BLAZE’Sgaze shifted toward the broken glass near the table. He remembered that Max had only taken a few sips from his drink before suddenly becoming ill.“This isn’t normal…” Blaze began to doubt. He turned toward the surrounding guests, his voice cold enough to silence those closest to him.“Nobody leaves this hall!”Blaze roared.Several people stared at him in disbelief.“What are you talking about?” one guest demanded. “He needs medical attention!”“He’ll get it,” Blaze snapped. “But until we know what happened, nobody is leaving.”He looked toward the security personnel stationed ne
Chapter 46: Emergency
THE entire field erupted into applause as Max completed the final shot and brought his horse to a stop. The five arrows were embedded in the targets, with three striking the bullseyes and the remaining two landing close enough to earn him an impressive score.‘Of course, landing all the arrows on the bulls will make me suspicious, they can’t find out I have some… cheat code,’Max thought after finishing his turn.The judges took several minutes to verify the results before announcing the winner.“Ladies and gentlemen, after careful evaluation of all the competitors, we are pleased to announce that the champion of this year’s horseback archery competition is none other than Maximus Griffin!”The announcement wa
Chapter 45: Horseback Archery
THE male handler was utterly shocked by Max’s decision.“Sir, that horse is dangerous,” the handler cautioned. “It doesn’t allow strangers to approach it, and we strongly advise against entering the enclosure without proper preparation.”Kier and his companions watched from behind, their amusement growing as they anticipated what might happen.“Listen to the handler, Max!” Kier called out. “You wouldn’t want to get injured before the competition even begins.

He stood a few meters away from the couple.“I will cheer for you. I know you'll win!” Isla sounded sure.“Are you sure you don’t wanna join?

Chapter 43: The Sacrificial Lamb
BRIAN ZHAO was sitting inside his private office with a furious expression on his face. Multiple documents were scattered on his desk, while his loosened tie hung around his neck.He had already received the news about his suspension from the Griffin Conglomerate, and his lawyers had been contacting him nonstop regarding the investigation. His family had also been informed about the situation, leaving everyone in panic.“That bastard…”Brian muttered as he poured himself another glass of whiskey. He immediately drank it and slammed the glass onto the table. He could still remember Max’s cold expression during the emergency board meeting.
Chapter 42: Board Meeting
MAX did not slack off after the Griffin’s grand reunion. He buried himself in work, determined to gather evidence regarding the suspicious subsidiaries under the Zhaos. The incident from that night when Max showed symptoms was never discussed again since Blaze was never nosy about it.Using his personal laptop, Max used his hacking skills to trace the funds that seemed to magically disappear without proper liquidation.As expected, he learned that the issue of the missing files from the Engineering Department some time ago was all related.“What the hell?!” His thick brow almost formed a line. “Damn it! What were you up to, Lucas Griffin!”Max gritted his teeth. It took him a while before calming down.
