*****

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 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
