*****

By the time the police arrived, Barth had already been battered until nearly all his teeth were knocked out, and most of the bones in his body were fractured.

Although he was well aware of the fate that awaited him after his arrest—that he would likely spend the next chunk of his years in prison—Barth wasn’t afraid at all of the cop's arrival. Instead, he became excited and relieved, treating the officers like his rescuers.

“Hurry up and arrest me, please!” he sobbed desperately, seeing the furious and hostile glares of the mob directed at him, looking as though they couldn't wait to pounce and continue hitting him.

The officers were speechless at his reaction, but they still went ahead and detained the enormous figure who was now drenched in his own blood.

Since Barth was too large, he occupied the entire back seat of one car, while Cornelius, who tried resisting arrest and didn’t want to be captured, was forcefully locked in the rear of another vehicle.

  • Chapter 951 – Should We Raze Down this Building

    *****The wealthy man jabbed a violently trembling finger toward the doors… toward the place the Prime Minister had stood just minutes before.“My boss brought a life-changing opportunity to this backwater excuse of a city… an opportunity he could’ve taken to any of the dozens of cities far above this dusty pit, and how was that goodwill received?” he spat, each word gaining more rage, more venom, and more volume.“Not only did that piece of sh… that old man fail to appreciate the master’s generosity,” he roared, stumbling over his own fury, “but he even acted aloof! AL…OOF! As if he’s anyone worth noticing! And on top of that… on TOP of that, he dared to disrespect my master so openly?! This is ABSOLUTELY unacceptable!”His chest rose and fell like he was trying to breathe through molten metal.And the moment the Prime Minister’s subordinates heard him, they felt their stomachs drop into their shoes.If despair had wheels, it would’ve run them all over at once because they had

  • Chapter 950 – The Aftermath of the Shocking Event

    *****It had already been over ten full minutes since the Prime Minister and Xavier departed the office… ten minutes of the Prime Minister practically chauffeuring Xavier away like a loyal driver escorting his revered master, and yet… life inside and outside the building had not resumed.Not even close.Everyone remained exactly where they had been the moment Xavier and the Prime Minister leftThe captain was still half-kneeling, his eyes completely unfocused.The two guards remained bent toward the floor as if gravity had personally claimed them.Inside the building, by the exit, the wealthy man was frozen mid… spiritual meltdown, while his subordinates hovered behind him like malfunctioning robots.His guards stood like abandoned mannequins.The Prime Minister’s subordinates were stuck in an identical trance.And above all… the Blackwoods were so still that even statues would’ve accused them of overacting.No one blinked, no one breathed too loudly, and no one shifted even

  • Chapter 949 – The Spiritually Collapsed Wealthy Man

    *****As soon as the Prime Minister heard Xavier’s question, his spine turned rigid, suddenly appearing as if he had just been plugged into an invisible power source.“Yes, Grandmaster,” he replied with excessive respect, making Xavier’s eyebrow twitch.'Will you quit with the never-ending ‘Grandmaster’?' Xavier thought wearily to himself. ‘For the love of sanity, just once… call me Xavier.’But he swallowed the urge to correct the old man. Now wasn’t the time for that battle.Instead, he paused… hesitating just a fraction, and then finally, he asked sincerely, “Are you sure you aren’t doing anything at the moment? I might take up some of your time.”The moment those words left his mouth, however, the wealthy man standing near the entrance did something unintentionally comedic… he forced himself back to his senses and strained his ears like a starving man sniffing food.His neck extended just a little too far, his posture stiffening.‘Surely, he would have calmed down by now,’

  • Chapter 948 – An Erudite Grandmaster for a Reason

    *****“Grandmaster,” the Prime Minister said, his voice strained with a mix of reverence and dread, “I know this can’t possibly make up for what they did, but… please… allow me to punish them by dismissing them from service, and nothing more.”His words trembled with sincerity and anxiousness, his voice carrying trembling hope and pleading.But the effect on the three guards… it was immediate and catastrophic.The moment the Prime Minister’s pleading and anxious sentence reached their ears, clarity returned to them like a slap, and… their blood turned cold.At that very instant, the captain, who had been struggling to maintain the last shred of dignity and composure left in him, abruptly collapsed beside the other two guards, landing on his knees so hard that the sound echoed, but they failed to react.Instead, all three stared straight ahead, their eyes wide, their pupils dilated, and their faces seemingly carved with sheer horror.They wanted to speak, to beg, and to plead fo

  • Chapter 947 – The Prime Minister’s Fear

    *****Meanwhile, Xavier.At this moment, he was completely oblivious to the Blackwoods’ presence.It wasn’t because his perception had weakened, no… it was actually sharper than ever, capable of detecting threats long before they appeared.But he simply hadn’t bothered to sense his surroundings… there was no danger, so he didn’t pay any attention.The only presence he acknowledged was the group of ten people standing inside the building behind the glass doors, currently frozen stiff, their jaws dropped so low that they practically touched the floor, and their eyes so wide that they seemed ready to eject from their sockets.They looked as if they were witnessing a pig and a fish soaring majestically through the clouds.Xavier also noticed the two guards who were still sitting on their butts from the Prime Minister’s earlier shove, and the captain standing beside them… three grown men so petrified that they resembled malfunctioning mannequins.But Xavier spared them no attention
