*****

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 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

  • Chapter 933 – The Wealthy Man’s Curiosity

    *****The wealthy man didn’t even know what emotion to pick. Confusion? Concern? Or amusement?And so… he settled for all three emotions.'Just who on earth was the caller?' He couldn’t help but suddenly wonder.‘Erudite Grandmaster?’ He frowned, genuinely perplexed.'And that title… isn’t it a bit too arrogant?' His lips twitched. Then, unexpectedly, he smirked.He wasn’t mocking, just… amused. The kind of amusement that said:'In a backwater city like this… where the strongest fighter barely scrapes the level of a fake B-rank… who on earth gives themselves a title like “Erudite Grandmaster”?'The wealthy man almost wanted to laugh out, the absurdity of it all tickling him in a place he didn’t know existed.There are only three individuals on the planet with that title… real powerhouses and walking legends, but none of them would be caught dead in Riverton City.Yet here he was… watching the Prime Minister melt like butter thrown onto a hot pan.A man who never bootlicked

  • Chapter 932 – The Wealthy Man’s Amusement and Bafflement

    *****“Sit down.”The voice landed like a cold blade… smooth, calm, unhurried, controlled, yet sharp enough to slice through the PA’s fury.She instantly flinched, startled. Then, with her breath hitching, she turned toward the voice's owner.It was her boss, who currently sat there with a level of calm that felt almost illegal, as though he hadn’t just suffered the level of disregard he had never known before in his life.“But…” she tried, indignation still burning bright in her eyes.However, the wealthy man’s stern look shut her down instantly. Not a word was spoken, but the unspoken message hit her like a slap… Stop, now.With this, the PA could only swallow her outrage, her shoulders stiff, and then finally, she slowly and begrudgingly lowered herself back into her seat.Anyone watching could practically hear her internal monologue screaming in protest.The Prime Minister’s subordinates certainly noticed; several were already sweating bullets, convinced she might explode
