Chapter 1230 – Silas’s Disbelief
*****“The moment the incidents occurred, social media exploded,” the subordinate began, his tone tightening as he recalled the events. “Accounts everywhere began to post, repost, and spread it like wildfire. For a time, it was complete chaos.”Silas’s expression didn’t change, but his eyes sharpened slightly.“As expected,” the man continued, “damage control kicked in quickly. Within an hour, most of the posts were wiped clean like they were never there.”A faint, humorless smirk tugged at the corner of Silas’s lips.“That sounds more like them,” he murmured under his breath.“But…” the subordinate hesitated briefly before continuing, “for some reason, Anonymous404 stepped in. They posted a new report… far more detailed, and just like that… everything exploded again.”Silas’s brows furrowed deeply, his eyes narrowing into slits.He didn’t interrupt or ask questions.He remained silent, listening as the subordinate explained what had led to the incident… what had driven his f
Chapter 1229 – Anonymous404’s Reputation
*****Anonymous404 was a group that existed in the shadows… unseen, untraceable, and utterly untouchable.They weren’t rumors or myths spoken about by bored elites trying to scare each other into behaving… they are painfully and inconveniently real.This group held verified accounts across every major media platform in the city, with a loud, undeniable presence.However, their identities and physical locations remained a complete void… nothing but an empty question mark no one had ever been able to fill.Every first-rank family and top-tier force with even a shred of influence had poured resources into uncovering them.Hackers, intelligence units, and private investigators… some even went so far as to recruit defectors from rival factions to gain an edge.Yet all of it led to the same result… nothing.Not a trace, clue, or even digital footprint that could be chased.It was as if Anonymous404 didn’t operate within the system… but above it, or worse… outside of it entirely.T
Chapter 1228 – Silas’s Concern
*****Instinctively, Silas didn’t even bother reading the headline at first.Instead, his gaze snapped upward toward the source of the post, focusing on the profile behind the publication.And then…His heart skipped a beat.“These… guys?” he muttered in a daze, his expression instantly turning grave.He stared at the mask… the infamous, mocking, and almost taunting symbol staring right back at him from the profile picture…The Guy Fawkes mask.It didn’t smirk, but somehow, it felt like it was.Seeing this, Silas swallowed and hurriedly dragged his gaze downward, finally forcing himself to read the headline.And the moment he did…“This…”His eyes widened so abruptly it looked as though they might physically pop out of their sockets, and his heartbeat spiked violently, slamming against his ribs with such force it genuinely felt like it might break free and sprint away from his body in protest.“How…?”His lips parted slowly, disbelief freezing his expression in place as
Chapter 1227 – Silas’s Confusion
*****Silas slipped his phone out of his pocket and glanced at the caller ID.But in the very next second, his brows drew together ever so slightly… not enough to be obvious, but enough to betray a flicker of curiosity.Then, without hesitation, he pressed the green button and lifted the device to his ear.“Any new intel for me?” he asked, his tone deliberately casual and almost bored, as he stretched his neck and let out a lazy yawn.The performance was flawless, enough to leave anyone listening to assume he was a man completely at ease… someone with no racing thoughts, and certainly no recent brush with a walking disaster named Xavier.There was a brief pause on the other end.A little too long, enough that Silas’s eyes shifted faintly, suspicion creeping in as he wondered whether the call had dropped… or whether the caller had suddenly lost the ability to speak altogether.He was just about to pull the phone away and check the screen when…“Master,” a voice finally came th
Chapter 1226 – Silas’s Resentment
*****Initially, when Silas heard Xavier say he had changed his mind, a surge of wild, almost foolish joy had exploded within him.At that instant, he had been certain Xavier had reconsidered and decided to take him in as a subordinate… a realization that had nearly made him faint from joy after the initial blow.But then, realizing that Xavier was talking about something else, he had been incredibly disappointed.But what came next… that was something else entirely.By the time Xavier finished speaking and walked away, Silas felt as though someone had shoved his head into a freezing abyss.His complexion drained instantly, turning deathly pale as cold adrenaline surged violently down his spine, prickling his skin and leaving a faint tremor in its wake.Even for a long moment after Xavier left, Silas couldn’t recover.He remained rooted in place, stiff and unresponsive, as though his body had temporarily forgotten how to function.If anything, Xavier’s voice echoed over and o
Chapter 1225 – Silas’s Fright II
*****Silas had always prided himself on his control… his ability to act, hide, and deceive, but right now, he felt as though he were nothing more than a clown.“You… you know?” he blurted out, his voice stripped of all pretense, and his face drained of every trace of blood.Xavier, however, didn’t answer, but he didn’t need to.The look in his eyes… cold, sharp, and faintly disdainful was more than enough.Seeing it, Silas felt a wave of humiliation crash over him so violently that he almost wished the ground beneath his feet would split open and swallow him whole, burying him somewhere far away from this moment.He had thought he was careful enough, clever, and that he had hidden everything well enough that even if Xavier ended up being as he had feared, he wouldn’t notice, yet…“I…” he tried again, his lips moving before his mind could catch up, desperate to salvage something… anything from the wreckage, but…“Also,” Xavier spoke again, cutting him off as effortlessly as on

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.
