*****

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.”

    *****Most faces in the hall remained confused, some stunned, and only a handful showed dawning comprehension.And seeing them, a flicker of disappointment crossed the elder’s expression, but still, he continued.“Fine,” he said, raising one hand slightly. “Let us assume that was some elaborate scheme none of us has uncovered yet.”His tone shifted, sounding sharper now.“What about the Blackwoods?”That single question detonated in the hall.Brows jumped, eyes widened, and murmurs almost started…But he cut them off before anyone could speak.“At least,” he continued, “everyone knows the Harrison Family has historical dealings with Sky Group. So as shocking as their decision was… it wasn’t completely unimaginable.”He paused again, and this time…The silence felt heavier.“But…” he said quietly, almost every breath in the hall becoming strained.“Why would a first-rank family… one of the five strongest, most powerful, and most influential families in Riverton City, not o

    *****As soon as the voice echoed, every gaze in the hall snapped toward the owner, and just then, the man rose slowly, his palms pressing briefly against his knees as if grounding himself before standing.His face remained tense, but his eyes carried the sharp focus of someone piecing together a puzzle under pressure.“I don’t know this Grace Sky girl,” he admitted honestly. “The only time I’ve heard her name was when the Harrison Family handed Project Echelon to her company.”No one responded.They already knew that, and their expressions made it obvious.But the elder continued anyway.“I didn’t take her seriously back then,” he confessed. “I believed she… and her family was merely a front for the Harrisons.”A faint murmur of agreement rippled through the hall, showing that all of them had also believed that.“I believed,” the elder continued, voice tightening slightly, “that Project Echelon had only been handed over on the surface… while the Harrisons retained full contr

    *****On the western side of Riverton City stood an estate whose territory stretched so vast that it resembled a miniature kingdom rather than a residential compound.It featured a range of elegant architectural designs, meticulously maintained landscapes, private lakes, and security systems so advanced that they rivaled military installations, all clearly marking its boundaries.This was Greystone Family’s estate, one of the five five-rank families of Riverton City… a power whose influence could tilt the city and reshape political alliances.Yet at this moment…The atmosphere inside the estate was suffocating, heavy, and oppressive.It felt as though the air itself carried weight, pressing down on every chest, making even breathing an effort.Servants walked quietly, their footsteps cautious, sensing the tension like animals before a storm.Inside the largest hall…On the elevated platform, seated facing the front was the elderly Patriarch.At this moment, the man who had r

    *****Since the shocking revelation that the Sky Family had been renamed the Oriens Family… followed immediately by their immediate withdrawal of both their support and Project Echelon from Sky Group, the entire business sector of Riverton City had descended into utter pandemonium.No…Calling it “the business sector” alone was an understatement.The tremor had rippled through the entirety of Riverton’s upper echelon like a seismic shockwave, rattling every major household, boardroom, and private consortium in the city.Whether it was the third-rank families or the towering first-rank families that normally operated above the chaos, everyone had been equally stunned, equally baffled, and equally ravenous for answers.Conversations had erupted everywhere… private lounges, encrypted chat groups, and emergency board meetings, as people whispered theories.After all…A family changing its name?That alone was already unthinkable.Even ordinary, unranked families would rather go

    *****At this moment, the man who had brought his cell phone earlier to check the Social Media was staring down at it with such intensity that his eyes looked ready to pop out of his skull.His mouth hung slightly open, his expression hovering somewhere between awe, terror, and the spiritual awakening of someone who had just realized his lottery ticket matched every number.It genuinely looked as though he had just seen a pig sprout wings and file for airport clearance.Instinctively, everyone guessed whatever he had discovered had to be connected to the chaos unfolding around them.Yet none of the people outside… the defectors, Sarah’s colleagues, or even Sarah herself, had the audacity to ask. After all, they had just finished stomping on Sky Group’s dignity like it was a welcome mat.Asking one of them a question now would require a level of shamelessness even they couldn’t quite reach.Fortunately…“Brother Jake,” one of the other loyal employees called, her voice tight wi

    *****People shouted over one another, spinning around in confusion, covering one ear, stumbling away, and colliding with others… the whole scene breaking down into loud, chaotic disorder.It was like a marketplace during a riot or a kindergarten where every child suddenly decided to scream at the same time.It was utter madness.“Is there an apocalypse?” a man who hadn’t received a call couldn’t help but mutter half-seriously, turning around in a daze.His heart was beating strangely fast in his chest, his unease crawling up his spine.Then suddenly, a thought struck him.Without hesitation, he pulled out his own phone… not to answer calls, since it wasn’t ringing, or to call, but to open his social media.Meanwhile, after a moment, the chaos around him gradually began to die down.One by one, people lowered their phones, frustration visible on their faces.Most hadn’t heard anything clearly; all they caught were fragmented words through the noise.Now silence slowly envel
