Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 086 – You Shouldn’t Have Touched My Parents
*****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
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 087 – Jazzy’s Ending
*****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.
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 088 – Weakness
*****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
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 089 – Xavier’s Rage
*****“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
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 090 – The Lion King’s Defeat
*****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
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 091 – Frosh and His Brother’s Speculation
*****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
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 092 - The Siblings’ Fear
*****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
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 093 - Frosh’s Promise
***** Frosh was dumbstruck for some time after hearing his brother and feeling the pain and desperation heavily laced in his voice, then he shook his head and released a soft sigh. “Why do you say that?” he asked, staring at him in confusion. He instantly saw the anguish on his brother’s face and understood his fear. The following second, Frosh couldn’t help but laugh, even amid the unsettling situation. “You—you think that weakling, whom even I, an F-ranked fighter could easily crush with a snap of my fingers, was the one who killed Jazzy?” he laughed so hard that tears sprang to his eyes. “How is that even possible? Do you know what it takes to become a ranked fighter, let alone an E-rank, which requires a miracle and divine intervention? Then the level above?” “But…” Frosh Junior began, only to be interrupted. “If truly Jazzy has reached the E-rank and was still

*****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
Chapter 437 – An Unexpected Topic
*****By the time Xavier finished preparing his meal, the living room was once again filled with warmth and laughter.Sarah had just completed Little Lola’s braid, and the results were stunning.The little girl stood in front of the mirror, admiring herself with such unfiltered joy that it made even Xavier pause.She looked like a radiant soul—pure, innocent… like a tiny princess in a fairy tale.“Beautiful…” she whispered over and over, looking utterly entranced by her reflection.Her eyes sparkled brightly in their sockets with genuine awe as if she couldn’t believe the image staring back was truly her.“Little Lola has never been this beautiful in her whole life,” she said, her voice as serious as a judge delivering a verdict.The adults exchanged amused glances.The words sounded like self-praise, something that would normally come off as vain, but the way she said it—so sincerely and so innocently, it simply melted hearts instead.Sarah chuckled softly, brushing a few s
Chapter 436 – A Moment Of Peace
*****It was already well past noon when Xavier finally stepped out of the bank.The sun was high, the day bustling, but he felt oddly calm like a storm had passed and he’d emerged standing.Without wasting any more time, he hailed a taxi and headed straight back to Oceanview Estate.Villa Number One welcomed him with open arms and warmth that immediately softened the weariness on his face.Inside, a quiet domestic scene played out that made Xavier’s heart lift.His mother, Sarah, was gently braiding Little Lola’s hair, her hands moving with patient care.The little girl, on the other hand, sat excitedly, her legs swinging off the chair, occasionally giggling at something being said.Xavier’s father, David, sat nearby, animatedly telling stories that made both Sarah and Lola smile.For a brief moment, Xavier stood still, soaking it in.The warmth. The peace. The kind of scene he’d always dreamed of growing up.He almost didn’t want to move or speak, not wanting to shatter t
Chapter 435 – A Bitter Awakening
*****Brenda stood still at this moment, her eyes glassy with unshed tears as regret stormed her thoughts.Her mind drifted backward, replaying every decision, every turning point, every slip into arrogance.‘I couldn’t find any proper job for years after graduation,’ she thought, biting down on her trembling lip. ‘I was close to becoming homeless… starving. I couldn’t even afford a loaf of bread, let alone rent or dignity.’Her fists clenched at her sides, her nails digging into her palms as her soul twisted in guilt.‘And when I finally got this job—this opportunity—through a lucky break, I vowed to cherish it. I swore I’d be loyal, that I’d treat it like my life depended on it. That I would never, ever be fired.’She blinked, and the tears finally began to sting her eyes.‘But what did I become after just a few months…?’The reflection tore through her like glass.She looked utterly broken, her once-proud aura now reduced to a shell of defeat. Her confident stride had vani
Chapter 434 – No Redemption Left
*****It had been more than three minutes since Xavier and the manager exited the bank, yet silence still gripped the bank like a vice.No one spoke.No one moved.The echoes of what had just transpired continued repeating endlessly in every mind, like a haunting dream on a loop.The employees stood frozen in place, pale-faced and drenched in cold sweat, while customers remained rooted, too stunned to process anything.And then, there was Brenda—her expression hollow, as the soul had already abandoned her body. Her eyes were vacant, her breathing shallow.She stood there, unmoving, like a statue carved from guilt and shame.Finally… the guards.All of them were still on their knees, unmoving.They had known that Xavier’s wrath was coming and had tried to prepare.They had knelt before him long before he reached them, as they had originally reached them.They'd begged, wailed, and thrown every ounce of self-respect out the window.They blamed the devil.Literally.“It wa
Chapter 433 – One Card, Half A Trillion
*****All blood was pumping fiercely at this moment.Even the customers in the crowd could feel it, as if they too were tangled in the madness unraveling before them.‘He was treated like trash… and in retaliation, he decided to withdraw his savings, knowing that’s enough punishment for the bad treatment he was given?’'No… not just punishment. Something enough to bankrupt an entire national banking system!’People blinked, looking stunned. Their indignation, their pride, their frustration—they’d all come to the bank for similar reasons.Many had planned to withdraw everything from their accounts as a form of protest. They, too, had grievances after all.They were constantly mistreated by the bankers and constantly ignored and overlooked as well, even always getting abused.But now?Now, their actions felt nothing more than children’s tantrums compared to what they’d just witnessed.Even the customer with the largest savings among the ordinary customers began to shrink inwar
Chapter 432 – What Is A Flex If Not This
*****From a young age, Julius had been taught a foundational truth of high finance:Every account has a ceiling—no matter who you are and how limitless your account and card are.Whether you were a high-ranking official or belonged to a first-tier powerhouse, the rule remained unbreakable.Even the legendary families at the apex of global wealth—those whose shadows loomed over economies. It was said they were bound by this limitation.Yes, you could control assets worth billions… trillions, even.Yes, your investments could span industries, continents, and entire empires.But when it came to liquid funds—hard cash—there was always a cap. A regulatory boundary.Julius had questioned this growing up.He had wondered why someone couldn’t just liquidate everything they had. Why couldn’t they simply convert all their assets into cold, spendable cash?The answer had always been delivered in helpless and respectful tones by economic tutors and advisors alike:Inflation. Stability
Chapter 431 – The Account Balance That Causes Commotion
*****They say maintaining absolute silence in a room with fewer than fifty people is easy. Manageable, even.Once the number crosses a hundred, though? That’s where it becomes nearly impossible.Human beings would breathe. They would shift. They would cough, murmur, sneeze, and move without realizing it. Now, multiply that by a hundred, and absolute silence becomes little more than a fantasy.But that law didn’t seem to apply here. Not today. Not in this bank.More than three hundred people were packed shoulder to shoulder within the confines of the main banking hall—customers, employees, security personnel, and even a few passersby who had walked in just moments earlier.And yet…Not a sound.Not a whisper.Not a rustle.Not even the rustle of fabric or the sigh of shifting weight.This wasn’t just silence. This was a… void.It was the kind of unnatural, oppressive stillness that made the very air feel thick and heavy—as though it might shatter if anyone dared to move.
Chapter 430 – The Titanium Account Balance
*****Right now, Julius simply stood there, looking utterly frozen.He stared blankly at Xavier, his anger completely evaporated.His arrogance had withered, and now, only confusion and disbelief remained.‘Is… is he sane?’ he wondered.Who rejects VIP treatment?His brain simply couldn’t process what was happening.….Meanwhile, Gregory stared hard at Xavier, a storm of emotions passing through his gaze.What he had just heard had completely humbled him.There was no arrogance in Xavier’s tone. No flaunting of power. No smug satisfaction. And no ridicule.It was only a quiet principleA principle Gregory had long buried beneath rules and obligations.To be honest, he, too, hated the practice.That’s rightHe hated prioritizing people based on wealth or background, likewise believing that no human being should be treated better than the other, especially when the said human beings were even in their rights.But a rule was a rule no matter what—and unless he was tired o
