Chapter 588 – Xavier’s Speechlessness II
*****Xavier made up his mind, but before he could take two steps, however, the front door creaked open again.He turned… and what he saw left his mouth ajar.There she was again… Little Lola.She excitedly entered the room, but unlike before, this time around, she was hauling… that’s right.She was hauling in a gargantuan duffel bag that looked like it weighed twice as much as she did. She pulled the bag behind her as though it were nothing more than a balloon, her determination fierce.Xavier’s eyebrows nearly disappeared into his hairline.“What in the world is that?” he asked, genuinely alarmed.Little Lola gave him a look. The kind of look adults reserve for clueless grown-ups. “Little Lola’s beautiful monsters, of course,” she replied with utter seriousness.Xavier stared at the massive bag. 'That’s more than a toy box. That’s a mobile zoo.'Without waiting for further instructions, Little Lola yanked the zipper open, revealing a vibrant cascade of… chaos.Stuffed toy
Chapter 587 – Xavier’s Speechlessness
*****Meanwhile, at the very moment when the foundation of Riverton City was shaking… political chambers in uproar, elite families bickering, and rumors of destruction echoing across streets and rooftops—Xavier… was snoring.Yes, snoring lightly, peacefully, and like a child after a warm meal.The young man who had unwittingly ignited the storm that now consumed the city's attention, who had drawn the ire of the Bloodfang League, and who had unwittingly placed his loved ones and perhaps the entire metropolis in peril… was sprawled across his bed, drooling faintly onto a silk pillow.It was, in the simplest words, hilarious.While the world raced to make sense of last night’s mysterious duel between A-rank fighters, while councilmen prepared to declare states of emergency and top cultivators pulled out ancient scrolls and relics in panic… Xavier scratched his neck in his sleep and mumbled something about “no more chicken?”He even rolled over once or twice, finding better positio
Chapter 586 – The Blackwood Patriarch’s Curiosity II
*****On the other end of the table, the Revercrest patriarch’s eyes narrowed. His aura, already grim, began to ripple with cold energy.“Oh?” he drawled, his voice tinged with venom. “So now it’s a crime to demand answers? Are you suggesting we should just overlook betrayal? That we should pretend one of our own didn’t just stab us in the back?”The shadows around him thickened, curling like mist. His irritation wasn’t subtle.While no one else spoke aloud, it was obvious from their expressions that they were with him. Heads nodded. Eyes sharpened.Even without a single vote cast, the room was turning against the Prime Minister.But the old man simply smiled.Not mockingly or with anger—just a small, knowing twitch at the corners of his lips.“I never said you shouldn’t demand answers,” he replied smoothly. Then, with deliberate emphasis, he added, “You absolutely should. After all… betrayal deserves to be exposed.”He dragged the word betrayal like silk over thorns… sarcast
Chapter 585 – The Blackwood Patriarch’s Curiosity
*****“Is that not pure avarice?!” the patriarch of the Greystone family barked, veins bulging at his temple, and fury radiating from his frame like steam from a kettle about to burst.“No… no! Don’t trivialize it as greed! This is outright treachery,” snapped another patriarch, rising halfway from his seat, his fists clenched at his sides. “It’s self-centeredness of the highest order, the kind born of arrogance and disrespect! Otherwise, how could the Harrison family divert billions of public funds meant for all of us to some low-tier second-rank family under their control?!”A ripple of gasps swept across the hall.“Ah… so it’s true?” murmured the head of a powerful first-rank organization, his expression caught between astonishment and disbelief. “So those whispers weren’t just idle gossip?”Three of the five first-ranks family leaders were visibly seething… red-faced, animated, and unrestrained. But two others remained quiet.The Harrison patriarch, seated stiffly, appeared
Chapter 584 – The Decision
*****Everyone froze the moment they heard the Blackwood patriarch’s suggestion, the temperature in the room seeming to drop.For a moment, not a single soul could speak. Then—“I find it… suspicious too,” said a voice filled with careful curiosity. “Is it a mere coincidence that the clash took place on Myron’s land? Or… does he perhaps know these A-rank fighters personally?”The speaker was the patriarch of the Greystone family… one of the five first-rank families. His expression, though calm, showed cracks of unease.The room exhaled in collective tension at his words.But before they could think much… a voice, sharp, oily, and dripping with disdain spat. “What an absurd notion,” it rasped, low and malicious. “A mere second-rank family, fraternizing with not one, but two A-rank powerhouses?”Heads turned slowly toward the speaker.The speaker was the Revercrest patriarch, who was cloaked in an eerie atmosphere, his presence unsettling as ever.Brows furrowed across the ta
Chapter 583 – Inside Riverton City’s Council House
*****Elsewhere, in a bubble tea lounge populated by young women…A loud sniffle drew attention to the corner booth.“Sister Elina,” cried a girl, hugging a plush, small, cute monster doll. “All I could think of last night was that I’d never get to see my premium Labubu arrive!”As soon as all the ladies in the room heard her, their minds flashed, and the image of a monstrous, limited-edition collectible doll with oversized teeth, bulging eyes, and a face only its creator could love flashed in their minds.It was so ugly, yet for some reason, it had become fashionable that girls starved for it. Literally.“Not the Labubu!” gasped another. “Didn’t you preorder that for like… three months?”“I did! I skipped meals! I even lied to my parents that it was an educational AI toy!”Her friends recoiled in shared horror.“My own Labubu almost fell off the shelf from all that shaking,” a girl sniffled. “I cradled it like a newborn till morning.”“I wasn’t worried about dolls,” another
