“Hehehehe. Do you know, I learned from a very trusted source last night that a powerful, erudite, and prominent Grandmaster is coming to our city today.”

“Huh? 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 discussing the same topic: the arrival of an Erudite, powerful, and distinguished Grandmaster, a god of war, and a highly esteemed figure, as they call it, coming to the city.

The more Xavier heard the crowd’s gossip, the more astounded he became before he eventually did not know whether to laugh or cry.

“Didn’t I warn those guys that I just wanted to live a low-key life?” he wondered speechlessly before sighing helplessly as he imagined how his seemingly low key life would have been ruined even before it began if he had let himself be dropped off at the airport.

Xavier instantly felt a cold shiver run down his spine as the image of himself being knelt to by all the various leaders of the city crossed his mind. He swallowed hard and quickly shook his head.

“Fortunately for me, I’m smart enough to change the route,” he mumbled as he swallowed hard, and with that, decided to stop sightseeing the city that had changed so much in the past five years, almost appearing strange to him.

“Time to go see my woman,” he abruptly muttered and his eyes brightened so much in the following second before his breathing quickened with pure joy.

“Five years isn’t easy at all!” he sighed heavily with a nostalgic tone, momentarily losing his composure—something he had rarely done in the past five years.

Unable to wait any longer, Xavier hailed a taxi and got in. A little over thirty minutes later, he arrived at his destination and got out, then looking at the house that had barely changed in the past five years, his eyes grew bloodshot.

This was the house he had bought for himself and his fiancée five years ago, which they would move into after their marriage.

Xavier clenched his fists once again, adding all strength and causing them to crackle hard.

Five years ago, he was just an ordinary young man from a humble family who managed to labor hard and work his way into a middle-class financial position.

Although not big, he managed to start his own company and buy a house on a mortgage, while also owning a small car.

That was almost all of Xavier’s dreams back then and just as he was about to achieve the last, by marrying the woman of his dreams, everything was changed by an unforeseen incident that led him to jail.

Recalling all this, Xavier failed to handle the drop of tears that fell from his eyes.

He sighed heavily, then with his eyes having turned red from his contrasting emotions, pushed open the door he had yearned to walk through for the past five and walked into the villa.

It was still pretty much the same except for some little changes here and there.

Xavier’s heart couldn’t help but melt at this, at how his fiancée was still taking care of the villa and making sure he would meet it as he had left it.

‘It shows that she still loves and cares about me,’ he thought and the massive love he initially felt for Jennifer increased by several folds.

Perhaps all the powerful jade beauties, numbering in the hundreds, who had always envied the woman who had captured Xavier’s heart, would immediately commit suicide if they were to know that such a simple thing as taking care of a house would deeply touch the godly entity’s heart and cause his love to grow exponentially.

Unaware of this, Xavier, unable to contain his anticipation to see the face he had been longing for and imagining days and nights for the past five years, quickened his pace and began searching for his wife, eager to surprise her with his return.

“Could she be in our room?” he mumbled to himself after failing to find Jennifer anywhere else in the small villa and once Xavier muttered this, he wasted no time and quickly made his way to the master bedroom.

As he reached the door, his heart began to pound wildly with nervousness.

Right now, he was no longer the scary entity known as Master Xavier. Instead, he was just a weak young man who was going to die from nervousness and goosebumps.

Many imaginations quickly surge through Xavier’s head in the span of seconds before finally, he pushed open the door that felt heavy.

“Surprise!!!” he announced loudly, his voice filled to the brim with unhidden joy, but in the following second, his voice hung and his face became stiff.

Right on the massive bed before him, the matrimonial bed he had bought five years ago to be used by himself and his fiancée after they got married, two naked bodies were tightly entangled with each other, and they both seemed to be having their climax.

Xavier’s heart and body froze in an instant.

He couldn’t react nor do anything, feeling as though he were dreaming, and following this, his eyes widened in shock, and his jaw nearly dropped to the ground from disbelief.

    *****At this point, the old man wasn’t treating Xavier like a grandmaster anymore, no.He was now treating him like a walking deity that just happened to be riding in the passenger seat of his car.As for the Prime Minister… he only allowed himself a tiny, trembling sigh of relief after confirming that Xavier wasn’t upset. Then he forced himself to face the road again.But his mind… it looked nothing like calm.Right now, his insides were in turmoil and pure chaos... his frantic thoughts crashing into each other and shouting like they were all scrambling to survive.And the more he tried to calm himself, the stronger the mental commotion grew.Was it Xavier’s strength? Absolutely yes.In fact, that alone was enough to turn any sane person into a paralyzed mess.He kept replaying Xavier’s casual statements in his head… how the young man had trivialized a battle that had practically traumatized the entire city.Riverton’s citizens were still whispering about it in fear, proba

  • Chapter 976 – The Prime Minister’s Envy

    *****The moment the Prime Minister heard and processed Xavier’s words, his brain detonated into metaphorical confetti, his body stiffened, and his eyes constricted so sharply that they almost disappeared.“Un…” the old man croaked. “Under your… your protection?”In response, Xavier only gave a small, simple nod of his head.But… that nearly made the old man faint right there in the car.Being under the protection of someone like Xavier wasn’t just an advantage… it was practically divine shielding.It was like being handed a cheat code to life, immortality, and political supremacy all at once.His heart leaped again as a thought slammed into him with a crazed intensity.'The mere second-rank Myron family… has instantly become the family in the city.'He didn’t know whether to cackle or wail.On one hand, he felt a soul-deep envy twist his insides.Why wouldn’t he?Anyone under the Erudite Grandmaster’s protection wasn’t merely untouchable… they were practically mythic.Th

  • Chapter 975 – The Family is Under My Protection

    *****The elderly Prime Minister slowly turned to Xavier with stiff joints and a trembling jaw. “I… I didn’t mean to scold you, grandmaster,” he blurted out, his voice cracking as he turned pale.He wanted to cry deeply, recalling how confidently and how stupidly he had complained to Xavier about the two A-rank fighters.He had reported them like a diligent employee running to HR to tattle, completely oblivious to the fact that Xavier himself was one of those apocalyptic beings.At this point, he wanted to roll down the window and bash his forehead on the highway railings.Fortunately, Xavier only rolled his eyes.“You didn’t scold me,” he said lazily, stretching with the kind of casual ease only a walking natural disaster could have. “And honestly, if you had, I would’ve deserved it.”“This…”The old man nearly combusted on the spot. ‘Deserve it?’‘DESERVE IT?!’What sane human would dare to chastise someone who could turn them into a fine mist? Certainly not him… and certa

  • Chapter 974 – Fake Ranks and Genuine Ranks II

    *****As the second drawback of practicing the Genuine Branch of cultivation…Even if you had the perfect physique, could endure the pain, and managed to cultivate properly… stepping into the next rank was a nightmare.A genuine ranker might spend their entire lifetime trapped at one rank… unable to advance but still strong enough to wipe out the next two fake ranks above them.And to find a genuine A-rank fighter… it was insane, rare, and incredibly monstrous.And that… was why the Prime Minister had never considered Xavier an A-rank fighter, because if he, a genuine ranker, truly reached A-rank…Wouldn’t that make him a one-man extinction-level event, a walking catastrophe, and a force of nature that had no opponent on the planet?Even among fake cultivators, reaching A-rank was nearly impossible. Only one in ten thousand fighters ever achieved it.But a genuine A-rank? It was very rare, legendary, and the kind of thing ancient sects recorded in trembling handwriting because

  • Chapter 973 – Fake Ranks and Genuine Ranks

    *****Actually, the Prime Minister already knew that Xavier was powerful… terrifyingly powerful, in fact. After all, reaching the realm of an erudite grandmaster wasn’t something one achieved by merely reading books until dawn, having oceans of knowledge about the world, or sipping tea with condescending elegance.No. To become an erudite grandmaster, one needed the kind of strength that could send mountains into therapy.But the problem was… he had never truly considered Xavier’s level.Not once had the thought crossed his mind that the Grandmaster he treated with such great reverence and respect could possibly have anything to do with the two A-rank fighters who nearly tore the heavens apart three days ago.If he had even suspected such a thing, he wouldn’t have been merely “concerned.” No, he would have been hysterically polishing Xavier’s shoes, offering up his political enemies as tribute, and possibly naming a holiday, places, and buildings after him.And now… with Xavier’

  • Chapter 972 – A Shocking Realization

    *****“Sir…” the Prime Minister began, his voice trembling nervously, “Sir Grandmaster…”Seeing him like this, Xavier’s entire demeanor sharpened, suddenly alert. 'What happened? Did something serious occur?'But then…“In case you were in the city three days ago, I would like to apologize,” the Prime Minister blurted out, his tone full of shame. “For failing to keep the city thoroughly protected… and allowing two A-rank fighters to turn everything upside down.”Xavier, “_”He blinked, momentarily taken aback.“What,” he asked slowly, staring at the man as though he had just confessed to burning down the continent, “are you talking about?”The old man hesitated again… apparently, his new hobby, and scratched his head awkwardly. “I mean the night three days ago… when it felt like the world was ending.”He sighed heavily, as though reliving the trauma.“Actually, the rest of the city thought a natural disaster had tried to occur that night. But…” He lowered his voice dramatica
