Chapter 1704 – Matthew’s Rage
*****Matthew was no longer merely enjoying the feeling of superiority. He wanted Xavier to understand just how completely the situation had turned against him. He wanted to see the confidence disappear from Xavier's face, to watch him realize that all his previous arrogance had led him to this moment.With armed men surrounding the hotel and sniper rifles trained on his head, Xavier should have been trembling, pleading, or desperately searching for a way to survive.That was what Matthew expected.Yet Xavier didn’t even react to his threat. It was as though he hadn’t heard a word he had said.If anything, he calmly surveyed his surroundings, his gaze sweeping across the heavily armed fighters and the hotel guests who had been forced to evacuate.Almost everyone was staring at him as though he were some heinous criminal responsible for every disaster that had occurred that night.Some of the guests looked at him with fear, others with resentment, and a few with undisguised hatred. Aft
Chapter 1703 – Matthew’s Arrogance
*****There was no visible tension in Xavier’s shoulders, no hesitation in his movements, and not the slightest hint of fear in his expression.He walked forward with the same indifferent composure he might have displayed while strolling through an ordinary street, seemingly oblivious to the murderous atmosphere pressing in on him from every direction.The sight left Sage Myron and Mistress Ayra even more unsettled than the weapons did.How could someone remain so calm when dozens, perhaps hundreds, of armed men were prepared to shoot at him?Was their patriarch genuinely unconcerned, or had he already devised a plan that neither of them could comprehend?Neither dared to ask.Xavier continued walking until he reached a suitable distance from the armed men stationed at the front. Only then did he stop, lifting his gaze toward the person standing at their head.He had barely had a chance to open his mouth when a mocking voice interrupted him."So, after all that arrogance and showing o
Chapter 1702 – Walking Out to Meet the Enemies
*****Neither Mistress Ayra nor Sage Myron dared to voice the question aloud, but it echoed through both their minds.Despite their confusion, however, neither had any intention of abandoning him.Sage Myron released a deep sigh, gathered himself, and hurried after Xavier."Wait for me, Sir!" he called, quickening his pace to catch up.He might not understand what Xavier intended to do, but he certainly had no desire to remain behind. If Xavier was determined to face the situation head-on, then Sage Myron would follow him.Mistress Ayra, however, did not follow immediately.She remained where she was for a moment, watching the doorway through which the two men had disappeared.Her earlier anger had not diminished; if anything, the thought of a possible traitor had made it considerably worse.After recovering from her momentary daze, Mistress Ayra pulled out her cell phone and opened an encrypted group chat. Her fingers moved swiftly across the screen as she typed a message, each word
Chapter 1701 – Xavier’s Decision
*****Mistress Ayra’s voice was thick with disbelief. They had barely settled here, yet their enemies had already arrived with enough firepower to surround the entire hotel. It was almost as though someone had personally handed their enemies a map, circled their exact location, and helpfully included instructions on how to launch an assault.Beside her, Sage Myron ground his teeth, his eyes bloodshot with fury."Someone must have sold us out!" he declared with absolute certainty.He could think of no other reasonable explanation.Their movements should have been difficult to track, and the speed with which the enemy had descended upon them was far too suspicious to dismiss as a coincidence. Someone had known where they were, and that knowledge had somehow found its way into the hands of their enemies.The thought made his blood boil.Whoever the traitor was, Sage Myron was already imagining all the unpleasant things he would like to do to the bastard once they discovered his identity.
Chapter 1700 – The Enemies' Arrival II
*****"Don't push me! I can't breathe!""Then stop standing in the doorway!""Who the hell are you telling to move? Look at the crowd!"Shouts erupted from every direction as guests struggled to reach the exits. Some tried to force their way ahead of others, while those near the back desperately pushed forward, terrified that the authorities might lose patience and begin shooting before everyone had escaped.Nobody wanted to be the last person inside the building.The situation quickly deteriorated into complete chaos.The hotel had several elevators, but their number proved woefully inadequate for the hundreds of people trying to evacuate simultaneously.Guests crowded into the elevator lobbies, pressed against one another as they waited for the doors to open. Whenever an elevator arrived, people surged forward, desperate to squeeze inside, regardless of whether there was enough room for everyone.Those already inside found themselves packed so tightly that even lifting an arm became
Chapter 1699 – The Enemies' Arrival
*****At this moment, the entire hotel had been transformed into something straight out of a terrorist nightmare.With armed forces surrounding the building and helicopters hovering overhead, the place looked less like a hotel and more like a battlefield where an entire army had come to hunt down a group of criminals.Powerful searchlights swept across the building, illuminating the windows and balconies as though the authorities were searching for fugitives who might leap out at any moment.Inside the helicopters, snipers kept their weapons trained on the hotel, their fingers resting against the triggers while they waited for the slightest command.On the ground, vehicles were stationed strategically around the building, and heavily armed personnel guarded every possible escape route. Even someone with wings would have struggled to leave unnoticed, and anyone considering digging a tunnel would probably have been halfway through the lobby before realizing how terrible an idea that was.
