Mario and his boys, along with Tasha, turned in the direction of the voice to find Max standing at the gates with a cold look in his eyes. “Sir Cage.” Tasha breathed out, torn between joy at the fact that someone had come to help her and fear that Mario and his men might end up killing Max. After all, even though he was capable of protecting himself, Mario had over twenty subordinates with him. How would Max be able to take on so many people at the same time? “Let her go.” Max calmly said as he stood at the gates of Tasha's home, his gaze fixated on Mario and his cronies. Mario chuckled as he replied. “Did you hear that, boys?... He wants us to let the girl go.” “Boss, I think he's trying to be a hero and save the girl.” “Maybe he hopes that she'd fall in love with him after.” Mario's subordinates said in mocking tones while sharing a good laugh. Max didn't bother responding as he shifted his attention to Tasha. “Sir Cage, run away, don't worry about me, I'll be f

Once inside the company building, Meredith was about to head to Max's office, hoping to get some work done before Max returned, only to receive unexpected news from the receptionist.“Madam, Ms. Natasha Cavendish has requested to meet with the boss. She is currently waiting in the conference hall.” Meredith frowned as she couldn't help but wonder why Natasha was here, but was well aware of the fact that she couldn't ignore her, let out a sigh as she remarked. “Lead the way.”She'd have to figure it out before Max's return.***Tasha paced back and forth in the hospital hallway while waiting for the doctor to finish checking up on her mother.Max could understand her worries after all, her mother was just recently discharged and already had to return to the hospital.Thankfully, he had arrived when he did, else who knew what could have happened.Taking a deep breath, he got to his feet and grabbed Tasha's wrist, jolting her from her troubled thoughts.“Calm down, Tasha, everything wil

It was already midnight and Brittany wasn't home yet, leaving Max quite worried as he paced around in the living room.He tried her number a few times but it didn't go through, further increasing his worries.In his past life, Brittany had committed suicide after being violated in a conspiracy orchestrated by her friends and some men who had been eyeing her for quite some time.For that reason, Max had been intending to speak to her about being wary of her friends.Unfortunately, he'd ended up forgetting to do so due to the amount of work he had to handle.He was worried that his actions might have caused changes to the progression of events, which meant he had to be extra cautious, else the future might just end up repeating itself, and that was something he couldn't let happen.With no other choice, he decided to track her phone only to discover that it was switched off, which made it impossible to do so.Just then, Sarah made an appearance in the living room. “You are still awake?”

The next day, the news quickly spread of the death of Arturo Sanchez, which naturally caught the corporate world by storm.No one expected such news, and so, they could only wonder what had caused his death.Naturally, the most shaken by the news was the Sanchez family themselves who had lost their heir.Currently, most members of the family were gathered in the main hall with Arturo’s body placed on a pedestal at the center of the hall.Dressed in white clothes, they were all in mourning with Arturo's mother, crying the loudest as she held onto the corpse of her son. Carlos stood to the side accompanied by Inspector Martin.“Have you found the culprit?” Carlos asked with Martin replying.“Not yet, but we have reason to believe that it was Maximilian Augustus.”“What?... That bastard did this?”“Most likely, though we don't have solid proof.”“What do you mean you don't have solid proof?... Doesn't Hotel La Casa have cameras?”“They do, but the penthouse that Arturo was found in had

“The Sanchez family?” Max raised a brow, having not expected that they would be ballsy enough to do something so stupid.Didn't they consider what would happen if their man was caught?No, perhaps they had other things in place.Almost like he'd heard Max's thoughts, the guard spoke up. “Also, we found this at the office and underneath your car.”As he spoke, he pulled out two bombs that had already been turned to duds.Max's expression cooled considerably as he saw this.So this was why they weren't worried about their man getting caught.They planned to really kill him.Thankfully, he'd anticipated such an act and had ordered another car to pick him up.Taking a deep breath, Max remarked. “Set up a meeting with the head of the Crows.”“Sir?” The guards exchanged looks, unsure of why Max would suddenly bring up that organization.“Just do as I say,” Max said.In his past life, the Sanchez family was quite close with The Crows, so there was no reason why they wouldn't reach out to the
