*****

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

  • Chapter 1451 – Mistress Ayra’s Realization

    *****For several moments, Mistress Ayra said nothing at all, simply observing every frame with a stillness that contrasted sharply with the bar’s rising uproar.Then suddenly, her eyes flashed.‘This is definitely the Sir Patriarch’s handiwork,’ she murmured inwardly, her certainty immediate and absolute. ‘Everything points straight at him.’Her gaze sharpened further as her thoughts deepened.‘The Revercrests had been searching all over town for him… and that road just so happens to be part of the route he would pass after leaving here.’By the time she connected the final thread, the corners of her lips slowly curled upward, and then she grinned.It was not the warm smile of a bartender amused by gossip, but instead... the proud, almost fierce grin of someone watching a prophecy begin to unfold exactly as she had hoped.‘My Nightshadow Sect is definitely rising again,’ she thought, and this time, there was no mistaking the bright gleam in her eyes.That gleam carried ambition, expe

  • Chapter 1450 – The City’s Panic II

    *****For a brief second, Riverton City went silent, the collective public stunned into numb disbelief by the images flooding their screens.Then all hell broke loose.The livestreams, videos, and photos spread at an absurd pace, gathering viewers and traffic so rapidly that the platforms themselves began to lag.Comments poured in faster than people could read them, shares multiplied at an explosive rate, and traffic surged to unprecedented levels.Before long, feeds began to lag, and the platforms' servers struggled to handle the overwhelming flood of activity.The companies operating them were alerted almost immediately as their systems buckled under the strain of millions of anxious users.“So… so many corpses!”“Did the Revercrest family kill this many people?!”“Oh God… are the Revercrests killing civilians now?!”“Aren’t the first-rank families supposed to protect us?”Everyone panicked so badly that, before long, they forgot one very important thing… the first-rank families we

  • Chapter 1449 – The City’s Panic

    *****Meanwhile, as the fiasco on the street unfolded, the rest of the city had already descended into a state of restless panic.It had all started the moment the Revercrests arrived on that street and brazenly blocked off the road with their subordinates, forming a barricade so blatant it looked more like a declaration that they owned the city and everyone inside it.The sight alone had been enough to make every pedestrian, commuter, and driver in the area feel their scalp go numb.Nobody needed a formal explanation or to be told twice. The instant they recognized the Revercrests’ insignia and saw the sheer number of armed men standing there, every person on that road had scattered as though chased by death itself.Not a single one of them stayed behind.Instead, everyone fled with their tails tucked between their legs, no one wanting to become the next “unfortunate soul” just like the Revercrests’ victim from the previous day.However, despite this, only a few kept their mouths shu

  • Chapter 1448 – The Revercrest’s Ending

    *****For a moment that felt like an eternity, the brothers couldn’t even recover enough to breathe properly, both of them unable to process what they had just heard.Then, almost at once, they tried to point at Silas, only to remember that their arms were now glorified decorations attached to their shoulders for no practical reason whatsoever.But if they couldn’t point, they could still shout.“What… what’s going on here?!” Borgia barked, though his voice came out more cracked than imposing.“Why… why does it sound like we’re moving?” The third brother asked, panic flooding his face all over again.Finally, Silas turned to look at them.And the moment they met his eyes, both brothers stiffened.Silas’s gaze was cold, the kind that came from disappointment that had long since burned past anger and settled into something heavier.“Thanks to Father’s heartlessness and depravity, his obsession with breeding a pack of corpse puppets, and the two of you being arrogant fools who couldn’t t

  • Chapter 1447 – The Brothers’ Bewilderment

    *****The two brothers turned almost in perfect unison, and the instant their eyes landed on the approaching group, their expressions changed drastically.Currently advancing toward them were about two dozen armed men and women.Their faces were blank, their backs ramrod straight, and their movements were perfectly synchronized… so precise it looked less like a group of humans and more like a military machine that had been wound up and released.Their boots struck the ground in unison, their strides measured, and their presence disciplined to an almost suffocating degree.However, what truly terrified the two brothers wasn’t the weapons, the coordination, or even the fact that such a force had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.It was the aura pouring from them.Every single one of them was at the D-rank.The pressure from that realization hit the brothers like a slap to the face.On any normal day, they would have merely been shocked… maybe even intrigued.They would have looked at su

  • Chapter 1446 – Silas’s Melancholy

    *****The elderly patriarch was still lying in a pool of blood, one ear gone, and his complexion so pale it made parchment look healthy.His breathing was shallow and weak now, and from the amount of blood soaking the road around him, he truly looked like someone standing one foot inside the grave already.The once terrifying patriarch of the Revercrest family… the same man whose name could make people lose sleep and whose presence crushes others into submission, now looked pitiful beyond words.Silas’s jaw tightened at this sight.Not even the faintest trace of that dark, eerie presence or overbearing authority remained.In fact, "pitiful" was too small a word for it.He looked so wretched that even someone who hated him would have struggled not to pause.For a moment, Silas couldn’t bring himself to react at all.He just stood there, staring at his father’s ruined state, while a thousand emotions rose and tangled inside him.There was anger, bitterness, grief, resentment, exhaustion
