***** “I was thinking I would work a few more months, add to the money the Blackwood already gave us. That way, I can buy a proper house somewhere decent and somewhere I can finally give my children the life I promised them when I left the village.” As God’s Time finished speaking, he lowered his gaze, avoiding Xavier’s expression as anxiety crawled up his spine. 'What if he thinks I’m stalling? Or trying to dodge responsibility?' The thought burned into his mind like acid. ‘What if he believes I lied just to keep my kids away?’ But then… Xavier smiled, the same rare, inexplicably reassuring smile. “I understand your dilemma,” he said, nodding his head. “How about this? Once you’re feeling a bit stronger, you and your wife can go find your dream house. Pick anywhere and anywhere. I’ll pay for it upfront.” God’s Time’s breath caught in his throat. “But…” Xavier continued before the man could interrupt, “I’ll deduct five percent of your salary every month until you finish paying me back. No interest and no pressure.” And then… silence. Once again, that crushing silence fell over the couple… so thick it felt like time had stopped and the universe itself was holding its breath, like some cruel cosmic joke they couldn’t begin to understand. It lasted for several seconds. Then Selene let out a noise… something between a gasp and a hiccup, and her body shook violently. God’s Time, on the other hand, opened his mouth, but no words came out. Instead, he just stared at Xavier as if he had grown a halo and wings. Then it happened… The couple erupted… not gently, not delicately, but with the force of a full-blown, meltdown-level emotional explosion. Selene let out a wail so raw that if not for the soundproofed ward, a neighbor three blocks away would probably clutch her chest and say, “Someone’s winning a lottery over there.” Tears gushed from her face like two rivers having a breakdown. God’s Time gripped his own skull with both hands, shaking it furiously like he was trying to make sure this wasn’t a hallucination brought on by his injury. They broke down into sobs again... raw, heaving, and chest-wracking cries that cared nothing for dignity or how you looked. It was grief, joy, relief, and disbelief all colliding in one overwhelming emotional outburst. Their dream of owning a home had quietly died a long time ago, buried under debts, and forgotten in the endless grind. God’s Time had chosen that name for himself because he genuinely believed in the saying, “God’s time is the best.” It was the reason he had never done anything illegal... because he trusted that when the time was right, everything would fall into place. But with how life had unraveled for him and his wife, especially since they reached the city, that belief had withered. And he had stopped seeing the saying as faith, just a comforting fantasy that never came true. Yet here… here someone has not just offered to resurrect that dream and fate, but is offering a lifeline to reach it without chains attached. They dropped to their knees again before Xavier could even stop them, their hands clutched together as if in prayer, as they thanked him repeatedly, each gratitude louder and wetter than the last. “Thank you, Master!” “Thank you, sir!” “May heaven build you a golden mansion in this life and the next!” Xavier ran a hand over his face. It was clear he was starting to lose the battle with his own patience. He waved a hand. “Alright, alright, that’s enough. Please, I’m going to develop a headache if you both keep crying like this. I’m serious.” But the couple didn’t stop... they couldn’t. They wept like toddlers being handed ice cream after a lifetime of watching it melt in other people’s hands. Finally, amidst the emotional wreckage, God’s Time raised his trembling head and said, “Master, I promise you with every drop of blood in my veins, I will never let you regret this. Never. I’ll work harder than anyone. I’ll be loyal forever, and even if a bullet comes, I’ll throw myself in the way for you without hesitation!” Xavier, “_” There was a long pause, then he blinked once, twice, and… Very slowly, he rolled his eyes in exaggerated disbelief and gave God’s Time a look, like he had just suggested he would wrestle a lion before breakfast. “First of all,” he said flatly, “you don’t need to call me Master. Xavier is fine.” His face crumpled into exasperated disbelief. “And secondly, you don’t need to take any bullets.” …. [Author’s Note] A big thank you to all the devoted readers of RFP!

Chapter 1653 – The Number One Enemy
*****She studied him with the playful intensity of someone examining an unfamiliar piece on a chessboard, wondering what would happen if she pushed it a little further.“The only conclusion,” she continued slowly, “is that he is either a fool who doesn't know when to back down…”Her smile widened.“…or he has something he relies on.”Her subordinates exchanged cautious glances, each of them understanding exactly what was happening.They had served her for long enough to know that whenever their mistress became genuinely interested in something, peace usually became the first casualty.This level of curiosity was even more dangerous because the Demoness rarely became this intrigued without eventually turning her interest into entertainment.Their gazes slowly shifted toward Xavier, brimming with genuine pity.‘Blame yourself for catching the mistress’s interest.’Just as the subordinates were thinking this, the Demoness spoke again.“Little brother, are you really sure you want to bid
Chapter 1652 – The Demoness’s Intensified Interest
*****For a moment that felt like an eternity, the entire auction house fell into such profound silence that the faint sound of people swallowing could almost be heard.Hundreds of powerful cultivators stared toward the same direction, their expressions frozen somewhere between disbelief and outrage, as though the entire hall had collectively forgotten how to breathe.No one had expected this.Since Celestial Pearl began its auction… years ago, countless treasures had changed hands, enormous sums of money had been thrown around, and powerful figures had competed against one another. Yet a situation like this had never occurred before.No matter how audacious someone from the Lower Realm was, absolutely none of them had ever dared to openly wage a bidding war against the people of the Upper Realm.It was not merely reckless.It was practically the same as writing an invitation letter to your own funeral, sealing it with your blood, and personally delivering it to the executioner.The d
Chapter 1651 – Xavier’s Irritation
*****The Demoness accepted the document and casually flipped through the pages. At first, her expression remained indifferent. Then her eyes paused.A hint of surprise flashed across her beautiful face.That surprise quickly transformed into interest.Then amusement.By the time she finished reading, the corners of her lips had already curled upward.She slowly raised her eyes and glanced toward Xavier again. This time, there was a distinctly playful glint in them, as though she had just discovered something entertaining.“As far as I can tell,” she said leisurely, her voice carrying through the auction hall, “Riverton City is nothing more than a backwater city without a single A-rank fighter.”Silence descended.The words were simple, but their effect was anything but.The Demoness casually dropped the document onto the table and leaned back into the couch, looking completely satisfied with herself. She didn't explain further. She didn't need to.She simply watched Xavier with open
Chapter 1650 – The Demoness
*****Matthew stared at Xavier through the one-way window of his private room, his face strangely blank.For several seconds, he didn't move.It was as though his mind had encountered an unexpected wall and had no idea how to climb over it.‘An A-rank backer?’His fists slowly tightened.If that was true, then things had become considerably more complicated.The two B-rank bodyguards standing behind him exchanged a glance.Neither spoke, but both men released a quiet breath internally.What a ridiculous turn of events.Neither had anticipated this development.More importantly, both of them silently thanked whatever fortunate stars were still willing to watch over them.They had almost attacked earlier.If they had actually laid hands on Xavier and his companions, they might have already created an unnecessary conflict with the A-rank powerhouse backing Xavier.Even if that mysterious powerhouse eventually backed down after discovering that Matthew's father was also an A-rank fighter,
Chapter 1649 – The Auction’s Assumption
*****Whether they wanted to pay attention to him or not, everyone in the Upper Realm had heard Xavier’s voice repeatedly during the first phase.However, no one had expected to hear it again in the second phase.This was the Upper Realm's battlefield, the place where tens of hundreds of millions would be thrown around without hesitation, and a place where someone like Xavier wasn’t supposed to participate.Yet he had just done exactly that.For a moment that felt almost eternal, nobody moved, blinked, or spoke.Slowly, one gaze after another turned toward the source of the voice.Until every eye in the Lower Realm landed on Xavier.Their hearts seemed to leap straight into their throats.‘He… he actually bid?’The thought repeated through countless minds.They stared at him so intensely that it was almost as though they were hoping the scene would somehow change.It didn't.Xavier was still sitting there calmly, his bidding card in hand, his expression composed.The realization sent
Chapter 1648 – The Upper Realm Battlefield
*****“$21,000,000!”A clear yet excited voice rang out from one of the Upper Realm rooms.The entire hall fell silent once again.‘This…’The people in the Lower Realm stared toward the Upper Realm, their expressions changing completely.‘Did that person really just add another million dollars to the bid without even hesitating?’The thought alone was enough to make several people swallow nervously.‘So fucking wealthy!’Before the Lower Realm could fully process the shock, however, a mocking voice echoed from another private room.“So poor. I bid $25,000,000!”The entire Lower Realm went silent.‘Did he just call him poor?’Twenty-one million dollars.Poor.They stared blankly toward the Upper Realm, and just at that moment…“Did you just insult me?!” the first bidder spat furiously, his pride clearly wounded. “I bid $28,000,000!”“Hahaha! Now this is getting interesting.”A third voice joined the competition, sounding almost delighted by the escalating battle.“I bid $32,000,000!”
