Heidi, whose thoughts had been entirely occupied with the task Joseph entrusted to her, hurried back to work the moment dinner ended.With Joseph’s approval, she began uploading the video through her various accounts and channels.“Well? Any reaction yet?”Joseph asked not long after.“It’s still being posted—give it a moment, Professor Wilson.”Heidi remained focused on her screen, not even lifting her head.“Alright, take your time. I’ve got some things to handle as well—I’ll step away for a bit.”“If you need anything, just call me.”Joseph said to her.“Okay.”Heidi responded softly.“Oh, right. Don’t head back tonight—it’ll be too late. Just stay here.”Remembering how she had spent the entire afternoon working for him and rushing back and forth, Joseph added.“Ah… alright. I wasn’t planning to leave anyway.”Heidi replied.“Don’t worry, Professor Wilson—we’ll take good care of your little cabbage.”Mason Alvarez said with a playful grin.“Ahem… I’ll go get busy.”Hearing Mason’s

“No need for a massage. After dinner tonight, I still have other matters to attend to.”Joseph replied evenly. There was no way he could have missed the implication in Mason Alvarez’s suggestive remarks.He deliberately steered the conversation elsewhere.“Professor Wilson, you really are busy.”Mason Alvarez couldn’t help but complain.Joseph merely smiled and focused on driving.More than thirty minutes later, the three of them arrived home.As soon as they stepped inside, they saw Heidi seated in the living room, busy with something.“Professor Wilson, Senior Mason Alvarez, Alice—you’re back.”Heidi greeted them one by one.“How’s it coming along?”Joseph asked as he walked in.“The main editing is basically done. You can come take a look.”“I came over in person because I was worried that sending it online might risk the video being leaked.”“So I brought it here directly.”Heidi explained.“Let me see.”Joseph sat down at her spot and began reviewing the video on her laptop.Mean

“It’s not quite what we expected. After Wayne Gutierrez got off the plane, he didn’t head to the Nova City administrative offices. Instead, he went straight to the Nova City Garrison.”“And rather than staying there, he chose to lodge at the Nova City International Hotel.”“Some of the officials traveling with him are already maintaining contact with the local administration.”Neil Foster reported.“Under normal circumstances, they should have gone to the administrative offices first to establish formal communication.”“But he went directly to the garrison instead. Why?”Joseph pondered for a moment, a thoughtful look crossing his face.“That suggests…?”Neil Foster frowned slightly as he considered it.“It suggests he’s sending a message—that he understands exactly where the crux of Nova City’s problems lies.”Joseph said, cutting straight to the point.“So that’s his intention?”Neil Foster sounded surprised.“Didn’t the reports say he’s no ordinary man?”“This Wayne Gutierrez is no

“It wasn’t entirely secure before, but now it is.”Old Mr. Cooper looked to be in high spirits.“How so?”Old Miss Cooper asked with evident curiosity.“My dear, whether you like hearing it or not, among the younger generation of our Cooper family, aside from Heidi and Fiona, there are hardly any who can truly be relied upon.”“If only we had a young man like Joseph in the Cooper family, I wouldn’t have to worry so much.”Old Mr. Cooper spoke with a trace of emotion.“Heidi and Fiona are quite good as they are. Some things can’t be forced. Some people are simply destined to be ordinary.”“Besides, I think those two girls are quite capable.”Old Miss Cooper added.“To have granddaughters like Fiona and Heidi is enough for me. Though they are women, if either of them could marry Joseph, it would be as if our Cooper family had gained an outstanding successor.”As Old Mr. Cooper mulled it over, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of delight.“You certainly dream big—both of them, no less.

“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
