Chapter 964 – Aldric and Cassandra’s Horrific Realization
*****Aldric currently looked like he had just witnessed a ghost personally greet him by name.His jaw hung so low that it practically touched his chest, his pupils dilated as though he had suddenly learned he was adopted and his real father was a dragon.He wasn’t breathing.He wasn’t blinking.He wasn’t even alive-looking.Instead, he looked… exceptionally horrified, as though he had walked into a real-life horror.He had understood where this was heading.And when that truth sank in, the old patriarch released another exhausted, defeated sigh… the kind a man gives when he sees that his son has at last understood just how dire the situation truly was.He didn’t bother addressing Aldric… the man was mentally offline.Instead, he turned back to Cassandra and asked the one question that mattered.“Do you… perhaps remember the title of that great sir we went there to welcome that day?”His voice came out raspy and brittle, like it might shatter mid-sentence, and hearing him,
Chapter 963 – Aldric and Cassandra’s Utter Bewilderment II
*****“Do you recall a few weeks ago… when the entire Blackwoods household… you, me, your father, your mother, and your uncles… all of us went to the airport at dawn and stayed there until dusk?”Both Cassandra and her father froze the moment they heard the old man’s question.Of course, they remembered. How could they forget something so bizarre?Back then, they had been dragged out of bed before sunrise, forced to dress in their best, the entire family arranged in perfect formation like soldiers awaiting inspection.The old patriarch had personally prepared an extravagant gift… the kind so precious that even the Blackwoods’ wealth felt strained by it.But it wasn’t just them.Every first-rank family and power in Riverton City had been there that day… hundreds of elite figures gathered in one place, standing stiffly with reverence, anticipation buzzing in the air like electricity.Even the airport had been locked down that day, no flights allowed in or out… other than the one
Chapter 962 – Aldric and Cassandra’s Utter Bewilderment
*****Right now, the Blackwoods Patriarch looked like a broken stranger… someone crushed beneath the weight of panic and despair.His dignity, his aura, and his authority… all of it had evaporated.Cassandra and Aldric stared at him in utter speechlessness, unable to reconcile the man before them with the one they had known their whole lives.And like that, heavy, suffocating seconds passed.Finally, Cassandra and Aldric exchanged another look… one filled with shock, worry, and a complicated mix of pity and dread.Then Cassandra inhaled deeply, gathering herself.In the past few weeks, she had grown more than she even noticed, and that quiet steadiness showed itself as she approached her grandfather... moving slowly and cautiously, almost as if she were nearing a frightened, injured creature.Then she bent down and placed a gentle hand on his trembling shoulder.“Grandfather,” she murmured softly, her voice steady, warm, and soothing in a way she hadn’t mastered before. “Plea
Chapter 961 – The Blackwoods Patriarch’s Devastation
*****Cassandra and her father weren’t merely dumbstruck at this moment… they were frozen, caught in a stunned paralysis as they stared at the old patriarch sprawled on the floor.His horror-stricken face, the sheen of tears trembling in his eyes, and the way his chest heaved in panic… it was like watching their pillar of strength suddenly shatter into dust.They couldn’t even move or breathe.And honestly… who could blame them?Yes, it was devastating to lose the chance to repair their broken relationship with Xavier. The Prime Minister’s attitude alone made it clear that the boy wasn’t just important… he was practically being treated like living royalty.Losing someone like that… anyone would feel sick with regret and might even become depressed.But to go as far as declaring that their entire family, which had been created for centuries, was finished and utterly doomed beyond hope?Even for them, that sounded… extreme.And because of that, the father and daughter could onl
Chapter 960 – Our Family is Doomed
*****Yes, the Blackwoods had already regretted how everything turned out, even between them and Xavier, after realizing they had lost the opportunity to have someone like that in their family.But they had also known the truth:Xavier would never, ever be their friend again.It was a tremendous loss and regret… all the more so because the boy’s intellect was terrifyingly sharp.His skill in both medicine and cultivation was so advanced that if he declared himself second-best in Riverton City, no one would dare to claim first place.But to the Blackwoods… Apart from Cassandra and Darius, none of them had truly regretted losing him as a person. Their regret came from the power behind him and the fact that they had repaid his kindness with pure evil.Still, they had comforted themselves: “We’re the Blackwoods… a first-rank, mighty family. There are plenty of geniuses in the world to recruit.”But today… everything was broken beyond repair, splintered into fragments that could ne
Chapter 959
*****As soon as every task was assigned, everyone sprang into motion.The room erupted into movement, everyone rushing to their various offices to prepare.Immediately, papers shuffled, chairs scraped, and footsteps thundered. Then, eventually… one after the other, they all rushed out like a squad responding to an urgent battlefield summons.Meanwhile, outside…The two guards and their captain had finally managed to get up from the ground after what felt like an eternity of staying there.But their legs, however, hadn’t fully gotten the memo. Instead, they swayed slightly, trembling like newborn deer.Yes, they’ve technically awakened now, but their minds still keep skipping back and forth between reality and disbelief.One moment their senses were working, and the next, their thoughts would overload and flicker out again.And who could blame them?Everything they had witnessed today was far beyond anything their minds could ever understand or accept.Was it the fact that
