*****

They say maintaining absolute silence in a room with fewer than fifty people is easy. Manageable, even.

Once the number crosses a hundred, though? That’s where it becomes nearly impossible.

Human beings would breathe. They would shift. They would cough, murmur, sneeze, and move without realizing it. Now, multiply that by a hundred, and absolute silence becomes little more than a fantasy.

But that law didn’t seem to apply here. Not today. Not in this bank.

More than three hundred people were packed shoulder to shoulder within the confines of the main banking hall—customers, employees, security personnel, and even a few passersby who had walked in just moments earlier.

And yet…

Not a sound.

Not a whisper.

Not a rustle.

Not even the rustle of fabric or the sigh of shifting weight.

This wasn’t just silence. This was a… void.

It was the kind of unnatural, oppressive stillness that made the very air feel thick and heavy—as though it might shatter if anyone dared to move.

  • Chapter 746 – The Hall’s Shock and Disbelief II

    *****Right now, every face was pale, all lips trembling, and every eye glazed with disbelief. It was as though their very souls had been torn out of their bodies, and what remains now was nothing but empty shells.Time seemed to warp, dragging on for what felt like forever, as everyone struggled in vain to understand what they were seeing and what they had just heard.Then, finally, amidst their never-stopping stupor, a voice broke the suffocating stillness.“Don’t worry.”It came lazily and casually from Xavier, who hadn’t spoken a word since stepping into the hall, and yet, now, his voice carried with effortless authority.The sound directly jolted through the hall like a bolt of electricity, and instantly, some people actually flinched, and others blinked rapidly, the sound itself clearly snapping them from a trance.But what he said… and more importantly, how he said it, only made the tension even worse.He didn’t speak to Lyria like he w

  • Chapter 745 – The Hall’s Shock and Disbelief

    *****As soon as everyone in the hall heard these sudden and unexpected words, their muscle froze, their breath caught in their throat, and their head turned, looking for the owner.And then they found her.It was Lyria, and currently, the woman, who had been all polite smiles and effortless charm just a moment ago, had fixed Lucius with a cold disdain sharp enough to make grown men want to crawl out of their own skin.Recalling her words, every spine instantly went rigid, as if the air itself had turned to steel, and in the stunned silence that followed, the same thought echoed like a drumbeat in their minds:‘Is the Myron family about to obliterate the Scoans?’But just then…“Hmph!”A sharp and cold snort echoed through the suffocating silence, sounding like a shard of glass, causing every head in the hall to snap toward the source immediately.It came from Augustus, who had been quiet since he discovered that Lyria was ‘interested’ in

  • Chapter 744 – It Seems The Scoan Is Really Tired of Living

    *****Still inside the hall, the entire crowd had frozen right now, as if someone had just dropped a live grenade in their midst.'Humiliate the master?'The words continued echoing through their heads, looping endlessly as everyone struggled to make sense of them.Finally, after what felt like an eternity had passed, every pair of eyes became fixated on Lyria, their faces frozen with shock and confusion, their jaws hanging loose like unhinged doors.The dazed, bewildered disbelief she had worn only moments ago had vanished without a trace… and now, Lyria’s eyes, which seemed to burn with fury, were locked on Lucius with the kind of ferocity that made it seem as if he had just spat on her ancestors’ graves.It had all happened so fast and so suddenly that it broke their ability to process.For a long, dizzy second, their brains simply refused to catch up, as though stuck in some endless loading screen. Then, as if on cue, everyone blinked rapidly,

  • Chapter 743 – You Dare To Humiliate The Master?!

    *****Immediately seeing Xavier like this, appearing as though nothing going on in the hall had anything to do with him, Grace’s breathing unconsciously slowed down and her pulse steadied.Then just like that, her boiling rage settled into something colder and sharper, the trembling in her fingers stopping, and her expression smoothening until her face returned to being a cold, emotionless mask.Without realizing it, the usually independent Grace began to draw her calm from Xavier... from that quiet, unshakable strength he always wore so naturally.After everything they had been through, maybe it wasn’t even unconscious. He had steadied her before, in moments far worse than this, his composure and indifference grounding her when her world was falling apart.And so, as if on cue, the two of them… both Grace and Xavier, stood side by side, appearing detached and completely serene, while the storm around them raged on.To anyone walking in fresh, they wouldn’t appear like the targe

  • Chapter 742 – Grace’s Fury

    *****Thinking this, Sarah’s eyes narrowed, a predator, vicious gleam suddenly flickering to life within themWithout hesitation, she thrust a trembling finger toward Xavier“This bastard,” she spat with hatred, pure venom dripping from every syllable, “is an ex-convict!”“I dated him once,” she continued, practically shaking with the force of her rage, “stupid enough to think he was just some harmless nobody. I didn’t know…” her lip curled into a sneer “…that he was a dangerous criminal. The kind of man who could kill without blinking!”Gasps echoed through the crowd like startled birds.But Sarah wasn’t done.“He just crawled out of prison not long ago,” she snapped, her words sharpened by spite. “And not just any prison… he was just released from the worst hellhole in the country. The kind of place you are not sent unless you’ve committed a crime so vile it makes the devil flinch.”The hall instantly erupted with whispers, everyone stupefied by Sarah’s report. She hadn’t re

  • Chapter 741 – Lyria’s Shock II

    *****For a moment after Lucius’s words rang out, the entire hall fell into a heavy, awkward, and suffocating silence, dozens of heads turning toward him in disbelief, as though they couldn’t quite process that he had actually brought up the topic again.But then, a look of understanding slowly dawned over a few faces, and in the next second, they smiled wryly in realization.‘Ah… he’s trying to show off,’ they thought collectively. ‘Putting on a little display for her, and to show her how manly he is.’And just like that, every pair of eyes turned back to Lyria.Right now, she looked… stunned. Wait, no. Stunned didn’t even cover her present expression.She was frozen at this moment, her lips parted slightly, and her blue eyes wide open, the shock in them so potent that it could have been painted across her forehead.Seeing her like this, everyone instantly came to the same, utterly wrong conclusion. ‘She must be appalled to learn that the handsome person before her was a low-l
