The burly men swarmed toward Xayne, throwing kicks and punches. Ariel screamed in terror as she crouched in the background. However, she had witnessed Xayne’s skills before and knew he was formidable.At that moment, Xayne threw several punches. The thugs writhed on the ground and moaned in pain. Not a single one could stand.The exchange of attacks happened in the blink of an eye. Ariel then walked out from the corner and hid behind Xayne, watching the fallen thugs on the ground. She could not resist kicking them a few times.Xayne looked at Ariel, unimpressed. "Aren't you scared anymore?”Ariel rolled her eyes and muttered, "I gave you a chance to be a hero, you know."Xayne rubbed his chin and glanced at Ariel teasingly. "Hero, sure, but as for the beauty..."Ariel squinted. "What? Am I not beautiful?""Oh, no, no. You are beautiful," Xayne stammered, caught off guard as Ariel boldly showcased her figure.Suddenly, she pointed toward the restaurant's entrance and shouted, "H

"I'll give you ten seconds to get the hell out of here." Xayne was visibly angry. He felt a burning rage upon seeing them harassing Ariana."What the hell did you say? You want us to leave? You punk, do you even know who I am?!" The chubby thug, using a towel to cover his bloodied head, glared at Xayne arrogantly. "Beat the shit out of this guy! Make him regret messing with us! How dare he kick me? He must have a death wish!"He signaled his lackeys with a wave, and they smirked while approaching Xayne."Woah! Someone wants to play the hero. What a way to court death!"The thugs, with a distinct air of ruffians, sneered and clenched their fists as they advanced toward Xayne. However, in the next moment, they were all sent flying.Bam!Bam!"What the... Is this impossible!" The chubby thug was petrified, sitting on the ground, covered in cold sweat. He couldn't comprehend how his men were sent sprawling to the floor."D-Don't come any closer!" the chubby thug, now scared, warned

"Are you here to check out the villas?" Ethan walked up to Xayne with a mocking expression on his face.Sophia, hanging onto Ethan’s arm, joined in with a cold smile. "Him? Is he worthy of even looking at the place? He can’t afford it."They found it hilarious. This residential area was the most expensive in all of Shalhom, and the villas here started at four million. Those who lived here were undoubtedly rich, and they didn’t think Xayne was capable of buying anything here.Xayne raised an eyebrow, looking at the two of them coldly, saying, "What does it have to do with you whether I'm here to check out the villas or not?"Upon hearing this, Ethan's eyes narrowed in dissatisfaction. "What's with the attitude? You have no right to speak to me like that."Thinking back to the beating he received from Xayne last time, Ethan got angry. He had even organized several waves of people to teach Xayne a lesson, but the results were all turned around on him. It was highly frustrating."Tha

Jordan turned around, his face darkening, and asked, "Who are you two?"Ethan quickly stood up and bowed. He went to shake hands with Jordan, saying, "Hello, Mr. Jordan. I'm Ethan, the heir of the Brown Corporation."The guy in front of him was Jordan Shud, the son of the powerful Shud family and the general manager of the Shud Group. In Shalholm, the Shuds held prominent status, much stronger than the Browns.Jordan frowned. "The heir of the Brown Corporation? Sorry, I don't recognize you. I'm currently entertaining an esteemed guest. If you have any questions, you can consult the other staff."With that, Jordan respectfully invited Xayne into the VIP reception room.Ethan was shocked to see Jordan ignore him and leave with Xayne. ‘Wh-What's the hell? That’s Jordan Shud, yet he's treating Xayne with such deference. Just who the hell is Xayne?'The anxious Sophia approached him and asked, "What’s going on, honey? Who is this Xayne, and how did he suddenly become so rich?"Ethan

The crowd turned to look, only to see Xayne striding in.With an unpleasant expression, Tim said, "I was asking for Serena's opinion. What does it have to do with you?""That's right. Don't think too highly of yourself, Xayne," Sophia coldly added.Violet immediately stood up, excitedly rushed over, and pulled Xayne toward the couch where they were seated. She arrogantly said to Tim and others, "How is it not related to him? Xayne is the one who bought the villa. Whether you can move in or not is entirely up to him."This sentence made Tim's family's faces instantly darken.At this moment, Violet turned to Xayne excitedly and said, "My dear Xayne, I heard that you bought the Emperor Villa."This question made everyone excited—especially Serena, who didn’t fully understand what was happening."Xayne, my mom said you bought a villa worth 1.5 billion. Is that true?" Serena asked, her heart pounding. She didn't know where he had gotten so much money."Tell us, Xayne. Did you buy it
