Chapter 740 – Lyria’s Shock
*****Once again, disgust surged in Lyria’s chest, but she hurriedly pushed it down, forcing her face into perfect neutrality. The time for aloofness was over... she couldn’t risk letting them, or worse, Xavier, catch even the faintest trace of the arrogance and coldness she had carried in with her.When she finally spoke, her voice was smooth and warm, carrying the effortless elegance of someone raised in the art of diplomacy.“Congratulations, Uncle Augustus,” she said lightly, her gaze shifting politely to Lucius, “and to you as well, Brother Lucius. Grandfather wanted to attend this banquet personally, but an urgent matter came up, so he sent me in his place to extend our congratulations on your breakthroughs.”The moment the words left her lips, a heavy, pin-drop, and suffocating silence slammed into the hall like a physical force, causing everyone to freeze in place.For a moment that felt like an eternity, the entire hall seemed to forget how to breathe. Then…All hearts
Chapter 739 – A Misunderstanding
*****Standing at the grand entrance of the hall with the stares of over two hundred and fifty gawking eyes pinned on her, as if she were some kind of celebrity, Lyria Myron felt as though the entire hall had frozen in time.At this moment, her mind was in total chaos, her heart thundering so frantically against her ribs that it almost hurt her, and her body utterly locked in place, but she failed to notice.Why?Xavier was there.Lyria felt that her eyes were deceiving her, staring at the man standing so casually near the center of the hall, with that signature maddeningly lazy smile that looked as though life itself could never be heavy enough to bother him.How could she not recognize him?Even if last night hadn’t happened, Xavier had developed a long, everlasting impression on her since that night in the alleyway, when he had appeared out of nowhere during hers and her grandfather's most dire situation, saving them.But then came last night... the chaos he had unleashed,
Chapter 738 – Is That… Master Xavier
*****The remaining calm people in the midst of this storm were none other than Xavier and Grace.Right now, the couple stood unmoving, appearing like statues, their expression not changing even a bit.Xavier still wore his familiar, maddeningly casual smile, acting as if the world and its noise couldn’t reach him. Grace, by contrast, wore the look of cold detachment, her face sculpted into aloof indifference.But her eyes betrayed her.Anyone who looked deep enough would catch the flicker of anxiousness and restlessness swimming under that frosted surface right now.She also knew the legends of the Myron family and their meteoric rise to the upper ranks without leaning on the first-rank houses.To meet them in person could mean doors opening for her and her company that she had only dreamed of. The thought alone quickened her pulse.But after everything that had happened tonight… the mockery, the insults, and the scorn, Grace no longer dared
Chapter 737 – Julius’s Anticipation
*****Only about four people in the entire hall remained composed at this moment.The first was Julius, who was seated calmly in the third section, his sharp eyes fixed not on the chaotic nobles, but on one man… Xavier.Unlike the rest, Xavier hadn’t flinched.He uttered a word, fidgeted, or so much as shifted in his chair.The only reaction Julius had caught on his face was a subtle lift of Xavier’s brow at the initial announcement of the Myrons’ arrival, and after that… nothing.He had stood there lazily since his arrival, his posture relaxed, and his expression unreadable.It was the look of someone utterly unconcerned, as if everything, even the news of the Myrons’ arrival, were no more important than hearing a servant announce dinner was ready.And that baffling calm sent Julius’s blood rushing with excitement.He continued studying Xavier’s every line and every twitch… or rather, the complete lack of them.He searched desperate
Chapter 736 – The Commotion In The Hall
*****Only after the father and son’s footsteps faded away did the rest of the hall finally return to life.Yet no one commented on what they had just witnessed… that the Scoan father and son duo, who had left their guests unattended for over an hour, had suddenly dropped everything to go grovel at a guest like overeager butlers.No one mentioned the hypocrisy.They didn’t even seem to notice. It was as though getting looked down upon was normal.Not only that.The difference between the way they had treated Xavier and Grace compared to the Myron family was staggering… like night and day.But did anyone care? Not even slightly.Instead…“Damn! The Myron family really came?” an E-rank elder burst out, his voice ringing with pure, unhidden envy. “They only sent a representative when I broke through to the E-rank!”“Aish! I thought they wouldn’t bother showing up! We could’ve used that to crush and bully the Scoan family!”“The Myron family here, in person… This is insane. I n
Chapter 735 – Lucius Scheme
*****For a moment that felt like an eternity after the announcement dropped, the grand hall was enveloped in a silence so absolute that it could have suffocated a heartbeat.It was so intense that a single pin falling to the ground right now would not just echo, but it would explode in the hall like thunder, shaking every bone to the core and making everyone flinch in fright.From the first section of the hall to the third, every face has the same expression… wide eyes, dropped jaws, and bodies frozen in place.It was as though the entire hall had just been told the world was ending in ten minutes, and the countdown had already started.No matter who they were and what their background was, every last one of them froze solid, their earlier chatter and sneering forgotten.Even Sarah, whose elation had only just shot straight through the roof, at the sort of unexpected humiliation Xavier and Grace were about to receive, felt her malice disappearing, completely overtaken by shock.
