*****

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.”

It wasn’t even staged.No.It was confident, dominant, and arrogant even.And in that moment, it confirmed everything.‘This…’ dozens of hearts clenched at once.'He really is her husband?'Gasps moved like ripples through the crowd. Some men looked as if they’d been punched in the chest, while others… especially those who had once pursued Grace, stood shell-shocked, as if some priceless artifact had been stolen right before their eyes.“You… then you mean to tell us that this… this brat is truly your husband?” the balding middle-aged man asked, his voice tight with disbelief and rising fury.His eyes, once laced with disdain, now flared with resentment.

That this… this nobody is your husband? What a convenient excuse to cover up blatant favoritism!”His mockery was loud and theatrical, his laughter echoing through the lobby like a villain in a bad stage play.At first, the crowd blinked in confusion, unsure if they should laugh or stay stunned. But then slowly, realization began to dawn on them, and just like that, murmurs spread, and disbelief curdled into indignation.“This seemed to be right,” someone muttered under their breath. “She has never dated anyone before, let alone marry, so where does this husband come f

    ***** For a heartbeat… then two, the entire reception area plunged into eerie, absolute silence. Not a breath was heard, not a cough, not a whisper, not even the slightest shuffle of expensive loafers on polished marble. The atmosphere was so still that it could have been carved from ice. Men and women alike… whether they were young elites brimming with ambition or aging tycoons seasoned by years in the corporate trenches, stood utterly motionless, their eyes fixed on Grace Sky as though she had just announced the apocalypse. The word “husband” echoed like thunder across the stunned minds of everyone present. Executives, secretaries, heirs of vast empires, CEOs of multi-billion-dollar conglomerates… all appeared motionless, their expressions frozen in varying degrees of disbelief. "Hus… husband?" The word ricocheted itself like a looping whisper through the minds of those present, as if questioning its own existence. Had they heard wrong? Was this some elaborate prank? Gr

    *****( Bonus Chapter )A chorus of nods followed the balding man’s words, and dozens of elites murmured in agreement with him, their eyes blazing with shared grievance.But still, Grace said nothing.No rebuttal. No denial. Not even a twitch in her brow, as though she couldn’t hear the insults and condescension, and accusation.And this… it made some amongst the crowd even more furious.But not all.In one quiet corner of the room, six individuals sat in luxurious silence. Unlike the rest, they hadn’t joined in the noisy uproar. They didn’t scream. They didn’t stomp. They didn’t clap mockingly or shout demands.They merely watched.Ava. Theodore. Harlan. Yan. Bianca. And the handsome Lucas.Six giants of the elite world. Their presence here had already sent shockwaves through the industry. For them to personally come for a company partnership? Unheard of.

    *****Grace hadn’t raised her voice when she spoke just now.She didn’t need to. Her presence alone, draped in quiet power and authority, was enough to silence the madness in one breath.One second passed. Then another.And, finally… like vultures spotting a wounded deer, the angry mob turned their accusations toward her.“So, this is the kind of leader you are after all!” a well-dressed, middle-aged man sneered, stepping forward with arrogant indignation. His Rolex flashed beneath his blazer sleeve as he pointed an accusatory finger at Grace. “All this time, you’ve pretended to be fair, claiming you don’t accept gifts or bribes. And yet, here you are… showing blatant favoritism!”“So, it was all a façade,” another chimed in bitterly. “Just like every other hypocrite who rises to power… your neutrality was only an illusion.”“You’ve lost our trust, Grace Sky,” a woman said sharply. “And that will cost your company everything.”Dozens of fingers pointed. Dozens of voices piled

A wave of sound hit them like a brick wall.“Favoritism! Nepotism! This is outrageous!”“Do you take us all for fools?!”“You’d better come up with a better explanation for the outright bias you just displayed, or we’ll ensure that this company faces the consequences!”“You’ll pay dearly for this insult to our integrity!”“What errant nonsense!”The words slammed into the couple like a wall of heat and fury.
