“These demons are here again! Why?” Laura became terrified, hearing the playful and condescending roar. Trembling, she forced herself to her feet and rushed out with a panicky countenance. “Ma—master Frosh Junior, I—I had no idea you were coming today,” she stuttered nervously. Currently standing outside the dilapidated and partially collapsed house was a 17-year-old young man with a small build. He wore a brightly colored outfit consisting of baggy trousers hanging halfway down his butt, an oversized shirt three times his size, and a bandana tied around his head, exuding an air of arrogance. Standing proudly behind the boy was a group of gangsters, all presently glaring at Laura in disdain a disgust. "You old hag, why did you intentionally make elder brother waste his strength calling you? Weren't you supposed to have been out waiting for him?" one of the gangsters behind Frosh Junior abruptly asked as soon as Laura appeared, causing her to shiver from apprehension. “I—I dare not. I—I immediately ran out the moment I heard Master Frosh Junior’s call and I had no idea he was coming,” she stuttered. “So, you’re calling me what? A liar?” The gangster who had just interrogated Laura pressed further, causing Laura’s heart to sink. “I—I dare not! I dare not!” She panicked even more. “What do you mean, then, you stupid old hag?” Another gangster inquired angrily and the following second, he stepped arrogantly toward Laura, his eyes flashing with fierceness. "Also, how many times do we have to tell you to always be on your knees when meeting the elder brother? Do you enjoy getting beaten up that much?” “I—I… please forgive me!” Laura cried out and hurriedly fell to her knees, her heart sinking more from fear of getting beaten up. Right now, she just wanted the gangsters to leave, cause which mother would want their child to see them being oppressed like this? None. “Ma—master Frosh Junior, I—I thought you—you already came yesterday for this week’s protection f*e, why—why are you here again today?” she inquired, but as soon as she was done asking, she realized she had made a grave mistake. As she had expected, all the gangsters went silent upon hearing her, staring at her as though she had turned into an alien. Well, since the gangsters weren’t a major threat unless their leader gave them the go-ahead, Laura quickly glanced at the face of the devil, and the look she saw there sent her heart straight to hell. It was a look of rage. “So, you think that because I haven't let my boys touch you recently, you have the right to question when I can or cannot come?” Frosh Junior asked with a menacing tone. “I—I dare not!” “Master, just give us the go-ahead to teach this old hag a lesson!” “How dare she speak to you in such a manner!” “We’ve told you that not letting us deal with these old fools will only make them more arrogant!” The gangsters, as if they were the ones Laura had just addressed or insulted, snapped back to their senses and went into a frenzy. Their eyes turned vicious as they yelled, causing Laura to shiver uncontrollably and turn ashen with trepidation. “Silence!” Frosh Junior suddenly barked, causing the gangsters and Laura to tremble hard. “Elder—” “I say silence!” Frosh Junior barked again, shooting a death glare at the unwilling gangster. After that, he glanced back at Laura, causing her heart to start banging in her chest. She thought she was done for already, but then contrary to her thought, Frosh Junior abruptly smirked. “Well, can you blame me for coming back today after I just collected your protection f*e yesterday for this week?” He inquired playfully. The faces of Laura and the gangsters went blank and they stared at Frosh Junior in a daze as though he were an alien after hearing him. Frosh Junior smirked even more before continuing, “After getting home yesterday and counting all the protection money I received, I realized that your house, being in such poor condition, requires more protection than usual, meaning that the protection f*e you will pay from now on will naturally double that of the past.” “This…” Laura’s soul dropped. “You—you are doubling our house’s protection f*e?” She enquired with disbelief, her entire body trembling as though she had just heard a piece of really bad news. “Ma—master, have—have you forgotten that my husband and I struggle to save every single penny we earn just to pay the previous protection f*e? How—how are we supposed to come up with twice the amount when it usually takes us forever to earn just one payment in the past?” she cried with rapidly redden eyes. “Hahahaha,” Frosh Junior laughed as if he had just heard a funny joke, then abruptly smirked wickedly. “How does it concern me even if you two starve and work yourself to death to come up with the money?” “All I’m telling you is that starting from now, you will pay two times the protection f*e you paid in the past.” “You—you…” Laura trembled harder, but then she sighed heavily, recalling that her son was around and she did not want him to see her in her current situation. She stared unwillingly at Frosh Junior, who only smirked playfully at her in return before she picked up the helm of her long skirt, where there was a small knot. “I told you the old hag will definitely have some money on her,” One of the gangsters spat playfully, not minding that Laura would hear. Laura, pained to the core loosened the knot, and then with a trembling hand, she took the entire life savings of herself and her husband out. “This is all the money my family has in heaven and on earth, please accept it,” she respectfully presented it over to Frosh Junior. “Hahahaha, now we are talking,” Frosh Junior laughed excitedly and sauntered arrogantly over to receive the money. The instant he saw the amount in Laura’s outstretched hand, however, he was left dumbstruck and it wasn’t only himself, but all his men included. “Big brother, looks like this old hag has seen us as a group of beggars,” one of the gangsters abruptly stated while Frosh Junior; His eyes rapidly turned aggressive. “Did you just hand this to me?” He inquired with a furious tremble. “That’s all the money my family has in savings and it was meant to prepare a meal for us today as we hadn’t eaten anything in days due to saving your money,” Laura weakly responded with blurry and pained eyes. “Five cents?” Frosh Junior inquired with disbelief and in the next second, he laughed with rage. “Beat this old bitch up right now until she brings out all the money she has, and if she still fails, destroy this run-down house.” He ordered “Yes, big brother,” the gangsters behind Frosh Junior eagerly responded before rushing forward, happily flexing their arms. “I’ve even been dying to beat you up since,” one of them said excitedly before raising his hand to slap Laura in the face. Just as the hand was on the verge of hitting Laura, however, a sudden strong coldness descended almost freezing the soul of everyone present. “I swear on my life that I will destroy you down to your last lineage if that hand dares to touch her,” a voice so terrifying that it seemed to come from the deepest layer of hell echoed, striking fear into the soul of everyone who heard it.

Why did you make her kneel?” he suddenly inquired, making everyone become astonished for a moment, Frosh Junior included before an even more playful smirk appeared on his lips. “Since you know your place and ask nicely, I will tell you if she hadn’t,” he responded arrogantly before sparing Laura a disgusting glance. “I am the king and protector of this district, meaning that everyone who sees me will need to knee to me, otherwise, they would be beaten to a pulp, the same way you would from now on if you refuse to knee,” he explained oppressive

He then glanced urgently at his mother, only to find her trembling with a look of horror and helplessness, with sweat rolling down the side of her face as she cautiously watched the knife pressed against her neck. ‘How—how dare he?!

In the next moment, Laura was stunned, the crowd was stunned, and most especially, Frosh Junior. He stared blankly at the twitching arm on the ground for a long time, unable to react before slowly turning his gaze to Xavier's emotionless face, which now appeared demonic. He had never expected Xavier to go ahead and still act despite all the warnings he had received from everyone, especially from his own mother. “You…” he dazedly pointed at him with a finger from his other hand, trembling slightly.

***** Like every other place, Riverton City also has its own share of dons—rulers of the underworld domains, and Frosh happens to be among the well-known ones, particularly in the slum area. He is recognized not only for his overprotectiveness toward his younger brother but also for his courage, ruthlessness, and, most notably, his status as a ranked fighter—one of the attributes that make one a fearsome figure in Riverton City.

Hadn’t he done it all just in order to gain Xavier’s favor?Why had he swallowed every ounce of humiliation hurled at him from those two vermin without so much as a protest?Why had he continued showing deference to the couple when it was glaringly obvious from the start that they were nothing but frauds?And yet…With his heart pounding erratically in his chest, the soldier, ever so slowly and uneasily, turned his head… his gaze settling for the first time on Xavier.Xavier was also currently staring at him.But not with anger.Not with ridicule.But with a mildly amused expression on his face.Seeing this, the soldier’s blood ran cold in his veins, and for a second, he couldn’t react, then;‘He…’His breath hitched… his mind shrieking

Then his lips parted, but no coherent words came out.“I… I don’t… I have…” he stammered, his mind spinning in a chaotic mess.Victor and Jennifer, meanwhile, narrowed their eyes at the soldier’s peculiar reaction.For a brief moment, they exchanged glances, the same realization striking them both like a bolt of lightning.‘Could it be… that this idiot of a guard was the one who had actually smuggled this ex-convict into OceanView Estate?’In the next instant, their eyes gleamed with sudden excitement.This… this was it!Just a few days ago, they had been

Are they trying to get me killed?!’ He yelled in his mind.His pulse began to thunder against his ribs, his legs turning weak beneath him.‘Thank the heavens that I managed to control my rage just now and haven’t acted on my impulse. If I had, I wouldn’t have even realized how I died.’ He thought, his breath coming in shaky bursts as panic clawed at his insides.Just then;“You brainless mutt!”Jennifer’s sharp, scathing voice cut through the soldier’s thoughts like a whip, jolting him back to his senses."Why in the unholy hells are you still standing there gawking? Are you deaf? Did you not hear this mother give you an order?!" she
