Chapter 1009 – Soul-bound Slavery
*****“So, how may I be of help to your family?”The shift was so abrupt that it felt like being plunged from boiling water into ice.The Blackwoods were left stunned, their minds struggling to keep up. Even Reginald couldn’t help but blink twice, instinctively glancing at his father as though to confirm he had heard correctly.The Blackwood Patriarch took a few seconds to regain his composure. And when he finally did, a bitter, self-mocking smile crept onto his face.Who was he?He is a first-rank family patriarch, one of the key power-holders of Riverton City, and a man who stood above countless others and bowed to almost no one.Yet here he was, being spoken to like something worse than a stray dog begging for scraps.The humiliation burned him to the soul, but what choice did he have?He swallowed it… all of it.“I…” he began, his voice trembling with barely restrained desperation. “I don’t know if there is any way… any way at all you could help my family.”He paused, h
Chapter 1008 – “So, How Can I Be Of Help To Your Family?”
*****For a brief moment after hearing the vivid recount from the Blackwood Patriarch, the Harrison Father and Son duo even wondered how fate could be so cruel as to grant such an opportunity to the wrong family.But then…The story continued, and everything changed.When the Blackwood Patriarch finally spoke about the poisoning… about how his sons, driven by paranoia and suspicion, had dared to poison Xavier…Every trace of color drained from the Harrison father and son’s faces, their shock deepening into horror.It was the kind of horror that froze the blood.And before they even realized it, they trembled violently, their bodies reacting before their minds could catch up.Their pupils shrank, their breathing grew shallow, and cold sweat poured down their backs, soaking through their clothes as though someone had dumped a bucket of icy water over them.Then finally… they completely froze in place, unable to blink, move, or even breathe again.They just stood there like liv
Chapter 1007 – The Harrisons’ Envy
*****Moments ago, the Blackwood Patriarch hadn’t been thinking clearly.He had been so deeply submerged in his remorse, pain, envy, bitterness, and regret that his reason had gone numb. Otherwise, he never would have uttered something so reckless and so preposterous that it could ignite an all-out war, one that would end only with the death of one side.But now, confronted with the sudden realization that he might have just cut off the only path that could have led his family to the Grandmaster’s complete forgiveness, his mind snapped back to clarity, and his heart dropped straight into his stomach.Without even realizing it, the Blackwood Patriarch panicked so badly that he nearly slammed his head into the cold concrete beside him.His heart pounded frantically in his chest like a war drum gone mad, each beat echoing painfully in his ears.The murderous pressure pouring off the Harrison father and son was no longer subtle… it was blatant, crushing, and utterly unforgiving.“I
Chapter 1006 – The Harrison Father and Son’s Outrage
*****“PFT!” An abrupt, loud, and completely inappropriate sound suddenly burst out simultaneously from the father and son duo.Then, before they could even control themselves, the two doubled over slightly, laughter spilling out of them as though they had just been told the funniest joke ever conceived by mankind.“The… Grandmaster?” the Harrison Patriarch echoed, wiping the corner of his eye, still half-laughing, half-staring in disbelief.Reginald stopped laughing, disbelief plastering itself all over his face. “So let me get this straight,” he uttered, unable to stop himself despite knowing he probably shouldn’t be involved in a discussion between two elders. “All this tragic trembling, existential despair, and public collapse…” he gestured vaguely at the Blackwood family, who still looked like they had been run over by fate itself, “…was because of the Grandmaster?”Before Reginald could even finish the sentence…The atmosphere shifted.The concern that had previously fill
Chapter 1005 – The Harrison Father and Son’s Concern
*****At this moment, the Blackwood Patriarch’s eyes were bloodshot and clouded, crimson veins crawling along the whites. Tears stubbornly rimmed them, refusing to fall, as if even they were unsure whether they were allowed to exist.And lastly, the old man’s body trembled continuously, stripped of the majestic presence that once defined him.This was not the man Riverton city feared and respected. No… he appeared like a man drowning.And his family…They were no better.His sons and granddaughter remained slumped behind him. Darius’s face was pale, his lips pressed into a thin line as though he were biting back a scream. Roland… usually loud, arrogant, and painfully confident, looked hollowed out, his eyes unfocused, his posture slumped.Cassandra… was the worst.Her face was drained of color, her fingers clenched so tightly that her nails bit into her palms. She looked like someone who had reached heaven, touched its gates… and then been dragged screaming straight into hell.
Chapter 1004 – The Harrison Father and Son’s Confusion
*****Still at the front of the Harrison main mansion.Both Roland and his father stood rooted to the spot at this moment, appearing utterly dumbstruck, their minds lagging several beats behind reality. They had absolutely no idea what to say or how to react.Before them, the highly respected Blackwood Patriarch was trembling like a man who had just watched his entire fortune evaporate in the blink of an eye… not metaphorically, not dramatically, but literally.No… he looked like someone who had just checked his account balance, refreshed the page, and discovered it had dropped to zero, from over ten billion dollars.And the words he had just stuttered…“He should have been my family acquaintance instead,” continued to reverberate in the air, heavy and absurd, echoing relentlessly inside the minds of the Harrison father-and-son duo.‘Who is he talking about?’ the two wondered in utter unison, utterly bewildered.‘Did the Blackwoods collectively lose their minds today?’As soo
