Chapter 1377 – ‘Sir Patriarch is so Ridiculously Bipolar!’
*****‘Anyones?’ Xavier’s expression seemed to say.But at that moment, Mistress Ayra was too terrified to notice the grammatical blunder she had just made. She only saw his unasked question.“Yes… yes, Sir Patriarch,” she responded hurriedly, nodding so fast she resembled an anxious lizard trying to win an argument with destiny itself.“Those three are my direct subordinates. They’ve sworn absolute loyalty to me and to the guild using soul oaths.”Her voice became faster the more she spoke.“I trust them completely. Even under torture, they would never reveal anything regarding you or the guild. They would rather destroy themselves first.”The chamber fell silent afterward, with Xavier staring at her without a word.And that silence alone… It nearly killed Mistress Ayra faster than any attack could have.Her heartbeat pounded harder and harder until she genuinely felt it might explode out of her chest.Cold sweat slid down her back, different thoughts echoing rapidly in her chest unt
Chapter 1376 – Mistress Ayra’s Fright
*****Once the three figures and Hunter were gone, both Xavier and Mistress Ayra remained unmoving.They stared at the empty space for a brief moment, their expressions completely unreadable.Then, ultimately, after a few seconds, Mistress Ayra let out a soft sigh.“He looks like someone who has been through a lot,” she said quietly, her tone unusually subdued.There was a faint heaviness in her voice now, like she had briefly stepped out of her usual composed mask.She turned toward Xavier, as if preparing to continue. But then Xavier spoke first.“I thought I warned you the last time I was here,” he said, his voice calm but carrying a sharp edge underneath it.His gaze shifted slightly toward her.“Not to let anyone find out about me… or that there’s a new patriarch for now.”And at that exact instant, every trace of the lazy, half-asleep indifference Xavier always carried vanished so abruptly it was almost terrifying to witness.One moment, he had been sprawled across the throne li
Chapter 1375 – Hunter’s Vow
*****Hunter could only stare at the three hooded figures blankly, his mind struggling to catch up.Even though their faces were hidden beneath their cloaks, he could feel it… the absolute lack of concern and absence of tension.To them, it wasn’t a dangerous mission or a political disaster waiting to happen. It wasn’t even a challenge.It was… routine.Something so simple it didn’t even require emotional investment.Hunter’s mouth slowly opened slightly at this, but no words came out.For an entire week, the Scoan had turned his life into a waking nightmare.Every corner he turned, every breath he took, and every moment he thought he could finally relax, that invisible weight and fear were always there.There had been times he genuinely wondered if revenge was even possible without dragging himself straight into a grave beside his enemies.And yet…Hunter suddenly let out a quiet, bitter chuckle filled with irony, like someone laughing at his own foolishness after finally waking from
Chapter 1374 – ‘Just… Just Like That?’
*****Five pairs of eyes shifted toward Hunter in perfect unison, and in that instant…‘This…!’His heart lurched violently in his chest, and cold sweat broke out across his back so fast it felt as though someone had just poured ice water down his spine.Fortunately, the attention lasted only a second before drifting away again.But that single second was enough.Enough for him to feel like a stray insect suddenly pinned beneath the collective gaze of beings far beyond his comprehension… creatures who could end him without even bothering to move a finger.At this realization, his breathing turned shallow and his thoughts scattered.It was terrifying in a way that didn’t even feel real.Like standing at the edge of a cliff and realizing the cliff was looking back at you.“Taken care of them yet?” Mistress Ayra asked calmly, her tone light and indifferent, as though she were inquiring whether someone had finished sweeping the floor or wiping a table.The casualness of it nearly made Hun
Chapter 1373 – ‘Who Are these People?!’
*****“This…” Hunter’s eyes widened so much it genuinely looked like they might fall out.The three figures stood there silent, motionless, and eerie, as though they were specters dragged straight out of nightmares.Their faces were hidden, their bodies concealed, and even their presence felt unnatural.Watching this, adrenaline surged violently through his Hunter.‘Who… who are these people?!’‘When did they even arrive?!’But just then, Hunter sensed their aura, and instantly, his soul nearly left his body entirely.Each of the three… was E-rank.And realizing this, Hunter swallowed hard, cold sweat instantly drenching his back.Three E-rank fighters appearing out of nowhere like ghosts...At this point, he genuinely started suspecting the Nightshadow Guild might not actually be human.But before he could even finish panicking internally…“Mistress Ayra.”The three cloaked figures suddenly bowed in perfect unison, their movements so perfectly synchronized it looked utterly unnatural
Chapter 1372 – Hunter’s Fright
*****If only Hunter himself were in his right senses at this moment, he would have found it unbelievable.Tears? Him?Over the past week, he had suffered humiliation beyond words, betrayal, starvation, exhaustion, and despair.He had wandered through dark alleys like a fugitive rat, barely sleeping, constantly afraid someone would discover him.Yet not once had he cried.He had been furious, broken, and hopeless, but never tearful.And yet now…After hearing Xavier’s casual words, his vision blurred violently, his chest tightening painfully.“Sir Patriarch…” he muttered again, his voice trembling slightly, causing both Xavier and Mistress Ayra to pause in surprise.The two exchanged glances, and then Ayra’s eyes flickered faintly.After all, Hunter did not look like the crying type.The man looked more like the kind who would punch through walls and curse at heaven before shedding tears.And yet there he was, standing stiffly like a grown man desperately trying not to embarrass himse

Very good plot and story and the pacing is also quite good except for elongated methapor words and praises that seems no relevance on the scene or plot being played, making the novel quite dull...
