Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 379 – Underestimated Again
***** At this instant, the atmosphere in the opening was deathly silent, all eyes fixated on Xavier’s nonchalant and languid posture. No one had felt his presence, and for this reason, although the expressions of the figures clad in all black were concealed by the masks covering their faces, one could tell that they appeared a bit tensed and rigid at this moment, judging by their mere posture. Even the elderly man and his granddaughter found themselves awkwardly staring at Xavier, uncertain about how to react or what expression to wear at his abrupt appearance and request. And just like that, time slowly crawled forward like a sluggish snail, with no one making a move until finally… “We are members of the Nightforce Mercenary Guild. State your identity!” the leader of the masked figures commanded, his voice calculating and austere. ‘Mem... members of Night… Nightforce Mercenary Guild?’ It was the old man who reacted, his eyes suddenly widening in shock, his jaw sla
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 380 – Which of You Idiots Wants to be the Next to Fall?
***** The gorgeously, beautiful, young woman screamed just as Xavier was about to round a corner, her voice abruptly startling everyone. All eyes immediately shifted to her, and the elderly man’s gaze became filled with worry and confusion. “What do you think you’re doing?!” He hissed, while the masked figures glared menacingly at her, their murderous aura spiraling outward. However, the young woman did not spare any of them a glance. Instead, she fixed a hopeful yet anxious stare on Xavier, who had already come to a stop, his back still turned toward her. She trembled all over, her fingers nervously twisting around each other. “You… you claim you can protect us if we hand over the Everdusk Bloom, right?” She stammered. In the next moment, a suffocating, oppressive silence blanketed the area, every gaze instantly locking onto the young woman. Her grandfather and the masked men. They were dumbfounded beyond measure, then… “She…” The masked figures didn’t kn
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 381 – You Are Not Some Ordinary Guy, Are You?
***** For a moment, no one could respond. Not the elderly man, not his granddaughter, and most especially, not the masked mercenaries. Everyone continued staring at Xavier in a trance who should have already been slaughtered, completely unsure of how to react until finally… “Where… where is Fifth Brother?” One of the masked figures stammered, shattering the silence like a fragile piece of glass. In the next second, speculations filled the air. “Fifth Brother and his usual antics.” “Why hasn’t he finished off this idiot already?” “Ugh! I should have been assigned the task.” The masked men began to express their discontent and irritation while scanning their surroundings. However, Xavier did not interject. Instead, he remained entirely at ease, even leisurely chewing on a blade of grass he had procured from who knows where. At last, however, when the group of mercenaries began to complain after not seeing what they were searching for… “Are you searchin
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 382 – Sage Myron & His Granddaughter Anxiousness
***** Although Xavier could perceive the impact of his actions, he continued to feign innocence and ignorance, casually chewing on the blade dangling between his lips. “What do you mean I’m not an ordinary person?” He questioned irritably. “Do I have two heads or four arms?”” “This…” The masked leader’s legs tremble. “Hehehe.” The stunning woman, on the other hand, suddenly found herself chuckling, her eyes gleaming as she fixed her gaze on Xavier. Everyone glanced in her direction, yet no one dared to reprimand her because, at this moment, a terrifying presence was standing before them. The mercenary leader, after staring at Xavier in stunned silence for what felt like an eternity, took a deep breath and forcibly steadied himself. “Considering how effortlessly you have subdued those two, you are certainly not an E-rank fighter, nor are you a D-rank,” he stated pensively. And the instant the three people present with him heard his speculation, their breathing
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 383 – Sending The Mercenaries Bolting With Their Tails Between Their Legs
***** For a moment that felt like an eternity, an oppressive, deathly silence consumed the area. It was so stifling and suffocating that no one could think or even blink. They couldn’t even move their limbs, making them suddenly resemble frozen statues. Every single person became so rigid that one would assume they were standing before a celestial being who could erase their very existence should they make a single movement. Aside from the three masked men on the crooked streetlight pole, who had already lost consciousness, their leader and the last remaining subordinate slumped against the wall, fixating their gaze on Xavier. Although their expressions were concealed beneath their masks, anyone could envision the sheer dread and panic currently lurking beneath. Meanwhile, Sage Myron and his granddaughter—both remained petrified on the ground, their faces resembling those whose very souls had been ripped away from them. They neither blinked nor stirred; instead,
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 384 - Departed
*****As soon as Sage Myron’s granddaughter processed his words, her face drained of all color and she hurriedly grasped his arm, her gaze burning with terror and incredulity, as though silently demanding why he had just questioned Xavier.Meanwhile, Xavier remained unfazed, his expression devoid of emotion, and seeing this, Sage Myron became terrified, what he had just done finally settling in."I…" He swallowed hard. "I wasn’t trying to question you, sir. I was just afraid they wouldn’t let the issue go and would rush to report you to the A-rank warrior who assigned them this mission, compelling him to come after you," he explained, his unease becoming even more evident with each word.Xavier was their savior, their benefactor, and he couldn’t allow misfortune to befall him because he had chosen to assist them.Both himself and his granddaughter began to wait anxiously for Xavier’s response, tension coiling around them like a vice.The old man, however, had already begun to of
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 385 – An Hopeful Lyria
***** Both Sage Myron and Lyria remained frozen in place for what felt like an eternity, staring blankly at the spot where Xavier had once stood. A long silence stretched between them until finally— “Grand… Grandfather, he… I think he has just vanished,” Lyria stammered, snapping the old man out of his stupor, and the moment her words sank in, his expression changed significantly. Although he had already realized Xavier was gone, the weight of it was only now settling in, and with it came an overwhelming sense of loss. His features, already aged, seemed to wither further as his eyes dulled with pain and despair. Then— Thud! He collapsed to his butt. “Grandfather!” Lyria cried out with panic, rushing to the man’s side and clutching him tightly—her pillar, her only source of stability. “Are you all right?” she asked, her voice heavily laced with anxiety. Sage Myron trembled violently, his eyes rimmed with red. “I… I don’t think I’ll be able to wake your fath
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 386 – The Mysterious Figures Behind Nightforce Guild
*****The fifth mercenary's voice directly snapped the remaining four out of their daze with brutal force, as if an unseen power had torn them from a nightmarish trance. It felt like being hit by a raw, high-voltage shock, jolting their very souls with a harsh dose of reality.Their eyes darted around, erratic and wide with fear, until all gazes inevitably settled upon their leader.“What?” he barked, his tone edged with hostility, sharp enough to cut through the thick tension in the air. “Why the hell are you all staring at me?”The sheer aggression in his voice sent an immediate shudder through the group, and instinctively, they tore their eyes away, lowering their heads as if submission would shield them from his fury.Yet, no matter how much they tried to suppress their apprehension, the leader himself was no better off. His jaw clenched so tightly that his teeth ground together with a sickening scrape, his breath uneven and laced with barely restrained rage.But amidst the

Chapter 405 – How Much Do You Think I Can Withdraw Using That Information From This Bank?
*****“You… you really are determined to cause trouble, aren’t you?” she snarled, her voice sharp enough to cut steel.Hearing her words, Xavier merely arched a brow at this, a trace of amusement flickering across his lips before he suppressed it.‘Me? Cause trouble?’The thought flitted across his mind, but he chose not to voice it. He simply let her words hang in the air, allowing them to fester in the thick, tension-choked silence.Brenda’s fury only escalated at this. Her entire body trembled, her jaw clenching so tightly it seemed moments away from snapping.How dare he?How dare this nobody demand that she, Brenda Hawthorne, walk over and personally pick up his card?How dare he threaten he would shut down this branch unless I was fired?Who does he think he is?The sheer audacity of it made her blood boil.But suppressing her rage, she turned sharply to Julius, her voice suddenly dripping with sickly sweet reverence.“Young Master Cromwell,” she addressed him smooth
Chapter 404 – You Are Really Determined To Cause Trouble, Aren’t You?
*****Every single person in the bank was struck speechless at this moment.Young master Julius Cromwell was frozen in place, his smirk wiped clean off his face.Brenda Hawthorne, the haughty cashier, gawked, her lips slightly parted as though words had failed her.Her colleagues, the waiting customers, and even the armed security guards—every last one of them—stood motionless, their gazes locked onto Xavier as if he were some mythical beast that had just emerged in their midst.With this, a suffocating tension wrapped around the entire bank like an iron chain. The air itself seemed to constrict, thick with disbelief.Moments ago, the place was filled with noise and chatter, but now? The silence was so absolute, so deafening, that it became more oppressive than the previous clamor.Seconds stretched unbearably long, each one dragging out the tension further.And then suddenly—“Interesting.”The word, uttered in an infuriatingly playful tone, shattered the silence like glass
Chapter 403 – Xavier’s Threat
*****"Although this is my first time meeting you," Julius, in flamboyant attire, spoke with an air of calculated leisure, his piercing gaze sweeping over Xavier from head to toe.The sheer repulsion in his eyes was unmistakable, as though he were looking at something filthy, something unworthy of existence."...And given your…” he drawled, clicking his lips, the disgust in his eyes evident. “…Extremely humble state, I doubt I'll ever have the misfortune of crossing paths with you again," he continued, his voice rich and pleasant to the ear, yet laced with unmistakable derision. "After all, I rarely find myself in the same space as... your kind."His tone, seemingly polite on the surface, was dripping with undisguised contempt.The implication of his words was crystal clear—Xavier was too poor, too insignificant to even exist in the same world as him.Of course, Xavier caught the meaning of his words instantly, yet his face remained impassive, betraying no reaction. His cold, un
Chapter 402 – Xavier’s Disbelief
*****"Ah!!! This is outrageous, and it badly infuriates me!”“You people are nothing but bullies!""How could such a place like this be this shamelessly biased?! We've been waiting for hours, and just because someone wealthy waltzes in, you chose to abandon us all to serve him without any iota of shame and remorse?!""Where is the fairness in this?!""I despise this bank with every fiber of my being!""I swear, I will make sure to spread the word of this disgraceful conduct to my friends, family, and every single person I have ever known! No one will ever trust this corrupt institution again!"Raging voices that overlapped each other continued reverberating throughout the bank, filling the air with sheer indignation.The furious customers standing in the endless queue behind Xavier glowered daggers at the cashier and the ostentatiously dressed man.Their collective fury was palpable—their faces flushed with rage and their eyes ablaze with hostility.Some had even clenched t
Chapter 401 – Bonus Chapter
*****[ A/N: To celebrate the major milestone of reaching chapter 400, here’s a bonus chapter! I wish I could upload more, but as I mentioned in earlier chapters, my schedule has been packed lately. So please bear with me on this one.Thanks again for your support!]—“Hey, boy! Where do you think you’re going?!”“You better not be thinking of cutting the line!”“The hell does this dude think he’s doing?”The room’s atmosphere tensed as multiple voices rose in indignation.Xavier, along with the others, instinctively turned toward the commotion.A man, likely in his early thirties, sauntered forward as though the world belonged to him. His designer-branded suit, a garish explosion of gold and navy blue, clung perfectly to his broad shoulders, and multiple diamond-studded rings glittered on his fingers.Despite the hostile murmurs from the queue, he strutted forward with an air of superiority, flashing a smug, self-satisfied grin.His sheer audacity made it evident that he w
Chapter 400 – The Overtly Arrogant Cashier
*****“Pardon?”Xavier couldn’t help but ask staring in a daze at Brenda, and just then, the lady finally lifted her gaze, her eyes unhurriedly dragging over Xavier from head to toe as if assessing his worth.Then, as if repulsed by what she saw, her lips slowly curled in open disdain.“Do I look like I’m playing here?” she sneered, her voice dripping with contempt.Xavier’s fingers flexed, his patience thinning at an alarming rate.Her voice sharpened further, loud and commanding, as though scolding an unruly dog.“You stand there and wait until I call you! You don’t just walk up like you own the place!”Her tone grated against Xavier’s nerves, and for a split second, his vision darkened.The bank had already tested him for hours. He had endured the horrendous service, the incompetence, the long wait, and the deafening complaints.But this?…….The moment the cashier, Brenda, snapped at Xavier, numerous heads turned in his direction, and immediately, some of Brenda’s colle
Chapter 399 – The Overcrowded Bank
*****It wasn’t long before they arrived at a bank, and as soon as Xavier stepped inside it, he was greeted by a sight that made his brows lift in mild surprise.The place was packed.Long, winding queues stretched across the entire hall, snaking their way to the very back, as though every single person in the city had chosen this exact morning to make a withdrawal.‘Wow.’His eyes swept over the seemingly endless lines of people, amusement flickering across his features.‘What in the world? Are they handing out free money today, or does everyone just happen to be in dire need of cash at the exact same time?’…….At this very moment, Xavier stood motionless, his gaze fixed on the seemingly endless lines stretching across the bank’s interior.A slight frown formed on his face as he scanned the room, his sharp eyes darting from one queue to another, searching—hoping—for the shortest one.Yet, to his dismay, they were all excruciatingly long.The countless air conditioning mac
Chapter 398 – The Soldier’s Respect
*****Xavier woke up very early that morning, his mind already set on the tasks ahead.Without a moment’s delay, he washed himself clean and reached for the only available attire in his possession—the very same outfit he had worn upon his release from prison.Although freshly laundered, it still carried a faint shadow of his past, as if it bore silent witness to the life he had left behind.‘I really need to find time to purchase some proper clothing,’ he mused to himself, though he wasn’t particularly eager about shopping for attire.Despite his usual indifference and dislike for extravagant clothing, the idea of wearing the same plain and uninspiring outfit unsettled him. Now slightly faded, the attire seemed to radiate mediocrity, resembling something a beggar might wear.To be honest, it wasn’t the absence of luxury that troubled him, but what the dress itself represented—a lingering tie to a past he was determined to leave behind.Above all, what unsettled him most was the
Chapter 397 – The Couple’s Plan For Revenge
*****“I’m curious…” Victor muttered suddenly, glancing at Jennifer after hearing her words. “How did he make that soldier obey him like that? It wasn’t just respect—it was absolute deference. Could it be… he has an identity you don’t know about?”“This…”Jennifer faltered.She had been so blinded by hatred just now that she hadn’t considered it. But now…She recalled the soldier’s words, his tone, the way he had bowed his head.Her brows furrowed, and for the first time, uncertainty flickered in her gaze.But then, as if crushing the thought beneath her heel, she let out a scornful laugh.“You think that useless loser is anything special?”Victor didn’t answer, but his hesitation spoke volumes.Jennifer sneered at this. “You… You actually thought that nobody was someone important? What a joke!”Her laughter grew louder, and harsher until it turned into something bordering on hysteria.She laughed until her sides ached until tears pricked her eyes—not from sadness, but fro
