Chapter 1226 – Silas’s Resentment
*****Initially, when Silas heard Xavier say he had changed his mind, a surge of wild, almost foolish joy had exploded within him.At that instant, he had been certain Xavier had reconsidered and decided to take him in as a subordinate… a realization that had nearly made him faint from joy after the initial blow.But then, realizing that Xavier was talking about something else, he had been incredibly disappointed.But what came next… that was something else entirely.By the time Xavier finished speaking and walked away, Silas felt as though someone had shoved his head into a freezing abyss.His complexion drained instantly, turning deathly pale as cold adrenaline surged violently down his spine, prickling his skin and leaving a faint tremor in its wake.Even for a long moment after Xavier left, Silas couldn’t recover.He remained rooted in place, stiff and unresponsive, as though his body had temporarily forgotten how to function.If anything, Xavier’s voice echoed over and o
Chapter 1225 – Silas’s Fright II
*****Silas had always prided himself on his control… his ability to act, hide, and deceive, but right now, he felt as though he were nothing more than a clown.“You… you know?” he blurted out, his voice stripped of all pretense, and his face drained of every trace of blood.Xavier, however, didn’t answer, but he didn’t need to.The look in his eyes… cold, sharp, and faintly disdainful was more than enough.Seeing it, Silas felt a wave of humiliation crash over him so violently that he almost wished the ground beneath his feet would split open and swallow him whole, burying him somewhere far away from this moment.He had thought he was careful enough, clever, and that he had hidden everything well enough that even if Xavier ended up being as he had feared, he wouldn’t notice, yet…“I…” he tried again, his lips moving before his mind could catch up, desperate to salvage something… anything from the wreckage, but…“Also,” Xavier spoke again, cutting him off as effortlessly as on
Chapter 1224 – Silas’s Fright
*****Silas’s eyes widened so drastically that it was a great miracle they didn’t fall straight out of their sockets, his mouth parting as his jaw dropped inch by inch, until he stood there looking like a man whose soul had just been violently evicted from his body.Then…He froze, staring at Xavier as his disbelief gave way to shock, the shock twisting into dread, and the dread constricting into a suffocating panic that clamped tightly around his chest like a vice.For a brief, horrifying moment, it felt as though the air itself had thickened, refusing to enter his lungs.This… wasn’t how it was supposed to go.Silas had been certain that Xavier would accept him without hesitation.From every angle he had calculated, it was the perfect exchange… offering loyalty in return for protection and his influence for Xavier’s convenience.It was a clean, mutually beneficial arrangement.He had even begun to plan, already mapping out how he was going to leverage the prestige of being
Chapter 1223 – You Don’t Deserve Such An Opportunity
*****In Silas’s mind, there was absolutely no way Xavier would refuse his suggestion.Not after everything he had just laid bare… exposing secrets that could have easily created unnecessary troubles for him, even if it couldn’t kill him, and showing him such blatant and almost reckless loyalty.And more importantly… his identity alone was enough for Xavier to accept him.He was a direct heir of a first-rank family.Yes, to an A-rank fighter, such a title might seem insignificant and something beneath notice.But at the same time… it still carried significance, influence, and utility.Having someone like him as a subordinate meant access to networks, information, and resources that could quietly shape outcomes without requiring effort.At least, that was what Silas believed.From his perspective, accepting him wasn’t just beneficial… it was convenient.With himself as his subordinate, Xavier wouldn’t need to lift a finger for most matters again. Silas could handle them clean
Chapter 1222 – Silas’s Request
*****‘He is indeed an A-rank fighter.’Yes, Silas had already concluded this earlier, which had brought forth his change in reaction and sudden sincerity.After he had connected all the visible dots earlier… the master’s behavior, the Prime Minister’s subservient attitude to Xavier, the car Xavier was gifted, the timing, and everything else he could connect, he had arrived at that conclusion earlier.But even then, he had only been about ninety percent certain.To most people, such a level of certainty would have been more than enough.Ninety percent would have been a full confirmation, while the remaining ten percent would have been Irrelevant.In fact, other people would have even rounded it up to make their certainty one hundred percent, making the ten percent nonexistent.But not to Silas.To someone as calculating and meticulous as him, that lingering ten percent had been like a splinter lodged deep in his mind… small, but impossible to ignore.It had bothered him quie
Chapter 1221 – Silas’s Realization
*****At this moment, Xavier… looking like someone who had absolutely no worries in the world, simply stared at Silas with a gaze so dull and unfocused that it almost seemed like he might fall asleep at any second.His eyelids hung low, his expression flat, his entire demeanor radiating a level of boredom that bordered on offensive.If anything, he looked less like a man who had just been handed explosive information and more like someone being forced to sit through a painfully dull show he had already watched a hundred times and feels boring each time.He showed tension, curiosity, or even the faintest flicker of interest… just that same lazy indifference, appearing as though nothing Silas had said held even the slightest significance.Silas had anticipated many things… shock, confusion, suspicion, or at the very least, a question.But after everything he had just revealed… after laying out schemes, dangers, and hidden enemies, he had never imagined that Xavier would not only r
