“You—” Xavier froze in his tracks and his eyes widened significantly, seeing the scary scene before him.

Unlike what Frosh Junior had dreaded that caused him to take Laura hostage, Xavier hadn’t even had him in mind. Instead, he had merely wanted to help his mother back to her feet, yet…

Following Xavier’s shock, strong tremors coursed through his body and a cold sweat covered him.

He then glanced urgently at his mother, only to find her trembling with a look of horror and helples

  • Chapter 1426 – The Patriarch’s Delusion II

    *****Meanwhile, the patriarch.All his fear had vanished so completely that it was hard to believe it had ever existed in the first place.The trembling, the pale face, the disbelief that had nearly made him collapse moments ago… everything had disappeared without a trace.It was as though someone had simply wiped those reactions from existence.Now, he stood there with a broad grin plastered across his face, looking absurdly pleased with himself.“To actually manage to deceive me so thoroughly…” he said, slowly shaking his head while staring at Xavier. “You deserve a tremendous accolade.”His tone carried genuine admiration, leaving some of the crowd rolling their eyes speechlessly.After all, a moment ago, this same man had looked as though he had just met the god of death in person.“In fact,” he continued with a smug smile, “I would have loved to obtain that skill from you. A technique capable of creating such a terrifying illusion is truly extraordinary.”Several people subconsc

  • Chapter 1425 – The Patriarch’s Delusion

    *****The moment those words entered their ears, an indescribable chill swept through the crowd.It felt as though someone had dragged them naked into a prison carved from ten thousand years of ice.Their skin tightened, their blood seemed to slow, and several people nearly stumbled backward despite standing completely still.Trembling, everyone turned.Xavier stood exactly where he had been all along.His hands remained casually stuffed inside his pockets, his posture remained relaxed, and his expression remained indifferent.Nothing about him had changed.And somehow, that made everything infinitely more terrifying.Looking at him now, nobody could reconcile the image before them with the young man they had mocked, ridiculed, dismissed, and treated as prey.He still looked harmless, lazy, and like someone who should have been sipping tea somewhere instead of standing in the middle of a battlefield.Yet the crowd could no longer convince itself of that lie.Right now, they instinctiv

  • Chapter 1424 – The Crowds’ Disbelief

    *****The Revercrest Patriarch, who had maintained an air of absolute composure throughout the entire ordeal and treated the prospect of taking lives as a trivial matter, was trembling now.It wasn’t slightly or subtly, but instead… violently.His entire body shook so frantically that he looked like someone suffering a severe seizure.His fingers twitched uncontrollably, his lips quivered, and cold sweat poured down his face like rainwater.Earlier, when Xavier's aura had reached B-rank, he had merely been stunned for a brief moment before regaining control. But now…Every ounce of authority had shattered, every trace of dignity had evaporated, and every shred of superiority had been crushed into dust.He no longer resembled a patriarch.Instead, he looked like a man who had accidentally opened the gates of hell and found something staring back.The sight caused every heart in the street to plummet. Because if even the patriarch was reacting like this...Then what exactly were they fa

  • Chapter 1423 - 'I Feel Like I Might Stop Existing If I Breathe Too Loudly’

    *****Still in the street.Every single person who had been present from the very beginning remained there.Yet at this moment, it was as though their spirits, souls, and very life force had been ripped away from them, leaving behind nothing but hollow shells standing where human beings used to be.Even the entire group of corpse puppets had frozen in place.But unlike everyone else, there wasn't the slightest trace of emotion on their faces.If anything, they resembled machines whose power source had suddenly been cut off in the middle of operation.One puppet remained with its arm half-raised; another stood with its foot suspended mid-step, while a third was caught in the middle of a killing strike.Everyone else, however, was frozen for a completely different reason.Their blood seemed to have vanished, their faces were pale, and their lips trembled.Their eyes were stretched so wide that several people looked as though they might permanently lose the ability to blink.Earlier, whe

  • Chapter 1422 – A Reality-Shattering Moment

    *****At this moment, every single person on the street looked as though they had been forced to swallow a live cockroach whole.Their faces became so distorted that, under different circumstances, the scene might have actually been humorous.But now…‘B rank?’ The thought repeated endlessly within everyone’s heads, and the more it did, the more thunderstruck they became.After all, that was the highest level in the entire Riverton city. And even at that… less than a handful of people in the city had fully reached it.It was a realm that more than 90% of ranked fighters would never touch in their lifetime… the level of true powerhouses amongst powerhouses.In fact, currently, in the entire street, only the Revercrest Patriarch had reached that rank.Yet now... another one had appeared.No.He had been standing before them all along. They had just failed to recognize him.The realization made every heart pound violently in their chests, questions flooding their minds one after another.

  • Chapter 1421 – Unanticipated Situation

    *****An unexpected wave of energy exploded outward, the eruption coming completely out of nowhere.At first, it felt incredibly weak… so weak that even several injured mercenaries frowned.“So weak...” one of them began.But before he or anyone else could finish this thought… their expressions changed violently.‘This... this aura is intensifying.’ The thought echoed through countless minds simultaneously, spreading faster than wildfire.But by then, the aura had already moved beyond being merely weak.What had started as something so insignificant that people had nearly mocked it had now risen to the unmistakable level of a C-rank fighter.Instantly, every gaze snapped toward the direction of the corpse puppets, the battlefield seeming to freeze despite the murderous machines’ attacks still descending.‘He is… he is really a C-rank fighter?’ the mercenaries, soldiers, Borgia, the Third Brother, and even the right-hand man thought dazedly, the realization striking them harder than an
