cultivation through artifacts

Maximus Crownguard hails from an unknown origin shrouded in mystery, known to be of humble beginnings as the son-in-law of a second-rate family. "Ma, where is Alexa?" he asked as he walked into the living room. The woman glared at Max and replied sharply, "Where else do you think my daughter would go other than work?" ------ Feeling a strange sense of foreboding, he nervously opened the message, but all it said was, "[Help]." He looked at his mother-in-law and coldly said, "Ma, where is Alexa?" as he exuded a deadly aura. The old woman didn't know why she felt a sense of danger when she saw the cold look in Maximus' eyes, so she blurted out without realizing, "She's at Chable Star Entertainment, she signed a contract with Mr. Chen." ------ "Who are you?!" Mr. Chen screamed in fear. The man turned and walked slowly towards Mr. Chen, saying, "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is I will end your evil deeds." Mr. Chen's eyes widened as he saw the man's cold face and felt as if he was facing the God of Death. Suddenly, he felt excruciating pain in his right hand, realizing the man had crushed it. ------ "No problem, Mr. Crownguard. But which company are you planning to acquire?" the man inquired again. With a joyous smile, Max replied smoothly, "I want to acquire Chable Star Entertainment."
