Chapter 1496 – ‘The Grand Elder... Dead?’
*****The instant Hunter's words reached the Scoan father-and-son duo, both of them froze as though someone had cast a petrification spell over them.For several long seconds, neither of them could even comprehend what they had just heard, and then, almost at the same time, they blurted out,“Huh?”Their eyes snapped toward Hunter, burning with disbelief, fury, and murderous intent.“What… what do you mean?” Lucius spat through clenched teeth, while Augustus glared so fiercely that he looked ready to rip Hunter apart on the spot.Yet Hunter merely folded his arms more comfortably and smiled, offering no more explanation whatsoever.That instantly infuriated the father and son so thoroughly that the veins on their temples bulged even harder.They were on the verge of exploding when, all of a sudden, a trembling voice interrupted the suffocating tension.“Bro... Brother...” a young guard stammered nervously.His entire body shook uncontrollably as he spoke, and even lifting his head see
Chapter 1494 – “You'll Only Find His Corpse”
*****Augustus simply stood there with his head held high, staring arrogantly into the empty space before him as though he had already forced the hidden expert into silence.Meanwhile, Lucius suddenly let out an arrogant chuckle.“Hehehe...” His earlier fear seemed to have evaporated after hearing his father's confident declaration.“In fact, Father,” he said with an excited grin as he turned toward Augustus, “I think this fellow arrived at exactly the right time.”He casually pointed toward the empty air, completely ignoring the fact that he still had no idea where the mysterious expert actually was.“Didn't we just discuss needing a scapegoat? Honestly, I think this E-rank fellow would make a far better example than this worthless low-life.”He gestured dismissively toward Hunter as though shooing away an insignificant insect.“Just imagine it,” Lucius continued, his grin widening with every word.“People throughout Riverton City are already wondering whether we're weak after losing
Chapter 1494 – Augustus’ Arrogance
*****Several servants instinctively lowered their heads after a moment. The workers' faces became even paler, and Lucius's lips twitched uncontrollably.The arrogance he had painstakingly rebuilt moments ago cracked once more.As for Augustus... he felt as though an invisible bolt of thunder had exploded directly inside his chest.His breathing momentarily became uneven, and his carefully maintained composure threatened to collapse.Meanwhile, Hunter stood silently where he was, unable to react for several moments.Then… slowly, a bitter smile spread across his face.'What was I even thinking...?' He laughed inwardly, the laughter full of self-ridicule.'How could I seriously believe they would be interested in such offers?'He almost wanted to smack himself across the forehead as he recalled his earlier fear.'They're members of the Master's Guild for goodness sake...'Those few words alone instantly answered everything.‘Compared to an organization of that caliber… the Scoan Family
Chapter 069 – A Conspiracy Theory
*****"Legendary physician my ass!"Williams' thunderous laughter rolled through the chamber, echoing off the walls as though he had just heard the greatest joke ever conceived.He laughed so much that his shoulders shook violently, his face flushed red.He even had to wipe at the corners of his eyes as tears of laughter threatened to spill over.At that moment, he looked less like the dignified eldest son of the Hunter Family and more like a man who had accidentally stumbled into the world's funniest comedy performance.Still chuckling, he slowly turned his gaze toward Nicholas.His eyes swept over the young man from head to toe, and the longer he looked, the broader his grin became until it stretched shamelessly from ear to ear.The situation had become unbearably amusing in his eyes.Truthfully, when Jason had first announced that he had invited another legendary physician, Williams had been slightly nervous.Of course, he firmly believed that no physician alive could truly rival t
Chapter 1493 – The Expert’s Response
*****The moment Augustus made the offer, Hunter’s entire body stiffened.His expression became unusually tense, his hands unconsciously tightened into fists, and his heart thumped wildly in his chest.'Will they accept...?' That single question repeatedly echoed through his mind.And as it did, his breathing became uneven unconsciously.Although he knew the people from the Guild possessed an extraordinary background, the Scoan Family's offer was undeniably generous.Honored Elder, unlimited access to resources, status, and authority… almost anyone in Riverton City would lose their mind upon hearing such an invitation.'What if...' His heartbeat pounded even more violently in his chest. 'What if they actually agree?'His thoughts spiraled into chaos, realizing the implicationsNot only would his revenge end even before it truly began, but he would most likely even lose his life.The silence that followed seemed endless.Every passing second only made Hunter's anxiety grow heavier.The
Chapter 1492 - The Father and Son’s Renewed Confidence
*****Lucius’s voice carried renewed confidence, as though he had already uncovered the truth.Without waiting for Hunter to answer, Lucius quickly turned away.His eyes cautiously swept across the surroundings again, though every movement betrayed the tension he tried to hide beneath a calm exterior.Then suddenly, he cleared his throat awkwardly."Senior..." His tone instantly changed.Gone was the arrogance and contempt. Even his posture subtly became more respectful.It was almost comical.Only moments ago, he had acted like the emperor of the world.Now, he sounded like a merchant desperately trying to negotiate with a bandit who had already emptied his warehouse."I don't know what that low-life promised you..."He forced out a polite smile while continuing to glance around cautiously, hoping to locate the hidden expert."But this is Scoan territory." His voice became increasingly confident. "We can offer you one hundred times more.""If he promised you money, we'll pay thrice a
