101 : Revelation
(The Next Day)"Good morning, sir," Max and Maya greeted as they walked into the house, smiling gently at Max, who was sprawled on the sofa.The day before, after they left the Thompson family, Max and his family moved into the villa given by the Thompsons' family.Fiona basically didn't suspect anything after hearing it was the Thompsons who gave Max the villa.Though she did have her doubts as she wondered what her husband could have done for the family to give him such a huge villa.Well, that didn't matter. What mattered was he didn't do anything dangerous to get it.Rose was happy that she finally got her own room, even though in the end, she still ran to Amelia's room to sleep.Fiona, on the other hand, kicked Max out of her room after he suggested they stay together.Though they had done a lot together, there was still that unfamiliarity there, so it made things awkward.Waking up early this morning, Max had cooked them a nice breakfast and they all headed out.Now he was the o
100: The Old man's Contemplation
But Max stopped her in time knowing how cruel the world was. At first, Maya was a bit uncomfortable with the rules, but as time went by and she treated more and more people, she realized her master was right. So she became even firmer when necessary and never gave in no matter what the case was. Well, except in a few cases and that was rare. So if those who knew how things worked were to hear that he was able to get Max to intervene and Maya treated his legs without seeking anything in return, that would instantly make them assume they were on Max's good side. This was because Max rarely intervened to get Maya to treat anyone. If someone told him, his reply would be to pay enough to get what they wanted. Or they should prove worthy and they would get the treatment they so desired. So with that, they would be able to live a lot longer that way. But then technically, the Thompson family was on Max's good side. Since day one, the old man had never said a word about what he wanted.
99: Can't Treat It Now
Max frowned slightly hearing this. Was the old man's situation really that complicated? "Is it something you can do now?" Max thought for a moment and then asked, wondering if she could do it at the moment. "No master, I would have to make a few preparations, the energy is rather violent," Maya shook her head as she answered. "What if I suppress it for you?" Max asked again, still wanting to get it done. Maya on the other hand understood Max's desire to do what he wanted to do right at the moment and then seize all kinds of communication with the Thompson family. But this was beyond what she could just do. Even if Max was to suppress the energy that would be on the surface, it would still affect her and that could cause a lot of problems. So she shook her head as she said, "Even if you suppress it, it would be of no use," "Alright then," Max nodded and turned to face the old man whom they had seemingly ignored. "Sorry about that old man," Max apologized, turning back to the ol
98: Strange Energy
Everyone present swallowed the invisible lump in their throat. Jake's voice was not low, it was just that Max wanted to humiliate him. As for the sound of his forehead hitting the floor, it was just a punishment. "Also, add unfilial to your first words," Max added, just as Jake was about to kowtow again. Suppressing the extreme anger in his heart, Jake kowtowed one more, his loud voice responding throughout the whole place, while the sound of his forehead colliding with the hard marble floor reached everyone's ears. "Unfilial Grandson greets Grandfather!" "Now, this is his. You do it," Max chuckled, nodding his head satisfactorily. "Now repeat it until I'm satisfied," Max commanded. Hesitation flashed in Jake's eyes, but just as he was about to retort, he heard Max's cold voice, "Maya, call Dominic, there's an interesting piece of news we need to release by tomorrow," Gritting his teeth, Jake had no other choice but to comply and for the next few minutes, his voice echoed thro
97: Kowtowing
"Since that's the case, there's no way I'll agree to the bet, I deem it null," Jake puffed his shoulders, his gaze condescending. "This is getting interesting," Max replied, his face beaming with a strange light. "How about we increase the stake of the bet?" "Allow me to propose the term of the bet this time," Jake agreed, his gaze fixated on Max. "Sure," Max agreed immediately. "Prove to me you don't need my money, and you're not affected by the money you just spent; then I'll willingly be your driver for a month," Jake sneered. "And if you can't, you'll be my driver for a month too, adding along with the other bets," "And how do you want me to prove to you that I'm not affected by it?" Max asked, the smile on his face never fading. "Buy three more houses of that price, then I'll agree," "Nah, there's no need for us to go that far," Max shook his head. He already had a house; there was no need to spend money to prove to this fool he was rich. "Hahaha, you're scared right?"
96: Shocked?
David also had a frown on his face. Just when the girl had gone to get the house, he had instructed her to press the amount as either ten or a hundred dollars. That way Max would be saved from trouble. But he didn't expect David to be so unreasonable that he wanted to take a closer look at the machine while the girl was operating. "Jake..." "I knew you were covering up for him. There's no need for you to try and dissuade me. All I need to see is the amount she would input and then the receipt." Jake shook his head interrupting David. "Are you still not ready to give up yet?" Jake turned to Max, disgust written all over his face. "Carry on grandson, you'll realize the words of your grandfather are never in vain," Max snickered, his eyes narrowing into a crescent. At the moment, Max's impression of David went up a notch. Though he didn't know what he had told the sales girl, he could tell he had planned to get him out of this sticky situation. Jake's expression darkened upon heari
