Chapter 760 – The Commotion and Speculations in the Hall
*****Everyone, seeing the woman’s pitiful expression, instantly frowned, their brows knitting in confusion.‘What happened?’ they all thought subconsciously.But just then…“Why did you pinch me, Father? That really hurt!” the woman exclaimed, her voice breaking with genuine pain.All mouths instantly dropped open upon hearing this, then all heads turned again, all gaze landing on the man beside the woman.It was an elderly, broad-shouldered, and grey-bearded man, an E-rank fighter known for his stern pride.But right now, he did not look proud. Instead, he looked… lost.His beard quivered as if his chin had lost all strength, his eyes, wide and unblinking, fixating on his daughter with a face heavily etched with disbelief.Then, amidst everyone’s intensified confusion…“You… you actually felt that pinch?” he stammered.The crowd instantly blinked, everyone exchanging dazed glances. ‘Was he serious?’ they thought.“Of course, I felt it, Father! My body is not made of iron
Chapter 759 – Julius’s Excitement
*****“Hahahaha!”A sudden roar of laughter shattered the tension, echoing through the hall so abruptly that it nearly gave several guests a heart attack.Immediately, all heads whipped around in perfect unison, all eyes searching for the source of the thunderous voice.It came from the third section… Julius, Julius Cromwell.At this moment, he was on his feet, his entire body shaking as he laughed like a man who had been possessed.His grin stretched wide, his eyes gleaming with manic delight, which, to the crowd, made him appear like someone who had just lost his grip on sanity.“That… that is my master!” Julius crowed, his chest puffed, and his voice bursting with pride.The crowd watched in stunned disbelief, almost everyone wondering whether he had lost his mind.But Julius didn’t care. He was far too busy drowning in excitement right now to care.He had expected Xavier to dominate, yes, but this? This was far beyond anything he had imagined. It was glorious, terrifying
Chapter 758 – Departing the Banquet
*****Standing there frozen, Grace’s mind had long spiraled out of her control, as if it had been thrown into a whirlwind.Far too many things had happened tonight… so much that she had felt so humiliated in a way she had never experienced before in her life.But the way it had ended and how the tables had turned so sharply and drastically… it was something she could never have ever imagined in her life.So, hearing Xavier’s sudden question and his tone that was so warm, completely different from the cold, indifferent tone he had used to speak to everyone else, it took a moment for her to react, then… she blinked and her eyes slid to him in a daze.For a long heartbeat, however, she just stared at him, unable to gather her thoughts into anything coherent.How was she even supposed to respond after everything that had just unfolded?She had already known that Xavier was her guidance angel and he would always find a way out for her in any situation, but tonight’s had been hopeles
Chapter 757 – I’ve Already Marked All Your Faces
****Augustus looked ready to explode at this moment, causing half the crowd to instinctively lean back, as if expecting him to erupt in flames.Lyria, however, wasn’t impressed. If anything, the sight seemed to disgust her further.“Crashed your banquet?” she scoffed, her lip curling as if the words themselves were poison. She pointed back at the Scoan father and son, the gesture sharp as a blade. “You two clowns ruined your own banquet when you dared to humiliate the Master. Don’t twist things. If you want to blame anyone, it was you.”She let the silence hang for half a beat, then added, her voice dripping venom:“And honestly… it seems your family is really tired of living.”This was it.The crowd froze, their blood running cold. A collective shiver swept through the guests as their eyes widened and their ragged breaths filled the silence.Finally, all mouths hung open in stunned disbelief.‘Did she just… threaten the Scoan family?’The thought struck everyone at once, a
Chapter 756 – Augustus’s Rage
****The roar came so suddenly, so loud, and so unexpected, that the moment it echoed, everyone’s hearts jolted in their chests.Dozens of people stumbled back in the next instant, several others flinching, completely caught off guard by the voice and sound. They subconsciously turned toward the sound and… it came from Augustus.Right now, his face was completely twisted with fury, thick veins bulging at his temples.His eyes, cold, sharp, and brimming with disbelief were fixed on his kneeling son, his fists clenched so tight that his knuckles turned white.Augustus seemed to have lost his mind at this moment, acting as though he was seeing things which he refused to believe.“How… how could you, a mighty F-rank fighter, kneel to a nameless rat?!” His roar was so fierce that it rattled the dining sets on the tables and chandeliers alike. “How could you humiliate yourself to this degree, disgrace your rank, tarnish our family name, and even drag me into the mud along with you?!
Chapter 755 – How Could You kneel?!
****There are different kinds of silence.There’s the normal, ordinary silence… the simple absence of sound. And then there’s the abnormal silence.This one is the heavy, suffocating kind that feels alive. It wraps around throats and squeezes them until every breath turns sharp and shallow.It was the kind of silence where even your own heartbeat didn’t just thump in your chest… it thundered so loudly that it sounds like a war drum in your head, and the rush of blood in your veins roared like a storm against your eardrums.And this latter silence… it was the one that currently enveloped the grand hall.That’s right.At this moment, every single soul in the hall… whether noble or common, male or female, arrogant or meek, was frozen in place, appearing transfixed, and their gazes locked on one man...Lucius Scoan, the once-proud heir of the Scoan family, who was now on his knees, looking so horrified, pale, and trembling so violently that it looked as though his very bones had
