Chapter 540 – He Has Gone Mad!
*****Hearing the five’s words, Mistress Ayra didn’t as much as frown at the suggestion. Instead, she merely chuckled—a soft, chilling sound that slithered through the dark like a whisper from the abyss.Then she stretched slowly, like a cat rising from slumber, her voice rich with amusement and something more elusive. “Even when the ending seems certain… sometimes the process reveals more than the outcome. I want to see it. I need to understand what motivates him. Where does that madness come from… and why do I feel it’s not just insanity?”There was a cryptic note at the end of her words, one that sent a chill down the spine of even her most veteran assassins. Yet, they didn’t comment. They merely exchanged glances, rolled unseen eyes, and fell back into silence.'What could possibly be special about a reckless fool too deluded to see his own doom?'They didn’t know. And frankly speaking, they didn’t care.To them, Xavier was just another overconfident man-child playing hero i
Chapter 539 – Who is This Lunatic?
*****Silence seemed to reign like a tyrant, suffocating the very air around the Myron estate at this very moment.It wasn’t simply quiet… it was unnatural, the type of stillness that seemed to mute the world itself, where even the wind dared not blow, and the chirping of insects ceased as if the earth held its breath.And yet, within that heavy silence, no one within the Myron family residence reacted. No one could. They were too overwhelmed, frozen not by fear, but by an overwhelming cocktail of disbelief, dread, and awe.Why?Xavier’s words.…Somewhere not too far from where Sage Myron, his family, and their guards stood dumbfounded, six enigmatic silhouettes hovered in the night like ghosts of the void.They had become one with the darkness, woven into the fabric of the shadows themselves.Even if one stared directly at these six figures, they would appear as nothing more than an indistinguishable part of the night.This concealment wasn't mere stealth… it was an art. A
Chapter 538 – Xavier’s Extended Offer
*****“I didn’t realize I was this important. An A-rank assassin hired to take me out? What an honor.”Xavier’s words, though clearly sarcastic, rang with a strange dignity.Bloodfang Viper, for a moment, seemed caught off guard but chose not to correct Xavier. After all, the job had originally been beneath his status—he had only taken it on out of convenience.As for the others, Xavier’s words struck a different chord.To them, they sounded… pitiful.Even Cassandra and Malcolm, who had originally viewed Xavier with suspicion and disdain, found themselves pitying him. Their perspectives had shifted, unknowingly and irreversibly.Little Lola’s eyes turned red with tears.“Un… Uncle, did that bad man really want to kill you?” she asked, her voice trembling.Xavier’s heart softened. He forced a gentle smile and reached out, ruffling her hair.“He wanted to,” he said lightly. “But he can’t.”His confident tone might’ve reassured the little girl, but to the others, it sounded li
Chapter 537 – Xavier’s Disbelief
*****“Gather four of our elite shadows. I want the Myron estate surrounded within the next five minutes.”‘Huh?’The agent’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing Ayra’s words.“Are we… planning to confront Bloodfang Viper, the A-ranked fighter, directly?” he asked hesitantly.For the first time since his report, a faint smile tugged at Ayra’s lips. Not one of amusement, but of mild exasperation.“Have you all lost your wits?” she said dryly, rolling her eyes. “Do I look suicidal to you?”Even though the man’s face remained hidden in the shadows, a wave of embarrassment rippled off him like heat. If he had been standing in the light, the crimson blooming across his cheeks would have betrayed him instantly.But Ayra didn’t dwell on it. It was a rhetorical jab—one that spoke volumes about her state of mind. She was back in control now, and her intellect was fully engaged.“Monitor the situation closely. Do not engage unless I command it directly,” she said firmly.She paused, thi
Chapter 536 – Mistress Ayra’s Directive
*****At the same time, inside a dimly lit, hushed, and shadowy room, cloaked in gloom…At this moment, an oppressive silence blanketed the room, broken only by the soft, wavering crackle of candlelight that threw long, twitching shadows against the stone walls.The flickering flame danced with restless energy, painting the air with unease.Mistress Ayra, the once calm, alluring bartender who had served Xavier with such grace and warmth some days ago, stood at the heart of the shadows. But tonight, the composed façade that had defined her presence was completely unraveled.Now, gone was the serene mask of poise and calculated detachment. In its place surged an intense, visible nervousness.She paced restlessly across the creaking wooden floor, her footsteps light but erratic. Every few seconds, her hands clenched into trembling fists before relaxing again. Her pulse thundered in her ears, each beat thudding like a war drum against her ribcage.Her usually sharp eyes flicked tow
Chapter 535 – I Can Kill Two Birds with One Stone
*****Sage Myron had stared death in the face just last night, but back then, he had faced it with a cocktail of defiance, anger, and a tinge of hopelessness. Even in the shadow of death, he hadn’t truly been afraid.But now?Now, his fear had evolved into something else entirely… paralyzing helplessness.‘He’s an A-rank fighter… for the love of all things sacred, we provoked a walking calamity!’ Sage Myron’s inner voice howled in disbelief.In an instant, his eyes turned bloodshot as the gruesome scene replayed again and again in his mind—guards torn apart like rag dolls, their dismembered limbs scattered across the courtyard like discarded trash, their blood decorating the ancient stones like cursed paint.For the first time in decades, the venerable patriarch and sage felt powerless.Truly powerless.A creeping, devastating sense of worthlessness seeped into his bones. He even began to wonder if perhaps he should have died the night before. Maybe then, this wouldn't have ha
