In Morow State, Lanua City, at the Nexxon Villa. “Mr. Maximillian Knight, you are under arrest for allegations of multiple crimes: embezzlement, bribery, and prostitution!” One of the police officer declared firmly, breaking the silence of the night. Max stood at the doorway of his luxurious villa, his eyes sharply fixed on the two officers dressed in dark blue uniforms who had just arrived. “Are you sure you’ve come to the right place?” Max asked coldly, suspecting they had the wrong person. His voice was flat, though he was inwardly puzzled. The taller officer, wearing sunglasses, held up a document. “We’ve received an official report implicating you in these serious crimes. We need to take you to the station for further investigation.” Max raised an eyebrow as he skimmed through the document. “I’ve increased this state’s GDP tenfold, reaching $20 trillion. Do you really think I would need to embezzle money or accept bribes?” As the future son-in-law of Governo

The door inside the room creaked open slowly, and from there, Max stepped out with a calm demeanor. His gaze was sharp yet controlled, as if he remained unaffected by the pressure that had surrounded him all this time. Chief Raul followed behind him, his expression neutral, but the look in his eyes conveyed a sense of respect toward Max. Seraphina instantly stood up. Her breath hitched as she saw the man who had once held her heart now standing just a few steps away. Her chest pounded—not out of fear, but from sheer shock. Darrus, too, was taken aback, though he tried to hide it. He remained seated, furrowing his brows as he adjusted his glasses. His gaze locked onto Max, carefully assessing the situation—one he had never anticipated. Seraphina turned sharply toward Chief Raul. "What is the meaning of this?" Her voice was cold and piercing. "Wasn’t he supposed to be in a prison cell? Why is he walking out of there like this?" Darrus had the same question. He scrutinized Chie

AN UNDERSTATED POWER 0057
Governor Darrus sat in his office, his hands gripping his hair. James' threats echoed in his mind, reverberating like the toll of a death knell. He had to save Morow State, or he himself would be destroyed! Wasting no time, Darrus launched three major plans to stabilize the situation. First, a Secret Military Operation. Darrus deployed special forces to eradicate the illegal immigrants who were causing chaos. However, this operation only worsened the problem. Many civilians became victims, international media condemned the brutality of the authorities, and pressure from the central government intensified. Then, he changed his approach by Offering Wealth to Former Officials. Darrus tried to persuade the officials who had either resigned or were unfairly dismissed. But they all outright refused. "What a foolish governor!" they mocked. They wanted nothing to do with someone like Darrus, whom they saw as the root of all these problems. His last plan was to Attack Nichol’s Network.

Nichol stared coldly at Harry, who was kneeling before him, his face covered in blood and sweat. A cruel smile played on his lips as he raised his laser pistol and pressed it against the man’s forehead.Harry glared at him, his eyes burning with anger, but beneath that rage was a defiance that, oddly enough, entertained Nichol."You think you can survive in this city just because you hold the title of captain?" Nichol shook his head and clicked his tongue. "Bebank Town isn’t a place for someone like you."Without warning, the sound of a gunshot echoed through the underground chamber.Harry’s head snapped back, his body swayed for a moment before collapsing onto the cold floor with a heavy thud. His eyes remained open, but the life within them had vanished.Nichol exhaled slowly, tucking his pistol away before glancing at his men standing stiffly around the room."Grind his body," he ordered casually. "Use it as fertilizer for the trees outside."One of his men, a burly man with a scar

Harry stared at the plastic bottle in Arlo's hand with hopeful eyes. His lips were dry, and his throat felt like it was on fire. But just as he reached out to take it, Arlo smirked. "You want to drink this?" Arlo swung the bottle slightly, making the liquid inside ripple. "Too bad, this isn’t water. It’s camel urine." "But if you're really that thirsty, who knows? Maybe it won’t taste as bad as you think." Harry fell silent for a moment. His blood boiled at the blatant humiliation. His jaw clenched, and he balled his fists. "You're joking, right?" Arlo chuckled. "Bebank Town is in the middle of a dry desert, Captain. Water sources are scarce, and the people here don’t waste anything valuable." "Camel urine is filtered and drinkable in desperate situations. The locals know that." "But it seems you’re still not used to our way of survival," Arlo continued. Harry knew Arlo was just mocking him. The former captain and vice-captain had never been humiliated like this. Frustratio

Meanwhile, Harry and his team waited in the shade, drenched in sweat, feeling dry, dizzy, and on the verge of heatstroke. At that moment, a few townspeople walked by with iced cola, flaunting their drinks, and Harry’s team couldn’t help but swallow hard. "Captain… we're really thirsty here," one officer complained, his voice hoarse. "We don’t even have a single bottle of water. Is this what you call a well-planned operation?" Harry’s subordinates were now regretting following him on this mission. They had expected comfort, but instead, they were suffering. Not only were there no proper supplies, but they didn’t even have a single bottle of water. "When the former captain and vice-captain were still here, we never had to go through anything like this," another officer muttered, his voice filled with nostalgia. Harry was at a loss for words in response to his team's complaints. He knew they were right. This mission was far more difficult than he had imagined. But giving u

AN UNDERSTATED POWER 0053
Again...Nichol was reminded of four years ago. He remembered how strong and scary Max was! At that time, in this very place… In the dimly lit basement, tension hung in the air like a double-edged sword. Nichol stared at the pages Max had thrown onto the table. His usually steady fingers now trembled as he flipped through the sheets. Nichol’s once-confident expression hardened, his eyes narrowing as he recognized the names on the list. It contained key figures in the city's illegal business network. If Max truly managed to take them all down, it wouldn’t just shake Bebank Town—the entire underground network of Lav Nexus would be in ruins! Worse yet, Nichol’s own business would be on the brink of collapse. Taking a deep breath, Nichol tried to compose himself. He looked up, attempting to put on an innocent face. "Mr. Max, I don't know where you got this list, but these people left town a long time ago. I can't hand over what I don't have." Max remained silent. His cold, u

Nichol suspected that Harry and his team were Max’s spies sent to infiltrate his operations, and the news of Max’s capture might be a trap. Nichol never underestimated Max. He couldn’t allow the terrifying and humiliating events of four years ago to repeat themselves. Four years ago was the first time Nichol had ever met Max. *** Four years ago… Nichol was an ambitious leader of an illegal business empire who believed he was invincible. He stood at the center of an important meeting in the same underground tunnel, surrounded by his trusted associates. Their agenda was to expand their illegal operations in Lav Nexus, exploiting legal loopholes and leveraging corruption within the local government. Everything was going smoothly until a loud explosion abruptly halted their discussion. The heavy iron door at the end of the tunnel was forced open, shaking violently before it crashed to the floor. Smoke and dust filled the room, leaving everyone there stunned. Out of the s

Harry crossed his arms over his chest, staring impatiently at Arlo. “Now tell me, where can I meet the mayor?” Arlo wiped the sweat off his forehead, pretending to be confused. “The mayor? Oh, of course, Captain. Let me check if he’s around. Wait here for a moment.” Without waiting for a response, Arlo turned and walked briskly toward the main building. However, hours passed, and Arlo did not return. By 2 p.m., the sun scorched the ground of Bebank Town mercilessly. Strong winds carried swirling yellow sand, lashing against Harry and his team’s faces. Within minutes, the raging dust overwhelmed them. Their eyes burned, their throats were parched, and their bodies felt wrapped in suffocating heat. “Get to the car, quickly!” Harry commanded, shielding his face with his arm. They staggered toward the police car, seeking refuge from the sandstorm. But inside the car, the situation wasn’t much better. The temperature soared like a giant oven, nearing 60 degrees Celsius. S

Darrus studied the reports on his desk with intense concentration. His face reflected deep concern. The illegal immigration incident in Bebank Town not only threatened security but also had the potential to tarnish the reputation of Lav Nexus County, which had long been known as the most stable and prosperous region in Morow State. The title of "Happiest County," earned for four consecutive years, now felt like a heavy burden. Darrus immediately took action by instructing the Lav Nexus Police Department to thoroughly investigate the case. The timeline was tight—only three days. Darrus knew that every minute without a solution would only worsen the situation. Although the group of illegal immigrants hadn't brought any contraband, he was well aware that this small breach could open the door to larger threats in the future. Darrus picked up the phone and called Harry, the head of the Lav Nexus Police Department. Harry sat in his chair with his ever-present confident smile
