"Are you sure about that?" Max narrowed his brows, staring at the boy who seemed to be talking with all he had."Yes, sir," Allen nodded, voice firm and expression resolute."Alright, let's see if that's the case," Tiger spoke, taking over from Max."Huh?" Allen froze, blinking, not understanding what was happening.But before he could think too much about it, an oppressive wave of aura shot out from Tiger and landed onto him directly.Allen's body twitched and his knees buckled slightly as he was forced towards the ground.Gritting his teeth, he fought back against the pressure; sweat covered his back in less than a second as he fought against the pressure.Though he didn't know what was happening and where the pressure was coming from, he knew it was Max and Tiger who were testing him.Actually, it was only Tiger who was testing him, and this was only just a little bit of his aura.The reason Max didn't do it was because his aura was far more oppressive than that of Tiger's.It coul

The sitting room was a large one. The sofas sat neatly arranged in such a way one would be able to watch the television no matter where one stood.The dining room was cut from the sitting room, and it was at the far end, quite noticeable.On the sofa sat Lith, Luke, and Allen's father; all had their attention on Allen, who had just walked in with Max and Tiger."How dare you bring strangers in here?" Lith exploded into fury, glaring at Allen before her gaze fell onto Max and Tiger.Seeing Max, her eyes widened, and she gasped, her body shaking, not believing her eyes.Then she took a look at Tiger also, and froze. "What were these two doing here?"She still couldn't forget it was these two who made the head of Education act submissively to them."Allen...""Stay quiet, lady; we didn't come to have a fight with you," Tiger interrupted her, walking towards the sofa with Max, who sat while he stood with Allen by the side.Luke was no different from his mother. He was shaking like a leaf

"Let me take you back home," Tiger suggested, preparing to head out with Max."Don't worry about that, focus on the little guy first," Max refused, stopping Tiger."Farewell," he said, stepping out of the house, leaving Tiger who had no other choice but to listen to what Max had said.Max, on the other hand, sighed the moment he stepped outside. He was quite tired and needed some rest.After everything, it was almost nighttime. And knowing his wife's personality, she might try to work overtime.Well, he was not going to support her. Besides, she would soon be kicked out of the company.But then, he had to do that, else those ungrateful family of hers would continue to force her to do what she didn't want.Sighing, he pushed the thoughts to the back of his mind and prepared to head back home first to check on Rose and Amelia when his phone rang.Pulling out the phone, he glanced briefly at the Caller's ID before answering the call."Master," Aria's voice came from the other end of the

"Fiona, do you want to deny the fact that you didn't sell your shares?" Bruce continued, his attention fully now on Fiona.Max also retracted his aura and stood beside Fiona. He knew they would try to bully her if he didn't do anything about it. Well, he was not going to allow that to happen.Without a word, he walked over to Fiona, holding her hands, squeezing them gently."Don't be scared," he whispered,"At most, they'll ask you to leave."Fiona felt her chest tighten when she heard that. She thought Max was going to get mad at her.After all, she didn't tell him about something that important. It seemed like she was wrong."I did sell my shares, but then, I had to do that because we lacked funds, and the banks were not willing to give out loans," Fiona sucked in a cold breath and spoke slowly."That's not a reason for you to sell your shares," Bruce sneered, tapping his cane furiously on the floor."You could have told me or your uncle; we would have tried to help out. But rather

The cold night wind swept through the streets of Orange City as Max's figure moved silently through the darkness like a phantom.His expression was calm, yet beneath that calmness hid a terrifying storm.The scene of Fiona kneeling emotionally before Bruce replayed repeatedly in his mind, causing the temperature around him to drop unconsciously.The old man truly dared.Not only had they pushed every responsibility onto Fiona, they had even forced her to beg after stripping away everything she had built with her own hands.If not because he wanted Fiona to completely see the true faces of her family, he would have crushed Bruce and Dan inside that office long ago.Still, despite everything, hearing Fiona plead with tears in her eyes had nearly caused him to lose control.The only thing stopping him from acting was the bigger picture.Soon enough, his phone vibrated softly inside his pocket.Without slowing down, Max pulled it out and answered immediately."Master," Aria's respectful v
