*****

For a moment after Lucius’s words rang out, the entire hall fell into a heavy, awkward, and suffocating silence, dozens of heads turning toward him in disbelief, as though they couldn’t quite process that he had actually brought up the topic again.

But then, a look of understanding slowly dawned over a few faces, and in the next second, they smiled wryly in realization.

‘Ah… he’s trying to show off,’ they thought collectively. ‘Putting on a little display for her, and to show her how manly he is.’

And just like that, every pair of eyes turned back to Lyria.

Right now, she looked… stunned. Wait, no. Stunned didn’t even cover her present expression.

She was frozen at this moment, her lips parted slightly, and her blue eyes wide open, the shock in them so potent that it could have been painted across her forehead.

Seeing her like this, everyone instantly came to the same, utterly wrong conclusion. ‘She must be appalled to learn that the handsome person before her was a low-l

  • Chapter 757 – I’ve Already Marked All Your Faces

    ****Augustus looked ready to explode at this moment, causing half the crowd to instinctively lean back, as if expecting him to erupt in flames.Lyria, however, wasn’t impressed. If anything, the sight seemed to disgust her further.“Crashed your banquet?” she scoffed, her lip curling as if the words themselves were poison. She pointed back at the Scoan father and son, the gesture sharp as a blade. “You two clowns ruined your own banquet when you dared to humiliate the Master. Don’t twist things. If you want to blame anyone, it was you.”She let the silence hang for half a beat, then added, her voice dripping venom:“And honestly… it seems your family is really tired of living.”This was it.The crowd froze, their blood running cold. A collective shiver swept through the guests as their eyes widened and their ragged breaths filled the silence.Finally, all mouths hung open in stunned disbelief.‘Did she just… threaten the Scoan family?’The thought struck everyone at once, a

  • Chapter 756 – Augustus’s Rage

    ****The roar came so suddenly, so loud, and so unexpected, that the moment it echoed, everyone’s hearts jolted in their chests.Dozens of people stumbled back in the next instant, several others flinching, completely caught off guard by the voice and sound. They subconsciously turned toward the sound and… it came from Augustus.Right now, his face was completely twisted with fury, thick veins bulging at his temples.His eyes, cold, sharp, and brimming with disbelief were fixed on his kneeling son, his fists clenched so tight that his knuckles turned white.Augustus seemed to have lost his mind at this moment, acting as though he was seeing things which he refused to believe.“How… how could you, a mighty F-rank fighter, kneel to a nameless rat?!” His roar was so fierce that it rattled the dining sets on the tables and chandeliers alike. “How could you humiliate yourself to this degree, disgrace your rank, tarnish our family name, and even drag me into the mud along with you?!

  • Chapter 755 – How Could You kneel?!

    ****There are different kinds of silence.There’s the normal, ordinary silence… the simple absence of sound. And then there’s the abnormal silence.This one is the heavy, suffocating kind that feels alive. It wraps around throats and squeezes them until every breath turns sharp and shallow.It was the kind of silence where even your own heartbeat didn’t just thump in your chest… it thundered so loudly that it sounds like a war drum in your head, and the rush of blood in your veins roared like a storm against your eardrums.And this latter silence… it was the one that currently enveloped the grand hall.That’s right.At this moment, every single soul in the hall… whether noble or common, male or female, arrogant or meek, was frozen in place, appearing transfixed, and their gazes locked on one man...Lucius Scoan, the once-proud heir of the Scoan family, who was now on his knees, looking so horrified, pale, and trembling so violently that it looked as though his very bones had

    *****The weight of those words crashed through the hall like a physical blow, and in the next second, every heart lurched painfully into every throat, and the very air thickened, turning electric and suffocating.But the person who bore the brunt the most was none other than… Sarah.The moment Xavier’s voice sounded, it was as if an invisible sledgehammer had slammed into her chest.Her body jerked violently, and before she knew it, she was lifted off her feet and hurled backward several meters before she landed with a brutal thud, sprawled on the polished floor.And then… silence.A pin-drop, heavy, and suffocating silence enveloped everywhere.Every soul in the hall suddenly turned to Xavier, with wide, horrified eyes, staring at him as though he was no longer a man, but had turned to a terrifying demon wearing a human skin, their hearts racing frantically in their chests.By now, even the faintest trace of that calm, infuriating smile had vanished from his face. What repla

  • Chapter 753 – Are You Really That Tired of Living?

    *****The room stilled again, but this time it was a different kind of silence, all brows furrowing, and everyone filled with confusion.Xavier, however, ignored it all.Instead, he tilted his head slightly, his eyes narrowing on Sarah like she had just turned herself inside out before him.“Earlier,” he continued, his tone turning colder and quieter, “you said I was convicted for a crime so vile that even the devil would flinch.” His voice dropped lower. “Have you conveniently forgotten that I committed no crime?”The shift in his voice was like winter slamming through the hall.People actually shivered subconsciously and swallowed unconsciously.Xavier wasn’t smiling again. Not even the slightest trace of the earlier warmth could be seen on his face again.“I defended you from a sexual predator,” he spat, his voice hardening. “From a man who should have been the one on trial. But because I was a nobody, because his family knows someone in the court and is more powerful than

  • Chapter 752 – What’s He Talking About?

    *****At this moment, Sarah, who had been the tempest of rage, venom, viciousness, hatred, and spitefulness only moments ago, now stood frozen as if she had turned to stone.Her eyes were wide open, disbelief and dread battling across her face, while the sharp arrogance she had always worn was completely shattered like glass.Xavier didn’t speak immediately.Instead, he just stood there silent, his very presence pressing down heavier than the very air itself, letting the tension in the hall coil tighter… and tighter… until it seemed like the entire hall was a single heartbeat away from breaking apart.Then finally…“Isn’t it funny?” he spoke, his voice calm, soft, and almost conversational.But as soon as it sounded again, it was as though grenades had dropped.People flinched, their hearts skipping a beat in their chests.Sarah’s breathing, on the other hand, stuttered, her pulse hammering wildly in her neck.Xavier’s gaze locked solely on her, burning into her like twin br
