*****

Inside the overly crowded fighting arena, with most people currently doing their thing, David and Laura sat with their hands tightly bound, imprisoned in a cage like helpless slaves up for auction.

Crouched in the corner, they appeared utterly defeated and hopeless right now. Laura was looking petrified, while David, though equally terrified, struggled to maintain a facade of strength for his wife.

Outside the cage, the first Lion King who sat like a ruler, sharpening a blade as though he were preparing to butcher meat suddenly sent a vicious smirk toward the couple, clearly relishing their pitiful state.

“Let’s see if that a$$hole son of yours would dare to come and rescue you,” he suddenly said, making both Laura and David glance at him, their heart plummeting to the lowest bottom upon seeing the look on his face.

Seeing their reaction, the Lion King chuckled, utterly excited by their helpless and tragic expressions. With this, his voice turned even more malevolent, s

    *****For a brief moment, the arena was utterly silent, the air filled to the brim with tension.Unable to react, every person present shuddered all over, feeling the icy, bloodthirsty aura radiating from Xavier, who stood like a grim reaper about to harvest lives.This lasted for a moment before finally, the lips of Jazzy, the only one not affected by Xavier’s presence, who had been observing him curved into a smirk at one end.“Interesting,” he mumbled playfully, his eyes suddenly glinting with a frenzied glow. The following second, his voice broke the trance in the hall, jolting the couple in the cage back to reality.Laura’s face turned a ghastly white, far paler than when she had first heard the fate awaiting her and her husband if Xavier didn’t come, and a wave of sheer terror, stronger than anything she had ever felt before in her entire life, washed over her.“Why—why did you come, why?” She demanded with a cry from within the cage, her voice trembling badly from despera

    *****What’s going on?” From within the cage, both Laura and David wondered blankly before exchanging confused gazes, seeing the terrified look on everyone’s faces after hearing Jazzy’s words about their son.“Do you have an idea what a ranked fighter is?” Laura eventually asked with a shaky voice, instantly jolting David back to his senses.David hesitated for a moment, not sure about the response to give as the term ‘ranked fighter’ was also strange to him.Eventually, he looked from the thugs to Jazzy, before finally looking back at his wife.He opened his mouth and murmured, uncertainty evident in his voice. "I'm not sure," he admitted. "But it seems to be related to strength," he pondered aloud. "A level of strength that's not very common to ordinary people.““This…” Laura’s mind raced and she was lost for a moment, but then her eyes brightened with sudden hope.“Does—does that mean our son won’t be harmed?” she asked, her voice thick with optimism, and David, seeing the t

    *****While the thugs in the arena were in a jubilant mood, mocking Xavier with newfound confidence and condescension, David and Laura sat dumbstruck inside their cage at this moment. The relief they had felt just moments earlier completely crumbled and was nowhere to be seen again, only to be replaced by a hollow, soulless look.Though they still didn’t fully understand what was happening, the current expressions and mood of the crowd, the words of Jazzy’s trusted aide, and the terrifying aura emanating from Jazzy, which was several times stronger than their son’s told them everything they needed to know.Time seemed to stretch on endlessly as they sat soullessly on the ground, trying to process the situation, but eventually, they became thoroughly drained of all strength and became utterly devastated, realizing they might just have been too quick to jubilate just now.“My—my son mustn’t face him,” Laura suddenly mumbled, her voice barely above a whisper. Then, as if lit by a sud

    *****It's as if time and space had frozen in the arena right now, the very air itself thickened with shock and incredulity.Everyone stood in a frozen stupor, their eyes gaping, and their minds spinning in chaotic disbelief.Even a million times before now, if anyone had asked the thugs, or even Xavier’s parents, who would dominate the last exchange, the answer would have unanimously been Jazzy.Is it strength? Jazzy’s hulking frame, packed with rippling muscles, dwarfed Xavier’s lean figure, who in contrast looked like he would be snapped in half with a flick of Jazzy’s wrist.Aura? Jazzy’s earlier presence before he collided with Xavier had swallowed him whole, his oppressive energy having cast a menacing shadow over the arena.Finally, menace? Looking at Xavier’s handsome and frail appearance, he wouldn’t even be capable of scaring a child, unlike Jazzy, whose mere presence could terrify even a full-fledged-ranked fighter.Yet here they stood, staring at the impossible trut

    ***** Although Xavier could hear the group of thugs gloating around him, he paid them no attention, instead, his demeanor remained as calm and emotionless as it had been since he entered the arena, his gaze tightly locked on the incredibly furious Jazzy. That’s right. Jazzy was seething with so much fury right now, his eyes already clouded with darkness. Only if gaze alone could kill, Xavier would have already died a thousand times from his death glare alone. Jazzy had never experienced such humiliation as he had just done in his life before, not even when he was an unranked fighter. Since becoming an F-ranked warrior, respect and fear had followed him everywhere he went, even among other ranked fighters, as his strength had always been above those in the same rank as him. Now, however, just after breaking through to a higher rank—something that should have elevated him and made him receive the treatment and respect of a deity—he was made into a fool and joke of the century

    *****The silence in the arena stretched on, thick and oppressive for what felt like an eternity before eventually, a sudden cough echoed, breaking the stillness like a lone reminder of life.Immediately following this, an utterly broken and miserable-looking Jazzy crawled out of the rubble and dust of the walls, his once imposing figure now reduced to a shell of weakness and misery, his face pale as death.Although the silence in the arena had been shattered, the gangsters wouldn’t react, instead, they continued watching in stunned silence and disbelief, their hearts sinking to the deepest pits.Just moments ago, their leader had seemed unstoppable, like a god of war capable of shaking heaven and earth, but now, looking at him, he appeared so weak, pitiful, and broken.The gangsters subconsciously exchanged gazes after seeing this and their spirits shattered, their hearts also dropping to the lowest bottom possible.Although they had seen Jazzy lose miserably in the past exchan

    *****Jazzy’s brewing rage and madness vanished completely the moment he heard Xavier’s words and felt the deadly seriousness in them. Before he could process the words, however, he saw Xavier taking a single step forward.It was just a single step—harmless, unhurried, and casual—but in the next moment, Jazzy felt as though an immense, crushing force that could break through earth had been unleashed upon him, like an overpowered hydraulic press trapping his hand beneath it.For a brief second, his mind, body, and soul went utterly blank, lost in numbness. But then following this—indescribable, soul-searing pain—tore through him.“Rah!!!”The unbearably agonized scream of someone who felt as if their skin was sharply peeled off echoed through the hall, making everyone feel strong goosebumps run amok on their skin.Jazzy had never known this level of torment before in his life. No, he was certain he hadn’t experienced pain like this even in his past lives if such a thing existed.

    *****If a blind person were to stumble into the arena right now, they might be convinced it was completely lifeless, despite the presence of dozens.The silence was so thick, that it suffocated the air, as though even the tiniest sound feared to make an appearance despite how long had passed.Everyone stood frozen, staring lifelessly at the lifeless body of Jazzy lying on the ground with a look of terror, unwillingness, despair, and shock still present on his face.Moments ago, he was still a titan and a dominant force in the underground world who hadn’t taken Xavier seriously and was still planning to move to the higher ground, defeat his boss, and replace him. Now, however, he lay completely still, unremarkable—like an ant who had been crushed under the feet without being able to give even the slightest resistance.The disbelief in the air lingered, everyone’s minds continuing to struggle to process the reality before them—the reality of how Jazzy, an E-ranked fighter, among t

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

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

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

    *****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

    *****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
