22: Beyond the Gate: The Last Gozzaki Chapter 22: Shadows of the Past and the X-Rank Omen 22: Beyond the Gate: The Last Gozzaki Chapter 22: Shadows of the Past and the X-Rank Omen Chapter 22: Shadows of the Past and the X-Rank Omen Xyron lay in a pool of his own blood, his breathing shallow and ragged.

Chairman Lee looked down, his face twisting in disgust as he saw the dark red stains ruining his expensive leather shoes.

“Filthy brat,” the Chairman growled.

He delivered a final, brutal kick to Xyron’s stomach, sending him sliding across the floor.

Yujo watched from the side, his eyes cold and satisfied.

‘This is it,’ he thought.

‘Xyron Gozzaki won’t survive the night.

Once he’s dead, my secret humiliation dies with him.’ But as the Chairman raised his foot for another strike, he stopped.

He looked at Xyron’s pale, trembling body, and a sudden, sharp memory pierced through his rage like a needle.

[Flashback – 16 Years Ago] Long before he was the Chairman, Lee was just a high-ranking knight and the best friend of Hayato Gozzaki.

One afternoon, he had visited the Gozzaki household.

He walked in to find a horrifying scene.

Hayato, with eyes full of madness, was brutally beating a 2-year-old Xyron.

The toddler was bleeding, crying out in a voice that was already fading.

“STOP!” Lee had roared, rushing forward to pull Hayato away.

He scooped the tiny, broken child into his arms, protecting him.

“Have you lost your mind, Hayato?

He’s just a baby!

If he’s born weak, that’s not his fault!

You can’t kill your own son!” Hayato had only growled, “A weak Gozzaki is better off dead.” [Present Day – Chairman’s Office] The Chairman snapped back to reality.

He looked at his hands and then at Xyron, who had now lost consciousness.

A wave of intense guilt washed over him.

‘I saved him from his father’s hands back then…

only to break him with my own hands today?

What have I become?’ “Yujo,” the Chairman said, his voice suddenly hollow.

“Sir?” Yujo stepped forward, expecting the order to finish the job.

“Heal him.

Now.” Yujo froze, his jaw dropping.

“But sir, we haven’t gotten the full truth yet!

He—” “I said HEAL HIM!” the Chairman bellowed, his S-Rank aura shaking the room.

Trembling, Yujo summoned his soul energy and began to close Xyron’s wounds.

The internal bleeding stopped, and the broken bones began to knit back together, though Xyron remained in a deep, dark sleep.

[Scene Shift: Beijing, China – Hunter League Headquarters] Across the border, in a massive high-tech hall, the atmosphere was even more tense.

The Chinese Chairman sat at the head of a long obsidian table.

Surrounding him were ten S-Rank Knights, the strongest warriors in the country.

“I’ve called this emergency meeting for one reason,” the Chinese Chairman began, his voice grave.

“Our sensors on the Pakistan-China border have detected something impossible.

A soul energy signature that exceeds the S-Rank scale.” The S-Rank knights whispered among themselves, their faces turning pale.

“It is a 100% certainty,” the Chairman continued.

“The world’s first X-Rank Portal is preparing to open.

If it does, no single nation can stop it.

We will need an international alliance—Pakistan, and at least 4 to 8 other neighboring countries must send their strongest S-Rank knights.” “The good news is that we have time,” he added, leaning forward.

“The gate is still stabilizing.

But if we fail to close it the moment it opens…

the world as we know it will cease to exist.

Prepare yourselves.

The era of the X-Rank is upon us.” Editor’s Comment: The plot thickens!

We finally see a human side to the Chairman—his past friendship with Hayato and the guilt of almost killing the boy he once saved.

But while Xyron heals, a global catastrophe is brewing.

An X-Rank portal is a threat that makes everything else look like a playground.

Will Xyron be the key to stopping this “World-Ender,” or will the Association keep him locked away until it’s too late?
