Chapter 1470 – The Prime Minister’s Announcement
*****“Sir Prime Minister,” he said respectfully, though the skepticism in his voice was impossible to conceal.“Let’s put aside whether this is a taboo or not for a moment. Do you truly believe that this upper second-rank family possesses what it takes to stand shoulder to shoulder with the first-rank families?”“Exactly!” Another elder sprang to his feet before the prime minister could even respond. “This is the first rank we’re talking about!”“Even though my organization has already been recognized as a first-rank power, my family itself still hasn't received that status because everyone agrees we lack the complete qualifications. Yet now you want to promote the Myrons directly?”“Sir Prime Minister,” a third representative added, his expression growing increasingly grim, “have you even considered what message this would send to the neighboring cities?”“They have been waiting for Riverton to show even the slightest weakness. The moment they hear we're promoting an upper second-ra
Chapter 1469 – The Chamber’s Disbelief
*****For several long seconds after the prime minister spoke, nobody reacted.It was as though the entire chamber had collectively forgotten how to breathe.Some elders merely stared blankly at the elderly prime minister, wondering whether their ears had suddenly malfunctioned, while others blinked over and over again, convinced they had simply misheard him.One elderly representative even unconsciously shoved a finger into his ear, wiggled it, then shook his head with complete confidence.'Surely... I heard that wrong.'Unfortunately for him and everyone else...They hadn't.The Prime Minister remained seated with the same calm, composed expression, not the slightest hint of amusement crossing his face.There wasn't even the tiniest twitch suggesting he had misspoken, exaggerated, or decided that now was somehow the perfect time to test everyone's hearing.He simply sat there, looking calm, steady, and as though he had merely announced the weather.Only then did the true weight of h
Chapter 1468 – The Prime Minister’s Never-Expected Announcement
*****A look of realization instantly appeared in the Harrison Patriarch's eyes. 'He... he did all of that for me.'The realization struck him harder than expected.The Prime Minister hadn't merely calmed the hall… he had deliberately redirected everyone's attention.Realizing this, gratitude surged through the Harrison Patriarch's heart so fiercely that his already reddened eyes became even redder.For a brief moment, he didn't know whether to laugh, cry, or kneel in appreciation.Meanwhile, the Prime Minister behaved as though nothing unusual had happened. He never looked toward the Harrison patriarch again.Instead... "That reminds me, by the way," he suddenly said, instantly drawing everyone's attention once more."I had originally intended to gather everyone here today for another matter entirely. Unfortunately..." He glanced around the chamber before giving a helpless smile."...none of us expected today's chaos to happen. It appears fate decided to save me the effort of sending
Chapter 1467 – The Prime Minister’s Suggestion
*****'I'm so utterly finished.'The Harrison patriarch nearly wept right there and then, his blood turning ice-cold as countless terrifying thoughts crashed through his mind.'Why... why couldn't I have kept the mystery to myself?' The more he replayed the earlier conversation in his head, the more dreadful it became.He had only wanted everyone to understand how frightening the situation truly was, yet now... he had practically pointed everyone's attention toward Master Xavier.If the others became curious enough to investigate further, wouldn't that mean he had indirectly dragged the mysterious expert into unnecessary trouble?He tried his utmost to suppress the panic rising inside him, but the harder he fought it, the more it overwhelmed him.Before he even realized it, his breathing had grown uneven, his fingers had unconsciously clenched into fists beneath the table, and his pupils had reddened.Seated upon the podium, the prime minister naturally noticed the old man's unusual s
Chapter 1466 – 'I'm So Utterly Finished'
*****The hall abruptly became quiet once more, no one reacting at all for a moment that felt like a long time.Then, suddenly..."Huh?" one elder blinked blankly."...Xavier?" another repeated in utter confusion, frowning slightly."Who exactly is that?" a third asked, utterly bewildered."Have any of you heard of him?""Is he connected to that mysterious A-rank cultivator?""Or... is all of this merely a coincidence?’Nearly all the elders in the chamber became completely bewildered after hearing the unfamiliar name."Xavier?"They silently rolled the name around in their minds, trying to remember whether they had ever encountered such a person before.But not a single memory surfaced, and as such, some frowned thoughtfully, while others exchanged puzzled glances.A few even began to mentally sort through every influential genius, hidden expert, rising family heir, and renowned cultivator they had heard of over the years.Still...Nothing.The name simply refused to fit anywhere.Ho
Chapter 1465 – An Even More Complicated Mystery II
*****For what felt like an eternity, nobody moved, blinked, or even breathed too loudly.The elders simply remained seated, staring blankly ahead as though their souls had momentarily abandoned their bodies.Then..."No… no struggle?" one elder suddenly murmured beneath his breath.Ordinarily, such a quiet mutter would have vanished into the air before anyone noticed.But inside the utterly silent chamber... those two words landed like a clap of thunder.Everyone instantly jolted violently back to reality, several hearts skipping multiple beats in succession.Yet not a single person turned toward the elder.Instead, every pair of eyes immediately locked onto the Harrison Patriarch."You... are you saying..." the Greystone Patriarch finally asked, his voice trembling so badly it sounded like a damaged record. "...that one person wiped out every corpse puppet... together with all the Revercrests' elite subordinates?"His throat bobbed visibly. "How... how powerful would someone like th
