*****

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.”

    *****Yes, the moods of the Scoan father-son duo had been completely shattered since the banquet, after Lyria, representing the Myron family, had publicly humiliated their family.The banquet had ended disastrously, with the Guests who had been laughing and toasting with them earlier suddenly fled as though the estate had caught fire, each departure faster and more awkward than the last.Some hadn’t even bothered hiding their panic.It had been the social equivalent of watching rats abandon a sinking ship… and the Scoans had been left standing on the deck, staring in disbelief as the water rushed in.Since then, their moods hadn’t been good, but… it hadn’t been like this either.With that, they had only been incensed… burning with rage, their egos bruised but still intact.They had ranted endlessly about the hypocrisy of their so-called allies, those upper-second-rank families who supported them when profit seemed guaranteed and immediately distanced themselves the moment risk

    *****It wasn’t only the Greystone family who decided to curry Grace’s favor right now.In another grand estate across the city, the fifth first-rank family had also convened an urgent meeting; their elders, heirs, and patriarch gathered around a polished table.But here, voices overlapped each other, unlike the Greystone estate, speculation collided with theories, and more than one elder nearly argued themselves hoarse trying to deduce the Harrison and Blackwood families’ sudden action.But unfortunately for them, time was a luxury they didn’t possess, and opportunity, in their world, was like a startled deer… hesitate for even a moment, and it vanished forever.And so, likewise abandoning their pride, logic, and even basic investigative diligence, they ultimately reached the same conclusion as the Greystone’s patriarch: curry Grace’s favor first and figure out the reason later.To them, survival mattered more than pride, and preserving their name mattered more than understandi

    *****Of course, Dominic perfectly understood what his father was trying to do; after all, the intention was already too painfully obvious to ignore.Just like the Harrison and Blacwood families, the Greystone Patriarch also wanted to curry Grace’s favor and stand on the same side as them.Although he had no idea about the terrifying opportunity those two families had recognized or the danger that pushed them to do what they did, he didn’t want the Greystones to miss it.It was pure strategic submission, political survival, and calculated humility, all of which Dominic perfectly understood.But…Who was he?He was Dominic Greystone, one of the most feared underground figures in the region… a man whose name alone could silence streets.He was a man who had built his reputation through blood, ruthlessness, and dominance, and now…He was being ordered to not only offer a public apology, but also become someone else’s subordinate.Worse still...The subordinate of the very woma

    *****Every gaze instantly snapped toward Dominic like arrows upon the Patriarch’s words, while Dominic himself jolted violently, appearing as if struck.He looked up at his father, shock and disbelief flooding his features, but before he could utter a single word…“You will not only abort that mission,” the Patriarch continued, his voice firm now, leaving absolutely no room for argument, “but you will also publicly apologize.”The statement alone was shocking enough, but the Patriarch wasn’t finished.“And added to that,” he added, almost casually, “you shall convert your organization into a security force and present it to her as compensation.”Silence.For several seconds that seemed to stretch into eternity, Dominic just stared at his father as if the man had suddenly begun speaking an alien language, time itself seeming frozen.‘Stop my revenge?’‘Publicly apologize?’‘Convert my cartel into a security force?’‘Hand it over to her?’Different questions echoed in his m

    *****“Huff!”The sound of a heavy inhale suddenly tore through the hall, loud and uneven, instantly snapping every nerve tight.In the next second, faces across the room changed in unison, expressions shifting from tense curiosity to outright alarm.It was common knowledge… something every citizen in Riverton City understood from childhood, that the First-Rank families stood at the very pinnacle of power.They were the apex predators of the city’s hierarchy, ruling over industries, wealth, influence, and the lives of more than a million people beneath them.And yet…Two First-Rank families lowering themselves… no, outright currying favor with a nameless woman who had just been expelled from her own family, an ordinary upper second-rank family?The contradiction alone was enough to make anyone’s scalp prickle.It was…Several people swallowed one after the other, cold sweat forming along their temples and backs.It was simply too absurd and too impossible, and yet…“I thou
