*****

Inside the conference room of Crestline Insurance Group.

“You… you… what have you done?”

A middle-aged man in a sharp suit, who was always known to exude authority and confidence but now drenched in cold sweat, his face as pale as chalk, and his body trembling uncontrollably pointed his finger accusingly at another man, the company’s representative, who stood there looking like he had lost everything.

The rest of the board members sat frozen in shock, their jaws slack, and their eyes wide with disbelief.

Just some moments ago, they had been celebrating like the shareholders of Pinnacle Banking Corp, convinced that their company was on the brink of skyrocketing alongside Sky Group. But now… everything had crumbled.

“How… how could you do this? Why?!” Crestline Insurance Group’s president roared desperately, his voice thick with rage and disbelief.

“My instructions were crystal clear, to merely apply pressure on Sky Group, make them submit to Young Master Lucius’s demands.

    *****Inside another conference room;“You will go with us and tell Sky Group that the decision to terminate the partnership was yours and yours alone. Is that clear?”A roguish man ordered, his voice low and threatening as he towered menacingly over a disheveled representative, whose face was currently swollen, bruised, and bloodied… clear evidence of a brutal beating that had left him barely conscious.“I… I…” The representative’s bloodshot eyes welled up with tears, but he sniffed hard, struggling to hold them back.His pride was completely gone, replaced by raw fear.“Y-yes, yes sir president” he stammered anxiously, his voice no louder than a whisper, terrified of what defiance might bring after the torture he’d already endured.….At another company;“Have you seen them?”A middle-aged woman who was dressed in immaculate business attire asked the question with cold indifference.Presently, her face showed not even the slightest hint of emotion as she stood over a trem

    *****“Why would you say that?”Sarah’s voice was impossibly soft as she looked at Little Lola, deep concern flickering in her eyes.The little girl, however, remained oblivious to any oddity in her words. Instead, she simply smiled brightly, innocently, and with utter contentment, her small face flushed with genuine happiness and relief.“Because… Little Lola feels that this might be the only best day of her life,” she answered honestly, her voice light as if she had just shared a simple fact.“This…”Sarah and David’s gazes locked across the table, and in that silent exchange, an unspoken understanding passed between them.Then, as though making up her mind, Sarah turned to Xavier.“Come here,” she said gently.Without waiting for his response, she stood and walked toward the living room and the utterly confused Xavier followed closely behind.“Is something the matter, Mother?” he asked carefully, watching as his mother furrowed her brows, deep in thought.For a moment, S

    *****Xavier wanted to correct his mother, but seeing how deeply she was engrossed in her plan—and how joyful she was, a joy he couldn’t bring himself to dampen, he held back, shaking his head helplessly.On the other hand, Little Lola had turned into a statue.She sat there, unmoving, staring dazedly at Sarah as though she had just heard something too good to be true.Then, after what felt like an eternity, her tiny lips parted.“B-Big Aunty… wants Little Lola to stay here?” she whispered, her voice so small, so fragile, it nearly broke Sarah’s heart.“Yes.” Sarah nodded her head eagerly, her eyes glistening with unshed tears.Then, all of a sudden—“Big Aunty wants to make Little Lola a servant, right?”These words were spoken with heartbreaking certainty, hope, and excitement.Hearing it, Xavier, Sarah, and David all froze in complete shock.But before any of them could even react, Little Lola suddenly jumped down from her seat, dropping to her knees.Her small hands pr

    *****Xavier clenched his jaw, looking away. David let out a slow breath, rubbing his temples as if to ease the ache growing inside him.Sarah, on the other hand, could feel her heart breaking into pieces.‘This child.’‘This tiny, precious child…’‘Had she truly believed that the only way to be loved… was to serve?’A lump formed in Sarah’s throat and just then, David and Xavier glanced at her, waiting to see how she would respond.For a moment, Sarah felt helpless.Then, suddenly, an idea struck her.In the following second, as though it was the best-ever idea in the world, her eyes lit up.She looked at the little girl and, with a warm, teasing smile, said:“Well… since you’re too little to be my child…”The room grew so silent that even the sound of breathing felt loud.Xavier arched a brow and David frowned slightly in confusion.But before either of them could react, Sarah beamed and declared:“How about you be my grandchild instead?”“This…”The entire room tur

    *****Right now, Mistress Ayra stood motionless, the air around her feeling thick, suffocating, and almost unreal.Her graceful composure and aura of effortless leadership had completely shattered.For what felt like an eternity, she remained in place, unable to react, her mind looping over the name she had just heard.“Bloodfang Viper.”She muttered the name again under her breath, her voice barely a whisper as a dark memory resurfaced in her mind.This person was nothing but a madman.No! He was several times worse than a madman to the extent that even among the lunatics of the Bloodfang League, he was a being they feared and no one wished to have any relation with.A man who would complete his mission at any cost… no matter how steep and expensive.Even if it meant sacrificing himself.Even if it meant slaughtering the target’s entire bloodline.Even if it meant dragging the whole world into ruin.And even if the price of success required offering up his own loved ones?

    *****“Bloodfang Viper is one of the Bloodfang League’s most powerful assassins and one of their few top-tier, hidden assets.”Mistress Ayra muttered to herself and then tapped her fingers lightly against her arm, her mind rapidly trying to connect the pieces.“But since Bloodfang League has hundreds of lunatic assassins who could easily finish the mission, why did they send one of their absolute best?”Her brows furrowed deeper in contemplation and perplexity.“Why are they taking this target that seriously?”“… could it be that they had already done their research and realized something I haven't, that no lesser assassin could handle him?”Several thoughts popped into her mind and the more she thought about it, the more questions arose in her mind, and the more questions that arose, the greater her unease became.Before she knew it, a strong headache crept in.Ultimately, Mistress Ayra couldn't help but rub her temple before exhaling a sharp breath.“…There’s no point in st

    *****For a moment, time itself seemed to pause within the bar, everyone staring at the Second Lion King in a daze, then;“Who do we have here?”Mistress Ayra’s voice rang out, bright and playful as always.In the following second, the heavy and suffocating silence blanketing the bar was shattered like a piece of glass.The Second Lion King flinched slightly, as did the other customers, all of them breaking out of their trance.Immediately following this, awkwardness spread through the bar like a disease, no one knowing what to say.Everyone in the bar knew what had happened and had made it the only discussed topic within the bar.They had mocked it, calling the Second Lion King a eunuch who had lost everything and also cursing his deceased brother.They had gossiped about it right up until the moment he walked in, loudly laughing about it until the second Lion King entered and heard them.Recalling this, the customers felt their throats go dry, and sweat began to form as th

    *****“I’m really confused, though,” an elderly man muttered as he drove along the outskirts of Riverton City, his voice tinged with curiosity. His hair was a full head of gray, a testament to his years of experience, yet his expression showed genuine uncertainty at this moment.Beside this old man, in the passenger seat, sat a lean man who didn’t seem to be older than thirty-five.His appearance was painfully ordinary—neither handsome nor ugly, the kind of man who would blend seamlessly into any crowd and whom no one would spare a second glance.But to those who truly looked… who paid attention to him, they would notice that there was something off about him.A casual smile was permanently plastered on his face, an unsettling contrast to the cold glint in his eyes.His aura was also very calm yet laced with something far more sinister, a constant whisper of bloodshed that tainted the very air around him.And lastly, his demeanor was playful, even relaxed, but beneath the surfa

    *****Bloodfang Viper stood in place, his lips twitching as he processed the words the guard had just spat at him.‘Me… beg for a job, money, and an opportunity to meet your madam?’ he thought incredulously.Then in the next second, a flicker of something cold and deadly flashed in his eyes… a murderous glint so brief it almost didn’t exist.But for the security guard, it might as well have lasted an eternity.In that fraction of a second, he felt like he had plummeted straight into hell.He literally saw his life flash before his very eyes… a whirlwind of memories, as if death itself had grazed him. He felt blood, not on his skin, but in his mind, as if he were drowning in a sea of carnage.In the next second, a cold sweat drenched his back, and he began to shiver uncontrollably.“What… what was that?” he mumbled, his voice barely a whisper, his eyes losing every focus.On the other hand, Bloodfang Viper breathes out slowly, forcibly calming himself, then finally…“You’re l

    *****“That was…”Xavier couldn’t help but sigh as he stepped out of the hospital, shaking his head as he tried to push the image of the reunited couple out of his mind.The scene of Tife and Elliot breaking down, their raw emotions pouring out, lingered like a shadow.He ultimately rubbed his temples, then shaking off the thought, he flagged down a taxi.“Sky Group,” he said casually, sliding into the back seat.In the next second, the driver’s lips twitched into a faint smirk, his eyes flashing with mockery.‘Another fool thinking he can try his luck with Sky Group,’ the driver thought, a look of mockery and disdain flashing on his face while suppressing a chuckle, but he said nothing.Why would he even say anything? Ever since Harrison Conglomerate announced its interest in partnering with Sky Group, the area had been flooded with hopefuls. People desperate for a job, a connection — or even just a glimpse of the elusive president of Sky Group.The driver, like the other ta

    *****Hearing the sound of the slap that had just echoed through the ward like a gunshot, everyone froze, their breaths caught in their throats… especially Elliot, whose face burned where Tife’s hand had struck him.For a moment, nobody moved. Nobody spoke. Instead, they all just stared, stunned to the core, trying to process what had just happened.Then, Tife’s voice broke the silence.“You… you thought I preferred this life over the one I had with you?” she asked, but this time, her voice was no longer venomous, instead, it was trembling with unbearable rage and disbelief.Her eyes burned with fury, her chest rising and falling with the weight of her emotions.“Is that why you let me be taken away?” she demanded, her gaze cutting into Elliot like a blade.“I…” Elliot flinched from these questions and stared, guilt flickering across his face — fleeting, but Tife caught it.In the next second, her lip curled in disgust, a bitter chuckle spilling from her throat.“I knew it,”

    *****Tife finally looked in Elliot’s direction for the first time since her entry after feeling his devastated state.This was her first love — the man she had fallen for even when he had nothing.Even when he doesn’t have any ambition.This was the man she had dedicated her youth to and the very man she had given everything for.The man who had betrayed her.The man who had let her be taken away.This very man, whom she would have willingly sacrificed her life for hadn't even dared to stand up for her when the cruel landlord came. Instead, he had collapsed under fear, too terrified to resist and stand against the oppressor.Now, seeing him again after such a long time… desperately apologizing and repeatedly bowing his head to the ground, Tife stood frozen.She couldn’t blink, couldn’t move. Her body was so tense, her chest rising and falling under the weight of her emotions.Hatred.Pure, seething hatred coursed through her veins.At a mere glance, she could tell that El

    ********Xavier, “_”He didn’t need to ask anymore because it was already painfully obvious who this woman was.To confirm his speculation, he glanced at Elliot, and the moment he saw the one-armed man who was still frozen in place with a body drenched in cold sweat, Xavier sighed internally.‘I thought as much,’ he mulled.Understanding what was going on, Xavier first considered quietly leaving the room to give them privacy, but doing so felt like it would shatter the fragile moment.So, he stayed, watching quietly and doing his best to remain invisible.….On the other hand, by the time Tife’s sobs finally quieted, quite a lot of time had passed.With such a gentleness that no one would argue he was her biological father, the old man slowly helped Tife calm down.Seeing this, Selene cautiously approached, her eyes glistening.“Sister Tife,” she called out gently, her voice full of concern.“When… when did you come back?”Tife, carefully wiping her eyes gently looked at

    *****At this moment, it was as though Elliot’s spirit, soul, and mind had completely shattered, leaving behind nothing but a hollow and lifeless shell of a man.How long has it been?One year? Two years?It felt like an eternity!And yet, currently standing before him, as if fate itself was trying to toy with him was none but… her.His wife.The very woman he had failed to protect.In an instant, the memories Elliot had worked so hard and done his best to bury came flooding back with cruel intensity.It began from their very first meeting and slowly moved to the way when she had given up everything to be with him… to their fleeting moments of happiness.And then… the day he lost her.The evil landlord, along with him, had destroyed everything. And now—just when he was trying to put her behind him, move forward, and find a way to become a better person—she appears.Several times prettier than he had remembered.……Meanwhile, while Elliot was completely lost in his daze,

    *****While Elliot’s mind spiraled in chaos, drowning in regret and pain, God’s Time could only stare at Xavier, tears pouring down his face like a broken dam.He had spent his entire life doing what he believed was right—helping others in the best way he knew how, without expecting anything in return.Yet, never — not even once in his wildest dreams had he imagined that great heart of kindness... of helping people with no expectation for return would one day be the very thing that saved his life.It helped him out in his direst, most hopeless, and weakest state.Gave him a second chance.A chance to live.And a chance to start over.Thinking this, God’s Time couldn’t help but clench his teeth tightly against each other, his chest heaving with the weight of his emotions. Then, sniffing hard, he nodded his head repeatedly, appearing as if he was sealing an unspoken vow.“Even… even if I have to do good until the day I die… even if kindness would end up taking my life,” he whis

    *****By the time the husband and wife’s emotional outburst ultimately settled, several minutes had already passed.Realizing what she had done, Selene awkwardly let go of her husband and jumped to her feetThe ward fell into a heavy silence afterward, broken only by the occasional sniffle or shaky breath.Finally, however, God’s Time turned back to Xavier, his eyes swollen and red.He didn’t speak immediately.Instead, he stared, as if trying to reconcile the image of the boy he thought Xavier was with the man who had shattered his expectations beyond miles.The night they had met flashed through his mind like scenes from a fractured dream.He had assumed Xavier was also a lost soul — a wanderer like himself, someone who had fled his village in search of a greener pasture, not knowing that he would only be swallowed by the harshness of the city like himself and the others.He had even offered Xavier a place to stay in his crumbling home, thinking he was doing the boy a favor

  • Chapter 341 – What Did I Even Walk Into

    *****Right now, the ward felt warm.Way too warm. The kind of warmth that didn’t come from sunlight or cozy conversations but from a tension so heavy it thickened the air.Xavier, the only one seated after being practically forced into a chair, felt this weight pressing down on him, so he sat awkwardly, his fingers lightly tapping against his knee, his sharp eyes flickering between Elliot and his father.The two men stood before him like sentries, bombarding him with an endless stream of gratitude.They thanked him for liberating their neighborhood.For shattering the chains of years-long oppression.For stepping into their chaos like an angel of vengeance and fighting a war that wasn’t his to fight.Their words tumbled over each other, their spits flying as they praised him relentlessly.Xavier, however, could only offer a faint, helpless smile in response.He was the one who had told them moments ago not to be tensed, but…He felt like he was suffocating, why?He wasn
