Chapter 1721 – An Unexpected Turn of Events
*****The gruesome scene everyone had anticipated never came.Xavier’s head did not shatter on impact, his skull did not crack open, and his brains did not spill across the ground.Xavier did not even collapse.In fact, nothing happened at all.He… simply remained where he stood, completely unmoved, while the two pairs of fists rested against either side of his head, as though the B-rank fighters had suddenly forgotten how to complete their attack.The sight was so absurd that everyone who witnessed it froze.For a moment, it was as though every soul in the vicinity had abandoned its body, leaving behind nothing but motionless shells.The two B-rank fighters, Matthew, the armed men, and the evicted hotel guests all froze in stunned silence. No one blinked or uttered a word. Even those who had been bracing for the sound of shattering bones seemed to have forgotten how to breathe.‘What just… happened?’The same question flashed through countless minds.They desperately tried to make se
Chapter 1720 – The Crowd’s Expectation
*****At the front, Matthew stared at Xavier smugly. For once, he forced himself to keep his mouth shut and simply enjoy the sight before him.He wanted to savor the moment when the arrogant man who had repeatedly ignored him finally realized the consequences of his actions.Unfortunately, the longer Matthew remained silent, the harder it became for him to contain himself.Eventually, a chuckle escaped his lips.“Petrified now?” he remarked sarcastically. “I thought you were bold and fearless. Were all those just for show?”He laughed again, his eyes filled with contempt as he compared the unmoving Xavier before him to the man he had encountered at the auction.That man had been arrogant beyond belief. He had gone around offending everyone without giving face to anyone, including Matthew himself.Yet now…Matthew laughed even louder.Still, despite all his mockery, Xavier didn't even blink.It was as though Matthew's words had never entered his ears.If anything, Xavier merely watched
Chapter 1719 – Under Attack
*****This time, the two B-rank fighters looked Xavier over carefully, searching for anything that could explain their unease. Yet nothing about him seemed threatening.His posture was relaxed, his expression indifferent, and there was no sign that he possessed the strength to make two B-rank fighters feel threatened.Besides, they were full-fledged B-rank fighters.How old was Xavier, anyway?There was simply no way someone of his apparent age could have already reached B-rank. At most, he should be a C-rank fighter, and even that would already make him an extraordinary prodigy.With that conclusion firmly established in their minds, the two men couldn't help chuckling at themselves.They had actually allowed a spineless man like Xavier to make them hesitate.The thought was humiliating.Fortunately, nobody seemed to know what had crossed their minds. If the crowd had realized that two B-rank fighters had been intimidated by a coward, how would they ever raise their heads in this cit
Chapter 1718 – An Unexpected Instinct
*****Xavier slowly shifted his gaze away from Mistress Ayra and turned toward the two B-rank fighters. The warmth and calmness that had remained in his eyes while speaking to her vanished almost immediately, leaving his face completely devoid of emotion.His expression became so indifferent that it was difficult to tell what he was thinking.“You two shouldn’t have ambushed my person,” he said calmly, his voice carrying neither anger nor hostility.Yet the moment those words reached the two B-rank fighters, an inexplicable chill crawled down their spines.It was fleeting, disappearing almost as quickly as it appeared, but both men unmistakably felt it. Their bodies instinctively stiffened, and their hearts skipped a beat as they exchanged a bewildered glance.‘What... was that?’Neither could explain the sensation. It hadn’t been an aura in the conventional sense, nor had Xavier visibly done anything.He had simply spoken, yet for that brief instant, both of them had felt as though s
Chapter 1717 – “I’ll Take Over From Here”
*****Without wasting another moment, the two B-rank fighters stepped toward her, their auras surging as they closed the distance.The onlookers watched with their mouths slightly agape, still struggling to understand how the situation had changed so dramatically.‘Wasn't she supposed to be a fake C-rank fighter?’‘Hadn't the young master already regained control of the situation?’‘Then why was he suddenly leaving everything to his guards?’The questions raced through their minds, but nobody could find an answer.They had witnessed Mistress Ayra display strength that contradicted their earlier assumptions, watched Matthew struggle to locate her, and then seen the two B-rank fighters react to something none of them could perceive.Yet, somehow, the young master had dismissed their concerns, and the situation had returned to what appeared to be a straightforward execution.Unable to make sense of it all, the spectators could only shake their heads and look at Mistress Ayra with pity.H
Chapter 1716 – The B-rank Fighters’ Confusion
*****For a while, a suffocating silence settled over the vicinity. No one moved, and even the boldest spectators seemed reluctant to break the stillness.It was as though the entire crowd had collectively forgotten how to breathe, each person waiting for someone else to explain the impossible scene before them.Eventually, Matthew recovered from his shock.However, the arrogant young master who had been boasting moments earlier seemed to have undergone a complete transformation.His expression had hardened, his eyes burned with aggression, and the humiliation of losing control of the situation had left him visibly irritable."Why did you two stop?" he spat, glaring furiously at the B-rank fighters.The spectators exchanged bewildered looks.‘Wasn't he the one who told them not to interfere earlier?’The contradiction was so obvious that several people nearly wondered whether they had misheard him.Matthew had insisted on handling Mistress Ayra himself, refusing to let his guards inte
