“Grandfather, how—how can you want someone like that, who probably doesn’t have any idea about treatment, to treat you?” Cassandra asked helplessly, staring at her grandfather in disbelief.

“Moreover, I don’t even think there’s any truth in what he just said—it’s nothing but gibberish that could only be understood by fools like him!” She spat, then glared hatefully and aggressively at the still-composed Xavier.

Just then, however, she heard heavy breathing beside her, compelling her to look, and upon realizing the heavy breathing came from her grandfather, whose face was now rapidly shifting between red, blue, and purple several times faster than earlier, and her anxiety returned and her eyes became filled with unshed tears.

“Grandfather, grandfather, please don’t die on me, please! Is it him you want, I will—”

“I’m not dying!” the old man, who seemed to be taking his last breath, abruptly snapped, glaring at Cassandra.

“You—how dare you little brat call me a fool?”

  • Chapter 939 – This is the Erudite Grandmaster

    *****Confusion rapidly settled in the Prime Minister’s bones as he turned his gaze fully onto Xavier, studying him from head to toe.But then suddenly, his narrowed… not in suspicion, but in baffled assessment.Xavier was undeniably handsome... striking, even, with a refined sharpness to his features. But he was still very young, no more than his mid-twenties.He looked like the heir of an influential, powerful, and ranked family... someone who should be studying etiquette and preparing to lead his household one day, not radiating this strange, overwhelming, and inexplicable pressure.But youth didn’t matter to him, status didn’t matter, and even lineage didn’t matter.No, what took the Prime Minister off guard and genuinely rattled him… was Xavier’s aura.Because, despite his young appearance, his calm expression, and his casual posture, his presence felt ancient, heavy, and transcendent.The aura didn’t match the body. It didn’t even match any mortal body.It was the kind

  • Chapter 938 – Thanks for Personally Coming to Meet Me

    *****All three guards instantly jolted violently at the sudden sound of the door opening, cutting through the tension… an abrupt click that snapped their aggression like a whip.Their shoulders stiffened in the following second, their eyes constricting, and for a heartbeat, all three looked as if someone had just slapped discipline back into their skulls.They spun around in perfect unison, and… out stepped an elderly man in a pristine white robe whose expression was a chaotic storm of anxiety, delight, and unfiltered excitement.He looked less like a dignified statesman and more like a kid who had just seen his parents return from a year-long trip with gifts. If joy could trip over its own feet, this was it.And the moment the three guards saw this person… like this, they froze completely, as if someone had just hit pause on their souls.For a moment that felt like an eternity, they couldn’t think or react. Instead, their brains scrambled to accept what their eyes were seeing.

  • Chapter 937 – Xavier’s Calm Decision

    *****As soon as the two guards felt the terrifying, icy, and heavy aura erupting from their captain, they trembled violently, swallowing hard even though the accusation and aura weren’t directed at them.“You barged in here without any authorization, which alone, on its own is a serious offense,” the captain continued, his voice growing darker and heavier. “But you even had the audacity to claim you had just spoken to the Prime Minister on the phone. Are you tired of your freedom? Do you want to spend the rest of your life behind bars?”His tone was so frigid that it could have flash-frozen boiling water, causing even the pressure in the air to shift… becoming both oppressive and heavy.The two guards couldn't help but tremble even harder at this, exchanging panicked glances before darting their eyes toward their captain.“Sir… Sir Captain,” one one them whispered nervously, sweat dripping down his temple. “What… what do we do about him?”The captain didn’t immediately answer t

  • Chapter 936 – The Captain’s Accusation

    *****“HAHAHAHAHAHA!”Loud laughter erupted at the building’s entrance… sounding wild, uncontrollable, and absolutely unhinged.In the very next second, the three guards doubled over, slapping their thighs, and wheezing as though Xavier had just delivered the greatest comedy performance in the history of mankind.“He just spoke on the phone with the Prime Minister! Hahahaha!” one of the two guards howled, his voice cracking.“I’ve met many jokers in my life,” the captain gasped between fits of laughter, “but one like this? Hahaha! What a masterpiece!”“Hehehe! He just spoke to the Prime Minister! And while he did that, I just spoke to the Nation’s president!” the second guard added sarcastically, nearly collapsing from his own joke.They laughed so hard to the extent that it seemed as though laughter was the only thing keeping them alive… as if silence itself would suffocate them.Especially the two guards.Even the captain… usually the picture of cold composure and aloofness

  • Chapter 935 – The Guard’s Disbelief

    *****Still outside the Prime Minister’s office building.At this moment, the two guards and their usually aloof captain were equally dumbstruck… frozen so completely that they might as well have been sculpted out of shock itself.The three men stood rooted to the pavement in a shared stupor, their mouths hanging wide open, and their jaws practically scraping the ground as if gravity itself had suddenly increased for their faces alone.They stared at Xavier in a dazed, borderline hysterical silence, each of them wearing an expression that suggested they had just realized he wasn’t an ordinary citizen but an alien disguised as a human, sent here strictly to destroy their sanity.Their eyes were wide, unfocused, and almost trembling, refusing to accept the reality they had just heard.They remained like that… mute, stiff, and mentally malfunctioning for what felt like ages, before, finally…“Did…” one of the guards croaked, his lips opening and closing like a fish stranded on lan

  • Chapter 934 – Actually, I Just Called the Prime Minister

    *****Meanwhile, back at the entrance of the Prime Minister’s office building.A moment ago, after Glenn dialed the number…The two guards and their captain glared at Xavier with a mixture of mockery, contempt, and pure condescension, making no intention of interrupting him.If anything, they just listened to him calmly… almost too calmly as he spoke casually and lazily into the buttoned cell phone.They didn’t interrupt, didn’t react, and just waited.Then finally, after a moment, they watched him slowly remove the phone from his ear, appearing helpless.“He didn’t even do what I wanted before hanging up,” Xavier sighed to himself.And that was the breaking point.The guards could no longer hold it in.“Pft!” The first guard burst out laughing, slapping his thigh. “I’ve seen a lot of pompous, pretentious second-gen brats in this place, but you? You’re a whole new breed!”The second guard stepped forward, his arms crossed, his face twisted into a mocking grin.“Hmph! Look
