*****

“This…”

For a brief, agonizing moment, the scene outside plunged into an eerie stillness, the only sound in the place, being Selene’s heart-wrenching sobs, which continued piercing through the suffocating night, her cries pulling every eye toward her trembling figure.

This silence seemed to drag on, heavy and uncomfortable for what felt like an eternity before eventually, the crowd began to shift their gazes—first to Xavier, then back to Selene, uncertainty and unease etched on their faces, until finally…

“Sigh.”

The neighbors, still sprawled in their blood and on their battered bodies, exchanged glances filled with bitter regret and helplessness, each person knowing deep down that no authority, not even a senior officer, would be able to challenge the iron grip the landlord held over this wretched place.

As for Selene, not knowing what everyone where thinking, continued weeping desperately and louder, pleading for Xavier to help her.

She had been convinced that Xavier wa

    *****“However,” the Secretary continued smoothly, not even slowing down a bit, “if the four still manage to somehow capture the boy, then it simply means we were being paranoid. The boy isn’t part of those people.”“This…”The Personal Assistant couldn’t help but swallow hard, finding it difficult to believe that such twisted conspiracies filled the seemingly simple task.However, still not waiting for her to fully process everything, the Secretary continued.“But here’s the beautiful part,” she said, her tone suddenly sharpening. “Because those four are competing against one another, they wouldn’t unite even if they successfully capture the boy. They would turn on each other.”Her eyes gleamed faintly into a mocking glow.“They would most likely kill each other to fight for our master’s promise… until none of them survives.”The PA’s jaw dropped even further, her brain struggling to keep up.But the Secretary still wasn’t done.“In both scenarios,” she said calmly, soundin

  • Chapter 1052 – The Unraveled Conspiracy

    *****The instant the Wealthy Man’s words landed… both his subordinates froze in place, unable to react for a second, then:Their eyes widened, and their breathing hitched, realization striking them like lightning.However, just as quickly as this happened, confusion crept back in.“But… becoming an inner member of the organization,” the Personal Assistant began cautiously, her nose wrinkling in unmistakable disgust. “Those four?”She scoffed quietly.“Do they really deserve that kind of reward?”“Hmmm,” the Secretary instantly nodded her head in agreement. “That’s right, Master. Moreover…” she hesitated briefly before continuing, “if that boy is truly one of those people, wouldn’t this be sending the four mongrels straight to their deaths?”The Wealthy Man, however, didn’t answer.His lips merely curled into a knowing, deep, and unreadable smile… one layered with amusement, calculation, and something far darker.He said nothing at all. But somehow, this lack of response onl

  • Chapter 1051 – A Conspiracy

    *****For a moment that felt like an eternity after the Wealthy Man’s words faded into the air, the minds of the Revercrest family descended into absolute chaos.The silence that followed wasn’t empty… it was loud, deafening, and filled with the echo of a single sentence looping endlessly inside four separate heads.Then…“Is that… is that true?”The Revercrest Patriarch blurted it out before he could even stop himself, completely abandoning whatever composure he had left… if there was any left.His eyes shone so brightly that they looked ready to light up the entire room, betraying his desperation.But it wasn’t just him in this present position. His three sons had already turned as well, all four of them staring at the Wealthy Man with an intensity so sharp it bordered on madness.Hope, greed, and ambition burned openly in their gazes at this moment.In fact, if it had been anyone else in the Wealthy Man’s position, they would’ve broken into a cold sweat under such naked hu

  • Chapter 1050 – The Wealthy Man’s Change of Assignment

    *****Of course, the Revercrests were greatly relieved at this moment; after all, they had just been released by a terrifying demon… one who could casually have their existence erased with just a flick of his fingers and then go back to sipping tea as if nothing happened.That alone felt like divine mercy to them. However, relief didn’t mean safety.Because even though the Wealthy Man hadn’t uttered a direct threat just now, the tone he had used was far more terrifying than any explicit warning.It was the kind of calm that promised quiet but catastrophic consequences, which the four perfectly understood.As long as they were foolish enough to allow themselves to be seen by the Prime Minister… death would be the best outcome for them.And with this realization…“I…”“We…”The four of them stuttered over their words like broken records, their mouths opening and closing uselessly as desperation tangled their speech, leaving them unable to form a coherent reply before finally…

  • Chapter 1049 – “You Can Leave”

    *****At this moment, the Wealthy Man nearly exploded on the spot, his fists clenching so tightly that his knuckles turned white.The humiliation from earlier that day… being publicly disregarded by the Prime Minister, surged back into his chest like molten lava.No matter how many times he replayed it in his mind or how he tried to rationalize it, he couldn’t scrub it clean.It was unacceptable and unforgivable.Even if Xavier truly turned out to be one of those people, it still wouldn’t sit right.But… with the growing realization that Xavier might not be one of them, the Wealthy Man felt an anger he hadn’t experienced in years.He wanted to punish the Prime Minister.No… he wanted to crush him and make him suffer the same fate as all those who had dared to disregard him in the past, but…“Well,” he said suddenly, his voice dropping into something dark and raspy, threaded with unmistakable sarcasm.It sent a sharp surge of adrenaline down the Revercrest family’s spines, li

  • Chapter 1048 – “The Prime Minister Has Arrived”

    *****The wealthy man didn’t finish his words. But he didn’t need to.The family of four instantly felt the unspoken words slam into their chests like a sledgehammer, draining blood from their faces so fast it was almost comical… if it weren’t so terrifying.For a full second after the wealthy man finished speaking, none of them could even breathe, the four of them frozen in horror.But then…“Be… be rest assured, Ma… master!” the third brother blurted out, his voice climbing several octaves as desperation took the wheel. “We… we will deploy all our resources and get… and get to the bottom of this immediately!”He bowed deeply, far deeper than dignity allowed… if only he had any dignity left in the first place.The eldest brother and their father followed suit without hesitation, nodding their heads so hard that it looked like their necks might snap.“We… we will make sure to deliver the results before the twenty-four hours are even over,” Borgia added quickly, forcing confide
