‘I really wish it wouldn’t come to this level and you’d be a friend, but I—I’m sorry, I can’t take the risk of leaving fire on my roof,’ the old man, staring at Xavier with such a stare that hides a level of killing intent which no one could believe thought and then an item appeared in his hand, which he was going to invoke, to summon all the hidden strength hiding in the mansion when suddenly, without any forewarning—

“Would you really judge an entire family for the actions of just three of its members?” A soft, pleading voice cut through the tension in the room, catching everyone off guard, especially the elderly man.

As soon as they turned to look at the owner, they saw Cassandra, her gaze locked unwaveringly on Xavier’s back, her expression both defiant and determined, unaware that her grandfather had just condemned Xavier to death.

Meanwhile, hearing her question, Xavier, having just reached the doorway and about to exit, paused, making a tense silence once again fill t

  • Chapter 966 – Cassandra’s Emotional Turmoil II

    *****When Cassandra recognized Xavier earlier, lightning had shot through her body, electrifying every nerve.Her heart had slammed against her ribs, and her mind had gone blank. She had even forgotten breathing existed.But the craziest part wasn’t the fear, it wasn’t the guilt, and it wasn’t even the memory of her humiliation.No. It was the realization… slow, terrifying, and awe-inspiring, that Xavier wasn’t just extraordinary.Xavier was… monstrously, unbelievably, and reality-shaken mighty.This realization couldn’t help but make Cassandra suddenly feel like the world had tilted, leaving her hanging between terror, shock, and disbelief.She could still recall… painfully and vividly, every single time she had looked down on Xavier in the past. The memories came crashing back like a montage designed by the universe specifically to humiliate her.She remembered mocking him, calling him homeless, dismissing him as some cheap con-artist who intentionally came to scam her fami

  • Chapter 965 – Cassandra’s Emotional Turmoil

    *****As earlier said, Cassandra had transformed more in the past few weeks than she had in her entire life, and the sole reason for that earth-shaking shift was none other than… Xavier.That’s right… him.Before knowing Xavier, Cassandra had floated through life like an untouchable comet… brilliant, arrogant, and absolutely certain that the world existed to orbit her.She had acted however she pleased, said whatever she wanted, and expected everyone to applaud her for simply breathing. She was the Blackwoods' Princess, after all, respected by all.Everyone bows to her, everyone obeys her, and everyone scrambles to please her.But Xavier… Xavier had marched straight into her world and smashed it like a hammer shattering glass.Cassandra had always believed… no, known that she was a top beauty and the dream girl of every man alive.She had always known she was the type who didn’t chase; she was chased. The type who didn’t try; she was desired.Yet Xavier… even after she had lo

  • Chapter 964 – Aldric and Cassandra’s Horrific Realization

    *****Aldric currently looked like he had just witnessed a ghost personally greet him by name.His jaw hung so low that it practically touched his chest, his pupils dilated as though he had suddenly learned he was adopted and his real father was a dragon.He wasn’t breathing.He wasn’t blinking.He wasn’t even alive-looking.Instead, he looked… exceptionally horrified, as though he had walked into a real-life horror.He had understood where this was heading.And when that truth sank in, the old patriarch released another exhausted, defeated sigh… the kind a man gives when he sees that his son has at last understood just how dire the situation truly was.He didn’t bother addressing Aldric… the man was mentally offline.Instead, he turned back to Cassandra and asked the one question that mattered.“Do you… perhaps remember the title of that great sir we went there to welcome that day?”His voice came out raspy and brittle, like it might shatter mid-sentence, and hearing him,

  • Chapter 963 – Aldric and Cassandra’s Utter Bewilderment II

    *****“Do you recall a few weeks ago… when the entire Blackwoods household… you, me, your father, your mother, and your uncles… all of us went to the airport at dawn and stayed there until dusk?”Both Cassandra and her father froze the moment they heard the old man’s question.Of course, they remembered. How could they forget something so bizarre?Back then, they had been dragged out of bed before sunrise, forced to dress in their best, the entire family arranged in perfect formation like soldiers awaiting inspection.The old patriarch had personally prepared an extravagant gift… the kind so precious that even the Blackwoods’ wealth felt strained by it.But it wasn’t just them.Every first-rank family and power in Riverton City had been there that day… hundreds of elite figures gathered in one place, standing stiffly with reverence, anticipation buzzing in the air like electricity.Even the airport had been locked down that day, no flights allowed in or out… other than the one

  • Chapter 962 – Aldric and Cassandra’s Utter Bewilderment

    *****Right now, the Blackwoods Patriarch looked like a broken stranger… someone crushed beneath the weight of panic and despair.His dignity, his aura, and his authority… all of it had evaporated.Cassandra and Aldric stared at him in utter speechlessness, unable to reconcile the man before them with the one they had known their whole lives.And like that, heavy, suffocating seconds passed.Finally, Cassandra and Aldric exchanged another look… one filled with shock, worry, and a complicated mix of pity and dread.Then Cassandra inhaled deeply, gathering herself.In the past few weeks, she had grown more than she even noticed, and that quiet steadiness showed itself as she approached her grandfather... moving slowly and cautiously, almost as if she were nearing a frightened, injured creature.Then she bent down and placed a gentle hand on his trembling shoulder.“Grandfather,” she murmured softly, her voice steady, warm, and soothing in a way she hadn’t mastered before. “Plea

  • Chapter 961 – The Blackwoods Patriarch’s Devastation

    *****Cassandra and her father weren’t merely dumbstruck at this moment… they were frozen, caught in a stunned paralysis as they stared at the old patriarch sprawled on the floor.His horror-stricken face, the sheen of tears trembling in his eyes, and the way his chest heaved in panic… it was like watching their pillar of strength suddenly shatter into dust.They couldn’t even move or breathe.And honestly… who could blame them?Yes, it was devastating to lose the chance to repair their broken relationship with Xavier. The Prime Minister’s attitude alone made it clear that the boy wasn’t just important… he was practically being treated like living royalty.Losing someone like that… anyone would feel sick with regret and might even become depressed.But to go as far as declaring that their entire family, which had been created for centuries, was finished and utterly doomed beyond hope?Even for them, that sounded… extreme.And because of that, the father and daughter could onl
