Chapter 685 – Reminiscing the Painful Past II
*****There had been one day… one unbearable moment that would forever be etched into Xavier’s bones.That day, a bald, pig-faced inmate had stood on Grandpa Zev’s back, laughing hysterically like a lunatic on bath salts, bouncing as though riding a trampoline.And the old man, on the other hand, had bitten his lip so hard that blood had trickled from the corner of his mouth, his face had contorted in agony, and his body had trembled uncontrollably... yet he hadn’t screamed, hadn’t shed a single tear. He had simply endured it all in silence.Buckets of sweat had poured from him like he was melting. Yet, all he had done was cling to the ground, trembling and silent.And seeing this, Xavier, who wasn’t able to watch it again, had snapped.He hadn’t calculated anything; he hadn’t even cared about the consequences. Instead, he had simply lunged forward, grabbed the bald monster, and shoved him with every ounce of strength he had, which, at the time, wasn’t much more than a sneeze in
Chapter 684 – Reminiscing the Painful Past I
*****Watching Ayra as she broke apart, Xavier remained silent.He didn’t speak, didn’t console, and didn’t even shift.He just sat there like a stone at the foot of a grave, knowing full well that there were no words in existence that could cradle that kind of grief. No “I’m sorry” that could undo the horror of false hope.But even as he sat there in stillness, another memory had already begun creeping through the back of his mind… unbidden, but relentless.Grandpa Zev… his master and mentor.If Xavier owed anyone his soul, his life, and his very identity, it was that old man.When Xavier first arrived at prison about five years ago, he had been nothing short of a chew toy for the sadistic and bored.He was the fresh meat, the weakling, and the target with the “Kick Me” sign tattooed onto his back.Day after day, he had been beaten like a drum in battle. His meals were constantly snatched away before he could so much as look at them, let alone sniff them, and his workload wa
Chapter 683 – Ayra’s Pain
*****“He had returned to his ancestors three years ago.”These words didn’t just land in Ayra’s ears… they detonated inside her skull like a time bomb, echoing in her mind with the force of a falling cathedral, the weight of an entire belief system collapsing.For a moment… an entire heartbeat that seemed to stretch into eternity, she couldn’t react, she couldn’t blink, and she couldn’t breathe.She just stood there as if gravity itself had become heavier, dragging her into a dazed paralysis, her eyes fixated on Xavier like he had just become an entirely new species.Her body felt distant, like a puppet left limp after its strings had been abruptly and cruelly severed.Her lips parted, struggling to form a coherent sound. “You…” she began, her voice shaking like a thread caught in a storm.Then she inhaled sharply, dragging a deep, trembling breath through her lungs as though trying to chill the inferno of confusion blazing in her skull. She tried to compose herself… just bare
Chapter 682 – The Unraveled Mystery II
*****“They staged that entire story to cripple your spirits, to crush your will to fight. They wanted the Nightshadow Sect to bleed out slowly… first in body, then in soul. And most likely, they told that lie so that no one would bother looking for Grandpa Zev… much less consider rescuing him from the prison.”“This…”Ayra’s words caught in her throat like thorns.Her eyes widened as the cruel puzzle began to align, each piece more horrifying than the last. Slowly, realization crept across her face… and then came fury, full force.“How… how evil!” she choked, tears finally breaking free and clouding her vision.Her voice trembled, then cracked, until it became a guttural hiss of pain. “They were the Founding father’s best friends!” she exclaimed, her voice rising in disbelief and agony. “How could they betray him like that? How could they scheme so cruelly against their own brother-in-arms? How could they… be that heartless?”Her fists clenched un
Chapter 681 – The Unraveled Mystery I
*****Xavier met her gaze without blinking, then gave a solemn shake of his head. His face was still as stoic as a mountain in winter… so straight, it could’ve been carved from cold stone.And Ayra…It was like her entire consciousness had unplugged.Her spirit exited her body and stood beside her in disbelief. Her once-vivid eyes became glazed and hollow, like the spark had been vacuumed out of her.She looked like someone who had just been told her childhood idol was a scam artist.“How... How is that even possible?” she gasped, her voice trembling.But then, just as his words settled into the air, his brows drew together sharply. Something clicked.“Wait!” he suddenly exclaimed, jolting upright.Ayra yelped, her entire body twitching like she had been shocked by lightning.“Didn’t you say,” Xavier continued, “that the people who attacked your hidden world claimed they had poisoned Grandpa Zev? That he had… been killed?”Ayra
Chapter 680 – The Unraveled Mystery
*****“But… the Founding Father died twenty-four, maybe twenty-five years ago,” she finally blurted, her voice hoarse from shock. “How could you have possibly met him only five years ago?!”Xavier, who had up until now been deep in thought, digesting all of her revelations, blinked and came back to reality with a soft jolt.He gave a slow shake of his head and fixed her with a thoughtful stare. “Unless the Founding Father you’re referring to isn’t Zeverd, the annoyingly wise old man with a sense of humor drier than desert sand, then we’re definitely talking about the same person.”Ayra's head spun.She clutched it, feeling like she was about to scream into the void.“It… it must be him,” she muttered, her voice cracking. “There’s no way there could be such a coincidence. He had the same name… the same aura… and he possessed the sect’s leadership token. It’s him. It has to be sir Zev.”But her heart was thundering in her chest, and a strange, creeping dread began to fill her sou
