Chapter 1045
*****The Wealthy Man didn’t speak, didn’t move, and didn’t release even a shred of aura.But… that was the worst part.That complete lack of presence… making him appear so ordinary and calm, made the third brother’s heart sink even deeper, his unwillingness twisting into raw pain.‘He’s most likely doubting himself now…’ the third brother realized bitterly. ‘He’s actually doubting himself because of First brother.’‘It should have been me,’ he thought, a lump forming in his throat.The third Brother wanted to cry… but no tears came. Instead, he clenched his fists so hard that his nails dug into his palms, silently swearing to never forget this moment.However, he wasn’t the only one feeling this emotion right now.At this moment, a sharp pang of regret had also pierced their father’s chest.‘If only I had spoken those first…’ he thought, envy creeping in despite himself. ‘If only I hadn’t blindly accepted the Master’s words.’He clenched his fists so hard, nearly smacking h
Chapter 1044 – Borgia’s Logical Facts
*****“And who do you think you are to shut him up?”The Wealthy Man suddenly spoke, his voice calm, flat, and casual… sounding almost bored.However, the moment these words left his mouth… everything froze.At that very instant, the air grew unbearably heavy as a suffocating silence settled over the room, one so absolute that even the faintest sound... a heartbeat or the crawl of an ant, would have sounded deafening.Then…The mouths of Borgia, his two brothers, and their father dropped open simultaneously, the four of them freezing in place... too stunned to even react.For a second, Borgia couldn’t believe it.Then realization struck him, and... before he even knew it, his pale face flushed, color rushing back as excitement surged through him like wildfire.In the following moment, his lips curled slowly upward, forming a smug, triumphant smirk he didn’t bother to hide.First, he turned toward his father, his eyes suddenly brimming with naked arrogance and mockery, practi
Chapter 1043 – “And Who Do You Think You Are to Shut Him Up?”
*****Borgia suddenly turned his head, sneaking a cautious glance in the Wealthy Man’s direction before hurriedly lowering his gaze again, looking as if his eyes had committed a crime simply by looking too long.“Mas… master,” he stuttered, his voice sounding dry and hoarse, trembling like it might shatter mid-word. Cold sweat instantly clung to his forehead, sliding down his temple in thin, icy trails.The moment he spoke, every head in the room turned in his direction.His second brother’s contemplative gaze flickered, his brows knitting together in visible confusion, appearing as though he were trying to calculate a move that didn’t quite add up.His third brother, on the other hand, directly stiffened… his eyes sharpening and his dormant competitive instinct snapping awake like a predator catching scent of blood.As for their father… panic struck him hard.His heart slammed violently against his ribs as dread surged up his spine, fearing that his son was about to say someth
Chapter 1042 – The Revercrest Patriarch’s Dread
*****As soon as the Revercrest patriarch saw his son’s reaction, he felt his body tremble as though a low surge of electric current had touched him.Before he could even stop himself, a deep, trembling breath slipped out as he wiped the cold sweat from his brow.Then, for the first time in what felt like an eternity, a wide smile spread across his face, relief washing over him so intensely that it almost felt like euphoria.‘They knew him!’‘Thank heavens… they knew him!’He nearly wept.Meanwhile, across the room, the wealthy man’s eyes gleamed faintly, a subtle flash of interest passing through them before he turned slightly, exchanging a brief, unreadable glance with his PA.She met his gaze respectfully; however, no words were exchanged.The patriarch, however, didn’t have the luxury of silence.“You three should start talking… now!” he ordered anxiously and hopefully, his gaze snapping between the three men.His voice carried urgency, fear, and desperation all at once
Chapter 1041 – “How Could It Be Him?”
*****Before accepting the photograph, the Revercrest Patriarch had anticipated many people… A seasoned middle-aged powerhouse, the leader of another first-rank force, or even the leader of some second-rank family, pretending to be weak… any face at all that made sense.But this?The photograph showed only a boy who couldn’t be more than 25 yet, and this…The old man lifted his gaze toward the wealthy man, his mouth parting slightly, desperately hoping that this was nothing but some joke. After all, how could someone this young be the said Organization’s competitor?It made no sense whatsoever. But…The wealthy man’s face remained unchanged.‘He doesn’t look like he’s joking…’ The realization struck the elderly patriarch like ice water.And before he even knew it, cold sweat soaked into his clothes, clinging uncomfortably to his skin.The problem was simple… and also fatal at the same time.He had never seen the face in the photograph before, and given the gravity of the wea
Chapter 1040 – “A Boy?”
*****At this moment, the Revercrest Patriarch wouldn’t stop thinking, even after what felt like an eternity had already passed.His mind spiraled in tight, wild, and frantic circles, sifting through every family, every hidden faction, and every power in this city.Yet, no matter how hard he searched or how desperately he dug through his memories, he could not think of a single force capable of standing against the terrifying organization.Not one.So… his throat bobbed as he swallowed, suppressing his helplessness while summoning the last trace of courage he had left.Then slowly and painfully, he lifted his head at last, his mouth opening.“Ma… master,” he stammered, his voice thin and unsteady. “Are you… Are you really sure you are talking about this city?” He dared to raise his eyes just enough to sneak another glance at the wealthy man seated before him.However, the moment their gazes almost aligned, his last resolve shattered.He dropped his head again as if struck, sw

It’s dragging and boring to say the least. Get on with the story line or you’re going to ruin it big time.
The scene in the conference room took several chapters only to conclude with Lucius leaving. This is longer than a whole episode of Perry Mason.
