Bars are known for their constant noise, especially at night during operating hours, but right now, the entire bar is eerily silent with everyone within staring blankly as though they were seeing the most disbelieving thing in history, particularly the ones who knew the reputation of the two Lion Kings. This silence lasted for a long time before eventually, the Lion King, whose leg was being held by Xavier returned to his senses and became deeply embarrassed which promptly changed to an incredible rage. “Bastard! Let go of my leg!” He snapped ferociously, trying to force away his leg from Xavier’s lazy grasp. Yet, for some reason, he wasn’t able to move it an inch—It was as though the leg was being held by the large hand of a deity and not the seemingly weak Xavier. “Are you deaf? I say let go of my leg!” He barked and Xavier instantly smiled slightly before nodding his head. “Sure,” he responded before continuing just as the Lion King was about to heave a sigh of relief. “I will just repay you with what you wanted to do to me.” “This!” Everyone gasped and saw something flash in their eyes before they could think, after which, a shrill scream that sounded as though someone was being butchered echoed. Subsequently, Xavier let go of his hand and the Lion King was sent ricocheting away halfway across the bar. “Ah!!!!!!” He wailed like someone whose skin was being torn away from his body, making everyone feel their hair standing at the end while wondering about what had just happened. They all turn into statues in an instant which lasts for a moment before the first Lion King forces himself to return to his senses. “Third—third brother! What’s with your cry?” He asked with fear before rushing toward his brother. “Aren’t you embarrassing yourself too much? Yelling this loudly and painfully merely because a tiny ant that could easily be squashed to death with my fingers hurled you away?” He complained with dissatisfaction before bending over to help his brother up. The following second, however, he paused slightly before his eyes widened significantly, after which a strong shill ran down his spine. “What-“ his mouth hung open as he subconsciously moved his hand toward his brother’s crotch area. “What’s—what’s blood doing here?” he inquired incredulously and then pressed down with his hand. “Rahhhhhhh!!!!” The second Lion King’s roar intensified as if he were experiencing the most excruciating pain imaginable, and soon after, he fainted. The bar became pin-drop silent after this until; “He wanted to castrate me, but I castrated him instead. That’s fair, no?” A calm and lazy voice inquired, making everyone shiver frantically with goosebumps crawling hysterically all over their skin, then they glanced at the speaker. “He—he crippled the lion king?” Someone swallowed hard and mumbled doubtfully. Just then, the first Lion King returned to his senses and he screamed. “How dare you castrate my brother?!” “I’m going to kill you!!!” His voice filled to the brim with killing intent scaring everyone in the bar out of their wits. “The Lion King is finally mad,” someone mumbled and ran toward the bar’s exit without hesitation, looking terrified to the core. “Probably all the eyewitnesses here tonight are done for!” Another person mumbled fearfully as he also ran for his li… Everyone, knowing how unreasonable the Lion Kings normally are quickly ran for their lives, and before long, only Xavier, the fainted Lion King, the first Lion King who had turned into a raging bull, the dumbstruck bartender, and a horrified Grace were left behind. “Die!!!!” The First Lion King roared with rage and closed in on Xavier, throwing his tightly clenched fist at his face with all the strength he could muster. Watching this scene, the hearts of the bartender and Grace trembled, knowing that there was no way Xavier would be able to dodge or survive the attack. Although they weren’t the ones receiving it, they felt the strong force originating from it and trying to destroy them, making the two ladies shut their eyes just as the attack was an inch away from hitting Xavier’s face, unable to handle the scene that would follow. They brace themselves, expecting a shrill scream, but then a deafening silence was what they heard, lasting for a long time until the ladies could no longer handle their confusion. ‘What happened?’ they thought and squinted open their eyes, wanting to sneak a peak at what had happened. What came into their view the next second made their eyes widen in stupefaction. “Am—am I dreaming?” The bartender mumbled to herself dumbly before quickly pinching her arm. Having worked in the bar for a few years, she had long learned about the strength of the two Lion Kings, able to face the attacks of five able-bodied men without breaking a sweat, yet… “You—you—you…” the Lion King, who had attacked Xavier with madness and hatred earlier finally returned to his senses and stuttered as he eventually experienced what his brother had gone through a moment ago and to say he was terrified right now was nothing but an understatement. He had never thought the seemingly weak Xavier who looked like someone he could pinch to death with his fingers would be able to stop his punch with just a single hand. He thought he was dreaming as he stared at Xavier casually holding his arm that was tightly bulging with his thick veins from exerting all his strength. “You—you—who… who are you?” He finally completed and Xavier, staring composedly at him sighed. “I didn’t want any trouble; I just wanted to prevent you from committing an immoral deed while enjoying my peace. Why did you and your brother have to push my hand?” he asked helplessly, leaving the Lion King and the bartender stunned. ‘You didn’t want trouble and yet you interfered in our business, even castrating my brother! What nonsense was that?!’ He yelled in his mind, almost sobbing, but dared not to speak out. “Plea—please forgive me, master. I—I was just too blind to see the elephant in the room! Please forgive me!” The bartender, “_” ‘Is this still the First of the two shameless and evil self-acclaimed Lion kings?’ She thought blankly before hurriedly glancing back at Xavier. Her heart began to pound frantically in her chest and she became filled with curiosity for him, meanwhile, Xavier, not realizing what he had caused to the bartender suddenly gazed seriously at the Lion King. Given how you and that fool behaved today and the things I learned, you two love getting ladies drunk so that you can have your ways with them, no?” “I—I… “ The Lion King became further terrified. If those who had run for their lives out of fear were to witness this scene, they would have been stunned to death, but since no one was there, they couldn’t have in their entire lives imagined what had transpired after they escaped. “I—tonight was our first time and I have never had the intention of forcing myself on anybody,” the lion king sobbed, regretting why he and his brother hadn't ignored or begged Xavier to mind his business earlier. “Please forgive me!” He pleaded desperately, wishing nothing but to escape right now. Xavier watched the horrified Lion King without reacting for a moment, while the two ladies stared at him, waiting to see what he would do. Eventually, he sighed deeply. “As I mentioned earlier, I only wanted to have some drink in peace.”

Chapter 682 – The Unraveled Mystery II
*****“They staged that entire story to cripple your spirits, to crush your will to fight. They wanted the Nightshadow Sect to bleed out slowly… first in body, then in soul. And most likely, they told that lie so that no one would bother looking for Grandpa Zev… much less consider rescuing him from the prison.”“This…”Ayra’s words caught in her throat like thorns.Her eyes widened as the cruel puzzle began to align, each piece more horrifying than the last. Slowly, realization crept across her face… and then came fury, full force.“How… how evil!” she choked, tears finally breaking free and clouding her vision.Her voice trembled, then cracked, until it became a guttural hiss of pain. “They were the Founding father’s best friends!” she exclaimed, her voice rising in disbelief and agony. “How could they betray him like that? How could they scheme so cruelly against their own brother-in-arms? How could they… be that heartless?”Her fists clenched un
Chapter 681 – The Unraveled Mystery I
*****Xavier met her gaze without blinking, then gave a solemn shake of his head. His face was still as stoic as a mountain in winter… so straight, it could’ve been carved from cold stone.And Ayra…It was like her entire consciousness had unplugged.Her spirit exited her body and stood beside her in disbelief. Her once-vivid eyes became glazed and hollow, like the spark had been vacuumed out of her.She looked like someone who had just been told her childhood idol was a scam artist.“How... How is that even possible?” she gasped, her voice trembling.But then, just as his words settled into the air, his brows drew together sharply. Something clicked.“Wait!” he suddenly exclaimed, jolting upright.Ayra yelped, her entire body twitching like she had been shocked by lightning.“Didn’t you say,” Xavier continued, “that the people who attacked your hidden world claimed they had poisoned Grandpa Zev? That he had… been killed?”Ayra
Chapter 680 – The Unraveled Mystery
*****“But… the Founding Father died twenty-four, maybe twenty-five years ago,” she finally blurted, her voice hoarse from shock. “How could you have possibly met him only five years ago?!”Xavier, who had up until now been deep in thought, digesting all of her revelations, blinked and came back to reality with a soft jolt.He gave a slow shake of his head and fixed her with a thoughtful stare. “Unless the Founding Father you’re referring to isn’t Zeverd, the annoyingly wise old man with a sense of humor drier than desert sand, then we’re definitely talking about the same person.”Ayra's head spun.She clutched it, feeling like she was about to scream into the void.“It… it must be him,” she muttered, her voice cracking. “There’s no way there could be such a coincidence. He had the same name… the same aura… and he possessed the sect’s leadership token. It’s him. It has to be sir Zev.”But her heart was thundering in her chest, and a strange, creeping dread began to fill her sou
Chapter 679 – The Talent Beyond the Monster’s Talent
*****For a brief, disoriented moment after hearing Xavier’s words, Mistress Ayra stood frozen, her mind blanking as though someone had smacked her with an invisible frying pan of disbelief.She just… stared.Her eyes were wide open, her mouth slightly ajar, and her brows twitched in confusion. Then, like a puppet coming slowly back to life, she blinked, lifted a trembling finger, and pointed at Xavier with all the grace of someone having an existential crisis.“You…” she sputtered, the words sticking to her tongue like peanut butter. “You only met the Founding Father… five years ago?”Xavier didn’t react for a second, then he gave a calm nod, oblivious to the mental meltdown currently going on before him.“Hmm. That’s right,” he said. “I met him about five years ago, and he took me in as his disciple about four and a half years ago. He’s the one who taught me everything I know.”That, right there… that was the fatal blow.The straw that didn’t just break the camel’s back but
Chapter 678 – The Nightshadow Sect’s Fall II
*****Ayra’s lips quivered for a moment, her eyes gleaming as though blinking back flames. She seemed to be recalling a scary nightmare, one she would do anything in her life not to remember again.“But then…” she continued, her voice small, heavy, and raspy. “Weeks turned into months, and months turned into years. But still, there was no word... nothing.”She heaved a deep sigh that seemed to scream many unspoken emotions.“Soon, the discomfort grew like a cancer. The elders of the sects searched in secret, doing everything to find the Founding Father, while putting on brave faces. They lied to themselves and us that all is well. Until it was too late…” Her voice cracked, and she clenched her fists so hard the veins stood out like tree roots under her skin.“Until that cursed morning,” she hissed. “That one morning that shattered every single thing, a day that I and the rest of the sect members shall never forget for the rest of our lives.”Xavier leaned slightly forward.“I w
Chapter 677 – The Nightshadow Sect’s Fall I
*****Xavier exhaled slowly after a moment, the weight in his chest lifting as understanding replaced resentment.Maybe the old man never had time to explain. Maybe… I never asked. He had taken the token back then without question, eager and hot-blooded.He hadn’t known the burden and hadn’t cared. Not until it was already around his neck.Xavier’s hand slowly released the chain, letting the pendant settle gently against his chest. Then a low sigh left his lips.Ayra was watching him the entire time… every flicker of thought and every twitch of emotion in his eyes. When he looked up at her again, she stood at attention, expression unreadable.“I understand now,” he said, his tone calm but resolute. “Grandpa Zev meant well. He built the token to protect the position… to protect the vision he believed in.”A beat of silence.Then Xavier’s lips curled into a mischievous smirk, and he tilted his head slightly.“But tell me something,” he said, his voice suddenly laced with dry sa
