The Invincible Warlord’s Vengeful Awakening

Chapter 2

Chapter 2 It’s Him!

Snap!

The sharp sound of a slap broke the deadlock. In an instant, five clear fingerprints appeared on Beatrix’s face. Blood oozed from the corner of her mouth.

After a moment of shock, the pain on Beatrix’s face made her come back to her senses. She angrily shouted, “Xavier Cavanaugh, you… you… you useless piece of trash! How dare you hit me?”

The moment she finished cursing, five slaps sounded.

Xavier didn’t say anything. His response to Beatrix was a series of even more vicious slaps. The sound was like thunder, which meant that he had used much force.

Soon, Beatrix’s face swelled, her appearance totally unrecognizable. She collapsed to the ground, completely unconscious.

The Vanderbilt family’s bodyguards, upon seeing this, could no longer remain calm. They shouted and rushed over. At this point, Edward made a move. For a split second, he knocked down all the oncoming bodyguards.

When the Vanderbilt family members saw this, their faces suddenly darkened, their arrogance instantly extinguished.

Leopold, however, was still trying hard to appear calm. “You… You are not Xavier! Who… Who are you?” His voice trembling as if he had seen a ghost.

Xavier simply ignored his question. He held his sister’s body in his arms. As he passed by the child, he stopped in his tracks, saying, “Leopold Vanderbilt, I will spare your life today for the sake of the child, but I will come for you one day.” Then, he lowered his head and looked at Samantha’s pale face, murmuring, “Sammy, let me take you home…”

It wasn’t until Xavier had gone far away that everyone came back to their senses.

The corridor was now in an uproar.

The members of the Vanderbilt family were indignant, each one clamoring to kill Xavier.

“A bunch of idiots.” Leopold glanced at the bodyguards lying in disarray on the ground, a hint of gloom flashing in his eyes. The Xavier from several minutes ago was definitely not the Xavier he knew.

“Humph, the Vanderbilt family is the number one family in Oceanheim. Who the hell dares to offend me?” Leopold bellowed. “Wait and see, Xavier. I’ll kill you.”

Although it was midsummer, the cold wind still howled around the Eastern Suburb Cemetery. The cawing of crows could be heard from time to time, making people’s scalps tingle.

Xavier stood in front of the grave, his face calm and composed. Edward stood on the side, not saying a word.

Xavier squatted down and reached out, gently touching the photo of Samantha on the gravestone. His eyes were full of sorrow as he muttered under his breath, “Silly girl…Was it worth it?”

“Mr. Xavier, as long as you come back to the Cavanaugh family with me, we can easily destroy the entire Vanderbilt family…”

“Mr. Hernandez.” Edward’s words were cut off by Xavier. Xavier turned around, continuing with a cold smile on his face, “I will use my own power to destroy the Vanderbilt family.”

Edward was stunned for a second. He asked in confusion, “Mr. Xavier, but the Pemberley family…”

Edward stopped halfway through his sentence. In his opinion, although Xavier was now part of the Pemberley family, it was useless. Destroying the Vanderbilt family with just the help of the Pemberley family was nothing but a pipe dream.

In fact, Edward was not clear about Xavier’s identity. The information he had gathered about Xavier only showed that Xavier was the live-in son-in-law of the Pemberley family. Therefore, Edward believed that even with the help of a third-rate family like the Pemberley family, it was impossible for Xavier to overthrow the Vanderbilt family, a first-rate family in Oceanheim.

“Well, don’t you believe me, Mr. Hernandez?” Xavier grinned.

Edward shook his head straightforwardly. “I don’t think it’s possible.”

Xavier’s smile froze on his face.

“Never mind. Since I have regained my memory, there is no need to continue hiding…” said Xavier as he tilted his head to look at the tombstone again. In the photo, Samantha was smiling, but at the moment, his heart was bleeding.

“Sammy, I swear, even if I have to defy the whole world, I will get justice for you!”

Taking out his phone, Xavier hesitated for a moment before dialing a number. After the call was answered, a thunderous roar ripped through the sky.

“Warriors of the Heavenrage Legion! Show yourselves!”

At that moment, the sky over Oceanheim turned dark with thick clouds covering the sun. The entire city seemed to be plunged into the end of the world.

Outside Avaloria, in a primitive forest, a man in battle armor listened to the voice coming from his phone, his eyes bloodshot.

“It’s him! It’s him!” Tears streamed down his face. After the shock, he immediately shouted into the intercom, “First Battalion of the Heavenrage Legion, assemble!”

“Second Battalion, assemble!”

“Third Battalion, assemble!”

Sonorous roars echoed through the forest…

The next moment, the Warriors of the Heavenrage Legion, dressed in battle armor, assembled neatly in the center of the forest clearing. Under the leadership of the eight generals of the Heavenrage Legion, this army quickly disappeared into the primitive forest.

At the Pemberley Mansion, a boy in a T-shirt stood in front of the door, staring down the alley with his chin in his hands.

“Jenson, it’s time for dinner,” a woman called out as she walked out.

She had beautiful hair, a prominent nose, and enticing rosy lips. Her eyes were so charming as if they could stare into one’s soul.

Lucretia, the eldest daughter of the Pemberley family, was known as the most beautiful woman in Oceanheim. From NôvelDrama.Org.

“Mom, let’s wait for Dad to come back and eat together…”

At the mention of “Dad”, Lucretia’s body trembled, a hint of loneliness flashing in her eyes. “Okay.” She forced a smile and quietly sat down, her thoughts going back to six years ago.

It was her first time going to Starhaven to attend a business event. It was also the time she “accidentally” got drunk at the party and was “accidentally” assaulted by a stranger. When she woke up, the man had already left, leaving only a note with the name Cavanaugh on it. Later, she learned that the man who slept with her was the sole heir of the Cavanaugh family, one of the Eight Clans of Starhaven, all of whom the Pemberley family had to submit and look up to.

After that, Lucretia never received any news about that man. However, after she returned to the Pemberley family, something even more terrifying happened—she was pregnant.

However, under tremendous pressure, Lucretia eventually decided to give birth to the child. Jenson Cavanaugh was the name she gave her son.

Many years had passed, but she was still waiting for him, each day like torture to her.

“Dad is back. Dad is back…”

As Xavier’s figure appeared in the alley, Jenson quickly ran up to him.

“Jenson, did you miss me?” Xavier crouched down and hugged pulled Jenson into his arms.

“I missed you so much, Dad. Mom and I were waiting for you to come back for dinner.” Saying this, Jenson kissed Xavier on the cheek.

“You’re back,” said Lucretia.

“Yeah, I’m back.”

Back inside the house, Xavier saw several dishes on the table. All of them were his favorite home- cooked dishes.

“Lucretia, I’m sorry.” He walked up behind Lucretia and gently embraced her.

Lucretia’s body trembled slightly, and she instinctively tried to move away, almost dropping the fork in her hand. In the end, she stood still, letting Xavier embrace her.

“Dad, Mom, I want to be hugged too…” Jenson suddenly ran over and threw himself into their arms.

Xavier, with a loving expression on his face, lifted Jenson from Lucretia’s embrace, saying, “Jenson, let’s have dinner, and after that, we’ll watch your favorite cartoon together.”

“Wow, it’s great!” Jenson immediately wolfed down his food upon hearing the word “cartoon.”

Watching Xavier and Jenson being affectionate at the dinner table, Lucretia bit her lip, feeling a lump in his throat. “If only you were Jenson’s biological father…”

In a luxurious presidential suite of the Galaxy Hotel, Edward stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, and a sweet voice came from his phone.

“My brother… still doesn’t want to return to Starhaven, right?”

“Yes, Miss Yara.”

“He’s always so stubborn. Mr. Hernandez, get the ticket ready. I’ll go to Oceanheim in three days.”

“Miss Yara, are you coming in person?” Edward raised his voice.

The voice on the other end of the phone fell silent for a moment before continuing, “Mr. Hernandez, send me the information about the Vanderbilt family. This is ridiculous. How dare the Vanderbilt family bully my brother?”

After hanging up, Edward immediately sent the collected information about the Vanderbilt family to Yara.

At the same time, inside a majestic courtyard house in Starhaven, a stunning woman’s lips curved slightly into a smile. “Xavier, with me around, no one can bully you.”
