“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 helplessness, with sweat rolling down the side of her face as she cautiously watched the knife pressed against her neck.

‘How—how dare he?! How dare he?!! How—how dare he?!!!’ His thoughts raced with rage as he trembled frantically, fixing a death glare on Frosh Junior who has now become relieved—wearing a mockery expression on his face.

Following Xavier’s rage, he released a terrifying aura and cast Frosh Junior a death glare that frightened him to the core.

Frosh Junior felt another wave of tr

  • Chapter 931 – The Infuriated Personal Assistant

    *****For a moment that went on for an eternity, everyone in the conference section of the office froze.Even time itself seemed to pause, each second stretching into eternity.No one breathed, no one coughed, and not even a blinking eyelid dared break the silence.Then finally, one of the Prime Minister’s aides… a middle-aged man who had spent decades observing his leader, blurted out, his jaw slack and his eyes wide: “Is… is that… really the Prime Minister?”The words instantly snapped everyone out of their stunned stupor, and in the following second, every head swiveled, incredulous faces exchanging dumbstruck glances.…All the workers of the Prime Minister’s office knew the importance of today… the day on which the monumental deal with the second-wealthiest man in the nation would be finalized.It was a deal that promised prosperity and influence unlike anything Riverton City had ever seen.And yet, despite having anticipated this opportunity, they had never imagined the

  • Chapter 930 – The Overtly-Excited Prime Minister

    *****'Is he coming?!That alone sent a tidal wave of excitement crashing through the Prime Minister’s system… excitement stronger than the thrill he had felt when the wealthy man announced his plans to build a new branch in his city.That moment had been monumental…But this? This was spiritual-level excitement.The old man nearly leaped like a jubilant teenager… almost.But he still retained one microscopic thread of self-control. Plus, he still hadn’t confirmed his suspicion.'Maybe the grandmaster is sending someone instead,’ he told himself desperately, clinging to the thought to stabilize his emotions, and it worked… barely.“Ye… yes, Grandmaster. I’m at the office,” he replied, his voice trembling but respectful to the point of worship.There was a short moment of pause. Then a soft exhale. And finally…“I’m currently outside your office building,” the voice said, still sounding calm, casual, lazy, and nonchalant. “If it’s convenient for you, please, I need you to spe

  • Chapter 929 – Is He Coming?

    *****Still within the Prime Minister’s enormous... no, downright absurdly gigantic office, specifically in the conference section…A tense, oxygen-starving silence smothered the entire room at this moment.Every living soul present… whether the Prime Minister’s elite subordinates, the wealthy man’s sharp-suited aides, the intimidating bodyguards, or even the wealthy man himself, sat frozen in a state of collective shock.Not a single person could move, breathe properly, or even blink correctly. Instead, they simply stared.And what were they staring at?The Prime Minister… who had just lost every ounce of his legendary composure, erupting from his seat as though someone had personally informed him that the sky had fallen and the earth was next in line.The sight was… indescribable and a spectacle. A political leader behaving like a startled pigeon.But the Prime Minister himself seemed blissfully unaware of the earthquake-level chaos his reaction had unleashed right now.He

  • Chapter 928 – This… This is the Erudite Grandmaster!

    *****Hearing the Prime Minister’s question, the man opposite him hesitated for a moment, a flicker running across his expression… calculating and cautious, before he finally answered.“Since you’ve already cleared the site for us, making things significantly easier, once we sign the deal today, we will immediately dispatch our construction crews from the capital tomorrow, and after they settle in, we can begin work on the site immediately,” he explained with professional certainty.“Hmm.”The Prime Minister nodded his head slowly, thinking through the logistics and weighing the implications.His expression remained calm, but inside, the gears of excitement were spinning hard enough to power a generator.“Good then,” he eventually said, his voice steady. “How many people are coming so that I can arrange accommodation for them throughout their stay here?”“This…”The wealthy man’s eyes brightened instantly, as though he had just been told he could skip taxes forever. “You will

  • Chapter 927 – The Prime Minister’s Office

    *****Currently inside office… a wide, impressive space that practically whispers wealth and authority rather than screaming it.It wasn’t extravagantly decorated… no golden lions, no marble pillars, and no million-dollar worth of pain, just deliberate and controlled elegance.The office stretched wide, lined with polished cabinets, soft couches, a broad executive desk, chairs arranged with military neatness, three carefully chosen picture frames on the wall, several imposing national flags, and a conference area set perfectly at the center.Anyone with eyes would immediately be able to tell that a public official worked here… but not the ordinary kind.This was the workplace of someone who carried might… someone who controlled tides with signatures.This is the Prime Minister’s personal office.At this moment, nobody sat behind the grand, executive desk or lounged on the couches. Instead, every person present occupied the conference area, the air buzzing with expectation.At

  • Chapter 926 – The Hostile Guards II

    *****Xavier couldn’t help but hesitate for a second after hearing the captain’s words, but he maintained his calm exterior.He didn’t have an appointment, but… he knew he didn’t need one to meet the Prime Minister.But… Could he say that? Of course, no, so…“No, I don’t,” he responded sincerely.However, the second the two guards heard this, they exchanged knowing smirks, as if Xavier’s answer had confirmed their assumptions about entitled rich kids barging in uninvited.Xavier caught the look and hesitated again for a split second, but his resolve remained firm.The captain’s eyes, on the other hand, darkened, an almost tangible chill radiating from him.The guards, emboldened, muttered under their breath:“All these so-called young masters… thinking respect is owed to them by default.”“Foolish, entitled brats,” the other added, spitting slightly in disdain.Before the words could escalate further, the captain’s icy glare silenced them instantly.The two guards directly
