*****

A sleek, luxurious car sat silently in the parking lot, its elegant design and calm exterior betraying the storm raging within.

Inside, the atmosphere was anything but serene right now.

The air felt extremely thick, as though an invisible weight was pressing down on everyone within right now.

Each breath was labored, the tension so suffocating that it seemed to consume the very oxygen in the space.

The pressure was so tense that it materialized into frost that clung to the windshields, making it look as if winter had suddenly descended inside the vehicle.

Four people occupied the car—two in the front and two in the back.

Yet, three of them dared not make a sound, feeling the charged, almost electric sensation filling the air and pricking at their skin like tiny needles.

The poor old driver’s face was a mask of anxiousness, fear, and confusion, his thoughts swirling with unanswered questions.

Beside the driver, the bodyguard’s eyes burned with fury and killing intent, hi

    *****‘So… so powerful.’‘This isn’t strength… this is control.’‘Is he… a god?’These thoughts abruptly spread like wildfire in the crowd’s minds after a moment of shock.And before they even realized it, their eyes grew even brighter, their pupils dilated, and their gazes locked firmly onto Xavier as though he were some divine being who had casually descended into their mundane lives out of sheer boredomIf only statues could be erected in a second, half of them would’ve already been mentally sketching his likeness.However, the instant Xavier caught sight of these frighteningly zealous, shining eyes, his scalp tingled, and goosebumps rippled across his skin.Unable to help himself, he swallowed hard, and:“…This again,” he thought grimly.Quickly, he shifted his gaze to Sage Myron, hoping to find at least one sane anchor in this sea of devotion.Instead, he found the worst possible sight.The old man looked radiant.No… he was glowing.At this moment, Sage Myron’s ent

    *****“Please rise.”Xavier’s voice was so calm, restrained, and very polite.Yet…“Please let us remain like this, sir!”The response exploded in unison from the crowd, so synchronized that it was as though they shared the same mind.Then the crowd lowered their heads even further, as though they were afraid he might be offended by their insufficient devotion.Xavier, witnessing this, couldn’t help but freeze.But before he could even react, Sage Myron lifted his head slightly, his aged eyes filled with unshakable conviction.“Sir A-rank Warrior,” the old man declared solemnly, “this is what you deserve.”Xavier: “_”For a long moment, he simply stared at the respected patriarch, then… ‘What did I do to deserve this level of torture?’Xavier genuinely didn’t know whether to laugh, cry, or pretend he had suddenly gone deaf.Of course, he understood why they were acting like this.They had seen his true strength.Two days ago… right in front of them, he had battled and s

  • Chapter 1065 – A Helpless Xavier

    *****Inside the Myron estate.Completely oblivious to the fact that layers upon layers of conspiracies were currently fermenting around as the target… each more twisted than the last, Xavier stood inside the estate, staring ahead with a rare trace of helplessness written across his face.And the reason for that helplessness…Xavier had come here with the purest intentions… nothing more and nothing less.He had simply come to fulfill his promise to treat the Myron family’s second son and then retrieve the Blueheart Lotus that had been promised to him by Sage Myron.Yet reality had clearly decided to mock him.Because what greeted him the moment he stepped into the Myron estate was something so absurd and so exaggerated that even his calm temperament faltered for a second.Not only had the entire Myron household come out to welcome him the moment he stepped inside the estate, but they were even treating him as though he were some supreme emperor descending upon a pitiful, lowly

  • Chapter 1064 – The Revercrest Second Son’s Decision

    *****Unlike his father and brothers, who were drunk on ambition and blinded by greed, the second, unassuming, and usually discarded son had always been different.He had always been a great critical thinker… someone who makes perfect use of his brain.And the more he thought about it, the more disturbed he became.If Xavier were truly insignificant as his brothers had suggested… then why would the Prime Minister bow to him?Why would a figure of such terrifying status lower his head and address him with that title?“Grandmaster…” the second son suddenly whispered under his breath, and in the following second, a cold breath slipped past his lips, and an abrupt, sharp jolt of adrenaline raced down his spine.“I really hope,” he said slowly, unease creeping into his chest, “that it isn’t the same kind of grandmaster I’m thinking of.”He swallowed hard, his back already drenched in cold sweat even before he realized it.For a brief moment, he remained frozen in place, his though

  • Chapter 1063 – “Let Me Show Them That One Doesn’t Compete With His Father.”

    *****The Revercrest elderly Patriarch forced himself not to turn his head, fully aware that if he did… if he so much as saw his second’s son, he might actually lose control right there and strangle him on the spot for daring to speak ill of the master.In truth, he couldn’t wait for the second son to disappear from his sight.If only he hadn’t allowed himself to be so optimistic and hadn’t believed… even for a fleeting moment that with his second son supporting him, he could easily secure victory, turn around and crush his other two sons’ wild ambitions, showing them just how foolish they were for daring to compete against him.Just moments ago, the Revercrest Patriarch had been exhilarated… several times more excited than he had been in years, but now?His teeth ground together so violently that it was a miracle they didn’t shatter.Then slowly and deliberately… his eyes turned icy cold.“Fine,” the old man suddenly muttered under his breath, his voice low and steeped in dark

  • Chapter 1062 – The Revercrest Patriarch’s Fury

    *****At this moment, the second son, seeing his father in this state and hearing the words he had just spilled out of his mouth, couldn’t help but freeze in place.For a brief second, his mind simply went completely blank, unable to react. But then his brows drew together in the following second, confusion slowly surfacing in his eyes, thick and heavy.“You…” he began instinctively, but before he could even form another word, the old man, clearly having lost every remaining thread of restraint he had in him, exploded.“Get the hell out of my car!” he roared without even the slightest iota of grace.His voice was dark, ferocious, and packed with such intense rage that it seemed to shake the very air inside the confined space.It wasn’t just shouting… the words were an order heavily soaked in blood and authority.And hearing it, the second son felt his entire body tremble violently, his heart slamming so hard against his chest that it felt as though it might tear free.“I…” His
