"Master, aren't things just going to get chaotic?" Tiger asked, breaking the silence; the worry in his eyes could be seen."Don't worry, we are not going to let it get out of hand," Max chuckled, shaking his head."First, we have a series of problems at hand," Max continued, his eyes narrowing into a thin line."My memories appear to be fake, so I need to unseal them and know exactly what I've been missing. Second, I need to know why exactly the army heads were among the culprits that had assassinated my parents. And the last point, I want to understand why Amelia and I are not related."Tiger nodded, hearing all of this. But the last point would be solved once the master recovered his memories.But how was the master going to do that?Max sighed and rested his head on the sofa, closing his eyes. He was a bit disappointed in the army heads.If they were truly among the culprits, then he wouldn't mind wiping them out. Also, from the looks of things, they were not clean either.As for a

Alice stood up slowly, her gaze landing on Max, then Tiger, and then the others.After a while, she began to speak slowly, her voice steady."According to the rumors I'm hearing, they keep saying the master is too powerful and thus are looking for ways to take his power from him.""I don't know much about this, but there's a piece of information I heard," she carried on, her voice containing a hint of certainty."The war that happened at the border was all staged; it was all part of their plans to pull out the master's forces and weaken his strength.""After they are done, they'll force you to come out and send you away on another mission.""This time, it would be an ambush.""And even if you were not killed in the ambush, you would be severely injured; once you are, there would be no one to take control anymore; that way, they would be able to easily plant spies.""Once they do, even if you recover, they would already have their spies among your men; that way, there would be no way y

Max stood outside the Villa, staring at the skies, his heart in a turmoil.Now he would be forced to leave the place had always believed was home. Though he didn't want to leave, but currently, he had no other choice.His family still needed protection, he had people to protect.Those old men didn't want to see all of that, all they were seeing was their benefits.If they were scared of his military power, they could ask him to disband. Though he was sure he wouldn't have agreed easily, at this point, he would have to agree.His men were humans, they were not pawns in anyone's games.But then again, those old men seemed to have made a mistake. Even without his men, he would be able to still deal with them if he wanted to.His Cultivation? He didn't know how strong he was currently.The seal in his memory was now nothing, but a fragile piece of paper he could tear apart at any time. But he wasn't ready to know the truth.What would happen if he knew the truth? Would be able to control

168: The Old Men The elevator rode up to the top floor smoothly, making a soft dinging sound as it came to a complete stop. The doors slid open, revealing a long, wide corridor. Unlike the lower floors, there were no guards standing here. The silence in the hallway was absolute, but anyone with a bit of strength could tell that the air was filled with a thick, suffocating tension. Max stepped out of the elevator casually, his hands tucked into his pockets, his face completely calm. Riley stepped out right behind him, her posture upright and full of unshakeable confidence. They walked down the corridor, their footsteps making no sound at all. At the very end of the hallway stood a massive set of double doors. This was the main office of the high command. Max didn't bother to knock. He reached out his hand, turned the knob, and pushed the heavy doors open with a gentle nudge. Inside the office, the room was vast and luxurious. Sitting around a semicircular desk were the army he

170: Heading BackAfter enjoying a hearty meal of grilled meat at the alleyway stall, Max and Riley walked back into the dark alleyway.Max didn't waste any time, he casually raised his hand, his fingers slicing through the empty air as his immortal Qi surged forward, cutting open the void once again.He grabbed Riley’s shoulder gently, and with a single step, the two of them walked straight in. The space closed behind them instantly, leaving the quiet alley completely empty.A second later, the void opened up inside the base. Max and Riley stepped out.The air didn't even ripple, and there was no sound at all as they returned. Max tucked his hands back into his pockets, his face looking completely relaxed, while Riley immediately checked her tablet to ensure the security systems of the stronghold were still fully operational."Master, you're back," a deep, booming voice came from the doorway.Tiger walked into the room, his massive frame filling the space easily. He looked a bit tire
