,' Robert thought before being pleased that his decision was right.Max looked at the stunned Robert before calmly saying, "Let's go, what are you doing still staring blankly?" He then stepped into the subdivision.It was only then that Robert snapped out of it and nodded before raising his axe and charging at the people with raised axes but sti
Back then, a member of gang told Robert that Arthur sent someone to kill him, so he left the hospital and hid inside their house for a long time. This is also why he did not work at Crownguard Group even though his father was the HR manager.He hasn't experienced walking carelessly on the streets again because he might still be hunted by Arthur's men, so he is always careful when he is outside. Now Max was behind him, it was the opportunity he was waiting for to reclaim his former property and the freedom of his mind.The two climbed the arena, "Now you can't repeat your dirty tactics," Robert said with a grin.Arthur grinned back, "You were gone for so long, and during that whole time, I didn't stop training," he boasted.Robert glanced at the two armed men before making a mocking remark, "You really brought guards just to make sure the gang members will follow you, how embarrassing."Arthur laughed, "Stubborn people deserve to suffer," he said before giving a menacing look.Robert c
Zoren's glare could have burned a hole through Max, but it only seemed to amuse him further. Max let out a relaxed sigh, pointing the branch at Zoren like a teacher scolding a stubborn child."So, are we done here, or do you want me to embarrass you even more?"Zoren clenched his fists, but there was hesitation in his eyes now. His men groaned on the ground behind him, holding their bruises and glaring at Max with disbelief and fear.Sean, watching from the sidelines, swallowed hard, his earlier excitement replaced by unease."Y-You're a freak…" Sean muttered under his breath.Max grinned, resting the branch on his shoulder. "No, Sean. I'm just someone you shouldn't have messed with."Sean's face twisted in anger as he laughed maniacally, trying to muster his courage. He took a step forward as if to charge, but his confidence faltered when his eyes darted to Zoren's men writhing in pain on the ground. His movements stilled, his earlier bravado replaced with uncertainty.Zoren let out
Max stood still, a faint smirk on his face as the first thug rushed at him, throwing a wild punch aimed directly at his jaw. With a slight tilt of his head, Max avoided the blow entirely, his feet never leaving their spot.The thug blinked, confused at how effortlessly his attack was dodged. Another man immediately charged in, this time aiming a kick at Max's side. Max merely shifted his torso, letting the kick slice through empty air."Is this all you've got?" Max asked, his tone light and mocking.Frustrated grunts came from the group as another thug swung a metal rod, aiming to hit Max's shoulder. Without breaking a sweat, Max leaned backward, the rod missing him by mere inches. The attacker stumbled forward, thrown off balance, and Max didn't even glance at him."Hey, careful with that thing," Max teased, his voice laced with sarcasm. "You might hurt someone. Maybe even yourself."The thugs exchanged nervous glances but steeled themselves. Two came at him simultaneously—one aiming
After resolving the commotion, several students approached Max, expressing their admiration and gratitude."Thank you for standing up for us," one said earnestly."That was amazing! You were so cool back there!" added another, their voice filled with awe.Max simply nodded, offering them a small smile before turning to check on Rose and Lily, who had just come down to meet him.Rose and Lily hurried over, concern and curiosity etched on their faces."How did you get there so fast?" Rose asked, still puzzled by Max's sudden appearance earlier.Max shrugged nonchalantly. "I came down earlier and waited for the right moment. You just didn't notice because everyone's attention was on Oscar," he explained casually.Lily nodded, impressed. "Oh, so that's how it was. You're amazing, though," she said, her admiration clear as a slight blush crept onto her cheeks.In truth, Max couldn't reveal that his movements were faster than an ordinary human's, making it seem like he had teleported. He si
The thugs regrouped, their expressions a mix of frustration and embarrassment. Oscar barked at them angrily, "What are you waiting for? Get him!"One of the thugs muttered under his breath, "Easier said than done…" but they all hesitated before reluctantly charging at Max again.This time, Max tilted his head slightly, as if deciding on something. Then, with a swift movement, he sidestepped the first thug, delivered a light tap to the back of his head, and followed up with a playful smack on the thug's behind using the thug's own bat.The thug froze mid-motion, his eyes wide in shock. "What the—did he just…?"Before he could finish, Max spun around to face the second thug, dodged his clumsy attack, and gave him the same treatment—a loud smack to the rear.The sound echoed across the courtyard, followed by stunned silence and then an eruption of laughter from the students watching from the buildings above."H-he's spanking them!" one student burst out, clutching their stomach.Even Ros
Before Rose's tears could fall and before Lily's anger could fully erupt, they both froze at the sight in front of them. Their expressions shifted to one of shock and disbelief.Oscar noticed the change on their faces and assumed they were overcome with fear. With a smug grin, he turned to look at the teacher, expecting a lifeless body. But as he turned, he froze in place.Standing in front of the teacher was a man, holding the baseball bat with his hand. It hadn't landed on the teacher. Instead, it had been stopped effortlessly, as if it weighed nothing.Oscar's eyes widened in shock. "Who the hell are you?!" he barked, his voice laced with confusion and anger.The thug who had swung the bat staggered back, fear plastered on his face. He knew how sturdy that bat was—yet the man holding it didn't seem fazed at all. Before anyone could react further, the man clenched his fist and crushed the bat into splinters."W-what?! How is that possible?!" one student whispered in disbelief."Wait
From the front doors of the campus, a large figure emerged, stepping purposefully into the chaos. It was one of the PE teachers, a man with a stout build and a noticeable belly, but his stern expression and commanding presence made it clear he wasn't someone to be trifled with. "What's going on here?!" he bellowed, his voice echoing across the courtyard. Oscar glanced at the teacher with mild disinterest, a smug grin plastered on his face. "And who's this?" he mocked. "The campus babysitter?" Ignoring the jab, the teacher stopped a few feet away from Oscar's group, crossing his arms. "You're on private property, causing a disturbance, and endangering students. Leave now, or I'll call security and the police." Oscar chuckled, leaning lazily against his bike. "You think I'm scared of you or your little threats? Nah. We're here for Rose, and we're not leaving until she comes down." The teacher's eyes hardened, his patience wearing thin. "Violence has no place here. You're tresp
Max, Rose, and Lily returned to their classroom for their next lecture. The students filed in, taking their seats, while Max casually walked to his desk, drawing subtle glances from almost everyone.As the professor prepared to start the lesson, a few of their classmates approached Max, their curiosity evident."Hey, Max," one girl began, shyly tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. "Where did you transfer from?"Max looked up, his expression calm yet inviting. "A small town in the province," he replied with an easy smile.Another girl chimed in, her cheeks slightly pink. "Is it true you're on a scholarship? That must mean you're really smart!"Max chuckled softly, shaking his head. "I just try my best, that's all."The casual humility in his voice only seemed to endear him further to the girls, who exchanged excited whispers as they walked back to their seats, their faces flushed and hearts racing.Meanwhile, Lily slumped in her seat, her chin resting on her hand. She glanced at Ma
However, several moments passed, and Lily still didn't feel the impact of the punch. Slowly, she opened her eyes, only to see Sean's fist mere inches from her face, frozen in mid-air. Her gaze shifted, and there was Max, holding Sean's wrist effortlessly, his expression calm yet resolute.Badum!Lily's heart skipped a beat as she took in the sight of Max. He looked undeniably handsome, his calm demeanor contrasting sharply with Sean's rage. ‘He's so hot,' she thought, her hand reflexively clutching her chest to steady her suddenly erratic heartbeat.Max sighed softly. "You're really going to pick a fight with a woman?" he said coolly before pushing Sean's arm back with a controlled motion.Sean stumbled backward, clutching his wrist with a mix of irritation and shock. His face twisted into a snarl as he barked at Max, "Mind your own business!"Max tilted his head slightly, smirking. "Business? I didn't realize you had any worth minding," he teased, his words striking a nerve.The insu
As the three approached, Waren stepped forward, his sharp gaze locking onto Max before curling into a confident grin. He greeted Rose and Lily with a casual nod."Rose, Lily," he said smoothly, his tone friendly yet laced with arrogance. His eyes shifted to Max, sizing him up. "And who's this?"Rose answered, her voice polite but firm. "This is Max. He's a transfer student."Waren nodded, his gaze lingering on Max. "Transfer student, huh?" he muttered. Then, turning his attention back to Rose, he asked, "Have you registered for the sports fest yet?"Rose nodded. "I did earlier. It's going to be three teams competing this year, right?"Waren's grin widened at the mention of additional competition. "Three teams, huh? Doesn't matter who they are," he said with a cocky laugh. "I'll crush them all, same as always."To emphasize his confidence, Waren suddenly executed a spinning kick, the sound of his foot slicing through the air echoing in the gym. The display was sharp and precise, making
