Chapter 968
Joseph slept soundly—but for some, this night would offer no rest.In Metropolis City, the Central Council’s lights still burned at midnight.Inside a small conference room, Vincent Murphy, Benson Cooper, and Preston Gutierrez sat apart, faces drawn, the air tight with severity.Each studied his phone, tracking the online surge.“Joseph just posted another tweet.”“‘Behind me stand the millions of citizens of Elysia’?”“What’s that supposed to mean?” Benson Cooper tugged at the corner of his mouth. He knew perfectly well what it meant; he simply balked at processing it.“What else could it mean?” Vincent Murphy ground out. “If millions of Elysian citizens stand with him, then opposing him puts us on the wrong side of those millions.”“The boy’s mind runs deep—dangerously deep. We never should have let him walk away back then.”“We didn’t let him go,” Preston Gutierrez replied. “He walked out on his own. Even Eugene Wilson escaped—barely alive, yes, but he did. The strength of that mas

“Senior General Clifford Castillo, Senior General Malcolm Sanchez, General Norman Price—good evening to you, and to all the commanders of our corps.”Dale Jimenez wore a conciliatory smile, peacemaker written all over him. Seeing that expression only made the others despise him more.He reeked of liquor as he approached; faces around him creased with open disgust.“Wipe that smirk off your face, Dale Jimenez,” Clifford Castillo barked, voice like ice. “You answer to the three Elders of the Central Council. Tell me—has General Eugene Wilson truly been killed? How did he die?”“Whatever you do with your days is your affair,” Malcolm Sanchez added, “but tonight you will give us an answer. Otherwise, this won’t end here.”“Was General Eugene Wilson murdered at the behest of the three Elders?” Norman Price asked coldly. “And are you planning to do the same to the young general?”“Gentlemen, please—be at ease, be at ease,” Dale said, lifting his hands. “Here’s what we’ll do: all corps comma

Before long, a long, satisfied sigh escaped Toby Cooper within the luxury suite, as though something pent up inside him had finally found release.The anger simmering in his chest refused to settle; the room remained restless for quite some time.The woman, seasoned and experienced, matched him without hesitation. A fierce and entangled battle was inevitable.The long night stretched on, starless and heavy.Meanwhile, at a military base along the southern frontier, the compound blazed with light.Military vehicles streamed in without pause. The guards at the gates stood rigid, saluting with utmost respect as each vehicle passed.It was clear that those inside were no ordinary figures—they were individuals of the highest rank.Within the central command tent, a rugged, unshaven middle-aged man sat bare-armed, drinking alone, cracking peanuts as he went. His coarse appearance gave him the air of a man long indifferent to refinement.At a glance, one might have mistaken him for nothing m

Listening to the young man, Toby Cooper swallowed hard, his gaze vacant, his mind thrown into disarray.He walked to the coffee table, picked up his phone, and glanced at it—sure enough, it was flooded with missed calls, all from his father.He hesitated. But with things having escalated this far, there was no escaping it.“Step out for a moment. I have something important to deal with.”Toby Cooper said to the woman on the sofa.“Oh, come on. You got me all worked up and now this? What, can’t follow through?”The woman pouted, clearly displeased. With a sway of her hips, she turned and left.“Go keep an eye on her. Tell her to wait for me—and let her know money isn’t an issue.”Toby Cooper watched her alluring figure retreat, still itching with desire. Letting her go just like that left him unwilling to accept it.“Yes, young master. I’ll handle it right away.”the scrawny young man replied respectfully.After the young man left, Toby Cooper fell into hesitation again. If he called,

“I say it wasn’t premeditated because Joseph probably never expected Toby Cooper to be this brainless.”“But there was calculation in it—within the video, Joseph clearly guided Toby Cooper into saying those things.”“And choosing to release that video to the public was even more deliberate.”“This man is meticulous. Not someone to be taken lightly.”Wayne Gutierrez spoke with a hint of admiration.“Joseph is Eugene Wilson’s protégé. Eugene Wilson himself is practically a prodigy beyond compare—how could an ordinary person ever become his student?”Wayne Gutierrez’s trusted aide sighed.“In comparison, it only makes Toby Cooper look like an empty-headed fool.”“I truly can’t understand why they’d send such an idiot to Nova City to handle something this important.”Wayne Gutierrez let out a wry smile.“Young master, what should we do next?”“Do we really proceed as they suggested and follow the original plan?”the aide asked.“There’s nothing inherently wrong with sticking to the origin

“Young Master, what should we do now?”Wayne Gutierrez’s trusted aide asked.“Before you came in, I had already been monitoring the developments online. The situation is clearly spiraling beyond control.”“This won’t just ferment online—its repercussions will spread far and wide.”“For instance, the southern frontier army.”Wayne Gutierrez spoke with a grave expression.“The southern frontier army?”His aide froze for a moment.“You don’t seriously think that just because Eugene Wilson has been dead for years, his influence over the southern frontier has faded, do you?”“His prestige there remains immense. A million soldiers in the frontier army hold him in the highest regard. Before the East Coast counteroffensive, their numbers were nowhere near that scale—only later did they grow into what they are now.”
