The next day, the news quickly spread of the death of Arturo Sanchez, which naturally caught the corporate world by storm.

No one expected such news, and so, they could only wonder what had caused his death.

Naturally, the most shaken by the news was the Sanchez family themselves who had lost their heir.

Currently, most members of the family were gathered in the main hall with Arturo’s body placed on a pedestal at the center of the hall.

Dressed in white clothes, they were all in mourning with Arturo's mother, crying the loudest as she held onto the corpse of her son.

Carlos stood to the side accompanied by Inspector Martin.

“Have you found the culprit?” Carlos asked with Martin replying.

“Not yet, but we have reason to believe that it was Maximilian Augustus.”

“What?... That bastard did this?”

“Most likely, though we don't have solid proof.”

“What do you mean you don't have solid proof?... Doesn't Hotel La Casa have cameras?”

“They do, but the penthouse that Arturo was found in had

  • Chapter 0034: Four against one

    The four men Duncan asked Max to face were already waiting for him to step forward, each one radiating a rather intimidating aura. Even a fool could tell they weren't ordinary men In truth, they were Martial Artists, individuals capable of utilizing spiritual energy to strengthen their bodies and perform incredible feats.For normal people, fighting these men would be the same as a death sentence.But Max was no simple man.In fact, he had realized it while taking on Mario and his men.Though he wasn't as strong as he was in the past, he had managed to retain not just his core training but his spiritual core as well, which meant he could strengthen his body with spiritual energy if need be.This helped him trivialize the current encounter.On the platform, the four bald men stared at Max intently with cold smiles.They had met countless skilled martial artists in Westbrook, but they had defeated all of those who challenged them.Max was not going to be any different.“Cut the chit–c

  • Chapter 0033: Crow's Nest

    “Young master, are you alright?” Alfred asked as he sat in the limo across from Max.Meredith was seated next to him, though she remained silent, not because she didn't have anything to say but because she wasn't close enough to Max to say anything.Jolted from his thoughts, Max replied. “Yes, I'm fine.”“You look worried though.”“Honestly, I'm fine. Don't worry about it.” Though he said that, Max was far from fine.His meeting with Jonathan had confirmed something he'd always suspected in his past life.In his first life, the reason Mirabel and Bernard killed him was that he was coming close to uncovering the criminal ring their families were a part of.Unfortunately, before he could get the last clue he needed to reveal the truth, they set a trap for him and that was how he lost his life.Having been reminded of the reason for his death, Max had his resolve for vengeance strengthened.Jonathan may think that he would be let off for betraying Natasha and the Cavendish family but he

  • Chapter 0032: Incoming storm

    Max couldn't help but wonder what explanation Jonathan wished to give to excuse what his son had done.“It was Natasha. She came to me and asked for our families to be united. She claimed it would be beneficial for our companies.”“So you, out of your greed, decided to accept her offer?”“There was no greed.”Max snorted. “So you aren't aware that they planned to frame me for a crime that you actually committed?... That you aren't aware that they planned to commit insurance fraud by claiming damages for what they had done but blamed me for?”Jonathan froze as he hadn't expected that Max would know that part of the plan.“It's not a secret, Jonathan, anyone with a brain could have figured it out.” Max intoned with a bit of mockery.Coughing awkwardly, Jonathan didn't dare to hide his intentions as he remarked. “That is true, but I had no idea that you were the son of the Augustus family.”“Mister Darrow.” Max suddenly spoke up, cutting him off. “I'm not here to hear about how you and N

    Now that Max had already absolved himself and that bastard Harold had already told the police the truth, the only thing she could do now was either pay back the money or risk going to jail.“Ma'am, also, all four of our big money clients that we have contracts with also reached out and have cancelled their contracts with us.”“What in the world is happening?” Mirabel felt like her whole world was falling apart.“Not just that but a good percentage of our workforce have placed their resignation letters.”“Damn it, shut the fuck up. Is it only bad news you have to share with me?” Mirabel bellowed, unable to take much more of the overflowing negatives.“I'm sorry, young Miss.” The secretary quickly backed away to avoid Mirabel's fury.Meanwhile, Mirabel continued to panic as she couldn't even begin to figure out how to handle the situation.Even though she was CEO of the company, she had no idea how to run a company.All she ever did was give orders, and even those orders she gave were s

  • Chapter 0030: A big problem

    “The Sanchez family?” Max raised a brow, having not expected that they would be ballsy enough to do something so stupid.Didn't they consider what would happen if their man was caught?No, perhaps they had other things in place.Almost like he'd heard Max's thoughts, the guard spoke up. “Also, we found this at the office and underneath your car.”As he spoke, he pulled out two bombs that had already been turned to duds.Max's expression cooled considerably as he saw this.So this was why they weren't worried about their man getting caught.They planned to really kill him.Thankfully, he'd anticipated such an act and had ordered another car to pick him up.Taking a deep breath, Max remarked. “Set up a meeting with the head of the Crows.”“Sir?” The guards exchanged looks, unsure of why Max would suddenly bring up that organization.“Just do as I say,” Max said.In his past life, the Sanchez family was quite close with The Crows, so there was no reason why they wouldn't reach out to the

  • Chapter 0029: Killing two birds with one stone

    “Hmm.” Max's expression shifted, as he realized that he was partly to blame for what happened last night.His actions had pushed forward an incident that was supposed to happen in the future.Thankfully, he'd acted when he did, otherwise, who knows what could have happened?“Just be careful, okay?... The Sanchez family is quite dangerous. I don't want to lose you after just getting you back.” Brittany remarked.“Don't worry, you won't. Get some rest.” Max said before proceeding to take his leave.Outside, two suited men were waiting.They were a part of the Augustus security detail otherwise known as Guardians, a group dedicated to protecting the Augustus family from all external threats.The group was made up of ex-military personnel, ensuring that they were quite skilled.“Make sure no one comes in here while I'm away, understood?” Max remarked with the two men nodding in response.With that, Max took his leave while also making a mental note to audit the Guardians as soon as possib
