Chapter 695 – Xavier’s Disappointment and Relief
******God’s Time’s voice was steady and sincere, as though he were reciting a sacred vow passed down from his ancestors. Even his posture on the bed straightened, like he was preparing to receive an honorary medal.Xavier blinked slowly, still processing. Then he opened his mouth to speak, but it was like his brain and mouth had declared war, and communication had broken down.‘This man turned down a dream salary which millions would die to have… because of a vague promise I made when I didn’t even have a job lined up for him?’That thought alone echoed through Xavier’s skull like someone banging pots in a cathedral.Moments earlier, he had been genuinely thrilled for God’s Time when the man mentioned getting a well-paying job. His excitement had been twofold… first, because the old man deserved good fortune after everything he had endured… but more importantly?It was due to relief. Sweet and glorious relief.The truth was, Xavier had come to check on God’s Time and give him
Chapter 694 – Xavier’s Speechlessness
******Xavier wiped the tears forming at the corners of his eyes. “Come on. You really think I’m that petty? And what is this... a reality show where contestants swear loyalty unto death?”Still chuckling, he continued, “Look. My job offer was my way of showing support… giving you a second chance, not shackling you to me forever. If something better came along, and I mean a six-figure after-tax better… you’d be crazy not to take it!”“But…” Selene hesitated, clearly still embarrassed.“No ‘but’,” Xavier said firmly, now grinning. “What matters is that you’re safe, you’re healthy, and now you’re finally being rewarded for the hell you’ve survived.”The couple exchanged glances... long, silent, and wide-eyed. It was the kind of stare two partners give each other after surviving a car crash or narrowly escaping a loan shark.They had both been bracing for Xavier’s reaction all day, chewing on their lips and each other’s nerves ever since the offer arrived that morning.It had felt
Chapter 693 – The Couple’s Unfounded Anxiousness
******“I didn’t mean to interrupt your little lovey-dovey paradise,” Xavier said at last, his voice laced with a mischievous lilt, the corner of his lips twitching upward.Selene’s cheeks instantly flushed a dangerous shade of crimson. Her hands flew to her face as if that would somehow hide her from the humiliation. “We weren’t…! I mean…! It’s not like that…!”God’s Time, however, grinned from ear to ear, puffing out his chest like a rooster that had just won the village brawl. “You didn’t interrupt a thing, Young Master Xavier. You simply caught us… Practicing marital wellness.”Xavier tilted his head, unimpressed but clearly entertained. “Practicing, huh? I could’ve sworn it looked like you were about to win the Olympic gold in public affection.”God’s Time chuckled proudly, while Selene practically combusted on the spot.Rolling his eyes at the old man’s unapologetic pride, Xavier stepped further into the room. “Looks like you’re already on the mend... the mummy wrappings a
Chapter 692 – The Lovey-Dovey Couple
*****Right now, God’s Time was perched on the bed, dramatically clutching his chest as if declaring his final will, while Selene stood over him, waving a spoon and threatening to stuff him with soup.“Eat this,” she said, brandishing the spoon like it was a divine sword. “Or I swear, I’ll call the nurse with the cold injections.”“Woman, I just survived near-death! And now you want to assassinate me with spinach broth? Where’s the compassion? Where is the love? Where is the romance?” he gasped, grabbing his bandaged elbow like it held the last remnants of his strength.Selene let out a snort. “Love and romance won’t fix an iron deficiency. Open your mouth now.”“Why are you like this?” God’s Time cried dramatically. “When I married you, you were gentle, kind…”“…and your hairline was still full and perfectly straight back then,” Selene muttered dryly.Hearing this, God’s Time clutched his chest as though he had just suffered emotional damage. “That’s… that’s below the belt, wo
Chapter 691 – I’m Very Annoying
*****“What’s the time now?” Xavier mumbled absently to himself after a moment, pulling his phone from his pocket.The screen lit up.6:32 p.m.Xavier stared at it, mildly offended, then… “What? Only six-thirty?” he exclaimed. “And here I was thinking it had to be at least eight.”He sighed, then shook his head like a man betrayed by time itself.Grace had told him earlier that she would be working overtime. Their agreed meeting time wasn’t until 9:30 p.m., and the party itself wouldn’t start until ten.Which meant… nearly three hours to kill.Xavier stood there for a moment, deliberating like a man choosing between dinner options. “I can’t go home,” he mumbled. “Too much stress for too little reward.”The thought of the journey back into Oceanview Estate… changing vehicles multiple times, needing to contact the assigned vehicle in Oceanview, and having to wait, made him physically recoil.It felt like someone had offered him a free vacation to Hell, but with paperwork and a
Chapter 690 – Big Boss With a Title
*****Once outside the pub, Xavier halted, his feet planting firmly on the quiet pavement as he took in the eerie stillness of the street.The area that would have already been bustling with life… laughter, chatter, and drunkards slurring songs off-key while spilling ale on their cloaks on other days, was now subdued, like a stage stripped of actors after the curtain’s final fall.It was unnatural, unsettling even. But Xavier… didn’t bat an eye.He just stood there, staring into the evening haze like a man trying to solve an equation with no variables.Nothing about his expression betrayed what was spiraling through his head… no confusion, no urgency. Just… silence and utter stillness.He hadn't come here today to inherit a fallen empire.He had come with two simple goals: One, find the person who had dared to send an assassin after him, and return the favor with extreme enthusiasm.And two, confirm whether the group called Nightshadow Force was truly connected to the Nightsha
