*****

Everyone, except Xavier—who was clueless about the identity of the so-called Grandfather and granddaughter duo—was stunned upon hearing the reporter's words. They swiftly turned their attention to the young man on his knees, still gasping for breath, a clear indication that he had run over with all his strength. The workers then exchanged glances, their surprise evident.

The following second, their eyes lit up with joy as though they had finally received a piece of good news after days of despair, leaving only the man who had almost captured Xavier grumpy and frustrated, wondering why the visitor had arrived at such an inconvenient time.

Meanwhile, it took Bartholomew and Cornelius a moment longer to recover from their shock, and the instant they did, their faces became etched with shock, concern, and fear.

“They didn’t inform me they were coming—what’s going on? Why are they suddenly here?” Bartholomew, who had been arrogant since his arrival, acting as though no one was a

  • Chapter 985 – The Father and Son’s Intense Shock II

    *****“What nonsense are you spitting?!” The Prime Minister barked, his voice thundering through the hall, so loud and so sharp that both the Patriarch and Reginald flinched violently, their souls nearly jumping out of their bodies.The shock hit the father and son duo like a slap.Before either of them could even recover…“Who are you calling a representative?!” the Prime Minister growled, his expression darkening dangerously. “This…”He turned sharply toward Xavier, his voice trembling with both reverence and fear.“…this is the Grandmaster! The erudite, almighty Grandmaster!”He emphasized every word, spelling it out so the Patriarch could hear clearly.And then…The silence that descended wasn’t merely the absence of sound. It was as though the world itself had stopped.At that very instant, time froze, and air stilled, the Patriarch and his son locking in place, their bodies turning rigid, and their expressions going blank, as though their souls had just been forcibly r

  • Chapter 984 – What Nonsense Are You Spitting?!

    *****The moment the Harrison Patriarch’s fingers dug into flesh, intense pain exploded sharply up his arm… clear, immediate, and undeniably real.Yet, the old man didn’t even react.Instead… he froze.‘I… I’m… not dreaming?’His heart slammed violently against his chest before he realized it, nearly leaping straight out.His soul felt as though it had been flash-frozen, shattered by the realization that this nightmare… was real.Swallowing hard, the elderly Patriarch slowly turned back toward the Prime Minister, only to see that the city’s leader was still bowing, still bent so lowly that his head nearly touched his knees, and still trembling.The sight cracked something fundamental inside the Patriarch, everything he thought he understood about power, hierarchy, and authority fracturing at once.Then… consciously or not, he turned, his gaze landing on Xavier, and… he froze.This time, it wasn’t from shock… instead, realization.Xavier no longer in any way resembled the sp

  • Chapter 983 – Reginald and His Father’s Intense Shock

    *****Still inside the luxurious VIP waiting hall.At this moment, a silence so deep, so intense, so heavy, and so merciless enveloped the space to the extent that it felt less like quiet and more like suffocation.It was the kind of silence that swallowed every trace of sound before it could even be born, making everything freeze mid-movement.Even the air itself seemed to hold its breath, appearing as though the room feared making the slightest noise and drawing attention to itself.And both Reginald and his father… they had completely locked up in place right now.They stood rooted to the spot, unmoving, unblinking, their bodies stiff as though carved from shock itself.Their eyes were wide… way too wide, as they stared at the Prime Minister bowing so deeply that it bordered on reverence bordering on worship.Their minds refused to process what their eyes were clearly seeing.No… it was completely wrong, looking like some kind of hallucination, a trick of the light, and a

  • Chapter 982 – I Think You and Your Ninth Generation Are Just Done For

    *****“Is this your grandson? The spoiled brat you said you’d bring for my family to train?”The words hung in the air, and…The Prime Minister, “_”Xavier, “_”The two froze in place, and for a brief, fragile second, it was as though time itself had tripped and face-planted.The air thickened, sound dulled, and both men stared ahead with expressions that screamed the same silent thought:‘Did he just say that?’But before either of them could recover and before reason, horror, or instinct could catch up on the Prime Minister…The elderly Patriarch narrowed his eyes, and then, slowly and deliberately, he swept his gaze over Xavier from head to toe.The scrutiny was sharp, judgmental, and entirely unrestrained, his lips curling slightly and his nose wrinkling in open displeasure, as though he had just noticed dust on an otherwise pristine artifact.Then finally…“Tsk.” He clicked his tongue.“He is indeed a spoilt brat as you had told me,” the old man declared bluntly. “Ac

  • Chapter 981 – Is This Your Grandson?

    *****The maid nodded her head hurriedly… almost violently, to the question asked in unison, her neck moving so fast that it was a miracle it didn’t snap.However, anxiety clung to her like smoke, and before she could fully steady herself, she opened her mouth to continue her report…Only for Reginald to explode.“Then why didn’t you bring him straight here?!” he demanded.His voice cracked through the space like a whip, sharp and sudden, making the maid flinch so hard that she nearly jumped out of her skin, her shoulders jerking as if she’d been struck.“I… I…” she stammered, her lips trembling as she tried to speak again, clearly trying to reveal a piece of much more bothersome information.But… as it is, fate and Reginald were not feeling patient today.“Go bring him here at once!” Reginald barked, pointing sharply toward the entrance.And hearing this… the maid froze in place.But before she could even turn, the Patriarch raised a hand, stopping her in place.“You know

  • Chapter 980 – Reginald’s Helplessness II

    *****Hearing his son’s report, the Elderly Patriarch of the Harrison family couldn’t help but stare ahead in a stupor, unable to say a word... instead, his thinking went chaotic.After seeing how anxious his usually calm and composed son had become, he had realized that whatever his son was about to report was far from good, yet this…“They… said that?” the old man finally couldn’t help but ask slowly, and…“Yes, father,” Reginald answered without hesitation.“And now,” he continued, frustration leaking into his voice, “we are being bombarded by bloggers, keyboard warriors, paparazzi, citizens, and every news outlet imaginable.”His temples throbbed.“They’re demanding our response, wanting to know whether we’re cutting ties with Sky Group, whether what the family revealed is a lie, or whether there’s a power struggle behind the scenes.”Reginald laughed bitterly, the sound short and humorless.“They’re even running polls about which side we’re ‘choosing,’ as if we’re actors
