Lucius had never taken Xavier to his mind and he had long sentenced him to death, merely waiting for news from his bodyguard whom he had dispatched to assassin him now.

Never in his wildest dreams—or rather, nightmares—had he expected the next news he would hear about Xavier to be that he had slain a godlike figure such as an E-rank fighter, a level that none in his own family, despite its strength and position, had yet to attain.

“You know him?” Borgia asked urgently, noticing Lucius’s dumbstruck expression and outburst. But Lucius was too frozen in shock and disbelief right now to react.

He remained transfixed, staring dazedly at the phone displaying Xavier's image, where he was smiling at his parents outside the underground fighting club.

Lucius’s mind was in complete turmoil, overwhelmed with fear as he remembered how he had treated Xavier earlier and even sent someone to assassinate him.

He stayed like this for a moment before suddenly, something seemed to

  • Chapter 957 – The Believable Speculation

    *****All heads instantly snapped in the woman’s direction, only to see her staring ahead with a seriousness that could stop a riot.Her eyes radiated a deep, escalating anxiety.“What did you realize?” the PM’s right-hand man asked.Hearing him, the woman’s breath snagged, a subtle tremor running through her expression.“I… I think this matter isn’t ordinary,” she said, her voice firm and filled with an eerie certainty.Everyone, “_”The silence practically asked, “What do you mean…?”But she continued before they could speak out their question.“Think about it,” she said, her anxiousness intensifying until she seemed a breath away from pacing. “Ever since knowing the PM, has any of you seen him behave the way he behaved today?”The answer shot through the room instantly.Never! Not Once! And not even a rumor.Their collective realization settled in like a heavy fog, deepening their frowns.“Yes… never!” the woman pressed, as though she needed the word carved into their

  • Chapter 956 – Terror in the PM’s Office II

    *****The so-called Erudite Grandmaster turned out to be a young man who looked like he still needed parental permission to stay out past 8 p.m., a brat whose face still had traces of youthful softness.He was someone who probably only just finished growing all his pubic hair… assuming he had even started.The realization hit them so hard that, if not for the looming doom hanging over their heads, they would still be frozen in that exact spot, contemplating whether they had really just witnessed the past hour or it was all but a nonsensical dream.But…“What… what do we do now?” someone finally stammered, his voice cracking so badly that it sounded like a teenager hitting puberty for the second time.And that single line… it directly shattered the silence in the room like a glass floor finally giving way, making everyone jolt as though struck by electricity.“I…” another subordinate tried, but her voice rasped out barely above a whisper. “I honestly don’t even know,” she breath

  • Chapter 955 – Terror in the PM’s Office

    *****Back inside the Prime Minister’s office… still by the exit door.The wealthy man and his subordinates had already vanished for more than five minutes, but even long after their footsteps faded, and their van had driven off, the Prime Minister’s own subordinates still stood as though petrified.Not one of them had moved, and not one of them had breathed properly. Instead, they looked like statues someone had forgotten to sculpt faces on… appearing white, rigid, and horrified.Their hearts thudded so violently in their chests that if someone had opened their chests at this moment, the organs would have probably leaped out like panicked rabbits trying to evacuate a burning forest.And honestly… who could blame them?None of them had gone deaf in the last ten minutes, and for this reason, every single one of them had heard the wealthy man’s words… and the promise threaded beneath them.No… threat hadn’t even been the right word. That had been nothing but a declaration… a verd

  • Chapter 954 – The Wealthy Man’s True Color

    *****Everyone stopped mid-step, their brains momentarily shutting down.“Not… an ordinary person?” the secretary echoed dumbly.But the wealthy man didn’t answer. Instead, his gaze sharpened, a faint flash of insight glinting through his eyes.“To be respected by that old man to such an extent… for him to act so subservient, caring nothing for his reputation or authority… it can only mean one thing.”His voice grew lower, heavier, and so serious that all of them felt their hearts skip… not gently, but violently, as though a fist had punched their chests from the inside.The wealthy man exhaled, his expression tightening with exasperation. “Wasn’t this city supposed to be unclaimed territory?” he asked, sounding genuinely helpless.“Wasn’t that the reason we put in all this effort… even planning to invest billions to make it one of our domains?” he demanded, his voice deepening as frustration bled through.His subordinates turned solemn, their expressions hardening with the we

  • Chapter 953 – The Wealthy Man’s Threat

    *****The breathing of the Prime Minister’s subordinates instantly hitched upon hearing the wealthy man’s words, all of them staring wide-eyed, their faces turning even paler than before… an impressive achievement considering they already looked like powdered flour.But before any of them could think… before apologies, excuses, knee-bending, or desperate pleading could even form…“Hehehe…”The Wealthy Man chuckled. But it wasn’t joyful or warm.No… this laugh slithered through the air with the unsettling softness of someone lightly sharpening a knife.Then, without another word, he turned around.“Tell the Prime Minister that I require a well-deserving and satisfactory explanation for what happened today,” he said casually… far too casually.Then…“Otherwise…”His voice shifted, dropping into a lethal coldness that scraped across their skin like a blade. The murderous aura that seeped from him in that single word was enough to make several men choke on their breath.He didn

  • Chapter 952 – The Horrified PM’s Subordinates

    *****As soon as the Prime Minister’s subordinates heard the bodyguard’s question, they didn’t merely tremble… they turned ghostly pale, their faces draining of color so fast it looked as though someone had yanked the soul straight out of their bodies.They stood frozen, stiff and blank-eyed, resembling freshly unearthed corpses more than living men.And worst of all, terror didn’t just settle into them… it detonated, making their knees weaken, and causing a cold shiver to crawl up their spines with such intensity that several amongst them felt their legs threatening to give way entirely.The very suggestion of razing down the Prime Minister’s office… a place fortified like a military fortress and guarded by elite-ranked fighters would have been laughable coming from anyone else.They might have even mocked the insanity of the question.But this wasn’t anyone.These two bodyguards were monsters in human skin, their auras so oppressive and overwhelming that anyone who saw them w
