Chapter 1687 – Enemies
*****For a moment, Sage Myron simply stared at Xavier, as though he had just heard a death sentence delivered by the one person he could never appeal to. The color drained from his face, and his eyes gradually filled with tears of despair."Sir, I..." He swallowed painfully before attempting to continue. "I have served you faithfully, haven't I? Surely, there are other people in this world who would be more suitable for such an important task. I can help you prepare everything you need before your departure. I can even personally arrange all the necessary resources!"He paused, searching desperately for another argument that might save him from the horrifying prospect of another teleportation journey."Perhaps I could remain behind and coordinate everything from here?"The plea was so earnest that Xavier finally lost control of his expression. Mistress Ayra also burst into laughter, and within seconds, both of them were laughing so hard that Sage Myron's desperate face became even mo
Chapter 1686 – The Hunt Begins II
*****Matthew’s expression hardened as he continued, the earlier satisfaction in his eyes giving way to ruthless determination.“Mobilize every intelligence organization operating in the city. I want them searching for that boy immediately.”“Establish checkpoints at every major intersection, monitor the roads leading into and out of the city, and make sure every available CCTV feed is being watched around the clock. I don't want people merely collecting information and handing me useless reports three hours later. I want actionable intelligence the moment they discover anything.”The two B-rank fighters exchanged a brief glance.Matthew was not making a casual request.He intended to use every resource available to him, and his orders would require a substantial mobilization of manpower. Roads would need to be monitored, personnel reassigned, surveillance systems checked, and countless people pulled away from their ordinary duties. The city would feel the effects of the operation bef
Chapter 1685 – The Hunt Begins
*****This outcome was far better than anything they could have anticipated.If Xavier had emerged from the cruise ship as they had originally expected, the situation would have been entirely different.With so many powerful cultivators gathered in one place, nearly everyone would have rushed to seize him, and the resulting confrontation could have been disastrous.Even if someone managed to overpower Xavier and claim his resources, there was no guarantee they would be able to keep their spoils.The moment the fighting began, every other cultivator would become a potential enemy, and the treasures they had fought so desperately to obtain might not even be enough to compensate for their losses.Now, however, the circumstances had changed completely.Xavier was no longer standing before a crowd of greedy cultivators who could all claim to have a chance at him.He had disappeared somewhere beyond their immediate reach, and nobody knew his exact whereabouts. That uncertainty had transform
Chapter 1684 – Conclusion
*****“Judging by how excited you bunch of selfish fellows are, one would think you could actually afford to boycott Celestial Pearl,” she remarked lazily.The effect was immediate.Several heads turned toward her, and the expressions on their faces darkened.“Who dares…” one man spat, his voice rising as he turned toward the speaker.Then he saw her.The rest of his sentence died so abruptly that one might have suspected it had choked on its own stupidity.The cultivators around him suffered a similar transformation. Those who had been standing proudly a moment earlier suddenly looked as though they had wandered into the den of a sleeping monster and accidentally stepped on its tail.Several swallowed hard and lowered their heads, while others broke into a cold sweat despite the breeze blowing in from the water.Nobody needed to ask who she was. The notorious Demoness Celeste was not someone a sensible cultivator would provoke merely to prove that he possessed a functioning tongue.T
Chapter 1683 – Speculations Outside the Ship II
*****For an instant, even the people who had been shouting fell quiet. Their breathing hitched, and their pupils constricted as the possibility took root in their minds. The more they considered it, the more convincing it seemed.Xavier was practically a walking goldmine. Despite having no publicly known backing powerful enough to explain his behavior, he possessed an astonishing amount of wealth and access to resources that most cultivators could only dream of obtaining.He had spent lavishly at the auction, acquiring valuable items without displaying the slightest hesitation over their prices. To people who measured a man's worth by the treasures he carried, Xavier was less a person than an opportunity waiting to be exploited.And Celestial Pearl was hardly an exception to human greed.If the auction house had decided to eliminate him, it could potentially reclaim the enormous payments he had made for the items he purchased, recover the treasures it had sold him, and put those same
Chapter 1682 – Speculations Outside the Ship
*****Outside the cruise ship, only a handful of the Lower Realm attendees had chosen to leave, unwilling to risk becoming collateral damage in whatever confrontation was about to unfold.The people from the Upper Realm had spread themselves along the shore, their gazes fixed on the cruise ship's exits.Every one of them remained on high alert, watching for the slightest movement that might signal Xavier's appearance.Some stood with their arms folded, others wore impatient scowls, and a few had already begun imagining how they would deal with the young man once he finally emerged.Whatever their individual plans might have been, they shared one expectation: Xavier would eventually walk out of that ship, and when he did, he would have to answer for his actions.The people from the Lower Realm, meanwhile, had wisely stationed themselves much farther away.They understood the difference between watching a confrontation and volunteering to become part of it.The Upper Realm cultivators w

Does revising a single chapter serve a significant purpose, given the readers are adults?
