Chapter 519 – Getting Accused Instead of Thanked
*****[ Bonus Chapter ]….The Myron family estate wasn’t as grandiose as those belonging to the first-rank families, nor as ornate, but it possessed a noble serenity. The sprawling grounds were a verdant paradise. Flowers of all hues blossomed alongside rare herbs, their fragrant mingling perfuming the air.Even a first-time visitor would immediately sense—this was the home of an herbalist family, a place where medicine and nature lived in perfect harmony.The moment the SUV stopped, two guards rushed forward and opened the doors respectfully.“Please be careful, sir,” Sage Myron said gently as he stepped out and turned to assist Xavier, acting more like a devoted steward than the sage of a renowned household.At this point, the guards had grown somewhat numb to the sight. Still, a corner of their minds screamed that none of this made sense.Sage Myron, however, paid them no attention.Once Xavier disembarked, the sage hesitated, a flicker of anxiety shadowing his expression
Chapter 518 – Vidor’s Plot
*****“Me. I’ll be the new manager and run this place like it’s my empire.”The moment Vidor muttered this, in his mind, Vidor began to see himself sitting behind Tush’s desk, giving orders, collecting wealth, and basking in influence.And Xavier?A necessary obstacle. One to be dealt with.“Xavier… that’s your name, right?” he whispered, his eyes burning with hate. “You want to be that little bastard’s savior, right? Then here’s my offer…”He stood slowly, wincing from the pain, but uncaring.“You give me what I ask for. Order Sage Myron to make me the manager. But if you refuse…” his voice dropped to a sinister murmur.“Then I’ll dedicate my every breath, my every moment, to destroying everything and everyone you care about. I’ll become a shadow you can’t escape. I’ll haunt your steps. And Lola? She’ll suffer most of all.”Vidor leaned against the wall, letting the weight of his threats settle like a curse.“You have power, sure. But you’ve made a mistake. You didn’t kill
Chapter 517 – Vidor’s Greediness
*****“When did I black out again…?” Vidor muttered to himself, frowning.He tried to gather his scattered thoughts, but his memory blurred like fog over a battlefield.Unknown to most, Vidor hadn’t been unconscious for as long as they believed… no.He had indeed blacked out after Xavier hurled him through multiple walls—but only briefly. Within minutes, his consciousness had returned. His body had screamed in agony, but his mind had stirred.Before he could groan or twitch, he’d heard Sage Myron’s voice—ordering the guards to take everyone away. That moment had been pivotal.Wouldn’t he be a fool to alert them he was awake?So, he had remained still… playing possum, lying motionless as the drama unfolded. A silent spectator to the storm that followed.And he had heard everything.Every single word.Xavier’s chilling calm. The rare, world-toppling herb growing in Myron’s family. The Myron family’s desperate gambit. Their decision to name Xavier as their backer. The revelatio
Chapter 516 – Uncle… Did you Kill Them?
*****A deafening silence descended again.However, this time, it was more powerful than anyone who had descended upon the room… even more than when the Tush couple had revealed their atrocities.Even Little Lola, blissfully unaware of deeper politics and bloodline oaths, gasped aloud.And Xavier… for once, he was not just surprised—he was dumbfounded. His brows furrowed. His lips parted, but no words came out.This was unexpected. It was beyond logic. And it was beyond prediction.Lyria was equally stunned. Never had she imagined such a declaration from her grandfather. Not even in her wildest dreams. Her heart pounded in her chest.“I…” Xavier finally spoke, his voice oddly low. Then, as if shaking himself free of the daze, he straightened his posture and exhaled slowly. “Let me see the root.”His sudden request snapped everyone out of their stupor.The old man blinked, caught off guard by Xavier’s composed tone. He opened his mouth to speak, but hesitated, trying to deciph
Chapter 515 – Sage Myron’s Decision
*****Lyria’s jaw nearly dropped.“In your courtyard?” she repeated, stunned.“Yes,” Sage Myron nodded his head. “That very day, we learned of its true identity—one of the rarest herbs in existence, and a crucial ingredient for a long-lost concoction technique.”His eyes grew distant, as though remembering the moment in vivid detail.“My father and I spent years researching it. Endless days in the archives. Countless nights with no sleep. Eventually, we confirmed it. That root had the potential to elevate our family to unprecedented heights.”Lyria’s hands trembled as she covered her mouth, her breath catching in her throat.“You mean… we could’ve become… a first-rank family?” she whispered, eyes wide.The old man smiled sadly. “Yes. The first in history to rise from a lower-second rank directly to the first rank… all because of a single plant.”He paused, and then his voice dipped into bitterness.“I was ecstatic. I remember trembling from excitement. I was ready to announc
Chapter 514 – The Blueheart Lotus History
*****Sage Myron froze, clearly stunned by Xavier’s unflinching words. No one... no one had ever spoken to him with such calm, steely confidence and quiet authority. Not even the most revered sages or lauded alchemists of his time. And yet, this young man had just done so without the faintest trace of arrogance.Yet, oddly enough, the old man wasn’t offended in the slightest.Instead, a sheepish, almost boyish smile tugged at the corners of his mouth as he scratched the back of his head, visibly flustered.“Sir… forgive me,” he mumbled with a nervous laugh, swiftly changing the topic. “But aren’t you perhaps overestimating the reach of my humble emporium?”'Huh?'Xavier blinked in surprise, his brow twitching.A moment later, realization dawned on his face, and with it, the faintest flicker of disappointment entered his gaze. His expression cooled as his words fell like icicles.“You mean to say… You don’t possess any of the three herbs I asked for?”“Actually, I—” Sage Myron
Chapter 513 - Lyria’s Reverent for Xavier
*****Back inside the herbal emporium, the atmosphere had shifted significantly.Aside from the still-unconscious Vidor sprawled like a discarded puppet and his terrified subordinate who was doing everything possible to blend into the shadows, only Xavier, Little Lola, Lyria, and Sage Myron remained.Little Lola, full of childlike curiosity and untainted innocence, clung affectionately to Xavier’s arm. Her bright eyes sparkled with intrigue as she peered up at the elderly Sage and his elegant granddaughter, her tiny chin tilted curiously upward.Xavier, composed yet faintly tense, observed the pair in silence. His gaze was calm but carried a subtle undercurrent of expectancy.The grandfather and granddaughter duo, however, wore matching expressions of furrowed brows and thoughtful bewilderment. Their foreheads nearly touched as they leaned toward one another, puzzling over the information Xavier had provided.Finally, Lyria spoke up.“A 120-year-old Wild Ginseng, a 90-year-old
Chapter 512 – Sage Myron’s Anxiousness and Relief
*****‘Did she really just try to use the big boss’s name to intimidate Sage Myron?’ Vidor’s underling couldn’t help but think in disbelief, struggling to decide whether to laugh hysterically or weep at the absurdity.Meanwhile, all eyes zeroed in on Madam Tush.The atmosphere grew suffocating as every gaze directed at her brimmed with revulsion, contempt, and unfiltered disgust. It was as though she had just spat in the face of a deity.For a split second, Madam Tush was confused, wondering what she had said wrong. But then clarity struck her like a whip. Her foolishness, her arrogance, and her utter miscalculation washed over her like a cold wave.‘Would even my lover dare provoke someone of Sage Myron’s caliber?’The moment this thought registered in her mind, a hollow chill rippled through her spine.Her limbs weakened, and her arrogance began to crack.But just then—“Take her.”Sage Myron’s voice rang out, quiet, commanding, and filled with finality.The command wasn’
Chapter 511 – Madam Tush’s Idiocy
*****After hearing Sage Myron's thunderous decree, everyone trembled frantically, and a second later, a frigid silence blanketed the entire hall. The only exception was Master Tush, whose glazed eyes showed no hint of awareness—her mind clearly adrift in denial or madness.The others, however, felt their souls quake. The words “lock them away” echoed through their minds like a death knell.Panic was instantaneous.The two guards—the very same men who once stood tall under the family’s prestigious banner now trembled as if stripped bare under the weight of their betrayal.“S-Sir… Patriarch…” one of them stammered, his voice barely a whisper, but Sage Myron’s glare cut him down like a guillotine mid-sentence.“You… you two…” The old man’s voice was low, controlled, and brimming with suppressed fury. “You swore an oath to serve the Myron family when you became its guards—to protect its honor and its assets with your life. And yet, when entrusted with the care of my store manager,
