Lucius had never taken Xavier to his mind and he had long sentenced him to death, merely waiting for news from his bodyguard whom he had dispatched to assassin him now.

Never in his wildest dreams—or rather, nightmares—had he expected the next news he would hear about Xavier to be that he had slain a godlike figure such as an E-rank fighter, a level that none in his own family, despite its strength and position, had yet to attain.

“You know him?” Borgia asked urgently, noticing Lucius’s dumbstruck expression and outburst. But Lucius was too frozen in shock and disbelief right now to react.

He remained transfixed, staring dazedly at the phone displaying Xavier's image, where he was smiling at his parents outside the underground fighting club.

Lucius’s mind was in complete turmoil, overwhelmed with fear as he remembered how he had treated Xavier earlier and even sent someone to assassinate him.

He stayed like this for a moment before suddenly, something seemed to

  • Chapter 1019 – The Prime Minister’s Envy

    *****Xavier was completely dumbstruck after hearing the Prime Minister’s words, unable to react for a moment. Then he genuinely didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at such an exaggeration.It’s just transportation… something so mundane,” he said lightly, scratching the top of his nose. “As long as I get to my destination, what does it matter which type I take?” he responded, genuinely helpless.However, his response nearly ended the poor old man.The Prime Minister felt a powerful urge to grab his own hair and yank it out in handfuls. ‘Do you even hear yourself, grandmaster?! he screamed internally. ‘You’re an Erudite Grandmaster. How could you be seen riding in a taxi…’If word of this ever got out, half the world would lose its collective mind, and above all, he would face severe backlash for failing to provide the Grandmaster with personal transportation, let alone a proper convoy, and instead, he had made him take a taxi.It was…The Prime Minister couldn’t help but swallo

  • Chapter 1018 – The Prime Minister’s Unwillingness

    *****Reginald, hearing what his father had just said, couldn’t help but blink, still unable to recover from his recent revelation.But then his eyes lit up, processing what his father had just said.In the following second, his earlier confusion and frustration vanished completely as though they had never been there in the first place, replaced by excitement so sharp that it made his blood hum.Then a wide grin spread across his face, the kind that only appeared when something big… very big was about to happen.“Right away, Father,” he responded eagerly and then pulled out his cell phone from his pocket, only to freeze for a second when the screen lit up.569 missed calls, and about a hundred messages stared back at himIt took a moment for Reginald to react, then he let out a bitter chuckle, already knowing where the calls and messages came from even before checking.And just as he had expected, most of the calls were from the headquarters… his secretaries, siblings, the dep

  • Chapter 1017 – The Harrison Patriarch’s Reason

    *****At this moment, Roland stared at his father as though he were trying to bore a hole straight through his skull.His breathing was uneven, his chest rising and falling far too fast, and his heart slamming against his ribs like it was trying to escape.A thousand ugly possibilities burning in his mind, each worse than the last. He needed there to be a reason… something calculated and deliberate behind his father’s actions.Because if this had been done out of kindness or out of misplaced mercy, then everything they had worked for was finished.The opportunity to work for the Grandmaster and be owed by him would be gone.Thinking this, the man couldn’t help but clench his fists so tightly that his knuckles went pale.Across from him, however, the Harrison Patriarch looked… amused.He wasn’t angry, offended, or even displeased.If anything, when he saw his son fuming so frantically in such visible distress, the old man smiled faintly, softly, and almost fondly, then he rele

  • Chapter 1016 – “That Was Our Opportunity!”

    *****The man she loved now stood so high above her to the extent that her family was willing to chain themselves to him forever.Even without soul-bound slavery, she already knew the truth.She had lost him forever.In fact, even dreaming of him now felt nothing but blasphemousThey were no longer standing on the same ground… and that’s if they had ever been on the same ground before.As for the gap between them… it wasn’t just a step or a chasm again. It was heaven and earth, a realization that crushed her, hollowing her chest and leaving a pain so sharp that she nearly staggered when she stood.Before Cassandra even realized it, her fingers trembled frantically, her lips pressing into a thin line.Tears threatened to fall from her eyes… but she swallowed them down viciously as hard as she could, forcing herself to act strong even though she wasn’t.‘So this is what it feels like,’ she thought bitterly to herself. ‘To want something you were never meant to touch.’Yet still… she fol

  • Chapter 1015 – Cassandra’s Pain

    *****The Blackwood patriarch moved, rushing toward their vehicle as though time itself had suddenly become his enemy.His pace was frantic and urgent, making him appear like a man who had just received word that his home was burning and only he could save it.The sight was so absurdly unexpected that it shattered the stunned silence.For a few seconds that felt like an eternity, his descendants remained rooted to the spot, staring after the old man with expressions filled with confusion, disbelief, and unanswered questions.‘What just happened?’‘What did Father/grandfather realize?’‘Why did he run away like the world is ending?’They exchanged bewildered glances, each silently hoping someone else had understood more than they had.But then…The eyes of Darius, the youngest of the three brothers… and the sharpest mind among them, suddenly widened as realization struck like lightning.“I get it now,” he muttered under his breath.Without another word, he sprang to his feet and took o

  • Chapter 1014 – “I Know What To Do Now”

    *****A pin-drop silence currently swallowed the entire space.It was the kind of silence that pressed against the ears, heavy enough to make breathing feel intrusive.No one moved, no one spoke. Instead, every pair of eyes was locked onto the Harrison old man, staring dazedly at him, unable to comprehend the revelation he had just made.Everyone… except the Blackwood patriarch.That’s right.At this moment, the elderly man wasn’t even looking at the Harrison patriarch at all.In fact, he wasn’t looking at anyone.If anything, his gaze was currently fixed on empty space, unfocused and distant, appearing as though his soul had just momentarily drifted somewhere far away.His face was blank… so blank that it was impossible to tell whether he had even understood what had just been said, or whether his mind had simply collapsed under the weight of hope and fear colliding at onceFor a terrifying moment, even his sons wondered…‘Did Father… break?’But just at that moment and without the s
