*****

For a moment, nobody could react, staring dazedly as though time and space had stopped for them.

This stillness lingered for a moment before suddenly; “Hahahaha!”

Jennifer, who had also been taken aback and thunderstruck by Xavier’s unexpected response erupted with laughter, giggling so hard as though she had just heard the most amusing joke in the universe.

“I knew it!” She shrieked loudly, staring at Xavier as though he was one kind of an interesting thing, after which she cast a mockery glance at Janet.

“Look who you were defending. Someone who only came to dine and dash. Hahaha!” She jeered.

“We warned you he was nothing but a common prisoner who doesn’t belong among normal human beings, but you insisted on defending him. What are you going to do now that you have realized his true nature?” she added further, asking a question that made Janet's face flush slightly with embarrassment.

This was the most humiliating thing she had ever felt in her life, and it only grew w

  • Chapter 996 – The Blackwoods’ Anxiousness II

    L*****Aldric stood a short distance away from the elderly patriarch, appearing completely unmoving.Unlike his father, he didn’t pace, didn’t fidget, and didn’t speak.Instead, he simply stood there, appearing rigid and hollow-eyed, his expression drenched in regret so deep it bordered on despair.If regret had layers, Aldric was buried beneath all of them at this moment.It had been his call and decision.At his instruction, they had planned Xavier’s death and had poisoned him.If it hadn’t been for that single, catastrophic choice, Xavier would still be their family’s acquaintance.If not for that mistake, the Blackwoods would be celebrating right now that they know his identity. They would be basking in glory and standing at the side of a Grandmaster instead of finding ways to beg for his mercy.The irony burned like acid.Aldric’s eyes stung, moisture threatening to spill over. He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging into his palms.‘What kind of fool poisons

  • Chapter 995 – The Blackwoods' Anxiousness

    *****“This…” Xavier, hearing the sudden words, couldn’t help but halt mid-step, turning to look at the old man with clear confusion.‘Why does he look like escorting me out is more important than breathing?’ he couldn’t help but wonder, a faint crease forming between his brows.For a moment, he considered declining.But then he noticed the old man’s expression… genuine, respectful, and almost anxious to please.Refusing him now would feel… unnecessarily cruel.So, Xavier sighed inwardly and then slightly nodded his head.“Very well,” he said, and with that, he turned around again, walking away. His pace was calm and unhurried, every step steady and composed.The Prime Minister lingered behind for a moment, watching the exchange unfold. Ultimately, a playful glint flickered in his eyes as he glanced at the elderly patriarch.How could he not understand the man’s intentions?He understood them perfectly.But seeing such blatant eagerness from someone as notoriously rigid, bl

  • Chapter 994 – The Harrison Patriarch’s Decision

    *****The moment the maid finished her report, the atmosphere in the courtyard instantly shifted.All four of the initial occupants paused almost simultaneously, and immediately following this, their expressions tightened, their brows knitting in varying degrees of confusion and suspicion.“The Blackwood family?” the elderly patriarch muttered under his breath, his brows drawing together so tightly that deep creases carved themselves into his forehead. “All of them?” He shook his head slowly, bewilderment thickening with each passing second. “Why would they want to see me so urgently?”The question lingered unanswered in the air.Even Reginald, who had been mentally reeling for far too long already, couldn’t help but feel his curiosity spike uncontrollably.He glanced at his father, his eyes narrowed in confusion. His father hadn’t mentioned anything about the Blackwoods… no disputes, no alliances, and not even the usual social formalities.So what could possibly warrant such u

  • Chapter 993 – “The Blackwood Patriarch, His First Son, and Granddaughter Are Here”

    *****At this moment, Xavier couldn’t help but study the Harrison Patriarch’s flushed face, the trembling hands, and the barely-contained grin that looked ready to tear his cheeks apart.For a moment, he genuinely didn’t know whether to laugh… frown, or sigh.‘I’m the one asking for help,’ he couldn’t help but think dryly to himself. ‘So why does it look like I’m the one about to bestow a divine blessing instead?’The irony wasn’t lost on him.But still, he shook his head lightly, the motion slow and controlled.“Sure,” Xavier said, finally deciding to move things forward.But just as he opened his mouth to continue…The elderly patriarch’s eyes flickered sharply.The excitement didn’t vanish; instead, it sharpened into something cautious and calculating.Then, without a second’s hesitation, he gestured respectfully and invited both Xavier and the Prime Minister to move elsewhere.His reasoning was simple… and blunt.“I cannot be certain who might be listening,” the patria

  • Chapter 992 – A Dumbstruck Xavier

    *****“I actually came here today because I need your help.”But before Xavier could even finish the sentence…The elderly patriarch snapped to attention, his reaction so fast that it was almost comical.“Yes! Of course!” the old man shouted, his eyes blazing with a mixture of fear and excitement, his body trembling like a soldier awaiting orders. “What do you need me to do, sir? I will handle it immediately! Immediately!”The words tumbled out so eagerly that they nearly tripped over each other.And… the room froze.Every single person present stared in stunned silence.Even Reginald’s brain couldn’t help but short-circuit.He stared at his father as though witnessing an alien possession. And just like that, seconds stretched. Then more seconds.It felt like an eternity before a single thought finally managed to surface in his mind.‘…Who would’ve thought Father is actually a bootlicker as well?’Goosebumps erupted violently across his skin.This was the same man who had

  • Chapter 991 – I Actually Came Here Today Because I Need Your Favor

    *****Principles were only useful until reality forced exceptions.And this situation? It was undoubtedly one of them. That was precisely why Xavier had instructed the Prime Minister to reveal his identity in the first place.It wasn’t out of arrogance nor because he wanted attention, but because certain walls simply refused to move unless struck at the foundation.Even so, Xavier genuinely hadn’t expected the Harrisons to make things this convenient for him.Looking down on him first?That had been… helpful.Originally, Xavier had assumed the Harrisons wouldn’t believe the Prime Minister’s claim about him being a grandmaster.Frankly, he wouldn’t have blamed them. Even he himself knew his appearance was far too deceptive… too young, too relaxed, and too ordinary for someone carrying his title.If anything, disbelief would have been the natural response.And when that happened, Xavier had already planned to let reality do the talking.Strength didn’t lie.Authority didn’
