*****

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.”

    *****At this moment, the four Oriens…The once untouchable patriarch, his equally scheming son, and the two treasured, endlessly pampered, and domineering grandchildren…Were all in handcuffs.That’s right.Cold, metallic handcuffs clamped tightly around their wrists like a brutal declaration that whatever power they once flaunted had been mercilessly stripped from them.The only one spared was Nico’s wife, while the other four…Witnessing this scene from Villa Number One's huge living room, Grace and her parents genuinely questioned their own eyesight for a moment.It felt like one of those absurd dreams where reality bends so far it snaps, except this time… no matter how hard they blinked, nothing corrected itself.Ever since they knew the Oriens’ patriarch… the imposter who had once been in control of the Sky family under the guise of righteousness, he had always been a figure of cold authority: distant, calculating, and intimidating.Every word he spoke had carried weig

    *****At this moment, the Sky Mansion was packed to the brim, overflowing with journalists, streamers, onlookers, and cameramen, with microphones thrust forward like weapons and voices rising everywhere.It looked less like a residence and more like the epicenter of a breaking scandal.But what truly stood out were the armed men in striking red jackets, all fully equipped and ready.They stood in a perfect line, forming a long, disciplined path that stretched deep into the estate, their presence alone enough to hold back the chaotic crowd pressing against them.No one dared cross that line.Not even the most desperate reporter.“The Central Criminal Intelligence Bureau,” David blurted out, his voice sharp with recognition.By then, everyone except Laura and little Lola had already realized the same thing, their eyes narrowing slightly as the implication began to settle in.‘Why would the CCIB be there?’ Williams wondered, his brows furrowing deeply.‘What’s going on?’ Susan

    *****The Blackwoods were understandable. Their motives were practically written in bold letter, but the Greystones… their involvement didn’t align cleanly with anything he knew.He replayed possibilities, motives, and hidden intentions, but nothing clicked, and for someone like Xavier, that was mildly irritating.After a few seconds, he gave up.‘No point racking my brain over something I can’t deduce,’ he decided calmly, lazily dismissing the thought as easily as he would brush dust off his sleeve.With that, his gaze shifted back to the television.It was on break.Right now, a loud, cheerful advertisement played across the screen, completely out of place against the emotional turmoil filling the room. The contrast felt almost jarring.A smiling family happily drinking juice, a man laughing over discounted furniture, and someone shouting about limited-time offers like the world hadn’t just tilted off its axis.It was completely absurd, and then…The break ended.A second

    *****At this moment, whether it was Grace, her mother, her father, David, Laura, or even little Lola…Every single one of them stood frozen like lifeless statues… unable to move, blink, or make even the slightest sound.Their eyes had widened so much that it honestly felt like a miracle they hadn’t popped out and rolled across the floor.Absolutely no one had seen any of this coming.Not even Xavier.Yes… he knew about the Harrisons.That part wasn’t surprising… after all, he had arranged it himself, though not exactly the way they had executed it. He had only intended for them to put the Oriens in their place and eliminate any form of scandal against Grace and her company.But the Blackwoods… and the Greystones…That part was completely outside his expectations.Xavier’s gaze remained fixed on the screen, but his thoughts were already moving.‘Perhaps the Blackwoods are easier to understand,’ the thought suddenly crossed his mind. ‘They’re likely using this opportunity to

    *****“This…”Nearly every eye bugged, almost falling out of their sockets.By now, every single person in the living room had turned completely rigid, appearing as though time itself had suddenly paused and forgotten to resume.Their bodies were stiff, unmoving, and their gazes glued tightly to the television as the reporter continued to highlight the events of the day without the slightest intention of slowing down for their sanity.[- Furthermore, the Blackwood family expressed profound admiration for CEO Grace Sky’s talent and leadership, proposing a corporate merger in which Blackwood Conglomerate would integrate with Sky Group under her direction, placing her in the leading position.]This time, the news didn’t just land… it crashed, nearly all brain seeming to implode.‘Corporate… merge?’ The words rang through every mind like a bell, unfamiliar and almost incomprehensible, as if spoken in a language none of them had ever heard before today. ‘Integrate Blackwood with… Sk
