“I*… ignorantly poi—poisoned him?” The frail Blackwood patriarch stood trembling, his once-commanding presence having faded to a ghostly shadow, weak and visibly terrified as he stuttered in absolute disbelief, swallowing hard as Darius’s words sank in.

“We…” The three brothers stood frozen there, their faces deathly pale and eyes wide with shock as they stared at Xavier’s unmoving body on the floor.

Like the old man, their minds were also paralyzed with disbelief right now, having forg

    *****Xavier froze completely for a second, hearing the sudden roar.Then, as though struck by lightning, a horrifying realization suddenly surfaced within his mind.In the following second, he shivered violently from head to toe.'She... she already knows?' he thought in horror.His expression instantly changed several times in less than two seconds, then he shook his head.‘Impossible! I was careful enough.’ He convinced himself.But just at that moment…"Get the hell out of here now! I know you did this!" the furious voice roared once more, sounding absolutely livid.Hearing this, Xavier's entire body trembled pitifully.'How... how did she find out?' he wondered with growing despair.His mind immediately began operating at speeds that would shame the world's greatest supercomputers as he desperately searched for every possible loophole in his perfect crime.Unfortunately, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.Meanwhile, the furious voice showed absolutely no

  • Chapter 1523 – A Blissful Xavier

    *****Alone inside the Sky Group's Marketing Department's break room, Xavier, completely oblivious to the earth-shaking commotion currently sweeping through Riverton City, was lounging lazily on a recliner as though he didn't have a single care in the world.The entire city was currently in an uproar because of him.Powerful families were collapsing one after another, investigations were taking place everywhere, and countless people were wondering about the person or people behind it with reverence and fear.Meanwhile, the culprit himself was busy doing something far more important.Eating chips.He held a packet of chips in his hand, constantly tossing them into his mouth with practiced precision.Crrrunch!Crrrunch!!The delightful sound echoed throughout the quiet break room as Xavier munched away with his eyes tightly shut, wearing such a blissful and satisfied expression that anyone seeing him right now would think he had just achieved enlightenment.He looked so harmless that it

  • Chapter 1522 – An Unforgettable Day In Riverton City

    *****Apart from becoming nothing more than a plaything that served both father and son, she, who had once been respected as Hunter's wife, had fallen into the position of a mere maid whom everyone in the estate despised.The servants had mocked her behind her back, the guards had looked upon her with disgust, and even the workers had treated her as though she were filth that had somehow learned to walk.Over the past week alone, she had suffered humiliation beyond anything she had ever imagined possible while living beside Hunter.Only now did she realize just how much that man had protected her without ever saying a word.And then...Her husband had finally returned.The man she had mourned, betrayed, and believed would never come back had returned stronger than ever before.Yet...He hadn't come back for her, to forgive her, or to hate her.To Hunter, she wasn't even worth that much anymore."A sewer has no right to call me husband."Those words echoed endlessly within her mind lik

  • Chapter 1521 – The Regretful Ex-Wife

    *****The crowd continued pummeling Lucius for so long that eventually, his body became mangled beyond recognition, leaving behind only a grotesque reminder of the young master who had once arrogantly stood at the apex of the Scoan family.Only then did they finally leave him alone.Even so, several people couldn't resist spitting upon his corpse before stepping away, breathing heavily as years of accumulated resentment finally poured out of their hearts.Eventually, their gazes shifted toward Augustus's lifeless body.“I finally understand what Brother Hunter meant when he said this beast was lucky,” a worker growled hatefully through clenched teeth. “He truly is a lucky bastard!”“He didn't deserve such a peaceful death!”The enraged crowd immediately roared their agreement.Unable to restrain himself any longer, a middle-aged man suddenly rushed forward and viciously kicked Augustus's corpse.Seeing this, several others immediately followed his example.Fortunately, before matters

  • Chapter 1520 – A Crazy Mob

    *****At this moment, the underground prison no longer resembled something belonging to the human world.It was nothing short of a haunted nightmare… a living hell hidden beneath the luxurious facade of the Scoan estate.By the time the crowd finally reached the end of the underground prison, their numbers had dwindled significantly.Some people had fainted after vomiting uncontrollably, unable to withstand the horrifying scenes hidden beneath the Scoan estate.Others had bolted back toward the surface, desperately gasping for fresh air as though remaining underground for another second would suffocate them.A few had just stood frozen in place, their eyes vacant and lifeless, appearing as though their souls had momentarily departed their bodies.Eventually, after several painstaking hours, the people who could still be rescued were brought out one after another.Most of them were immediately rushed to nearby hospitals under the escort of several guards and workers.As for those who c

  • Chapter 1519 – The Scoan’s Underground Prison

    *****Although the minority hated the Scoan family just as much as everyone else, their consciences made them hesitate slightly.But when more than eighty percent of the crowd openly supported the motion, they could only silently shut their mouths.After all, they certainly weren't foolish enough to stand before an army of oppressed people who had suddenly discovered both freedom and valuable treasures lying conveniently unattended.And once everyone reached an agreement, it was as though the entire crowd had collectively become possessed.More than eighty people, comprising ranked fighters, unranked fighters, servants, guards, and workers, abruptly turned around before bolting toward the Patriarch's villa as though their very lives depended upon reaching it first.The speed at which some of the servants ran nearly brought tears to the eyes of the F-rank fighters.Then, they began to thoroughly ransack and tear the luxurious villa apart, looting absolutely everything that possessed ev
