Heidi, whose thoughts had been entirely occupied with the task Joseph entrusted to her, hurried back to work the moment dinner ended.With Joseph’s approval, she began uploading the video through her various accounts and channels.“Well? Any reaction yet?”Joseph asked not long after.“It’s still being posted—give it a moment, Professor Wilson.”Heidi remained focused on her screen, not even lifting her head.“Alright, take your time. I’ve got some things to handle as well—I’ll step away for a bit.”“If you need anything, just call me.”Joseph said to her.“Okay.”Heidi responded softly.“Oh, right. Don’t head back tonight—it’ll be too late. Just stay here.”Remembering how she had spent the entire afternoon working for him and rushing back and forth, Joseph added.“Ah… alright. I wasn’t planning to leave anyway.”Heidi replied.“Don’t worry, Professor Wilson—we’ll take good care of your little cabbage.”Mason Alvarez said with a playful grin.“Ahem… I’ll go get busy.”Hearing Mason’s

“What does that prove? It proves they are the true executioners—the ones who caused General Eugene Wilson’s death. That is why they kept it hidden. And secrecy only betrays a guilty conscience.”“Well said. The truth behind this is terrifying. A general who rendered unparalleled service to the nation was murdered and then labeled as ‘missing.’”“I followed General Eugene Wilson from my early twenties. He was seven or eight years older than me—a truly decent man. Despite his high rank, he was approachable, lived simply, and carried himself with humility. Perhaps it was precisely because he refused to collude with certain people that he was eliminated.”“…”In less than twenty minutes, the top comment alone had already amassed over thirty thousand replies—an astonishing level of engagement, and it was still climbing rapidly.“Let me break down who this To

“Young Master, what should we do now?”Wayne Gutierrez’s trusted aide asked.“Before you came in, I had already been monitoring the developments online. The situation is clearly spiraling beyond control.”“This won’t just ferment online—its repercussions will spread far and wide.”“For instance, the southern frontier army.”Wayne Gutierrez spoke with a grave expression.“The southern frontier army?”His aide froze for a moment.“You don’t seriously think that just because Eugene Wilson has been dead for years, his influence over the southern frontier has faded, do you?”“His prestige there remains immense. A million soldiers in the frontier army hold him in the highest regard. Before the East Coast counteroffensive, their numbers were nowhere near that scale—only later did they grow into what they are now.”

“I say it wasn’t premeditated because Joseph probably never expected Toby Cooper to be this brainless.”“But there was calculation in it—within the video, Joseph clearly guided Toby Cooper into saying those things.”“And choosing to release that video to the public was even more deliberate.”“This man is meticulous. Not someone to be taken lightly.”Wayne Gutierrez spoke with a hint of admiration.“Joseph is Eugene Wilson’s protégé. Eugene Wilson himself is practically a prodigy beyond compare—how could an ordinary person ever become his student?”Wayne Gutierrez’s trusted aide sighed.“In comparison, it only makes Toby Cooper look like an empty-headed fool.”“I truly can’t understand why they’d send such an idiot to Nova City to handle something this important.”Wayne Gutierrez let out a wry smile.“Young master, what should we do next?”“Do we really proceed as they suggested and follow the original plan?”the aide asked.“There’s nothing inherently wrong with sticking to the origin

Listening to the young man, Toby Cooper swallowed hard, his gaze vacant, his mind thrown into disarray.He walked to the coffee table, picked up his phone, and glanced at it—sure enough, it was flooded with missed calls, all from his father.He hesitated. But with things having escalated this far, there was no escaping it.“Step out for a moment. I have something important to deal with.”Toby Cooper said to the woman on the sofa.“Oh, come on. You got me all worked up and now this? What, can’t follow through?”The woman pouted, clearly displeased. With a sway of her hips, she turned and left.“Go keep an eye on her. Tell her to wait for me—and let her know money isn’t an issue.”Toby Cooper watched her alluring figure retreat, still itching with desire. Letting her go just like that left him unwilling to accept it.“Yes, young master. I’ll handle it right away.”the scrawny young man replied respectfully.After the young man left, Toby Cooper fell into hesitation again. If he called,

Before long, a long, satisfied sigh escaped Toby Cooper within the luxury suite, as though something pent up inside him had finally found release.The anger simmering in his chest refused to settle; the room remained restless for quite some time.The woman, seasoned and experienced, matched him without hesitation. A fierce and entangled battle was inevitable.The long night stretched on, starless and heavy.Meanwhile, at a military base along the southern frontier, the compound blazed with light.Military vehicles streamed in without pause. The guards at the gates stood rigid, saluting with utmost respect as each vehicle passed.It was clear that those inside were no ordinary figures—they were individuals of the highest rank.Within the central command tent, a rugged, unshaven middle-aged man sat bare-armed, drinking alone, cracking peanuts as he went. His coarse appearance gave him the air of a man long indifferent to refinement.At a glance, one might have mistaken him for nothing m

“Senior General Clifford Castillo, Senior General Malcolm Sanchez, General Norman Price—good evening to you, and to all the commanders of our corps.”Dale Jimenez wore a conciliatory smile, peacemaker written all over him. Seeing that expression only made the others despise him more.He reeked of liquor as he approached; faces around him creased with open disgust.“Wipe that smirk off your face, Dale Jimenez,” Clifford Castillo barked, voice like ice. “You answer to the three Elders of the Central Council. Tell me—has General Eugene Wilson truly been killed? How did he die?”“Whatever you do with your days is your affair,” Malcolm Sanchez added, “but tonight you will give us an answer. Otherwise, this won’t end here.”“Was General Eugene Wilson murdered at the behest of the three Elders?” Norman Price asked coldly. “And are you planning to do the same to the young general?”“Gentlemen, please—be at ease, be at ease,” Dale said, lifting his hands. “Here’s what we’ll do: all corps comma

Joseph slept soundly—but for some, this night would offer no rest.In Metropolis City, the Central Council’s lights still burned at midnight.Inside a small conference room, Vincent Murphy, Benson Cooper, and Preston Gutierrez sat apart, faces drawn, the air tight with severity.Each studied his phone, tracking the online surge.“Joseph just posted another tweet.”“‘Behind me stand the millions of citizens of Elysia’?”“What’s that supposed to mean?” Benson Cooper tugged at the corner of his mouth. He knew perfectly well what it meant; he simply balked at processing it.“What else could it mean?” Vincent Murphy ground out. “If millions of Elysian citizens stand with him, then opposing him puts us on the wrong side of those millions.”“The boy’s mind runs deep—dangerously deep. We never should have let him walk away back then.”“We didn’t let him go,” Preston Gutierrez replied. “He walked out on his own. Even Eugene Wilson escaped—barely alive, yes, but he did. The strength of that mas

“Preston Gutierrez, I’ve put up with you long enough,” Benson Cooper snapped, slamming a palm on the table.“Then stop holding it in. Must be exhausting,” Preston replied, utterly unfazed.“Enough. No more squabbling,” Vincent Murphy interjected, pained. “It’s settled for now. Get the directives moving immediately.”“Old Cooper, your son made this mess. You’ll handle the cleanup.”“By morning, we issue a notice acknowledging the matter and announcing an investigation.”“Fine. I’ll see to it first thing—or better yet, right away,” Benson said with a curt nod.“If we post overnight, it signals we’re taking this seriously. Do it tonight,” Vincent agreed.“I’ll arrange it now,” Benson answered.“At this point,” Vincent sighed, “we can only hope Wayne makes headway in Nova City. Given the climate, I don’t see a clean way to break the stalemate.”“In this climate, how far my son can go isn’t entirely up to him,” Preston said. “He’ll do his best.”“Doing his best will have to suffice,” Vince

After hanging up on old Mr. Morgan, Joseph returned to Alice and the others.“Mr. Morgan needs to see me—seems important. I have to step out; he’s already nearby,” he told them.“Go on, Joseph,” Alice said sweetly. “We’ll rest at Senior Mason Alvarez’s dorm.”“Okay,” Joseph nodded, and turned to leave.“Professor Wilson really is a busy man,” Mason Alvarez murmured.“He’s had a lot on his plate,” Heidi said, watching Joseph’s back as he walked away.“If Granddad came to campus, it must be for something serious,” Alice added.“Let him be. Come on,” Mason said breezily.The three of them left the dining hall.Ten minutes later, Joseph reached the café where Blake Morgan was waiting.Blake spotted him at the door and raised a hand. Joseph saw him at once and crossed the room.The place was quiet at this hour, and Blake had chosen a discreet table. As long as they kept their voices low, no one would overhear them.Besides, the real secret today wasn’t in what they said.“Sir,” Joseph gree
