Chapter 908 – Nico and His Father’s Excitement
*****Upon hearing his father’s question, Nico, whose entire being was screaming, “Please let me sleep,” managed a sluggish nod.Then, with his body feeling like it was made of concrete, he moved toward his father, each step heavier than the last.His steps were heavy, his movements sluggish and drained, as though the air around him had turned dense… until at last, he slumped into the chair opposite the old man with a muffled groan.Earlier that day, after the old man had dismissed the meeting, everyone else in the mansion had gone straight to bed… his wife, his children, and even the maids had vanished into the quiet of their rooms.But Nico? He hadn’t been so fortunate.Barely two hours into what might have been his first real sleep in more than a day, one of his father’s servants came pounding on his door with the urgency of a burning house, announcing that the patriarch wanted him to get ready and come immediately.Since then, he hadn’t had a single moment to breathe, let a
Chapter 909 – The Patriarch’s Plan
*****Finished speaking excitedly, Nico couldn’t help but stare at his father as though seeing him for the first time… not as the aging patriarch of their family, but as some mythic figure cloaked in brilliance and menace, one whose true identity he had just discovered.His eyes gleamed with unrestrained admiration, reflecting the sharp light of revelation.In that moment, he looked like a man who had just discovered his lifelong hero had secretly been a chess grandmaster, puppet master, and god of strategy all rolled into one.Across the desk, the elderly man sat regal and composed, his sharp gaze shimmering with quiet triumph.The faint smirk curling his lips was pure satisfaction… an expression so smug that it could have fueled its own power plant.There wasn’t even the slightest trace of remorse or hesitation in him, hearing the harm he had caused; only the simmering pride of a man whose chaos had unfolded exactly as intended.“So…” the old man
Chapter 910 – The Patriarch’s Plan II
***** At this moment, Nico sat frozen like a statue, his mouth slightly open, and his brain buffering. Then, slowly, his eyes widened in disbelief, realization dawning on him like the sunrise after a long storm. In the following second, his lips trembled, and before he could stop himself, he blurted, “That’s… that’s so… so fucking smart!” The words slipped out of his mouth before he knew it. But in the next second… a second that felt horrifying, Nico panicked, slapping both hands over his mouth as he realized the language he had used before his father. His face even became pale as he awaited the inevitable scolding. But instead, his father did the unthinkable. He laughed. A deep, rich, and genuine laugh… rare and startling enough to make Nico blink in disbelief. “Hahaha!” The old man actually threw his head back, amusement echoing across the study like thunder rolling over calm waters.
Chapter 911 – An Unexpected Development
*****“You could see through their level of scheming?” he asked incredulously, his tone almost reverent. “You’re like... like some kind of devil who reads minds!”The old man smirked again, clearly pleased, but said nothing.But just at that moment, a thought seemed to cross Nico's mind.And in the following second, his expression seemed to sober just a little. “But, Father…” he began hesitantly, “what about their image? Those first-rank families are so obsessed with their reputation. Wouldn’t they avoid taking back their words? After all, it would make them seem unreliable... like the kind of power that would kick others when they are already down."For a moment, pin-drop silence enveloped the study. Then the old man’s smirk returned, sharper and colder this time.He raised a single finger.“Number one,” he said calmly, “when power reaches their level, the risk of reputation damage becomes laughably low, after all, their name is already too big to
Chapter 912 – The Patriarch’s Fury
*****Still inside the Oriens patriarch’s study…The air was so heavy at this moment that it could have been mistaken for smoke; a heavy, thick, and suffocating silence wrapped itself around the room, pressing down on both men like a storm cloud ready to burst.Neither Nico nor his father spoke, and neither even breathed loudly. Instead, they simply stared at the cell phone lying on the desk as though it were a venomous thing.The insider’s words kept repeating in their minds, echoing endlessly like a bell tolling in a tomb.In fact, for several drawn-out seconds… perhaps minutes, the world itself seemed to stall. Then suddenly…“You… did you just say that little witch has caved under pressure?” Nico’s voice tore through the silence like a whip crack.His face twitched with disbelief, his breath came faster, and his eyes sparkled alive with a strange mix of hope and excitement.The old man turned his head sharply toward him, his gaze unreadable.But he didn’t speak. Instead,
Chapter 913 – The Patriarch’s Fury II
*****On the line, the insider gulped audibly before stammering, “I… It was… it was her secretary, sir. She did it after saying she was going to call Miss Grace.”A silence followed… a thick, electric kind that made the temperature in the room plummet.The old man didn’t move and didn’t blink. But the air around him seemed to darken, his presence growing heavier by the second.Even Nico, who was accustomed to that aura, felt his stomach twist in dread as his father’s eyes, sharp enough to cut glass, gleamed with a cold realization that sent a chill crawling down his spine.‘So that’s what happened,’ the old man gritted his teeth. ‘Someone else… someone unexpected had moved a chess piece when I wasn’t paying attention.’The patriarch clenched his fists so hard until his knuckles cracked like breaking twigs, his jaw locking tighter as his teeth ground together with a low, harsh sound... like a beast struggling to remain caged. Witnessing this, Nico didn’t dare speak. He could fe
Chapter 914 – The Patriarch’s Intuition
*****The old man’s roar was so loud, so sudden, and so unexpected that Nico couldn’t help but flinch so violently that his chair creaked.“My… my fault?” he stammered, his voice trembling and his eyes wide.“Yes, your fault!” the old man thundered, slamming his palm against the desk so hard that the pens and teacups rattled. “I ordered you to take care of that piece of filth! I gave you the money, the resources, and everything you asked for… and yet that wretch is still breathing and swaggering about!”The words hit Nico like a whip. In the following second, his throat went dry, his heart hammering so loudly in his chest that he swore the old man could hear it.For a split second, he didn’t even understand. Instead, his thoughts scrambled, spinning wildly as he tried to piece together who his father meant… until an image flashed before his mind.That face… that detached, self-assured, and infuriatingly calm face.Xavier.The realization struck him like a lightning bolt, and i
Chapter 915 – The Old Man’s Frustration
*****Nico blinked several times after hearing his father’s words, his mind tripping over itself.For a long moment, his mouth opened… then promptly shut again, already picturing the consequences of saying the wrong thing.One careless remark or one hint of sarcasm, and he would probably end up on the floor with a concussion and a lecture about “family honor.”So, wisely, he opted for silence, only giving a small, respectful, and, most importantly, survival-driven nod.And soon, the room became heavy with tension… so thick that even the ticking clock sounded afraid to make noise.Then finally, after what felt like an eternity had passed, Nico cleared his throat, trying to test the waters.His voice came out steady, though his heart wasn’t. “So… Father,” he began cautiously, “how do you plan to handle this new development?”It was an innocent question… or at least, that’s what he thought.But the moment it left his mouth, however, his father’s face darkened like thunderclouds
Chapter 916 – The Old Man’s Newly Devised Plan
*****And seeing his son like this, the old man could only exhale sharply, glaring at him with the expression of a man questioning every life decision that led to this moment.His fingers clenched, and for a brief second, he looked genuinely tempted to bash his own head against the wall, incredibly frustrated.Finally, he massaged his temples, muttering under his breath before exhaling hard. “Forget it. Explaining things to you is like teaching a cat to swim.”Nico blinked in wounded silence.The old man continued, this time calmer… but only just. “Since we don’t know what they’re plotting and can’t afford to sit around waiting for it to unfold, we have no choice but to revise our plan.”“We strike first, and we strike fast. Otherwise, we risk losing our one real chance to destroy them right to the very grass.” His voice turned icy. “If we can’t have it, then no one can. That’s the rule.”The moment the old man finished uttering this… an eerie, terrifying, vicious, and ruthless
Chapter 917 – Xavier’s Calmness Before Action
*****Meanwhile, back at Villa Number One, Xavier was already moving.The moment he hung up with Dorothy, he wasted no time; instead, his focus switched entirely.He strode back to the room where Grace was sleeping… his movements swift and deliberate, and placed her cell phone on the nightstand.But the moment he realized that the battery icon was already blinking red, like a faint distress signal, he plugged it into the charger, switched it to “Do Not Disturb,” and ensured the screen dimmed.Then he paused, his eyes softening as they lingered on Grace’s peaceful face.She was still out cold, her breathing steady, and her lashes trembling slightly with each exhale.The exhaustion in her face told a story he didn’t need words to understand.For a fleeting second, something tight coiled in Xavier’s chest… a quiet mix of relief and guilt. Then, with a faint sigh, he tore his gaze away.He had things to handle.Even if he had to go out of his way and comfort zone for her, he wou
