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 1243 – An Embarrassed David
*****Grace’s fingers fidgeted unconsciously, betraying her inner turmoil, her composure cracking in the smallest, most telling ways.Then there was Xavier.On any normal day, he would have pounced on the opportunity without the slightest hint of restraint.He would’ve worn that insufferably grin of his, his eyes gleaming with mischief as he tossed out something utterly shameless… just bold enough to make her fluster, just outrageous enough to leave her scrambling.He would have thoroughly enjoyed every second of her embarrassment, like it was a show put on just for him.But now…“Wife,” he called out, his voice deeper than usual, but unmistakably gentle.Grace paused.For the briefest moment, it felt as though time itself had slowed, her thoughts hanging suspended in that delicate, breathless space between hesitation and surrender.Then, quietly, she lifted her gaze and met his eyes again.And that was all it took.In the very next second, she was completely drawn in.Xa
Chapter 1242 – Xavier’s Emotional Rollercoaster
*****“…Huh?”Xavier’s mouth parted slightly after hearing Susan, his brain lagging behind the sudden praise.But before he could process it…Susan leaned in slightly, her eyes suddenly bright with excitement.“I loved how fearless you were in front of those ridiculous Oriens,” she continued, her voice rising with enthusiasm. “Giving it back to them one after another and defending my daughter without letting them bully you like they always try to do to us!”Xavier: “…”For a brief second, his mind went completely blank.‘What is she talking about…?’Then it clicked.She was referring to the confrontation at the former Sky Estate, where he alone had faced the entire Oriens and methodically torn apart their overinflated sense of family pride.‘Ah… that.’Realization dawned fully on Xavier, and before he could stop himself, a grin slowly crept onto Xavier’s face.Susan leaned in slightly, her eyes suddenly bright with excitement.‘My mother-in-law is petty,’ he thought, dee
Chapter 1241 – The Proud Husband and Wife
*****Xavier held Williams’ gaze for a brief moment, his expression calm yet steady, as though weighing his words before letting them out.Then, without hesitation, he responded in a tone that was simple… but carried an undeniable weight.“We are family, after all.”The words landed, and Williams froze.For a split second, he didn’t react at all… instead, his expression locked in place as though his mind had stalled, trying to process something far deeper than the sentence itself.It wasn’t just what was said… it was how naturally it had been said, as if there had never been a question about it.Then…“Hahaha!”Williams burst into loud, unrestrained laughter, the sound rich with genuine delight as his earlier composure shattered completely.“I love that word!” he declared proudly, clearly pleased, his eyes shining with an emotion he didn’t even bother to hide.Watching the exchange, David and Laura couldn’t help but beam, their expressions filled with quiet pride.There wa
Chapter 1240 – Williams’ Satisfaction
*****As Williams spoke, he stepped closer to Xavier, closing the distance between them with measured steps.His gaze lingered, sharp yet warm, as he carefully examined the young man standing before him… not with suspicion this time, but with approval.“Thank you,” he added sincerely, lifting a hand to pat Xavier’s shoulder.The gesture was firm, deliberate, and carried the kind of acknowledgment that words alone couldn’t fully express. “You are the kind of son-in-law any father would pray for.”‘This…’For once, Xavier found himself completely caught off guard.The words hit him harder than expected… not because they were overwhelming, but because they were so… direct and unfiltered.He wasn’t used to this kind of open praise.Instinctively, he scratched the top of his nose and glanced downward, his expression betraying a rare trace of awkwardness.And that… was all it took.“Hahaha!”Williams burst into loud, hearty laughter, the sound echoing through the room as though

Chapter 1239 – Williams’ Surprise
*****Xavier didn’t realize when the corners of his lips lifted further, forming a brighter, softer smile.‘Then my worry was meaningless,’ he thought quietly, a sense of relief washing over him as he recalled how concerned he had been about his mother’s acceptance of his in-laws living under the same roof.He had worried for nothing, and somehow… that realization felt incredibly light.With that thought settling, Xavier shifted his gaze again, this time toward Susan.She was watching Little Lola in his arms, and in her eyes…There was something that made Xavier pause again.It was affection… pure and undiluted, the kind that wasn’t built over time, but appeared suddenly and naturally, as though it had always been there waiting to surface.It caught him off guard.‘Didn’t she just meet Little Lola?’ he wondered, confusion flickering briefly through his mind.But then understanding slowly dawned on him.Xavier glanced down at the little girl still clinging to him, watching a
