Chapter 689 – Ayra’s Disbelief
*****While Ayra was going through an emotional onslaught, Xavier just sat there, watching her.He didn’t glare, and he didn’t laugh. He didn’t even blink much.He merely stared at Ayra with a blank, impenetrable expression, as if she were some boring painting he just casually studied because he had nothing else to do.There was no anger on his face, no mockery, no cold amusement, nor even curiosity. Just… emptiness.If anything, he looked like a monarch surveying a commoner… a mere background figure, unworthy of note.Ayra’s breathing became shallow.Seconds stretched into what felt like hours, but she remained kneeling there, helpless and defeated, internally screaming for mercy she wasn’t sure would ever come.Just when the silence had become unbearable…“I don’t want to seek revenge on you again,” Xavier finally spoke. “So I’d rather not know the truth.”His voice remained smooth, unhurried, calm, composed, and so chillingly casual that it somehow made the words even mor
Chapter 688 – Ayra’s Terror
*****Ayra trembled violently upon hearing Xavier, her knees buckling slightly.Her legs, despite their training and strength, quivered like reeds in a hurricane, and she felt like she might faint… right there on the floor, in full melodramatic collapse.Xavier’s words continued.“I want to know what I did to offend you, what sin I committed that made you feel that my life needed to end, and why you would be part of such a thing.”There was no edge to his voice. Just a slight tonal shift, barely perceptible, like a sliver of frost creeping over a windowpane.But to Ayra, it was Arctic winter.Her teeth began to chatter, not from the cold in the room, but the cold in her blood.“I don’t recall ever doing anything to harm you nor offending you,” Xavier went on, still annoyingly serene. “The only thing I remember… was causing a little commotion in your tavern, and that was only because I was trying to protect someone.”His gaze finally locked on her, firm and searching, as thoug
Chapter 687 – Ayra’s Helplessness
*****“I know you have something to do with the assassin's attempt on me last night,” Xavier said, his voice soft and nonchalant… so relaxed that in fact, it could’ve been mistaken for small talk about the weather.The words left his lips with the same ease one might use to discuss rainfall or the mild disappointment of a soggy meat pie.But those words?They didn’t land softly.They slammed into Ayra like a steel vice, snapping shut around her chest with brutal precision. The echo of his statement repeated in her ears like a cursed mantra… loud, sharp, and unforgiving.For a second, she couldn’t react, stunned to the core and dumbfounded.But then… Ayra’s eyes bulged, practically springing from their sockets. Her breath caught so violently in her throat, it sounded like someone had punched her lungs from the inside.She didn’t blink, she didn’t breathe, and for a moment longer, she didn’t even exist. She just… froze, her mouth ajar, suspended in an eternity of panic, somewher
Chapter 686 – I Know You Had Something to Do with The Assassination Attempt on Me Last Night
*****Another tear traced a slow descent from Xavier’s eye, carving a silent path down his cheek. It fell without sound but struck his soul like a boulder crashing into still water… breaking open everything he had held shut.Perhaps he had never truly wept because he had never truly faced it.Maybe it was because the sorrow had always been too heavy to carry and too sharp to touch without getting cut. But now, with the wall finally broken and the full force of the grief bearing down on him raw and relentless, Xavier lowered his head.His shoulders quivered as the long-buried pain surged up like a merciless flood.He felt it now... every jagged piece, every aching silence, every single second of it.But just then…“The Founding Father might have died…”A voice suddenly cracked the moment like a whip… raspy, jagged, and bitter, cutting through the air like rusted metal across glass.Xavier’s head snapped up slightly, his tear-streaked face twisting in mild startle as the weight
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
