(The Next Day)"Dad, dad, what are we doing today?" Little Rose pouted, looking at Max who was feeding her at the dining."Where did you want to go?" Max smiled, rubbing the little girl's hair. He was going to do anything to make his daughter happy."Let's go to the park, zoo and let's have some ice cream," the little girl listed out a list of activities at the same time, her eyes gleaming with excitement."Sure," Max agreed without a second thought.He was going to be with his daughter, so he didn't mind. All he actually wanted was to be with her in the first place."Are you coming along?" Max turned to Fiona who was sitting on the couch watching the TV."I happen to be busy, you guys can go ahead on your own," Zoey answered without turning around.As for Max and Rose, she knew Rose would be safe with Max. It was guaranteed, so she didn't worry."Mum..." The little girl protested, seeing Fiona say she wasn't going to come."Why aren't you going to come to the park with us?""Because

Max disappeared from his original position almost instantly.Before anyone could even react properly, his figure had already appeared directly in front of Rose.The two out-of-control vehicles spun violently across the ground as sparks flew everywhere. The sound of twisting metal echoed loudly while terrified screams continued erupting throughout the park.Rose stood frozen completely.At the same moment, Max bent slightly, lifted Rose into his arms, then stretched out his free hand calmly toward the incoming SUV.Boom!His palm landed directly on the bonnet, the terrifying momentum instantly stopped.The entire front of the vehicle caved inward violently beneath his hand as though crushed by an invisible mountain. Metal twisted loudly while the tires screeched against the ground before finally coming to a complete halt less than two meters away from him.Dust and smoke spread everywhere. Silence instantly descended across the surrounding area.Several nearby people stared blankly at

Afternoon sunlight stretched warmly across the bustling streets as the black luxury vehicle moved smoothly through traffic before eventually slowing near the private academy entrance.Inside the car, the atmosphere remained calm and quiet.Max sat casually in the back seat while calmly observing the surroundings outside the tinted window, his expression carrying the same indifferent composure as always. Beside the driver's seat, Tiger remained alert despite his outwardly relaxed appearance, his sharp eyes occasionally sweeping across the school surroundings carefully without missing even the slightest suspicious movement.Although the school gate appeared peaceful and lively with students leaving campus in groups while chatting happily among themselves, Tiger had already stationed several men discreetly around the area earlier without attracting attention.To ordinary people, everything looked completely normal.But beneath that normal appearance, invisible protection had already surr

Max froze, the document in his hand trembling slightly as his mind went blank for a few seconds.At that moment, the entire Villa turned silent, so silent that even the ticking sound of the clock on the wall felt unusually loud.Tiger subconsciously lowered his head further while Maya clenched her fists tightly, prepared for Max to explode in anger or perhaps even disbelief.After all, for the past few days, they had both been nervous about this exact moment.No matter how calm Max usually appeared, this matter involved his family.Anyone would lose control after suddenly hearing such news.But contrary to what they expected, Max merely sat there quietly, his gaze fixed on the documents in his hands while countless thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning.He remembered Amelia's birth clearly.He remembered waiting anxiously outside the hospital room while his father paced around nervously.He remembered his mother's exhausted but happy smile after Amelia was born.He remember

Max frowned slightly, pulling out his phone, wondering who was calling him. He was not expecting any call.Glancing at the ID, he answered the call, seeing it was Riley."Sir..." Riley's voice came from the other end of the phone, sounding rather urgent."What's wrong, Riley?" Max frowned slightly, wondering why she sounded so anxious."Sir, there's an unrest at the border," Riley reported, heading straight to the point.The matter was far more serious than what she had discussed with him other times, and also, he needed to hear it before those higher-ups would call him.As long as he understood what she was trying to do, everything else would be signified."What's happening?" Max's expression instantly turned ugly as he asked, his voice a bit hoarse."The details are still a bit unclear to me.""But the higher-ups should know better what's happening.""Wait for my call then," Max immediately understood the message and ended the call.Tiger and Maya glanced at each other.
