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 1039 – The Revercrest Patriarch’s Confusion
*****The wealthy man paused just long enough for silence to consume everything. Then…“For nearly a century now,” he continued calmly, his tone still unnervingly light and flat, “the organization has supported your family.”His words were slow and deliberate, each word landing like a measured step toward a grave.“We empowered your family and shielded it, supplying it with priceless resources, information, influence, and everything you ever needed to rise… and to remain untouchable.”His voice neither rose nor fell. In fact, there was no emphasis or accusation.However, that made it worse. The more he spoke, the more the four men trembled.Their fear didn’t spike… it accumulated, stacking layer upon layer until breathing itself felt dangerous for them.“But despite all this,” the wealthy man continued, “the organization never interfered in anything concerning your family.”This time, his tone finally shifted.It was only slightly. However, that slight change instantly made
Chapter 1038 – The Disordered Brothers
*****At this moment, the wealthy man had completely discarded the harmless, gentle, and casual façade he usually wears in public… the warm smiles, polite manners, and “reasonable businessman” act.What remained was his true nature… vicious, dark, absolute, and merciless.He sat there without moving, his posture relaxed, with one arm resting against the chair as though this wasn’t a moment of life and death but an afternoon inconvenience.His face was utterly blank… so blank that it was terrifying. There was no trace of anger, no satisfaction, and not even boredom on his face. It was just empty, and somehow… this absence of emotion was far more frightening than rage. The kneeling men felt it too, the silence pressing down on them like an invisible blade, each second stretching painfully long.Finally…“Master, please… please give us a second chance!!!”The Rivercrest Patriarch’s voice cracked as he cried out, his pride dissolving completely. “Please, Master! Give us a sec
Chapter 1037 – An Obsequious Revercrest Family
*****Inside an exclusive, obscenely luxurious presidential suite... one that didn’t merely suggest wealth but screamed it.The marble floors gleamed like mirrors underneath the glowing chandeliers, while the walls were draped in fabrics imported from places normal people only saw on postcards, and the entire furniture was handcrafted from rare, overtly expensive gold-wood.However, currently at the center of this room, four figures knelt on the ground, shaking uncontrollably before a red royal chair.And these four people… they were far from being insignificant. Certainly not disposable pawns or background figures meant to be ignored.No.In fact, if anyone in Riverton City were to walk into this room right now and see this scene, their mind would reject it on instinct, their eyes would deny it, and their brain would short-circuit, desperately trying to wake them from what had to be nothing but a dream. And why?These four were among the most feared, respected, and untouchable
Chapter 1036 – The Right-hand Man’s Wake Up Call
*****For a split second, the OSD genuinely didn’t know whether to laugh hysterically or break down and scream, the absurdity of what was currently going on lodging itself in her chest like a splinter.“So this is how it is now?” she sneered, her lips curling as her rage boiled dangerously close to the surface. “We are all going to push the blame on me now, are we?” Her laugh came sharp and humorless. “Amazing! This is truly inspiring teamwork!!”Her voice rose, brimming with the emotions she had not even the slightest intention of hiding.“When I suggested that the Prime Minister might have been controlled by… unconventional means, why didn’t a single one of you refute it?” Her finger jabbed the air with every word. “Not one. When I said I knew someone who might understand what was happening and have a solution for it, why did you all follow me like obedient little ducks?”Her breathing grew uneven, fury rolling off her in waves. “Why didn’t you reject my idea then?” she demande
Chapter 1035 – The Blaming Game
*****Of course, the Prime Minister knew exactly why he had completely forgotten about the wealthy man, and the reason.And the reason was as simple as simplicity could get.No matter how influential and powerful the man was, and no matter how world-shaking his Project would have been for Riverton… none of it amounted to even one percent of the importance of attending to Xavier.That was the cold, undeniable truth.In fact, if fate rewound itself and the same situation were to happen again… the Prime Minister would still undo exactly what he had done without hesitation, doubt, or even the faintest trace of regret.However…That didn’t mean responsibility could be abandoned.No matter what, power came with consequences, and even choices made without remorse still required correction.So…Once the storm in the old man’s chest settled and his breathing returned to normal, the Prime Minister lifted his gaze and calmly asked, “Where is he now?”The sudden calmness in his voice m
Chapter 1034 – The Prime Minister’s Relief
*****Of course, the Prime Minister noticed every tremor, every bead of sweat, and every shallow, panicked breath of the five aides.But he doesn’t feel satisfied… not even the slightest bit.And why would he be?He five hadn’t merely intentionally misunderstood a situation; they had even accused the Erudite Grandmaster of being a Black Voodoo user, controlling him with black voodoo.Dang it.They had even mobilized armed men… trained killers to come deal with him, and probably even execute him.The mere thought made the Prime Minister feel a chill race down his spine, his heart skipping violently in his chest, especially knowing well that this particular conversation wouldn’t even be happening if they had actually met Xavier.Even if he personally wouldn’t allow a single weapon to be raised, what about the sheer insult, humiliation, and casual disregard?The Prime Minister’s soul nearly leapt out of his body in terror.For the first time since Xavier left, he felt genuine,
