Chapter 547 – Who… Who Are You?
*****“Um… Little Lola is confused. Why is everyone saying Uncle died in that explosion… when Uncle had never left where he had been standing from the beginning?”The voice that just spoke was very soft, gentle, and filled with so much innocence. Yet it immediately thundered through the air like a bolt of lightning.Every head immediately turned toward the source of the voice, their bodies going rigid as if stricken by an invisible blow. Then their eyes locked onto the small figure at the center of the chaos—Little Lola.The little girl’s eyebrows were scrunched together, a look of genuine confusion and perplexity plastered across her cherubic face. She gazed at the crowd, clearly puzzled by their expressions of mourning and shock.For a moment, not a single soul could find a word to speak. They could only stare at the little girl in a daze, stunned, mystified, and unblinking.Finally, however, after what felt like an eternity, someone choked out a response. “What… what did you
Chapter 546 – Why Is Everyone Saying Uncle Died in That Explosion?
*****Cassandra’s lips quivered. Her brother’s fists clenched until blood seeped from his palms. Their mother, who stood a few steps behind them, looked no different. Her expression was one of complete devastation… her eyeliner smudged, her face pale, and her posture unsteady.But they felt that it was already too late.Even Mordek, of all people, stood rooted in place, entranced.He had originally marked Xavier for death because he had disrupted their mission, humiliated them, and caused his comrades’ deaths.Driven by a thirst for revenge, he had vowed to make Xavier pay, no matter how powerful he was.But now?Now he couldn’t move.He couldn’t even think straight.‘So… that’s the power of a C-rank fighter?’ he muttered internally, a cold shiver crawling down his spine like a blade of ice.He vividly recalled the moment Bloodfang Viper’s punch had connected with Xavier. The explosion… the devastation. The noise that swallowed the entire district. It had been the strike of
Chapter 545 – We Led Him to His Death
*****For what felt like an eternity, an unnatural stillness blanketed the world.No one moved, no one blinked. No one even dared to inhale.Time itself seemed to hold its breath.It wasn’t just the onlookers at the Myron estate or the members of the Nightshadow Guild who were in this state—everyone in the city of Riverton was also in it. From the streets to every home, every single person was frozen in a moment of stunned disbelief.The sheer shockwave from the impact had not only shaken the ground, but it had also rattled their very perception of reality.Just moments ago, Riverton City had begun to settle into a fragile sense of calm because those who had felt the earlier oppressive aura had believed the danger was over after it disappeared.Murmurs of relief had started to spread through the city as people slowly clung to the hope that the mysterious intruder had disappeared or moved on. The city’s defenders had even paused their frantic search for the source of that overwh
Chapter 544 – Bloodfang Viper’s Strike (Bonus Chapter)
*****[ The Owed Bonus Chapter ]Despite Bloodfang Viper’s terrifying and cold aura, Xavier didn’t summon his energy. He didn’t adjust his stance, and even more, he didn’t tense his shoulders even a bit.If anything… he looked more relaxed.Some might even say lazy.“Is he… asleep standing?” someone whispered in disbelief.It didn’t make sense.But before they could think much:“I’m taking it you’re not going to apologize for the disruption you caused this city tonight, no?” Xavier asked calmly.His voice was steady… eerily so. The words weren’t shouted. They weren’t aggressive. Just plainly stated… as though he were asking whether someone intended to clean up after spilling a drink.And yet, the silence that followed was deafening.Every head in the crowd whipped toward Xavier, their jaws slack with disbelief.A few nearly stumbled backward, as if the sheer absurdity of the question had physically struck them.“Did he really just ask that?” someone whispered hoarsely.“
Chapter 543 – I Like You
*****Everyone had originally assumed that Bloodfang Viper had only decided to kill Xavier because he had already seen Xavier, thinking that the task was originally meant to be carried out by his subordinates. After all, that made more sense.But now? It was certain, it was certain that the mission was going to be concluded by Bloodfang Viper himself.A deadly hush spread through the onlookers like poison gas. The revelation twisted their stomachs and froze their limbs.Suddenly… they didn’t just fear for Xavier.They pitied him.‘If it were me, I’d have chosen a coma over certain death,’ many thought grimly, exchanging glances filled with unease.But then… Xavier’s voice rang out once more.“So…” he repeated, coolly. “What did you choose? Coma… or death?”That sentence shattered the silence like glass underfoot.Gasps echoed around him, and everyone stared at Xavier in a daze… utterly unable to comprehend what they had just heard.‘He… was throwing the 'offer' back again?’
Chapter 542 – I Don’t Fail Missions
*****Lyria’s words hung heavy in the air for a moment, infused with desperation and raw vulnerability.It wasn’t just a plea anymore. It was a lifeline thrown from the edge of despair.And yet, Xavier didn’t budge. He didn’t utter a word.He didn’t even blink.For a fleeting second, the faint smile on his lips flickered—but then it returned, unwavering.Lyria’s heart cracked at this, and the hope she clung to instantly crumbled in her chest. She had known Xavier to be proud… but this wasn’t pride anymore.This was conviction.And that terrified her even more.Even little Lola… still trembling from the earlier carnage, stepped forward, her tiny frame shaking. Though she was young, her instincts screamed that something was very wrong. Her eyes, wide with childlike fear, searched Xavier’s face.“Uncle… please don’t let anything bad happen to you,” she whimpered through choked sobs.Her voice was soft, but it cut through the tension like a blade.It struck Xavier right in t
