“You—” Xavier froze in his tracks and his eyes widened significantly, seeing the scary scene before him.

Unlike what Frosh Junior had dreaded that caused him to take Laura hostage, Xavier hadn’t even had him in mind. Instead, he had merely wanted to help his mother back to her feet, yet…

Following Xavier’s shock, strong tremors coursed through his body and a cold sweat covered him.

He then glanced urgently at his mother, only to find her trembling with a look of horror and helples

  • Chapter 1232 – Silas’s Urgency

    *****Time stretched unnaturally, each passing second feeling heavier than the last.For what felt like an eternity, Silas remained frozen in place, neither moving nor reacting, until finally, his lips parted again.“Have… the other first-rank families discovered his identity?” he whispered to himself, the words coming out slow and uneven, sounding as though they were forcing themselves through a tightening throat.The thought struck him with the force of a lightning bolt, and almost immediately, his entire body reacted… trembling uncontrollably as a cold sweat broke out across his skin.“My… my family has indeed… kicked an iron boulder this time,” he muttered, his face pale as the weight of realization settled heavily on him.His voice wavered despite his effort to steady it, the fear now impossible to hide. “Seems not just our legs would be broken this time, but… we might even be vaporized.”The words hung in the air, grim and suffocating, as the full extent of the situation

  • Chapter 1231 – Silas’s Realization

    *****For a split second, Silas genuinely believed something had gone wrong… either he had opened the wrong page or the platform had somehow redirected him to a completely different region.After all, what he was seeing wasn’t just strange or unexpected… it was downright absurd, the kind that made you question whether reality itself had briefly lost its mind.There was no way something like this should be appearing in Riverton’s trending section, not with the people involved and certainly not under normal circumstances.Silas immediately checked the page again, then again… and again, his movements growing slightly sharper each time as though he could force the truth to change through sheer persistence.He refreshed, backed out, re-entered, and even checked the region settings just to be certain he hadn’t somehow misclicked in a moment of distraction.Each time, he expected a correction… some small shift that would confirm this was all a mistake. But there was none.No matter ho

  • Chapter 1230 – Silas’s Disbelief

    *****“The moment the incidents occurred, social media exploded,” the subordinate began, his tone tightening as he recalled the events. “Accounts everywhere began to post, repost, and spread it like wildfire. For a time, it was complete chaos.”Silas’s expression didn’t change, but his eyes sharpened slightly.“As expected,” the man continued, “damage control kicked in quickly. Within an hour, most of the posts were wiped clean like they were never there.”A faint, humorless smirk tugged at the corner of Silas’s lips.“That sounds more like them,” he murmured under his breath.“But…” the subordinate hesitated briefly before continuing, “for some reason, Anonymous404 stepped in. They posted a new report… far more detailed, and just like that… everything exploded again.”Silas’s brows furrowed deeply, his eyes narrowing into slits.He didn’t interrupt or ask questions.He remained silent, listening as the subordinate explained what had led to the incident… what had driven his f

  • Chapter 1229 – Anonymous404’s Reputation

    *****Anonymous404 was a group that existed in the shadows… unseen, untraceable, and utterly untouchable.They weren’t rumors or myths spoken about by bored elites trying to scare each other into behaving… they are painfully and inconveniently real.This group held verified accounts across every major media platform in the city, with a loud, undeniable presence.However, their identities and physical locations remained a complete void… nothing but an empty question mark no one had ever been able to fill.Every first-rank family and top-tier force with even a shred of influence had poured resources into uncovering them.Hackers, intelligence units, and private investigators… some even went so far as to recruit defectors from rival factions to gain an edge.Yet all of it led to the same result… nothing.Not a trace, clue, or even digital footprint that could be chased.It was as if Anonymous404 didn’t operate within the system… but above it, or worse… outside of it entirely.T

  • Chapter 1228 – Silas’s Concern

    *****Instinctively, Silas didn’t even bother reading the headline at first.Instead, his gaze snapped upward toward the source of the post, focusing on the profile behind the publication.And then…His heart skipped a beat.“These… guys?” he muttered in a daze, his expression instantly turning grave.He stared at the mask… the infamous, mocking, and almost taunting symbol staring right back at him from the profile picture…The Guy Fawkes mask.It didn’t smirk, but somehow, it felt like it was.Seeing this, Silas swallowed and hurriedly dragged his gaze downward, finally forcing himself to read the headline.And the moment he did…“This…”His eyes widened so abruptly it looked as though they might physically pop out of their sockets, and his heartbeat spiked violently, slamming against his ribs with such force it genuinely felt like it might break free and sprint away from his body in protest.“How…?”His lips parted slowly, disbelief freezing his expression in place as

  • Chapter 1227 – Silas’s Confusion

    *****Silas slipped his phone out of his pocket and glanced at the caller ID.But in the very next second, his brows drew together ever so slightly… not enough to be obvious, but enough to betray a flicker of curiosity.Then, without hesitation, he pressed the green button and lifted the device to his ear.“Any new intel for me?” he asked, his tone deliberately casual and almost bored, as he stretched his neck and let out a lazy yawn.The performance was flawless, enough to leave anyone listening to assume he was a man completely at ease… someone with no racing thoughts, and certainly no recent brush with a walking disaster named Xavier.There was a brief pause on the other end.A little too long, enough that Silas’s eyes shifted faintly, suspicion creeping in as he wondered whether the call had dropped… or whether the caller had suddenly lost the ability to speak altogether.He was just about to pull the phone away and check the screen when…“Master,” a voice finally came th
