Chapter 1178 - Xavier’s Puzzle
*****A faint smile tugged at Xavier’s lips.Buying a new phone during a trip sounded reasonable enough to him, and the idea seemed to amuse him slightly, making the corners of his mouth curve upward.Still, after a few seconds of thought, he ultimately shook his head and released a quiet sigh.“Whatever,” he said softly. “I will just charge it when I get home and ask Dorothy about the situation.”With that small matter settled, Xavier leaned back into the incredibly comfortable leather seat of the Escalade.The vehicle’s interior was practically luxurious enough to be mistaken for a private lounge. The cushioning molded perfectly to his body, and the subtle hum of the engine created a strangely soothing background noise.Then he closed his eyes.Xavier had not slept for even a single minute since the previous day.For most people, that would have already caused them to collapse, but for Xavier…He wasn’t affected per se, and even if things got worse, all he needed was a bri
Chapter 1177 - Xavier’s Travel Plan
*****The final herb Xavier needed wasn’t just rare, it was legendary, something that couldn’t be cultivated or artificially grown in a greenhouse or farm.Instead, it had to be a naturally grown wild specimen that had survived in nature for more than a century… a wild oneIn the world of medicinal herbs, that distinction meant everything.Cultivated herbs… even high-quality ones could never match the purity and potency of a naturally grown wild plant that had endured decades of natural growth.And because of that…Such items were almost impossible to obtain.That was precisely why Xavier had been concerned about it from the very beginning, yet now…“Hufff!”He exhaled a small sigh, and in the following second, the faint frown on his face gradually eased.“At least I already know where I can find one,” he muttered quietly.With that said, a small smile slowly appeared on his lips, the tension in his eyes softening slightly.“Moreover, there are still three days before the
Chapter 1176 - An Unexpected Gift
*****Ironically, the chaos shaking the entirety of Riverton City right now… families trembling, fortunes collapsing, power shifting, and powerful figures panicking, was caused… indirectly by Xavier.And yet, the man responsible for all of it was completely oblivious.Instead, he sat quietly inside his luxurious black Escalade SUV right now, staring into nothingness like someone who had merely finished an afternoon stroll, his posture relaxed, yet, his mind far away.Yes… his own.The vehicle he occupied was no ordinary car, and no… he didn’t purchase it.Instead, this black Escalade belonged to Sage Myron… his personal, official, and most treasured vehicle.The modifications of this vehicle alone… reinforced armor plating, multi-layer bulletproof glass, high-grade communication systems, and a custom suspension system, had reportedly cost more than the vehicle itself.It was essentially a moving fortress, and yet…When Xavier had decided to leave the estate earlier, Sage Myro
Chapter 1175 – The Patriarch’s Revenge On His Family
*****“What can we do?” the patriarch asked calmly, his question landing like a stone dropped into still water.For a brief moment, Mason, Nico, and Nico’s wife simply stared at him, their minds struggling to process the unexpected response.They had clearly expected orders, strategies, or at the very least some form of reassurance.Instead, they received a question tossed right back at them.The three exchanged uneasy glances.“But… but you are the patriarch, aren’t you?” Mason finally blurted out, his voice trembling with barely restrained panic.The young man’s earlier arrogance had evaporated completely, and right now, he sounded less like the proud heir of a powerful family and more like a frightened child looking for an adult to fix everything.“You must know what we can do,” Nico quickly added, nodding his head vigorously as though reinforcing the idea might magically make it true.His voice carried a forced confidence that fooled absolutely no one. “You’ve always know
Chapter 1174 – The Patriarch’s Disbelief
*****The Orien’s patriarch began to walk back toward his seat.Usually, he carried himself with a straight, commanding posture that radiated authority and pride.His back was always ramrod straight, his steps steady and confident, the very embodiment of a powerful family head.But now?He looked like a completely different person.His shoulders were hunched, his back bent slightly forward.Each step was slow and heavy, like that of a man who had just lost everything he had spent his entire life building.It was the walk of someone who had been defeated.When he reached the podium, his foot caught slightly on the edge of the step, and he nearly stumbled forward.For a brief moment, it seemed as though he might fall flat on his face, but he managed to steady himself at the last second, gripping the podium before slowly climbing onto it.Then he approached his seat, and… he dropped into it.Everyone watched him, holding their breath.At first, they thought the old patriarch
Chapter 1173 – “So… Karma Truly Exists After All.”
*****If the earlier news from the first retainer had already shattered their composure, leaving them reeling in shock, disbelief, and hopelessness, then this announcement was like the final hammer strike that reduced the remaining fragments to dust.“What… what… what did you just say?” the patriarch stammered.For the first time in decades, the old man’s composure was completely shattered.His chest rose and fell erratically, each breath sharp and uneven as if his lungs had suddenly forgotten how to function properly.His fingers trembled uncontrollably, and the look on his face resembled someone who had just been handed his own death certificate.The retainer swallowed nervously but forced himself to continue.“Master… according to the intelligence we received, the… the CCIB has already dispatched agents to seal every physical asset belonging to the Oriens family. That includes all our buildings, our businesses… and this mansion.” His voice dropped into a strained whisper. “T
