Chapter 1381 – “How Could A Family Like This Still Exist?”
*****Xavier stared blankly at Mistress Ayra for a second, then he tilted his head slightly.“And… what does that have to do with me?” he asked honestly, clearly confused about why she was suddenly bringing up intelligence reports.But contrary to all his expectations… Mistress Ayra immediately responded.“This has everything to do with you, Sir Patriarch.”The moment those words fell, Xavier finally paused properly, and the laziness in his gaze faded slightly.Then his brows slowly furrowed.“Huh?” he blurted.In response to Xavier’s reaction, Mistress Ayra merely drew in a deep breath, her expression turning incomparably solemn.The playful teasing from earlier disappeared completely, and even the atmosphere around her changed.“Please watch this, sir patriarch,” she said quietly.And as she spoke, she picked up the tablet resting on the small desk beside Xavier.The moment the device lit up, several encrypted authentication windows immediately appeared one after another.Fingerprin
Chapter 1380 – “What An Unfeeling Man”
*****“I established it with the sole purpose of giving back to the only city that accepted us after we were forced to flee from our original territory,” she said quietly. “And… with the intention of protecting helpless people from the oppression of bullies, corrupt politicians, crooked businessmen, and those self-righteous ranked families who think having power gives them the right to decide whether ordinary people deserve to breathe.”The more she spoke, the calmer her voice became.But beneath that calmness was an unmistakable bitterness that could only come from experience.It was clear her words weren’t spoken from mere observation. But instead, she had experienced that kind of treatment herself, and perhaps because of that, the smile she gave afterward felt even more genuine.It was pure and proud… the smile of someone who knew they had truly changed something.“Now,” she continued softly, “thanks to the fear of being exposed by Anonymous404, corruption in Riverton City has dras
Chapter 1379 – “Anonymous404 Is Under the Nightshadow Guild”
*****Mistress Ayra explained to Xavier how Anonymous404 operated anonymously, controlled information online, became terrifyingly influential within Riverton and beyond almost overnight, and how even powerful figures paid attention to them.But throughout the explanation, Xavier’s expression remained painfully indifferent, containing no shock or amazement.He looked so calm that it genuinely felt like she was passionately explaining the weather forecast to a corpse.It was infuriating that Mistress Ayra nearly wanted to grab him by the shoulders and scream:“Please react like a normal human being for once!”But... she valued her life too much for that.Finally realizing she might genuinely cry if she continued expecting too much from him, she decided to reveal the truth directly, and that’s what she did.“Anonymous404 is under the Nightshadow Guild,” she said.But then… silence instantly descended, and this time, Xavier finally paused.For the first time since the conversation began,
Chapter 1378 – “You Don’t Live Under A Rock, Sir Patriarch, Do You?”
*****“Where’s the list I asked you to compile the last time I came here?” Xavier asked, abruptly switching the topic once again as though the disappointment from moments ago had never even existed.It took Mistress Ayra a second to process the sudden turn. Then she rolled her eyes helplessly.‘Speaking with Sir Patriarch sometimes honestly felt like trying to hold smoke in bare hands,’ she couldn’t help but think helplessly. ‘One moment, the coldness pouring from him was enough to freeze a person to the soul, and the very next, he would casually change the topic as though nothing had happened at all.’Still, she quickly nodded respectfully, rose from her seat, and walked toward one side of the chamber.The moment she reached the wall, she pressed against a nearly invisible groove hidden within the stone, and instantly…Click.A concealed mechanism was directly activated. Then, with a low grinding sound, a small compartment carved itself open within the wall.Without hesitation, Mistr
Chapter 1377 – ‘Sir Patriarch is so Ridiculously Bipolar!’
*****‘Anyones?’ Xavier’s expression seemed to say.But at that moment, Mistress Ayra was too terrified to notice the grammatical blunder she had just made. She only saw his unasked question.“Yes… yes, Sir Patriarch,” she responded hurriedly, nodding so fast she resembled an anxious lizard trying to win an argument with destiny itself.“Those three are my direct subordinates. They’ve sworn absolute loyalty to me and to the guild using soul oaths.”Her voice became faster the more she spoke.“I trust them completely. Even under torture, they would never reveal anything regarding you or the guild. They would rather destroy themselves first.”The chamber fell silent afterward, with Xavier staring at her without a word.And that silence alone… It nearly killed Mistress Ayra faster than any attack could have.Her heartbeat pounded harder and harder until she genuinely felt it might explode out of her chest.Cold sweat slid down her back, different thoughts echoing rapidly in her chest unt
Chapter 1376 – Mistress Ayra’s Fright
*****Once the three figures and Hunter were gone, both Xavier and Mistress Ayra remained unmoving.They stared at the empty space for a brief moment, their expressions completely unreadable.Then, ultimately, after a few seconds, Mistress Ayra let out a soft sigh.“He looks like someone who has been through a lot,” she said quietly, her tone unusually subdued.There was a faint heaviness in her voice now, like she had briefly stepped out of her usual composed mask.She turned toward Xavier, as if preparing to continue. But then Xavier spoke first.“I thought I warned you the last time I was here,” he said, his voice calm but carrying a sharp edge underneath it.His gaze shifted slightly toward her.“Not to let anyone find out about me… or that there’s a new patriarch for now.”And at that exact instant, every trace of the lazy, half-asleep indifference Xavier always carried vanished so abruptly it was almost terrifying to witness.One moment, he had been sprawled across the throne li
