*****

Bloodfang Viper scrutinized the trembling subordinate kneeling before him, his features eerily composed, his expression an enigma.

With this, the oppressive silence in the bright ordinary room stretched unbearably, wrapping around the masked figures like an invisible noose.

This was no ordinary matter—it was the singular reason he had journeyed to Riverton City.

For years, he had scoured countless regions, exhaustively seeking an Everdusk Bloom, only to always come up empty-handed. Then, finally, a glimmer of hope surfaced—intel revealing that such a rare treasure was within the city's reach.

Bloodfang Viper was not a man who procrastinated and the very notion of delay was an insult to his nature. He always executes his missions with unwavering resolve, even if it means wagering his own life. And yet, this time… he had delayed doing his own thing.

    *****'What… why is the ground above me? And why am I looking down at the ceiling?’The thought flickered, brief and incomprehensible, in the final moments of the four D-rank fighters.They tried turning their heads, but it seemed immovable, further confusing them.After considerable effort, they finally managed to shift their gaze downward. Their eyes instantly widened, stretching unnaturally as they absorbed the grotesque scene before them.‘Wait… where is my… body?’This was their last thought, and in the following second, their gazes, frozen in shock, dimmed within mere seconds.The light within them faded, extinguished like dying embers in the dead of night. Their eyelids, heavy with the weight of death, fluttered shut.And then—silence.Their souls departed. Never to return.On the other hand, their leader…He remained kneeling on the ground, frozen in place, his body stiff as though turned to stone.

What in the world?”The estate’s servants, guards, and workers rushed out of their quarters, confusion swirling among them like a thick fog.“Who could possibly be laughing like that at this hour?”Their anxious gazes darted around, searching for the source of the disturbing sound—when suddenly...“This father has finally ascended to supremacy!

    ***** Ironclad Prison, located in the most uninhabitable and unwelcoming region of Elaria. As implied by its name, this prison was constructed entirely from solid iron, with no hint of other materials and It was the most frightening prison ever created, holding not common criminals but formidable and ruthless ones such as warlords, high-level cultivators, mafia leaders, and those who had caused widespread devastation. The main reason this prison was feared around the globe wasn't merely its solid iron structure; rather, its location in the coldest place on Earth. Each day in this prison was a frozen hell, so unbearable that many warlords had died within its confines, while those who survived faced relentless and terrifying torture daily. In one word, this prison represented the ultimate terror for every power on Earth, and no matter how strong you were, escape was impossible without being released. … “Have you guys heard? That demon will finally be released today!" an ex-te

A powerful, erudite, and prominent Grandmaster?” “You—you hadn’t heard the news?” “Seems so.” "Ugh! Whatever. According to the news, the prime minister, all the First-rank family leaders, and other major figures in our city have been at the airport since last night, waiting to welcome this god disguised as a man." “Huh- Wow!” ***** “Are they talking about me?” Xavier, who had just entered the city and was appreciating the massive changes around him abruptly mumbled as he came to a stop, staring at the two men in suits walking before him. He frowned intently the following second before subconsciously looking at the crowded walkway opposite him, which contained people going to work. Xavier quickly joined and blended into the crowd to listen to their chatter and as it turned out, everyone was animatedly discus

    ***** Of all the things Xavier had visualized his first meeting with his fiancée would be after five years, this definitely was never one of them. He remained dumbstruck for a long time, gaping, with his head pounding hysterically in disbelief as he stared at the couple who wouldn’t tear from each other even after his intrusion, only stopping after they finished having their climax. They finally glanced toward the door, wondering about the person who had dared to intrude on their room. “Which motherf*cking bastard are you?” Victor, a short man with an unremarkable appearance, demanded with rage while Jennifer’s eyes grew cold, unable to believe that someone had dared to barge into her room while she and her partner were together. Infuriated, Jennifer quickly rolled herself into the duvet on the bed and leaped to her feet, pointing aggressively at Xavier. “You!!!” She barked, wanting to curse but then she went into a daze the next second, unable to believe her eyes.

    ***** Xavier, with no background nor support whatsoever, had withstood the rain, blood, and hunger alone to create his company from scratch seven years ago and in a matter of two years, managed to turn it into a slightly successful company, with more than twenty employees. He had handed it over to Jennifer after he was sentenced to prison five years ago, hoping that she’d manage it and from the profit made, take care of his parents. Never in his life had he imagined that not only would she not take care of his parents, but would also team together with his oppressor and sell off his properties, a lie he obviously did not believe. Xavier began to fume frantically, but eventually, clenched his fists to calm the rage that was on the verge of bursting out. Meanwhile, seeing Xavier in this state, the adulterous pair before him had wide grins on their faces. Jennifer felt not even the slightest trace of pity nor remorse for him and for betraying betraying him. She was even more pl

    *****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

    ***** 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

    *****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

    ***** 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,
