“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.

Chapter 781 – Augustus’s Fear and Disbelief
*****“Sir Augustus,” he began haltingly, “I… I just remembered. The mission you entrusted to me two weeks ago… I haven’t completed it yet. I really must leave to see it done.”The man swallowed hard and tugged his wife up by the arm, signaling for his children sitting further back in the third section to follow.Without hesitating again, they hurried out quickly, almost tripping over themselves in their rush.That was all it took.The rest of the guests, as if fearing they might be caught in some deadly plague by staying a second longer, scrambled to their feet, panic replacing their hesitation.They shuffled, stumbled, and dragged their families out, all of them desperate to escape the hall before the situation exploded further.Not even the slightest trace of their previous loyalty showed again; instead, all of them were after their survival right now, no one wanting to be collateral when the imagined storm broke.One by one, they fled unti
Chapter 780 – Augustus’s Disbelief
*****“Looks like I also hadn’t come to terms with the huge gaps between us.”The words cut through Augustus’s rage like a hot blade cutting through butter, causing his fist to freeze mid-air, his momentum halting, and the killing intent around him faltering like a candle guttering in the wind.The F-rank fighter, who had already squeezed his children’s hands in what he thought might be his final moment, stood frozen, drenched in cold sweat.In the following second, every gaze turned once more… this time, toward the new voice.It belonged to an elderly E-rank fighter in the first section, his expression calm and almost bored, as he gestured casually to his kin.“We’re also leaving this farce before the situation, which was already dangerous, spirals into something none of us can salvage,” he said flatly, making no effort to lower his voice or soften his tone.For a moment after hearing this, Augustus just stood frozen, too staggered to respond.
Chapter 779 – Augustus’s Rage
*****(Bonus Chapter)For a moment that felt like an eternity, Augustus merely stared blankly at the F-rank fighter, disbelief flashing across his face.‘Did this insect just interrupt and defy me… again?’ This thought echoed in his mind.The F-rank fighter’s body was trembling all over under the weight of Augustus’s suffocating aura, and his face was pale, his knees nearly buckling.But even then, his eyes burned with pure defiance, his jaw locked tight.“Suffer your what?!” the man spat again, louder this time, his voice hoarse but firm.His disgust bled into every single word. “We’re all obviously staring down a crisis, something we should be planning together to fix, and yet you…” His eyes narrowed with pure rage. “You still think the world spins around you. You still dare to look down on Miss Ayra, even now? Looks to me like the Scoan family is indeed tired of living!”The man spat with rage, fuming frantically as though he was going to explode.Seeing him like this, nea
Chapter 778 – The Defiant F-rank Fighter II
*****Augustus suddenly froze after hearing the man’s words, his eyes widening in disbelief.For a second, he merely looked at the man as though he had grown another head, his mind struggling to process the insult that was just publicly hurled at him by an F-rank fighter… a mere F-rank fighter.Earlier, Augustus had convinced himself about why mere F-ranks and the unranked had dared to speak so brazenly before him.He had excused their outburst against him and his family as nothing more than the product of adrenaline, chaos, and fear.But now… the dust had settled, the fire had cooled, and order had been restored, yet an ordinary F-rank fighter still dares to defy him and speak so brazenly to him?It was unthinkable to him.He was Augustus Scoan, a new E-rank powerhouse and a being who could now wipe an F-rank from existence with the same ease as an F-rank swatting a fly.His name already commanded respect, and his very presence demanded submission… yet an insect had dared to
Chapter 777 – The Defiant F-rank Fighter
*****“There’s no use dawdling on mistakes. The only path forward is to make amends where they must be made.”Augustus calmly and casually folded his arms against his chest, regaining some of the air of authority he had lost.“I will go personally to the Myron family in the coming days and explain the misunderstanding directly. And besides, if memory serves me well, that lass Lyria is but a third-generation member of the Myrons… a child with no true authority. So who is she to command fear from us?”His arrogance returned in full force, appearing blatant and unrestrained, directly shattering the brief softness he had shown before.Witnessing this, all brows across the hall instantly furrowed, some in confusion, and others in disbelief at the audacity of dismissing what had clearly been a warning far greater than he wanted to admit.And before the crowd could fully process it, Augustus clapped his hands lightly, his expression already settling back into the mask of superiority he
Chapter 776 – Back In The Hall
*****Still inside the banquet hall.It had been over one hour since the Amodu family and Sarah were escorted out in disgrace, yet the silence within the vast room remained unchanged.No one spoke, no one reacted, and no one moved.Instead, the air in the hall remained heavy with the residue of humiliation and shock, the silence so absolute that it pressed down on every chest like a crushing weight.Everyone just remained standing where they had been from the start, staring quietly in a daze, the memory of everything that had happened in the past hour flashing in their brain… things so surreal that if they hadn’t witnessed them with their own eyes, they would have found it too difficult to believe.From the first section, where the lofty upper second-rank families had been seated, to the second section of the third-rank families, all the way down to the descendants and guests filling the third section of the hall, the effect was the same.Every man and woman stood in stunned si
