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 quickly cast a glance at the bartender and growled but then hesitated before snorting. “I will let him go on your account then,” he said unhappily before sparing Xavier a dangerous glare and then ignoring him, casting his unhidden hungry-filled gaze back at the terrified beauty. “You’ve caused enough scene here already, let’s get going now,” he said darkly and threateningly before looking at his brother. “Let’s pick her up,” he said and the first lion king nodded his head, scaring Grace to the core. Although she was completely drunk and her mind was no longer functioning properly, she instinctively shrank back when she realized what the two were planning, her heart pounding fiercely with fear. Grace had heard many times from news about something like this happening, but she had never expected to encounter it the first time she decided to run away from her comfort zone and drown in her sorrow. She looked around for help but saw none. Instead, a few people watched her with pity, while the majority laughed, cheered on the Lion King, and praised the spectacle as a display of beauty. Just as Grace thought she was doomed, however, the composed voice she had heard earlier, which she thought was that of a savior sounded again. “Did I tell you that you can go with her?” The entire bar became eerie silent again, but it was soon broken and before long hushed voices filled the entire bar. “Is this guy a fool or what?” “Instead of being grateful for the Lion King’s forgiveness, he still chose to push your luck?” “Given his weak physique, wasn't he even supposed to keep a low profile instead of provoking people who could end his with a single snap!” Everyone mumbled and even the bartender, who had earlier pleaded on behalf of Xavier was stunned for a while before she sighed helplessly. She looked back to the Lion King and wanted to beg them again, but before she could open her mouth, they had already addressed her. “I listened to you earlier because of my respect and appreciation, but please, don’t try your luck too much,” they said in unison, their voices laced with an unmistakable menace. The Bartender immediately sighed upon hearing them and then looked at Xavier helplessly. Eventually, she shook her head and glanced back at the Two Lion Kings. “Please, for my sake, don’t give him a life-threatening injury.” “That, we can do,” the two responded and looked back coldly at Xavier. “Since you hate minding your goddamned business so much, get your ass over here and move this b!tch to our room for us!” The second King, whose hand Xavier had earlier held growled and the bar became silent again with everyone staring at Xavier, wondering what he would do. Contrary to their thoughts, however, Xavier, who had been calm all along did nothing. He just continued standing and watching lazily, acting as though he didn't feel the alarming intent closing in on him. “Bastard! Are you deaf?!” The voice of the second Lion King boomed, sending the hearts of the hearers banging against their chests, but still, Xavier did not react. This finally infuriated the two Lion Kings to the extent that they felt like killing someone. “Please forgive me,” the second Lion King said coldly to the bartender, then not waiting for a response stormed toward Xavier. “What I hate the most is people interfering in my affairs, offending me, and disrespecting my order. For daring to do all those, I’m going to castrate you,” he said coldly, then not waiting for any reaction, delivered a powerful kick to Xavier’s crotch. As soon as everyone saw this, their hearts skipped a beat, following which, their entire body went cold. They sighed deeply, suddenly feeling strong pity for Xavier. “He could have minded your business but unfortunately chose not to..” “This made me recall the last person who offended the Two Lion Kings. Hadn't he become a past today, yet, another little guy will join.” “What a stupid hero. Wouldn’t he live the rest of your life in pain and regret now, knowing he could have easily refused to help the needy,” the crowd sighed one after the other. Even Grace couldn’t help but be scared to death, watching what was going to happen. She opened her mouth, wanting to plead for mercy for Xavier, knowing she would never forgive herself if Xavier ended up getting hurt because of her. “Plea-“ she began to cry out when without any warning, her jaw dropped and her eyes constricted sharply. It wasn’t only hers, but literally everyone in the bar. If Xavier was like a thin pole, the Lion King attacking him would be a small mountain—muscular and imposing. Yet, at this moment, Xavier was casually holding his leg in his hand. That’s right and just then, a calm and composed voice filled with disbelief sounded. “You will castrate me just because I don’t want you to commit a wicked deed?”

***** 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.

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.

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

However, he now realized how foolish he had been.Jennifer had really given his parents the remaining money as she claimed, but;"She—she really claimed that the remainder after selling off all my properties and paying for that bastard’s medical expenses is $100?" Xavier, refusing to accept the figure he just heard inquired with a strong tremor, his entire body feeling cold.Seeing her son like this, Laura sighed heavily and thought on the past, recalling how shocked she and her husband had been as well when they learned that Jennifer had sold their son's propert

***** “These demons are here again! Why?” Laura became terrified, hearing the playful and condescending roar. Trembling, she forced herself to her feet and rushed out with a panicky countenance. “Ma—master Frosh Junior, I—I had no idea you were coming today,” she stuttered nervously. Currently standing outside the dilapidated and partially collapsed house was a 17-year-old young man with a small build. He wore a brightly colored outfit consisting of baggy trousers hanging halfway down his butt, an oversized shirt three times his size, and a bandana tied around his head, exuding an air of arrogance. Standing proudly behind the boy was a group of gangsters, all presently glaring at Laura in disdain a disgust. "You old hag, why did you intentionally make elder brother waste his strength calling you? Weren't you supposed to have been out waiting for him?" one of the gangsters behind Frosh Junior abruptly asked as soon as Laura appeared, causing her to shiver from apprehension.

***** Not even in Xavier’s worst nightmares had he expected to witness the scene he saw upon his return. Standing motionlessly, his eyes turned crimson red in an instant, and his body trembled as he unconsciously unleashed a chilling killing intent that seemed capable of destroying the entire world. Although the massive wood he had just chopped and the axe he was carrying had already fallen, Xavier failed to be bothered. No, he did not even notice. He couldn’t believe that someone had dared to make his own mother kneel to them, even seemingly on the verge of hitting her. Shivering all over as if he had been locked inside an iceberg—a sensation he had never experienced even in Irondome prison—Xavier slowly stepped forward. He moved very slowly and almost unconsciously, yet he was already standing before his mother in the blink of an eye. “Mo—mother,” he stuttered, almost choking on his words as his eyes became blurry, staring at his mother kneeling pitifully.

Xavier asked indifferently, finally having time for the gangsters, and unaware of the grave danger they were now in, the gangsters exchanged glances before bursting into laughter. “Yes, what will you do?” Frosh Junior, who was ten years younger than Xavier inquired arrogantly, leaving Xavier, stunned for a moment before his expression returned to being icy cold. “What was my mother’s offense? Why did you make her kneel?” he suddenly inquired, making everyone become astonished for a moment, Frosh Junior included before an even more playful smirk appeared on his lips. “Since you know your place and ask nicely, I will tell you if she hadn’t,” he responded arrogantly before sparing Laura a disgusting glance. “I am the king and protector of this district, meaning that everyone who sees me will need to knee to me, otherwise, they would be beaten to a pulp, the same way you would from now on if you refuse to knee,” he explained oppressive

*****“I’m curious…” Victor muttered suddenly, glancing at Jennifer after hearing her words. “How did he make that soldier obey him like that? It wasn’t just respect—it was absolute deference. Could it be… he has an identity you don’t know about?”“This…”Jennifer faltered.She had been so blinded by hatred just now that she hadn’t considered it. But now…She recalled the soldier’s words, his tone, the way he had bowed his head.Her brows furrowed, and for the first time, uncertainty flickered in her gaze.But then, as if crushing the thought beneath her heel, she let out a scornful laugh.“You think that useless loser is anything special?”Victor didn’t answer, but his hesitation spoke volumes.Jennifer sneered at this. “You… You actually thought that nobody was someone important? What a joke!”Her laughter grew louder, and harsher until it turned into something bordering on hysteria.She laughed until her sides ached until tears pricked her eyes—not from sadness, but fro

And now—The humiliation was suffocating.The soldier’s laughter rang in their ears, each note of mockery stabbing them deeper, deeper.He didn’t even need a response. Their silence, their frozen expressions of horror, were answer enough.“Pathetic.”He waved a hand in front of his nose, feigning exaggerated nausea. “Get out of my sight before I puke.”Jennifer and Victor jolted at his words, their bodies instinctively jerking into motion.They didn’t even hesitate. Heads down, shoulders hunched, they staggered away, their steps unsteady, their minds fractured.They didn’t walk. They ran.They ran without looking back, their feet
Chapter 395 – The Pitiful Victor and Jenifer
*****The following morning.Claannng!The sharp sound of metal hitting metal suddenly echoed through the silent corridor as a heavily armored soldier slid the rusted iron bolt aside.He unlocked the cell door with a lazy flick of his wrist, the hinges screeching in protest. Then his cold, pitiless eyes peered into the suffocating darkness within, where the air was thick with the stench of sweat, filth, and something far worse—despair.“You can leave,” he spat, his voice dripping with contempt.The cell was pitch black, an abyss so consuming that even the faintest shapes were swallowed whole.At a glance, it seemed abandoned, as if no living soul had ever occupied it. But the soldier wasn’t deceived. He didn’t move, didn’t rush. Instead, he remained at the threshold, arms crossed, waiting.Seconds passed, yet no response. And realizing this, his lips twisted into a smirk.“No movement? Hah. It seems you two enjoyed the special treatment I arranged for you. Perhaps another day

Then…But then…“Uncle?”A soft, hesitant voice drifted from the living room.Just at that moment, Xavier stepped in and was met with a sight that nearly shattered him.His mother’s eyes were red and puffy, her hands hurriedly wiping at the lingering traces of tears, evidence that she had been quietly weeping before his arrival.Opposite her, his father sat rigid, his face lined with sorrow, trying and failing to mask the emotions etched onto his features.Between them, Little Lola sat still, her expression uncertain, her tiny hands clutching the hem of her dress as if needing something to hold on to.But the moment she truly registered his presence, her eyes brightened like a sky after a storm, and without hesitation, she jumped to her feet.Yet, just as quickly,

And as expected… “You—” Sarah’s voice cracked, the weight of emotion making it tremble. “You must…” But before her words could fully escape, David’s voice cut in abruptly. “So tell me, then, Little Lola. If you enjoy spending time with your grandmother and me so much, why do you keep asking about your uncle?” Xavier immediately understood. His father was trying to shift the conversation, to steer his wife away from another painful breakdown. A knowing smile played on his lips. ‘My father understood my mother better than anyone after all,’ he thought to himself. Shaking his head lightly, he prepared to step into their sight when— "Grandpa, Grandma, Little Lola don’t think you know yet…" Little Lola’s soft voice, fille
Chapter 392 – Returning Home
*****Completely oblivious to the intricate schemes unraveling beneath the veil of night, Xavier sat comfortably in the rear seat of a sleek sedan, his excitement nearly palpable.His eyes gleamed like polished gemstones under a flickering light, an irrepressible grin stretching across his face as he clutched a small, unassuming box. Every few moments, he ran his fingers over its surface as if to reassure himself that it was real."Who would have thought today’s simple outing would yield such an invaluable treasure?" he mused, his gaze fixated on the box in his grasp.This herb had weighed heavily on his mind ever since he resolved to concoct a medicinal remedy for his parents' untimely agedness and health.Despite maintaining a façade of optimism—believing it wouldn’t be too difficult to acquire from the herbal market where Little Lola had planned to take him—deep down, a lingering unease had gnawed at him. But now…“We’ve arrived, sir.”The deep, reverent voice of the driver

Their throat

Chapter 389 – Lucius’s Level Up
*****“Kakakaka!”A sudden burst of maniac, unrestrained laughter echoed from deep within the Scoan family estate, sharp and chaotic, like the crazed cackling of a madman consumed by madness.It was already late into the night, and given the sheer size of the estate, the eerie laughter carried far and wide, slicing through the silence like a blade.Those still awake felt their spines stiffen in alarm, while those already asleep were wrenched violently from their slumber, jolted upright with pounding hearts.“Who? What in the world?”The estate’s servants, guards, and workers rushed out of their quarters, confusion swirling among them like a thick fog.“Who could possibly be laughing like that at this hour?”Their anxious gazes darted around, searching for the source of the disturbing sound—when suddenly...“This father has finally ascended to supremacy! I am now an F-rank fighter! Let’s see who dares to stand in my way now!”A voice, dripping with arrogance and untamed glee,
