******

The atmosphere snapped into silence… so sharp, so sudden, it was as though time itself had recoiled.

Glenn’s voice, calm and almost bored, continued to echo faintly in the room like a vice.

“I’m someone versed enough to train you.”

No thunder cracked, no lights flickered. But the words hit harder than either.

What followed was a dead stillness… so thick it pressed against every eardrum

No one moved, not even a breath seemed to pass through the room. It was as though the world itself had gone mute in protest of the sheer audacity that had just been spoken aloud.

To everyone present… Trent, his family, Melissa, the extended relatives, and even the allegedly divine-level doctor, Master Zhen Yuan. All of them couldn’t help but find Glenn's words too incomprehensible, ludicrous, and even blasphemous.

This wasn’t just a case of biting the hand that heals. No, this was more like watching a stray mutt bark at a demigod and declare itself the trainer.

If even half of what Trent

  • Chapter 066 – I Think You’re Tired of Living

    ******Badly startled by the voice that had just echoed through the tense atmosphere like a gunshot in a funeral hall, everyone instinctively froze.Their actions, their thoughts… every fiber of their being halted in that exact moment, and as though pulled by an invisible string, all heads turned slowly toward the source.The voice had come from the restaurant’s grand entrance.And standing there, silent and composed, was a man no one recognized… yet no one could ignore.A middle-aged man, perhaps in his late fifties, with a tall, commanding frame and a presence that radiated refined gravitas.On the surface, he appeared simple… no garish jewelry or flashy designer brands, but if one looked closely, the elegance of his posture, the tailored subtlety of his suit, and the glint of practiced calm in his eyes spoke volumes louder than diamonds ever could.This was no ordinary man.This was someone used to power.Someone who didn’t need to raise his voice to command silence.Some

  • Chapter 065 – Wait

    ******While everyone in the restaurant was confused, the Manager… Stanley’s father, meanwhile, stood like a statue after hearing Bianca’s words, his hands clenched at his sides, his face an unsettling mixture of horror, disbelief, and rapidly boiling rage.He didn’t know the truth. He hadn’t witnessed any of the incident. And he had no reason to believe that this pitiful, sobbing young woman could fabricate such a monstrous lie.His eyes burned with fury. His breath grew shallow. His entire posture vibrated with indignation.How dare someone... anyone lay a hand on his son? He was the only heir to a legacy of iron, the sole successor to an empire of respect and honor.The Manager was not just the head of Velvet Dine, a prestigious establishment visited by senators, moguls, and royalty. He was a pillar in society. And this place… this restaurant he managed was a sanctuary, a place where order reigned and reputation mattered more than gold.And now this... vagrant, this beast, th

  • Chapter 064 – Bianca’s Abrupt Drama

    ******The diner beside the one who had muttered just now, saying that Glenn was finished, nodded his head slowly, unconsciously, his mouth still hanging open as though words had abandoned him entirely. Then, his voice low and hollow with disbelief, he mumbled, “Let’s see how long he feigns calm and unconcerned after this.”Even Bianca... so full of fury and venom moments ago, found herself momentarily stunned, frozen in place.She had never expected this. Of all times, of all places, today would be the day she would cross paths with the one person she had been dying to meet... her supposed future father-in-law. And not just casually, but right after the love of her life had been publicly brutalized.Her head swam with the weight of it.The clamor in the restaurant had quieted into a tense hush once more, every eye riveted on the sudden presence of the old man... the Manager, who radiated so much authority and barely contained rage that even the air seemed to stiffen around him.

  • Chapter 063 – He’s Finished

    ******While Stanley choked on a fresh mouthful of blood, his body convulsing slightly and his vision swimming in and out of focus, the rest of the room remained suspended in a haunting, paralyzed silence.A stunned stillness settled over everyone like a thick, invisible fog. No one moved. No one breathed. No one even blinked.They were frozen… captivated not by the violence they had witnessed, but by the words that still echoed through the air like a taunt from the underworld:“Can’t a pitiful man just order his food in peace again?...”The words repeated, over and over again in their minds, like an eerie melody stuck on loop. It was absurd. Surreal. Maddening.To the people in that restaurant, it sounded like a joke… a mockery of their collective sanity.Because if anyone in that room was pitiful, surely it wasn’t Glenn. Not the man who had hurled a over three-hundred-kilogram tower of flesh like a sack of garbage.Not the man whose expression hadn’t shifted even once since

  • Chapter 062 – Stanley Coughing Up Blood

    ******The captain’s face contorted in disbelief. He looked at the three men before him… his own team, who currently resembled nothing but strangers.These were the men who had once looked to him for direction. Now, they were rising against him. Mutinying.He opened his mouth once. Then closed it. Opened it again… still no words came.Then he sighed, shaking his head before finally, like something inside him cracked… he growled low and hard.“Apprehend him.”The word echoed across the restaurant like a gunshot.It wasn’t a suggestion. It was a command.Hearing this, the crowd didn’t cheer this time. No applause. No triumphant fist pumps. No celebratory chants.Just silence.A wary, hesitant silence.They remembered what had happened just minutes ago. They remembered Stanley’s airborne humiliation. And none of them wanted to be the next casualty of confidence.The guards, however, were moving now… slowly and carefully, but with intent. Their eyes were sharp, and their bodie

  • Chapter 061 – The Guard’s Response

    ******Bianca screamed with venom-laced fury, her voice slicing through the thick air like a blade.Her eyes had turned glacial, glinting with a savage, burning hostility that could have set fire to stone. Every line of her face twisted with outrage, her lips curled into a snarl that trembled with raw indignation. Her chest heaved as though she might combust at any second.She didn’t so much as glance at Stanley… her man, her supposed protector, and the love of her life, who was now lying in a pitiful, unmoving heap. He might as well have been a broken chair for all the concern Bianca showed.Her rage wasn’t for him. It was never about concern or love, not even loyalty.It was all about Glenn. About how he had dared to embarrass her, and about him not being crushed beneath her narrative. It was that audacity that burned and infuriated her to the very core.There were no tears in her eyes... none. Not a shred of sorrow and no regret. Just cold-blooded wrath, vicious, and poison.
