Chapter519 Prime Minister Ulgan followed the security guard into the Victorium guesthouse with measured steps, his expression composed, his posture immaculate. The moment he crossed the threshold of the living room, the atmosphere subtly shifted not with pressure, but with awareness. Authority had entered the room. Gene was the first to react. The newly appointed Commander of the Imperium Port Navy rose immediately, placing a fist over his chest in the formal salute of the Imperium. “Greetings Prime Minister Ulgan,” Gene greeted respectfully. Brad followed suit a heartbeat later. Though he had advanced to half step Celestial, his respect for hierarchy was deeply ingrained. He straightened and bowed slightly. “Prime Minister.” Ulgan inclined his head toward both men, acknowledging them with a faint smile. “Commander Gene. Connel Brad. It’s good to see you both.” Only then did his gaze turn toward Felix.The Prime Minister’s expression shifted subtly, but unmistak

Chapter518 The Victorium guesthouse settled into silence after Felix returned. Night draped itself over the imperial capital like a careful curtain, muting the city’s earlier chaos into a distant hum. From the balcony of his private chamber, Felix stood with his hands resting lightly on the rail, eyes fixed on the layered skyline of the Imperium. Floating lanes glowed faintly in the distance. Towers pulsed with artificial light. Somewhere far below, life went on...unaware, unconcerned. Felix, however, was thinking. Nepa Light. The name surfaced again, uninvited. Felix’s gaze sharpened, his thoughts slowing, condensing. Light’s smug smile replayed itself in his mind. The deliberate provocation. The way he had hidden behind status, territory, and the Imperium’s political delicacy. “He wanted humiliation,” Felix murmured softly. His fingers tightened on the railing. " And he thought I wouldn’t respond." Felix wasn’t angry. Anger was messy. Imprecise. What he felt was som

Chapter517 For a moment, the restaurant forgot how to breathe. The words Felix had spoken hung in the air like an invisible hammer, heavy and immovable. New owner. Not just Krel. Not just the security guards. Every single employee in Cherrly Restaurant stared at Felix as if they had collectively misheard him. The faint hum of the lights above seemed unnaturally loud. Somewhere near the kitchen, a glass slipped from someone’s trembling fingers and shattered against the floor with a sharp clang the sound jolting everyone back into the moment. “…What?” someone whispered. “Did he just say… owner?” “That’s impossible… Cherrly is owned by a board..” Krel laughed. It was loud. Forced. Hollow.The kind of laugh people used when reality hit too hard to accept. “Hah… hahaha!” Krel said, clutching his stomach as if the joke were unbearable. “This is..this is a good one.” He wiped imaginary tears from the corner of his eyes and looked straight at Felix, his smile twitching.

Chapter 516 The moment Felix sat down, the air around the table seemed to tighten. For half a heartbeat, the entire first floor of the SeaShell Hotel felt quieter than it should have been like the ocean outside had paused its rhythm just to listen. Valery Creel was the first to recover.He rose halfway from his seat, eyes wide, then bowed slightly. “Y..Your Majesty.”Aron Kruger followed a split second later, nearly knocking his chair back as he stood. “E..Emperor Felix.” Around them, the low murmur of the restaurant shifted into something sharper. Whispers rippled outward, spreading from table to table like a wave. “That’s him…” “No way…” “Isn’t that the Victorium Emperor?” “He’s younger than I imagined…” Felix raised one hand, palm outward. “Sit,” he said calmly. “We’re here to talk business.” The simple sentence carried weight. It wasn’t loud. It didn’t need to be. Creel and Kruger exchanged a quick glance before sitting back down, their movements suddenly ca
Chapter515
Chapter515 Felix did not rush his meal. He ate the way he did most things, calmly, deliberately, without letting emotions cloud his senses. The dining hall of the Victorium guesthouse was warm and softly lit, the long table filled with carefully prepared dishes that balanced nutrition and taste. Steam curled lazily from bowls of soup. The faint clink of cutlery echoed in a steady, comforting rhythm. Across from him, Serena ate more slowly than usual, her thoughts clearly elsewhere. Christene, on the other hand, had regained some of her appetite, though her mood still flickered between irritation and amusement.“…I still can’t believe that man,” she muttered between bites. “I swear, if arrogance could ferment, he’d be a fine vintage.” Serena smiled faintly. “At least we left before things escalated.” Felix set his utensils down neatly. “They already escalated. Just not loudly.” Christene glanced at him. “You mean you’re planning something.” Felix didn’t answer directl
Chapter514
Chapter 514 The Victorium guesthouse was quiet again. Not the heavy, ceremonial quiet of an imperial hall but the softer kind. The kind that came after anger burned itself out and left only lingering dissatisfaction behind. Christene and Serena had already moved ahead toward the dining hall, their footsteps fading down the corridor as warm light spilled from between half open doors. The scent of freshly prepared food drifted through the air, rich and comforting. Felix stopped walking. “Go on,” he said calmly. “Give me a few minutes.” Serena turned back at once. “You’re not skipping dinner again.” Felix smiled faintly. “I’m not. Just making a call.” Christene narrowed her eyes. “This sounds suspiciously like imperial business.” “Five minutes,” Felix replied. “I promise.” Serena studied his face, then nodded. “Fine. But your food is already on the table. Don’t let it get cold.” Christene pointed at him. “If I have to reheat your plate, I’m judging you.” Felix chu
