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 1061 – The Revercrest Patriarch Disappointment

    *****Still seated quietly in the corner, the second son, seeing his father like this… caught between disbelief and rage, couldn’t help but release a soft sigh.It wasn’t out of disrespect, but understanding.For a fleeting moment, the second son genuinely believed he had succeeded in making his father see the truth… that his father had finally grasped the implications but simply struggled to accept them.And so, he didn’t answer immediately.Instead, he first gathered his thoughts carefully, arranging them like pieces on a board where one wrong move could cost everything, then…“Father,” he finally said, his tone measured but firm. “Think about it.”His mind drifted back to the so-called master… his casual disdain and the humiliating way he had treated the Revercrests like lesser beings, like they were insects fortunate enough to avoid being crushed.In an instant, a surge of anger rose in the second son’s chest, and before he even realized it, he clenched his teeth.“That m

  • Chapter 1060 – “What Are You Talking About?”

    *****“Kakakaka!”The Revercrest old man suddenly erupted into wild, demonic, and utterly deranged laughter... so evil and ferocious that it directly filled the confined space of the car like something that didn’t belong to a sane man.And hearing it, the second brother was violently jolted, snapping out of his thoughts as if struck by lightning.He stared at his father in alarm, concern etching itself across his face.He had never seen him like this before… not when his enemies had fallen, opposing factions had been crushed, or even when his father had broken through to a higher rank.And yet now…The second son gawked at the old man in a stupor, frozen for a second too long.Then he let out a soft, almost resigned sigh and began.“Father, don’t you think…”However, the words barely left his mouth before the old man stopped laughing.If this had happened in the past… if this son had dared to interrupt him, the atmosphere would have frozen solid in an instant, and killing i

  • Chapter 1059 – The Revercrest Patriarch’s Excitement

    *****At this moment, the Revercrest old man couldn’t help but remain frozen in place, unable to blink, move, or react.He even forgot how to breathe properly.Instead, it was as though time itself had stalled for him, until finally… reality crashed down on him.In the following second;“These… these two bastards!” A raw, ferocious growl tore from his throat as his eyes darkened abruptly, a terrifying aura erupting from his body and flooding the confined space of the SUV like a violent storm.“How dare… how dare the two walk out on me!” he snapped, his voice and body trembling with fury.Inside, however, he was far worse.‘After I made the gravity of the situation clear and after I deliberately withheld the truth… these two shameless, greedy, selfish brats still ran off on their own!’ his thoughts raged uncontrollably.‘Instead of cooperating with me and working together, they chose to compete!’His chest heaved violently, his breath coming sharp and uneven.He had never be

  • Chapter 1058 – The Two Brothers’ Decision

    *****With the old man’s two explanations laid bare, the three brothers knew… without even needing to exchange so much as a glance that there was nothing more they could wring out of him.Their father had completely outmaneuvered them, and this time… he had truly backed them into a corner.And the worst part?He knew it.That realization alone was enough to make something swell in the old man’s chest, and the moment his sons’ gazes drifted away… each of them sinking into their own thoughts, his lips couldn’t help but twitch, then slowly stretched into a wide, satisfied grin.A grin he made sure none of them saw.As for the three brothers, their frustration was palpable.After witnessing the neat little trick their father had used to dodge every meaningful answer, all three of them couldn’t help but fall silent, momentarily helpless.Without realizing it, their thoughts spun wildly, grinding through every word, every pause, and every deliberate expression their father had made

  • Chapter 1057 – The Scheme

    *****‘Nonsense!’The thought suddenly snapped through all three of their minds almost simultaneously.In the following second, their expressions shifted so fast that it was almost comical.Their calmness vanished, suspicion flared within them, and their faces hardened. If anyone had been watching closely right now, they might have sworn they were looking at three chameleons changing colors in unison.Then finally, their eyes darkened, sharpening with barely restrained fury, while their fists clenched so hard that their knuckles turned bone-white.‘I’d rather be damned than believe this rubbish,’ Borgia snarled inwardly, his jaw tightening.Every word his father spoke sounded rehearsed… too clean and too convenient.‘This greedy, selfish old man clearly wants to hoard everything for himself,’ the third brother nearly roared in his thoughts, rage bubbling dangerously close to the surface. ‘He thinks he can feed us scraps while he eats the whole feast.’The second brother, quie

  • Chapter 1056 – ‘Nonsense!’

    *****Not one of the Revercrest Patriarch’s three sons flinched or looked away at his gaze, which was completely strange.Instead, they met his stare head-on, leaving the old man to understand with perfect clarity at that moment that… the image his three sons once held of him had shattered completely.Yet surprisingly, he wasn’t offended… not even a bit.He had anticipated this; after all, back when he and his own siblings had learned of their family’s secret and witnessed their father groveling before another man like an inferior, the same thing had happened. Their awe had turned into doubt, their fear into ambition, and their reverence into rivalry.In fact, if anything, the old man was mildly impressed right now.To remain this composed after experiencing secrets capable of shaking one’s worldview… he felt that his sons weren’t entirely useless. But that admiration stopped there.He was only slightly impressed and nothing more.He gave no indication of it whatsoever.Inste
