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 1232 – Silas’s Urgency
*****Time stretched unnaturally, each passing second feeling heavier than the last.For what felt like an eternity, Silas remained frozen in place, neither moving nor reacting, until finally, his lips parted again.“Have… the other first-rank families discovered his identity?” he whispered to himself, the words coming out slow and uneven, sounding as though they were forcing themselves through a tightening throat.The thought struck him with the force of a lightning bolt, and almost immediately, his entire body reacted… trembling uncontrollably as a cold sweat broke out across his skin.“My… my family has indeed… kicked an iron boulder this time,” he muttered, his face pale as the weight of realization settled heavily on him.His voice wavered despite his effort to steady it, the fear now impossible to hide. “Seems not just our legs would be broken this time, but… we might even be vaporized.”The words hung in the air, grim and suffocating, as the full extent of the situation
Chapter 1231 – Silas’s Realization
*****For a split second, Silas genuinely believed something had gone wrong… either he had opened the wrong page or the platform had somehow redirected him to a completely different region.After all, what he was seeing wasn’t just strange or unexpected… it was downright absurd, the kind that made you question whether reality itself had briefly lost its mind.There was no way something like this should be appearing in Riverton’s trending section, not with the people involved and certainly not under normal circumstances.Silas immediately checked the page again, then again… and again, his movements growing slightly sharper each time as though he could force the truth to change through sheer persistence.He refreshed, backed out, re-entered, and even checked the region settings just to be certain he hadn’t somehow misclicked in a moment of distraction.Each time, he expected a correction… some small shift that would confirm this was all a mistake. But there was none.No matter ho
Chapter 1230 – Silas’s Disbelief
*****“The moment the incidents occurred, social media exploded,” the subordinate began, his tone tightening as he recalled the events. “Accounts everywhere began to post, repost, and spread it like wildfire. For a time, it was complete chaos.”Silas’s expression didn’t change, but his eyes sharpened slightly.“As expected,” the man continued, “damage control kicked in quickly. Within an hour, most of the posts were wiped clean like they were never there.”A faint, humorless smirk tugged at the corner of Silas’s lips.“That sounds more like them,” he murmured under his breath.“But…” the subordinate hesitated briefly before continuing, “for some reason, Anonymous404 stepped in. They posted a new report… far more detailed, and just like that… everything exploded again.”Silas’s brows furrowed deeply, his eyes narrowing into slits.He didn’t interrupt or ask questions.He remained silent, listening as the subordinate explained what had led to the incident… what had driven his f
Chapter 1229 – Anonymous404’s Reputation
*****Anonymous404 was a group that existed in the shadows… unseen, untraceable, and utterly untouchable.They weren’t rumors or myths spoken about by bored elites trying to scare each other into behaving… they are painfully and inconveniently real.This group held verified accounts across every major media platform in the city, with a loud, undeniable presence.However, their identities and physical locations remained a complete void… nothing but an empty question mark no one had ever been able to fill.Every first-rank family and top-tier force with even a shred of influence had poured resources into uncovering them.Hackers, intelligence units, and private investigators… some even went so far as to recruit defectors from rival factions to gain an edge.Yet all of it led to the same result… nothing.Not a trace, clue, or even digital footprint that could be chased.It was as if Anonymous404 didn’t operate within the system… but above it, or worse… outside of it entirely.T
Chapter 1228 – Silas’s Concern
*****Instinctively, Silas didn’t even bother reading the headline at first.Instead, his gaze snapped upward toward the source of the post, focusing on the profile behind the publication.And then…His heart skipped a beat.“These… guys?” he muttered in a daze, his expression instantly turning grave.He stared at the mask… the infamous, mocking, and almost taunting symbol staring right back at him from the profile picture…The Guy Fawkes mask.It didn’t smirk, but somehow, it felt like it was.Seeing this, Silas swallowed and hurriedly dragged his gaze downward, finally forcing himself to read the headline.And the moment he did…“This…”His eyes widened so abruptly it looked as though they might physically pop out of their sockets, and his heartbeat spiked violently, slamming against his ribs with such force it genuinely felt like it might break free and sprint away from his body in protest.“How…?”His lips parted slowly, disbelief freezing his expression in place as
Chapter 1227 – Silas’s Confusion
*****Silas slipped his phone out of his pocket and glanced at the caller ID.But in the very next second, his brows drew together ever so slightly… not enough to be obvious, but enough to betray a flicker of curiosity.Then, without hesitation, he pressed the green button and lifted the device to his ear.“Any new intel for me?” he asked, his tone deliberately casual and almost bored, as he stretched his neck and let out a lazy yawn.The performance was flawless, enough to leave anyone listening to assume he was a man completely at ease… someone with no racing thoughts, and certainly no recent brush with a walking disaster named Xavier.There was a brief pause on the other end.A little too long, enough that Silas’s eyes shifted faintly, suspicion creeping in as he wondered whether the call had dropped… or whether the caller had suddenly lost the ability to speak altogether.He was just about to pull the phone away and check the screen when…“Master,” a voice finally came th
