Chapter 1175 – The Patriarch’s Revenge On His Family
*****“What can we do?” the patriarch asked calmly, his question landing like a stone dropped into still water.For a brief moment, Mason, Nico, and Nico’s wife simply stared at him, their minds struggling to process the unexpected response.They had clearly expected orders, strategies, or at the very least some form of reassurance.Instead, they received a question tossed right back at them.The three exchanged uneasy glances.“But… but you are the patriarch, aren’t you?” Mason finally blurted out, his voice trembling with barely restrained panic.The young man’s earlier arrogance had evaporated completely, and right now, he sounded less like the proud heir of a powerful family and more like a frightened child looking for an adult to fix everything.“You must know what we can do,” Nico quickly added, nodding his head vigorously as though reinforcing the idea might magically make it true.His voice carried a forced confidence that fooled absolutely no one. “You’ve always know
Chapter 1174 – The Patriarch’s Disbelief
*****The Orien’s patriarch began to walk back toward his seat.Usually, he carried himself with a straight, commanding posture that radiated authority and pride.His back was always ramrod straight, his steps steady and confident, the very embodiment of a powerful family head.But now?He looked like a completely different person.His shoulders were hunched, his back bent slightly forward.Each step was slow and heavy, like that of a man who had just lost everything he had spent his entire life building.It was the walk of someone who had been defeated.When he reached the podium, his foot caught slightly on the edge of the step, and he nearly stumbled forward.For a brief moment, it seemed as though he might fall flat on his face, but he managed to steady himself at the last second, gripping the podium before slowly climbing onto it.Then he approached his seat, and… he dropped into it.Everyone watched him, holding their breath.At first, they thought the old patriarch
Chapter 1173 – “So… Karma Truly Exists After All.”
*****If the earlier news from the first retainer had already shattered their composure, leaving them reeling in shock, disbelief, and hopelessness, then this announcement was like the final hammer strike that reduced the remaining fragments to dust.“What… what… what did you just say?” the patriarch stammered.For the first time in decades, the old man’s composure was completely shattered.His chest rose and fell erratically, each breath sharp and uneven as if his lungs had suddenly forgotten how to function properly.His fingers trembled uncontrollably, and the look on his face resembled someone who had just been handed his own death certificate.The retainer swallowed nervously but forced himself to continue.“Master… according to the intelligence we received, the… the CCIB has already dispatched agents to seal every physical asset belonging to the Oriens family. That includes all our buildings, our businesses… and this mansion.” His voice dropped into a strained whisper. “T
Chapter 1172 – Another Piece of Bad News
*****The Orien Patriarch knew well that this wasn’t merely an attack on his Orien family… no.This was something far crueler and worse.Whoever had orchestrated this didn’t just want to destroy them. They wanted to break them first… slowly, methodically, and until nothing remained but despair.It was a carefully designed cage meant to suffocate them, and worst of all…The patriarch understood the intention behind it.This wasn’t just punishment; it was revenge.They were being forced to experience, piece by piece, the same helpless desperation they had once inflicted upon Grace… only magnified several times over.That realization tightened around his chest like an iron vice, until;“Huff…”Another weary sigh escaped him, then the old patriarch slowly turned back toward the loyal retainer, clearly preparing to speak again.But just as his mouth opened…BANG!The door burst open violently again, the deafening crash echoing through the room like a gunshot, startling everyon
Chapter 1171 – An Obvious Scheme
*****Of course, the retainer knew the answer to the question asked, and he was certain the patriarch knew it as well.After all, the patriarch was a smart man. What he really wanted was confirmation.But at a moment like this… he didn’t know how to, so he could only stare at the ground for what felt like an eternity before finally;“Huff…” A deep breath escaped him before he even realized he had released it.And then… he spoke.“That’s… that’s right, master.”The words came out of his mouth quietly, almost sounding like a confession.Yet strangely… contrary to all his expectations, the patriarch did not react.The old man simply continued staring at the retainer for a long moment, his expression unreadable.Then, slowly, he released another long breath and muttered under his breath with chilling calm.“I thought as much.”However, while the patriarch managed to maintain a thin thread of composure, his descendants were not nearly as resilient.The moment the retainer conf
Chapter 1170 – “What A Wonderful Excuse to Attack My Family!”
*****The old retainer did not answer the patriarch’s question or show even the slightest intention of speaking.It wasn’t defiance, nor was it stubborn silence.Instead, the truth was far more pitiful… he simply didn’t know what to say.Every possible response felt like a blade poised over his master’s throat, and no matter how he tried to phrase it in his mind, the outcome remained the same.So he remained there, his head lowered, his shoulders tense, and his lips pressed tightly together as though a single word might shatter the fragile calm holding the room together.However, that silence… that heavy, suffocating lack of response, was already enough of an answer.As soon as the implication settled in his mind, the old patriarch staggered, and for a brief moment, it truly seemed as though he might collapse right then and there.His body swayed, his knees threatening to buckle beneath him as the full weight of the situation came crashing down on his shoulders.But just then

Very good plot and story and the pacing is also quite good except for elongated methapor words and praises that seems no relevance on the scene or plot being played, making the novel quite dull...
