Who the hell are you!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The smile on Nolan’s face vanished, replaced by a cold, indifferent expression. He gave Jack a brief glance before asking Masha, \"Did this guy hurt you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Masha timidly turned toward Jack. \"Yeah, Brother Nolan. He choked me and said he’d sell me to a slave trader.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her grip around Nolan’s neck tightened. To Masha, who had never seen the outside world, Jack looked truly terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only had he beaten the old baker, but he had also strangled her and threatened to sell her to a slave trader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Masha knew what slavery was. Her sister had told her it was an illicit practice where a person was turned into someone else’s property.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she didn’t fully understand the bigger picture, it was still terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nolan’s expression darkened once more. His gaze sharpened as he spoke with killing intent. \"You’ve crossed the line. Now then, how would you like to die?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His arrogant words shocked everyone present. They knew how powerful Jack was. That man was no mere human—he was a monster!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet none of them dared to say it aloud. Otherwise, they would only invite trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha!\" Jack burst into laughter, covering half his face with his left palm. \"How arrogant! But I like it. It’s been a long time since anyone treated me this way. Honestly, I missed it, you know?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bones in his right wrist, previously crushed by Nolan, had already recovered—as if they had never been injured at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nolan noticed, but he didn’t care. With his sharp eyesight, he could see that Jack was indeed no ordinary human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He possessed incredible powers—stamina, strength, and healing—that far surpassed the average human. Cases like this weren’t rare; even many soldiers in the imperial palace were like Jack, some even stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, this was a fantasy world, where impossible things could truly happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Nolan’s silence, Jack’s laughter faded, and his face turned grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it! Just because you’re a noble, you think you can look down on me?\" he roared. \"People like you are the most ignorant! Today I’ll show you the consequences of messing with me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clenched both fists and lunged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To others, his movements seemed fast, but in Nolan’s eyes, they were slower than a snail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Danger! Young man, run!\" The old baker shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know Nolan, but seeing how close he was to Masha, he assumed he must be her relative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Run? Hahaha! Too late!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack was already right in front of Nolan. With a swing of his right fist aimed at Nolan’s face, one solid hit could have killed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heavy punch was blocked with ease. Jack’s eyes widened in horror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You—\" Before he could finish, Nolan had already seized his fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crunch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of bones shattering echoed, making Jack scream in agony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Argh! It hurts! Damn it! Let go! Argh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His howl sent chills down everyone’s spine, yet at the same time, they felt a grim satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack had tormented them for far too long. Rarely did they get to witness him suffer like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let go! Arghh!\" Jack wailed in agony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face turned pale, drool dripping from the corners of his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nolan gave him a faint smile and asked calmly, \"So, you want me to let go?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack was caught off guard. Enduring the excruciating pain, he nodded frantically. \"Yes! Please let go! I swear I won’t do it again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, it was a lie. The moment Nolan released him, Jack planned to strike again—this time, aiming a deadly blow at his left chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That strike could kill him instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about how wealthy Nolan might be, and the money hidden under his clothes, Jack grew even more eager.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint smile crept across his face. Unfortunately for him, his thoughts were far too easy to read.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a small sigh, Nolan glanced at Masha and said softly, \"Close your eyes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite her confusion, the little girl didn’t resist and quickly covered her eyes with both palms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack frowned, puzzled by Nolan’s behavior. But before he could react, Nolan released his grip on Jack’s fist—only to seize him tightly by the lower jaw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Jack’s confused and horrified gaze, Nolan activated the Eyes of Chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes transformed into a sun-and-star symbol, and Jack’s face froze in terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those eyes... the Singularity of Chaos!he screamed inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this world, who didn’t know the Singularity of Chaos?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of the seven, he was the strongest. Jack himself had witnessed it—though perhaps \"witnessed\" was too generous a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the catastrophe-level monster attack in the western region, Jack had merely happened to be there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the midst of despair, a figure appeared and slaughtered the monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still remembered clearly—the figure had worn a black mask that concealed his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But those strange, shining eyes—symbolizing the moon and the sun—were impossible to forget.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, those same eyes appeared before him. That could only mean one thing—this young man was the Singularity of Chaos!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I...\" He opened his mouth to speak, but suddenly his throat tightened as if choked by an unseen force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He struggled, but no sound came out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he realized—the flow of time around him had stopped. People stood frozen in silence, like lifeless statues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could even process the horror, black flames erupted from the air and engulfed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A... A...\" He tried to scream, but his voice was trapped in his throat. Tears streamed down his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At last, the black flames consumed him completely, reducing him to ashes. A moment later, time returned to normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was stunned. Jack had vanished—only a pile of black ash remained where he had once stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This...\" The old baker was at a loss for words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just seconds ago, Jack had been there. And now—gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze drifted toward Nolan, suspicion rising within him. But he dared not voice it and instead swallowed it in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All right, Masha. You can open your eyes now,\" Nolan said gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Masha lowered her hands and looked ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm? Where did the bad guy go, big brother?\" she asked in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nolan smiled and pinched her chubby cheeks. \"I’ve punished him, and he won’t be coming back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Masha didn’t really understand what \"won’t be coming back\" meant, but she was happy to hear it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother, you’re amazing!\" She giggled and planted a quick kiss on Nolan’s cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nolan chuckled softly and pinched her cheek in return. Then he asked what had happened, and Masha began to explain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later, Nolan finally understood. He turned toward the old baker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for giving my sister some bread, old man,\" he said politely with a small nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man was surprised but quickly smiled. \"You’re welcome, young master. The little girl was starving, so I simply did what I could.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing the man’s sincerity, Nolan smiled faintly. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a pouch of coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking over, he placed it into the old man’s palm. \"This is to cover the damage to your stall and to pay for the bread my sister ate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man was taken aback, but before he could refuse, Nolan gave him no chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a simple wave of his hand, Nolan’s figure vanished along with Masha—leaving everyone stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>",1222,"2026-05-30T06:57:16.338Z","2026-06-01T04:30:34.828Z",1,"novelbin.me","16fbc345fe4a60854521dca3eb21bb1bde5f5f581a8f6e78fdaa06aa1276332b","the-hidden-extra-the-lazy-prince-refuses-to-asce-chapter-265","the-hidden-extra-the-lazy-prince-refuses-to-asce-chapter-263",748,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-hidden-extra-the-lazy-prince-refuses-to-asce-cover.jpg"]
