By the time the police arrived, Barth had already been battered until nearly all his teeth were knocked out, and most of the bones in his body were fractured.

Although he was well aware of the fate that awaited him after his arrest—that he would likely spend the next chunk of his years in prison—Barth wasn’t afraid at all of the cop's arrival. Instead, he became excited and relieved, treating the officers like his rescuers.

“Hurry up and arrest me, please!” he sobbed desperately, seeing the furious and hostile glares of the mob directed at him, looking as though they couldn't wait to pounce and continue hitting him.

The officers were speechless at his reaction, but they still went ahead and detained the enormous figure who was now drenched in his own blood.

Since Barth was too large, he occupied the entire back seat of one car, while Cornelius, who tried resisting arrest and didn’t want to be captured, was forcefully locked in the rear of another vehicle.

Cassandra, who had been trying her best to suppress her rage since Xavier’s earlier arrogant utterance finally snarled with anger.She had initially decided to ignore and forget about him for the sake of his father, but now... She was filled to the brim with wrath, trembling slightly and grinding her teeth together with loathing and fury as she continued to recall Xavier’s face and egotisms.Meanwhile, seated next to Cassandra in the car, the Patriarch of the Blackwood family, sensing his granddaughter's rage couldn't help but smile faintly."Why are you mad though?" he asked ignorantly, and Cassandra instantly grounded her teeth against each other.“It was that douchebag’s arrogance and shameless behavior! He makes me sick." She forced out."How dare he threaten to make my Blackwood family lose everything?!”“Who does he think he is?!"

    *****While Xavier and his family of three were bounding together again after five years, a beautiful middle-aged woman in the living room of a villa was sharply scolding her husband without holding back."How is this fair, huh, tell me! How?!" she cried out pitifully.“Why is your family always determined to sacrifice our daughter’s life and happiness for their so-called greater good?""What is our crime anyway?” Her chest heaved and her eyes were filled with tears.“Why are they always so eager to use our only child as a pawn to secure a stronger alliance every time?!""That's not even it. Out of all the honorable men in this world, why that demon who is notorious for ruining women's lives?!" she yelled even more at the top of her lungs, her eyes turning bloodshot..“I…” Feeling his wife’s anguish, helplessness, unwillingness, and despair, Williams’ lips quivered.He wanted to say something, but Susan interrupted again, glaring fiercely at him.

    *****“What’s going on?” Williams and Susan exchanged a perplexed gaze upon seeing Grace’s frantic demeanor.“Hope there is no problem?” Susan eventually inquired and just then, a relieved expression washed over Grace.“Yes, this is Grace,” she said composedly into the cell phone, acting as though she wasn’t the panicky one of a moment ago.Anyone hearing only her voice without seeing her right now might think she was composed and untroubled, but a single glance at her heaving chest would reveal it was merely a façade.The husband and wife duo who were intently studying her couldn’t help but exchange glances at this, after which they smiled wryly.‘Do we even ever truly know when our daughter is genuinely happy or upset?’ they thought in unison.Meanwhile, Grace, unaware of the thought going through her parents’ minds suddenly gasped, momentarily losing her composure to whatever the caller said.“You—you are available now?” She asked dumbly, truly surprised as she had just mad

    *****Xavier’s eyes instantly rose upon hearing this remark while the inside of the huge, magnificent, and well-lit hall turned dead silent in an instant.Several things could cause discrimination in Riverton City and among them is being an ex-convict, a label akin to a blot on something already filthy to the citizens.Whether they were eating, conversing, walking, or drinking, everyone slowly turned their heads, glancing at the speaker—an averagely beautiful lady, who currently had her fingers interlaced with that of a short guy in an Armani suit as she stood, gaping in a particular direction with unmistakable disdain and loathing.“Bi—big sister, what—what did you just say?” A young boy of about four years old, who had just been boasting to his parents about how everyone in his class except himself was frightened when their teacher told them stories of how scary prisoners are, stammered in fear.Jennifer glanced at the boy before looking at everyone else and the instant she saw

    *****The moment Xavier heard the pot-bellied manager’s order, his eyes lifted, and a faint, playful, cold grin spread across his lips.He initially wasn’t mad at all despite the crowd’s unreasonable hatred as he had already anticipated reactions like that before he left prison while for Jennifer, he was just more disappointed in himself for having been blind, but now…Watching the security guards approaching him to throw him out as ordered, he decided to act—when suddenly the elegant female manager, who hadn’t said much since her arrival stepped forward and blocked their path.Being the most beloved of all the restaurant workers, the security guards immediately stopped without hesitation. They even took a step back, and with that, Janet acknowledged them with a gentle nod before addressing the perplexed customers who were staring at her and murmuring.“Although I don’t know the reason behind your displeasure, I apologize,” she began, prompting the crowd to quiet down, after whic

    *****“This…” Everyone gaped dumbly at Janet, acting as though they hadn’t heard what she just said right.Even Xavier was struck dumb.Although the Amodu family is the same as trash to the current him, he had thought the female manager would have been tempted to get its favor, given its authority as a third-ranked family, but yet…A look of interest abruptly appeared on his face while the pot-bellied manager shook, his stomach trembling from rage.Despite already knowing Janet’s uncaring attitude right from the onset, even he had never expected her to disregard such a free pie from heaven just like that.His breathing became labored as he glared ferociously at her. “What the heck do you think you are doing?” He growled beneath his voice, trembling all over.“You could have at least used this to give me a face if you don’t need any favor!” He added angrily, but Janet, acting as though she couldn’t feel he was about to burst from rage ignored him, her composed and elegant smile

    *****For a moment, nobody could react, staring dazedly as though time and space had stopped for them.This stillness lingered for a moment before suddenly; “Hahahaha!”Jennifer, who had also been taken aback and thunderstruck by Xavier’s unexpected response erupted with laughter, giggling so hard as though she had just heard the most amusing joke in the universe.“I knew it!” She shrieked loudly, staring at Xavier as though he was one kind of an interesting thing, after which she cast a mockery glance at Janet.“Look who you were defending. Someone who only came to dine and dash. Hahaha!” She jeered.“We warned you he was nothing but a common prisoner who doesn’t belong among normal human beings, but you insisted on defending him. What are you going to do now that you have realized his true nature?” she added further, asking a question that made Janet's face flush slightly with embarrassment.This was the most humiliating thing she had ever felt in her life, and it only grew w

How dare he defy an explicit order?He had been on the brink of commanding his guards to seize Vidor, ready to deliver punishment with an iron hand.But before a single word could even leave his lips, Vidor had suddenly been flung away like a broken puppet, crashing through several reinforced walls.He had rocketed through the air with such speed and force that blood erupted from his mouth before he finally h

    *****The silence that followed Vidor’s confession was utterly different.It wasn’t from a stunned awe. Instead, it was from a horror, everyone was unable to believe their ears.Even the most cold-hearted within the store… Master Tush felt a strong chill settle deep in his bones, his jaw dropping to the ground.Everyone stared at Vidor in a daze. Not as a man, but as something monstrous… something unhinged.No one made even the slightest trace of sound. It wasn't because they chose silence, but because none of them seemed to notice it at all.And this lasted for what felt like an eternity before finally…“You… you murdered Little Lola’s mother?” A fragile, trembling voice pierced through the silence, the words soaked in disbelief and thick with sorrow.Vidor slowly turned his head, and upon seeing the speaker, an aggressive look appeared on his face.“Yes!” he bellowed, his voice suddenly booming with twisted pride. “I gave her a slow, silent poison. After all, what use was s

    *****“…can any of you even fathom it?!”Vidor’s gaze dimmed, the once-raging fire in his eyes momentarily flickering out as his voice dropped to a ghostly murmur. It was almost as if he were speaking to the ghosts of his past rather than the crowd before him.He gazed into the void with complete emptiness in his eyes, looking as though a painful memory had resurfaced and bound his soul to its torment.Anyone with even a trace of empathy could sense the sheer torment rippling through him. This wasn't mere regret… it was anguish that it cut deeply into him like a sharpened blade.“I… I was devastated,” he rasped, his voice fracturing like glass under pressure. “That day… I nearly collapsed. I genuinely thought the earth had crumbled beneath my feet.His body swayed, gripped by the phantom tremors of that day.“She was the most enchanting woman in our entire village,” Vidor continued, a twisted smile crawling up his face. “I loved her more than my own life, and I would have bled

    *****[ Previously promised chapter. ]…..Xavier wasn’t the only one staggered beyond comprehension after hearing Vidor’s vicious and venomous response to his question.Every single soul present stood motionless, paralyzed by disbelief.It was as if thunder had struck and left their minds smoldering as Vidor’s words reverberated like the echo of a gunshot, searing through the air with ruthless clarity.The one most shaken… utterly demolished was none other than Little Lola.Though still a child in form, she possessed a mind far more developed than her peers, a maturity shaped not by love or nurture, but by the cruelty life had beaten into her. Her heart had been battered countless times, but never had it shattered so violently before.She gazed at Vidor—her so-called father in a daze, forgetting her earlier terror and apprehension. The man had terrorized her days, robbed her of food, snatched away every coin she ever had, hurled her out into the streets like worthless trash,

    *****“For twenty godforsaken years, I’ve dedicated every breath to you, and yet the first time someone whispers poison in your ear, you turn on me like a rabid dog? You trusted a stranger… a violent, evil mongrel over me?”“I… I didn’t know what to believe—” Master Tush choked, utterly helpless, regretful, and frustrated right now. But before he could finish…“Oh shut up!” his wife snapped at him, her tone now brimming with venom.“You make me sick. You couldn’t even see what was right in front of you! Look at what he did to me! Look at the bruises, the bandages, the blood! And you DARED to hesitate? You call yourself a husband? You don’t deserve to kneel at my feet, much less call me your wife!”Each word was carved into Master Tush’s bloated pride like a jagged dagger. He lowered his head, his entire frame quivering with regret.“I’m sorry… I’m so sorry…” he muttered, his voice collapsing into itself.But Madam Tush was far from done.Her eyes blazed now… not with grief, bu

    *****Madam Tush’s limbs began to fail her, her knees buckling as a wave of dread washed over her, crashing into her chest like a tidal wave.She staggered, her spine prickling with icy fear.She had been meticulous… frighteningly so over the years.She had constantly laced every smile, touch, and midnight whisper with deception. For years, she had hidden her betrayal beneath the façade of a devoted and faithful wife, wrapping herself in the illusion of love.She had played her role perfectly so that she would never be caught.She had done every single thing to hide her disgust for her husband, yet now…A violent tremor raced through Madam Tush’s body, and for the briefest moment, a flicker of guilt… raw and damning flashed across the visible part of her heavily made-up face. But then, her heart skipped a frantic beat.‘NOT NOW!’ Her mind screamed at her. ‘I can’t afford a single mistake right now. Not even a flinch nor a tear out of place.’Madam Tush forcefully calmed herse

    *****(Previously promised Bonus Chapter)….Absolutely no one anticipated the venom Xavier spewed so suddenly.Not Master Tush, not the smug guards, not the trembling attendant, not the haughty Madam Tush—Not even Vidor, the worthless excuse of a man, whom Xavier had thrown his question at.They all stood paralyzed, their expressions frozen in time, stunned by the bombshell Xavier had casually dropped like a flaming meteor into their fragile reality.His words continued echoing through the store like a curse, sticking in the air and clearly haunting their thoughts.Seconds ticked by, feeling like eternal minutes.Then—“Wha… what kind of deranged filth just came out of your mouth?!”Both Vidor and Madam Tush shrieked simultaneously, their voices laced with unmistakable panic. It was as if they shared not just the same sin, but the same rotting soul.At that precise moment, both of them were internally crumbling.Vidor’s face was flushed crimson with dread. He knew exact

  • Chapter 477 – Xavier’s Question

    *****Hearing Vidor’s offer, Madam Tush, who was still brimming with revenge, paused for a second, but then her lip curled into a vicious smirk, already imagining the scene painted by Vidor.Master Tush, on the other hand, blinked in surprise, his brow raised in bemused curiosity.‘Isn’t this scum her father?’ he thought.Xavier, meanwhile, narrowed his gaze.Of course, he had recognized Vidor the moment he saw him.How could he forget someone like that?This pathetic excuse for a father, who had always treated his daughter like dirt and filth unworthy of love or care.In fact, Xavier had been planning to sort his busy schedule and find this man… this coward and evil man who deserved nothing but scorn and pain.For a moment, time slowed. No one said a word.Then—Master Tush laughed. A cold, grating chuckle, devoid of humor or sanity.“Oh, this is going to be delightfully twisted,” he sneered. “I was going to make that child bleed regardless of your offer. But… if her path

  • Chapter 476 – Vidor’s Offer

    *****Xavier had never anticipated that chaos would once again arrive during what should have been a simple, quiet purchase. All he had wanted was to buy the herbs, return home, prepare the restorative potion for his parents, and perhaps, for once, rest early.Now, with an aching jaw and nerves fraying at the edges, he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.“I’ve had a long, soul-draining day already. I seriously don’t have the time or the patience for any of this idiocy again,” he muttered, his tone cold, heavy, and sharp like a serrated blade—so dark that it made the earlier tension in the room feel like a warm breeze in comparison.“You insolent mutt…”Master Tush’s face twisted into a snarl. His veins bulged, rage pulsing through his oversized frame like molten lava.“What the hell are you worthless meat sacks standing around for?! Break their bones already! Do your damn jobs!” he bellowed, each word saturated with venom.The two guards straightened instantly.Then, wit
