“Of course, that won’t be a problem. I’ve been collecting information on the Metropolis City Cooper family—call it what it is, their darker dealings—for years.”“Even now, people are still gathering intelligence. Even during the three years I was unconscious, the work never stopped.”“Everything we’ve gathered is stored in my room. If you want to see it now, I’ll take you there.”Old Mr. Cooper agreed readily.“Alright.”Joseph responded.Before long, Joseph wheeled Old Mr. Cooper into the inner hall.“Joseph, old man.”“Everything settled?”They had barely arrived when they encountered Old Miss Cooper.“With Joseph here, what could possibly go wrong?”“Go fetch me the key to the safe in my room. I need to open it.”Old Mr. Cooper said.“Of course.”“I’ll get it right away.”Old Miss Cooper turned to retrieve the key.Meanwhile, Joseph wheeled Old Mr. Cooper into the room.“Bring tea for our former son-in-law.”Once inside, Old Mr. Cooper gave the order.The servants quickly complied.

“Release it to the public.”Joseph answered.“Release it?”Old Mr. Cooper and Fiona exchanged puzzled looks, not immediately grasping his intent.“The countless citizens of Elysia only know that my master has gone missing. They do not know he is dead—let alone that he was murdered.”“It is time they learned the truth. Once this video is made public, public sentiment will shift to my side.”“The three great elders of the Central Council will come under scrutiny, drawn into the vortex of public opinion. They will not dare act rashly against me.”“From that moment on, if anything happens to me, the people of Elysia will look to them first.”Joseph spoke, his gaze distant and resolute.“You’re securing your own safety—brilliantly.”Old Mr. Cooper’s eyes lit up.“Not only that. I am also buying us time—time we desperately need to grow.”“I intend to use public opinion to form a standoff with the three great power families of the Central Council, to create a fragile equilibrium.”“That bala

“An explanation… how am I supposed to explain?”Toby Cooper stammered, his face a mask of confusion and unease.He had never expected Joseph to press him like this—never imagined he could be so relentless.He had come here assuming he was condescending to a lesser family, convinced that the modest Cooper family would fawn over him. Instead, things had taken a turn he could not have foreseen.“You don’t know how to explain? Then I suggest you go home and ask your father.”Joseph flicked his sleeve and turned away, his voice dripping with contempt, anger, and disdain.“Everyone else is unaware of General Eugene Wilson’s death, yet you speak of it with absolute certainty. From the way you speak, it seems his death is connected to you.”“No—more precisely, it is connected to your Metropolis City Cooper family.”“As a member of that family, shouldn’t you provide an explanation for what you’ve just said?”Old Mr. Cooper added calmly, driving the point home.“He keeps insisting that General

He had brought quite a number of men with him, but compared to the Cooper family, they were vastly outnumbered.If a conflict were to erupt now, he would gain nothing from it.“You… you!”Toby Cooper was so furious he could barely speak, and beneath the anger, a flicker of fear crept in.At that moment, Old Mr. Cooper raised his hand again, signaling the crowd to quiet down.“Young man from the Metropolis City Cooper family—if you’ve come here merely to flaunt your power and indulge your sense of superiority, then you may leave at once.”“Do not flatter yourselves. The Metropolis City Cooper family and the Nova City Cooper family have long since gone their separate ways.”“Everything you’ve said is meaningless.”Old Mr. Cooper rebuked him coldly.The others immediately voiced their agreement.“Fine. Then I’ll get straight to the point.”“These are two letters from my father. You may read them.”“You would do well to follow the instructions within. Otherwise… you may come to regret it.

“What Toby Cooper? Never heard of him. There’s no such young master in our Cooper family.”The servant at the door spoke deliberately, feigning ignorance.“What the hell is wrong with you people from the Nova City Cooper family? The young master Toby Cooper of the Metropolis City Cooper family—didn’t I notify you yesterday to prepare a grand welcome? And now you’re playing dumb?”The skinny, monkey-like youth was already convinced that the Nova City Coopers were pretending not to know.“Ridiculous.”The servant moved to shut the door, but the wiry young man quickly stopped him.“Fuck—what exactly are you people trying to pull?”At that moment, Toby Cooper stepped forward. Dressed in garish, flamboyant colors, he carried himself with brazen arrogance.“I don’t know any Toby Cooper. How could I just let you in?”The servant put on an innocent expression.“What’s going on here?”A voice came from inside—it was none other than Uncle Alvarez.“Steward Alvarez, some street drifter is claimi

"What do you mean by that, Father? Today’s matter concerns the vital interests of our Cooper family. As members of this family, how could we possibly stay away?""Look—even Joseph is here. How could we not be?"Hugh Cooper, the second son of the Cooper family, said with an ingratiating smile."Now that’s not quite right, Jianren. What do you mean ‘even Joseph is here’? Our Cooper family has prospered all these years entirely because of him. Anyone else may be absent, but Joseph cannot be. We simply cannot do without him."Hugh Cooper’s wife quickly corrected him."Yes, yes, my mistake—I spoke poorly. Compared to our former nephew-in-law, what are we, really?"Hugh Cooper said with exaggerated courtesy, his face full of flattery."The family business has been thriving lately, largely thanks to our former nephew-in-law. Matters within the family should be discussed with him more often."At this moment, Bernard Cooper, the third son, spoke up.Standing beside the old master, Joseph remai
