Chapter 1492 - The Father and Son’s Renewed Confidence
*****Lucius’s voice carried renewed confidence, as though he had already uncovered the truth.Without waiting for Hunter to answer, Lucius quickly turned away.His eyes cautiously swept across the surroundings again, though every movement betrayed the tension he tried to hide beneath a calm exterior.Then suddenly, he cleared his throat awkwardly."Senior..." His tone instantly changed.Gone was the arrogance and contempt. Even his posture subtly became more respectful.It was almost comical.Only moments ago, he had acted like the emperor of the world.Now, he sounded like a merchant desperately trying to negotiate with a bandit who had already emptied his warehouse."I don't know what that low-life promised you..."He forced out a polite smile while continuing to glance around cautiously, hoping to locate the hidden expert."But this is Scoan territory." His voice became increasingly confident. "We can offer you one hundred times more.""If he promised you money, we'll pay thrice a
Chapter 1491 – Lucius’s Realization
*****"They wanted to call for help, so... I allowed them the opportunity."The casualness in Hunter’s voice made the statement feel even more disturbing.It wasn't an apology or explanation, but instead… the kind of mockery delivered by someone who had already won.The instant Hunter's voice echoed through the courtyard, the kneeling guards reacted almost instinctively.They all raised their heads, and immediately, pain surfaced across their faces.Several looked ready to cry, while others clenched their teeth so hard that their jaws trembled.Although nobody had noticed Hunter standing behind the father and son duo all this time, none of the guards appeared surprised.Instead, their expressions suggested something entirely different. They already knew that Hunter, who had disappeared for days now, was here.Meanwhile, the ordinary servants reacted quite differently.Several blinked in confusion, some opened their mouths in a daze, and the others just stared."Huh?" One maid covered
Chapter 1490 – "They Wanted To Call For Help, So... I Allowed Them The Opportunity"
*****The instant those words reached everyone's ears... the atmosphere changed significantly.The people on the ground instantly broke out in more sweat.Some of them instantly swallowed, their breathing catching in their throats.Some people acted as though a demon had just spoken.While a few shivered significantly, looking as though they were going to break down even more on the spot.But Lucius and his father…They flinched significantly, hearing how cold and dark the voice sounded; then the two instantly looked around them in high alert.However, they saw no one, and as such…“Who?” Augustus barked, instantly staying on a high alert.Then in the following second…Boom!His E-rank aura exploded from his body like a violent tidal wave, surging outward in every direction before wrapping tightly around both himself and Lucius.The powerful pressure distorted the surrounding air, while fierce streams of energy swirled around him in preparation for battle.With this, his eyes darted r
Chapter 1489 – "Why Haven't You Taken Care Of Them Yet?"
*****Meanwhile, Augustus and Lucius remained completely motionless, their brains desperately trying to make sense of the impossible reality before them.Seconds passed, each one feeling unbearably long.Finally... Augustus managed to force a few words past his dry throat."Wha… what..." He swallowed hard. "What... is going on here?"Even he barely recognized his own voice. It sounded hoarse, unsteady, and heavy with disbelief now.In fact, the commanding authority that normally accompanied every word had vanished completely.Instead, his question carried the helpless confusion of a man whose entire understanding of reality had just collapsed.The instant those words echoed through the courtyard, the suffocating silence hanging over the Scoan Estate seemed to ripple.Lucius finally snapped back to himself.Then his eyes darted frantically across the crowd.He recognized every face.The eastern patrol squad, the hidden guards stationed beneath the villa, and the elite F-rank fighters.
Chapter 1488 – Lucius and Augustus’s Disbelieve
*****At this moment, both Lucius and Augustus stood rooted to the spot, their minds completely blank.The expressions on their faces were so vacant that it looked as though their souls had abruptly abandoned their bodies, leaving behind nothing more than empty shells incapable of thought.For what felt like an eternity, neither of them moved or blinked.Even breathing seemed to become an unfamiliar concept.They simply stared ahead with widened eyes, frozen by a sight so utterly impossible that their minds instinctively refused to process it.Shock, disbelief, and confusion… every one of those emotions collided inside them at once, leaving them completely paralyzed.And the scene unfolding before them...It truly was the most unbelievable thing either father or son had witnessed in their entire lives.The expansive courtyard before the patriarch's villa was crowded.No...Crowded wasn't even the right word. The entire area was blanketed with people.Bodies covered the ground in every
Chapter 1487 – Hunter’s Anticipation
*****Without hesitation, Lucius pressed the alarm button again.However, this time, neither of them spoke again, and as such room fell silent once more.Before long, five minutes had passed, yet there was nothing.Not even hurried footsteps echoed through the hallway.The enormous estate remained eerily silent.Realizing this, Lucius's confident smile finally began cracking. A strange feeling slowly crept into his chest.He pressed the button again… harder this time.Again...Silence.The atmosphere abruptly became painfully awkward, the kind that could make someone hear their own heartbeat.Witnessing this, however, Hunter's smile widened another fraction.The expression on his face became even more unbearable.It was the quiet smile of someone who already knew the ending while everyone else was still confidently reading the wrong chapter.Lucius stared at the watch, then at the hallway, and then back at the watch.His expression slowly shifted from confidence to confusion… then to
