Chapter 522
Gerald and Cristy left for Cristy Island that evening, along with the Scofield elders. Michael had never felt this relieved in a while. At least for the time being, he wouldn't have to worry about their safety or deal with their constant criticism. Mira stood outside with him and waved at the helicopters as they flew away. She watched them disappear into the distance before turning toward Michael with a grin, "This is so exciting. I wanna throw a party in that blasted council room so bad right now." Michael snickered. "As much as I want to agree, we have so much work to do." "Oh, come on, brother." "Let's go. The others are waiting." They headed to the meeting room, where Adrian, Barry, Jace, and Lawrence were already waiting. Michael walked in, pulled out a chair, and took his place at the table before looking around at everyone. He sighed as he began. "I don't think I need to explain what last night meant." He looked around at everyone, "The UCA has made it pretty clear. The

The doors to the council room opened, and Michael stepped inside. Every voice in the room immediately went quiet. The elders turned toward him, while Gerald and Cristy, seated at the far end of the table, looked up at him. Cristy's face immediately filled with relief when she saw him. "You're awake. How are you feeling?" She asked. "Much better, Mom." Michael gave her a small smile before shifting his attention toward the elders. "Let me guess… I'm not fit to run the family affairs because I brought danger to the estate." The elders exchanged uncomfortable looks, some of them had hardened expressions on their faces while the rest just looked plainly irritated. Michael noticed it and continued before any of them could answer. "You see, there's a really big chance that last night's attack wouldn't have happened if we had simply decided not to hold the ceremony. But some people decided there was no better time for it." He let out a tired sigh. "Well, it already happened, and the ce

The next day, Michael’s eyes finally snapped open. He sat up and looked around, realizing he was back in his room. Barry was seated in the corner, his head lowered. Michael rubbed his face and looked at him, “Barry.” His voice was still a little tired but it carried through the room. Barry’s head snapped up and he stood. “Hey, you’re awake.” “What happened after we stopped those missiles?” Michael asked as he stood. Most of his energy had returned, and he could walk without any trouble. Barry relaxed a little after seeing this, “We treated some of the injured guests. Nothing critical, thankfully. We kept everyone here overnight so they could recover. The last group left a while ago.” “And my parents?” Michael asked. “They’re in the council room.” Barry answered. “The elders called another meeting, and your parents and uncle didn’t really have a choice.” Michael scoffed, “Of course. I have a pretty good idea what their problem is this time.” He looked through the balcony doors
Chapter 519
The entire courtyard exploded. The blast tore through the area with terrifying force, sending tables, chairs, decorations, and pieces of the courtyard flying in every direction. Windows shattered, the ground cracked, and a wave of heat and dust rushed through the estate. Guests screamed and dropped to the ground as the beautiful ceremony was suddenly turned into chaos. The Gladiolus lilies were scattered across the courtyard, their petals mixing with broken glass and debris. Thankfully, Mira was there to prevent any casualties. She had reacted the moment the first flash appeared, throwing up a massive crimson barrier around the section where most of the guests had gathered for the slow dance. The explosion had slammed into the barrier, but it didn't break through. Mira breathed hard as she slowly undid the crimson barrier and looked around at the frightened guests. "Wow... We are one lucky bunch, aren't we?" She looked around and sighed. "You're all welcome." "What the hell was

Cristy's eyes shimmered when she saw Mira, and she immediately held out both her arms. “Mira, my child...” Mira blinked when her mother pulled her into a hug. She clearly didn't know how to react at first. Slowly, she raised both her hands and hugged back. The hug deepened as Cristy held onto her daughter, and Mira gradually relaxed in her mother's arms. Everyone around them seemed to let out a breath they didn't even realize they had been holding. Even some of the elders remained silent, watching the mother and daughter share a moment they had probably been waiting for. Celia turned to Michael and leaned closer, speaking quietly so she wouldn't interrupt them. “I'm going to Barry now. See you around.” Michael nodded, “Alright. Thanks for earlier.” She gave him a small smile before walking away toward Barry. Meanwhile, the hug between Cristy and Mira finally broke. Cristy still had a smile on her face as she looked at her daughter. “It's so good to see you again. You look beaut
Chapter 517
Michael and Celia joined the ceremony. As soon as they stepped out of the main mansion, heads turned towards them. A few guests recognized Michael immediately, while others whispered among themselves. “That's him?” “Yes. The conqueror as they say. They said he took a thousand ships down in the Blackwater Expanse.” “You seriously believe that?” An applause broke out across the courtyard, welcoming Michael. Celia felt a little uncomfortable with all the attention and wanted to pull away, “I'll hang with Barry. You should greet your guests.” His hand firmly held onto hers. “We'll greet them together...” He said without looking at her, “If that's okay with you.” Her eyes widened in surprise, she knew what that meant. A Scofield welcoming guests with their plus-one by their side simply meant one thing… He was openly acknowledging her presence beside him, this action alone confirmed what he felt about her. She took a breath, then nodded. “Of course it's okay with me.” Michael smil
