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.

Frosh initially started as a low-level street thug, climbing to power after his brother was brutally assaulted for harassing the younger sister of a crime lord several times more powerful than him at that time. That night, Frosh secretly infiltrated the don’s home, eliminated him, and took over his territory, turning him into who he is today.

The crowd, recalling this history, couldn't help but suddenly shudder, wondering what the madman—who had risked his life to kill someone far more powerful than himself simply because they had punished his broth

    ***** "This…" Xavier, his mother, and the neighborhood residents were suddenly left in shock after hearing Frosh’s frosty words. Their jaws dropped afterward and they struggled to react for what felt like an eternity before eventually, their eyes widened significantly. ‘He—he would commit a mass murder because…’ Xavier thought with disbelief while the neighbors, who had tried looking for Frosh’s good grace earlier, became horrified. “M—master Frosh! Plea—please don’t kill me! I only came here to sightsee!” “Master Frosh, please mercy!” They began to wail desperately, knocking their heads against the floor while sobbing pitifully, but Frosh‘s murderous expression did not waiver a bit, instead, he stepped heartlessly and vicious forward while his men followed with menacing expressions on their faces. “I’ve always known my gossipy nature will be my end!!” “I shouldn't have left my grandchild’s breakfast to gossip!” The entire residents broke down, greatly regretting the

    ***** “This—what’s going on?” The residents, momentarily stunned, exchanged bewildered glances before mumbling in unison, “How could those slum rats possibly be connected to someone whom even the legendary Master Frosh treats with respect, despite not being recognized?” ——- As earlier mentioned, Laura and her husband had spent most of their lives on this street, only relocating and returning within a matter of three years, so they knew nearly everyone in the neighborhood. Initially, the couple had been on friendly terms with almost everyone, but after their return, they were suddenly ostracized, loathed, and treated with contempt by everyone who constantly mocked them for falling from grace and raising a murderer. Even those who had tried to maintain a relationship with them at the start, believing they still had some of their child’s wealth, dropped all pretense upon seeing how miserable they had become, and as a result, the whole neighborhood—regardless of age or financial

    *****For a moment after the black Audio was gone, nobody could react and the entire area fell into an eerie silence, staring in disbelief and trying to wrap their brain around what had just happened while Frosh felt a sudden chill creeping through his veins. No matter what he did, he wasn't able to return to his senses, leaving his men helpless and confused after they returned to their senses until they exchanged glances, and then one of them carefully approached him. “B—boss, are we still following the original plan?” the person asked, breaking the deafening silence that had filled the area. The next second, the neighbors remembered their situation and broke out in a sweat, terrified to the core.They fearfully looked at Frosh and at the same time, Frosh’s eyes regained a bit of focus, but in the next second, his face turned charcoal black with rage, and his eyes became aggressive. “Silence!” He barked and sent out his palm, striking the terrified gang member on the chest

    ***** ‘Why does it feel like she’s always glaring at me?’ Xavier suddenly wondered as he glanced at the lady addressed as Dorothy behind the steering wheel, only to see her entirely focused. ‘Could I have been wrong?’ He wondered after noticing that the lady wasn’t even looking at him at all. Just as he was about to ignore the thought and mind his business, however, thinking he was only being paranoid, he caught sight of a pair of eyes sending a cold and scornful glare in his direction from the rear mirror. ‘I wasn’t imagining things,’ he thought helplessly, his frown deepening as he wondered if he had ever met or known the lady before. After pondering for a moment but failing to recall any memory of her, Xavier decided to dismiss the thought and turned his attention back to his mother lying on his lap, whose neck he was holding to prevent further blood loss. His heart sank again upon seeing her like this. Xavier clenched his teeth and his eyes flashed murderously. ‘I

    *****“Grace Sky… Sky Group,” Xavier mumbled as he stared at the black and golden card in his hand, then turned it over and stared at the mobile number written there after which he stowed the card away, intending to call Grace after his mother recovered. This was what Xavier was thinking after Grace and her secretary, who seemed to hate him for no reason har disappeared when the door to his mother’s ward opened.Xavier hurriedly raised his head and upon seeing that it was the doctor who had entered not long ago exiting while removing the gloves from his hands, he forgot the thought in his mind and instantly stepped forward with concern. “How is my mother now?” he asked hurriedly, jolting the doctor, who was looking around as though searching for something, back to his senses. “Oh, I’ve stitched the cut on her neck, and she’s already receiving blood to replace what she lost.” “That—that’s great,” Xavier muttered and his rigid muscles unconsciously relaxed, feeling the immense

    ****** Inside the VIP hospital room that was equipped with all the basic amenities of a bedroom, Frosh, unaware of what his men were currently thinking or discussing, stood awkwardly still, appearing scared to advance. He no longer had the menacing aura of a don who had terrorized many; instead, he looked so frail, pale, and helpless at this moment, staring at the dull eyes of his blood-drained, pale brother lying pitifully and lifelessly on the bed. His legs felt too heavy at this moment to move, seeing the heavily bandaged stump where Frosh Junior’s arm used to be. This continued for what felt like an eternity before Frosh eventually clenched his fists and pushed himself to take a step forward. Upon doing so, he forced open his dry and heavy, calling out hoarsely, "Br—brother." Although his voice wasn’t loud, instead just barely above audible, Frosh Junior, whose spirit seemed to have long departed his body and who hadn’t heard even when Frosh entered, was jolted aw

    ***** ‘He still dared to be excited?’ Frosh Junior, on the bed, stared at his elder brother in disbelief and felt he was dreaming. He wanted to wipe his eyes and make sure he was seeing right, but then nothing would move, only making him realize that he had tried moving an empty air, as he was nothing more than a one-armed person now. In the next second, Frosh Junior’s eyes became filled with hatred as he growled. “Why are you laughing?!” Frosh was badly startled by this and he slowly stopped, focusing his gaze on his brother, confused about his sudden source of rage. “I—” “Are you that happy that I’m now in this condition and will no longer create trouble for you?” Frosh Junior inquired aggressively, making his elder brother freeze completely. Frosh couldn’t act nor react for a moment, instead, he stared blankly at his younger brother, refusing to believe he would think the way he just did. “You—you thought I was happy with your condition?“ He asked blankly, but then

    ***** “This—this…” Frosh’s junior eyes slowly brightened with a strong fervor after hearing his brother’s plan and his breathing quickened. The reason for his previous bitchy attitude toward his brother was that he thought he would never get his revenge when even his elder brother whom he always rely on couldn’t revenge on him, but hearing the flawless plan, his rage disappeared completely and he became excited. "But—but please promise me that you'll step in if the b!tch doesn’t get involved and help me capture the family of three. I want to take revenge with my own hands… hand!" He looked with desperation in his eyes and pleaded with hope, staring at Frosh, who hesitated for a moment before finally nodding. “What are we waiting for then? Let’s execute the mission already!” He urged and his brother hurriedly nodded his head before making a call.“I refuse to believe that you, a common prisoner would have any sort of relationship with such an important person, it must have be

    *****David's gaze dropped to his hands—wrinkled, toughened by labor, marked by time. His eyes shimmered with unshed tears, glistening beneath the store’s ambient lighting.Finally, in a soft, hoarse voice, he spoke:“…Alright, son.”He cleared his throat, then stood a little straighter.“I’ll pick something for myself. Something decent.”Xavier didn’t say a word, but the small upward curve of his lips spoke volumes. It was a smile of pride, quiet victory, and deep affection.David turned to Amelia. “Could you show me where the men’s section is? Something for… older men?”Xavier immediately let out a long-suffering groan and rolled his eyes.“Father, come on. You’re not that old, you know? Just find something that would suit the younger you. You might even surprise yourself.”David snorted and gave his son a playful glare, but didn’t argue. Deep down, he felt just a little lighter, a little freer.Amelia, smiling now with renewed warmth, nodded eagerly and guided David towa

    *****“Father, why don’t you have a look around? Pick something you like—anything at all.”David furrowed his brows immediately and gave his son a long, sideways glance. “Do I strike you as the kind of man who goes window shopping?” he grumbled. “Besides, I’m not exactly young anymore. I’ve got enough clothes to last me until the end of my days. You focus on yourself, your mother, and the little one. I don’t need anything new.”His tone was firm… blunt even, leaving no room for argument.Xavier studied his father silently for a few seconds upon hearing him. He had expected that reaction, yet it still left him a little speechless.Ultimately, he sighed with mild exasperation. “Dad…”He paused, a gentle frown creasing his brow.“Back when I was little until I went away, even when you were working day and night just to make ends meet, you never once splurged on yourself. Every dime you earned, you poured into the family. I still remember you always arguing with Mother about how ‘a

    *****Xavier didn’t reply to the sales assistant immediately.Instead, he turned gradually, his eyes softening as they settled on Little Lola. At this very instant, the young girl’s expression was alight with wonder.Her sparkling eyes, wide with amazement, were fixed intently in a specific direction. The longing shimmering within them was unmistakable.It was a gaze so pure, so filled with innocent yearning, that anyone watching could instantly recognize it—she had discovered something that had utterly captivated her heart.Without a second thought, Xavier followed the trail of her gaze.His eyes landed squarely upon a delicately displayed princess-style gown hanging under a spotlight.The dress was exquisite, crafted with a meticulous blend of pastel colors, and adorned with intricate embroidery that resembled blooming spring flowers. The lace hem rippled like waves frozen in time, and floral patterns danced along the fabric, giving the gown an ethereal, fairytale-like charm.

    *****At that exact moment, inside the pristine and silent interior of the High Fashion boutique, the sales associate… Amelia stood frozen in mild disbelief, her gaze currently locked on the four individuals who had just stepped through the glass doors.For a heartbeat, she genuinely believed her senses were deceiving her.The familiar chime of the doorbell had rung just a second ago, an event so rare it might as well have been mythical.In the entire stretch of weeks—perhaps months—she’d manned this boutique, the only times the entrance had opened were when she arrived for her shift, or during scheduled inspections from upper management.When the chime sounded just now, her heart had jolted in her chest, and her head had instinctively lifted, her eyes widening in hopeful anticipation. The stagnant air of the boutique had carried a different energy this time—one that made her pulse race ever so slightly.She had been employed here for close to half a year now, and in all that ti

One of the sales reps stood frozen, her expression twisted in shock and disbelief.Her colleagues instantly turned toward her with a frown, clearly annoyed. “What’s the matter with you?” One of them inquired.“This…” The sales rep pointed toward the glass windows, her finger trembling slightly.“Aren’t those the poor paupers from a moment ago? Don’t tell me they’re actually trying to enter that boutique.”The moment her voice echoed through the store, all heads swiveled sharply toward the boutique’s glass doors. Like magnets, every gaze snapped toward the opposite side of the corridor—toward Xavier and his family.They were currently walking into the High Fashion boutique.Gasps erupted one after the other in the next second.“They’re trying to enter High Fashion? What do they think they’re doing in ther

    *****Sarah wasn’t just suggesting they leave. She was pleading. Her voice carried quiet desperation, a maternal instinct to protect her son from further escalation—even at the cost of her pride.It was the kind of voice that forced Xavier to pause. That kind of plea couldn’t be ignored.His chest rose and fell with labored breaths. Every fiber of his being screamed to retaliate, to put every single person in their place. But he swallowed it—barely.Instead, he took a deep breath, locking away the storm inside.His gaze turned frigid as he scanned every face in the room—memorizing them, engraving their expressions into his memory. He would not forget this. Not a single face would escape the reckoning.He turned around.“Let’s go,” he said quietly.And they moved.But the crowd wasn’t finished. Their parting words were even more venomous than before.“Idiots. Delusional morons who don’t know their place.”“Coming here to steal glances, probably to steal garments too.”“They

    *****“Did someone call for cleaners?” she asked, her tone dry.The attendant’s colleagues looked equally puzzled. “Cleaners? I didn’t call anyone.”“Did any of you request maintenance or janitorial support?” she asked aloud to the others.A series of headshakes followed.Realizing this, the woman turned toward Xavier’s group, an irritated look of disgust forming on her face.“You heard them, didn’t you?” she said, her tone dipped in sarcasm. “No one called for help. I don’t know which shop summoned you, but clearly, you’ve lost your way.”Her words cut through the air, sharp and dismissive.The moment Xavier heard her, his expression darkened.He didn’t say anything right away, but the glint in his eyes dimmed, replaced by a quiet storm.Sarah and David, on the other hand, immediately felt the heat of embarrassment crawl up their skin. Sarah looked as if she wanted to disappear while David clenched his fists silently.Meanwhile, the innocent Little Lola looked confused, he

    *****At present, inside an extravagant compound brimming with a vast array of elite vehicles—sleek sports cars, luxurious sedans, and custom-built SUVs, four modestly dressed individuals stood somewhat out of place, quietly observing their opulent surroundings.The entire space was bustling with stylishly adorned people, many exuding an aura of refined affluence, their outfits screaming wealth and taste.Amid this upscale paradise stood four very out-of-place figures.One, a young man with striking composure and a calm aura, looked unbothered as if the dazzling show of wealth and grandeur around him had no power to stir his heart.He stood with an air of composed indifference, his posture relaxed yet confident.Beside this handsome, refined young man in faded, casual attire, stood an older couple, who looked visibly unsettled.Despite their plain, worn clothing, it wasn’t their faded attire or lean physiques that made them stand out. It was the sheer discomfort etched into the

    *****Although he had already assured his father and he had already accepted, Xavier, however, could sense something lingering beneath his composed exterior.A subtle crease formed between his brows, and his gaze remained distant—thoughtful, perhaps even troubled.“Are you still worried about her background?” Xavier asked, his voice quiet but direct.The question seemed to jolt David from his reverie. He looked at his son for a long second, then let out a slow, burdened sigh.“It’s not that I dislike the little girl’s presence in our life… it’s the other way, in fact,” he began. “But given her history… how fragile her heart is, the trauma she’s been through—your mother didn’t hesitate to claim her as our granddaughter.” He paused, his eyes narrowing slightly.“But what if her other family members come looking for her? What if they think we’ve kidnapped her and filed a police report? Would we be able to get out of it?”That hit Xavier like a splash of cold water.He blinked, mo
