“You don’t believe me, do you?” the old man asked suddenly, as though seeing through her.

He doesn’t sound offended or furious. Instead, his tone was mild and almost teasing, his lips curving into that faint, patronizing smile that made people want to throw something at him.

Yet his voice remained unnervingly calm… the kind of calm that belonged to a predator toying with its prey.

Then he finished in a matter-of-fact tone, his words and tone brimming with logic, one that no one could

    *****The children simply blinked after hearing Little Lola’s words.For several seconds, nobody reacted, almost as though their brains had refused to process those words.Then..."Di... did you just say..." a frail twelve-year-old boy asked in a trembling voice, "...Labubu?"Every pair of eyes immediately locked onto Little Lola.Without hesitation, she nodded enthusiastically."Mm-hmm!"The certainty in her innocent face struck them like lightning.Almost immediately, several mouths slowly fell open.One child rubbed his ears, another slapped his own cheek, and one particularly dramatic teenager even pinched herself before muttering under his breath, "Nope... still awake."The warehouse became strangely quiet once again.Finally..."Hum..." the youngest boy, who appeared to be around ten years old, scratched his messy hair with genuine confusion. "What's a Labubu?"Everyone immediately looked toward him.He blinked innocently. "Is it delicious?" he continued seriously. "Can it be ea

  • Chapter 1575 – The Pitiful Scene in The Abandoned Warehouse

    *****The building had obviously once served as a massive storage warehouse before years of abandonment claimed it.Its high ceiling was riddled with countless cracks, while several steel support beams had rusted almost beyond recognition.Rainwater stains streaked the cracked walls, while sections of the ceiling had partially collapsed long ago, leaving jagged openings through which the cold night air drifted freely.Yet none of those things captured Grace's attention for more than a heartbeat.Because... there were children, about twelve of them.Some looked no older than ten, while the others appeared fifteen to sixteen.They had clearly been asleep moments earlier.Most were still rubbing their sleepy eyes while sitting halfway upright.Others remained wrapped in threadbare clothing as they stared toward Little Lola with sleepy smiles.But their condition...Grace couldn’t help but suddenly feel her vision blur.Children their age should have been sleeping inside warm bedrooms.Th

    *****Grace's face gradually lost its color even before she realized it.Her fingers tightened so forcefully around the phone that her knuckles turned white, and a surge of fury exploded inside her chest.‘They hunted homeless people, imprisoned them, and then demanded money... from people who barely had enough to eat?’The sheer cruelty of it made her feel physically ill.Beside her, Xavier remained outwardly composed.Only the tightening of his jaw betrayed anything at all.His fists slowly clenched.‘Lock homeless people in cells... then extort the little money they somehow managed to earn...’The more he thought about it, the colder his gaze became.He had witnessed countless forms of corruption over the years.Yet hearing such injustice described so innocently by a little girl who had lived through it stirred a murderous rage deep within him.For one brief instant, the surrounding air seemed to grow colder.Then Xavier quietly shut his eyes again and forced out a breath.When he

  • Chapter 1574 – Grace and Xavier’s Disbelief

    *****Unlike the lively marketplace they had just left, not a single soul could be seen here.What made the place even more unsettling was its condition.Years of neglect were written into every inch of the landscape.Bushes had spread wildly along both sides of the narrow pathway, reclaiming land that people had once walked across every day.The road itself was riddled with countless potholes of different sizes, many of which were filled with stagnant rainwater.The buildings were in even worse condition.Most leaned slightly to one side, their faded walls peeling away in large patches while broken windows gaped like empty eye sockets.Several roofs had partially collapsed, and scattered debris lay near rusted doorways.The lighting did little to improve the atmosphere.Only a handful of aging solar street lamps remained standing, many of them crooked from years of neglect.Their weak, flickering glow barely managed to push back the growing darkness, making the entire district appear

  • Chapter 1573 – Grace and Xavier’s Confusion

    *****[Author’s Note/Important Notice:I accidentally uploaded chapters from another book as the last two chapters of this one.I have already replaced them with the correct chapters, but since it’s the weekend, the changes won’t be approved until Monday.If possible, I kindly ask that you wait until the corrections are approved before continuing.If you can’t wait, you may continue reading and return to the corrected chapters once they are approved.I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your constant patience and understanding.Thank you,Rex Magnus]….......After making certain he understood what Little Lola truly wanted, Xavier gave a faint nod and calmly led her away, wearing such a composed expression that it seemed as though the dramatic confrontation that had just shaken the entire marketplace had been nothing more than a passing breeze.He didn't spare the silverware vendor another glance, and neither did he pay attention to the noisy crowd gathered behi

  • Chapter 115 – The Aggressive Interviewers

    *****At the same time, the contrast between Benny's current appearance and his usual shameless confidence only made the entire situation even more hilarious.Earlier, he had proudly introduced himself as a legendary ladies' man.Now he sat with his head lowered, his round face burning crimson, looking like a child who had accidentally set the classroom on fire and was hoping nobody would notice the smoke.For perhaps the first time since he had met Nicholas, Fatty Benny genuinely wished he could disappear.‘If the ground could kindly crack open right now,’ he silently begged, ‘I promise I'll never complain about earthquakes again.’Unfortunately, the floor showed absolutely no intention of cooperating.Meanwhile, the applicants had absolutely no intention of sparing him either.One joke followed another, and one burst of laughter followed the next.Eventually, several people's attention shifted from Benny toward Nicholas."Tsk... what an unlucky fellow," someone sighed dramatically w
