Chapter 980 – Reginald’s Helplessness II
*****Hearing his son’s report, the Elderly Patriarch of the Harrison family couldn’t help but stare ahead in a stupor, unable to say a word... instead, his thinking went chaotic.After seeing how anxious his usually calm and composed son had become, he had realized that whatever his son was about to report was far from good, yet this…“They… said that?” the old man finally couldn’t help but ask slowly, and…“Yes, father,” Reginald answered without hesitation.“And now,” he continued, frustration leaking into his voice, “we are being bombarded by bloggers, keyboard warriors, paparazzi, citizens, and every news outlet imaginable.”His temples throbbed.“They’re demanding our response, wanting to know whether we’re cutting ties with Sky Group, whether what the family revealed is a lie, or whether there’s a power struggle behind the scenes.”Reginald laughed bitterly, the sound short and humorless.“They’re even running polls about which side we’re ‘choosing,’ as if we’re actors
Chapter 979 – Reginald’s Helplessness
*****“Father!” Reginald finally called out, his voice breaking through the serenity in the ethereal courtyard like a crack in glass.The frustration and helplessness in his tone were impossible to hide. “Are you not going to say anything about the report?” he asked, his words carrying both urgency and exasperation.But the old man barely reacted.In fact, there was no visible change in his expression… no shift in posture and no sign whatsoever that he had even heard his son speak.For a brief, maddening moment, Reginald genuinely couldn’t tell whether his father was deliberately ignoring him… or simply lost in his own world as usual.This left Reginald torn between two equally humiliating impulses… whether to burst into tears from sheer frustration or to smack himself for expecting any sort of reaction at this time of the day, when his father was always immersed in his daily meditation routine.He clenched his teeth so hard that his jaw ached.He had rushed straight out of th
Chapter 978 – The Harrisons’ Courtyard
*****[A/N: For better understanding, context, and to be able to enjoy the following chapters as you should, please refer to Chapters 270 – 272 first.]…..Currently… inside a courtyard.It wasn’t particularly large… just spacious enough to comfortably accommodate perhaps a hundred people at most, yet the moment one stepped into it, scale became irrelevant.The entire place carried an overwhelming sense of intention, as though it had been lifted whole from a masterfully crafted painting, the kind created with impossible patience and almost divine perfection.Every angle, every stone, and every leaf appeared deliberate… nothing felt accidental. Even the empty spaces seemed planned, as if reality itself had paused, taken a step back, and admired its own handiwork before allowing time to continue.It wasn’t merely beautiful… that word felt insufficient.It felt unreal… otherworldly, like something that should not exist so casually within the mortal world, a place borrowed directl
Chapter 977 – The Prime Minister’s Intensified Respect
*****At this point, the old man wasn’t treating Xavier like a grandmaster anymore, no.He was now treating him like a walking deity that just happened to be riding in the passenger seat of his car.As for the Prime Minister… he only allowed himself a tiny, trembling sigh of relief after confirming that Xavier wasn’t upset. Then he forced himself to face the road again.But his mind… it looked nothing like calm.Right now, his insides were in turmoil and pure chaos... his frantic thoughts crashing into each other and shouting like they were all scrambling to survive.And the more he tried to calm himself, the stronger the mental commotion grew.Was it Xavier’s strength? Absolutely yes.In fact, that alone was enough to turn any sane person into a paralyzed mess.He kept replaying Xavier’s casual statements in his head… how the young man had trivialized a battle that had practically traumatized the entire city.Riverton’s citizens were still whispering about it in fear, proba
Chapter 976 – The Prime Minister’s Envy
*****The moment the Prime Minister heard and processed Xavier’s words, his brain detonated into metaphorical confetti, his body stiffened, and his eyes constricted so sharply that they almost disappeared.“Un…” the old man croaked. “Under your… your protection?”In response, Xavier only gave a small, simple nod of his head.But… that nearly made the old man faint right there in the car.Being under the protection of someone like Xavier wasn’t just an advantage… it was practically divine shielding.It was like being handed a cheat code to life, immortality, and political supremacy all at once.His heart leaped again as a thought slammed into him with a crazed intensity.'The mere second-rank Myron family… has instantly become the family in the city.'He didn’t know whether to cackle or wail.On one hand, he felt a soul-deep envy twist his insides.Why wouldn’t he?Anyone under the Erudite Grandmaster’s protection wasn’t merely untouchable… they were practically mythic.Th
Chapter 975 – The Family is Under My Protection
*****The elderly Prime Minister slowly turned to Xavier with stiff joints and a trembling jaw. “I… I didn’t mean to scold you, grandmaster,” he blurted out, his voice cracking as he turned pale.He wanted to cry deeply, recalling how confidently and how stupidly he had complained to Xavier about the two A-rank fighters.He had reported them like a diligent employee running to HR to tattle, completely oblivious to the fact that Xavier himself was one of those apocalyptic beings.At this point, he wanted to roll down the window and bash his forehead on the highway railings.Fortunately, Xavier only rolled his eyes.“You didn’t scold me,” he said lazily, stretching with the kind of casual ease only a walking natural disaster could have. “And honestly, if you had, I would’ve deserved it.”“This…”The old man nearly combusted on the spot. ‘Deserve it?’‘DESERVE IT?!’What sane human would dare to chastise someone who could turn them into a fine mist? Certainly not him… and certa
