Chapter 954 – The Wealthy Man’s True Color
*****Everyone stopped mid-step, their brains momentarily shutting down.“Not… an ordinary person?” the secretary echoed dumbly.But the wealthy man didn’t answer. Instead, his gaze sharpened, a faint flash of insight glinting through his eyes.“To be respected by that old man to such an extent… for him to act so subservient, caring nothing for his reputation or authority… it can only mean one thing.”His voice grew lower, heavier, and so serious that all of them felt their hearts skip… not gently, but violently, as though a fist had punched their chests from the inside.The wealthy man exhaled, his expression tightening with exasperation. “Wasn’t this city supposed to be unclaimed territory?” he asked, sounding genuinely helpless.“Wasn’t that the reason we put in all this effort… even planning to invest billions to make it one of our domains?” he demanded, his voice deepening as frustration bled through.His subordinates turned solemn, their expressions hardening with the we
Chapter 953 – The Wealthy Man’s Threat
*****The breathing of the Prime Minister’s subordinates instantly hitched upon hearing the wealthy man’s words, all of them staring wide-eyed, their faces turning even paler than before… an impressive achievement considering they already looked like powdered flour.But before any of them could think… before apologies, excuses, knee-bending, or desperate pleading could even form…“Hehehe…”The Wealthy Man chuckled. But it wasn’t joyful or warm.No… this laugh slithered through the air with the unsettling softness of someone lightly sharpening a knife.Then, without another word, he turned around.“Tell the Prime Minister that I require a well-deserving and satisfactory explanation for what happened today,” he said casually… far too casually.Then…“Otherwise…”His voice shifted, dropping into a lethal coldness that scraped across their skin like a blade. The murderous aura that seeped from him in that single word was enough to make several men choke on their breath.He didn
Chapter 952 – The Horrified PM’s Subordinates
*****As soon as the Prime Minister’s subordinates heard the bodyguard’s question, they didn’t merely tremble… they turned ghostly pale, their faces draining of color so fast it looked as though someone had yanked the soul straight out of their bodies.They stood frozen, stiff and blank-eyed, resembling freshly unearthed corpses more than living men.And worst of all, terror didn’t just settle into them… it detonated, making their knees weaken, and causing a cold shiver to crawl up their spines with such intensity that several amongst them felt their legs threatening to give way entirely.The very suggestion of razing down the Prime Minister’s office… a place fortified like a military fortress and guarded by elite-ranked fighters would have been laughable coming from anyone else.They might have even mocked the insanity of the question.But this wasn’t anyone.These two bodyguards were monsters in human skin, their auras so oppressive and overwhelming that anyone who saw them w
Chapter 951 – Should We Raze Down this Building
*****The wealthy man jabbed a violently trembling finger toward the doors… toward the place the Prime Minister had stood just minutes before.“My boss brought a life-changing opportunity to this backwater excuse of a city… an opportunity he could’ve taken to any of the dozens of cities far above this dusty pit, and how was that goodwill received?” he spat, each word gaining more rage, more venom, and more volume.“Not only did that piece of sh… that old man fail to appreciate the master’s generosity,” he roared, stumbling over his own fury, “but he even acted aloof! AL…OOF! As if he’s anyone worth noticing! And on top of that… on TOP of that, he dared to disrespect my master so openly?! This is ABSOLUTELY unacceptable!”His chest rose and fell like he was trying to breathe through molten metal.And the moment the Prime Minister’s subordinates heard him, they felt their stomachs drop into their shoes.If despair had wheels, it would’ve run them all over at once because they had
Chapter 950 – The Aftermath of the Shocking Event
*****It had already been over ten full minutes since the Prime Minister and Xavier departed the office… ten minutes of the Prime Minister practically chauffeuring Xavier away like a loyal driver escorting his revered master, and yet… life inside and outside the building had not resumed.Not even close.Everyone remained exactly where they had been the moment Xavier and the Prime Minister leftThe captain was still half-kneeling, his eyes completely unfocused.The two guards remained bent toward the floor as if gravity had personally claimed them.Inside the building, by the exit, the wealthy man was frozen mid… spiritual meltdown, while his subordinates hovered behind him like malfunctioning robots.His guards stood like abandoned mannequins.The Prime Minister’s subordinates were stuck in an identical trance.And above all… the Blackwoods were so still that even statues would’ve accused them of overacting.No one blinked, no one breathed too loudly, and no one shifted even
Chapter 949 – The Spiritually Collapsed Wealthy Man
*****As soon as the Prime Minister heard Xavier’s question, his spine turned rigid, suddenly appearing as if he had just been plugged into an invisible power source.“Yes, Grandmaster,” he replied with excessive respect, making Xavier’s eyebrow twitch.'Will you quit with the never-ending ‘Grandmaster’?' Xavier thought wearily to himself. ‘For the love of sanity, just once… call me Xavier.’But he swallowed the urge to correct the old man. Now wasn’t the time for that battle.Instead, he paused… hesitating just a fraction, and then finally, he asked sincerely, “Are you sure you aren’t doing anything at the moment? I might take up some of your time.”The moment those words left his mouth, however, the wealthy man standing near the entrance did something unintentionally comedic… he forced himself back to his senses and strained his ears like a starving man sniffing food.His neck extended just a little too far, his posture stiffening.‘Surely, he would have calmed down by now,’
