Xayne spoke coldly as he hung the bags of groceries he had just bought on the nearby railing.The old man frowned as he sneered. "Are you threatening me? Kid, don't get cocky! There's always a bigger mountain, always someone stronger. You may be powerful, but you're nothing more than an ant to me. I can crush you with just a flick of my hand.""Oh, really?"Xayne let out a sharp laugh as he suddenly surged with immense power.The atmosphere around them changed instantly, and the sheer force radiating from Xayne made the old man's eyes widen in shock. His voice trembled as he stammered, "Y-you... you're a Bi-Divine Commander? No! This aura… you've surpassed even that! Are you a Tri-Divine Commander?!"Alaric's composure crumbled in an instant as panic set in. He had only just broken through to the realm of a Kickboxing Grandmaster and barely reached the Divine Commander level himself. That achievement was almost unheard of for someone his age, and he believed it placed him among

Back in freshman and sophomore year, Cleopatra and Serena had been the best of friends, as if they were inseparable. They shared everything as if there were no secrets between them.However, things changed in their junior year.Cleopatra fell hard for the university's student council president and went all out trying to win him over.Unfortunately for her, he was not interested in the slightest.Every time she confessed, he shut her down cold.There was a reason because the guy had his eyes on someone else, Serena. He had been chasing after her all along.When Cleopatra found out, it led to a huge argument.She screamed at Serena because she blamed her for stealing her chance at happiness.From that moment on, Cleopatra’s friendship with Serena was over. She hated her passionately as if Serena was the root of all her misery.Throughout their junior and senior years, Cleopatra would seize any opportunity to make Serena’s life difficult.Feeling guilty for getting in the way of

"I'll make a guess," one of them sneered. "Serena's company, Serena Group, is big as it is because of the King of the North, right? Come on, Serena, how many times did you have to sleep with him to build the company? Share with us the secret."Their words grew more vicious as they were dripping with sarcasm and laughter.Serena could feel her anger bubbling to the surface as if she was almost ready to explode."You're all disgusting!" she snapped. "Do you know why everyone in my company respects me? It's because I work hard. When I'm staying late at the office, you're probably out partying. When I'm negotiating deals with clients, you're out shopping. That's the difference."My company may not be as big as some of yours, but I built it from the ground up. Unlike certain people here who are just living off their parents. Nothing more than pretty faces with nothing else to offer."Serena's sharp retort hit its mark as it showed the composure of someone used to leading a company. She

"I was wrong, I was really wrong!" Cleopatra knelt on the ground, frantically knocking her head on the floor in a desperate plea. She no longer cared about her company or status. All she wanted was for Xayne to spare her."You think your family's power and influence allow you to act with impunity? Today, I'll show you just how worthless the things you take pride in are in my eyes," Xayne said coldly, pulling out his phone and calling Ritchie to order a full investigation of Cleopatra's father's company."Please don't destroy my family! I'm begging you, I'll do anything!" Cleopatra cried as her tears flowed uncontrollably. In a last-ditch attempt, she blushed and lowered her head suggestively."Enough! I'm disgusted by your pathetic tricks," Xayne replied icily with a contemptuous tone.Cleopatra's face turned ashen as she knelt there, feeling deeply humiliated by Xayne's words. Moments later, her phone rang."Cleopatra, you're a disgrace! You've ruined the entire family business!

Xayne overheard Maple's words, nodded silently, and whispered, "Agree. Let's see what game he's trying to play."Serena grunted in acknowledgment and responded in a cold tone. "Alright.""Very good, Ms. Serena. You truly are a reasonable woman. Tonight, 8 P.M., at Golden Phoenix Hotel, in the Sky Suite," Maple said before hanging up.Afterward, he looked over at Lany, who was sitting on the couch and sipping tea. His face lit up with excitement. "Lany, they agreed! Tonight, I'll be counting on you. Cripple Xayne and I'll humiliate his wife right in front of him! Make him wish he was dead!"Lany frowned slightly, glancing at Maple before shaking his head in mild exasperation. "Maple, you're old enough now. You should learn to control yourself. The future of the Eastin family's most elite branch rests on your shoulders."Maple quickly adjusted his tone, speaking respectfully. "Lany, you know I can't rest until I get my revenge for this humiliation."Lany nodded. "Alright then. Toni
