*****

The entire bar fell silent, with everyone staring blankly at the lean person holding a hand that was twice the size of his own.

No one could react for a moment, but eventually, the eyes of the Lion King, whose hand Xavier was holding, darkened with wrath.

“Brat! Weren’t you the one I warned earlier to mind your business?” He snapped, his voice brimming with unhidden killing intent.

Xavier, however, wasn’t bothered. Instead, continued maintaining his composed demeanor.

“This lady here does not want to follow you, why are you forcing her?” He inquired calmly making everyone instant exchange stunned gazes.

“This—this fool!” The bartender, whose gaze hadn’t left Xavier since the beginning scoffed with frustration and then hurriedly left what she was doing to rush over.

“Lion King, hahahah. Please don’t mind this friend of mine. He appears to be too drunk to know what he was doing,” she stated with a smile, tearing Xavier’s hand away from the lion king.

The Lion King quickly cast a glance at the bartender and growled but then hesitated before snorting.

“I will let him go on your account then,” he said unhappily before sparing Xavier a dangerous glare and then ignoring him, casting his unhidden hungry-filled gaze back at the terrified beauty.

“You’ve caused enough scene here already, let’s get going now,” he said darkly and threateningly before looking at his brother.

“Let’s pick her up,” he said and the first lion king nodded his head, scaring Grace to the core.

Although she was completely drunk and her mind was no longer functioning properly, she instinctively shrank back when she realized what the two were planning, her heart pounding fiercely with fear.

Grace had heard many times from news about something like this happening, but she had never expected to encounter it the first time she decided to run away from her comfort zone and drown in her sorrow.

She looked around for help but saw none. Instead, a few people watched her with pity, while the majority laughed, cheered on the Lion King, and praised the spectacle as a display of beauty.

Just as Grace thought she was doomed, however, the composed voice she had heard earlier, which she thought was that of a savior sounded again.

“Did I tell you that you can go with her?”

The entire bar became eerie silent again, but it was soon broken and before long hushed voices filled the entire bar.

“Is this guy a fool or what?”

“Instead of being grateful for the Lion King’s forgiveness, he still chose to push your luck?”

“Given his weak physique, wasn't he even supposed to keep a low profile instead of provoking people who could end his with a single snap!”

Everyone mumbled and even the bartender, who had earlier pleaded on behalf of Xavier was stunned for a while before she sighed helplessly.

She looked back to the Lion King and wanted to beg them again, but before she could open her mouth, they had already addressed her.

“I listened to you earlier because of my respect and appreciation, but please, don’t try your luck too much,” they said in unison, their voices laced with an unmistakable menace.

The Bartender immediately sighed upon hearing them and then looked at Xavier helplessly.

Eventually, she shook her head and glanced back at the Two Lion Kings. “Please, for my sake, don’t give him a life-threatening injury.”

“That, we can do,” the two responded and looked back coldly at Xavier.

“Since you hate minding your goddamned business so much, get your ass over here and move this b!tch to our room for us!”

The second King, whose hand Xavier had earlier held growled and the bar became silent again with everyone staring at Xavier, wondering what he would do.

Contrary to their thoughts, however, Xavier, who had been calm all along did nothing.

He just continued standing and watching lazily, acting as though he didn't feel the alarming intent closing in on him.

“Bastard! Are you deaf?!” The voice of the second Lion King boomed, sending the hearts of the hearers banging against their chests, but still, Xavier did not react.

This finally infuriated the two Lion Kings to the extent that they felt like killing someone.

“Please forgive me,” the second Lion King said coldly to the bartender, then not waiting for a response stormed toward Xavier.

“What I hate the most is people interfering in my affairs, offending me, and disrespecting my order. For daring to do all those, I’m going to castrate you,” he said coldly, then not waiting for any reaction, delivered a powerful kick to Xavier’s crotch.

As soon as everyone saw this, their hearts skipped a beat, following which, their entire body went cold. They sighed deeply, suddenly feeling strong pity for Xavier.

“He could have minded your business but unfortunately chose not to..”

“This made me recall the last person who offended the Two Lion Kings. Hadn't he become a past today, yet, another little guy will join.”

“What a stupid hero. Wouldn’t he live the rest of your life in pain and regret now, knowing he could have easily refused to help the needy,” the crowd sighed one after the other.

Even Grace couldn’t help but be scared to death, watching what was going to happen.

She opened her mouth, wanting to plead for mercy for Xavier, knowing she would never forgive herself if Xavier ended up getting hurt because of her.

“Plea-“ she began to cry out when without any warning, her jaw dropped and her eyes constricted sharply.

It wasn’t only hers, but literally everyone in the bar.

If Xavier was like a thin pole, the Lion King attacking him would be a small mountain—muscular and imposing. Yet, at this moment, Xavier was casually holding his leg in his hand.

That’s right and just then, a calm and composed voice filled with disbelief sounded.

“You will castrate me just because I don’t want you to commit a wicked deed?”

  • Chapter 1302 – The Crowd’s Realization

    *****It took a moment that felt like an eternity before anyone came back to their senses, and when they finally did, a wave of deep relief washed over many of the crowd.‘The person they’re after isn’t among us.’Their shoulders nearly sagged as the tension eased, all of them immensely grateful they wouldn’t be caught in the crossfire as collateral damage.However, for those who had actually been present earlier, relief never came.Instead, they just stared, dumbfounded.Their eyes remained glued on the blank screen as though waiting for the rest of reality to return.But nothing else played, and to this, realization only began to dawn on them after about two minutes.And with that, their hearts skipped in their chests.‘That… wasn’t what happened.’ Their minds screamed in unison.Instantly, staff members and witnesses who had been present during Xavier’s visit exchanged subtle glances, then, like a lightning strike tearing through collective consciousness, the truth hit th

  • Chapter 1301 – The CCTV’s Footage

    *****Several people’s hearts skipped in their chests, and immediately, their minds jumped back to the earlier moment when Xavier had complained about nearly being drowned in cup after cup of coffee.That bizarrely humorous moment had been so memorable that several people had already planned to recount it later when they returned home.But now…As soon as these people recognized Xavier, they instinctively turned, glancing back at the Revercrests, and… they saw the terrifying expressions on their faces.The hatred, the killing intent, and the cold, unsettling glint in their eyes.Instantly, they understood.‘He really is the wanted one.’And in that moment, two completely opposite emotions struck them simultaneously.On one side, the crowd felt immense relief… so powerful it nearly left some lightheaded.Their hearts, which had been pounding frantically in terror, finally began to slow as the realization settled heavily into their minds that this horrifying situation had noth

  • Chapter 1300 – ‘I Know Him!’

    *****The image of Silas in the manager’s mind instantly grew even larger, his respect for him intensifying even further.At this point, he felt nothing but overwhelming relief.‘Fortunately…’ He nearly wept inwardly."Fortunately, I didn’t try to improvise on the instruction. I carried everything out exactly as Brother Silas planned.’The sheer correctness of that decision struck him powerfully now.Because after witnessing the reactions of the three Revercrests, the manager understood one horrifying truth… any mistake, unnecessary deviation, or sign of bias toward one side would have already turned him into collateral damage.Just then, Silas’s warning echoed loudly in his mind.‘Whatever you do, make sure you treat the three sides equally. Even the slightest sign of bias toward one side would be disastrous.’That instruction had become his lifeline, which was exactly why he hadn’t accepted any of the hand-drawn portraits earlier, knowing well that he wouldn’t be able to accept all

  • Chapter 1299 – The Manager’s Contrasting Emotions

    *****At this instant, the crowd’s thoughts spiraled wildly, chaotic paranoia consuming them.Yet, beyond the violent pounding of their hearts and fear… another emotion boils within them right now.Anger.Because from the crowd’s perspective, the manager had just committed the ultimate betrayal.‘He actually dares to provide CCTV footage to these psychopathic demons in human form? What happened to consumer rights?’‘Isn’t he supposed to protect us with everything he has?’‘What kind of garbage dealership is this?!’At this point, many customers, staff members, and bystanders felt their terror mixing aggressively with outrage.Their fear remained, but now it was laced with cold resentment sharp enough to leave scars.‘If I somehow survive this… I’m never patronizing this shitty dealership again.’Several people silently swore, fear, paranoia, and desperation churning violently inside their trembling souls.…Meanwhile, as the crowd remained trapped in a chaotic mix of shoc

  • Chapter 1298 – The Manager’s Offer

    *****“I… I apologize, sirs. I’m not very good at catching things.”The manager’s voice trembled perfectly, his fear appearing authentic.But before any of the three could further process his blunder, he hurriedly continued.“Moreover… even if I see the person in the picture, I might not necessarily recognize them, after all, I rarely attend to customers directly.”Hearing him, the three men narrowed their eyes, their murderous intent brewing visibly now… thick and suffocating.They didn’t even bother hiding it in the slightest, leaving the poor manager to nearly collapse under the pressure.Without even realizing it, cold sweat had already soaked his back, his legs trembling so fiercely that it was a miracle they remained functional.Yet outwardly, he maintained his nervous act.“How about…” he quickly pressed on, desperate to avoid letting the situation spiral into his untimely death, “I provide the CCTV footage instead?”Silence.“This…”The killing intent that had been

  • Chapter 1297 – “I’m Not Very Good at Catching Things”

    *****Silas’ earlier instructions flashed vividly through his memory.At the time, Silas had explained that his father and siblings were now in direct competition, no longer restrained by family loyalty.Back then, the manager had barely understood the words, but now…He understood the madness.‘Wow…’ His internal disbelief was almost comical.‘What in heaven’s name could reduce a family to this level of insanity?’He nearly asked, but, seeing their faces, he wisely chose survival over curiosity.Internally, he sighed.Outwardly, however, he maintained the perfect image of a terrified subordinate desperately trying not to die.“I… Sir Patriarch… Young Masters…” he began nervously, his voice trembling with masterful precision. “This small person has… has no idea who exactly you are searching for.”He swallowed hard, his Adam’s apple bobbing like it, too, was trying to escape.“P-Please… if you could provide more details… I… I can assist you more effectively.”The moment th
