Chapter 705
The crowd in the grand hall kept whispering louder as Elder Herlene was clearly showing hostility towards the significant partner of the heir apparent.Elder Herlene wasn't hesitant to remind April of her place. Despite her position as Madam, she was still considered very new to this family. In comparison, Elder Herlene has been in a significantly high position of power within the prime estate, and thus, believed that she still held more authority than a newly installed Madam who hasn't gathered enough trust from the people of the prime estate.“Madam April, don't forget your place. Honestly, following the customs of this estate, a fledgling integration to this family, such as yourself, shouldn't be sitting in that panel. As an elder of this family, I speak with pure concern for the laws of this family, hoping it would continue to be upheld unfairly.”The old woman scoffed, getting braver by the seconds, while forgetting that she was currently standing as a defendant of a crime yet t

With all six elders on the aisle of defense, the five people seated on the judging panel didn't immediately proceed with the case that was expected to be presented. Unexpectedly, they began whispering to one another, seemingly having private discussions.Hence, the whispers in the grand hall became louder as everyone was wondering what other discussions the patriarch, prime butler, General, heir apparent, and the current Madam of the family, could possibly be having at a time like this.Seconds turned into minutes, and yet, the five occupied seats on the judging panel still haven't spoken a word to commence this case. No one was as f betrayed as the six elders standing on the aisle of defense though. They pondered among themselves, giving each other subtle signs of communication. They were wondering the same thing: why hasn't the case started? Seeing that they might have to take matters into their own hands, as this stance they've been called to take was starting to feel like a ses

Prime Butler Herbert stood up to call out a list that was being displayed to everyone on a huge holographic screen in the air.“To the names I will start calling, you're expected to take a stand in the aisle of defense!”“From the major settings of the Thirteen Seats of Wisdom, I call forth the following elders to take a stand on the aisle! Elder Joseph, Elder Penelope, Elder Biscroft, Elder Junior, Elder Cheyenne, and Elder Herlene!” Six members of the 13 Seats of Wisdom had been called forward, and they had no choice but to answer the call.All six old men and the women glanced at each other as they rose to their feet and walked towards the aisle as Herbert had commanded. Before they even knew what they were being called out for, there was already shame and humiliation washing over them.These are the parties who supported Veronica Whiteridge, after all. Now, they could only grind their jaws in absolute regret, after hearing that not only did Veronica deflect from the family, but

Benjamin nodded his head.“If the spies we want to send in are to have the slightest chance at success, then the gadgets shouldn't just block out thoughts and emotions, it would need to actively create fake thoughts and give our false emotions that wouldn't stray too far from the realm of possibility. These gadgets would need to possess some sort of sentience in how they operate when giving outputs in terms of fake thoughts and emotional signals.”Prime Butler Herbert McKlin scoffed after he finished listening to Benjamin's explanation.“Goodness, Master Benjamin, that level of technology would take years, if not decades or centuries, to perfect.”Benjamin and everyone else in the room agreed to this. Hence, sending spies was out of the question. They're dealing with a part-psychic, and thus, had to avoid getting into more trouble.”Hunter asked his grandson again.“From your calculations, how long would it take before Norman strikes at us?”Benjamin had been making as clear of a ded

April replied to the patriarch.“It was suspected that the entirety of that base was submerged deep in the ocean. And it wasn't just Alexa Dove having that suspicion. It was also Madam Hannah Whiteridge. While I was in her body, there were thoughts about picking up the sounds of whales, and a somewhat moving body of water. She had also caught sight of the ocean depth while there, but not even she was paying too much attention to her own guts.”Hearing those words, Benjamin immediately closed his eyes, trying to recall if either of his three hosts - Andrew Tyrone, Chad Hornet, and Veronica, had this suspicion as well. With his incredibly high retentive memory, Benjamin got his confirmation after thoroughly recalling his time in those three hosts. Veronica and Andrew had suspected this as well. They were both convinced that the entire huge vase they were in was submerged deep in the ocean.But none had a stronger conviction of this suspicion than Veronica herself. And considering how e

Hunter chuckled, looking the least unbothered by this revelation.“It seems this upgrade in the Whiteridge family's Prime Estate's system is truly meant for the next generation of rulers to come. Well done, my boy. You've done really well. Tell me, what is needed to kick these genetic alterations into gear?”Benjamin replied to his old man.“You're signed permission to these going experiments. From Mr. Biggs’ prediction, everything should be ready in a month.”Herbert chimed in.“How long do we have before we're ready to face the enemy? How prepared are they to clash with us?”Hunter shook his head as he stared off into the space of nothingness in reply to those questions.“It will be a while before my plan makes a move. He has always been a very cautious person, despite his interest, pride, and arrogance. With Benjamin and April having infiltrated his lair, and learned so much of his secret, he would definitely be taking his time to change some of the war tactics he would be using.”
