*****

“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 1422 – A Reality-Shattering Moment

    *****At this moment, every single person on the street looked as though they had been forced to swallow a live cockroach whole.Their faces became so distorted that, under different circumstances, the scene might have actually been humorous.But now…‘B rank?’ The thought repeated endlessly within everyone’s heads, and the more it did, the more thunderstruck they became.After all, that was the highest level in the entire Riverton city. And even at that… less than a handful of people in the city had fully reached it.It was a realm that more than 90% of ranked fighters would never touch in their lifetime… the level of true powerhouses amongst powerhouses.In fact, currently, in the entire street, only the Revercrest Patriarch had reached that rank.Yet now... another one had appeared.No.He had been standing before them all along. They had just failed to recognize him.The realization made every heart pound violently in their chests, questions flooding their minds one after another.

  • Chapter 1421 – Unanticipated Situation

    *****An unexpected wave of energy exploded outward, the eruption coming completely out of nowhere.At first, it felt incredibly weak… so weak that even several injured mercenaries frowned.“So weak...” one of them began.But before he or anyone else could finish this thought… their expressions changed violently.‘This... this aura is intensifying.’ The thought echoed through countless minds simultaneously, spreading faster than wildfire.But by then, the aura had already moved beyond being merely weak.What had started as something so insignificant that people had nearly mocked it had now risen to the unmistakable level of a C-rank fighter.Instantly, every gaze snapped toward the direction of the corpse puppets, the battlefield seeming to freeze despite the murderous machines’ attacks still descending.‘He is… he is really a C-rank fighter?’ the mercenaries, soldiers, Borgia, the Third Brother, and even the right-hand man thought dazedly, the realization striking them harder than an

  • Chapter 1420 – Xavier’s Response

    *****For a brief moment, the entire street fell strangely silent, appearing as though the very air had stopped moving.Every single person paused, none of them reacting. Then suddenly...“So...” the old man began, his voice abruptly turning playful.The murderous pressure surrounding him didn't lessen, yet somehow his tone became almost amused.“You are one of those foolish idiots who believe themselves to be saviors of humanity?” he asked before chuckling.The laugh wasn't loud, but it carried enough ridicule to make one's skin crawl. “How amusing.”He didn't even wait for Xavier to answer.Instead, he waved a dismissive hand and scoffed openly.“See, in a dog-eat-dog world like this, there is no such thing as offenses against humanity, justice, righteousness, or any of that nonsense.” His eyes narrowed. “Strength is all that matters.”The words rang clearly throughout the street.Hearing it, some of the mercenaries lowered their heads, while several soldiers remained silent.As muc

  • Chapter 1419 - “A Family Like Yours Doesn't Deserve To Exist Anymore”

    *****Meanwhile, Xavier, still exactly where he had been from the start, watched as the corpse puppets drew closer to him one step after another.Yet throughout the entire process, his expression remained calm, as though the murderous beings rushing toward him weren't a threat at all.He just observed them for a few moments, then just as the puppets were on the verge of reaching him, Xavier finally moved.He didn’t dodge or attack.Instead, he slowly turned his head, his gaze settling upon the patriarch standing behind the advancing corpse puppets.The old man currently wore an eerie, dark smile filled with certainty and that of someone who believed everything had fallen back under his control.Then Xavier spoke.“Do you know...” he began lazily, his sudden voice startling everyone.“I wasn't lying earlier when I said I was already planning to look for you myself and put you in your place,” he continued casually.The patriarch's smile instantly turned sarcastic.“Oh?”He responded cal

  • Chapter 1418 - “Why Do I Feel Like He Isn't About to Be Taken Down?”

    *****Despite all the two brothers’ initial expectations, Xavier remained exactly as he had been from the very beginning.His posture hadn't changed.His hands remained casually buried inside his pockets, his shoulders remained relaxed, his breathing remained steady, and his expression remained indifferent.It was almost as though the terrifying scene unfolding before him had absolutely nothing to do with him. As though he were merely a passerby observing someone else's problem.The only difference was a faint trace of coldness hidden within his eyes as he watched the corpse puppets approach.And even that was subtle enough that one had to stare carefully to notice it.It was...“Why do I feel like he isn't about to be taken down?” The Third Brother suddenly muttered, the words escaping before he could stop them.The moment he spoke, however, Borgia rolled his eyes, a smirk appearing on his face.“Still stuck in denial, I see,” he mocked, his voice dripping with sarcasm and amusement.

  • Chapter 1417 - The Two Brothers’ Disbelief

    *****At this moment, an overwhelming murderous aura blanketed the entire street, suffocating the surroundings so thoroughly that even breathing seemed difficult.A strange pressure pressed down on everyone's shoulders, making their hearts pound violently against their ribs.Nobody dared speak too loudly or move carelessly. Even the sounds of the distant city seemed to have vanished.If anything, the entire gathering of onlookers could only watch as the corpse puppets surged toward Xavier.Unlike the mercenaries and private soldiers from earlier, these machines in human form wasted absolutely no time.There was no hesitation, testing, or caution. Instead, the instant the order was given, they moved.Their speed was terrifying, their coordination flawless, and their murderous intent so dense that it made one's scalp tingle.Watching them in full motion, the hearts of the remaining private soldiers and mercenaries nearly climbed into their throats.‘So... so scary...’Some swallowed har
