Chapter 1489 – "Why Haven't You Taken Care Of Them Yet?"
*****Meanwhile, Augustus and Lucius remained completely motionless, their brains desperately trying to make sense of the impossible reality before them.Seconds passed, each one feeling unbearably long.Finally... Augustus managed to force a few words past his dry throat."Wha… what..." He swallowed hard. "What... is going on here?"Even he barely recognized his own voice. It sounded hoarse, unsteady, and heavy with disbelief now.In fact, the commanding authority that normally accompanied every word had vanished completely.Instead, his question carried the helpless confusion of a man whose entire understanding of reality had just collapsed.The instant those words echoed through the courtyard, the suffocating silence hanging over the Scoan Estate seemed to ripple.Lucius finally snapped back to himself.Then his eyes darted frantically across the crowd.He recognized every face.The eastern patrol squad, the hidden guards stationed beneath the villa, and the elite F-rank fighters.
Chapter 1488 – Lucius and Augustus’s Disbelieve
*****At this moment, both Lucius and Augustus stood rooted to the spot, their minds completely blank.The expressions on their faces were so vacant that it looked as though their souls had abruptly abandoned their bodies, leaving behind nothing more than empty shells incapable of thought.For what felt like an eternity, neither of them moved or blinked.Even breathing seemed to become an unfamiliar concept.They simply stared ahead with widened eyes, frozen by a sight so utterly impossible that their minds instinctively refused to process it.Shock, disbelief, and confusion… every one of those emotions collided inside them at once, leaving them completely paralyzed.And the scene unfolding before them...It truly was the most unbelievable thing either father or son had witnessed in their entire lives.The expansive courtyard before the patriarch's villa was crowded.No...Crowded wasn't even the right word. The entire area was blanketed with people.Bodies covered the ground in every
Chapter 1487 – Hunter’s Anticipation
*****Without hesitation, Lucius pressed the alarm button again.However, this time, neither of them spoke again, and as such room fell silent once more.Before long, five minutes had passed, yet there was nothing.Not even hurried footsteps echoed through the hallway.The enormous estate remained eerily silent.Realizing this, Lucius's confident smile finally began cracking. A strange feeling slowly crept into his chest.He pressed the button again… harder this time.Again...Silence.The atmosphere abruptly became painfully awkward, the kind that could make someone hear their own heartbeat.Witnessing this, however, Hunter's smile widened another fraction.The expression on his face became even more unbearable.It was the quiet smile of someone who already knew the ending while everyone else was still confidently reading the wrong chapter.Lucius stared at the watch, then at the hallway, and then back at the watch.His expression slowly shifted from confidence to confusion… then to
Chapter 1486 – Abrupt Concern
*****“Son.” Augustus suddenly turned toward Lucius after a moment. “I just thought of something.”Lucius lazily glanced over. “What is it?”His tone carried absolute certainty, as though believing the battle was already over.“You remember our concern earlier?” Augustus folded his hands behind his back. “The fact that we've lost our greatest backer.”At those words, Lucius's relaxed smile faded slightly, and in the following second, his expression grew serious.This is currently the greatest issue plaguing the Scoan family. They had already lost their backer, making them nothing but a wounded beast now.Predators would soon begin to circle them, and once weakness appeared...Greed would.However, before Lucius could dwell much on those thoughts, Augustus smiled mysteriously.“Tell me...” He gestured toward Hunter. “Isn't this idiot standing before us exactly the opportunity we've been waiting for?”Lucius blinked. Then his brows knitted together.“I... don't quite follow.” Augustus's
Chapter 1485 – The Father and Son’s Intensified Arrogance II
*****Augustus halted as soon as he heard his son’s question.For a brief moment, he blinked. Then he lightly slapped his own forehead.“Oh?” he laughed. “My mistake, son.”He shook his head with exaggerated embarrassment.“You're absolutely right.”“I had almost forgotten we're dealing with nothing more than insignificant trash.”He turned back toward Hunter, his eyes overflowing with contempt. “My son has reminded me of something important.”His smile widened. “You're beneath me. So congratulations.”He slowly spread both hands with theatrical generosity.“I've decided not to lower myself by personally killing you.” He deliberately paused to let those words sink in before adding with a sneer,“After all... we have more than enough ranked fighters throughout this estate.”“They've probably been bored anyway. Consider it my gift to them.”Lucius couldn't resist laughing again.“What incredible luck,” he mocked. “Imagine being so worthless that even the person you're trying to kill ref
Chapter 1484 – The Father and Son’s Intensified Arrogance
*****Even the father's and son’s breathing became difficult beneath that invisible pressure.However, that terrifying sensation lasted for only a heartbeat.Augustus gradually steadied himself before quietly exhaling.‘As expected of a veteran who has survived countless wars...’ he couldn’t help but think to himself, admiration surfacing inside him despite the lingering chill crawling across his spine.He even clicked his tongue softly.Lucius, meanwhile, swallowed hard.His throat suddenly felt incredibly dry.‘We're both F-rank...’ His pupils trembled faintly. ‘So why... why does standing inside his aura make me feel like nothing more than an insect? Like he could crush me without even lifting a finger?’The thought unsettled him.Their cultivation realms should have placed them on relatively equal footing.Yet the overwhelming difference in killing intent made him feel as insignificant as an ant standing before a colossal dragon.Still, that didn't change reality.Hunter remained
