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, seein

  • Chapter 1466 – 'I'm So Utterly Finished'

    *****The hall abruptly became quiet once more, no one reacting at all for a moment that felt like a long time.Then, suddenly..."Huh?" one elder blinked blankly."...Xavier?" another repeated in utter confusion, frowning slightly."Who exactly is that?" a third asked, utterly bewildered."Have any of you heard of him?""Is he connected to that mysterious A-rank cultivator?""Or... is all of this merely a coincidence?’Nearly all the elders in the chamber became completely bewildered after hearing the unfamiliar name."Xavier?"They silently rolled the name around in their minds, trying to remember whether they had ever encountered such a person before.But not a single memory surfaced, and as such, some frowned thoughtfully, while others exchanged puzzled glances.A few even began to mentally sort through every influential genius, hidden expert, rising family heir, and renowned cultivator they had heard of over the years.Still...Nothing.The name simply refused to fit anywhere.Ho

  • Chapter 1465 – An Even More Complicated Mystery II

    *****For what felt like an eternity, nobody moved, blinked, or even breathed too loudly.The elders simply remained seated, staring blankly ahead as though their souls had momentarily abandoned their bodies.Then..."No… no struggle?" one elder suddenly murmured beneath his breath.Ordinarily, such a quiet mutter would have vanished into the air before anyone noticed.But inside the utterly silent chamber... those two words landed like a clap of thunder.Everyone instantly jolted violently back to reality, several hearts skipping multiple beats in succession.Yet not a single person turned toward the elder.Instead, every pair of eyes immediately locked onto the Harrison Patriarch."You... are you saying..." the Greystone Patriarch finally asked, his voice trembling so badly it sounded like a damaged record. "...that one person wiped out every corpse puppet... together with all the Revercrests' elite subordinates?"His throat bobbed visibly. "How... how powerful would someone like th

  • Chapter 1464 – An Even More Complicated Mystery II

    *****For a moment after the Harrison Patriarch’s report, no one reacted. But a second later… every face changed.Someone's breathing halted completely, while another elder subconsciously tightened his grip around his teacup.But before anyone could respond...The Harrison Patriarch continued."And based on the same reports..." He paused once more, allowing every word to sink deeply into everyone's mind. "...not a single corpse puppet showed any sign of resistance."The hall became deathly still."There were prolonged battles or shattered surroundings that indicated any fierce combat from them." He slowly shook his head. "My children described the scene as... unnatural.""They said there wasn't even evidence suggesting the corpse puppets had struggled." He looked around the chamber again. "It was as though every single one of them simply... collapsed where they stood."The final sentence struck the room like a thunderbolt.Instantly, several elders visibly stiffened, while the others

  • Chapter 1463 – An Even More Complicated Mystery

    *****About thirty minutes later, every elder and representative had returned to the council chamber.However, the atmosphere surrounding them now was the complete opposite of what it had been before the recess.Earlier, every face had been clouded with uncertainty, disbelief, and dread.Now, however, nearly every patriarch wore a broad grin stretching from ear to ear, looking as though fortune itself had personally knocked on their doors.Their eyes sparkled with unconcealed delight, and despite their repeated attempts to appear dignified, the satisfaction leaking from their expressions was almost impossible to hide.Some casually straightened their robes with smug composure, while others leisurely sipped tea, unable to suppress the slight upward curl of their lips.Anyone unaware of the situation might have mistaken the gathering for a celebration rather than an emergency council meeting.After all...Thirty minutes had been more than enough for each family to dispatch their men to

  • Chapter 1462 – The Prime Minister’s Concern

    *****Silence greeted the Greystone Patriarch’s proposal.However, it wasn’t because anyone disagreed.But instead… every single leader present immediately understood the hidden meaning behind those seemingly righteous words.'What a cunning old fox.'The exact same thought surfaced in more than one mind.On the surface, the suggestion sounded pretty noble. But underneath?The Revercrests possessed enormous wealth, countless businesses, secret warehouses, rare cultivation resources, and hidden treasures accumulated over decades.Whoever moved first would naturally obtain the largest share before everything became public property.The proposal wasn't merely justice. It was an elegant invitation to divide an abandoned kingdom.Yet...Not a single person objected.After all... it benefits everyone.The Prime Minister naturally understood every hidden motive in the room. But he merely smiled faintly."So be it then." His decisive voice echoed through the chamber.Hearing him, several patr

  • Chapter 1461 – Agenda-driven Suggestion In the City’s Council

    *****At this moment, every person in the council chamber silently realized something terrifying.Had the Revercrests not been exposed, and they had chosen to strike... the outcome would have been catastrophic.The thought alone made several people feel cold sweat trickling down their backs.The Harrison patriarch allowed the silence to linger before speaking again."Which brings me to my second question." His voice became even heavier. "As we all know, the Revercrests have turned this entire city upside down since yesterday."His eyes slowly swept across every face in the chamber. "They mobilized nearly every resource they possessed and revealed a trump card they had hidden for decades.""They even exposed themselves to becoming enemies of humanity." He paused deliberately. "Who... was important enough for them to pay such an unimaginable price?"No one spoke.But the Harrison patriarch didn’t seem to be expecting a response yet. Instead…"They must have known that once this secret c
