Chapter 578 – Uncle Was Behind the Disaster That Had Almost Destroyed the City
*****Xavier couldn’t help but close his eyes briefly after understanding what his parents were talking about, a wave of guilt crashing over him again. He hadn’t just scared his parents with his disappearance—he had nearly broken them with the chaos his battle caused.Before he could form a response, a small hand tugged at Sarah’s gown.“Don’t be scared, Grandma,” Little Lola said, her tone solemn. “Uncle was behind the disaster that had scared you and grandfather, and almost destroyed the city.”Silence.The room froze, no one able to react for a second, but then…David’s eyes widened.Sarah’s breath caught.And Xavier blinked slowly, caught between horror and amusement.“This…” David muttered.Sarah’s mouth opened, then closed again.Xavier turned slowly to the little girl, a twitch tugging at the corner of his mouth.“…Little girl,” he finally managed, pinching the bridge of his nose, “did you just say I was behind a disaster?”Little Lola nodded her head earnestly, cl
Chapter 577 – Xavier’s Guilt
*****“You hurt me, Xavier.”These words echoed in a loop in Xavier’s ears, unable to believe them. For a moment, he couldn’t react, but then…“Wh… what?” he stammered, stunned into silence. “I—”But Sarah cut him off, not giving him the chance to speak.“What did I and your father ever do to you, huh?” she sobbed, all her emotions bursting out at once. “Did we offend you so deeply that you wish to take our life with worry? You vanish at a time that felt as though the world was ending, and don’t even pick up your phone?!Xavier’s heart twisted into a knot. His mouth opened and closed, but no words came out.“I called you…” Sarah screamed. “I called your phone over a thousand times!! Why didn’t you answer it?! Why did you make me think of the worst?!”Each word was a dagger to the heart.Images flashed through her mind… his body buried under rubble, his blood staining the streets, Little Lola’s cries lost in the storm… and with them came fresh sobs that shook her entire frame.
Chapter 576 – You Hurt Me, Xavier.
*****Like the rest of Riverton City, Sarah and David had also lived through the recent nightmare. They too had felt it… that suffocating fear, that soul-crushing dread as the sky split open, the thunder that roared like ancient beasts, and the ground that had trembled as though the very earth wished to unmake itself.And like the helpless citizens watching their world unravel, they had believed the end had come.Before any of this had begun, they had fallen asleep, too exhausted from the emotional rollercoaster of the day… their hearts still reeling from the joy and disbelief of knowing that they no longer had to worry about their son’s finances.But when the unnatural chaos tore through the heavens, waking the city with thunderclaps and lightning storms that had split the night sky in half… they had also shot upright in bed, their hearts hammering in panic.It felt apocalyptic.They had been terrified and felt unwilling.Why now?Why must the world collapse just when they’d
Chapter 575 – Do You Want to Give Me A Heart-Attack
*****Morderk’s face went pale as the realization thundered through him that he had called Xavier, a man who had just revealed himself as not only an A-rank fighter but the owner of this villa, a scammer. A fraud.A con artist.Before he knew it, tears pricked his eyes out of sheer humiliation, but he couldn't find the courage to shed them. He wished to hit himself hard on the face, his pride, already shattered, was now buried beneath layers of shame.He stumbled out of the car like a broken puppet and dropped to his knees.“I… I sincerely apologize for earlier, Master Xavier,” he said, bowing so deeply that his forehead touched the pavement.Xavier blinked at him, visibly confused.Again?‘How many times does this guy want to keep apologizing? Does he enjoy doing it that much? Or is he trying to guilt me into death by apology?’His brows furrowed in mild irritation. But then he let out a long breath and gave a half-exasperated sigh“I already said I’m not offended,” Xavier
Chapter 574 – Returning to Ocean View Estate
*****Xavier’s lips slowly curled upward upon seeing Morderk reacting like this… but not in kindness. It was a cold, merciless smirk.“I gave you the chance to walk away with your life intact yesterday,” he said with a tone of feigned amusement, his eyes gleaming with quiet menace. “You left unharmed, and yet here you are… still breathing, still ungrateful, wanting to take my life.”Morderk’s face went pale as chalk upon hearing Xavier. It felt like his heart had been gripped by an invisible claw… crushed by a silent force that reeked of death.“No! No, please—Sir A-rank fighter, it… It wasn’t me!” he wailed. “It was the devil’s doing! The devil made me do it!”Xavier raised an eyebrow. “The devil, hmm?”“Yes, yes!” Morderk cried pitifully, nodding his head frantically like a broken doll. “That bastard—Bloodfang Viper—he forced me! He threatened me! I had no choice, I swear on my soul!”His voice cracked with desperation. Tears brimmed in his eyes as his knees scraped the stone
Chapter 573 – Morderk’s Terror
*****By the time Xavier and Little Lola finally departed from the Myron family estate, it was well past one in the morning.The city outside had descended into an eerie stillness, blanketed by a chilling silence so deep it seemed like the world itself had stopped breathing.The entire metropolis lay suffocated under a heavy, oppressive atmosphere… an invisible dread hung in the air, as though all its inhabitants were still scared that the looming presence of a wrathful death god stalking the streets would still attack.…But before Xavier left the Myron estate, however, he was practically worshipped within the estate.Revered like a divine being, he was treated with overwhelming reverence and deference by both elders and youths alike. Yet far from flattered, Xavier found the behavior stifling.So, with a weary sigh, he had ordered that the wounded guards be tended to promptly.Thankfully, the Myron estate housed an elite medical team—top-tier physicians and nurses who resided
