Beyond the Gate: The Last Gozzaki

Chapter 98: The Weight of the Crown

“I’m leaving,” Xyron said, turning his back on the lifeless body of the former leader.

Lamar stared at him in disbelief. “He made you the head of the entire clan, and his death doesn’t even move you? Not even a little bit?”

Xyron stopped at the door, his voice cold as ice. “I didn’t ask for this throne, Lamar. And let’s be real—if this man hadn’t abandoned the clan and fled to America, my parents might still be alive today. He is the reason I grew up an orphan. You handle the funeral and the paperwork. My presence here is finished.”

As Xyron walked out of the villa, his phone erupted with notifications. The first call was from the Chairman.

“Xyron! Is the news true?” the Chairman’s voice boomed.

“What news?” Xyron asked, his heart skipping a beat. ‘Did he find out about the Titans?’

“The news that you are officially the Head of the Gozzaki Clan! It’s all over the internal networks!”

Xyron was stunned. “Wait, it just happened ten minutes ago. How do you already know?”

“Information travels fast when it involves an S-Rank taking over a legendary clan,” the Chairman laughed. “Congratulations, Leader Xyron.”

Before Xyron could respond, a second call started waiting. It was Maki. He quickly switched lines. “Hey, Maki, look, I’m sorry I left without—”

“Forget that!” Maki shouted, her voice high with excitement. “Congratulations, Head of the Gozzaki Clan! You’re famous!”

“How does everyone know already?!” Xyron groaned.

“Kim and Yuhima are here at the house too,” Maki continued. “We all saw the announcement. But anyway… do you know what tomorrow is?”

Xyron blanked. “Tomorrow? Uh… Thursday?”

The silence on the other end was deafening. “Are you serious, Xyron?”

Suddenly, a shadow flickered near Xyron’s ear. Kage whispered from the darkness: “My Lord… tomorrow is Maki-san’s birthday. March 25th.”

“Oh! Of course!” Xyron shouted into the phone. “Tomorrow is your birthday, Maki! How could I forget?”

“Do you really remember, or did someone just tell you?” Maki asked suspiciously.

“I remembered! Totally! Anyway, I’ve gotta go, bye!” Xyron hung up before she could grill him further.

He tried to walk down the street to clear his head, but it was impossible. Within seconds, a swarm of news reporters and fans surrounded him. Microphones were shoved into his face and cameras flashed from every angle.

“Mr. Gozzaki! What is your first move as the new Leader?” “Mr Xyron Gozzaki! Can we get a photo?!” “Is it true you’re opening the clan to non-blood members?”

Xyron was trapped. For the first time, his S-Rank powers couldn’t help him escape the one thing he hated most: the spotlight.

Editor’s Comment:

Xyron is now a public figure, which makes his secret involvement with the Titans Group nearly impossible to hide. The “New Gozzaki” rule he established in the previous chapter has already leaked, and the world is reacting. But the real challenge isn’t leading a clan—it’s surviving Maki’s wrath if he doesn’t pull off a legendary birthday surprise tomorrow.
