Chapter 982 – I Think You and Your Ninth Generation Are Just Done For
*****“Is this your grandson? The spoiled brat you said you’d bring for my family to train?”The words hung in the air, and…The Prime Minister, “_”Xavier, “_”The two froze in place, and for a brief, fragile second, it was as though time itself had tripped and face-planted.The air thickened, sound dulled, and both men stared ahead with expressions that screamed the same silent thought:‘Did he just say that?’But before either of them could recover and before reason, horror, or instinct could catch up on the Prime Minister…The elderly Patriarch narrowed his eyes, and then, slowly and deliberately, he swept his gaze over Xavier from head to toe.The scrutiny was sharp, judgmental, and entirely unrestrained, his lips curling slightly and his nose wrinkling in open displeasure, as though he had just noticed dust on an otherwise pristine artifact.Then finally…“Tsk.” He clicked his tongue.“He is indeed a spoilt brat as you had told me,” the old man declared bluntly. “Ac
Chapter 981 – Is This Your Grandson?
*****The maid nodded her head hurriedly… almost violently, to the question asked in unison, her neck moving so fast that it was a miracle it didn’t snap.However, anxiety clung to her like smoke, and before she could fully steady herself, she opened her mouth to continue her report…Only for Reginald to explode.“Then why didn’t you bring him straight here?!” he demanded.His voice cracked through the space like a whip, sharp and sudden, making the maid flinch so hard that she nearly jumped out of her skin, her shoulders jerking as if she’d been struck.“I… I…” she stammered, her lips trembling as she tried to speak again, clearly trying to reveal a piece of much more bothersome information.But… as it is, fate and Reginald were not feeling patient today.“Go bring him here at once!” Reginald barked, pointing sharply toward the entrance.And hearing this… the maid froze in place.But before she could even turn, the Patriarch raised a hand, stopping her in place.“You know
Chapter 980 – Reginald’s Helplessness II
*****Hearing his son’s report, the Elderly Patriarch of the Harrison family couldn’t help but stare ahead in a stupor, unable to say a word... instead, his thinking went chaotic.After seeing how anxious his usually calm and composed son had become, he had realized that whatever his son was about to report was far from good, yet this…“They… said that?” the old man finally couldn’t help but ask slowly, and…“Yes, father,” Reginald answered without hesitation.“And now,” he continued, frustration leaking into his voice, “we are being bombarded by bloggers, keyboard warriors, paparazzi, citizens, and every news outlet imaginable.”His temples throbbed.“They’re demanding our response, wanting to know whether we’re cutting ties with Sky Group, whether what the family revealed is a lie, or whether there’s a power struggle behind the scenes.”Reginald laughed bitterly, the sound short and humorless.“They’re even running polls about which side we’re ‘choosing,’ as if we’re actors
Chapter 979 – Reginald’s Helplessness
*****“Father!” Reginald finally called out, his voice breaking through the serenity in the ethereal courtyard like a crack in glass.The frustration and helplessness in his tone were impossible to hide. “Are you not going to say anything about the report?” he asked, his words carrying both urgency and exasperation.But the old man barely reacted.In fact, there was no visible change in his expression… no shift in posture and no sign whatsoever that he had even heard his son speak.For a brief, maddening moment, Reginald genuinely couldn’t tell whether his father was deliberately ignoring him… or simply lost in his own world as usual.This left Reginald torn between two equally humiliating impulses… whether to burst into tears from sheer frustration or to smack himself for expecting any sort of reaction at this time of the day, when his father was always immersed in his daily meditation routine.He clenched his teeth so hard that his jaw ached.He had rushed straight out of th
Chapter 978 – The Harrisons’ Courtyard
*****[A/N: For better understanding, context, and to be able to enjoy the following chapters as you should, please refer to Chapters 270 – 272 first.]…..Currently… inside a courtyard.It wasn’t particularly large… just spacious enough to comfortably accommodate perhaps a hundred people at most, yet the moment one stepped into it, scale became irrelevant.The entire place carried an overwhelming sense of intention, as though it had been lifted whole from a masterfully crafted painting, the kind created with impossible patience and almost divine perfection.Every angle, every stone, and every leaf appeared deliberate… nothing felt accidental. Even the empty spaces seemed planned, as if reality itself had paused, taken a step back, and admired its own handiwork before allowing time to continue.It wasn’t merely beautiful… that word felt insufficient.It felt unreal… otherworldly, like something that should not exist so casually within the mortal world, a place borrowed directl
Chapter 977 – The Prime Minister’s Intensified Respect
*****At this point, the old man wasn’t treating Xavier like a grandmaster anymore, no.He was now treating him like a walking deity that just happened to be riding in the passenger seat of his car.As for the Prime Minister… he only allowed himself a tiny, trembling sigh of relief after confirming that Xavier wasn’t upset. Then he forced himself to face the road again.But his mind… it looked nothing like calm.Right now, his insides were in turmoil and pure chaos... his frantic thoughts crashing into each other and shouting like they were all scrambling to survive.And the more he tried to calm himself, the stronger the mental commotion grew.Was it Xavier’s strength? Absolutely yes.In fact, that alone was enough to turn any sane person into a paralyzed mess.He kept replaying Xavier’s casual statements in his head… how the young man had trivialized a battle that had practically traumatized the entire city.Riverton’s citizens were still whispering about it in fear, proba
