2024-12-25 12:16:52In the afternoon, Joel Myers escorted Rael to the police station.
Deep down, he felt heavy and uneasy about escorting a hero like Rael to prison.
One of Joel’s subordinates asked when they arrived at the police station, "Sir, how should we arrange accommodation for Lord Vinsion?"
As those on Rael’s side, they certainly didn’t want to let him stay in an inappropriate place.
Joel scoffed in annoyance.
"Ugh, the dungeon is disgusting. Lord Vinsion really doesn’t deserve to be there!"
However, Rael didn’t mind where he slept.
"Don’t worry, Mr. Myers."
"I’ll be fine wherever I am."
Joel didn’t mean to belittle the man before him.
It was just that someone as remarkable as Rael shouldn’t be breathing in the foul air of a dungeon, let alone staying there.
With regret, Joel replied, "My Lord, the dungeon is filthy, smells bad, and is suffocating."
"It’s completely unfit for you."
Still, Rael remained firm.
"It’s fine."
Just as Joel was about to speak again, Rael raised his hand as if to stop him from continuing.
Calmly, Rael said, "I’m tired. I want to rest."
Since there were no other options, Joel reluctantly escorted Rael into the dungeon.
Meanwhile, after dinner, Calista, Oberon, and Mathis returned to the villa.
Even though the Lieutenant Governor had ruined the dinner prepared for Mathis, they were still happy.
In their hearts, they believed that Mathis’ takeover of Noorhaven had already been decided.
This meant Rael would never have a chance to return.
In his mind, Oberon thought about his family’s future as he formed connections with Mathis’ aristocratic family.
'Fortune! I’ve really hit the jackpot!'
'From now on, my career in politics will get easier!'
It was not just about promotions, wealth, and status.
He was certain his next step would surely bring him to the capital!
Meanwhile, Mathis smiled widely as he imagined how easily he would increase Noorhaven’s GDP to 30 trillion in a year.
Suddenly, Calista hugged Mathis’ arm tightly.
The pressure from her soft chest snapped the long-haired man out of his thoughts.
Calista smiled seductively.
"Darling..."
"I think it’s time for us to rest."
Mathis gazed at the woman who clung to his arm like an octopus.
Shyly, Calista spoke, "Um... don’t worry. Rael never touched me before."
Her smile widened.
Realizing the implication of Calista’s words, Mathis’ tender gaze slowly turned into one filled with desire as he looked at Calista’s slim waist and ample chest.
They both laughed.
Oberon didn’t stop their flirtatious banter.
On the contrary, he smiled knowingly.
"You’re right, Calista. It’s time to rest."
After that, Oberon left, leaving Calista and Mathis alone.
Mathis smiled lasciviously.
"Calista, you look so beautiful tonight."
Mathis' short words brought a blush to Calista's cheeks.
The woman wrapped her arms around Mathis' neck, then whispered.
"Show me how beautiful I am in your eyes."
Mathis grew excited, and he carried Calista to her room like a bride.
In no time, their interaction became so intense that they both ended up in a marble bathtub.
Their clothes were scattered on the floor.
The soft sounds of their giggling could be heard against the gurgling water.
"Mathis... oh... you’re making me ticklish!" She chuckled.
The man laughed.
"You are so wonderful, darling."
Calista smiled with satisfaction as she felt the man in the tub go crazy for her.
Mathis commented with sparkling eyes as he stared at the wet Calista, "That bastard doesn't even deserve to see your shadow."
"Let alone touch and possess you."
Calista looked lovingly at the long-haired man.
"You're right, darling. You are indeed the best for me."
She laid her head on Mathis' chest and played with her index finger on his chest.
Mathis smiled mockingly.
"While we're having fun here, he must be crying and begging for justice in that rotten dungeon."
Calista looked up at Mathis.
"He deserve it."
She rested on her knees while her soft hands rested on Mathis' shoulders.
"Don't think about him anymore."
Her smile was faint as the warm steam evaporated around her pristine white body.
"We'd better get back to having fun."
Mathis nodded in agreement, then approached her and resumed their game.
Meanwhile, unbeknownst to Mathis and Calista, the condition of the dungeon was very different from what they had imagined.
In front of the dungeon bars, Joel gave an order, “Take down these iron bars!”
A few moments later, several men arrived to dismantle the iron bars.
Once the bars were removed, Joel continued his instructions, “Set this room up to be as comfortable as a five-star hotel.”
With efficiency, Joel’s men cleaned the floors, scrubbed the walls, and decorated the room with expensive furnishings.
They even replaced the old nearly collapsed iron bed with a soft and luxurious one.
Joel's men worked hard to ensure that everything was prepared to provide comfort for their Lord, Lord Vinsion.

After some time of extensive renovations transforming the dungeon cell into a luxurious five-star-style room, Joel approached Rael.The chief of police reported, “My Lord, the renovation of your chamber will soon be completed.”“I’ve ensured that your new bed is incredibly comfortable and excellent for your back health.”He gave a faint smile. Deep down, Joel hoped that this small gesture he had done for Rael would make his stay in the dungeon a bit more comfortable.Rael nodded. “You’ve worked too hard, Mr. Myers.”Joel quickly shook his head. “Not at all, My Lord. It’s nothing.”“In fact, I still regret that I couldn’t get you out of the dungeon and provide you with a better place to stay.”Rael smiled. “I appreciate your efforts, Mr. Myers.”“I’ve already told you, haven’t I? I can sleep anywhere.”Rael added, “For me, what matters most is that I can enjoy my sleep without any disturbances.”“You must know about my dedication when I started rebuilding Noorhaven, don’t you?”Joel

The next morning, Mathis emerged from Calista’s room, looking more refreshed than ever. It was evident he had thoroughly enjoyed his night with Calista.As Mathis entered the dining room, he saw Oberon had prepared breakfast for him.Oberon greeted him warmly, "Young master, please join me.""You must be very tired and need to replenish your energy."Mathis simply smiled and approached the dining table, feeling his hunger take over.Perfect. A considerate father-in-law was all he needed.Mathis thought as he reached for a mug of milk.Taking a sip, however, he immediately spat it out, his face contorted in disgust.The milk was both scalding hot and oddly sour."Damn it!" He cursed under his breath.He then grabbed a piece of bread, hoping to salvage his breakfast.But as he bit into the bread, his eyebrows furrowed involuntarily.'Is this really fresh bread?' 'Why does it taste stale and moldy?'From its appearance, the food looked freshly served. Moreover, Oberon appeared calm,

Joel’s eyes narrowed as he stared at the name on the screen. 'Isn't this the shameless person who wanted to steal Rael's credit?'A sudden wave of discomfort washed over him.Even so, Joel answered the call.“Hello, this is Police Chief Joel Myers. How can I help you?”“Hello, Mr. Myers. It’s me, Mathis Huber.”Joel’s expression darkened immediately.“Oh, Mr. Huber. What’s the reason for calling so early in the morning?”“I need your presence this afternoon. I’m planning a major raid on several of Rael’s properties in the Gold Throne district.”“From the information I’ve gathered, these properties are being used as hideouts for... well, Rael’s mistresses.”At that moment, Mathis grinned widely, feeling confident about exposing Rael’s secrets to the public.He added, “This is a massive scandal, Mr. Myers! I truly expect your participation.”After discussing a few details of the plan, the call came to an end.Could what Mathis said be true?Curious and conflicted, Joel couldn’t help but

This event sent waves of uncontrollable joy through Mathis’ chest. However, he tried to remain calm.Mathis began to resume his role of bringing down Rael. He started acting with a sad expression on his face.“I’m sad to say so, but it’s truly unfortunate that the evidence is genuine.”“This is completely unacceptable!”“How could an official casually purchase luxury properties and then indulge in the company of so many women without stealing from the state’s funds?”“Is that even possible?”“If Rael is truly not involved with many prostitutes and supporting so many mistresses of his, then how can there be routine transactions of thousands, even tens of thousands of dollars to these women?”“Meanwhile, the people pay taxes to make Noorhaven a better place.”“But unfortunately, corrupt officials have ruined the trust of the people!”Mathis placed his hand over his chest, as if deeply disappointed and saddened.“It turns out that we’ve all been deceived by the holy mask of Rael Vinsio

A few moments later, the group of officials arrived at the house closest to the gates of the Gold Throne.Mathis then took out a stack of documents and walked toward the door of the luxurious house.He turned to his subordinates. “Prepare yourselves. After this, you will begin the investigation.”Mathis’ subordinates nodded in unison. “Understood, Sir.”Once everything was ready, Mathis made a phone call to Oberon.At the same time, Oberon was holding a video conference with governors from other states, exchanging experiences and stories.In the middle of the conference, Oberon’s smartphone rang, displaying the name Mathis Huber.Excited, Oberon quickly answered the call, “Mathis, how’s everything going now?”Mathis responded. “I’m currently in front of one of Rael’s properties. Ready to expose his true color.”At that moment, something struck Oberon’s mind. Why not take this opportunity to tarnish Rael’s reputation in front of the other governors?A sly smile appeared on Oberon’s

A woman emerged from the door, causing every eye to widen in shock.The crowd began pushing and shoving one another just to catch a glimpse of the women who were rumored to have shared Rael’s bed.Mathis was stunned, almost unable to believe what he saw.“Is she really Rael's woman?”It wasn’t a young and beautiful woman. Instead, the figure stepping through the door was a middle-aged woman with a large frame and strands of gray hair visible among her locks.Whispers broke out among the crowd as the woman’s appearance shattered their fantasies of the young, seductive women who supposedly filled “Rael’s harem.”“Did we raid the wrong place?”“Why is it a middle-aged woman?”“Am I the only one who thinks this harem is incredibly strange?”“You’re right. Usually, young and wealthy men prefer women who are young, beautiful, and sexy.”Although Mathis found his discovery strange and shocking, he quickly entertained another possibility.A disgusted smirk crept onto Mathis’s lips.“Well, it

Mathis smiled with satisfaction, feeling his victory was drawing closer.Arrogantly, he gave his order.“Gather everyone on that list in front of me now!”Mathis’s subordinates immediately nodded and carried out his command.Mathis turned to the officials. “In just a moment, we will undoubtedly uncover the truth.”In his heart, he grew even more excited because not only were Noorhaven officials witnessing the raid, but also the governors from other states within the United States of Nooria.Meanwhile, during the live broadcast, Oberon and the governors from other states began speculating.“I think Rael deliberately let that middle-aged woman live in the house closest to the gate to prevent people from suspecting his affair.”“That’s very likely. Does he think we’re so foolish and easily deceived by his little tricks?”“It would be outright stupid if he blatantly showed off the beautiful women in his harem.”“You’re right. If he did that, his affair would be exposed quickly!”“That mak

The women’s blood boiled immediately.A young woman, around 25 years old, shouted.“Stop your nonsense! Lord Vinsion would never commit corruption, bribery, or any other crimes!”Mathis smirked and looked at them condescendingly.“Why wouldn’t he? Do you think Rael is a prophet?”“Then, if Rael didn’t commit those crimes, where did he get so much money to buy dozens of properties here and support all of you living here?”“Are my simple words really that hard for you to comprehend?”A woman carrying a baby also spoke up.“Shut your mouth! We are not Lord Vinsion’s mistresses!”“We are clean and have never been involved in anything dirty with Lord Vinsion like what you’re accusing us of!”Mathis chuckled lightly.“Oh, really?”He clearly didn’t believe the woman’s claim.“If not, then are all these properties Rael gave you merely acts of charity?”“Also, why does Rael always visit you during holidays? Surely it’s not just because he misses your faces.”“Or is it your... services that he

On the designated day and time, as planned, Leith arranged for the arrival of the foreign individuals in Nymbrial County to discuss his illegal business.However, they remained cautious, arriving without bringing any illegal goods, unlike their usual practice.Furthermore, Leith deliberately spread rumors about the foreigners’ arrival to gauge Rael’s reaction.Leith gave orders to his men, “Watch and observe! Make sure you report to me if you see any movement from Lord Vinsion’s subordinates. If there are any.”They all nodded in unison. “Understood.”Not long after, news of the illegal immigrants’ entry quickly spread because many officials who had previously worked under Rael had either resigned or been dismissed. As a result, Nymbrial County was understaffed to handle urgent matters like this.The news soon reached Oberon and Mathis.Oberon’s eyebrows furrowed deeply. “Illegal immigrant? How is that even possible?”Mathis’s expression also showed concern.After all, during the four

The wave of strikes and mass resignations by state officials in Noorhaven had truly shaken Oberon and Mathis.Mathis muttered, "Why is it that after I took over this state, I have to face such chaos?""Regardless, this turmoil must not drag on, or it will disrupt regional stability and development."More than that, Oberon was even angrier, almost tempted to flip the table in front of him. He completely lost his appetite. Clenching his teeth in frustration, his fury boiled over.The officials' demands to release Rael and their threats of a work strike had truly pushed Oberon's patience to its limit."Fine. If they want to strike or even resign!""I don't care!""In fact, this is an excellent opportunity for Noorhaven to get rid of Rael's loyalists and replace them with new officials who are more open-minded and willing to cooperate with me!""The notion that Noorhaven cannot function properly without Rael is utterly ridiculous!"As Oberon envisioned replacing the officials with talente

Oberon’s idea sounded excellent to Mathis. In that moment, Mathis regained his determination to confront Rael and secure his position in Noorhaven.“That’s brilliant, Mr. Hanson!”Spontaneously, Mathis clapped his hands in delight, praising the clever plan of his future father-in-law. The smile on Mathis’ face reflected his newfound optimism, as if he could hit Rael away like a fly.Oberon nodded.“For now, I’ve already sent my men to investigate the officials who have complaints about Rael.”“To regain your energy, I think you should rest early.”Mathis nodded in agreement.“Sure.”He then retreated to his bedroom.After a long and exhausting day, Mathis felt he needed time to recharge and prepare himself for the challenges of tomorrow.Even so, as he lay on his bed, Mathis couldn’t stop thinking about Rael.“That bastard…”“At least you’re rotting in the dungeon, living a miserable life!”Mathis tried to comfort himself, and the thought of Rael being imprisoned lifted his spirits.Ho

After thinking for quite a while, Oberon finally had an idea.“Mr. Huber, I have an idea!”Lucan stared sharply at Oberon.“Speak!”Oberon quickly explained, “To divert the officials’ attention from the misunderstanding at Rael’s warehouses, we need to create news that will ruin Rael’s reputation!”“I’ll make the public aware that Rael often uses his dark powers to oppress capable officials and prevent them from getting promotions.”“Meanwhile, he allows incompetent officials to retain their positions!”According to Oberon, Rael had always been known for his good reputation because he had done many good deeds. Therefore, exposing Rael’s true face to the public was the right step to destroy their trust in him.Additionally, this diversion would also make the public aware that Rael had been hindering the country’s growth.Oberon’s previously pale face started to shine with optimism.“One more thing. The public must also know that Rael is collaborating with the Lord of the Scorpion at th

The sharp words from the official on the other end of the line slowly erased the smile from Lucan’s face.Shaking his head in frustration, Lucan retorted, “Are you so envious of Mathis’s accomplishments at such a young age that you resort to making false accusations against him?”In short, Lucan trusted Mathis more than the official on the phone.“You shouldn’t believe everything on TV just because it’s aired there!”The official sneered, “You shouldn’t blindly trust Mathis either!”“I understand he’s your son. But does a father simply stand by when his son does something wrong?”“Let me make one thing clear to you, Mr. Huber. I’m not saying this out of jealousy, as you’ve accused!”“But because the state of Noorhaven has already sent evidence to the capital!”“Every official in the capital now knows about the fraudulent actions of your son!”Without waiting for Lucan’s response, the official ended the call abruptly.The harsh manner of the official left Lucan stunned, speechless for

The reporter's question couldn't help but draw the attention of the officials and bank staff present at the scene. They all looked at the reporter with disgusted expressions.At that moment, the reporter's body felt an inexplicable chill.Hurriedly, the reporter said, “Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. I am Aiden Russell, a reporter from Nooria News Channel.”With a professional smile, Aiden asked again, “So, is it true that Rael Vinsion is involved in a massive embezzlement case?”The bank staff did not immediately answer the reporter's question. Instead, he simply handed over an envelope that was in his hand to the reporter. Aiden took the envelope with a confused expression.“Are you trying to bribe me so I won’t report this case?”The bank staff's face turned sour, and he replied, “Just open the envelope. You’ll find out what’s really going on here.”Although hesitant, Aiden finally opened the envelope in his hand. The reporter's eyes narrowed when he saw that the envelope

A few seconds later, a video file appeared in Lucan’s chat application. He immediately pressed play, revealing footage of a building filled with towering stacks of cardboard boxes.In the video, Mathis spoke briefly, in a manner that made anyone watching believe the boxes were filled with an enormous amount of cash.“Good job, Son!”Lucan smiled broadly after hearing Mathis’s explanation in the video.Without wasting time, Lucan forwarded the video to his senior official colleagues in the nation’s capital after watching it.“After this, I’m sure those arrogant officials won’t dare question Mathis’s competency or his eligibility to lead the state of Noorhaven!”“They’re all just foolish old men who talk too much and act too little!”Not long after, senior officials of the United States of Nooria were abuzz with the video showing the mysterious stacks of boxes in a warehouse. Thanks to Mathis’s convincing narrative in the video, these officials quickly believed the boxes contained embez
Chapter 29
At the same time, the officials began whispering among themselves again. However, their whispers were loud enough for Mathis to hear.“Did you see this? The investigators said all of Lord Vinsion’s transactions are clean!”“Yeah, not only was he proven innocent, but he has also done many noble deeds.”“Anyone who thought Lord Vinsion committed such petty crimes must be a fool.”“Imprisoning Lord Vinsion is utterly absurd!”As time passed, the whispers grew uncontrollable and turned into wild chatter.“I think someone deliberately imprisoned Lord Vinsion.”“Sounds plausible. Someone as accomplished as Lord Vinsion often attracts the envy of vile-hearted people.”“Honestly, I can’t help but suspect Governor Oberon and Mathis Huber.”“Yes, their actions are quite suspicious and seem to have hidden motives.”“If that’s true, it means we’re all in grave danger. It’s entirely possible that one day we could become their targets too.”“My goodness, this is so serious and terrifying.”The offi

The enthusiasm of the officials toward Rael had drained all color from Mathis’s face.“This is impossible.”Frustration drove Mathis to unconsciously step backward until he accidentally bumped into a large cardboard box, causing him to fall flat on his back.“Thud!”The box spilled its contents, and envelopes scattered all over Mathis’s body.One of the envelopes on top of Mathis’s body opened, revealing a photograph. The photo showed a thin, frail child who looked sickly and an adult man smiling warmly as he extended his hand toward the boy.Alongside the photo, there was a slanted handwritten note that read:“Thank you, Lord Vinsion, for your help. I have regained hope for recovering from cancer—”Mathis stared blankly at the photo, as if struck by lightning.Before he could finish reading the words on the photo, he hastily threw it away, as though it were a poisonous object.It turned out that even though there was no money or gold stored in that warehouse, the hope Rael had given
