At Vila Nexxon.... Max arrived at his home in Nexxon Villa. Since he killed Azam and sent the photos to the Hell group, the Demonic Cult had not shown any reaction. Max didn't know if they were afraid or if they were planning something. Whatever the reason, Max was not intimidated. On the contrary, he wanted to lure them out of hiding to avenge the death of his master, Lord Hades. Max stepped into the villa. The melodious sound of a piano welcomed him. In the living room, Aurora was playing the piano, singing "City of Stars" with a beautiful voice. Max was captivated. He had just discovered that Aurora was not only good at playing the piano but also had a lovely voice. Max sat down next to Aurora. He smiled faintly. The more time passed, the more he admired the young woman. Aurora looked so beautiful when lost in the music. After Aurora finished, she was surprised to see Max already behind her, staring at her. "You're home?" Aurora asked. "Zoza said you wouldn't be home often

Outside the building… "Let go! Don't you know who I am?!" Sayo shouted angrily, trying to fight back. But the two security guards didn't care. They dragged him out of the hall, which was now filled with whispers and sneering glances. Sayo struggled and raged, but his efforts were in vain. Once outside, he was pushed roughly. His body stumbled and fell face-down on the asphalt. Sayo tried to get up, but he couldn't. His chest felt tight, and his breath was heavy. He couldn't accept this reality. All of this stemmed from the burning anger in his heart. Yes, he was the one who had ordered the committee not to provide a seat for Ladder Corp. The reason was simple: he wanted to teach Max a lesson because Max had refused his offer for him to marry his daughter, Sarah. Sayo had hoped that by not having a seat at such a big event, Max would be humiliated. He imagined Max would come to him, apologize, and finally agree to marry Sarah. Sayo had even prepared a scenario where he would "forg

Max stood still in his place, not saying a single word, only looking at Sayo with a calm gaze that somehow made the air around them feel even heavier.Sayo swallowed hard. His nervousness grew worse when he realized that Senator Hayam was now also looking at him… not with friendliness, but with a cold, pressing anger.“I… I can explain…” Sayo tried to speak, but before he could continue, Hayam stepped forward.Hayam reached out and grabbed the collar of Sayo’s suit with ease. But the words that came out of his mouth made the entire hall fall silent. “Starting today, you are removed from your position as Chairman of the Lanua Business Regulatory Council.”Sayo was stunned. His legs gave way, and without thinking, he knelt before Hayam. Gripping the edge of the senator’s suit, his voice shook as he pleaded, “Senator Hayam… please… do not fire me…”“I… I was wrong, but… please give me another chance…”The Business Regulatory Council in every city of Morrow State operates under the Busin

The senators seated in the front row finally turned their attention to the commotion at the registration area. When they saw Max standing there, some of them immediately rose and walked toward him.Among them, a man with neatly combed silver hair and a perfectly tailored dark suit stepped forward ahead of the others. He was sixty-three years old, yet every movement carried the authority of someone who had once commanded on the battlefield.He was Hayam, a senator from the Business Senior Chamber International (BSCI), an elite business organization representing prominent senior executives in Morrow State.Hayam was no ordinary man. He was a former war commander who had once been Max’s direct superior in the military. Even so, he regarded Max as an equal, not only because of Max’s accomplishments in the business world but also because of the unmatched skills Max had shown during the war, which Hayam could never forget.When he reached Max, Hayam smiled broadly. “Hi, Max. How have you be

It was clear that the committee member holding the walkie-talkie was starting to lose his composure. His fingers pressed the button with a faint click, and his voice caught slightly as he spoke to his colleague in the corner of the hall. They had never prepared a seat for Ladder Corp, and they never expected Max to come, let alone as a direct representative.Until now, they had not even known that Ladder Corp had any connection to an influential man like Max.Lysa, Fafo, and Tora quickly approached Max.“Mr. Max,” Lysa said, “before you arrived, we went around looking for Ladder Corp’s seat, but there was none. We spoke to the committee, and I even tried to explain directly to Mr. Sayo… but he simply did not care.”“That is true, Sir,” Fafo added, his tone still carrying traces of anger toward the committee.Tora nodded, his face tense. “They treated us as if we did not deserve to be here, Sir.”Max only glanced at them briefly, then shifted his gaze back toward the committee. His fac

Lysa’s steps came to a halt when two tall, muscular bodyguards blocked her path. Their posture was straight, faces expressionless, like steel walls impossible to break through. Behind them, the same committee member who had stopped her earlier walked closer.“I already told you, Mr. Sayo will not help you. Do not push your luck,” the committee member said.Lysa met his gaze, unflinching. “I want to speak to him directly. Mr. Sayo will want to listen.”She raised her voice and called out, “Mr. Sayo!”From the front row, the middle-aged man turned his head. His eyes were sharp, slightly curious, then he stood and took a few steps forward.“What seems to be the problem?” he asked briefly.The committee member quickly explained, “This woman claims to know you, Sir… and is asking for help regarding her company.”Lysa looked straight into Sayo’s eyes. “Mr. Sayo, you must remember me. A week ago, I came to the business regulator’s office to register Ladder Corp for Level Two. You are the one
