*****

It's as if time and space had frozen in the arena right now, the very air itself thickened with shock and incredulity.

Everyone stood in a frozen stupor, their eyes gaping, and their minds spinning in chaotic disbelief.

Even a million times before now, if anyone had asked the thugs, or even Xavier’s parents, who would dominate the last exchange, the answer would have unanimously been Jazzy.

Is it strength? Jazzy’s hulking frame, packed with rippling muscles, dwarfed Xavier’s lean figure, who in contrast looked like he would be snapped in half with a flick of Jazzy’s wrist.

Aura? Jazzy’s earlier presence before he collided with Xavier had swallowed him whole, his oppressive energy having cast a menacing shadow over the arena.

Finally, menace? Looking at Xavier’s handsome and frail appearance, he wouldn’t even be capable of scaring a child, unlike Jazzy, whose mere presence could terrify even a full-fledged-ranked fighter.

Yet here they stood, staring at the impossible trut

    ***** Although Xavier could hear the group of thugs gloating around him, he paid them no attention, instead, his demeanor remained as calm and emotionless as it had been since he entered the arena, his gaze tightly locked on the incredibly furious Jazzy. That’s right. Jazzy was seething with so much fury right now, his eyes already clouded with darkness. Only if gaze alone could kill, Xavier would have already died a thousand times from his death glare alone. Jazzy had never experienced such humiliation as he had just done in his life before, not even when he was an unranked fighter. Since becoming an F-ranked warrior, respect and fear had followed him everywhere he went, even among other ranked fighters, as his strength had always been above those in the same rank as him. Now, however, just after breaking through to a higher rank—something that should have elevated him and made him receive the treatment and respect of a deity—he was made into a fool and joke of the century

    *****The silence in the arena stretched on, thick and oppressive for what felt like an eternity before eventually, a sudden cough echoed, breaking the stillness like a lone reminder of life.Immediately following this, an utterly broken and miserable-looking Jazzy crawled out of the rubble and dust of the walls, his once imposing figure now reduced to a shell of weakness and misery, his face pale as death.Although the silence in the arena had been shattered, the gangsters wouldn’t react, instead, they continued watching in stunned silence and disbelief, their hearts sinking to the deepest pits.Just moments ago, their leader had seemed unstoppable, like a god of war capable of shaking heaven and earth, but now, looking at him, he appeared so weak, pitiful, and broken.The gangsters subconsciously exchanged gazes after seeing this and their spirits shattered, their hearts also dropping to the lowest bottom possible.Although they had seen Jazzy lose miserably in the past exchan

    *****Jazzy’s brewing rage and madness vanished completely the moment he heard Xavier’s words and felt the deadly seriousness in them. Before he could process the words, however, he saw Xavier taking a single step forward.It was just a single step—harmless, unhurried, and casual—but in the next moment, Jazzy felt as though an immense, crushing force that could break through earth had been unleashed upon him, like an overpowered hydraulic press trapping his hand beneath it.For a brief second, his mind, body, and soul went utterly blank, lost in numbness. But then following this—indescribable, soul-searing pain—tore through him.“Rah!!!”The unbearably agonized scream of someone who felt as if their skin was sharply peeled off echoed through the hall, making everyone feel strong goosebumps run amok on their skin.Jazzy had never known this level of torment before in his life. No, he was certain he hadn’t experienced pain like this even in his past lives if such a thing existed.

    *****If a blind person were to stumble into the arena right now, they might be convinced it was completely lifeless, despite the presence of dozens.The silence was so thick, that it suffocated the air, as though even the tiniest sound feared to make an appearance despite how long had passed.Everyone stood frozen, staring lifelessly at the lifeless body of Jazzy lying on the ground with a look of terror, unwillingness, despair, and shock still present on his face.Moments ago, he was still a titan and a dominant force in the underground world who hadn’t taken Xavier seriously and was still planning to move to the higher ground, defeat his boss, and replace him. Now, however, he lay completely still, unremarkable—like an ant who had been crushed under the feet without being able to give even the slightest resistance.The disbelief in the air lingered, everyone’s minds continuing to struggle to process the reality before them—the reality of how Jazzy, an E-ranked fighter, among t

    *****“What—what did he just say?!” murmurs rippled through the crowd after a long moment of silence, then they exchanged bewildered glances, their disbelief palpable.“He—he really did just say that?” someone whispered in shock, their hearts pounding nervously in their chest, but realizing that the Lion King had really demanded what he just did and it wasn’t them hearing things, they all struggled to breathe, feeling terrified to the core.‘Has he gone crazy?!’ Several of the gangsters thought speechlessly.‘He already has the upper hand, why not ask for something more practical?’‘Why not just give him back his parents in exchange for him to leave us be? Why try to push him to the wall?’They felt like sobbing, knowing that Xavier would only be a fool if he were to take his life like the Lion King had demanded.‘Ah!!! What a deluded fool!’ Some of the thugs thought, feeling utterly weak and helpless. They wished to speak sense into the Lion King, but understanding how foolish

    *****The Lion King, still not realizing anything flew like a bullet after Xavier’s attack and then crashed to the ground with a loud and heavy thud—right next to Jazzy’s carcass.Xavier’s body immediately moved instinctively, ready to pounce and tear him apart for his disrespect toward his mother. But then his gaze fell on Laura, and instantly, something inside of him seemed to shift.Her expression which was still filled with dread, helplessness, apology, and exhaustion made him stop, unable to care about the Lion King again for the time being.“Mother…” he called out with a softened voice, the fiery madness that had consumed him moments ago shattering like fragile glass.He took a step toward Laura, and as he did, the frozen time around them resumed.Everyone in the arena shuddered violently the next second, gasping as if they had just surfaced from drowning.Some of them nearly fainted in the next second as they finally reacted to the first surge of aura that had erupted fr

    *****With all that had transpired, one might think an eternity had passed since Xavier had slipped out of the hospital, but that wasn’t the case. In reality, just a little over an hour had gone by which was little, considering the distance between the hospital and the underground fighting club.Presently, inside a dark-colored vehicle parked quietly some distance adjacent to the lively underground arena, the one-armed, heavily bandaged Frosh Junior and his elder brother were seated in the back, staring vacantly at the scene outside in complete stupor.The two brothers still couldn’t believe what they were witnessing, no matter how long had passed. In fact, they refused to accept it.They had reached the fighting arena before the authorities. But just as they were planning to gather together and barge in to demand Xavier, ready to destroy Jazzy's club in the process, law enforcement showed up, making them stop even though they weren't scared.…“But why would cops come into that

    *****For a moment, Frosh Junior did not know how to react, hearing his brother and hearing the melancholy in his voice, but then his eyes narrowed and he quickly locked his gaze on Frosh, his breathing turning labored.“So, now that we know that jerk, who did this to me has such a close connection with a member of a second-rank family, does that mean that my revenge is only a mere fantasy?” he suddenly asked, his eyes reddening with frustration and unwillingness, dumbfounding Frosh for a moment.“That was not what I meant,” he hurriedly clarified, seeing his brother verging on panic. Before he could continue, however, intending to assure him, a soft knock tapped against the car’s windshield, startling the brothers.Frosh quickly rolled down the window beside him, recognizing the person— his newly promoted assistant from the previous day who presently appeared shocked and scared as though he just saw something scary.“What did you find?” he quickly asked, eager to know the truth

    *****‘Owner of that card?’‘Sir?!’The security guards stood dumbfounded, their mouths slack, their jaws seemingly on the brink of unhinging.Shock struck them like a thunderclap.“What the hell is going on?” one of them finally muttered under his breath, echoing the question blazing through each of their stunned minds.Their gazes flicked toward the crowd that had steadily swelled behind the previously proud and composed bank manager—now looking more like a startled, out-of-place clerk.Meanwhile, the crowd…A sea of eyes currently bore down on Xavier, every single person staring at him with obsessive curiosity, as if hoping to peel away the layers of his being and discover the truth beneath.And finally… Xavier?He currently stood still.Unshaken. Serene. Detached.He radiated an eerie calm, like the eye of a deadly storm.Not an ounce of panic, not a flicker of uncertainty. Just composed stillness, as if he’d anticipated this exact sequence of events.Without rushing

    *****“Is it somehow my responsibility that you’re impoverished, insignificant, and utterly beneath notice?” the Chief Security Officer sneered, spitting his words with contempt so thick it practically clung to the air.His voice dripped with derision, and the scorn in his gaze was nothing short of poisonous.“Is it my fault,” he continued with a mocking tilt of his head, “that you chose to provoke—not just an ordinary individual—but the heir of an illustrious third-rank family? A man who, with a flick of his finger or a single spoken command, could erase every person you’ve ever known or cared for from existence?”Xavier, “…”He looked at the CSO as if watching a performing clown—blank, unimpressed, and disinterested.For a second, he said nothing, simply letting the silence thicken like fog.And then—“So what you’re telling me,” he said slowly, a trace of amusement curling in his tone, “is that the buffoon—who struts around flaunting his bloodline and abusing his identity—i

    *****About five minutes or so ago.Xavier did not leave immediately after stepping out of the bank. Instead, he stood quietly just outside the glass doors, his back straight, his expression as calm as still water.He wasn’t a petty person who actively sought conflict, but if provoked, he would not retreat. No—he couldn’t.Not with how he had been treated today.He had to make Brenda pay and make her partners in crime realize that not everyone should be looked down upon.Because he knew—deep in his bones that if he let this go, the memory would fester like a splinter lodged beneath his skin, tormenting him each time he remembered the utter contempt, the humiliation, the outright rejection that had been thrown at him without mercy today.Even when he had just been sentenced to prison—stripped of all dignity—he had never been treated with such disgust.He clenched his fists, a storm of fury and ice churning within his chest.He stood there, silently waiting. Waiting for the ine

    *****“I… I think I might know who the card belongs to.”A voice broke the silence, soft and uncertain, but it was enough to slice through the tension like a blade.All heads turned instantly toward the source.It was the customer who had been standing at the front of the queue behind Xavier earlier—the customer directly in front of Brenda’s counter.Now, under the scrutiny of dozens of eyes, the man’s face turned pale as snow. Sweat trickled from his temples.If the ground could have opened up and swallowed him whole, he would have welcomed it.He hadn’t even meant to speak. The words had slipped out unintentionally, as though his subconscious had betrayed him.“You… you know the owner of this?” Gregory asked, carefully raising the obsidian-colored card again, his eyes wide with a strange mix of hope and dread.The customer opened his mouth, hesitating. His lips trembled.“I…” he began, swallowing hard.He genuinely considered denying it. Pretending he had made a mistake.

  • Chapter 417 – I Think I Might Know Who The Card Belongs To

    *****“Where is the owner of this card?”The voice wasn’t loud, but it immediately struck the crowd like a thunderclap.It was chilling. Piercing. Unmistakably authoritative.Everyone stopped talking instantly, and then their heads turned in unison toward the speaker.The moment they identified the source—Gregory—they felt another wave of fear rise up their spines.‘So, he had released the cold… with nothing but his aura.’Even more terrifying? The question he asked was directed at someone specific.Brenda.The card had fallen in front of her counter.And now, Gregory’s frostbitten gaze was locked directly on her.She froze, her breath hitched, and her knees nearly buckled.She didn’t even dare blink.Brenda’s heart began to thunder wildly in her chest, each beat crashing like a drum against her ribcage.A suffocating pressure bore down on her, accompanied by a chilling aura, unlike anything she had ever experienced in her entire life.One second…Two seconds…Three s

    Chapter 416 – Where Is The Owner of This Card? ***** ‘What is that thing?’ Numerous individuals pondered internally, their eyes fixated on the glossy black card lying motionless on the floor. Its surface shimmered faintly under the fluorescent lighting. It was clearly made of a rare material, unlike anything they had known. It bore a resemblance to a bank card, perhaps an advanced type of ATM card, but instinctively, everyone knew this wasn’t any ordinary financial instrument. The entire hall remained silent, as though collectively holding its breath. Each person watched Gregory’s reaction with heightened anticipation, wondering just what made this card so distinct to give him such a reaction. The tension lingered for what seemed like an unending stretch of time until finally... “Uncle… is that something important?” Julius finally asked, his curiosity pushed past its limit. His voice instantly shattered the stillness that had settled in within the bank like a

  • Chapter 415 – Whose Card Is That?!

    *****Gregory’s eyes immediately locked onto the bewildered young man standing before him. “Could it be… are you affiliated with the Cromwell family here in Riverton?”‘What...?’A heavy hush blanketed the entire lobby like a woolen shroud.Every individual present—staff and customer alike—fixated on Gregory, their expressions frozen in astonishment.Even Julius found himself momentarily speechless.“You… you actually recognize my family?” he asked, visibly taken aback.Under ordinary circumstances, such a question might seem excessive. But in a metropolis like Riverton—where third-tier families numbered in the hundreds—it was understandable.Moreover, the heads of major branches like this one of Titan Financial Institution, especially the headquarters Branch, were often individuals hailing from second—or third-tier families themselves.Gregory didn’t immediately reply. Instead, his sharp gaze scanned Julius from head to toe. Then, just as abruptly, a faint yet familiar smile

  • Chapter 414 – Twisting The Event

    *****The interior of the bank was deathly silent at this moment.Not a whisper, not a shuffle—only stunned expressions and the echoing tension in the air.Every gaze was fixed squarely on Gregory Langston, the prestigious branch manager of Titan Financial Institution, Riverton Main Branch.‘Offend a VVIP customer?’Whether they were employees in uniform or customers in line, furrowed brows rippled throughout the room like synchronized waves.“Why would we possibly offend a VVIP customer of all customers?”“Moreover, apart from VIP customers, we haven’t even received any customer worth being a VVIP in years, have we?”Confusion spread like wildfire amongst the various employees.Dozens of silent voices echoed within the minds of the bank employees, each one scrambling through recent memories, desperately attempting to recall if they'd slighted any important figures.But—nothing. No recollection. No one of significance had been turned away, mistreated, or even mildly inconven

    *****“H-He’s doomed,” a nearby customer muttered quietly, his voice barely more than a whisper, but his words echoed what everyone else was thinking.The others nodded their heads in agreement.Several people couldn’t help but pity Xavier.“I even suggested he back down... but he had to act so recklessly, despite clearly having nothing to rely on!”“Aish. I get that he wanted to stand his ground, but doesn’t he understand how life works? Some people... some people like them, you simply don’t go against them. Or you’ll end up regretting it for life.”“What a shame...”They sighed collectively, shaking their heads as they imagined the fate that awaited Xavier once the guards caught up with him and handed him over to Julius.Their thoughts naturally turned to Julius again, and they glanced in his direction—only to freeze.The fury and coldness that had distorted his face earlier could no longer be seen.Now, Julius wore the same expression he had when he first walked into the
