*****

“This…” The air seemed to become still for a moment after Elliot was done speaking, and for a moment, no one was able to react, staring dazedly at him. Immediately following this, however, all hearts collectively skipped a beat and an audible gasp escaped from everyone present.

The landlord, most of all, looked utterly stunned, as though he had just witnessed the most difficult-to-believe thing in the world.

His jaw slackened, disbelief radiating from his wide eyes as he pointed a trem

  • Chapter 1187 – The Unlucky Guard

    *****At this moment, the guard’s mind struggled desperately to process the overwhelming pressure crushing down on him, but before it could…The sliding doors of the van slowly opened, and the scene inside… it nearly caused the guard’s soul to leave his body.Row after row of men dressed entirely in black sat inside the vehicle, their uniforms resembling a terrifying mixture of military and mercenary attire.Each man sat upright with perfect posture, their expressions emotionless and their eyes staring forward without blinking.For a horrifying second, the guard genuinely wondered if they were even alive.They looked less like human beings and more like life-sized dolls carved from stone.But the aura emanating from them was undeniable.Every single one of those men radiated an intense, predatory energy… dark, ferocious, and terrifying.It felt as though the van was filled with monsters wearing human skin.And seeing this scene, the guard’s entire body began to tremble uncon

  • Chapter 1186 – The Furious Guard

    *****VRUMMMM!!!The sudden, violent roar of an engine shattered the calm atmosphere of the hospital compound.And before anyone could even react, a large black van shot through the hospital gate at an aggressive speed, its tires screeching faintly against the pavement as it barreled forward like a charging beast.The vehicle was massive, its exterior matte-black and intimidating, with every single window heavily tinted, making it impossible to see inside.The abrupt arrival startled everyone nearby, and instantly, the patients waiting outside jumped in fright.A nurse pushing a trolley nearly lost her grip on it, while even the birds resting on a nearby tree burst into the air in alarm.“This…!”The security guard flinched like everyone else, instinctively stepping back as the van thundered past the entrance.For a brief second, fear flashed across his face.But then… that fear transformed into pure rage.His face twisted with fury.The man had already been in a terrible

  • Chapter 1185 – The Undiscovered Bounty Hunters II & The Irritated Guard

    *****Unlike the previous two Bounty Hunters, this one was almost impossible to notice, because… he was a janitor, an elderly man slowly mopping the reception floor.His back was slightly hunched, his hair thin and gray, and his movements sluggish with the fatigue of someone who appeared far too old for such a job.To anyone watching, he was completely invisible… just another overworked hospital cleaner.No one paid attention to him, and that was exactly why he was dangerous.At first, the old man had nearly missed Xavier entirely, his mop moving slowly across the tiles while he hummed faintly to himself.But then suddenly…He froze, the mop halted mid-stroke, and his cloudy eyes sharpened instantly.For a brief moment, the harmless old janitor disappeared, replaced by the calculating gaze of a predator as recognition struck.Then, just like the other two bounty hunters, he quietly pulled out his own cell phone and snapped a photo, sending it to yet another recipient with his

  • Chapter 1184 – The Undiscovered Bounty Hunters

    *****(About eight minutes ago.)Completely unbeknownst to Xavier, something extremely interesting had already occurred earlier, the moment he stepped out of the car and entered the hospital grounds.At the time, the hospital entrance had looked completely ordinary, with patients coming and going, nurses pushing carts of supplies, and two bored security guards stationed near the gate, their tired expressions those of men who had been staring at the same scenery for hours.Yet the instant Xavier stepped out of the car, and he was seen, one of those guards reacted as though a bolt of lightning had struck him directly in the spine.The man had jerked violently, and his entire body stiffened so abruptly that the reaction looked almost comical… like a cat that had accidentally stepped on a live wire.For a moment, he had just stared at Xavier in disbelief, then, slowly and almost mechanically, he had pulled out his cellphone.Displayed on the screen was a rough pencil sketch.The d

  • Chapter 1183 – The Couple’s Silence Gratitude / My Open Gratitude

    *****The moment Xavier finished speaking, he didn’t linger even one second more for their response.In fact, he didn’t even look back to see how his words had affected them.Instead, he simply turned around and continued walking toward the door with the same lazy, easygoing stride he had arrived with.He behaved as though everything he had just arranged was the most natural thing in the world.“You can inform me whenever you decide to start,” he added casually while leaving. “I will make the arrangements before I depart.”And just like that… he was gone.The door closed softly behind him, and… silence filled the ward.However, even ten minutes after Xavier had left the room, the couple remained exactly where they were, seated frozen.Neither God’s Time nor Selene moved an inch.Their minds had simply… stopped working.The sheer magnitude of what had just happened was too overwhelming for their brains to process properly.Their thoughts moved sluggishly, like gears struggl

  • Chapter 1182 – Xavier Fulfilling His Promise

    *****They had not forgotten Xavier’s promise.In fact, they had replayed it in their minds countless times since yesterday, scarcely believing it was real.Because of it, sleep had been almost impossible for them, the couple tossing and turning as the thought kept returning.But still…The couple nodded their heads slowly, their hearts already beginning to race, their breathing growing heavier, and their eyes…Their eyes began to glisten.Seeing this, Xavier smiled faintly before lifting the card.“Here,” he said simply. “The money inside should be more than enough for you to purchase a decent house.”He continued calmly, his tone as casual as if he were lending someone bus fare.“You can use whatever remains to bring your children back from the village, settle down properly, and buy whatever essentials you need.”Silence fell over the room.Yes.Xavier had promised them this yesterday, and truthfully, that promise alone had already been the greatest piece of good news t
