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. “I will just repay you with what you wanted to do to me.” “This!” Everyone gasped and saw something flash in their eyes before they could think, after which, a shrill scream that sounded as though someone was being butchered echoed. Subsequently, Xavier let go of his hand and the Lion King was sent ricocheting away halfway across the bar. “Ah!!!!!!” He wailed like someone whose skin was being torn away from his body, making everyone feel their hair standing at the end while wondering about what had just happened. They all turn into statues in an instant which lasts for a moment before the first Lion King forces himself to return to his senses. “Third—third brother! What’s with your cry?” He asked with fear before rushing toward his brother. “Aren’t you embarrassing yourself too much? Yelling this loudly and painfully merely because a tiny ant that could easily be squashed to death with my fingers hurled you away?” He complained with dissatisfaction before bending over to help his brother up. The following second, however, he paused slightly before his eyes widened significantly, after which a strong shill ran down his spine. “What-“ his mouth hung open as he subconsciously moved his hand toward his brother’s crotch area. “What’s—what’s blood doing here?” he inquired incredulously and then pressed down with his hand. “Rahhhhhhh!!!!” The second Lion King’s roar intensified as if he were experiencing the most excruciating pain imaginable, and soon after, he fainted. The bar became pin-drop silent after this until; “He wanted to castrate me, but I castrated him instead. That’s fair, no?” A calm and lazy voice inquired, making everyone shiver frantically with goosebumps crawling hysterically all over their skin, then they glanced at the speaker. “He—he crippled the lion king?” Someone swallowed hard and mumbled doubtfully. Just then, the first Lion King returned to his senses and he screamed. “How dare you castrate my brother?!” “I’m going to kill you!!!” His voice filled to the brim with killing intent scaring everyone in the bar out of their wits. “The Lion King is finally mad,” someone mumbled and ran toward the bar’s exit without hesitation, looking terrified to the core. “Probably all the eyewitnesses here tonight are done for!” Another person mumbled fearfully as he also ran for his li… Everyone, knowing how unreasonable the Lion Kings normally are quickly ran for their lives, and before long, only Xavier, the fainted Lion King, the first Lion King who had turned into a raging bull, the dumbstruck bartender, and a horrified Grace were left behind. “Die!!!!” The First Lion King roared with rage and closed in on Xavier, throwing his tightly clenched fist at his face with all the strength he could muster. Watching this scene, the hearts of the bartender and Grace trembled, knowing that there was no way Xavier would be able to dodge or survive the attack. Although they weren’t the ones receiving it, they felt the strong force originating from it and trying to destroy them, making the two ladies shut their eyes just as the attack was an inch away from hitting Xavier’s face, unable to handle the scene that would follow. They brace themselves, expecting a shrill scream, but then a deafening silence was what they heard, lasting for a long time until the ladies could no longer handle their confusion. ‘What happened?’ they thought and squinted open their eyes, wanting to sneak a peak at what had happened. What came into their view the next second made their eyes widen in stupefaction. “Am—am I dreaming?” The bartender mumbled to herself dumbly before quickly pinching her arm. Having worked in the bar for a few years, she had long learned about the strength of the two Lion Kings, able to face the attacks of five able-bodied men without breaking a sweat, yet… “You—you—you…” the Lion King, who had attacked Xavier with madness and hatred earlier finally returned to his senses and stuttered as he eventually experienced what his brother had gone through a moment ago and to say he was terrified right now was nothing but an understatement. He had never thought the seemingly weak Xavier who looked like someone he could pinch to death with his fingers would be able to stop his punch with just a single hand. He thought he was dreaming as he stared at Xavier casually holding his arm that was tightly bulging with his thick veins from exerting all his strength. “You—you—who… who are you?” He finally completed and Xavier, staring composedly at him sighed. “I didn’t want any trouble; I just wanted to prevent you from committing an immoral deed while enjoying my peace. Why did you and your brother have to push my hand?” he asked helplessly, leaving the Lion King and the bartender stunned. ‘You didn’t want trouble and yet you interfered in our business, even castrating my brother! What nonsense was that?!’ He yelled in his mind, almost sobbing, but dared not to speak out. “Plea—please forgive me, master. I—I was just too blind to see the elephant in the room! Please forgive me!” The bartender, “_” ‘Is this still the First of the two shameless and evil self-acclaimed Lion kings?’ She thought blankly before hurriedly glancing back at Xavier. Her heart began to pound frantically in her chest and she became filled with curiosity for him, meanwhile, Xavier, not realizing what he had caused to the bartender suddenly gazed seriously at the Lion King. Given how you and that fool behaved today and the things I learned, you two love getting ladies drunk so that you can have your ways with them, no?” “I—I… “ The Lion King became further terrified. If those who had run for their lives out of fear were to witness this scene, they would have been stunned to death, but since no one was there, they couldn’t have in their entire lives imagined what had transpired after they escaped. “I—tonight was our first time and I have never had the intention of forcing myself on anybody,” the lion king sobbed, regretting why he and his brother hadn't ignored or begged Xavier to mind his business earlier. “Please forgive me!” He pleaded desperately, wishing nothing but to escape right now. Xavier watched the horrified Lion King without reacting for a moment, while the two ladies stared at him, waiting to see what he would do. Eventually, he sighed deeply. “As I mentioned earlier, I only wanted to have some drink in peace.”Latest Chapter
Chapter 1178 - Xavier’s Puzzle
*****A faint smile tugged at Xavier’s lips.Buying a new phone during a trip sounded reasonable enough to him, and the idea seemed to amuse him slightly, making the corners of his mouth curve upward.Still, after a few seconds of thought, he ultimately shook his head and released a quiet sigh.“Whatever,” he said softly. “I will just charge it when I get home and ask Dorothy about the situation.”With that small matter settled, Xavier leaned back into the incredibly comfortable leather seat of the Escalade.The vehicle’s interior was practically luxurious enough to be mistaken for a private lounge. The cushioning molded perfectly to his body, and the subtle hum of the engine created a strangely soothing background noise.Then he closed his eyes.Xavier had not slept for even a single minute since the previous day.For most people, that would have already caused them to collapse, but for Xavier…He wasn’t affected per se, and even if things got worse, all he needed was a bri
Chapter 1177 - Xavier’s Travel Plan
*****The final herb Xavier needed wasn’t just rare, it was legendary, something that couldn’t be cultivated or artificially grown in a greenhouse or farm.Instead, it had to be a naturally grown wild specimen that had survived in nature for more than a century… a wild oneIn the world of medicinal herbs, that distinction meant everything.Cultivated herbs… even high-quality ones could never match the purity and potency of a naturally grown wild plant that had endured decades of natural growth.And because of that…Such items were almost impossible to obtain.That was precisely why Xavier had been concerned about it from the very beginning, yet now…“Hufff!”He exhaled a small sigh, and in the following second, the faint frown on his face gradually eased.“At least I already know where I can find one,” he muttered quietly.With that said, a small smile slowly appeared on his lips, the tension in his eyes softening slightly.“Moreover, there are still three days before the
Chapter 1176 - An Unexpected Gift
*****Ironically, the chaos shaking the entirety of Riverton City right now… families trembling, fortunes collapsing, power shifting, and powerful figures panicking, was caused… indirectly by Xavier.And yet, the man responsible for all of it was completely oblivious.Instead, he sat quietly inside his luxurious black Escalade SUV right now, staring into nothingness like someone who had merely finished an afternoon stroll, his posture relaxed, yet, his mind far away.Yes… his own.The vehicle he occupied was no ordinary car, and no… he didn’t purchase it.Instead, this black Escalade belonged to Sage Myron… his personal, official, and most treasured vehicle.The modifications of this vehicle alone… reinforced armor plating, multi-layer bulletproof glass, high-grade communication systems, and a custom suspension system, had reportedly cost more than the vehicle itself.It was essentially a moving fortress, and yet…When Xavier had decided to leave the estate earlier, Sage Myro
Chapter 1175 – The Patriarch’s Revenge On His Family
*****“What can we do?” the patriarch asked calmly, his question landing like a stone dropped into still water.For a brief moment, Mason, Nico, and Nico’s wife simply stared at him, their minds struggling to process the unexpected response.They had clearly expected orders, strategies, or at the very least some form of reassurance.Instead, they received a question tossed right back at them.The three exchanged uneasy glances.“But… but you are the patriarch, aren’t you?” Mason finally blurted out, his voice trembling with barely restrained panic.The young man’s earlier arrogance had evaporated completely, and right now, he sounded less like the proud heir of a powerful family and more like a frightened child looking for an adult to fix everything.“You must know what we can do,” Nico quickly added, nodding his head vigorously as though reinforcing the idea might magically make it true.His voice carried a forced confidence that fooled absolutely no one. “You’ve always know
Chapter 1174 – The Patriarch’s Disbelief
*****The Orien’s patriarch began to walk back toward his seat.Usually, he carried himself with a straight, commanding posture that radiated authority and pride.His back was always ramrod straight, his steps steady and confident, the very embodiment of a powerful family head.But now?He looked like a completely different person.His shoulders were hunched, his back bent slightly forward.Each step was slow and heavy, like that of a man who had just lost everything he had spent his entire life building.It was the walk of someone who had been defeated.When he reached the podium, his foot caught slightly on the edge of the step, and he nearly stumbled forward.For a brief moment, it seemed as though he might fall flat on his face, but he managed to steady himself at the last second, gripping the podium before slowly climbing onto it.Then he approached his seat, and… he dropped into it.Everyone watched him, holding their breath.At first, they thought the old patriarch
Chapter 1173 – “So… Karma Truly Exists After All.”
*****If the earlier news from the first retainer had already shattered their composure, leaving them reeling in shock, disbelief, and hopelessness, then this announcement was like the final hammer strike that reduced the remaining fragments to dust.“What… what… what did you just say?” the patriarch stammered.For the first time in decades, the old man’s composure was completely shattered.His chest rose and fell erratically, each breath sharp and uneven as if his lungs had suddenly forgotten how to function properly.His fingers trembled uncontrollably, and the look on his face resembled someone who had just been handed his own death certificate.The retainer swallowed nervously but forced himself to continue.“Master… according to the intelligence we received, the… the CCIB has already dispatched agents to seal every physical asset belonging to the Oriens family. That includes all our buildings, our businesses… and this mansion.” His voice dropped into a strained whisper. “T
