Chapter 1216 – ‘Time to Be Sincere’
*****Still standing in the underground parking lot, Silas was so utterly stunned at this moment that he didn’t even realize his mouth had already fallen wide open, his jaw practically hanging as though gravity itself had betrayed him.For a long, stretched-out moment that felt like an eternity, he remained frozen in place… unable to move or blink, and, most alarmingly, unable to remember how breathing worked.His thoughts didn’t flow; they echoed, repeating themselves over and over again in his mind like the tolling of a relentless bell.‘An A-rank fighter.’The words reverberated endlessly, each repetition hitting harder than the last.Yes, Silas had already suspected as much at the hotel earlier.The signs had been there… clear, glaring, and practically screaming at him.The master’s deliberate carefulness and the way he had spoken about Xavier with a strange, measured restraint, while treating his own family, a first-rank family, with sheer arrogance and disrespect.Then
Chapter 1215 – ‘He’s An A-rank Fighter’
*****Silas’s breath hitched violently, his lungs suddenly refusing to cooperate as a chilling realization surged through him.‘This… this…’ his mind struggled to process it, every strand of hair on his body standing on end as the implications crashed down on him one after another.Before he even realized it, he had already begun connecting the dots, piecing together fragments of information that most people would never even notice.Silas’s mind reeled as pieces of memory surged forward, crashing into one another with frightening clarity.He remembered the two A-ranked fighters who had clashed within the Myrons’ territory, their battle alone shaking the entire city.He thought of the master’s cautiousness about Xavier despite clearly being powerful enough to make even his family, as powerful and influential as it is, grovel before him.He also recalled how, despite that fear, the master had still ended up sending his own family to confront Xavier… as if using them to test the w
Chapter 1214 – Silas’s Shock
*****Silas was too stunned at this moment that time itself seemed to stretch unnaturally, as though the world had slowed down just to mock him.For what felt like an eternity… though it was only a few seconds, his mind went completely blank.His thoughts, which had been racing so confidently just moments ago, now collapsed into absolute silence. It was as though someone had taken everything inside his head… and simply erased it.Then, almost abruptly… he turned around, his movements stiff and almost mechanical, his gaze snapping toward Xavier.His heart, which had been steady before, began to pound violently against his ribs, each beat louder than the last, echoing in his ears like a war drum.“Sir… are you… Do you mean that was the car you… you brought me here to see?” he stammered, his voice breaking awkwardly, completely losing its earlier composure. “The… the one you were gifted?”He sounded like a broken machine struggling to function.At that moment, Silas’s heart was p
Chapter 1213 – Silas’s Shock
*****Silas’s mouth parted before his brain could catch up, confusion flashing openly across his face for a brief, unguarded second.“Looking…” he echoed in a daze, blinking once, then again. “At the wrong car?”His mind stalled, his plan pausing mid-execution.“Hm,” Xavier hummed lazily, sounding as though he had just pointed out something painfully obvious. Then, without any sense of urgency, he raised his hand and pointed.Silas instinctively followed the motion… but halfway through, his fingers twitched again.It was a second, subtle signal.Instantly, the “ordinary civilians” scattered around the underground parking lot… people who had just begun to drift closer, slowly, and carefully, like curious onlookers with absolutely no ulterior motive… froze.Then, almost unnaturally smoothly, they broke away.One scratched his head and turned in the opposite direction, another suddenly remembered something important on his phone, and a couple began to chat as though they had nev
Chapter 1212 – “You’re Looking at the Wrong Car”
*****Xavier turned his head slightly, his gaze drifting lazily toward Silas.Encouraged by this gaze… though internally suffering, Silas scratched the bridge of his nose, feigning awkwardness.“I thought you mentioned you wanted a high-grade, luxurious vehicle before you were given a car?” he asked carefully.And the moment the words left his mouth, he reacted as though lightning might strike him dead for daring to speak.“I… I wasn’t trying to question you, sir,” he added quickly, lowering his head, his voice suddenly laced with urgency.Then, pointing at the Chrysler, he continued, now sounding genuinely conflicted. “It’s just that… this car…” He paused, walking around it slightly, inspecting it like a disappointed critic forced to review a mediocre performance.“It looks bold, executive, and even imposing,” he admitted, nodding his head faintly. “But in reality…” He sighed, the disappointment practically dripping from his tone. “Its performance is average at best, and the i
Chapter 1211 – Silas’s Disappointment
*****Completely oblivious to Silas’s true identity, hidden scheme, and his carefully laid-out plan, Xavier walked ahead with an unhurried, calm, and almost lazy stride, appearing as though nothing in the world could possibly interest him enough to pick up his pace.His hands were tucked casually into his pants pockets, his expression indifferent, and his steps steady… the very picture of someone who had absolutely nothing in the world to worry about.Meanwhile, behind him, Silas followed by half a step behind, his posture slightly lowered and his expression polished to flawless obedience.The contrast between them was almost laughable… one looked like a bored customer dragged out of bed too early, while the other resembled a model employee doing everything he could to win “Staff of the Century.”Silas’s acting was so impeccable that even the most paranoid observer would have struggled to find fault in it. They would have sworn he was born to serve.Honestly…If only this were
