Chapter 600 The standoff stretched into a suffocating silence, one that pressed heavily on every soldier’s chest as their fingers tightened around triggers and their eyes remained locked onto the convoy, waiting for even the slightest movement that would justify unleashing destruction. Yet, contrary to what General Armen expected, Felix did not step out this time.Inside the lead vehicle, he remained seated, his expression calm and unreadable, as though the dozens of weapons aimed in his direction were nothing more than a trivial inconvenience. It was not fear that kept him still, but intent, an intent that had already been decided long before the first soldier raised his weapon. Then, without haste, the car door opened.Luthor stepped out alone. The moment his foot touched the ground, a subtle shift occurred in the atmosphere, one that many of the more experienced soldiers felt instinctively, though they could not explain it. It was as if the air had grown heavier, dens

Chapter602 The steady hum of engines echoed through the wide streets as Felix’s convoy advanced with unhurried precision, each vehicle moving in perfect synchronization as though guided by a single will, their dark exteriors reflecting the towering structures of the city while exuding an invisible pressure that caused even passersby to instinctively step aside, and within the lead vehicle, Felix sat in composed silence, his gaze calm yet distant as if the events unfolding ahead had already been decided long before they arrived. It did not take long before the convoy reached the expansive city square, a place that had already been prepared for a grand public address, where banners fluttered in the wind and a massive stage stood at the center, surrounded by a sea of people who had gathered under the scorching light, their murmurs blending into a restless buzz as anticipation filled the air. Almost at the same moment Felix’s convoy approached the central junction leading into the sq

Chapter604 The suffocating pressure that had gradually descended upon the checkpoint did not fade even after the shouting and insults had momentarily ceased, but instead continued to deepen in a quiet and oppressive manner that made the air feel heavier with every passing second. Although the state security guards tried to maintain their composure, the unease in their hearts had already begun to grow into something far more serious, something that their instincts warned them they could not handle. Inside the armored vehicle, the Governor sat with a dark and increasingly irritated expression, his fingers tapping slowly against the armrest as his thoughts churned restlessly, because although he had built his authority over the state through years of dominance and control, the situation unfolding before him no longer felt like something he could suppress with mere commands or intimidation, and yet, rather than choosing caution, his pride pushed him toward escalation. After a brie

Chapter606 The silence that followed the Governor’s apology was heavy and suffocating, pressing down on everyone present as though the air itself had become unwilling to move, and in the center of that silence stood Felix, his expression cold and completely unreadable, his gaze fixed on the Governor in a way that made it clear that whatever came next would not be influenced by fear, pleading, or authority. The Governor remained slightly bowed, his body tense and his mind racing, as he waited for a response that he already knew would not be merciful, because the moment he had recognized Felix, he had also understood that the situation had gone far beyond something that could be resolved with a simple apology. Felix finally spoke. His voice was calm.Flat. Devoid of emotion. “Your apology…”There was a brief pause. “…is too late.” The words landed with finality, leaving no room for negotiation or misunderstanding, and before the Governor could even attempt to say anything else,

Chapter 608 After leaving behind the blood stained checkpoint and the suffocating tension of the city square, Felix’s convoy moved forward without hesitation, the engines of the twenty luxury vehicles humming in smooth unison as they cut through the main roads of the state with an authority that no one dared to challenge, and although the chaos they left behind was still unfolding in whispers and rumors, none of it followed them, as if the mere act of moving away from that place had drawn a firm line between their world and everything else. Inside the lead vehicle, silence lingered for a while. Not the tense silence of confrontation. But the quiet aftermath of something already resolved. Felix sat calmly, his expression composed as he gazed ahead through the windshield, his mind no longer occupied with the Governor or the events at the checkpoint, because to him, those things were insignificant, already discarded the moment they ended. Beside him, Serena leaned slightly back
