“Hehehehe. Do you know, I learned from a very trusted source last night that a powerful, erudite, and prominent Grandmaster is coming to our city today.” “Huh? A powerful, erudite, and prominent Grandmaster?” “You—you hadn’t heard the news?” “Seems so.” "Ugh! Whatever. According to the news, the prime minister, all the First-rank family leaders, and other major figures in our city have been at the airport since last night, waiting to welcome this god disguised as a man." “Huh- Wow!” ***** “Are they talking about me?” Xavier, who had just entered the city and was appreciating the massive changes around him abruptly mumbled as he came to a stop, staring at the two men in suits walking before him. He frowned intently the following second before subconsciously looking at the crowded walkway opposite him, which contained people going to work. Xavier quickly joined and blended into the crowd to listen to their chatter and as it turned out, everyone was animatedly discussing the same topic: the arrival of an Erudite, powerful, and distinguished Grandmaster, a god of war, and a highly esteemed figure, as they call it, coming to the city. The more Xavier heard the crowd’s gossip, the more astounded he became before he eventually did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Didn’t I warn those guys that I just wanted to live a low-key life?” he wondered speechlessly before sighing helplessly as he imagined how his seemingly low key life would have been ruined even before it began if he had let himself be dropped off at the airport. Xavier instantly felt a cold shiver run down his spine as the image of himself being knelt to by all the various leaders of the city crossed his mind. He swallowed hard and quickly shook his head. “Fortunately for me, I’m smart enough to change the route,” he mumbled as he swallowed hard, and with that, decided to stop sightseeing the city that had changed so much in the past five years, almost appearing strange to him. “Time to go see my woman,” he abruptly muttered and his eyes brightened so much in the following second before his breathing quickened with pure joy. “Five years isn’t easy at all!” he sighed heavily with a nostalgic tone, momentarily losing his composure—something he had rarely done in the past five years. Unable to wait any longer, Xavier hailed a taxi and got in. A little over thirty minutes later, he arrived at his destination and got out, then looking at the house that had barely changed in the past five years, his eyes grew bloodshot. This was the house he had bought for himself and his fiancée five years ago, which they would move into after their marriage. Xavier clenched his fists once again, adding all strength and causing them to crackle hard. Five years ago, he was just an ordinary young man from a humble family who managed to labor hard and work his way into a middle-class financial position. Although not big, he managed to start his own company and buy a house on a mortgage, while also owning a small car. That was almost all of Xavier’s dreams back then and just as he was about to achieve the last, by marrying the woman of his dreams, everything was changed by an unforeseen incident that led him to jail. Recalling all this, Xavier failed to handle the drop of tears that fell from his eyes. He sighed heavily, then with his eyes having turned red from his contrasting emotions, pushed open the door he had yearned to walk through for the past five and walked into the villa. It was still pretty much the same except for some little changes here and there. Xavier’s heart couldn’t help but melt at this, at how his fiancée was still taking care of the villa and making sure he would meet it as he had left it. ‘It shows that she still loves and cares about me,’ he thought and the massive love he initially felt for Jennifer increased by several folds. Perhaps all the powerful jade beauties, numbering in the hundreds, who had always envied the woman who had captured Xavier’s heart, would immediately commit suicide if they were to know that such a simple thing as taking care of a house would deeply touch the godly entity’s heart and cause his love to grow exponentially. Unaware of this, Xavier, unable to contain his anticipation to see the face he had been longing for and imagining days and nights for the past five years, quickened his pace and began searching for his wife, eager to surprise her with his return. “Could she be in our room?” he mumbled to himself after failing to find Jennifer anywhere else in the small villa and once Xavier muttered this, he wasted no time and quickly made his way to the master bedroom. As he reached the door, his heart began to pound wildly with nervousness. Right now, he was no longer the scary entity known as Master Xavier. Instead, he was just a weak young man who was going to die from nervousness and goosebumps. Many imaginations quickly surge through Xavier’s head in the span of seconds before finally, he pushed open the door that felt heavy. “Surprise!!!” he announced loudly, his voice filled to the brim with unhidden joy, but in the following second, his voice hung and his face became stiff. Right on the massive bed before him, the matrimonial bed he had bought five years ago to be used by himself and his fiancée after they got married, two naked bodies were tightly entangled with each other, and they both seemed to be having their climax. Xavier’s heart and body froze in an instant. He couldn’t react nor do anything, feeling as though he were dreaming, and following this, his eyes widened in shock, and his jaw nearly dropped to the ground from disbelief.Related Chapters
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 003 – Another Shock
***** Of all the things Xavier had visualized his first meeting with his fiancée would be after five years, this definitely was never one of them. He remained dumbstruck for a long time, gaping, with his head pounding hysterically in disbelief as he stared at the couple who wouldn’t tear from each other even after his intrusion, only stopping after they finished having their climax. They finally glanced toward the door, wondering about the person who had dared to intrude on their room. “Which motherf*cking bastard are you?” Victor, a short man with an unremarkable appearance, demanded with rage while Jennifer’s eyes grew cold, unable to believe that someone had dared to barge into her room while she and her partner were together. Infuriated, Jennifer quickly rolled herself into the duvet on the bed and leaped to her feet, pointing aggressively at Xavier. “You!!!” She barked, wanting to curse but then she went into a daze the next second, unable to believe her eyes.
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 004 – The Feeling of Betrayal
***** Xavier, with no background nor support whatsoever, had withstood the rain, blood, and hunger alone to create his company from scratch seven years ago and in a matter of two years, managed to turn it into a slightly successful company, with more than twenty employees. He had handed it over to Jennifer after he was sentenced to prison five years ago, hoping that she’d manage it and from the profit made, take care of his parents. Never in his life had he imagined that not only would she not take care of his parents, but would also team together with his oppressor and sell off his properties, a lie he obviously did not believe. Xavier began to fume frantically, but eventually, clenched his fists to calm the rage that was on the verge of bursting out. Meanwhile, seeing Xavier in this state, the adulterous pair before him had wide grins on their faces. Jennifer felt not even the slightest trace of pity nor remorse for him and for betraying betraying him. She was even more pl
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 005 - Jennifer’s Hatred
***** “Huh?” Xavier went into a daze and couldn’t react after hearing how he was addressed. ‘Let’s assume Jennifer’s love somehow disappeared after years of him being away, what about them?’ He thought blankly. Although Xavier was from a poor background before starting his company, Jennifer’s background had been worse than his. They were homeless when Xavier met Jennifer, and Xavier, in his little, had gotten an apartment for the family, furnishing it. He also enrolled Michael, who had dropped out of high school into college, paying all his tuition in advance. That did not still end there. Xavier even placed the entire family on a payroll, giving them the exact amount he was giving his parents every month, yet they still addressed him as a prisoner despite knowing the reason behind his time. This was what Xavier was busy thinking when; “Who release this prisoner?” Michael suddenly laughed, breaking Xavier’s dumbstruck state. “Weren’t you supposed to rot in jail?” “And what
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 006 – A Situation In The Pub
***** Although Xavier tried appearing strong as he walked away from the house he had bought through his blood and sweat, he was very vulnerable. His mind was in complete disarray, and he felt like a wreck, recalling the memory he did not know if he would ever forget in his life. He was deeply pained, realizing he had wasted his love and emotions on someone who did not deserve them. In addition to his pain, Xavier felt a deep sense of guilt, knowing that he had also punished his parents, which weighed heavily on him. Although he knew his parents couldn’t have managed his company on their own, Xavier felt pained that he should have entrusted everything to them instead of the ungrateful woman. For this reason, Xavier did not immediately look for his parents after leaving Jennifer—He had one idea how he would face them after five years of denying them the right to see and be protected by their son. Xavier began to walk aimlessly around, various memories running through his head
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 007 – The Situation Getting Out Of Hand
***** The entire bar fell silent, with everyone staring blankly at the lean person holding a hand that was twice the size of his own. No one could react for a moment, but eventually, the eyes of the Lion King, whose hand Xavier was holding, darkened with wrath. “Brat! Weren’t you the one I warned earlier to mind your business?” He snapped, his voice brimming with unhidden killing intent. Xavier, however, wasn’t bothered. Instead, continued maintaining his composed demeanor. “This lady here does not want to follow you, why are you forcing her?” He inquired calmly making everyone instant exchange stunned gazes. “This—this fool!” The bartender, whose gaze hadn’t left Xavier since the beginning scoffed with frustration and then hurriedly left what she was doing to rush over. “Lion King, hahahah. Please don’t mind this friend of mine. He appears to be too drunk to know what he was doing,” she stated with a smile, tearing Xavier’s hand away from the lion king. The Lion King qu
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 008 – The Terrified First Lion King
***** Bars are known for their constant noise, especially at night during operating hours, but right now, the entire bar is eerily silent with everyone within staring blankly as though they were seeing the most disbelieving thing in history, particularly the ones who knew the reputation of the two Lion Kings. This silence lasted for a long time before eventually, the Lion King, whose leg was being held by Xavier returned to his senses and became deeply embarrassed which promptly changed to an incredible rage. “Bastard! Let go of my leg!” He snapped ferociously, trying to force away his leg from Xavier’s lazy grasp. Yet, for some reason, he wasn’t able to move it an inch—It was as though the leg was being held by the large hand of a deity and not the seemingly weak Xavier. “Are you deaf? I say let go of my leg!” He barked and Xavier instantly smiled slightly before nodding his head. “Sure,” he responded before continuing just as the Lion King was about to heave a sigh of relief.
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 009 – The Next Morning
***** Inside a quiet, peaceful, and rough bedroom that has the appearance of a war aftermath, a sudden vibration sounded and the next second, two bloodshot eyes snapped open. Very lazy to the peak and still sleepy, Grace, not seeing her present appearance twitched, wanting to pick up the phone ringing. Just then, she felt a warm body against her skin, scaring her badly. She jumped back and stared with full alert, preparing to engage in case someone had intruded on her bedroom. The following second, however, she saw probably the most handsome body she’d seen in her life. Although the body was lean, it was well-built with no excess muscles or fat. Just as she liked it. Though her heart skipped a bit at the sight of this body, Grace was able to ignore it, instead, her gaze slowly turned cold in an instant and she was about to yell when; everything that happened the previous night came crashing into her brain. Her face paled the next second and she appeared to have don
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 010 – The Mysterious Bar
***** The gangsters glared at the speaker before hurriedly looking at their boss with a fawning expression. “Boss, I suggest we take this b!tch to the base and turn her to your toy. I refuse to believe she won’t speak up in just a day” “No boss, just give me the go-ahead to deal with her. She will divulge the bastard’s location in less than ten minutes!” Without hiding their rivalry over their boss’s favoritism, the gangsters shouted out cruel ideas one after another, but surprisingly, the bartender, who heard all their wicked suggestions did not show even the slightest hint of fear; instead only frowned in annoyance. "Do you even know what your brother did to earn his punishment?" she abruptly asked, cutting off the excited gangsters and glancing at Jazzy, who immediately shot her dagger-filled eyes. "My brother went after a b!tch and some worthless nobody thought they could step in, making him choose to punish them—and so what?!" he sneered, his voice dripping with icy cont

Chapter 429 – The Customers' Rising Admiration for Xavier
*****After Julius and Brenda, the guards were the most shocked after hearing Gregory make the announcement.Their knees turned to liquid, their eyes went wide, and their blood turned to ice.They had laughed at Xavier not long ago, insulting and calling him a lowlife entity for daring to challenge Julius and not give him a face.They had claimed he should have groveled before Julius—that he didn’t deserve to breathe the same air as him.And now?They had insulted a man who now made even Julius—their golden boy—look like a child playing dress-up.One of the guards whimpered softly, and another staggered before slumping against the wall, his hands shaking violently.“Wait… who was supposed to give face to who in the first place?” one of them muttered. “Weren’t we and even that Julius the ones who should’ve knelt to him from the start?”Regret tore through them like a thunderclap, the weight of their mistake suffocating them.They felt weak, almost sobbing.Their pride, their

*****“Sir, please come with me to my office. I’ll personally handle everything for you.”That was the first thing the stunned customers heard upon rushing into the bank, causing their jaws to nearly drop to the floor.They froze, baffled.This wasn’t just any bank manager speaking—this was Gregory, the notoriously prideful manager of Pinnacle Bank, humbling himself without hesitation.But then they remembered that he had knelt before Xavier not long ago, even slapping the descendant of a third-rank family for him.Those two acts instantly silenced any thoughts of ridicule.Now, they looked at Xavier with awe—awe and something bordering on reverence.Envy flickered in their eyes, their minds bursting with questions they dared not speak aloud.'Who exactly was this man?'Xavier, however, remained utterly indifferent.From beginning to end, not once did his expression falter.He stood tall, poised, his bearing calm and composed—as if everything happening had already played o

*****Julius let out a sharp exhale after hearing his father’s infuriated voice.Knowing that his father never ignored anything concerning him and would always seek revenge on his behalf no matter the time or place, he felt slightly more at ease, reassured that reinforcements were on the way.But one thing remained absolutely clear.He wouldn’t let Xavier leave this bank without paying for everything he had done.And so, Julius turned and stormed back inside.……Meanwhile…Outside the bank stood a group of trembling souls—the security guards.They had watched everything unfold.They had heard the slap, seen the reactions, and now, they were only beginning to understand the enormity of their error.Their faces were pale. Their limbs were numb.The silence among them was heavy—until one of the guards finally croaked out a shaky whisper:“P-Please… Someone tell me we didn’t almost beat that guy up just to impress Julius.”His voice was so thin, so frightened, it was a miracle anyone hear
Chapter 426 – Julius’ Unwillingness
*****Brenda’s face was pale like a sheet of paper at this moment, her body trembling faintly.She hadn’t moved since Gregory had dismissed her. It was as though her soul had been yanked from her chest, leaving behind an empty shell.The arrogance—the spite—the pride that had once oozed from her? Gone.Now, she looked like a woman standing in the ruins of her own choices.Her lips moved slightly. Then again.“No… No… I can’t be fired…” She thought desperately, her hands clenched at her sides."I’m still under contract! That’s right… A contract staff member can’t be fired on the spot like that. If they do, the one who fired them and the organization will be inviting a lawsuit."The thought offered her a sliver of hope, and with this, her breathing steadied.But that sliver couldn’t warm the ice that had sunk into her bones.She took in a shaky breath, steeling herself.Then she turned, lifted her chin with forced determination, and began walking back into the bank.Her expression tried

Unshakable.He had just smacked the face of hierarchy, shattered arrogance underfoot, and turned power dynamics upside down—and now he walked away like none of it had mattered.The silence that followed was almost spiritual.Even Gregory, the bank’s esteemed manager, whose presence once demanded respect, was too stunned to react for a full ten seconds. His brain, like everyone else’s, struggled to reboot after witnessing a scene so bizarre, so unreal, it defied everything they thought they knew about status and authority.But finally, as if a switch had flipped, Gregory jolted.A wave of relief crashed over him, and without a second thought, he sprang to his feet and dashed after Xavier, his face beaming like a man who had just been spared
Chapter 424 – Gregory’s Apology
*****Gregory’s face twisted in disgust after hearing Brenda’s apology, his mind finally piecing everything together like a jigsaw puzzle falling into place.'So, he had indeed called the head office?’‘To think I was internally blaming him for reporting my branch even though he was the one in the wrong.’‘So, he was the victim after all.’A wave of dread washed over Gregory, and before he knew it, his breathing grew shallow. It was as if the very air around him was closing in on him.Without warning, he snapped.“Pack your things and get out,” he growled at Brenda, his voice thunderous and final. “You’re terminated. Immediately.”The impact of his words struck like a lightning bolt.Everyone gasped.Brenda stood paralyzed, her mouth agape in utter disbelief.‘Fired?’She looked around, her eyes searching the crowd for someone—anyone—to protest on her behalf.

*****“Wait… did he just say what I think he did?”“Did the manager just reprimand Young Master Julius?”“No way. That can’t be right. Not young master Julius. This has to be some kind of joke…”Murmurs spread like wildfire.They had all seen how Gregory had treated Julius earlier, with complete familiarity, like a family member. For him to suddenly raise his voice, let alone scold Julius, was beyond belief.And Julius…He looked like he’d just swallowed a fly.“This…” he muttered, his mouth agape. For a moment, no words came. Then, recovering some of his usual bluster, he forced out a shaky laugh.“Uncle,” he said, his voice louder now, trying to reassert dominance, “You’re not actually falling for this lunatic’s act, are you?”He gestured toward Xavier like he was showcasing a circus animal.“Come on! Look at him! Look at the state of his clothes! Even the servants back at my estate wear better than this—and you think this is a VVIP client?”He barked a short laugh, but
Chapter 422 – This Man Isn’t Ordinary
*****The security personnel were the most baffled at this moment, exchanging bewildered glances with each other as they tried to make sense of the chaotic scene unfolding before them.They had left briefly with one clear instruction—seize Xavier and return him to the bank so that Julius could administer his version of punishment for Xavier's audacity. Yet now… everything had changed in the blink of an eye.‘What could possibly have transpired during the few short moments we were away?’‘Why is the branch manager, a man who practically lives in his office, suddenly out here?’“What exactly is this’ card‘ everyone is whispering about?”‘And why is the entire staff and the customers assembled like something monumental is happening?’A cascade of questions thundered through their minds, yet none could form an answer. They stood motionless, confusion written all over their faces.Their gazes eventually settled on Gregory, the bank manager.But it wasn’t just the guards who had ze
